STRATEGIES: 1) Make Zeora the leader of the Arad-Zeora Squad. For each squad, have a member cast "accelerate". Attack the Grap at your 1st turn. 2) Ignore Kamiyu when he attacks. Keep on defending. Counterattacking is futile because only Yazan has "lock on". 3) Ignore Emma in the Gundam mk II. First of all she's so far away. Secondly, she's near Kamiyu. Thirdly, Kamiyu can snipe you with his Zeta by the time Emma comes near. So forget killing her or you'll kill yourself. 4) Fa can be killed easily in her Metas. Use either Heero or Arad to kill her. No brainer defeating this chick. 5) Kou's a bit challenging since he can dodge well. Have Heero attack him first and cast "concentrate" if necessary. Remember that Wufei must support him at all costs (that means executing the Squad Attack). Use Heero to kill him (because Arad's using a Zaku II which isn't too good in offense). 6) To gain the skill point easily, make sure Heero constantly attacks the Grap and once Yazan and co. is close, keep on attacking it. No special strategy needed. However, use Heero to destroy the Grap, because he has the "Extreme Luck" ability and his White Taurus' Beam Cannon is the strongest weapon for the moment (don't expect to do much damage with Arad in his Zaku II). SCENARIO 2 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies within 6 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) Make Zeora the squad leader. Her leadership bonus is +1 to weapon range. 2) Have Yazan's squad cast "accelerate" to move fast. Others follow as normal. 3) Killing Bate: Use Zeora-Arad Squad. Most likely you will get attacked first. Make sure you counterattack using Zeora (assuming you made her Squad leader). No special strategies needed for him. However, on your own turn, make Arad the squad leader before killing him (because his leadership bonus is +20% to EXP and money received). 4) Killing Adel: Use Heero and Yazan Squad. Yazan only should attack (not the entire squad). Then when Adel attacks Yazan, dodge or support defend. On your next turn, use Heero to kill him. 5) The Albion as well as Monsha will retreat later, so don't force yourself to reach them. New enemy forces will arrive, but they are still easy so kill them as usual. Remember you need to destroy every enemy within 6 turns so make use of the squad attack, and please take note of Heero's "Extreme Luck" ability and Arad's leadership bonus. Use these 2 often to kill them. SCENARIO 3 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies within your 3rd turn. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, change the pilot-robot roster. You will get the GP-01Fb and the Zaku II Kai in your party. Put Kou in the GP-01Fb and put Burning on the GP-03 Stamen. Put Monsha or anyone in Burning's GM Custom. Fa should be on her own squad. Set Kou, Kamiyu and Burning as squad leaders. Put Emma under Kamiyu's squad. The rest, you decide how to form them. 2) Heero Squad will auto-sortie so don't bother changing them. 3) To get the skill point easily, just quickly spread out your squads. Make sure to counterattack all the time. The more damage you inflict, the better. 4) Once all enemies are destroyed, Yazan appears in the Salamis, destroy all enemies. Ramsus and Dangel are easy to beat using Kamiyu and Kou, but just take some time to cast "concentrate" if you think you can't hit them. Whatever you do, leave Zeora and Yazan alive. When you damage Yazan or Zeora an event will take place and the mission will end. SCENARIO 4 SKILL POINT: Destroy the Samus Giri (Jire's mothership). STRATEGIES: 1) You will encounter your first F-91 enemies. Nothing special in here except the fact that the Crossbone Gundam allies led by Kinkedo will still be silhoutted even though you already know them. You will be able to use them, so use them to their fullest extent. Arad sorties in the Huckebine mk III so use him to kill lots of enemies (you need his leadership bonus and ability combined to gain lotsa moolah). 2) A few turns later, Bugs (those flying buzz saw thingies) will arrive, and lots of them too. Not to worry, because they are easily destroyed due to their low HP and armor rating. No special strategies needed. Just kill them as you approach them (or as they approach you). However, it's best that Arad kills most, if not all of them (since the Crossbone guys will leave after the scenario's over). 