Bass.EXE's build is being edited for clarity. The following changes will be implemented:

-Life Aura is being tweaked. Currently it says the following: "Bass.EXE will also negate the first enemy mercenary Start of Battle ability that targets him used by a mercenary that is 4 Upkeep or higher, after which this passive will be disabled.". This uses 'targeting cancellation' which is not used in this way anywhere else, significantly weakening the passive from what it's supposed to do, and also uses the unclear wording 'negate' instead of 'Nullify. The new wording will be as follows: "Bass.EXE will also nullify the first enemy mercenary Start of Battle ability to hit him used by a mercenary of Upkeep 4 or higher, after which this passive will be disabled.". The combination of standardizing game terms and resolution timings removes dumb edge cases and unclear interps.
-Get Ability is also being tweaked for clarity. Currently it says the following: "However, he'll keep his interest strictly on battle, choosing only to copy a preselected customization from a preselected mercenary that was present for that battle. This ability may be used vs non-rostered mercs at a 50% rate.". Unclear verbiage makes it so it's hard to tell how it works ('present' is not a game term!). The wording will be changed to the following: "However, he'll keep his interest strictly on battle, choosing to copy a preselected customization from a preselected mercenary that was rosterable for the week's battle. This ability may be used against rosterable mercenaries that weren't rostered with a 50% chance of failure."
-Lastly, his battle writeup is being edited to clarify that he does not just draw from the MMBN4 and 5 Omega forms. He should be drawing from MMBN3 Bass Omega GS as well, but the writeup is unclear on that at the moment. His new battle writeup will be as follows:

"Bass.EXE is as he appears in the Megaman Battle Network series, with access to all the moves and properties of his Omega forms (including Bass Omega GS), though if any of his barriers/auras is destroyed, he loses access to all of them for the rest of the fight. He can operate here the same way he does on the Net."

-Similarly, his character upgrade should specify "...and BX forms (including both Gregar and Falzar)". He's supposed to get everything, not just one version's stuff.

As this is more than just clarification (the Life Aura change in particular is, well, an actual change), we are obligated to offer the opportunity to refund Bass if you so choose. I wouldn't recommend it, as he's served you very well, but the choice is yours.

Shine on, you crazy diamond.
