## Tips

* Hub Style MegaMan.EXE is an excellent all-around character, having a straightforward but powerful Charge Shot along with several secondary skills to pick from, each having its own use. Fully upgraded, Hub becomes a highly customizable unit who can utilize any weapon setup thanks to the status effects of his skills. Unlike other characters with status effects, Hub does not have the ability to bypass preventative shields or immunity, which can make him inconsistent at times. Regardless, being a jack-of-all-trades and master of none, Hub is a great unit to use until you've acquired a unit for a more specific niche.
	+ Life Sword is a powerful yet simple melee attack that is good for PvP; a clean hit followed by a Charge Shot will usually be enough to KO an opponent with the ATK buff from the Charged shot card.
		- You can also use it as a recovery option with Peace of Mind I-DNA from characters like DiVE Armor X, which is useful for boss fights that don't involve enemy fodder.
	+ Poison Pharaoh is a good option for Raids and bulky bosses in general, as it stays on the field for a surprisingly long time and has a strong DEF Reduction. The poison cloud it emits has a smaller radius than it appears to, however, so careful placement is key.
	+ BodyGuard is a more niche but still helpful option for PvP, as it can keep enemy skills sealed for a long period of time if they lack resistance or immunity.
	+ HyperBurst, while weaker than the other skills, has the best range for larger maps and good crowd control like PoisonPharaoh.
	+ The Charge Shot is also simple and straightforward, having a noticeable charge time and cooldown but packing a much bigger punch than other shots. With the DNA, it also has great range and can penetrate terrain as well as up to 5 targets, making it a great crowd sweeper thanks to its large hitbox.

## Trivia

* In Mega Man Battle Network 2, Hub Style has the benefit of giving MegaMan.EXE all positive traits for Custom Style, Guts Style, Shield Style and Team Style, but came at the cost of 50% of his maximum HP. Future Battle Network games would see Hub Style return in other forms, but often with similar bonuses and attributes.
* MegaMan.EXE's green, data-like patterns on his armor parts comes from a promotional picture of Hub Style for Mega Man Battle Network 2, as well as Hub Style's appearance in the Mega Man NT Warrior manga. In the manga, Bass.EXE could also be seen using a variation of Hub Style acquired via his Get Ability program.
	+ In its original ingame appearance, the only noticeable physical change from MegaMan's normal form to Hub Style is a brighter blue hue to his helmet, arms and feet, as opposed to the physical changes seen in other forms such as Custom Style's enlarged backpack or Guts Style's large gauntlet.
