SUPER ROBOT TAISEN W WALKTHROUGH/FAQ by yangxu ([email protected]) ================= TABLE OF CONTENTS ================= 1. Introduction 2. Version History 3. Walkthrough 4. Skill/Item Lists 5. Secrets 6. FAQ 7. Acknowledgement 8. Legal Terms =============== 1. INTRODUCTION =============== The Super Robot series is a long running turn based RPG game that can be tracked all the way back to the late 80s. It spans practically every game console to date, and features tons of famous Japanese Robot animes fans enjoy over the last three decades. Unfortunately, due to licensing issues and copyright agreements of different animes here in the west, average gamers cannot enjoy a fully translated English version of the game. This FAQ/Walkthrough is written to help those who have some very basic knowledge of the Japanese language in order to get through certain missions. I cannot guarantee a non-spoiler FAQ as later chapters may feature unexpected characters. Therefore, to reduce the risk of being spoiled, I suggest reading only the specific chapter you are currently playing. Super Robot Taisen W is the first Nintendo DS Super Robot game. It has similar graphics as the Game Boy Advanced's Super Robot Taisen J, but with more detailed robot animations, higher quality soundtracks, new mecha anime series and touch screen features (which is kind of useless if I do say so myself). One of the major improvements in SRTW is the finishing move animation, which is a first in the series where certain attacks demos will show extra scenes if player's unit is able to kill the target successfully. Overall, this is a great start for the Super Robot franchise on the NDS, definitely pick it up if you are a true robot fan. ================== 2.

Rest assured, I will finish this and the other FAQs I've written, but it'll take a while. JaveChen has done a fabulous job continuing where I left off, bravos to him! Please refer to his guide as well as other people's works for information unavailable on mine. ============== 3. WALKTHROUGH ============== A few words before you start reading... I know the seishins (spirits) in this game are translated differently in the localized versions of Original Generations, but I'm going to stick to the official words. Please do not complain about why isn't HOTBLOOD included, and why is FLASH written as ALERT. I have a full list of seishins with their corresponding effects at the end of the walkthrough, if you aren't sure what each one does, please refer to that instead. Do note that there are some new spirits added in for this particular game, and no official translation is (or ever will be) out, for those ones, I'll translate directly from Japanese. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 1: SAIL IN THE SEA OF OUTER SPACE ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valhawk (Kazuma) Valstork (Blessfield) Enemy Units (Initial): Taurus Moebius x2 Delphinium x2 You start with Kazuma and his old man facing against some grunts. This should be a breeze, it's a warm up stage for you to get used to the command interface. Have Kazume cast FOCUS and roar through the pathetic grunts. When you destroyed all 6 enemies, the next batch shows up. Enemy Reinforcements: Eido x6 Ally Reinforcements: Gundam Deathscythe Hell (Duo) Gundam Sandrock Kai (Quatre) Oh look! It's the Wing Boyz... these two will be your slayers for the next few stages, so start building their levels up. The stage ends if you destroy the enemy reinforcements. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 2: THE WHITE IRON KNIGHTS ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) Blue Earth (Noel) Enemy Units (Initial): Radam Beast x5 Again, another warm up stage. Use the same strategy as last time, cast FOCUS on D-Boy, and he'll be invincible. Destroying the first 5 Radams will cause 21 more to appear. Enemy Reinforcements: Radam Beast x21 Ally Reinforcements: Detonator Orgun (Orgun) Valhawk (Kazuma) Valstork (Blessfield) Note that Orgun is not under your control, if you want the money and exp, kill as many as you can before Orgun wipes them all out. The stage ends when every Radam Beast has been eliminated. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 3: MISSION - COMMAND: NADESICO DESTRUCTION ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Nadesico (Yurika) Aestivalis Akito OG Frame (Akito) Aestivalis Gai OG Frame (Gai) Enemy Units (Initial): Delphinium x6 Moebius x8 If anyone on your side is shot down, it's game over for you. You know what to do now, right? Cast FOCUS on Akito and let him take care of everything. Yurika and Gai should act as backups. If Nadesico's being targeted, defend, try not to fight back if its HP's halved. Enemy reinforcements will show up when you've depleted their numbers to 7 or less. Enemy Reinforcements: Batta x12 Katonbo x3 Ally Reinforcements: Aestivalis Ryoko OG Frame (Ryoko) Aestivalis Hikaru OG Frame (Hikaru) Aestivalis Izumi OG Frame (Izumi) Valhawk (Kazuma) Valstork (Blessfield) Player's Choice x4 Moebius Zero (Mu) Don't bother using Mu, he won't be joining you until much later in the game. Depending on your taste of characters, you might be investing experience on those Aestivalis units. I personally don't use them as none of them can deal tremendous amount of damage in the future at max upgrades. You can keep training Akito though, for he gets a better machine eventually. Again, cast FOCUS and see your foes go down one by one. The Katonbos have higher HPs than others, so they may pose more of a challenge relatively speaking. The stage ends when you clear the map. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 4: SCATTERED HOPE ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Blue Earth (Aki) Enemy Units (Initial): Radam Beast x12 Ignore the enemy for one turn, since Blue Earth is more of a backup unit, avoid engaging in combat. The way this unit gains experience is through repairing and refilling other ally units. On turn 2, ally reinforcements appear. Ally Reinforcements: Taurus (Noin) Birdman (Yoko) That's some reinforcements alright... Well at least Noin's unit can repair, too. As usual, cast FOCUS on your characters and stay strong. Kill around 4 Radams and an event will unfold. Orgun comes and goes, and you'll be greeted by more enemy troops. Of course, Tekkaman Blade and protagonist's family jump right in the scene to back you up. Enemy Reinforcements: Tekkaman Dagger (Dagger) Radam Beast x10 Ally Reinfocements: Valhawk (Kazuma) Valstork (Blessfield) Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) Player's Choice x2 ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Destroy Tekkaman Dagger| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | D-Boy shot down | ------------------------------------------ Now that your main force arrives, you shouldn't be struggling with the current numbers of enemies anymore. Cast STRIKE on any character that has this spirit and take out Dagger. Oh, for the unit that deals the final blow to Dagger, be sure to cast CHEER and BLESS on it if you have enough SP left, it'll give 2x money and exp to him/her. The stage ends when you take out Dagger. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 5: BIZARRENESS OF THE MECHA WORLD AND ITS ROBOTS ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy EI-02 | |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): VolFogg (VolFogg) M9 Gernsback (Kurz) M9 Gernsback (Mao) Enemy Units (Initial): EI-02 Birdman x3 M6 Bushnell x5 VolFogg is strong, train it well and it'll become a butcher later on. As for the two Full Metal Panic units, I don't find them useful, the pilots are great, but their machines suck. There are just too many great mechas in this game, I highly doubt anyone would use the M9s to deal massive damages on enemies with thick armors and high HPs later into the game. Anyway, Gai will jump in on turn 3, so wait for him before you take on EI-02. Ally Reinforcements: GaoGaiGar (Gai) Enryuu (Enryuu) Hyouryuu (Hyouryuu) Cast ALERT on VolFogg and RESIST on Gai and pound away. Taking care of EI-02 would cause more enemy reinforcements to appear in the next 2 turns. But fear not, more ally reinforcements show up right after them. Enemy Reinforcements: FIRST TURN Metal Beast Twin Head x4 SECOND TURN Metal Beast Skull x6 Metal Beast Twin Head x2 Floating Fortress Gale (Ashura) Ally Reinforcements: FIRST TURN Mazinger Z (Kouji) Great Mazinger (Tetsuya) Aphrodite A (Sayaka) SECOND TURN Valhawk (Kazuma) Valstork (Blessfield) Player's Choice x5 -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy Gale | |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- With all these reinforcements, there's no way for you to lose. Repair any damaged units with Aphrodite A, or send them back on Valstork. Sometime later, Ashura will pull off some cheap trick to make Kouji turn against you. -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy Mazinger | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | Gale Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Due to its high defense, Mazinger Z could pose a threat to your Real Robot teams. Cast FOCUS or ALERT just in case and shoot it down with a character that needs some level gaining, don't forget to cast BLESS (both Quatre and Sayaka have it), CHEER (Mihiro), etc. Wipe out the remaining enemies and the stage'll be cleared. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 6: GGG AT THE BRINK OF CRISIS ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Enryuu (Enryuu) Hyouryuu (Hyouryuu) Enemy Units (Initial): Radam Beast x9 Move your robots away from the enemy and end your turn. Reinforcements arrive on turn 2. Ally Reinforcements: M9 Gernsback (Mao) M9 Gernsback (Kurz) Valstork (Blessfield) Player's Choice x4 Start raving through the Radams, it shouldn't be difficult. When you have destroyed them all, more zakos show up along with two bosses and more ally reinforcements join the party. Enemy Reinforcements: Tekkaman Dagger (Dagger) Radam Beast x9 EI-15 Taurus x2 M6 Bushnell x2 Birdman x2 Metal Beast Skull x2 Metal Beast Twin Head x2 Ally Reinforcements: Valhawk (Kazuma) VolFogg (VolFogg) GaoGaiGar (Gai) Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Destroy Tekkaman Dagger| | Destroy EI-15 | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | GaoGaiGar Destroyed | ------------------------------------------ Tekkaman's now riding on Pegas, which makes him even more agile. Train him for sure, as he'll become one of the best frontline fighters you can get. Take care of Dagger first, then concentrate your fires on EI- 15. Duo and D-Boy are your top choices against Dagger, FOCUS makes them close to invincible. The GGG team can go against EI-15 if you are desperate, just make sure you cast RESIST on them. As usual, those dealing the final blows should receive CHEER and BLESS for double the exp and money. This should become a habit/tradition by now, so I won't be reminding you guys anymore :) ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 7: "GREET AND FAREWELL" TO THE RED STAR ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (initial): Nadesico (Yurika) Aestivalis Akito Air Combat Frame (Akito) Aestivalis Gai Air Combat Frame (Gai) Aestivalis Ryoko Ground Combat Frame (Ryoko) Aestivalis Hikaru Ground Combat Frame (Hikaru) Aestivalis Izumi Ground Combat Frame (Izumi) Enemy Units (Initial): Batta x8 Katonbo x4 Cast FOCUS on everyone and take out these annoying flies. You may want to place your Aestivalis units around Nadesico to maximize the use of attack/defense supports. When enemy targets Nadesico, defend, this pretty much negates all incoming attacks. When you destroy six foes, the next wave appears. Enemy Reinforcements: Batta x4 Katonbo x2 Ally Reinforcements: GoLion (Akira) GoLion!!...or Voltron... Anyway, with this giant robot's entrance, you can wreck havoc against the remaining units EXCEPT, after taking out two baddies, Deathblack Beastmen appear. Taking out two more makes a whole screen of enemies emerge, but they are for story purposes. After a touching scene, the chapter ends. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 8: OKINAWA'S HOTTEST DAY ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Mike Sounders XIII (Mike) Bonta-kun (Bonta-kun) Enemy Units (Initial): Birdman x3 M6 Bushnell x3 Try shooting down everything with just Bonta-kun, Mike can repair and refill if needed. Save often just in case Bonta-kun got shot down. On turn 2, ally reinforcements arrive. Ally Reinforcements: M9 Gernsback (Mao) M9 Gernsback (Kurz) Big VolFogg (VolFogg) When the first group of enemies is cleared, EI-13 shows up followed by an event. After that, more ally and enemy reinforcements. Ally Reinforcements: Valhawk (Kazuma) Valstork (Blessfield) GaoGaiGar (Gai) M9 Gernsback (Sousuke) Tuatha de Daanan (Tessa) Player's Choice x7 Enemy Reinforcements: FIRST TURN EI-13 Metal Beast Skull x3 Metal Beast Twin Head x2 Birdman x5 M6 Bushnell x3 SECOND TURN RK-92 Savage x6 C3-5 Mistral II x3 ------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy EI-13 | |Losing Condition: Tuatha de Daana Destroyed| | GaoGaiGar Destroyed | | M9 Gernsback Destroyed | ------------------------------------------- Now that's what I call war. And you gotta love Tessa's ship... too bad it's only adapted to marine environment, imagine White Base having weapons with that kind of range. Take out the pawns first with whoever you prefer, then direct everything at EI-13. Some event after shooting down EI-13 and the chapter concludes. Half way through the dialogues, you get to pick routes you plan to follow: 9A. Nadesico Route [Nadesico, Tekkaman Blade] 9B. Hijack Plane Route [Gundam W, FMP, GGG] ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 9A: THE WORST CALAMATOUS CHOICE ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Nadesico (Yurika) Aestivalis Akito Artillary Frame (Akito) Aestivalis Ryoko OG Frame (Ryoko) Aestivalis Hikaru OG Frame (Hikaru) Aestivalis Izumi OG Frame (Izumi) GoLion (Akira) Enemy Units (Initial): Batta x9 Katonbo x2 When the battle commences, Akito's Will drops by 20, making him an easy target for foes. Cast FOCUS on Akito try attacking an enemy, this will trigger an event, followed by ally reinforcements. Ally Reinforcements: Gai Custom GINN (Gai) Aestivalis Akatsuki OG Frame (Akatsuki) After some dialogues, Akito gains 40 Will. Now you should start your counterattacks. Don't bother using Gai as he won't be joining the crew any time soon. Instead focus on leveling up Akito, Akira and Ryoko. When you shoot down the remaining enemies, Valstork appears. Ally Reinforcements: Valstork (Blessfield) Player's Choice x3 Enemy Reinforcements: Deathblack Beastman Galsha x2 Deathblack Beastman Death Hell x2 Galra Empire Fighter Jet x8 Galra Empire Flagship (Commander Sadack) --------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | --------------------------------------- FOCUS, RESIST, ALERT, etc. cast these on your characters and charge. But make sure you set up your formation such that you can freely use attack/defense support. Nadesico and Valstork should follow your units closely to provide evasion boosts and EN refill (Nadesico to Aestivalis only). A turn later, more enemies arrive, Orgun also shows up to steal some kills from you. Enemy Reinforcements: Deathblack Beastman Galsha Deathblack Beastman Death Hell Galra Empire Fighter Jet x4 Ally Reinforcements: Detonator Orgun (Orgun) Enemy flagship retreats when Orgun shows up. Now it's just a battle against grunts. Orgun's still not under your control, don't let him steal too many kills from you. Attack actively, and the stage will be over in no time. