Valkyria!

S-ranks (A-ranks in the NA version) are cake once you get Scouts to Elite Scouts. Alicia can just dash for the flag in most missions and skirmishes, provided you give her some support with orders. It's..almost like cheating. >___>

I want the DLCs! Edy's probably my favorite Shocktrooper next to Vyse and Jane. :D

Yeah, Vyse is definitely my favorite Shocktrooper right now. I think next I'd have to say Edy, then Mica. I do have a question though.

You can't exactly occupy the enemy's main camp until you defeat the enemies around the flag first, so how does a scout go about defeating say..2-3 Shocktroopers by him or herself? That's the only reason I never have Alicia rush the main base because she'll just get owned, lol.

What's usually the plan for getting an A like that? I would take Vyse with her, but he can't even keep up with her right now. I can't imagine how hard it would be when she gets Double Movement -_-

Right. There's usually 2-3 enemy units based around the flag. If you've managed to play the whole stage correctly, you should be able to have enough CP to take advantage of and pick them off with headshots one by one, with enough to run to the flag and occupy the base. Orders are a must if you really want a sure survival for Alicia. Evade Boost and Defense Boost (Awaken Potential can help tremendously but not needed and Attack Boost is optional, but I always use it just in-case the enemy survives) are staples and will help make sure she survives (hopefully) enemy attacks on the way to the flag.

Of course..some of the missions require lots of luck and saving in-between turns (for reloading if anything doesn't go your way). I just recently finished mission 11 (smoke screen mission) and that took a bunch of reloading on my part since I wanted to ace that mission first try. :O

Oh, right. Orders, lol. Damn.

I keep forgetting about them, actually. I forget about them or can't end up deciding on who needs what the most. I'll try that plan later though and see how it works out.

Also, I nearly shat a brick when finishing Chapter 7 and getting a B rank, lol. Man, I thought I was going to get a D for sure. Fortunately though, the only loss I had throughout the whole fight was Largo.

Yeah, he ate Selvaria's "pew pew lance". Vyse would have died, but he's fucking crazy, lol. He laid down when she tried shooting at him, then shot her back even though it was pointless to even try.

This was the first mission I ever saved during though. I actually didn't know you could until I went to contemplate on loading my file, cause I thought Selvaria's crew was just going to rush in immediately after arriving and my troops were in bad positions at the time. Instead, I ended up saving it and was like, "Hey, I didn't know you could do that ._.". I got kind of tired of having to re-position all of my units if I had to load during a mission, so it would be a good idea to remember this feature, lol.

As for chapter 11..smoke screen sounds rough, but I'll just have to wait and see when I reach that point. Also, it's not much of a "first" try if you keep on reloading it, now is it?

<.<

 

[Shade_Buster]

Haha, I guess you do have a point. >___>

Chapter 7 was really an epic battle for me. Selvaria coming out of nowhere with that, as you say "pew pew lance" scared the shiz out of me. One person died during that battle..I think it was Homer the Engineer. Meh, he was only filler anyway..

Yeah, A-ranking 11 is pretty rough but if you want to finish it normally, it isn't bad at all. :)

Anyone here like snipers? At first I thought they sucked in the beginning but after getting Marina (emo looking chick with black hair from the demo) and leveling her to Elite Sniper, she can one shot enemies MILES away (provided you have the good sniping weapons). Really too bad they have crap defense, HP, and move.