3) Destroying the Samus Giri is a piece of crumb cake. You don't even need Arad in his Huckebine mk III to defeat it. Just use Albion to snipe it using its powerful Mega Particle Cannons, and pulverize it more using Zeta Gundam and GP-03 Stamen. The best person to destroy that mothership is Heero, again due to his "Extreme Luck" ability, which yields more money per kill. As you kill him, you earn a skill point. 4) IMPORTANT NOTE: Before you destroy the Samus Giri, you must be sure to have killed all enemies, including the bugs. Otherwise, if you destroy the Samus Giri, all remaining soldiers and bugs will retreat. SCENARIO 5 SKILL POINT: Kill Milliard or drain his Tallgeese III's HP to 2000 or less. 1) Make sure Heero reaches the Musaka (RED mothership) within 2 turns or it's game over. This is quite easy to accomplish. Have Wufei cast "accelerate" and move in quick. You will be blocked by 2 Zakus though, but it isn't much of a problem, just kill them quick (oh and your White Taurus has to be in MS mode, not MA mode, so you could execute the Beam Cannon after moving). 2) Although Cima is at the northern end of the map, you will never reach her. Don't even waste your time doing it because you won't be given a chance. Just put Heero beside that red Musaka, and an event takes place. The G-Wing Boys will finally get their respective Gundams, and Milliard will appear in his Tallgeese III as an enemy, not as an ally. 3) Milliard's soldiers are composed of CCA units, namely Geara Dogas. They are quite strong in the offensive, so beware when they start hurling the 2 grenades at you. If they attack you by squad, then defend if you think you can't dodge well (so far, the only ones who are decent in dodging at this point would be Kamiyu, Kou and Heero). During your turn kill as many of these as possible while staying out of Milliard's attack range. To do that you have to bait them to come near to you. It's not really a hard thing. Just give them nothing to target and they will come closer to you. 4) Milliard ain't hard, but ain't easy either. He can do one-hit kills with his Heat Rod if you're not careful. Here's a tip: if he attacks, don't counter- attack. Just defend/guard. The reason for that is because you will have a hard time dodging him and most of the time, his attacks will connect (and kill you). It's a good time to forget your pride and cast "lock on" or "concentrate" before attacking him. If you want to save on your Seishin, save your game at the beginning of your turn, then attack him and watch if it connects, hits him, and you dodge. If not, then you reload and try. This method is often effective, but it's very time consuming, annoying and even impractical. Just get ahead with it and cast the spells anyway. With his HP down to 2100 or 2200, have Heero and Wufei close in. Have Heero cast "concentrate" while Wufei casts "lock on". Attack Milliard using Wing 0 Custom's Beam Sabre supported by Wufei's Nataku Custom's signature attack, the Dragon Fang. This will destroy the Tallgeese III to smithereens. Oh, don't forget to have Quatre cast "bless" on Heero while Keith (the 0083 guy wearing glasses in the GM Cannon) should cast "aid" on him. SCENARIO 6 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies within 7 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, you will now have 8 squads. Arrange them to your liking, but always leave one squad vacant for Fa alone since she's the only healer you have right now. 2) Daitarn-3, Daimos and ReGZ auto-sortie in the map. You'll lose the scenario if Daimos is destroyed. Not really hard, and not really special. Kazuya's morale will auto-raise to 150 so it's easier for you. Keep your grunt units out of the way if you want to level up your super robots, or if you want them to gain morale fast to execute their final wazas. 3) Tip: Kenichi has the "Kiryouku Damage" ability, so in order to gain morale faster, whenever Voltes-V is attacked, defend or counterattack with weaker weapons. However, Daimos' morale is already 150, so I guess you can have them all to Voltes-V if you want. Don't let any of the Voltes team cast any spells. Save them for later. Believe me you will need it. 4) Richter is very easy, for a starter. All you need to do is to make Daimos execute a few San Ryu Kun attacks until his Garnroll's HP is 5000 or less. When that happens, have cast "bless" and "aid" on Kazuya, then have him execute the Reppu Seken Tsuki on Richter. Take note that Daimos WILL BE DAMAGED A LOT. You will need to heal him later. 