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 9B: FIGHT! GIRLS AND BOYS ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Gundam Wing Zero (Heero) Enemy Units (Initial): RK-92 Savage x3 C3-5 Mistral II The all-time favorite Wing Zero and its invincible pilot Heero Yuy. Yup, what more do I need to say? If you stay on top of buildings or similar terrains, you receive HP/EN regeneration and attack/defense boosts. So stick around near where you started off and destroy these worms. Killing either the C3-5 Mistral II or waiting for your second turn to end would cause more enemies to appear. To make your life "easier", Mike Sounders XIII B joins the ally's side. Enemy Reinforcements: RK-92 Savage x3 Ally Reinforcements: Mike Sounders XIII B Mike is more of a backup unit, its defense and evasion are crappy, so careless placement on this map would get him killed, which also means game over for you. If your Wing Zero doesn't need repair or refill, move Mike further to the left of the map. Heero alone is more than enough to handle everything, but if you insist on putting Mike to the frontlines, cast RESIST on him before exposing him to dangers. When there's just one enemy left on the map, or when you've reached the third turn, you'll be greeted with yet another group of Savages and Mistral. Enemy Reinforcements: RK-92 Savage x3 C3-5 Mistral II Ally Reinforcements: M9 Gernsback (Sousuke) M9 Gernsback (Mao) M9 Gernsback (Kurz) Full Metal Panic! units will make their entrance on the next turn, but Kurz is immobile due to story purposes. Use Mao and Sousuke to clear the zakos if Heero's level is too high. When you do, another wave of enemies starts pouring in. Enemy Reinforcements: RK-92 Savage x3 C3-5 Mistral II x2 Plan-1056 Codarl (Gauron) Ally Reinforcements: Valstork (Blessfield) Player's Choice x8 At the start of your next turn, Valstork arrives. Deploy your units, and place them around Gauron (utilize attack/defense supports well). You probably have noticed that this cheap boss acts twice per turn, so be well prepared. Don't be greedy on casting the necessary spirits, you don't want a game over when you've come this far. There are some story sequences if you successfully damaged Gauron. And in case you're wondering why Wing Zero is here to begin with, here's the reason: Enemy Reinforcements: Altron Gundam (Wufei) Serpent (Trowa) Serpent x11 ----------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy Plan-1056 Codarl | |Losing Condition: Gundam Wing Zero Destroyed | | M9 Gernsback (Kurz) Destroyed| ----------------------------------------------- Ahh... The same old story of Endless Waltz. These people appear after the above incident. Trowa's not an immediate threat, and Wufei only attacks Heero. The Serpent units, however, are scrambling. Keep an eye on Kurz, since he can't move. He can, however, snipe with his long range weapons. In about two turns, Sousuke will come with his Lambda Driver activated Arbalest. It's still not enough to single handedly take on the Codarl. Make sure to use the terrain effect to the fullest. Ally Reinforcements: ARX-7 Arbalest (Sousuke) ----------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy Plan-1056 Codarl | |Losing Condition: Gundam Wing Zero Destroyed | | M9 Gernsback (Kurz) Destroyed| | ARX-7 Arbalest Destroyed | ----------------------------------------------- This chapter has some tough bosses, planning out your unit's location is critical; and remember to save often. Take out Wufei first to get some good exp and cash. The chapter ends if you blow up the Codarl. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 10: THE RED AND WHITE DEVILS ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Nadesico (Yurika) Aestivalis Akito Artillery Frame (Akito) Aestivalis Akatsuki Artillery Frame (Akatsuki) Aestivalis Ryoko Artillery Frame (Ryoko) Aestivalis Hikaru Artillery Frame (Hikaru) Aestivalis Izumi Artillery Frame (Izumi) Sol Tekkaman Unit 1 (Balzack) Fuuryuu (Fuuryuu) Rairyuu (Rairyuu) Moebius Zero (Mu) Birdman (Yoko) Enemy Units (Initial): Radam Beast x9 Radam Mother x3 This stage is a joke compared to 9B. The fact that your opponents are nothing but Radams makes it so. Fuuryuu and Rairyuu make their first appearances in the SRT series. They have similar attributes as Enryuu and Hyouryuu, and they can combine later on to be more powerful. You should train them if you prefer balanced units with long and short range weapons. Again, there are terrains around Rairyuu and Fuuryuu that give bonus boosts, definitely use these to your advantage. Start moving forces to the north down and pincer these Radam Beasts, be sure to have some of your stronger characters near where Rairyuu and Fuuryuu started because as soon as the first wave of enemies have been delt with, Tekkaman Evil shows up with more grunts. Enemy Reinforcements: Tekkaman Evil (Evil) Radam Beast x12 Radam Mother x4 Player Reinforcements: Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) Valstork (Blessfield) Player's Choice x5 ---------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy Tekkaman Evil| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | ---------------------------------------- Wherever your smell Evil, you'll find Blade. After some scenes, Blade arrives and the two engages in a duel. You have a turn limit here, if you can't own Evil within 5 turns, the stage's over (it's not a game over, so don't worry if you couldn't accomplish it). Blade obviously can't handle Evil by himself, you have to help out. Cast FOCUS, ALERT and all that good stuff on those who are targeting Evil, he should be gone if you manage to pull 4 hits on him. The money, exp and items are worth all the troubles you went through. Enjoy the scenes that follow and save your game. You'll be presented with another path split after some dialogues: 11A: Nadesico Route [Nadesico, Mazinkaiser, Getta Robo] 11B: Reinforce North America Route [Tekkaman Blade, GGG, Gundam W] ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 11A: COLLISION OF THE MAZINS ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Great Mazinger (Tetsuya) Aphrodite A (Sayaka) Boss Borot (Boss) Enemy Units (Initial): Metal Beast Skull x4 Metal Beast Twin Head x4 Great Mazinger is an above average unit, it has several combination attacks with Mazinkaiser, so if you plan to deploy both for later half of the game, you should start training Tetsuya now. On turn 2, ally reinforcements arrive, followed by enemy reinforcements on turn 3. Start moving your units toward the research centre for terrain boosts. Ally Reinforcements: Nadesico (Yurika) Valstork (Blessfield) Player's Choice x10 ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Great Mazinger Destroyed| ------------------------------------------ Enemy Reinforcements: Floating Fortress Gale (Ashura) Metal Beast Skull x4 Metal Beast Twin Head x4 Mazinkaiser Ally Reinforcements: Shin Getta Robo (Ryuuma) ---------------------------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Mazinkaiser's HP below 30% | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Great Mazinger Destroyed | | Shin Getta Robo Destroyed | | Mazinkaiser Reaches Photon Energy Research Lab| ---------------------------------------------------------------- If you've already placed your units around the research centre, there is very little chance for Mazinkaiser to squeeze in there. Plus, Shin Getta's there to challenge this giant, you shouldn't have any problem with it. Of course, it goes without saying that Ryuuma's worth every investment on, all of you know Shin Getta's badass ;) Let the enemies come to you, don't reach out for them, if Mazinkaiser comes near, focus your fire on it; HOWEVER, if you want infinite $$$, you better not attack Mazinkaiser. Let me explain, currently Ashura's sitting in his/her Gale, if you've already destroyed it once, you've probably noticed that its HP regenerates, meaining that you can kill it as many times as you want. For each successful destruction, you receive $6000. So screwing it over and over again would make you rich fast. For more information on this trick, please refer to the Secret section below. Now, depleting Mazinkaiser's HP down to 30% will trigger some events followed by more enemy and ally reinforcements. Enemy Reinforcements: Deathblack Beastman Galsha x2 Deathblack Beastman Death Hell x2 Galra Empire Fighter Jet x8 Galra Empire Flagship Ashura Mazinkaiser (Ashura) Ally Reinforcements: Mazinkaiser (Kouji) ---------------------------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Ashura Mazinkaiser Destroyed | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Mazinkaiserer Destroyed | ---------------------------------------------------------------- Nothing much to say except if you want to end the stage early, just blow up Ashura. Otherwise, stay on the research facility terrain and engage the enemies passively. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 11B: THE HEART'S DESIRE ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ ---------------------------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Enryuu, Hyouryuu, Rairyuu or Fuuryuu Destroyed| | Sol Tekkaman Unit 1 Destroyed | ---------------------------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Sol Tekkaman Unit 1 (Balzack) Enryuu (Enryuu) Rairyuu (Rairyuu) Hyouryuu (Hyouryuu) Fuuryuu (Fuuryuu) Valstork (Blessfield) Player's Choice x5 Enemy Units (Initial): Radam Beast x18 Radam Mother x6 Start rushing the Radams. Be sure to cast FOCUS, ALERT and RESIST on your characters. Fuuryuu, Rairyuu and Noel are isolated to the south, but the terrains near them provide important boosts, don't let them go to waste! Player and enemy reinforcements arrive on turn 2. Enemy Reinforcements: Tekkaman Evil (Evil) Ally Reinforcements: Sol Tekkaman Unit 2 (Noel) Ignore them, do whatever you were doing a moment ago. Orgun comes in on turn 3, who's still uncontrollable. Ally Reinforcements: Detonator Orgun (Orgun) When you reach turn 5, more ally and enemy reinforcements appear. Enemy Reinforcements: EI-21 (Pizza) Ally Reinforcements: Gundam Deathscythe (Duo) Gundam Wing Zero (Heero) GaoGaiGar (Gai) Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) ---------------------------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy Tekkaman Evil | | Destroy EI-21 | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Enryuu, Hyouryuu, Rairyuu or Fuuryuu Destroyed| ---------------------------------------------------------------- After a few scenes, you'll have control over some overpowered units. Gai and his team can take care of EI-21. Heero, Duo, Kazuma and D-Boy should deal with Evil. There really is no strategy here, it's pretty much swarm tactic with spirit spams. Do watch out for Evil's Map, it's not accurate at all, but if it does land on your unit, you're toast. The best way is to surround him such that you can reduce the number of units filling the spots for his Map. Since the mission ends if you fry Pizza, you should finish Evil first for his money, exp and parts. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 12: DELIVERY FAILURE - WOW-CRY ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Bonta-kun (Sousuke) Mass Produced Bonta-kun x5 Enemy Units (Initial): Metal Beast Twin Head Metal Beast Skull BONTA-KUN!!!! Is he a mouse or a bear? And who's controlling those mass produced ones? Anyway, Bonta-kun's evasion is superb, but his HP is... Cast RESIST on everyone just in case, its effect doesn't wear off till the unit is hit. Fumoffu (Kill) the enemy units will make more pop up. Enemy Reinforcements: Deathblack Beastman Galsha Deathblack Beastman Death Hell Galra Empire Fighter Jet x6 Ally Reinforcements: GaoGaiGar (Gai) GoLion (Akira) That's it for enemy reinforcements, try killing everything with Bonta, whether that'll have an impact on obtaining Bonta-kun later on is still unknown, but just to be sure... The stage settles when you clear this map. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 13: "SECRET ALBEIT" IS DANGEROUSLY SWEET ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy Nadesico | |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valhawk (Kazuma) Aestivalis Akito OG Frame (Akito) GoLion (Akira) ARX-7 Arbalest (Sousuke) M9 Gernsback (Kurz) Mazinkaiser (Kouji) Boss Borot (Boss) Gundam Deathscythe Hell (Duo) Enemy Units (Initial): Nadesico Aestivalis Akito Artillery Frame x2 Aestivalis Akito OG Frame x6 Since the Aestivalis units have fairly high evasions, you should cast STRIKE, FOCUS and ALERT on your characters. Nadesico based units all have distortion fields, therefore weapons with higher attack powers should be your priorities. Nadesico itself is fairly easy to take down, I'm sure you can come up with your own scheme to bring her down. A second wave of enemies comes in when you shoot down Nadesico, player reinforcements also arrive. Enemy Reinforcements: Moebius x2 Birdman x2 RK-92 Savage x2 Metal Beast Twin Head x2 Metal Beast Skull x2 Taurus x2 Serpent x2 Delphinium x2 C3-5 Mistral II x2 Ally Reinforcements: Nadesico (Yurika) Player's Choice x11 -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| -------------------------------------- Just a bunch of zako reinforcements, no need to worry about your unit being shot down to result a game over screen anymore, go all out and finish clean the mess up! ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 14: WHO'S SAKE IS THIS LIFE FOR? ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Venus A (Sayaka) Tuatha de Daanan (Tessa) Enemy Units (Initial): Metal Beast Twin Head x3 Metal Beast Skull x3 Deathblack Beastman Death Hell x6 Deathblack Beastman Galsha x3 Galra Empire Fighter Jet x3 Underwater Fortress Bude (Ashura) Other than Ashura, all other pawns are just there for money and exp gains. Sayaka has GUARD, so casting that would help a ton, Tessa's ship can also snipe from 15 blocks away. You can choose to run and wait till turn 3 or you can cut enemy numbers to 14, eitherway, ally reinforcements will appear: Ally Reinforcements: Valstork (Blessfield) Nadesico (Yurika) Player's Choice x15 -------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Tuatha de Daanan Destroyed| -------------------------------------------- Want a challenge? Try taking out every enemy under a turn just for fun. A turn later, GoLion and something else show up: Ally Reinforcements: GoLion (Akira) Enemy Reinforcements: Metal Demon Drago -------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Tuatha de Daanan Destroyed| | GoLion Destroyed | -------------------------------------------- Personally, I do not think GoLion alone can handle this thing, send someone like D-Boy or Kazuma to help out. Sayaka's repair ability's handy here, plus she can earn some next exp while doing that. If you deployed Duo and Kouji, leave Ashura to them. The rest of your team can back up GoLion if needed. