Ace Combat, Metal Wolf Chaos and Liberation Maiden in one game, fused worlds Z or V style. The Dominion (a facist group which could pretty much sprout from a Trump or Armstrong America) is loving poo poo up in other countries, including America's ally, Japan, so president Michael Wilson goes to their aid, while the treacherous Richard Hawk has teamed up with the Dominion to destroy freedom forever. As the world is poised on the brink of even greater disaster from Belka going full Hitler, it is clear that more allies are needed. Sadly berifit of resources as President in exile, and with the fledgling government of president Shoko Ozora not having much money to spare, they can only afford a single mercenary team, the Sapish pair that composes the mysterious Galm team. Fight heroes, fight for your people and your own justice! Metal Wolf is land based and relatively slow, but is armed to the teeth with weapons, being your basic super. Kamui has a nutso barrier and crazy range on its attacks, though they are weak, and somehow the purification gimmick comes into play. Cypher has many, many planes to choose from, so you can change to suit the mission at hand, and also kinda godly stats. On a completely different track, to get the V DLC I just need a Singapore PSN account and matching PSN cards, right?

Oh God, I just beat stage 4 of V, and I think Okita missed a memo somewhere. enemies having 75% chance to hit means they should be hitting like three times out of four, not missing 4 in 5. I am glad that enemy numbers are going up more quickly than they did in MD. I had everyone pretty much at around 150 will by the end there, which was enough that

Admittedly, I put a lot of money into it and gave it good parts because it's one of my favourites, but my point is that the MP F91's not a top-tier unit but can be good if you want to use it, especially since Kincade's ace bonus makes him able to Second Attack basically everything and most of the best UC units have pilot-locked finishers.

I upgraded Amuro too much and now he just wrecks everything so I have to avoid having him get kills because otherwise I won't see another Ace this playthrough. He's passed Hilda to get into 3rd Ace, but Rosalie still has a few kills on him. I have Ruri will probably be my next ace, and then Bright, Hathaway and Roux are close. I put Elle in the Delta Plus and she feels more useful now. I like the Mk II but it never clicked with me in Z3 and same goes for it here. I will screw around with UC pilot swapping second playthrough. When you go to NG+, how do you get refunded for the stat boosts you get during the game (like SKL up or RNG up or like when you get dash or attacker)? Those cost me zero TacP so do they refund into TacP or you only get actually spent TacP refunded?

Consider all that costs TAC - strong parts, stats, terrain ratings, pilot skills (including broken ones like SP Regen, Attacker), and the later Factory bonuses - and it's in your best interest to start raking it all in. Another reason also to always deploy Maito and go for his Ace bonus.

I went with- 1- HP/SP Regen 2- Bonus TAC Points 3- +10 Focus Limit at 3 ExC 4- +10 Focus on deployment The +10 on deployment is amazing. There's nothing quite like throwing out the Nadeisco's Gravity canon on turn 1. I got allt he DLC, and was able to max them out, and buy one of every skill on the tree to unlock them, and I just finished stage 18.

I seriously don't know how y'all are playing such that +10 on Turn 1 matters that much. You're not going to be in range to use the good stuff before 2, range of the bosses before 3. I never find myself lacking Will. Everybody has automatic SP Regen, and everybody who needs it either has Drive or Spirit. You can just cast the poo poo and you're done. Cast Drive on turn 1 while you're out of heavy counterhit range as you move up the field. Unless you need to hit the first grunt who hits your front lines with Shin Shine Spark, 140 Will (130 if they're not an Ace) is more than enough to coast through miniboss HP or whatever it is you need instant max Will for. Meanwhile, there's no replacement for being able to cast Boost Drive on turn 1. All your Accel users get +5 movement, which puts them inside enemy lines far enough that you can hit minibosses instantly, meaning you're getting more damage done regardless. On top of that, all your units whose Psychoframe/Lambda Driver/Biosensor/SEED/NT-D/IFS/Innovator/Meikyou Shisui modes haven't activated might actually get hit if you let them, which boosts their Will and activates Potential. Nobody in your army will ever really be at risk of death because you can Foresee any obviously lethal hit on a unit that doesn't have an extra life. Oh, right, if you kamikaze your double-life reals into the enemy lines on turn 1, those pilots not only get a ton of Will, but they get a free ammo reload once their ablative bits explode and it counts as an Ally getting shot down so everybody in your army gains Will. The Super Mode barely matters while the Unicorn still has the boosters on, anyway, so why not get the most out of the first form? This also gives your battleships the ability to cast Restore Action earlier and more often, which is absurd once you throw the ExC multiplier onto any of your 3 battleships that fall closer to the "murder" side of the spectrum than the "support" side. Ruri's gonna fire the Phase Transition Cannon every mission even if she starts with 80 Will. An extra Restore Action is an extra Final Breast Nova on the boss before turn 3 for the SR point. There isn't a wrong way to play this game, but I think you folks aren't experimenting enough.