5) Belgan is not too hard, but he ain't easy either. The reason is that he's cheesy. Remember to guard whenever he executes the Skullrook's Giant Drill BECAUSE IT WILL REALLY HURT. You can't snipe him that much either, else he'll execute the Skullrook's eye missiles or forehead lasers. The best tactic against him is to be aggressive and smash him fast with your super robots. Most likely if Voltes-V is on range, he will attack him, so take this as an opportunity to boost Voltes-V's morale. Don't even attempt to make Burning shoot his way in. The reason is that Skullrook's projectile attacks are usually "ALL" type, meaning it targets the entire squad. Sure Burning is good in dodging, but his other companions may not. You will just get them killed. Once Belgan's HP is down to less than 6000, have the Voltes team cast the necessary spells, and destroy the Skullrook using Chodenji Ball V No Jigiri. Dead. SCENARIO 7 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies before draining Southern Jupiter's HP to 1000 or lower. STRATEGIES: 1) Daitarn-3 and Crossbone Gundam mechs will auto-sortie. Sabine and Kinkedo are in one squad. Destroy any units that are close by. No need for special strategies to kill them since they are too easy. However, you may want to have Daitarn-3 kill most of them. It needs the morale to execute Sun Attack. 2) Before you sortie your squads, make sure most of your squad leaders have the leadership bonus of +20% money gained per kill. Arad and Heero should be squad leaders, and make sure Monsha (that 0083 guy with a brown mustache who rides a GM Custom) is a member of Arad's squad. He has the seishin "luck", and coupling that with Arad's money-gathering abilities and bonuses will make you rich in no time at all. 3) Once you sortie, your mission objective is to drain the Southern Jupiter's HP to 10000 or less. You will lose if Mother Vanguard is destroyed. In case you don't know, the Southern Jupiter is that wrench-like colony. You won't be able to blow it up so don't even try. The pilot of the Southern Jupiter ain't really good in targeting so he ain't very threatening. However, you will need to gain lots of money in this scenario. Since Bella's leadership bonus is +20% to money received, have your Crossbone mechs weaken any enemy close to the Mother Vanguard, and have Bella kill them. 4) You will receive the F-91 later, so during the intermission, give it to Kamiyu (right now he's your best Newtype who can use F-91's MEPE attack). As for his Zeta, give it to Four or Rue instead. SCENARIO 8 SKILL POINT: Destroy the Skullrook or drain its HP to 6000 or less. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, make sure to upgrade Voltes-V's armor as well as its EN (but not much on its EN). However, you need to upgrade Mother Vanguard's EN to 308 and install a Propellant Tank. If you still have some moolah left, you may or may not upgrade Voltes-V's weapons by 1 or 2 slots. As you start the scenario, make sure you deploy Mother Vanguard as the mothership. Make sure that it has some Propellant Tanks installed so it could replenish its EN if ever its runs out. 2) The scenario is composed of Voltes-V enemies, which is the reason why you should add some beefers to Voltes-V. Remember that Voltes-V takes in more morale if it gets damaged, so keep on counterattacking with weak attacks and just heal him using Fa's Metas later. You will reach full morale in no time to fight Belgan in the Skullrook. 3) Tip: like scenario 6, get Voltes-V attacked and damaged to raise its morale faster. Of course, you have to kill some enemies too, but save that for Mother Vanguard. You must get Bella to have a morale of 130 or higher, which isn't too hard. One advantage of Bella killing enemies is that her leadership bonus gives +20% to money, which is a good thing. 