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 15: BOND OF FIVE COLORS, THE GOLDEN COURAGE ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ --------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | --------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Blessfield) Nadesico (Yurika) Player's Choice x15 Enemy Units (Initial): Radam Beast x12 Radam Mother x4 No challenge here right? Just rush in and take out 8 of them for the next wave to show up, be sure to cast FOCUS and ALERT just in case: Enemy Reinforcements: Tekkaman Sword (Sword) Tekkaman Axe (Axe) Tekkaman Lance (Lance) EI-15 Taurus x3 M6 Bushnell x3 Metal Beast Twin Head x3 Metal Beast Skull x3 C3-5 Mistral II x3 Ally Reinforcements: GaoGaiGar (Gai) --------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy EI-15 | |Losing Condition: GaoGaiGar Destroyed | | Radam Destroyed EI-15| --------------------------------------- The enemies receive what, like 20 new units? Yet you only get Gai... Fortunately those following EI-15 are not friends with the Tekkamen, you can use this opportunity to sneak up on baddies with low HPs and erase them from the map. Gai's Protector Shield should neutralize most of the attacks, so don't worry about him too much. On the fifth turn, GoLion joins your side. Ally Reinforcements: GoLion (Akira) Well, one's better than nothing. Your main concern here are the Tekkas, there are three of them and they ain't no push over. Super robots like Mazinkaiser with STRIKE casted can reduce one tekka's HP to half, use that to end their lives quickly. When you get rid of them, you can take your sweet time to torture Zonder. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 16: THE SECLUDED TWO ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Attack EI-28 & EI-29 At The Same Time| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valhawk (Kazuma) Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) Tekkaman Evil (Evil) Enemy Units (Initial): EI-28 (Poroneze) EI-29 (Primarda) Taurus x2 M6 Bushnell x2 Metal Beast Twin Head x2 Metal Beast Skull x2 C3-5 Mistral II x2 Serpent x2 Yes, you read it right, you'll need to attack both EI-28 and EI-29 on the same turn, you CANNOT destroy them, that'll give you a game over screen. Evil's only here for one stage, you can ignore him, but it's cool to see his attacks once. I assume you've dedicated enough cash to Valhawk's upgrades and it's close to invincible now. If not, cast FOCUS on all three units, then pierce through enemy lines to fulfill the mission objective. Large group of enemy reinforcements appear if you succeeded, followed by player reinforcements: Enemy Reinforcements: EI-26 (Pizza) EI-27 (Penchinon) Taurus x4 M6 Bushnell x4 Metal Beast Twin Head x4 Metal Beast Skull x4 C3-5 Mistral II x4 Serpent x4 RK-92 Savage x4 Ally Reinforcements: Valstork (Blessfield) Nadesico (Yurika) GaoGaiGar (Gai) Player's Choice x14 --------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | GaoGaiGar Destroyed | --------------------------------------- So many EIs, impressive! I suggest taking two on at a time, throw your strongest attacks at them, put a repair/refill unit near by to reduce the amount of time required to recover from excessive abuse. Don't try to conserve, cast VALOR if you need to, dealing enough damage to break their Protector Shields should be your primary concern. Make good use of attack/defense support, it could be a long battle, but the rewards are worth it. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 17: FAREWELL, BRAVE ONES! SHOWDOWN AT TOKYO! ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Destroy EI-01 | |Losing Condition: Yuusha Robots Destroyed | ------------------------------------------ Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Blessfield) Nadesico (Yurika) GaoGaiGar (Gai) Big VolFogg (Volfogg) Mike Sounders XIII (Mike) Chouryuujin (Chouryuujin) Player's Choice x13 Enemy Units (Initial): EI-01 (Pasdar) EI-02 x2 EI-11 x2 EI-13 x2 EI-15 x2 EI-21 x2 EI-26 EI-27 EI-28 EI-29 Yuusha robots pretty much refers to any unit from the GGG series, you wanna make sure that they're alive and kicking by the end of the stage. This shouldn't be hard really, their Will's at 200 and their HPs and ENs regenerate every turn, it's difficult to not win... Don't be frightened by the numbers of EIs here, they are just AIs with buffed up HPs, a few punches from Gai will pound them to pies. Ally At the end of turn 2, a third party shows up: Enemy Reinforcements: Tekkaman Evil (Evil) Radam Beast x12 Radam Mother x3 Ally Reinforcements: Detonator Orgun (Orgun) Orgun's actually helpful here, while you are busy messing around with the EIs, he can handle most of the Radams no problem. Evil will leave on turn 4, so if you want that Barrier S skill desparately, you will have to turn around and concentrate firepowers on him. Pasdar has this crazy map attack that randomly picks on a few of your units every turn by draining their HPs by half, it's annoying. It'd be smart to have some units with repair skill to balance the effects out. On turn 5, more ally reinforcements appear: Ally Reinforcements: Tekkaman Rapier (Miyuki) ???? (????) The red original robot is stylish isn't it? I love its bgm. The pilot has a thing for Mihiro, too... O__O. Anyway, ???? isn't controllable, but you can utilize her to deal extra damage on Pasdar. Don't bother using Miyuki, she's just there for story purposes. Pasdar has high HP and thick armor, it's normal if you find yourself wrestling with him for an extended period of time. Evenutally you'll emerge victorious, though. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 18: TRAGEDY OF ONE NIGHT STAND ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ --------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | --------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): valstork (Blessfield) Nadesico (Yurika) Player's Choice x15 Enemy Units (Initial): Serpent x9 M6 Bushnell x4 Birdman x4 RK-92 Savage x4 Do whatever you like with these zakos, they don't pose any threat. When their number falls below 16, boss units start pouring in: Enemy Reinforcements: Altron Gundam (Wufei) Behemoth (Takuma) Behemoth is a monster (duh...), and its pilot is retarded, too. Auto seishin every turn: GUARD + FOCUS + ZEAL... If this is still your turn, start attacking Wufei. He should be easy to push down with VALOR, otherwise, wait for your reinforcement on the next turn. Ally Reinforcements: Gundam Wing Zero (Heero) ARX-7 Arbalest (Sousuke) --------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | ARX-7 Arbalest Destroyed | --------------------------------------------- Heero and Sousuke, the fateful twins. Anyway, with their arrival, it should make this battle that much easier, eh? I don't know man. ARX-7 certainly isn't strong without its driver, you might wanna protect it before it's activated. The party's not over yet, reinforcements on both sides show up one after the other. Ally Reinforcements: Gundam Heavyarms Kai (Trowa) Enemy Reinforcements: ZY-98 Shadow (Seina) There you have it folks, everyone's here, you can start planning out your layouts now. Trowa's crappy evasion make him an easy target for others, if you plan to use him, cast GUARD first. If you haven't finished Wufei yet, do it now. Taking out Seina will make Takuma go berserk, he'll cast VALOR and STRIKE which can be dangerous. You can waste his VALOR by casting ALERT on one of your units and attack him, those without ALERT and are being targeted by him, simply defend to reduce the damage. I suggest you use all your super robots' best attacks on Behemoth, and cast VALOR to make them more powerful. It will take some time, so be patient and aggressive, don't be frustrated if you lose one or two units, the battles will only get tougher from now on. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 19: BURNING ASSULT! MAZIN VS HELL MASTER ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ There are two parts to this chapter, for simplicity, I divided them up here. PART I: --------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Mazinkaiser Destroyed | | Venus A Destroyed | --------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Blessfield) Mazinkaiser (Kouji) Venus A (Sayaka) Enemy Units (Initial): Deathblack Beastman Death Hell Deathblack Beastman Galsha Galra Empire Fighter Jet x4 Metal Beast Twin Head Metal Beast Skull Metal Demon Drago Galra Empire Flagship (Sadack) Kouji alone should be able to handle most of the units. GUARD + STRIKE will do you good. For better evasion, put him near Blessfield so he's benefitting from Blessfield's commanding zone boost. Sayaka should stay behind, use her only if you are desperate for repairs. You'll move onto the second part if you shoot down Drago, for money and exp, go after Sadack first. PART II: --------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy Bad Venus | |Losing Condition: Mazinkaiser Destroyed | --------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Mazinkaiser (Kouji) Enemy Units (Initial): Ashura Mazinger x4 Metal Demon Drago x3 Bad Venus Metal Beast Twin Head Skull MK01 Bad Venus... orz. Japanese names are amazing. If you want more units to assist you ASAP, aim for Bad Venus. It'll take some hits to bring her down, but you shouldn't suffer too much damage. Ally Reinforcements: Valstork (Blessfield) Nadesico (Yurika) Great Mazinger (Tetsuya) Mazinkaiser KS (Kouji) Tuatha de Daanan (Tessa) Player's Choice x15 Enemy Reinforcements: Bad Venus Deathblack Beastman Death Hell x3 Deathblack Beastman Galsha x3 Galra Empire Fighter Jet x4 Ashura Mazinger x4 Metal Beast Twin Head Skull MK01 x3 Metal Demon Drago x2 Galra Empire Flagship (Sadack) --------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Mazinkaiser Destroyed | | Tuatha de Daanan Destroyed | --------------------------------------------- W00t, that's a lot of units; but hey, Mazinkaiser can fly now, so what to complain? Since enemy's major pawns have crappy accuracies against real robots, I seriously doubt you'll struggle here, plus with Tessa sniping from the left side, it'll take even fewer turns to clear the map. That of course, doesn't mean the stage's over... Enemy Reinforcements: Hell Master Goudon (Ashura) Ashura Mazinger Metal Demon Twin Head Skull MK01 Metal Demon Drago --------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy Hell Master Goudon| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Mazinkaiser Destroyed | | Tuatha de Daanan Destroyed | --------------------------------------------- Ashura won't give up without a good fight, but other than its thick armor, Ashura's mecha really isn't impressive at all. You'd expect a more difficult boss fight, but... Obviously, sending real robots there to mess around for fun is your best choice, if you think 15% accuracy still can't guarantee complete evasion from Ashura's attacks, cast ALERT or RESIST for reassurance. Shoot down Goudon to end the stage. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 20: THE ACCELERATED UNIVERSE ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Fuuryuu (Fuuryuu) Rairyuu (Rairyuu) Enemy Units (Initial): Moebius x3 Serpent x3 Taurus x4 Delphinium x4 Birdman x3 See the base to the lower part of the map? That's where you should move your untis to. Try avoiding combat till all reinforcements arrive for maximum retaliation. "The wind that puts out fire" arrives on turn 2... Ally Reinforcements: Tallgeese III (Zechs) Too many Wing units... You can replace Sandrock with this if you want, since Zech's stats is almost identical to Heero's. Again, keep moving south till you reach the base. Ally Reinforcements: Valstork (Blessfield) Nadesico (Yurika) Player's Choice x14 Enemy Reinforcements: Batta x14 Katonbo x3 Tetsujin (????) Now is the time to strike back, by standing on your base. Note that if you kill Tetsujin first, everything else will retreat. For maximum exp, save the best last. Killing Tetsujin would also make a bunch of other units pop up. Ally Reinforcements: Star GaoGaiGar (Gai) King J-Der (J) Enemy Reinforcements: ZX-02 ZX-03 EI-02 x3 EI-11 x3 EI-13 x3 EI-15 x3 EI-21 x3 EI-26 EI-27 EI-28 EI-29 --------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy ZX-02, ZX-03| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | --------------------------------------- If you've been standing on your base the whole time, none of your units should suffer severe damages from prior enemy assaults. In fact, most should be at full HP and EN. However, now you might wanna change the plan a bit, because you need to get as much cash and exp as possible before "she" appears again the turn after you shoot down Tetsujin. Ally Reinforcements: ???? (????) Uncontrollable as always. Don't let her steal your kills. The best way here is to finish off any enemy with low HP, sit back, relax and watch ???? getting owned by grunts, then steal her kills XD The Origins have higher HPs, but Gai's Hell and Heaven should pierce through them no problem. Oh, and don't bother using J, he won't be joining you until a much later time. