There comes a time in a Beast’s life where you ready to progress into maturity. Nanoblasting is when a Beast turns into a BEAST. Your the tallest hovering over all your party, and you can smash and bash to any enemy on the screen. But there are a few requirements before you can become a full blown beast.
If you answered YES to all three questions you may already be a Winner!
On the Guardians Colony, head to the 3rd Floor, and enter the Makeup Shop. Choose a Beast Badge and select from the four choices.
After you select your choice you can now officially Nanoblast.
While your battling, you will notice a 4 bars below your name. Each bar starts out grey and will slowly fill up. These bars fill up when you attack an enemy, or when the enemy attacks you. They fill up much faster when you are critically hit, so if you need to fill them up fast just try to get hit, and eventually it will become a glowing lens flare!

During this mode you can now push your Main attack and Photon Art Attack buttons at the same time. No matter what console you are playing on; Xbox 360, PS2, or PC, you will always need to press your Main attack and Photon Art Attack buttons together. You can only do this when you are not moving, otherwise you will just keep hitting enemies.

A Blue Beast is an Independent Beast
There are four different Beast Badges

Its your Motherbrain and she’s mad that you didn’t wash the dishes!
Motherbrain is back for a new purpose and a new goal. She’s been infected by the seed and its up to you to purify her. Motherbrain is pretty much the same as Dulk Fakis in pretty much everything, with a few minor differences.
Her mainly annoying action is to put shields up. During this time if your in a large party, this won’t be much of a problem. Your party can just keep blasting at her sheilds while someone is there to heal you. However in a 1-2 person party this will be problematic as most of your attacks hit 0. During this time its best to wait for her arms to come down, back away before they slam on top of you, then attack her arms directly. When her arms moves towards you, face forward and try not to turn your back against it. We’ll explain in more detail later on why you should do that.

Her other attack is the blueish purple gas that comes up most of the time when she has her sheilds up. You should again face forward and keep running forward when this gas pushes you back.
When her shields are down, you have a limited time to attack at her face. Listen for the vocal and sound effect cues that tell you when she’s about to put her machine gun and blast you to peices. Its easily avoidable if you pay attention to a white ring on the ground. However if your constantly dodging her machine gun attacks you won’t have any time to even hit her.
So why should you face forward during her attack? Leo yells, "From Behind!" for a reason. If your back is facing her arm, she will have a higher chance of critical damage against you. If you face forward, you will have a higher chance of dodging her attacks, thus you’ll be able to do the Just Counter. For her arm, I would suggest to stay away from it when she’s about to push you back since you won’t be dodging her attacks all the time, but if you get stuck in the situation where your pressed against her arms, just face forward. For her purple gas, I always recommend staying forward because this is her most easily dodgeable attack.