4) Once you are able to get both Voltes-V and Mother Vanguard ready with their respective pilots to the necessary morale (Kenichi 140 and Bella 130), you may now start on attacking the bosses. Remember the tip against Belgan in scenario 6. He's cheesier than ever and will always use ALL type attacks on any squad he targets (which is why I hate him, even in the anime). An additinal tip is while you're fighting, position Voltes-V beside the Skullrook and position Mother Vanguard beside Voltes-V. When the Skullrook's HP is 8000 or less, cast the necessary spells. Destroy it using Voltes-V's Chodenji Ball V No Jigiri supported with Mother Vanguard's Totsugeki (its strongest 4000-power attack). The reason for using this combo is to make the scenario easier so you won't need to calculate who needs to support Voltes-V. Remember that 6000 is the cut-off HP and Voltes-V can do around 5000 or less damage, depending if its weapons are unupgraded or not. Using Mother Vanguard's Totsugeki ensures you that you will deal more than 6000 damage, and investing on kills for Bella is good too, again because of her leadership ability of +20% to moolah. 5) Even though Richter is easy to beat, beware his Garnroll's beam attacks because it's an ALL type attack, meaning it targets the entire squad. You can easily have some grunt units killed if you're not careful. By now, Heero must have the Zero System activated. Use Daimos to beat the sissy out of Richter using Reppu Seken Tsuki and other attacks. Although it's cool if Daimos is the one who destroys him, it's best if you let Heero drop the axe because of his ability. All you have to do is have Fa cast "bless" on Heero and execute the Double Buster Rifle when the Garnroll's HP is 3000 or less. SCENARIO 9 SKILL POINT: Destroy Crossbone Gundam X2. STRATEGIES: 1) I won't spoil it for you, but anyone who played G-Gene games or read the Crossbone Gundam manga will know why you need to destroy it. Anyway a series of events will take place and Tovia will be usable for the first time. You will lose the scenario if he's killed. 2) The skill point is not worth getting in this scenario. However, if you are really into getting it, make sure your position Kinkedo's squad in position #10 or 5 as you sortie them (since 10 and 5 are closest to Sabine). Once you sortie, have Mother Vanguard and the rest of your party cast the spell "accelerate" and move in as close to Sabine as possible. As for Tovia, attack him using the Shot Lancer, then chase him while attacking him with the machine guns. Take note that sometimes, your attacks will miss, and Sabine will always defend and won't counterattack, that's why he's just plain annoying. Also, remember that if you are close to Sabine and you can attack him, even if it's a weak attack, DO IT AND ATTACK HIM WITH IT. Also remember to cast "concentrate" and "lock on" before attacking. He's tricky. 3) The Jupiter Empire arrive in a few turns, and y'muy terrible. Giri, Burns and Rosemary are all in one squad and THEY CAN SNIPE! Although you there are no problems on defeating the soldiers, defeating the Giri trio will be a bit of a challenge. The way to defeat them is to kill them ONE BY ONE. 4) Amongst the 3, Burns is the easiest, and he's the tanker, so go kick his behind first. Since his longest range is just 5, you can easily snipe him. Even if you don't snipe him, you don't need to cast that many spells to destroy him since he ain't that good in dodging anyway. Just remember that when you attack Giri's squad, choose "single unit attack" and target Pans' Mobile Suit first. Bella in her Mother Vanguard can do a 100% hit using Totsugeki and Pete can do 75% or so with Daiku Maryu's Bighorn. Just kill him like you would any tank boss and he'll go down. 5) Next is the purple-haired Rosemary. She can dodge like hell, but her needle cannons suck so don't worry too much on her attacking you. Killing her will require you to cast some spells. You may have to let Pete cast "lock on" before you attack her using the Bighorn or have Bella cast "Concentrate" before attacking her using Totsugeki (sometimes she'll miss so always save before you start your turn). When Rosemary's 9000-HP mech is critical, you can have anyone with the "concentrate" or "lock on" spells kill her, preferably Arad for his leadership bonus/ability or use Heero for his "Extreme Luck" ability. 