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 21: THE SENT ASSASSIN ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ Another chapter with two sessions. PART I: ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Tekkaman Axe Destroyed | |Losing Condition: Tekkaman Blade Destroyed| ------------------------------------------ Ally Units (Initial): Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) Enemy Units (Initial): Tekkaman Axe (Axe) Unless you upgraded Blade's mobility to his max, chances are you will need to cast FOCUS and RESIST to avoid random death. This shouldn't be a problem since Pegas also has its own seishins. There won't be any enemy reinforcement here, just focus on defeating Axe and watch the scenes afterwards. PART II: ------------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Origin Fusion Destroyed | |Losing Condition: GaoGaiGar Destroyed | | J-Ark Destroyed | | Valhawk or Arm Arcus Destroyed| ------------------------------------------------ Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Blessfield) Nadesico (Yurika) Valhawk (Kazuma) Arm Arcus (Aria) Star GaoGaiGar (Gai) J-Ark (J) Player's Choice x12 Enemy Units (Initial): Origin Fusion EI-02 x3 EI-11 x3 EI-13 x3 EI-15 x3 EI-21 x3 EI-26 EI-27 EI-28 EI-29 ???? has finally revealed herself: her name is Aria, her robot robot's called Arms Arcus (Thanks to Senzankou for the translation), favorite thing is Mihiro, least favorite would be Kazuma, three sizes are...... *cough* Just because she's on your side now, doesn't mean she's here forever, I'd ignore her if I were you and focus on training whoever you plan to build as your aces. The EIs are nothing new, Origin Fusion may pose some problems for real robots if you never upgraded their mobilities. The moment you lay an attack on it, enemy reinforcement appears. Enemy Reinforcements: ZX-06 ------------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: ZX-06 Destroyed | |Losing Condition: GaoGaiGar Destroyed | | J-Ark Destroyed | | Valhawk or Arm Arcus Destroyed| ------------------------------------------------ Another Origin, with more powerful attacks than grunts. Attacking it will force Akito to come out :P Ally Reinforcements: Aestivalis Akito Moon Surface Frame (AkitO) Not exactly as useful as OG Frame, but it'll do for this map, when the stage's over, be sure to change it back during the intermission screen. Leave ZX-06 to your real robots, it can't even touch them. However, if you do attack ZX-06, Radams will pop out of no where. Enemy Reinforcements: Radam Beast x6 Radam Mother x5 ADVERTISEMENT BREAK!!! Need to level some units up but wanna leave the bosses to the best of the best? The Radams are your best punching bags. Durable and numerous, you can't find a better deal than this. If you call in the next 30 minutes, we'll throw on two Radam Mothers for FREE! OK, I'll shut up now. You can focus on ZX-06 at hand, the Radams can be taken care of when they seek you out. Destroying ZX-06 will generate a scene that grants your protagonists some overpowered combination attack, which is perfect for depleting Origin Fusion's HP. Blade will also come to help you out. Ally Reinforcements: Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) ------------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Origin Fusion Destroyed | |Losing Condition: J-Ark Destroyed | | Valhawk or Arm Arcus Destroyed| ------------------------------------------------ Back to Origin Fusion again. You know what to do now, destroy it and move on with the story :) You'll be given a choice to pick the route you plan to follow again during the conversations: 22A: Investigate Martian Ruins Route: [GGG, Orgun, Tekkaman Blade] 22B: Protect Nadesico Route: [Nadesico, Gundam W, FMP] ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 22A: RETURNERS FROM THE PAST ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ --------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Gekiryuujin Destroyed| --------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Blessfield) Gekiryuujin (Gekiryuujin) Player's Choice x13 Enemy Units (Initial): Deathblack Beastman Death Hell x3 Deathblack Beastman Galsha x3 Galra Empire Fighter Jet x12 Batta x4 Katonbo x2 If you never bothered with upgrading GGG units other than Gai, keep Gekiryuujin out of enemies' weapon range. Its mobility and defense is too crappy to go against that many, not to mention that zakos tend to target the most vulnerable ally units of the bunch. Other than this, you should be able to deal with all of them under 5 turns. If you want a quick victory (for now), killing the Galra Empire pawns will do. When you cleared the map, Orgun and more zakos appear. Ally Reinforcements: Detonator Orgun (Orgun) Enemy Reinforcements: Lang Eido x13 --------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Gekiryuujin Destroyed| | Orgun Destroyed | --------------------------------------- Move Orgun away from Lang, and let your people handle him. If you deplete Lang's HP below 50%, Wrist Origin will appear, forcing Lang to retreat and more GGG units to join. Enemy Reinforcements: Wrist Origin Ally Reinforcements: Gouryuujin (Gouryuujin) Genryuujin (Genryuujin) ---------------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Gouryuujin or Genryuujin Destroyed| | Orgun Destroyed | ---------------------------------------------------- Gouryuujin and Genryuujin have a combination attack you can pull off which is very effective against Origins. Be sure to cast protective seishins before attacking it. When you blow it up, Nadesico and Akito will return and the stage'll end. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 22B: DISTANT COMRADES ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ --------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | --------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Blessfield) Player's Choice x11 Enemy Units (Initial): RK-92 Savage x2 C3-5 Mistral II x2 M6 Bushnell x2 Taurus x2 Serpent x2 Birdman x2 Delphinium x2 Screw these poor machines over however you like, on turn 3, Akito will participate with his X Aestiavlis. Ally Reinforcements: X Aestivalis (Akito) ---------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | X Aestivalis Destroyed| ---------------------------------------- His appearance doesn't make the battles any easier, instead if he gets owned, it's game over for you. Since Akito won't be available until the last two or three chapters in the second movement of the game, it's better to just let him sit on the bench for now. Killing all enemies will force out Tsukumo, Genichiro and their underlings, followed by more reinforcements on both sides. Enemy Reinforcements: Daimajin (Genichiro) Daitetsujin (Tsukumo) Tetsujin Majin Denjin Batta x10 Katonbo x2 ---------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy Daitetsujin | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | X Aestivalis Destroyed| ---------------------------------------- If you aren't too hungry for exp points, and a unit in your party can use Map, send it into the group of Battas, cast VALOR, CHEER, BLESS, STRIKE and FOCUS to clear them out quickly. With the bugs squeeshed, you can spend your sweet time on frying the larger insects. Enemy Reinforcements: Tetsujin Majin Denjin Ally Reinforcements: Nadesico Y Unit (Yurika) Gundam Deathscythe Hell (Duo) Gundam Wing Zero (Heero) ARX-7 Arbalest (Sousuke) You know you can pretty much clear the map with Heero and Duo alone. But they also throw in Sousuke and the new Nadesico ship for extra insurance. When you start battling the remaining foes, scatter your units apart as far as possible to avoid enemy Map attacks. Of course, if you can eliminite 80% of them in one turn, just ignore what I said. Genichiro and Tsukumo have high HPs, making them a little tougher to crack (not to mention they also have Distortion Fields and Boson Jump). Focus your fire one at a time, be sure to cast STRIKE to nullify the random Boson Jumps. Blow up Genichiro first for exp and money, then finish off Tsukumo to end the stage. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 23: ENDLESS WALTZ: EPILOGUE ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Gundam Wing Zero Destoryed| -------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Blessfield) Nadesico Y Unit (Yurika) Gundam Wing Zero (Heero) Player's Choice x17 Enemy Units (Initial): Taurus x14 Serpent x7 Just by reading the chapter title, Wing fans should recognize what it's all about right away. That's right, it's the story about a loli and her ojisan getting owned by a bunch of cold blooded undead supermen piloting giant mecha known as Gundams... Anyway, if you wanna level up like crazy, this is the stage to do it. As soon as turn 1 ends, Wufei arrives with his Altron Gundam. Enemy Reinforcements: Altron Gundam (Wufei) This thing's badass, watch the battle animation and you'll see why. But that's not all, IT DOESN'T DIE! You can blow him up a thousand times and Wufei can somehow fix his machine back to full health. If you seek money and exp, start attacking it now! Oh yeah, the pawns also regenerate when their numbers fall below 12. Enemy Reinforcements: Taurus x8 Serpent x4 Map them if you need. On turn 6, Wufei will retreat and the pawns will stop regenerating. Clear the remaining enemies and the stage'll end. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 24: EVERYONE'S "BY-MYSELF" ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ --------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Nadesico Reaches The Ruins| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Akito's Unit Destoryed | --------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Blessfield) Nadesico Y Unit (Yurika) Aestivalis Akito Moon Surface Frame (Akito) Player's Choice x16 Enemy Units (Initial): Daimajin (Genichiro) Daitetsujin (Saburota) Kaguratsuki (Kusakabe) Batta x4 Katonbo x2 Majin x2 Tetsujin x2 Denjin x2 Jupiter Alliance Mothership x2 This is a hard stage (relative to the previous chapters), Akito's unit is a piece of crap (again), don't bother using it unless you want to snipe from afar. The zakos are nothing unusual, but the bosses are a pain to kill. Not only do they have thick armors, high HPs, Boson Jump and Distortion Field abilities, killing Genichiro and Saburota will simply make them regenerate their HPs to full. And yes, they all have map weapons. Like the last chapter, if you seek more exp and money refills, just keep pummeling Genichiro and Saburota till you puke. Before you move Nadesico to the designated location, destroy Kusakabe's fortress if you can, since all enemy units will pull back if you complete this primary objective. Some events later, Gai and Galra beasts arrive. and everyone goes hotblooded...... (Kazuma: "Moooooeeeerooooo!!") Ally Reinforcements: Aestivalis Gai Air Combat Frame (Gai) Enemy Reinforcements: Galra Empire Flagship (Syncline) Galra Empire Mothership x2 Galra Empire Fighter Jet x2 Deathblack Beastman Death Hell x4 Deathblack Beastman Galsha x4 ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Destroy Syncline's Ship| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | ------------------------------------------ Retrieve your units and replenish their EN and HP, your motherships can stay where they are and wait for enemies to come close. You may have used up most of your seishins at this point, but who cares, a 150 Will per unit should allow you to blaze through the remaining foes. Send your super robots to deal massive damage on Syncline's ship, my Mazinkaiser took care of him under 3 hits. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 25: DECISIVE BATTLE ON JUPITER! THE SUPER GRAVITY TRAP ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Yuusha Robots Destroyed | | Tekkaman Blade Destroyed| | GoLion Destroyed | ------------------------------------------ Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Blessfield) Nadesico Y Unit (Yurika) GoLion (Akira) GaoGaiGar (Gai) Mike Sounders XIII (Mike) Gekiryuujin (Gekiryuujin) Chouryuujin (Chouryuujin) Big Valfogg (Valfogg) Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) Player's Choice x10 Enemy Units (Initial): Galra Empire Flagship (Syncline) Deathblack Beastman Death Hell x4 Deathblack Beastman Galsha x4 Galra Empire Fighter Jet x4 Galra Empire Mothership x4 Reminder: Yuusha Robots refer to GGG units. If you never bothered training any GGG unit, you can use this chance to stock a few levels on Gai and Volfogg, just make sure they don't die on you. As for the Ryuus, you can send them back to the mothership, I don't recommand using them unless they are your favorites. At the end of turn 2, some events occur and force Gai, Akira, and Blade to leave your team temporarily. None of your remaining units are able to move, but since everyone's adjacent to each other, it's much easier to use attack/defense support. You should thank Syncline for his "intelligent" plans, it makes the battle even easier than before. Gai's mandatory participation at the beGINNing of this chapter should make things really obvious to you: the Origins are going to be involved in this sooner or later; and sure enough, they show up on the third turn. Enemy Reinforcements: ZX-07 (Wrist Origin) ZX-19 ZX-16 ZX-26 ----------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Yuusha Robots Destroyed| ----------------------------------------- Cast seishin on units that you think have low evasions, Wrist Origin has some powerful weapons, but with defense support at your disposal, it should bring down the damage by 40% or more. You can retaliate or turtle, since the restriction on your units' movement is nullified on turn 6. Ally Reinforcements: GoLion (Akira) GaoGaiGar (Gai) Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) Gouryuujin (Gouryuujin) Genryuujin (Genryuujin) Enemy Reinforcements: Mechanical Origin x16 -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | GoLion Destroyed | -------------------------------------- 150 Will, again. I don't know about you, but I was practically reaping the enemies apart with any unit I deployed. No strategy here, go all out. J-Ark joins on turn 7, too. Ally Reinforcements: J-Ark (J) -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | J-Ark Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Don't bother using J, he won't be available till much later, if you do, just keep an eye on his HP. Other than this, clear the map and move on. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 26: FIGHT WITH COURAGE ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | J-Ark Destroyed | | Valhawk Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Blessfield) Nadesico Y Unit (Yurika) Valhawk (Kazuma) J-Ark (J) GaoGaiGar (Gai) Gekiryuujin (Gekiryuujin) Chouryuujin (Chouryuujin) Player's Choice x12 Enemy Units (Initial): Arm Arcus (Aria) Orbs x9 EI-02 x3 EI-11 x3 EI-13 x3 EI-15 x3 EI-21 x3 EI-26 EI-27 EI-28 EI-29 This is probably one of the hardest stages yet. I highly suggest that you deploy a healing unit (eg. Blue Earth, Boss Borot, etc) on this map, because the game randomly selects a certain number of units on your side and damages their HPs at the end of every turn. It's annoying I know, but hey, this is the second last chapter in the first movement, you want some challenges, don't you? :) Aria's HP regenerates when you bring it down to 0, she'll only retreat when J-Ark reaches its destination. This condition appears when there are 16 enemy units left. This event is of course, accompanied by many more opponent reinforcements. Ally Reinforcements: Detonator Orgun (Orgun) Enemy Reinforcements: Eido x9 Lang x9 ------------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: J-Ark Reaches Designated Point| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | J-Ark Destroyed | | Valhawk Destroyed | ------------------------------------------------- Orgun... isn't much use, but the more the marrier. Your Yuusha Robots regenerate their EN and HP every turn, which should make your life a lot easier (including J-Ark). If you have already destroyed Aria a couple of times, you can start moving J-Ark to the indicated zone to activate the next set of events. Aria will retreat at this point and Z Master finally makes its appearance. Enemy Reinforcements: Z Master Ally Reinforcements: Valguard (Kazuma) -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy Z Master | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | J-Ark Destroyed | | Valguard Destroyed | -------------------------------------- This is it guys, unleash everything you have at it. Throw on whatever seishin you can cast to boost your accuracy, attack power or defense and pound away. It has a ton of HP, so it's going to take a while for it to go down. Watch each of your unit's HP in case it gets hit by those random firings, utilize your healing units' abilities to replenish if you don't like casting healing seishins. On a side note, Valguard is THE most badass protagonist unit you'll ever get in a SRT game up till this point. Thick armor, high HP, good evasion, 6 pilot seishin bank... I mean, this is totally spoiling new and veteran players alike. Even if you purposely try to make Valguard fall, it'll take a freaking long time to do so. The only downside to it is that its strongest attacks are melee based, so if you've stacked all your PP to Kazuma's Ranged stat, the amount of damage you deal'll be reduced. But... WHO CARES!? It owns everything else, period. Anyway, the chapter concludeS with the destruction of Z Master. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 27: THEN... THE NEVER ENDING TOMORROW ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ ----------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Zonuda Robot Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | ----------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Nadesico Y Unit (Yurika) Player's Choice x10 Enemy Units (Initial): Zonuda Robot Yes, there's only one enemy here, but it won't be easy to bring it down as any unit that attacks it will be forced to retreat. What do you do? Cast VALOR, ALERT and STRIKE on your units and start attacking. You only get one chance to hit it, so might as well make it worthwhile. On turn 3, Gai arrives. Ally Reinforcements: Star GaoGaiGar (Gai) ----------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Zonuda Robot Destroyed| |Losing Condition: GaoGaiGar Destroyed | ----------------------------------------- Gai's the only one who doesn't retreat after attacking Zonuda. Since most of your units already depleted Zonuda's HP below 40% (I hope), Gai's Heaven and Hell attack should take care of the remaining life it has. Cast RESIST, VALOR and STRIKE on Gai for a quicker victory. After this chapter, the first movement of the game comes to an end. Save and it's time to move on to the second part! ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 28: THE ONLY ONE IN THE UNIVERSE ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Miguel's Unit Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | ------------------------------------------ Ally Units (Initial): GINN Gai Custom (Murakumo) GINN Elijah Custom (Elijah) Neutral Units (Initial): Moebius (Kite) Enemy Units (Initial): GINN x3 GINN Miguel Custom (Miguel) This is the starting point of Gundam Seed/Astray arc, however, W focuses mainly on Astray and Astray X, so some Seed fans might be disappointed. If you really crave for that Kira x Athrun thing, buy SRTJ for GBA, it's just like W with, except everything's displayed on one screen instead of two. Anyway, the protags of Astray are overpowered in this game, their stats plus the units they receive later make them almost invincible. So definitely train Gai and Lowe for superior ownage purposes. For clarification purposes, I'll address Gai from Astray as Murakumo to avoid any confusion that might arise due to the other "Gai"s in W. Cast FOCUS on Murakumo and take out the GINNs. If you want an easier fight with Miguel, use melee attacks instead of ranged, he should go down fast this way. Whoa, hold it, the battle ain't over yet. Lance and his pets decide to stir things up by assaulting you. Some scenes take place and you will get to control the Blessfield family once more. Enemy Reinforcements: Tekkaman Lance (Lance) Radam Beast x4 Ally Reinforcements: Shihomi (Valstork) Mihiro (Valhawk) ------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Tekkaman Lance Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | ------------------------------------------- Mihiro's obviously not as strong as Kazuma, but if you ever bothered to upgrade Valhawk's evasion and armor, killing these rookies on the map should be a breeze. A turn later, Mu arrives. Ally Reinforcements: Moebius Zero (Mu) Mr. La Flaga is a virtuous chuunin oyaji (middle aged man), jumps into the big mess whenever he can, as if he can save the day with a mobile armor. Spare yourself the trouble and keep his MA away, you don't need that extra firepower to take out Lance. If Mu got crushed, well, he'll be the first man who makes the possible impossible... ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 29: RED SOUL, BLUE FLAME ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Murakumo's Unit Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Astray B-Frame (Lowe) Enemy Units (Initial): Moebius (Murakumo) As you can see, both protags of Astray have made their appearances, and both look much cooler than Kira and Athrun combined. Well, that's my personal opinion anyway. Murakumo casts FOCUS and ALERT every turn, to counter-balance this, you should cast FOCUS and STRIKE on Lowe. Waste Murakumo's ALERT by attacking him, and strike back when he's attacking you. Do not worry about wasting seishins, they'll be replenished later, spam it while you can. After 3 turns, some events will take place, Lowe is kicked out from B-Frame by Murakumo and a bunch of Gundam Wing units show up. Enemy Reinforcements: Serpent x2 Taurus x2 Moebius x2 Player Reinforcements: Astray B-Frame (Murakumo) GINN Elijah Custom (Elijah) -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- This is gotta be a joke or something. Even Elijah can handle these poor bastards alone. When enemy's unit is down to 1, which should be happening within a turn or so, a second wave of reinforcement arrive. Enemy Reinforcements: Leave (Leave) Eido x9 Boss unit! Except he's not strong, Murakumo should single footedly kick him out from this galaxy. Let Elijah handle the janitor work and clean these Eidos. Protag's family troopers will arrive when you take down Leaf, some dialogues ensure and this chapter should end. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 30: GODDESS' DREAM, GOD OF WAR'S AMBITION ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) Valhawk (Kazuma) Astray R-Frame (Lowe) HOME (Professor) Enemy Units (Initial): Moebius x4 Stern Kugel x5 No, this chapter isn't about Belldandy (Ah! My Goddess!) or Kratos (God of War). Let me say this first so you don't mess up on getting Nicol as a secret character. Do not wander off too far from where you are, otherwise you won't have enough time to destroy Blitz Gundam. You start off with enough units to quickly dismember your enemies, do so until their number drops to 7, Murakumo will come in to challenge Lowe for another duel. Enemy Reinforcements: Astray B-Frame FW (Murakumo) Unfortunately, you can't kill him. His unit will fully regenerate after its HP reaches 0. You can try shooting him down once and get some exp and money, but refrain from using too many seishins. When enemy units number drop to 3, all of them retreat except Murakumo. Some events take over and reinforcements for both sides show up. Enemy Reinforcements: Buster Gundam (Dearka) Blitz Gundam (Nicol) Duel Gundam (Yzak) GINN x12 Play Reinforcements: Astray B-Frame FW (Murakumo) Aestivalis Custom Gai (Gai) Aestivalis Custom Ryoko (Ryoko) GINN Elijah Custom (Elijah) The new group of enemies pop out right around the positions where your units were initially. In 2 turns, they'll all retreat, make sure you shoot down Nicol before then if you want his Blitz. This shouldn't be hard with Lowe and Murakumo around. If you engage Dearka, Saburota will make his flashy entry with his Super Aestivalis Saburota... -___- Player Reinforcements: Super Aestivalis Saburota (Saburota) Not much use, really. Just ignore him. When 2 turns have passed, all Zaft forces will be replaced by Martians, our new captain for Nadesico joins in, too. Accompanying her, are 2 uncontrollable NPCs who should be familiar to you (well, at least one of them). Enemy Reinforcements: Rokuren x6 Sekishiki x6 Ally Reinforcements: Nadesico B (Ruri) Black Serena (???) Eucharis (Labis) Don't worry about the NPCs, their deaths don't mean game over. Black Serena will probably go down in 1 turn if it couldn't avoid Rokurens' attacks, and Labis has no significance whatsoever. All enemies will run away in 2 turns, if you want the experience and cash, take them out fast. Sekishikis post no threats; Rokuren, however, could present some problems if you used up all your seishins. They have high evasion and accuracy against most of your units. Throwing Lowe in there and cast STRIKE and FOCUS should do the job. If you want to level some of your other characters, just let them land the finishing blow to avoid a game over screen. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 31: PRINCESS AND BUFFOONERY, QUEEN AND YUUSHA ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) Archangel (Marrue) Valhawk (Kazuma) Anryuu (Anryuu) Kouryuu (Kouryuu) Enemy Units (Initial): Gimlet Empereur (Gimlet) Moebius x3 Stern Kugel x3 Taurus x3 Serpent x3 Build up your characters' Wills by depleting zakos, Gimlet isn't exactly strong, but Anryuu/Kouryuu really shouldn't be engaging it. Wait for your reinforcements on turn 2 and 3 for some better units. Ally Reinforcements: TURN 2 Aile Strike Gundam (Kira) Moebius Zero (Mu) Ally Reinforcements: TURN 3 GaoGaiGar (Gai) Big Valfogg (Valfogg) Gai and Valfogg will join permanently after this stage, feel free to use them for your needs. Kira and Mu will join much later, so avoid letting them steal your kills. There won't be more reinforcements till you shoot down Gilmet. Use Gai for an easy victory. Note that all initial enemies will flee if you destroyed Gimlet first. A party for Martians starts right after Gimlet's defeat. Enemy Reinforcements: Sekishiki x8 Majin Tetsujin Denjin Batta x4 Katonbo x2 Ally Reinforcements: Nadesico B (Ruri) HOME (Professor) Aestivalis Custom Gai (Gai) Aestivalis Custom Ryoko (Ryoko) Super Aestivalis Saburota (Saburota) Astray R-Frame (Lowe) Ally Reinforcements (Enemy # < 15): Black Serena (???) Use this chance to build Lowe into an ace pilot if you want. ???'s entrance is starting to get annoying, you can't control him, and he steals kills. Quickly finish all enemies in 2 turns to reduce loss. Map cleared? Good, let's move on. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 32: THE END OF HIGHSCHOOL LIFE ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Bonta-kun (Bonta-kun) Enemy units (Initial): EI-02 If you plan to crush EI-02 with Bonta, think again. Wait for multiple reinforcements in the next 4 turns before making any bald moves. It's not worth the risk, trying to rush with Bonta-kun and get shot down accidentally at a 5% accuracy. Ally Reinforcements: TURN 2 Majin (Shiratori) TURN 4 Mazinger Z (Kouji) Venus A (Sayaka) Boss Borot (Boss) Shin Getta 1 (Ryuuma) Enemy Reinforcements: TURN 2 RK-92 Savage x2 C3-5 Mistral II x2 Taurus x2 M6 Bushnell x2 Serpent x2 TURN 4 Gimlet Empereur (Gimlet) -------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Gimlet Empereur Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------------- You should be able to clear half of them by the end of turn 4, with Shin Getta 1 alone. Mazinger Z's not worth using till Great Mazinger arrives. EI-02 regenerates a small portion of its HP every turn, if you plan to bring it down, focus all your attacks on it for one turn. Getting Ryuuma's Will to 140-ish is very useful, because by then you can spam Stoner Sunshine on Gimlet or EI-02, one badass attack that does about 5000 damage or more. When Gimlet falls, more reinforcements appear, mostly zakos that'll add more counts toward your pilot's 0wned list. Enemy Reinforcements: Metal Beast Twin Head x4 Metal Beast Skull x4 Metal Demon Drago x4 Ally Reinforcements: Great Mazinger (Tetsuya) Venus A Neo (Jun) Million Alpha (Lolly) -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- I hardly ever use Great Mazinger or its companions. Million Alpha might be an exception because it can fly, repair and refill. More mobile than Boss Borot in terms of a support unit, I suppose. Not much else left to say for this stage, just clear the map and get on with it. You'll be given a choice to pick routes again during the character conversations, the series distribution breaks down like this: A. Reject Request [Gundam Seed Astray, Gundam W, Tekkaman Blade] B. Accept Request [Tekkaman Blade, Gundam Seed] ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 33A: THE APPROACHING GOLDEN SHADOW ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) HOME (Professor) Valhawk (Kazuma) Astray R-Frame (Lowe) Enemy Units (Initial): Moebius x2 Birdman x2 Delphinium x2 Taurus x2 Such weaklings, clear them the way you like and anticipate the next wave... of Gundams. Enemy Reinforcements: Gundam Wing Zero (Heero) Altron Gundam (Wufei) Ally Reinforcements: Astray B-Frame FW (Murakumo) ------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy Gundam Wing Zero| | Destroy Altron Gundam | |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | ------------------------------------------- Heero and Wufei will retreat 2 turns later, it's definitely worth shooting them down for exp and money. Spamming Valguard and the 5-men seishin bank would be ideal. More zakos show up when the above cnoditions are met, D-Boy also makes his entrance. Enemy Reinforcements: Radam Beast x6 Radam Mother x3 Alien Tekkaman x3 Ally Reinforcements: Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Alien Tekkamen have high evasions and fairly strong attacks, cast seishins like STRIKE and ALERT to reduce damage or EN waste. D-Boy won't be joining your crew anytime soon, so level up Lowe or Kazuma if you want. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 33B: VIRGIN FLUSH ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) Nadesico B (Ruri) Player's Choice x6 Enemy Units (Initial): GINN x8 CGUE X2 W00t, CGUE! I love that unit, too bad there's none on your side. When you deplete their numbers down to 4, a bunch of Tekkamen units take over Zaft's position and attack you. Enemy Reinforcements: Tekkaman Sword (Sword) Radam Beast x8 Radam Mother x4 Just let anyone who has STRIKE and ALERT handle Sword, the rest of your units can clean the map. Sword will flee if you take down his HP to 30%, to ensure you get the exp and money, cast VALOR and use support attacks for a definite knock out. Eitherway, some events will unfold leading to more reinforcements. Ally Reinforcements: Tekkaman Evil (Evil) Tekkaman Sommer (Sommer) Tekkaman Vesna (Vesna) Enemy Reinforcements: RK-92 Savage x3 C3-5 Mistral II x3 Taurus x3 M6 Bushnell x3 Serpent x3 The 3 new Tekkaman units will join you permanently after this stage, I'm not a fan of Tekkaman folks, but their small size and high evasion definitely make them the ultimate frontline butchers in this game. In addition, these units have some crazy combo attacks that you can pull off for massive damage. So if you crave for them, investing in their abilities will prove to be useful later. That said, I personally don't use any Tekkaman other than the protags. As for frontline butchers, Lowe and Kazuma can do all the dirty works with little probability of being shot down. Anyway, the remaining enemy units pose no threats. Clear the map and move on. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 34A: AWAKENING OF THE GRAVEYARD BLADE ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Gundam Heavyarms Kai (Trowa) Black Serena (???) Enemy Units (Initial): Sekishiki x4 Batta x4 Katonbo x3 It'd be better if you don't confront the enemy head on. Heavyarms isn't exactly heavily protected, cast GUARD just in case. You don't want a game over screen before turn 1 is over, right? Akito's still not controllable, let him have his way, reinforcements arrive on turn 2 for both sides. Enemy Reinforcements: Rokuren x3 Ally Reinforcements: Valstork (Shihomi) HOME (Professor) Valhawk (Kazuma) Gundam Deathscythe (Duo) -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Rokuren Destroyed | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| -------------------------------------- Rokurens are an annying bunch, but they mainly engage Akito. You should always cast ALERT, STRIKE, FOCUS, VALOR, etc. to be on safe side if you intend on attacking them. Don't worry about Akito, he's invincible. Rokurens' defeat shifts the story towards Astray. It's now a battle between Lowe and Mikhail: Ally Reinforcements: Astray R-Frame (Lowe) Enemy Reinforcements: GINN High Maneuver (Mikhail) GINN x6 ----------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy Mikhail's Unit| |Losing Condition: Lowe's Unit Destroyed | ----------------------------------------- High maneuver, the name says it all. Better cast FOCUS or STRIKE if you wanna hit him. Lowe should be able to take care of this alone, but that's up to you. When you fulfill the victory condition, you get to see a few scenes on Astray Gold Frame, but eventually, you'll end up on Earth, exactly where Kira battles Andy. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 34B: THE SHAKEN THOUGHT AND A SMALL DECISION ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ Again, there are two parts to this chapter: PART I: -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Tekkaman Evil (Evil) Tekkaman Sommer (Sommer) Tekkaman Vesna (Vesna) Enemy Units (Initial): Radam Beast x6 Radam Mother x3 If you are worried about getting killed, placing them close together to warrant support attack/defense would be the best. Cast the necessary seishins for you need and don't worry about wasting them. You won't be using these units for Part II of the chapter. The stage automatically terminates after 3 turns. PART II: -------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Tekkaman Evil Destroyed | | Kouryuu & Anryuu Destroyed| -------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) Nadesico B (Ruri) Tekkaman Evil (Evil) Kouryuu (Kouryuu) Anryuu (Anryuu) Player's Choice x6 Enemy Units (Initial): Radam Beast x10 Radam Mother x5 Leave Evil and the Ryuus behind if you don't plan on stacking levels on them. When you bring down enemy numbers to 9, Leave arrives with his goons. Attacking Leave will trigger a scene with more reinforcements on both sides. Enemy Reinforcements: ENEMY NUMBER DOWN TO 9 Leave Eido x15 LEAVE DAMAGED Tekkaman Sword (Sword) Alien Tekkaman x3 Ally Reinforcements: LEAVE DAMAGED Tekkaman Aki (Aki) -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| -------------------------------------- Aki won't join you till later, you don't have to train her now. Start by killing Eidos to build up your Will. You can fuse Anryuu and Kouryuu and use their long range attack on Leave, and finish him with Valguard. As for the Tekkamen, STRIKE and FOCUS are mandatory casts. It's a good thing that they have crappy defenses. Try to kill everything before you finish Leave, as most of them retreat when their commander flees. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 35: BLOWING WIND IN THE HOT SAND ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ Another two-part chapter, so annoying... PART I: -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy LaGOWE | |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Archangel (Marrue) Aile Strike Gundam (Kira) Sky Grasper-1 (Mu) Sky Grasper-2 (Cagalli) Gundam Sandrock Kai (Quatre) Enemy Units (Initial): LaGOWE (Andy) BuCUE x6 If you want to unlock Blitz and Nicol, you better destroy Andy within 3 turns, which shouldn't be hard if you swarm it. Just becareful not to get anybody killed during the assault. Save often and don't save up on seishins! If you can get Cagalli's kills over 5 in this chapter, you'll receive the IWSP pack for Strike after Chapter 46. PART II: -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Sky Grasper-2 (Cagalli) Gundam Sandrock Kai (Quatre) M6 Bushnell (Seina) Enemy Units (Initial): ZY-98 Shadow (Zaidou) Serpent x3 Taurus x3 Birdman x3 RK-92 Savage x3 ZY-98 Shadow x3 C3-5 Mistral II x3 I'll say this again, if you want the IWSP pack for Strike, make sure Cagalli gets over 5 kills on this stage. There are plenty of enemies available, it should not be hard at all. Play defensively before the end of turn 3, when your reinforcements arrive. If you engaged Zaidou before then, you'll be greeted with two Behemoth units... which is NOT fun, even with Sousuke backing you up. Ally Reinforcements: TURN 3 Valstork (Shihomi) Nadesico B (Ruri) M9 Gernsback (Mao) M9 Gernsback (Kurz) M9 Gernsback (Guile) Player's Choice x10 ZAIDOU ENGAGED ARX-7 Arbalest (Sousuke) Enemy Reinforcements: ZAIDOU ENGAGED Behemoth x2 ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Zaidou's Unit Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Mao's Unit Destroyed | ------------------------------------------ Again, unless you are obsessed with FMP folks, I suggest you limit your training to just Sousuke. Kurz and Mao aren't exactly frontline units, and their sniping specialties can be easily replaced with Heavyarms and Astray B-Frame. As stated in the battle conditions, Mao cannot die here, she sucks at dodging and some units tend to gang up on her, your best strategy here is to leave her behind and cast protective seishins just in case. Leave the slaughter to your Gundams. Zaidou's Shadow is pretty mobile, but its armor is pathetic. Gang up on him once you cleaned up his pests and he should go down in a turn or less. But wait, this game isn't over yet. Gauron, despite his crippled body, salutes you again with his updated Codarl. If you dare to attack him, he returns the favor by calling his allies over. Enemy Reinforcements: ZAIDOU SHOT DOWN Plan-1058 Codarl (Gauron) GAURON ENGAGED Tekkaman Lance (Lance) Radam Beast x4 Radam Mother x2 Alien Tekkaman x6 Ally Reinforcements: GAURON ENGAGED Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Codarl Destroyed | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | Mao's Unit Destroyed| | Arbalest Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Send some second class units over to deal with Lance (eg. Sandrock, Heavyarms, Blade, etc). Move all your frontline fighters to assault Gauron, he's one tough nut to crack. Just when you think you shot him down, he replenishes all his lost HP for a second round. It's best if you have left over SPs, if not, place your units to maximize support attack/defense. I kicked his butt with just that, no seishin involved ('cause I had nothing left...). Cagalli and Mu have refill/repair kits equiped on their Sky Graspers, use them for your advantage. Good luck! ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 36: AN ALTERNATE INTO THE BLUE ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Vosgulov Class Destroyed | |Losing Condition: Tuatha de Daanan Destroyed| | Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Tuatha de Daanan (Daanan) Player's Choice x17 Enemy Units (Initial): Vosgulov Class (Marco) Blitz Gundam (Nicol) Buster Gundam (Dearka) Duel Gundam AS (Yzak) GOOhN x8 ZnO x4 BuCUE x4 DINN x4 Nicol appears again, destroy him if you want his Blitz. There is no turn limit for Zaft's retreat, so take your time and destroy everything before sinking Vosgulov. Yzak's machine can shed its armor after being destroyed, giving him an extra life over the others. Once Zaft's mothership has fallen, Gauron begins his assault. Of course Gauron would never show up if Sousuke isn't there, that would bring disappointments to Kagami Hiragi (Lucky Star) and other fangirls XD Ally Reinforcements: ARX-7 Arbalest (Sousuke) Enemy Reinforcements: ZnO (Marco) Plan-1058 Codarl (Gauron) -------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Codarl Destroyed | |Losing Condition: Tuatha de Daanan Destroyed| | Arbalest Destroyed | -------------------------------------------- I never bothered powering up the Arbalest, so I had to constantly cast FOCUS on Sousuke. If you maxed out his unit, I doubt Gauron would pose much threat. As for Marco, his ZnO is just a rotten veggie waiting to be disposed; however, do shoot him down first. You don't want him too close to your mothership, which has no close range attacks to defend itself. You'll be given a choice to choose between Real and Super robot routes during character dialogues, and if you want Nicol's Blitz, you HAVE to pick the first option: A: Pursuit Kaname to Orb [Gundam Seed, FMP!] B: Preparation against Biott in Paris [Mazinkaiser, GGG] ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 37A: THUNDER IN A PEACEFUL NATION ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ PART I: ------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Athrun's Unit Destroyed | |Losing Condition: Kira's Unit Destroyed | ------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Aile Strike Gundam (Kira) Enemy Units (Initial): Aegis Gundam (Athrun) Gosh, this stage is overused... = =. How many times do you have to watch Athrun blows up Kira only to see him come back with Freedom a few stages later? Just keep pumping FOCUS on Kira and you'll win. After our two fully germinated Seed pilots "died", Lowe comes in to collect their machines' leftovers, but the task isn't so smooth. Ally Reinforcements: Astray R-Frame F (Lowe) Enemy Reinforcements: Astray G-Frame Sky (???) --------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Gold Frame Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Lowe's Unit Destroyed| --------------------------------------- This duel is slightly harder than the last one, but you don't have to destroy Gold Frame, just live for 4 turns and it's over. If you want to trash G-Frame for satisfaction, I suggest you upgrade Lowe's machine first. G-Frame has 22000 HP, it should go down if you attack & counter during you limited turns. PART II: -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Codarl Destroyed | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | Arbalest Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) Nadesico B (Ruri) ARX-7 Arbalest (Sousuke) Player's Choice x10 Enemy Units (Initial): Plan-1058 Codarli (Gates) ZY-98 Shadow (Yufang) ZY-98 Shadow (Yulan) RK-92 Savage x5 ZY-98 Shadow x5 C3-5 Mistral II x5 Sousuke thought Gauron's driving that Codarl, but it's actually Gates. Well, it matters not who, you'll have to shoot it down anyway. 2 turns later, Gates charges at Sousuke directly, and finds a Falke standing in his way. To make things fair for the enemies, Gates summons Dead (no, he's no necromancer). Ally Reinforcements: Falke (Grouseaux) Enemy Reinforcements: Tekkaman Dead (Dead) -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Codarl Destroyed | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | Falke Destroyed | -------------------------------------- If you want to keep it short, shooting down Gates will clear the map. Otherwise, you'll need to keep Falke away from enemies, it's easily targeted and ganged upon. Dead will retreat as soon as you land a hit, so worry not. What you should watch out for are the combo attacks Gates and his two female subordinates can pull off. Avoid placing your units side by side to minimize damage. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 37B: INVADERS FROM THE DARK SIDE ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Gimlet Empereur Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Great Mazinger (Tetsuya) Venus A Neo (Jun) Million0 Alpha (Lolly) Kouryuu (Kouryuu) Anryuu (Anryuu) Enemy Units (Initial): Gimlet Empereur (Gimlet) Serpent x3 RK-92 Savage x3 M6 Bushnell x3 Birdman x3 C3-5 Mistral II x3 Taurus x3 Stern Kugel x3 Both Venus and Million have repair ability, use them to your advantage. Out of the 5 units you begin with, I'd say Tetsuya's the only one who can endure enemy attacks. It's best if you pull back till turn 2 when your reinforcements arrive. Ally Reinforcements: Mazinger Z (Kouji) Venus A (Sayaka) Boss Borot (Boss) Shin Getta 1 (Ryuuma) Boss can refill your EN, Sayaka can repair, that's two more support units for you. Ryuuma alone can handle everything, Getta is a 3-men seishin bank, you'll have all the spirits you need to dodge and endure incoming attacks from the goons; Mazinger and Great Mazinger can just fill in for Getta if it can't kill enemies in one hit. Gimlet himself is pathetic, Shin Getta's Stoner Sunshine with VALOR casted on Ryuuma can easily bring down its HP to 30% or less, when that happens, you get a few more reinforcements on your side. Ally Reinforcements: Valstork (Shihomi) Valhawk (Kazuma) GaoGaiGar (Gai) Big VolFogg (VolFogg) Rairyuu (Rairyuu) Fuuryuu (Fuuryuu) Enryuu (Enryuu) Hyouryuu (Hyouryuu) That's more than enough to bring down Gimlet for the last time. Watch the next few events and get ready for some wet work. Enemy Reinforcecments: Metal Demon Drago x8 Battle Beast Psychobear x2 Battle Beast Dante x2 -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Dante from Devil May Cry must be crying at a corner right now seeing himself turned into a piece of ugly scrap metal, well at least its durable (HP 20700). Other than the high HPs, these machines are easy to handle. Kazuma can feed them with Valhawk's fists. But don't expect this battle to end anytime soon; just when you cut the remaining enemies number to 5, more reinforcements featuring the same types of enemies will appear, it's more annoying than challenging, so be prepared. Enemy Reinforcements: Metal Demon Drago x8 Battle Beast Psychobear Battle Beast Dante Use whatever strategy you are comfortable with for now, eventually Ankoku Daishogun will show up to hi-jack Mazinkaiser Shiro brought for Kouji, and the final showdown begins in the next chapter! ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 38A: HIS AND HER PROBLEMS ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Codarl Destroyed | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) Nadesico B (Ruri) M1 Astray (Cagalli) Player's Choice x16 Enemy Units (Initial): Plan-1058 Codarli (Gates) ZY-98 Shadow (Yulan) RK-92 Savage x3 ZY-98 Shadow x3 C3-5 Mistral II x3 Sekishiki x6 Rokuren x3 Sucks to fight against the same opponents a chapter ago, doesn't it? Good thing Yufang isn't here, but Yulan's combo attack can still hurt, avoid placing your units side by side till you shoot her down. As for the Rokurens, casting STRIKE helps A TON, you should leave this to yout super robots. If you bring down Yulan, both sides receive reinforcements, if you destroy Codarli, however, the entire Gates' force retreats. As usual, for max money and exp, it's better if you leave Gates last. Ally Reinforcements: ARX-7 Arbalest (Sousuke) Black Serena (Akito) Enemy Reinforcements: YULAN SHOT DOWN ZY-98 Shadow (Yufang) Rokuren x2 GATES SHOT DOWN Metal Demon Drago x6 Battle Beast Psychobear Battle Beast Dante -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | Arbalest Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Psychobear carries a chip that lowers Will and SP if its attack lands on your pilots, destroy it first just in case. Akito is still an NPC, leave him be, he could either destroy the Rokurens or be destroyed by them, it matters not eitherway. