Closing in on the endgame, mission 39. Crystal Dragoon spawns in and slowly comes at me. I dont move and skip two turns. He pulls back and summons Lamalice. I skip a turn and they all fuse, Debuduebduebdu appears and pulls everyone out. Mission over.

I literally didnt even move.

Man, these final bosses spamming Iron Wall multiple times is really not fun!

E: doing new game + now, it says it carries over "AP", what's that?

EX Hard blocks all upgrades of any kind, but I assume you just mean SR Point hard mode.

50% of all earned PP, AP, Money and also full kill counts.

I feel dumb that, just about 40 missions in, I have yet to use Maximum Break once. Or even understand it.

The tutorial was... Not particularly articulate on the subject, to be fair.

Two squads next to each other, all on the same plane (all in the air, all on the ground, etc), havent used their turn, and all need 140+ Will. People with MB activiate skill (Squad leaders like Irm, Katina, Kai, Viletta, Kyosuke have it natively) when attacking, can use "Maximum Break" instead of "Focus Attack"

Note that it also costs will to use, unless the pilot starting the attack is an aced Aya.

Specifically, all four units lose 10 will.

I'd say they main problem here, that you didnt have in OG2, is that you have enough supers to basically fill out a team, all the main slots at least. Why use a slow rear end real robot with a little armor when you can just go the whole way and get the invincibility and firepower of a super robot?

ImpAtom posted:

Because most of the 'real robots' hit as hard as a super robot but instead of tanking attacks just avoid the damage entirely. I mean Calvina alone is probably one of the singularly most broken units in the game.

The line between Real and Super in MD is rail-thin anyway.

I meant the 'Burg specifically, not all reals.

I used Raid and Accel (well, Quicken, but it's still Accel to me) and I still didn't make it quite in time. It doesn't help that Rai just ain't that fast, even when paired with someone faster.

If you keep items in NG+, I could definitely do it then, though. I'd only need a couple Boosters, one for each member of the team.

You dont. Special mode give you 1 of everything though.

BlitzBlast posted:

To put it in perspective how ridiculous the Bellzelute Brigandi is, the Bellzelute's singular P attack is a base 3500 damage 10 ammo attack. The Bellzelute Brigandi has two P attacks, and the stronger one is a 1-3 ALL with base 4600 damage and no ammo requirements whatsoever. It only needs 105 Will to be accessible too, it's just crazy.

Meanwhile poor Dracodeus just gets like, +300 damage to everything. It doesn't even get its finisher until the third to last stage. Cybuster and Granzon are a similar hilariously unbalanced comparison, though at least there's a plot reason for that.

Throw in the rather questionable Ace bonus decisions, and honestly I'd say the unit balance in this game is pretty wacky.

EDIT: Oh, and as a sidenote: 4600 was the base damage of the vanilla Bellzelute's finisher.

Granzon/Cybuster is especially funny since Shu acts like the defacto leader of the MK dudes and even has the MB activate skill.

I think Z let you press Square on the counterattack screen to bring up your attack choices but MD doesnt. That was really handy.

KoB

They also ditch the skip animation button. Some games let you press square to skip the current attack animation to jump to the other.

I wish they'd get the different teams on the same page.

I don't think I've seen Yuuki and Carla talk to each other lately. They're nominally an Alpha pair but they're just sort of there, and so are their default robots, for that matter.

Actually, I feel like I haven't seen Yuuki talk much lately, period. Carla at least hangs out in the mess with the other grunt-kids sometimes. You'd think he'd at least show up to offer someone some tea.

He makes a few tea references :shrug:

Touma was just there in @3, but in OG he's worse because his existent plot was "bums around the ship and harasses Minaki until she just gives him her dad's robot."
