Battling Scanned Monsters
If you scan a
Battle Scan Monster
or a
Grudge
Match Monster
while you have at least three
active monsters of your own, an "alarm" will
sound and you will need to battle the intruding
monsters. These guys are tricky. Once you scan a
battle-hungry monster into your controller, it uses
its limited power to summon two other monsters
from nearby barcodes to fight along side it. So be
careful!
Secret Flux Hint:
Before the battle begins, you
will be given the choice to either fight or run away.
If you only have a few monsters or most of them
are weak, you may want to run away so you can
fight again another day! Don’t forget if you don’t
battle your monsters they won’t get stronger.
New Battle Strategy!
After you've assembled your team, the controller
will show you the battlefield. The monsters will
each be represented by their class symbol (Tech,
Power, or Magic as mentioned before).
Use the
Directional Pad
to move left and right to
highlight the monster you wish to send into battle
first. When the correct monster is highlighted,
press the
On - A Button
to make the selection.
Secret Flux Hint
: When your chosen monster's
"stats" appear (showing it's hit points), remember
that monster's number is in the top corner. When
it's time to fight, you'll need that number to deliver
a special "Combo Move"!
Just before and as you battle, you will see a
screen with your opponent's strength, your
strength, and a timer. As the timer counts, it's up
to you to press the
On - A Button
at the right
time. If you hit the
On - A Button
on your
monster's number, you will give it a "Combo
Move" during his attack. If you hit the
On - A
Button
on your opponent's monster's number,
you will give your monster a "Mega Block" during
their attack. There are also many other
combinations, some of which let you use items or
choose attacks. Be sure to get a "hit" or a "miss,"
or even get back some lost Hit Points! Check out
the skannerz.com website for battle moves.
In Skannerz Commander there are higher risks. If
you loose a monster it will be taken from your
team. If you win, you get to claim the scanned
monster and add him to your tribe. You can also
choose to banish him back to where he came
from!
Items
If you get to choose an item, your first item in
inventory comes up on the screen. Scroll through
your inventory until you find the item you want.
The items listed will automatically be compatible
with the type of monster you are using (you know,
Tech, Power or Magic). And remember, you only
get to use an item once. Then it gets zapped
back to whatever UPC code you found it in. So
choose your item wisely and keep your item bar
codes.
Secret Flux Hint
: Sometimes you get an
unlabeled potion as an item. Be VERY careful
before you let your monster drink it. Sometimes
it's good, but sometimes it's poison!
Battling A Friend's Collection Of Monsters
From the main menu, both you and your friend
choose the "V.S." feature and place your
controllers against each other, connecting the tabs
and slots at the top, making sure they snap
together.
This is just like battling monsters from random
barcodes. However, the winner gets to take a
monster from the looser. The winner will get a list
of all of the loser's monsters on that team. Use
the Directional Pad to scroll through them and
pick one. Once the monster is chosen; use the
On - A Button
to add that monster to your tribe.
Secret Flux Hint
: If you break away from a
friend's controller during a battle, you have 10
seconds to restore the connection before you lose
the game.
Healing Your Monsters
After many battles, even the best of us get our
monsters knocked out once in a while. Keep the
Radica bar code from your Skannerz package.
The barcode for your Skannerz package and
those found on all Radica products will heal
the monsters.
If your monster is knocked out, it is not active and
the "KO" symbol will flash at the bottom of your
screen. Choose "HEAL" from the main menu.
The knocked out monsters show on the screen
automatically. Press the
On - A Button
and scan
any Radica UPC.
Secret Flux Hint
: The Bar Code at the end of this
instruction manual will heal your monsters as well!
You may also want to keep a log of what codes
generated each monster and item. You may need
to find them again if you reset your scanner.
Sleep Mode:
After 60 seconds of inactivity, your controller will
automatically go into “sleep mode”. To turn it on
again, simply press the
On-A Button
and the
controller will return to the last screen you were
viewing.