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 38B: DEATHMATCH! MAZIN VS DAISHOGUN ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ --------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Ankoku Daishogun Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Great Mazinger Destroyed | | Shin Getta Destroyed | --------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) Great Mazinger (Tetsuya) Shin Getta 1 (Ryuuma) Player's Choice x13 Enemy Units (Initial): Ankoku Daishogun (Ankoku Daishogun) Bizarre Bird Shogun Bardalar (Bardalar) Demon Anthropod Shogun Dreidow (Dreidow) Evil Spirit Shogun Hardias (Hardias) Metal Demon Drago x12 Battle Beast Psychobear x2 Battle Beast Dante x2 This is it folks, you won't have to fight any more metal beasts after this chapter. Tetsuya challenges Ankoku Daishogun for a duel, but he's not ready for that, plus you cannot let Tetsuya die here, so pull him as far back as possible. Destroy the other shoguns first, real robots will have an advantage here, cast FOCUS or FLASH on your Gundams and start chipping. There won't be any reinforcements until you destroy Ankoku Daishogun, so no need to rush. Ally Reinforcements: ANKOKU DAISHOGUN DESTROYED Mazinkaiser (Kouji) Enemy Reinforcements: ANKOKU DAISHOGUN DESTROYED Invincible Fortress Demonica (Gorgon) --------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Ankoku Daishogun Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Great Mazinger Destroyed | | Shin Getta Destroyed | | Mazinkaiser Destroyed | --------------------------------------------- This is probably the first boss with 320000 HP, but fear not, you can now unleash the Final Dynamic Special combination attack with Shin Getta 1, Mazinkaiser and Great Mazinger together which does insane amount of damage if you cast VALOR. Keep pounding him with your best attacks and Gorgon will fall. Watch the scenes featuring Aria, who steals the precious Q parts you fought so hard to get back from Ankoku Daishogun to end the stage. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 39: REBIRTH OF THE IRON KNIGHT ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Tekkaman Dead Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Tekkaman Blade Destroyed| ------------------------------------------ Ally Units (Initial): Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) Enemy Units (Initial): Tekkaman Dead (Dead) Both Dead and Blade will retreat after 4 turns, you can either wait it out (avoid getting Blade killed), or chop down Dead for some good cash and exp. Do note however that Pegas is destroyed right at the start, so if you haven't upgraded Blade's mobility, dodging Dead's attacks will be difficult. Cast FOCUS and VALOR and save before you strike, if your attack lands, save again and end your turn. If you get hit during the enemy's turn while counterattacking, reload your save to try again. As long as you are aggressive, Dead won't last long. Ally Reinforcements: Valstork (Shihomi) Nadesico B (Ruri) Player's Choice x15 Enemy Reinforcements: Radam Beast x8 Radam Mother x4 Alien Tekkaman x6 -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| -------------------------------------- No bosses in the remainder part of this chapter, it's a good time to level up some of your units that didn't have a chance to deploy in the previous stages. There are two waves of enemy reinforcements when you reduce their units to a specific number. Enemy Reinforcements: 9 ENEMY UNITS REMAINING Eido x9 6 ENEMY UNITS REMAINING AFTER THE SECOND WAVE Eido x8 Ally Reinforcements: 9 ENEMY UNITS REMAINING Birdman (Yoko) 6 ENEMY UNITS REMAINING AFTER THE SECOND WAVE Orgun (Orgun) -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | Orgun Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Orgun is now controllable, but avoid putting him in the frontline until you upgrade his mobility. The Eidos become Eido IIs when you destroy them, and they still suck. Clear the map and move on. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 40: THE TRUTH OF A HERO ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ ------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Star GaoGaiGar Destroyed| |Losing Condition: GaoFaiGar Destroyed | ------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): GaoFaiGar (Gai) Enemy Units (Initial): Star GaoGaiGar (Mamoru) Mamoru steals Gai's fusion components and becomes Star GGG, he owns Gai an explanation. Teaching this little punk a lesson can be easily done by casting RESIST. The first time you destroy Star GGG, J will appear as enemy reinforcement. Enemy Reinforcements: STAR GAOGAIGAR SHOT DOWN King J-der (J) On top of this, Star GGG regenerates its lost HP and you'll have to take on two units at the same time. The good news is that Gai's HP and SP automatically refill as well. GoLion will assist you when you bring down Star GGG's HP below 50%, so make this your priority and worry about J later. Ally Reinforcements: STAR GAOGAIGAR HP BELOW 50% GoLion (Akira) -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- This is more like a fair fight. With GoLion's five people seishin bank, taking out J and Mamoru should be a piece of cake now. After you clean this mess, both sides deplete the main forces, finally a full scale battle! Ally Reinforcements: STAR GAOGAIGAR AND J-DER DESTROYED Valstork (Shihomi) Nadesico B (Ruri) Mike Sounders XIII (Mike) Player's Choice x15 Enemy Reinforcements: STAR GAOGAIGAR AND J-DER DESTROYED Galra Empire Mothership (Syncline) Galra Empire Mothership Galra Empire Fighter Jet x6 Deathblack Beastman Death Hell x4 Deathblack Galsha x2 Megablack Beastman Ganma x2 Megablack Beastman Pai x2 -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| -------------------------------------- The Galra Empire units are a joke, take as many out as you can with your real robots, and prepare for another round of enemy reinforcements on the next turn. Enemy Reinforcements: Arm Arcus (Aria) Orbs x9 Aria is annoying isn't she? If you want money and exp, make sure to save her for last because a series of events will follow if you piss her off. :D Arm Arcus has high evasion, use STRIKE and support attacks for maximum damage, I recommend using super robots for this. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 41: MEMORY AND POWER, WHICH LIE AHEAD ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ ---------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Duel Gundam Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | ---------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) Nadesico B (Ruri) Player's Choice x15 Enemy Units (Initial): Duel Gundam AS (Yzak) GINN High Maneuver (Mikhail) GINN Miguel Custom (Miguel) CGUE DEEP Arms (Shiho) CGUE x4 GINN x4 BuCUE x4 GOOhN x4 ZnO x2 DINN x2 Obviously this is a real robot scramble. Since most of the enemies have fairly good evasion rates, it's important that you cast STRIKE or FOCUS to clean them up. Yzak will regenerate by shedding the extra equips on his Duel, and when you bring him down a second time, both sides will be greeted with reinforcements. Ally Reinforcements: DUEL GUNDAM SHOT DOWN A SECOND TIME Archangel (Marrue) Freedom Gundam (Kira) Enemy Reinforcements: DUEL GUNDAM SHOT DOWN A SECOND TIME Radam Beast x6 Radam Mother x4 Alien Tekkaman x6 Kira "Jesus" Yamato. He's not so Jesus when his Freedom hasn't been upgraded. You do, however, want to invest your money on this machine, it's a damn beast. Anyway, you may choose to ignore the Radams for now, because more reinforcements will arrive next turn. Ally Reinforcements: Orgun (Orgun) Enemy Reinforcements: Tekkaman Dead (Dead) ENEMY UNITS LESS THAN 9 Alien Tekkaman x9 ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Tekkaman Dead Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | 5 Turns Passed | | Orgun Destroyed | ------------------------------------------ Watch the plots unfold and the change in your winning conditions. You will have to shoot down Dead in five turns. If you are sure you can finish Dead in one turn, you can kill time by wiping out grunt units. Since Alien Tekkaman will spawn infinitely, you can use this as a training ground for money and exp. However, I strongly recommend that you first deplete Tekkaman Dead's HP below 60%, since Blade will come as your reinforcement. Ally Reinforcements: TEKKAMAN DEAD'S HP BELOW 60% Tekkaman Blade + Pegas (D-Boy) ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Tekkaman Dead Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | 5 Turns Passed | | Tekkaman Blade Destroyed| ------------------------------------------ Nothing much to say except finishing off Dead with Blade's new attack. Moving on! ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 42: THE FLASH OF DAWN ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Freedom Gundam Destroyed| ------------------------------------------ Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) Nadesico B (Ruri) Freedom Gundam (Kira) Aile Strike Rouge (Cagalli) Player's Choice x7 Enemy Units (Initial): 105 Dagger (Morgan) 105 Dagger (Ed) 105 Dagger x7 M6 Bushnell x3 Serpent x3 Birdman x3 Mass Produced Sol Tekkaman x3 Cagalli's Strike is too weak without upgrades, just recall it back to the mothership for now. Do NOT kill Ed until you convinced him with Lowe. When enemy unit number falls below 12, Athrun will appear with his Justice Gundam. Have a fight with him first with Kira to get Heero and his Wing Zero, then convince Athrun with Kira to lure further reinforcements out. By the way, if you did everything listed in the secret section correctly, you should see dialogues involving Nicol when Kira convinces Athrun as an indication to confirm that Nicol and his Blitz Gundam are now a deployable unit on your side. Enemy Reinforcements: ENEMY UNITS BELOW 12 Justice Gundam (Athrun) KIRA CONVINCES ATHRUN Calamity Gundam (Orga) Forbidden Gundam (Shani) Raider Gundam (Clotho) Ally Reinforcements: KIRA ENGAGES ATHRUN Gundam Wing Zero (Heero) KIRA CONVINCES ATHRUN Justice Gundam (Athrun) Buster Gundam (Dearka) Astray R-Frame P (Lowe) Astray B-Frame Second L (Murakumo) GINN Elijah Custom (Elijah) ------------------------------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Calamity, Raider and Forbidden Gundams Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ahh... the Federation druggies have finally entered the game and they are no pushover. Use STRIKE and FOCUS and spam the support attacks. Take them out one by one. With the modified Astrays, I didn't find this too difficult to fulfill. Once the Seed fights are over, you'll be greeted with some Tekkaman goodness. Enemy Reinforcements: CALAMITY, RAIDER AND FORBIDDEN GUNDAMS DESTROYED Tekkaman Lance (Lance) Radam Beast x6 Radam Mother x3 Alien Tekkaman x6 Third Party Reinforcements: CALAMITY, RAIDER AND FORBIDDEN GUNDAMS DESTROYED Lang Leave Eido x15 Fight Lance once and Orgun will appear. -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | Orgun Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Lance is hard to hit due to its small size. If you still have seishin left, use them and attack Lance. Avoid using Orgun as his current stats are in no condition to challenge a boss unit. Bringing this dude's HP to 30% or lower will trigger an event which involves D-Boy. Ally Reinforcements: TEKKAMAN LANCE'S HP BELOW 30% Tekkaman Blade + Pegas (D-Boy) ------------------------------------------ |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Orgun Destroyed | | Tekkaman Blade Destroyed| ------------------------------------------ At this point, it's worth mentioning that for every Alien Tekkaman or Eido you destroy, one more will fill in to compensate, so it'll be an infinite cycle of enemy reinforcement AGAIN! Use it to your advantage if you plan to level your characters. If you destroy Lance or Lang, the corresponding faction will retreat entirely. Take out Lance and watch the scenes, after this stage, Orgun and the Seed guys will permanently join your crew. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 43: IN THE DEPTH OF MEMORY ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | Valhawk Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) Valhawk (Kazuma) Nadesico B (Ruri) Tekkaman Blade (D-Boy) Player's Choice x14 Enemy Units (Initial): Radam Beast x6 Radam Mother x3 No challenge here, take out a few of them to get the main forces to appear. Ally Reinforcements: ENEMY UNIT NUMBER DOWN TO 5 GoLion (Akira) Super Aestivalis Saburota (Saburota) Enemy Reinforcements: ENEMY UNIT NUMBER DOWN TO 5 Tekkaman Evil (Evil) Alien Tekkaman x6 Radam Beast x6 Radam Mother x3 Third Party Reinforcements: ENEMY UNIT NUMBER DOWN TO 5 Galra Empire Mothership (Syncline) Galra Empire Fighter Jet x9 Deathblack Beast Death Hell x4 Deathblack Beast Galsha x4 Deathblack Beast Ganma x2 Deathblack Beast Pai x2 -------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Tekkaman Evil Destroyed | | Syncline's Ship Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Valkhawk Destroyed | | Tekkaman Blade Destroyed | -------------------------------------------- As usual, don't get overexcited with Saburota's new unit, keep him in the backseat. Destroying enemy commanders will cause the corresponding factions to withdraw completely, so take out as many grunts as you can before defeating Evil or Syncline. Evil uses his map weapon if your units are too clustered, it's not a problem if most of your forces are real robots. Ally Reinforcements: ALL ENEMIES DESTROYED OR WITHDRAWN Tekkaman Blade + Pegas (D-Boy) Enemy Reinforcements: ALL ENEMIES DESTROYED OR WITHDRAWN Arm Stola (Applicant) Arm Arcus (Aria) Orbs x9 Wreath x3 Stoma x3 -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Arm Stola Destroyed| | Arm Arcus Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | Valkhawk Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Enemies will flee if you manage to take out either Applicant or Aria. Applicant is slightly stronger than Aria, if you want a challenge, go ahead and fight him. Feed him with your attacks buffed by STRIKE and VALOR and the battle will end quickly. During the intermission dialogues, you'll be given a choice to choose between Earth or Mars routes (lasts two chapters): 44A. Nadesico Route [FMP, Nadesico] 44B. Earth Route [Gundam W, Seed] ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ 44A: RETURN TO THE "DAY BY DAY" ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) Nadesico B (Ruri) Player's Choice x17 Enemy Units (Initial): Rokuren x2 RK-92 Savage x4 ZY-98 Shadow x4 M6 Bushnell x4 Behemoth x2 Sekishiki x9 Cast STRIKE or FOCUS and wipe out the Rokurens ASAP, they'll be a pain if you let them join forces with the next reinforcement wave, which will arrive when you take out 19 enemy units. However, you do want to save the best frontline fighters' seishins, you'll know the reason soon enough. Third Party Reinforcements: ENEMY UNIT NUMBER DOWN TO 19 Plan-1059 Codarl (Yufang) Ally Reinforcements: ENEMY UNIT NUMBER DOWN TO 19 ARX-7 Arbalest (Sousuke) ENEMY UNIT NUMBER DOWN TO 10 OR SOUSUKE RECEIVES DAMAGE Black Serena (Akito) -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed| | Arbalest Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Although Yufang isn't on the same side as the Rokurens, they can still gang up on your units, that's why it's a good idea to eliminate the Rokurens before she appears. Akito is still an NPC, and he still steals your kills. He's more likely to get himself killed by Yufang, although you do want to watch out for the possibility of having him land the finishing blow on her if he does survive that long. Once Yufang's down, Gates will emerge. Enemy Reinforcements: Plan-1059 Codarli (Gates) Plan-1059 Codarlc x4 Gates is a cheap-ass, he casts FOCUS and ZEAL every single turn. On top of thiese, he uses weapons that chain combo your units, making your support attack/defense difficult. Thus, it goes without saying that your priority is eliminating this jerk. If you listened to my advice earlier, your frontline pilots should have enough SP for a few rounds of STRIKE or FOCUS. Before casting them, put your mothership close to the frontline such that the commander aura can enhance the accuracy and evasion rates of the surrounding allies. Gates has an HP of 61300 and is likely to withstand one turn of your bombardments. Defeating him will conclude this chapter. