Mega Man Zero/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, more for each elf used, and how rare it was. Avoid using them if you want a high rank. There are three normal kinds of Cyber-Elf:


 * Nurse: Nurse elves often improve Zero's health by increasing the life energy gauge, becoming Sub Tanks, or dropping life energy. They are good to use in a tight pinch, such as in boss fights.
 * Animal: Animal elves come to Zero's aid by improving his abilities or providing a few skills of their own. They are useful against hordes of enemies, and can provide backup.
 * Hacker: Hacker elves are capable of altering data, giving Zero more time under a time limit, getting rid of certain enemies, weakening bosses, or even eliminating the threat of instant-kill spikes from the game.

Along with these elves, Jackson, a very unique Cyber-Elf, will become yours, should you collect all the others, feed them to completion, and get through the game without using any and save the game clear data.


 * Rare: A one-of-a-kind Cyber-Elf with the very special ability to make you invincible. He requires the most E-Crystals to raise, but the rewarding effect makes you untouchable. The only exceptions are falling into pits and getting crushed.
