Mega Man Zero 2/Cyber-Elves

Zero can collect "Cyber-Elves" which have a wide variety of useful effects. However, they die when used, so you get docked mission points for using them. Avoid using them if you want a high rank, which is necessary to collect EX Skills.

In order to raise all the cyber elves, a total of 6770 crystals are required. The Rainbow Devil's EX Skill will definitely come in handy to get to that point.

Small cyber-elves

 * "-eff"-type
 * (6) Kereff, Mureff, Nureff, Oreff, Pireff, Rireff
 * They restore some health. "Eff" probably stands for the "F" of "First aid".
 * "-ick"-type
 * (4) Emick, Mitick, Parick, Satick
 * Each one of these elves either fully restores your health or fills a sub-tank.
 * "-oppe"-type
 * (4) Culoppe, Meloppe, Miloppe, Reloppe
 * These elves fly around dropping health items.
 * "-lar"-type
 * (4) Ishilar, Mikilar, Remilar, Tomilar
 * Each one of these elves becomes a shield that absorbs enemy shots and turns them into health.

Medium cyber-elves

 * "-nue"-type
 * Crystals required: 300 each (600 total)
 * (2) Arnue, Charnue
 * Each one of them gives you two extra lives, and makes you start with two extra lives, too. "Nue" probably refers to "New life".
 * "-tan"-type
 * Crystals required: 400 each (800 total)
 * (2) Estan, Peatan
 * Each one becomes a sub-tank. If you need a sub-tank, it means that you suffered lots of damage, therefore your mission score will not only be penalized by the use of these permanent ("fusion") elves, but also by the high damage Zero suffered. Obviously, the "tan" suffix refers to "tank".
 * "-pie"-type
 * Crystals required: 250 each (1000 total)
 * (4) Euppie, Fuppie, Mappie, Yeppie
 * Each one of them increases your maximum health by 4 points. All together, the four of them double Zero's HP.

Rare cyber-elf

 * Grandie
 * Crystals required: 1000 (300+700)
 * It doubles your health (adds a blue layer to your health bar). If used together with the four "pie"-type elves, Zero's health is multiplied by four.

Unless stated therwise, all Nurse Cyber-Elves are found in boxes.

Cyber-elves locations
"Satellite" cyber-elf is a definition that is actually introduced in Mega Man Zero 3. It refers here to cyber-elves that once activated are not used up until the end of a mission (or the beginning of one, if they were activated in an intermission).

Why this distinction? Because you might want to get all the EX Skills plus the Ultimate Form in the same game, and in order to do so the best strategy would be not ot use any cyber-elf until before the last mission. Well, the "satellite" cyber-Elves prevent this, because once you use three at the same time, you cannot use any other elf until the beginning or the end of next mission. Therefore, you might rather choose to use one of such small elves per mission (to minimize the rank penalty) until all of them are used, or use three of them per mission after you get all the EX Skills.