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 44B: CHILDREN OF DESTINY ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ -------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Astray R-Frame P Destroyed| -------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) Re.HOME (Professor) Astray R-Frame P (Lowe) Player's Choice x14 Enemy Units (Initial): Hyperion Gundam (Canard) Ultigure (REQUIRES PROPER NAME) Stern Kugel x3 Serpent x3 Birdman x3 Mass Produced Sol Tekkaman x3 Go ahead and attack Canard, this will trigger the first wave of reinforcements for both sides. Ally Reinforcements: Dreadnought Gundam (Prayer) Enemy Reinforcements: Stern Kugel x3 Serpent x3 Birdman x3 Mass Produced Sol Tekkaman x3 Prayer's fairly incompetent at this point, definitely not a frontline pawn without proper upgrades, put in close to your mothership. If you eliminate Canard or his mothership, the remaining enemies will flee followed by more reinforcements. Canard's Hyperion has insanely high evasion rate, I don't recommend wasting your seishin on him, target the ship for an easier and more effective victory. Enemy Reinforcements: Arm Arcus (Aria) Orbs x9 Wreath x3 Stoma x3 Take out the grunts, when their number falls below 12, the last wave of reinforcements will come. Player Reinforcements: ENEMY UNIT NUMBER BELOW 12 Astray B-Frame Second L (Murakumo) Altron Gundam (Wufei) Third Party Reinforcements: ENEMY UNIT BELOW 12 Astray G-Frame Amatu (Ghina) Sword Calamity x2 M1 Astray x12 --------------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Astray G-Frame Atamu Destroyed | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Astray R-Frame P Destroyed | | Astray B-Frame Second L Destroyed| --------------------------------------------------- Wufei and Murakumo are godly, the two should be able to handle Ghina's forces together provided that you cast the right seishins. One thing to note is that her G-Frame can absorb EN if you use beam-based ranged weapon, melee attacks are therefore recommended (especially Wufei's). ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ CHAPTER 45A: MALICIOUS BIRTH ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+ ------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Kira, Mu or Kazuma Killed| ------------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Valstork (Shihomi) Nadesico B (Ruri) Eternal (Lacus) Valhawk (Kazuma) Freedom Gundam (Kira) Aile Strike Gundam (Mu) Buster Gundam (Dearka) Player's Choice x11 Enemy Units (Initial): GuAIZ (Creuset) Duel Gundam AS (Yzak) CGUE DEEP Arms (Shiho) Vesalius CGUE x4 GuAIZ x4 This is an entire chapter on Seed, pretty faithfully replicated at that... well, with the exception that the original anime never bothered showing Yzak's girlfriend. It goes without saying that 90% of the units on this stage are going to be real robots, so FOCUS AND STRIKE are crucial for your success. Athrun will appear on the second turn, he can pull off some powerful combination attacks with Kira, use that to your advantage after you casted VALOR. Ally Reinforcements: Justice Gundam (Athrun) Creuset's forces will retreat if you shoot him down, so take as many as you can before feeding him a squirt of your beam. Yzak's Duel will shed its add-on and regenerate as usual, no surprise whatsoever. Do remember to persuade Yzak with Dearka, even though he refuses Dearka's invitation :P While Creuset issues the signal to withdraw, he releases a GINN which you must protect at all costs because the Earth Feddies that appear just at the right moment wanted it, too. To make it more messier, Aria and Kazuma will (re)deploy in the research facility, fighting like a couple. Enemy Reinforcements: CREUSET SHOT DOWN Dominion (Nartale) Calamity Gundam (Orga) Forbidden Gundam (Shani) Raider Gundam (Clotho) Gun Barrel Dagger (Morgan) Strike Dagger x3 Serpent x3 Stern Kugel x3 Mass Produced Sol Tekkaman x3 ONE TURN AFTER ENEMY REINFORCEMENTS Arm Arcus (Aria) GINN Ally Reinforcements: ONE TURN AFTER ENEMY REINFORCEMENTS Valhawk (Kazuma) --------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Dominion Destroyed | |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Freedom Destroyed | | Dominion Reaches GINN| | GINN Destroyed | --------------------------------------- Your top priority is to put your mothership and three other strong units around the GINN, this way, Dominion will not have access to it. The three druggies are a pain in the ass. If Athrun or Kira ran out of seishins, cast ATTUNE on them and abuse their combination attacks some more. As for Aria, make sure to lure her out from the research facility first, otherwise the terrain bonuses will replenish the Arm Arcus every turn. Dominion is fairly each to handle, destroy it for some good cash. ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ CHAPTER 45B: THE DESTRUCTIVE STORM OF DESERTION ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ -------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Destroy All Enemies| |Losing Condition: Ally Unit Destroyed | -------------------------------------- Ally Units (Initial): Astray R-Frame (Lowe) Astray B-Frame Second L (Murakumo) Enemy Units (Initial): Sekishiki x9 Pretty easy start, dispose all of them for a quick warm-up :) Ally Reinforcements: Valstork (Shihomi) Re.HOME (Professor) Player's Choice x14 REGENERATE GUNDAM ENGAGED Dreadnaught Gundam (Prayer) Enemy Reinforcements: Regenerate Gundam (Ash) GINN High Maneuver (Mikhail) GuAIZ x2 GINN x6 CGUE x5 Third Party Reinforcements: REGENERATE GUNDAM ENGAGED Hyperion Gundam Unit 1 (Canard) --------------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Regenerate Gundam Destroyed | | Hyperion Gundam Unit 1 Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | | Dreadnaught Gundam Destroyed | --------------------------------------------------- Re.HOME cannot move at this point, do not send all your troops down to fight Ash's forces. Leave your strongest units to protect Re.HOME as the moment you engage Ash, Canard will show up right where Re.HOME is and can really make things messy. Fortunately, Hyperion doesn't have that much HP, concentrate your fire on it for one turn and it will go down. When you shoot down Canard, Re.HOME will be able to move and the second wave of third party reinforcements appear. Third Party Reinforcements: Hyperion Gundam Unit 2 (Balsam) Stern Kugel x3 Serpent x3 Birdman x3 Mass Produced Sol Tekkaman x3 Delphinium x3 --------------------------------------------------- |Winning Condition: Regenerate Gundam Destroyed | | Hyperion Gundam Unit 2 Destroyed| |Losing Condition: Mothership Destroyed | --------------------------------------------------- ********************************************************************** Prayer and Canard will leave the map for event purpose. You now have the freedom to take down the remaining enemies at will. Hyperion Unit 2 is just like Unit 1, use the same strategy and it'll go down quickly. Regenerate Gundam, on the other hand, is much MUCH more difficult to handle. The unit uses bunshin when its HP is low and has high evasion stats. If you have some strong super robots in your party, cast VALOR, STRIKE and whatever seishins you find necessary to bring it down. FYI, Regenerate also has a MAP weapon, be sure not to cram all your units in one place. =================== 4. SKILL/ITEM LISTS =================== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I.

Skill Parts List ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a "new" addition to the franchise, instead of equippping skill to pilots like that in J, these parts are consumable, and once used, their effects are permanent. In a way, it's very advantageous if you are aiming to build a superman, but on the other hand, you can't swap the parts around freely as desired. Therefore, balancing out on the who-gets-what issue would be a smart move. BP +1: 1 bonus point to a character's BP stock BP +2: 2 bonus points to a character's BP stock BP +3: 3 bonus points to a character's BP stock Max SP +5: 5 bonus points to a character's max SP Max SP +10: 10 bonus points to a character's max SP Max SP +15: 15 bonus points to a character's max SP SP consumption -5%: Reduces SP usage by 5% each time it's used Initial Will +2: Unit gets 2 bonus Will boost when it's deployed In-fight: Learns In-fight or boosts its level by 1 Gun-fight: Learns Gun-fight or boosts its level by 1 Prevail +1: Learns Prevail or boosts its level by 1 Def.

Combination Attack List ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following combination attacks are grouped according to their anime origins.

SRW GBA Series Interaction If you have any of the GB/GBA versions of SRW in your slot 2 (legal copies obviously), SRWW will recognize it and give you corresponding bonuses that are otherwise unavailable: Super Robot Taisen A Cartridge -Spirit of A (sold for 11111): Armor +100, Mobility +10, Accuracy +10 Super Robot Taisen R Cartridge -Spirit of R (sold for 22222): Armor +150, Mobility +15, Accuracy +15 Super Robot Taisen D Cartridge -Spirit of D (sold for 33333) Armor +200, Mobility +20, Accuracy +20 Super Robot Taisen J Cartridge -Spirit of J (sold for 66666) Armor +350, Mobility +35, Accuracy +35 Super Robot Taisen OG Cartridge (Japanese) -Spirit of OG (sold for 44444) Armor +250, Mobility +25, Accuracy +25 Super Robot Taisen OG2 Cartridge (Japanese) -Spirit of OG2 (sold for 55555) Armor +300, Mobility +30, Accuracy +30 2nd Super Robot Taisen (Game Boy) -Spirit of 2nd SRW (sold for 99999) Armor +500, Mobility +50, Accuracy +50 2. The True Final Boss The real final boss isn't available until you start your second playthrough, therefore only the most dedicated fans to this series will be able to endure through the ordeals of 55 stages and see it all. 3. Secret Units and Characters ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yzak and Duel Gundam Assault Shroud (AS) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Choose to follow Nadesico during Chapter 43's path split, and use Dearka to convince Yzak. Choose to stop ZAFT during Chapter 49's path split, and Yzak will join after Chapter 51 with his Duel AS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gouryuujin & Genryuujin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Deploy Enryuu, Hyouryuu, Rairyuu and Fuuryuu in stage 49 and the ultimate fusion forms will be unlocked. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nicol and Blitz Gundam ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Make sure you destroy Blitz in any stage it shows up in (Chapter 30 has a turn limit, be sure to blow it up before the fourth turn). In Chapter 35, kill Andy within 3 turns. Blow up Blitz before Gauron shows up. Choose to chase Kaname to Orb after Chapter 36's path split, and blow up Aegis Gundam in 4 turns on Chapter 37. Finally, on Chapter 42, convince Athrun with Kira to get an event, Nicol will join in with his Blitz on that stage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tekkaman Rapier ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Choose to defeat Radam during Chapter 49's split and Rapier will automatically join on Chapter 52. ~~~~~~~~~~ Mazinger Z ~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks to KillerMel for this info: -Take the Paris route on Chapter 36, and be sure to blow up Ankoku Daishogun with Mazinkaiser on Chapter 38. At the beGINNing of the stage you won't have access to Kouji due to story purposes, so you can blow Daishogun up the first time with whomever. He'll regain full health again and Mazinkaiser will show up. Just make sure Kouji deals the final blow on him this time and you'll receive Mazinger Z afterwards. ~~~~~~~~~ Bonta-kun ~~~~~~~~~ -Whenever Bonta-kun's available, try to use it and boost its kills over 10. It'll be available after Chapter 46. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IWSP Add-on For Strike ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Make sure Cagalli's kills are over 5 when she first appears, the add- on will be available after Chapter 46. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EDF Solid Armor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Get Yoko's kills over 10 whenever you get a chance to use her, the unit will be unlocked after Chapter 46. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lightning Strike's Parts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Get Mu's kills over 10 in part 1 of the game whenever you get to use him, it'll become available after Chapter 46. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hyperion Gundam ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Choose to stop the battle in Plant after Chapter 49, in Chapter 50, reduce Hyperion's HP below 50%, fight Canard with Kira once, and destroy it using Prayer. Hyperion and Canard will be available at the end of Chapter 52. 4. Money Trick This isn't a secret really. If you picked the Mazinger route before chapter 11, then you'll have the chance to collect some free cash in the upcoming stage. This is how it works: When Mazinkaiser shows up, avoid depleting its HP down to 30% as instructed in the mission objective. Instead, move all your units to the Photon Research Lab and stuff either a thick armored unit or a unit with high evasion for Mazinkaiser to aim. Place a unit with repair ability close by just in case. The terrain bonus here should replenish your HP every turn, thereby making whoever the punching bag for Mazinkaiser practically invincible. When that's taken care of, direct the rest of your units' attacks at Ashura's mothership. If your Will's already at 150, destroying it should take no more than 3 hits. Doing so will grant you $6000 and a bunch of exp; but Ashura doesn't give up, his/her HP refills back and you'll have the opportunity to pound again for more money and exp. As long as your patient, you'll eventually get maxed out money. ======= 6. FAQs ======= 1. Any chance of this coming to North America? A: Very unlikely due to licensing issues of various animes. 2. Where can I find the ro-...? A: Just buy the game. 3. How come the protagonist doesn't change his machine? A: Because his machine can fuse with others for something new. 4. What things are carried over when you start a new game+? A: Money, total BP (used & remaining) for each character, mecha units' upgrades and learned skills through skill parts; chips and parts are not carried over, instead they are converted to money. =================== 7.
