Prologue

• Use Town Watchmen to kill the 3 scouts

Chapter 1

• Use Alicia to grenade the Leader
• Take Welkin to the end

Chapter 2

• Use a Town Watchmen to kill both the command scouts (NE near where Welkin arrives and NW behind the rubble)
• Wait for Welkin
• When Welkin shows up use him to kill the tank

HQ 1

• In Command Room select the following

  • Nancy or Wavy (Scouts)
  • 4 Shock Troopers (at least 3 of them male)
  • Fill the roster from the bottom of the list up
  • Ensure you have least Yoko or Theold (ideally both)

• In Training Field level up the following:

  • Scouts to level 2
  • Lancers to level 3
  • Engineers to level 3
  • Your totals should be 2/1/3/3/1

• In R&D research the following:

  • Rifle lvl 1
  • Uniform lvl 1

Chapter 3

• Deploy a Shocktrooper (be wary of Alex has he can trigger a potential) in the western most spot
• Run to the enemy base going OVER the sand bags to ensure distance is maximised
• Grenade Command Shocktrooper out of base and kill regular one

Chapter 4

• Deploy an engineer
• Use defense boost on engineer and run to the destroyable wall ahead
• Destroy the wall with grenade and bait the shocktrooper behind it into blowing up the explosive barrel
• Get to base healing yourself on the way
• Use the last 2 turns to grenade the two enemies out

Chapter 5

• Deploy 3 leaders in the northern base (can deploy the other scout too for speed sakes)
• Defense Boost Alicia
• Run Alicia all the way to enemy base's rear entrance
• Run straight across the base courtyard and use grenade to blow up crates
• Move towards target camp whilst Shooting commander scout (you need 10/15 shots to hit)
• Headshot the 2 elite shocktroopers whilst moving towards base
• Movement is really tight here so be careful

Chapter 6

• Deploy Alicia
• Defense Boost Alicia
• Run Alicia in a beeline towards base, healing as necessary
• Try to run directly between the 2 tanks
• Grenade the shocktrooper out of the base

HQ 2

• If you didn't get Yoko or Theold then go grab them

• In Training Field level up the following:

  • Scouts to level 7
  • Shocktroopers to level 4
  • Lancers to level 8
  • Snipers to level 3
  • Your totals should be 7/4/8/3/3

• In R&D research the following:

  • Rifle lvl 2 & 3
  • Mags lvl 1 & 2
  • Lancaar lvl 1 (NOT 2)
  • Sniper lvl 1 (I like to get 2 as well for a potential end game proc)
  • Uniform lvl 2 & 3
  • All 3 Left and the Central upgrade in Body Enhancements for tank
  • All 3 Attack Support upgrades for tank (equip them all as well)

Chapter 7

• Deploy Shocktrooper, Largo and Yoko and/or Theold and an engineer
• Run Shocktrooper up ramp and kill all enemy troops (double kill is possible)
• Ensure shocktrooper is out of the way
• Move relevant troops behind the wall between the trench and the Batomys
• Wait until the tank's engines are exposed
• Use Demolition Boost on Welkin
• Have Welkin use first Mortar shell and aim at the top of the ladder (best to use video for spot)
• Have Largo run behind the Batomys and run around the base/up and down ladder until Tank Slayer procs
• Fire 1 shot at the engine on the back
• Repeat this process twice on the engine on the Batomys' right side
• Have Yoko (or Theold if no Yoko) repeat this process (1 at back and 2 on left side)
• Have Welkin fire second mortar in the same manner
• You now need 5 Tank Slayer shots on the Batomys' body to destroy it
• You will probably need your Engineer to restock 1 or 2 of your lancers (depending on initial deployment)
• If Theold has his Anti-Armour boost AND Tank Slayer on 1 of his shots you don't need to restock and can use Welkin instead of 2 Tank Slayer shots

Chapter 8a

• Turn 1

  • Move Alicia up the path and kill command scout
  • Move Alicia further up the path and stand behind the second last tree on the embankment (see video)
  • Move Welkin up hidden path to the right and as you run just past the flower you can activate it to heal Alicia. Afterwards run Welkin to bridge

• Turn 2

  • Move Welkin across the bridge and follow the path west dodging 2 security lights. You should end up just next to another flower
  • Move Welkin forward dodging the light and using LOS to avoid the named shocktrooper. Kill the scout (grenade is the standard), turn around and head down the firefly path.
  • Move Alicia across the bridge taking advantage of a grenade boost and then retrace Welkin's steps
  • Important to note that getting seen by certain searchlights can ruin the mission

• Due to the risk here safety saves are definitely worthwhile

Chapter 9

• Deploy shocktrooper to the north and then all the leaders
• Demolition Boost shocktrooper and move him forward towards the APC but use the big box for cover