I only picked the +10 because it says "attacking" so I thought it meant every time you attack which would mean I can avoid spending SP on Drive or Spirit before I found out it was a mistranslation.

You're not going to be in range to use the good stuff before 2, range of the bosses before 3. I have no idea how you're not getting in range in one turn without that, especially with the massive overabundance of movement-boosting skills and items available. The EX bonus is basically worthless while +10 will means everyone is basically spamming their best stuff from the getgo.

Its good! I agree with Caphi that it is just real nice and sweet, especially compared to the overwrought Z3. I liked it! Yamato did like 500k damage in a single turn on the final stage just map attacking everything over and over with resupplies keeping them topped up. Ended up highest level at 76 but still 1 bop behind Ryoma.

The EX bonus is basically worthless while +10 will means everyone is basically spamming their best stuff from the getgo. Yeah you can get into range very easily without the EX bonus, which also only gives you the +2 movement on dudes that are Great Aced, so before that point you have a lot of people with 1 Ex point so by the time they have 2 they're already in the thick of it and don't need the boost anymore (but are 1 step closer to multi action). Or you could have them with +10 focus which puts them a single rouse cast of their super modes for the people that have them. I'm not sure "if you have 10 less focus your supermodes won't be active so you'll get hit and get more focus" is a good argument when you could just have more focus and its not as if characters stop gaining focus for those said same actions. Different strokes for different folks, but +10 Focus is the easiest and least complicated while also being really powerful (probably the most powerful, definitely the most boring) and is certainly the most powerful at early stages when you won't have anyone Great Aced for the boost so if you're going to be not getting to enemies till turn 2 you might as well meet them at turn 2 10% stronger instead of +1 EX point. Caphi posted:The second late Earth route with all the Mazinger is the first time I've considered throwing an SR point. That one was close for me too, I think that was the only one where I absolutely needed to the full allowance.

Because I'm on stage 13 and the Brave Express crew has grown on me very quickly I feel like I'm going to do the Japan route. I know the second requirement for the secret scenario is that Maito solos the ace guy on 17, but I can't remember the requirement on 15, anyone remember? The google doc is horribly, horribly vague.

Unless they changed it in V, Morale bonuses hasn't been a straight multiplier since Alpha Gaiden. It works by adding to your attack stat (or defense stat), which means roughly 0.4% increase per point of Morale, a bit less as your attack stat approaches the extremes. So looking at nothing else except its effect on boosting your damage from the start, +10 starting Morale is really more like a 4% increase rather than 10%.

I don't think I've ever done that, usually I don't have enough trouble getting people to a place in time and ironically the few missions I can think of where it's an issue are ones where the carrier isn't available because they tend to gimmick harder because of that.

It was an early mission before a lot of the cool poo poo opened up and the time limit seemed really strict. After a while though you're swimming in movement parts/bonuses so it feels super unnecessary.

Assuming I'm not actively trying to ace as many pilots as possible, I prefer to make one of my favorite pilots a god, load them up with movement and range parts, and throw them into the center of a big group of enemies and have them counter them to death. Of course that only really works for dodgy reals, the damage tends to add up for supers. And of course a boss can gently caress up that strategy nicely so

Is there a "how to SRW" guide somewhere? I dusted off my GBA to play SRW OG to learn these games, and I've gotten to level 17 where if anyone on my side dies it's game over. All my robots can be two shotted by just about any enemy, and it takes at least three attacks to kill even the weakest enemy. I think I'm underleveled, or upgraded incorrectly, or am not using Spirits right since my people run out of energy after one or two uses. All the FAQs I find say it's a great easy level to make mad bank on, but they're much better than I am.
