I tried the Lifesword PA against him aswell. and i had 3 Sword,widesword, and LongSword so i could do it 3 times. Yet when he turned into bats, i could never hit A fast enough to hit him with it. as for the recovery chips, get the Recover300 from Numberman trader, buy one in chip ordering system, then go to the Special Chip Trader in Netopia and drop in all recovery chips. I have found that if you put in mostly recover chips, youll get a good recover chip most of the time. I got 4 recov300's out of it and a bunch of Recov200's. To continue a bit on the Shademan strat. i played against him last night agian with a new setup. Heres what i used on him:
Navicust
-----------
HP+500
BustrPack
Atk+1
Chrg+1
Bug stop
HP+200(i think its a 200, but the NC block is a strait line of 4 sqaures.)
Folder:*note this is only the chips i HAD to put in there, the rest was filler to make it 30 chips and useable.so toss w/e you want in there.
2 GunDelsol3
1 GundelSolEX
4 Recov300
4 Recov200
4 AreaGrab
2 Metagel
1 Searchman(Search Soul to shuffle chips)
1 Gutsman(helps to arealock him)
1 TopMan
3 Atk+10
1 Atk+30
2 Heat-V(Flame Soul is quite useful)
1 MetorRedSun( the chip given by Lan's Dad, tho i think it has a different name >.>)
To do a massive damage amount to him, first get him into the four bats with a charged shot. then have the chips Topman/Atk+30/Atk+10/Atk+10/Atk+10 this raises the Topman chip to 80 damage. his chip creates 4 tops,one on each corner, wich each hit your enemy for 80 damage each. and then Topman himself jumps and lands on the enemy hitting him 3 times at double the power of the 4 tops i think.320 for all the tops, and 480 for Topman's landing on the enemy, it does 800 damage. Full Synchro brings it up to a whopping 1600!!! Shademan only has 1500 HP if i recall right. So if your any good in math, youd know that he'll die from this.
