Bass, known as Forte (フォルテ) in Japan, is a series of Battle Chips in the Mega Man Battle Network series that summons Bass.EXE to attack opponents.
Battle Chips[]
Bass's Battle Chips in the first three games:
- Bass (フォルテ, Forte in Japan) summons Bass to attack with his Explosion attack, firing in quick succession in the row he appears. His power was reduced in Mega Man Battle Network 2, but he hits more times.
- Bass+, known as Forte Another (フォルテアナザー Forute Anazā) in Japan, summons Bass to attack the nearest enemy with Earth Breaker. The attack can damage panels.
- Bass GS (フォルテGS Forte GS) summons Bass to attack with Vanishing World. The attack can damage panels. This chip was only available in events, and overwrittes the Bass/Bass+ chip.
Later, the pattern of Bass's Battle Chips changed in Mega Man Battle Network 4 onward:
- Bass (フォルテ, Forte in Japan) summons Bass to attack the enemy area multiple times with Shooting Buster, hitting random panels.
- Bass Anomaly (フォルテアナザー Forte Another in Japan, shortened as BassAnly) summons Bass to attack with Hell's Rolling.

Program Advance[]
Darkness, known as Dark Messiah (ダークメシア) in Japan, is a Program Advance that requires a Bass chip to be used.
In Mega Man Battle Network 2, Darkness is formed by using Bass V3 X + Anti Navi X + Fire/Aqua/Elec/Wood Gospel X. Gospel attacks with the selected elemental breath, hitting six of the nine panels in the opponent's area and one in his area. If the enemies survive the overwhelming attack, Bass uses Earth Break on the closest column and breaks the empty panels. Bass usually hits in the corner of the area, hitting the area Gospel couldn't reach. Causes up to 3000 damage.
In Mega Man Battle Network 6, Darkness is formed by using Voodoo Doll F + Voodoo Doll F + Bass (Gregar version) or BassAnly (Falzar version) F. A shadow of MegaMan appears, holding out a Gospel head, and shoots out a Flame Breath, which deals Fire damage. Bass then appears and unleashes a sword slash. Causes 300 damage.
Mega Man Battle Network 4 has a variation named Dark Messiah Neo (ダークメシアネオ shortened as DarkNeo) that can only be used as MegaMan DS. It is formed with Dark Line * + Bug Chain * + Bass (Red Sun) or BassAnly (Blue Moon) X. When activated, MegaMan DS uses the Gospel Cannon to fire three shots on the line above, below, and in front of him. Bass then uses Darkness Overload and cracks all enemy panels in the process. Each hit does 250 damage, and a single enemy can be hit up to 4 times for a total damage of 1000.