6) Finaly, Giri is left. Now that she's alone, she has become extremely easy. Just cook her using the final wazas of your super robots and remember to cast "lock on" because it is needed to hit her. Once her HP is critical at around 4000 or so, use the Voltes team to cast the necessary spells and destroy her using Voltes-V's Chodenji Ball V No Jigiri. SCENARIO 10 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies. STRATEGIES: 1) Start the scenario as Tovia in Crossbone Gundam X2 and Judo in ZZ Gundam. Your mission objective is to reach that blinking white square at the map (the one that looks like a space vent located at the center of 4 red circle objects) This scenario is going to take time to accomplish so head on forward to that spot (there is only one pathway to it anyway). Ignore the other soldier that is behind you, so keep on going forward and pummel the enemies as you meet them. Take note that although Tovia and Judo are good in dodging, they can only take 1 attack. The 2nd attack will be fatal except if you defend/guard. Refrain from having Tovia take any damage since Crossbone Gundam X2 can't fly. ZZ Gundam however can convert to G-Fortress so if its HP and EN levels are dry, you can take him to one of those nearby red circlular charging things to recover ZZ Gundam's HP & EN. Here's a tip on Tovia: his melee power is higher so don't bother executing the Zanbuster or the Long Range Launcher. Besides, you'll need the bullets later. 2) Later, the Puru twins and Judo's pals will arrive to help you out. The big problem is, they are near Rosary! So go forward and take them on, nice and slow. Remember you need to take out the soldier squad first (snipe them if you have to). Make sure both Quebeleys can execute the Funnels (to do that Puru and Puru Two need to have a morale of 105, which is easy to do). Remember that it's game over if even one of your allies get killed. Bleh. 3) Rosemary is going to be tricky because you get no more reinforcements after all this. I managed to find a way to defeat this witch without much worry. To do so, use Puru or Puru Two and execute the Funnel AT ONE OF HER SOLDIER companions. Yes, you read right. Attack one of her soldiers, so don't do a squad attack. Once you do so, Rosemary will support defend her soldiers, so she takes a chunk of damage from your Funnels. You may have to kill one of her soldiers though so that it's only her and one soldier left. Rinse and repeat the process until her HP is 2000 or low. By then Tovia and Judo will be near her. Have Tovia cast "lock on" and slash her with the Beam Zanber to kill her easily. Not bad if I should say so myself. 4) The scenario is not over though. With the Quebeleys badly damaged, you should get them to one of those red recharging things. Only ZZ Gundam and the 2 Quebeleys can recharge, again because they could fly. Now once they are brought to full HP and EN, proceed to your destination. Problem is when you are near, Pans comes out in the destination spot with 2 squads. Since there is no alternative, you have no choice but to force your way out and fight him head on. 5) The key to defeating Pans is by sniping him. His farthest range is 5, so you shoot him from afar using all of your units except ZZ Gundam. Hyaku Shiki can snipe using its Mega Bazooka Launcher, Super Gundam can snipe using its Long Beam Rifle, and the Puru Twins can snipe using their funnels. Just keep on sniping him, then once his HP is down, bring Judo in for the kill and use Hi-Mega Cannon on him (cast "Luck" if you can). Remember that sniping him doesn't mean they will connect. Although Pans is dumb at dodging, he can still dodge the Mega Bazooka Launcher and some of the Funnels if you're not careful. Also keep in mind that Crossbone Gundam X2's Launcher has only 3 bullets, so if you followed my advice earlier, you would have all 3 now. SCENARIO 11 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies within 7 turns. STRATEGIES; 1) An event happens as Tovia and Arad are in one squad against Monsha in the GP-02. Nothing special except that they are a bit far away from the enemies. 2) After GP-02's HP is down to critical, Yazan, Dangel and Ramsus sortie in their signature Hambrabis. They are very easy so just snipe them using Heero or smack them using Synapse's Albion (cast "lock on" and fire Mega Particle Cannon at them). Keep on using ALL-type attacks to damage entire squads, meaning use ZZ Gundam's Hi-Mega Cannon, Hyaku Shiki's Mega Bazooka Launcher, etc. If Judo can cast "luck", do so, and have Keith cast "aid" on him so that once he kills Yazan, Dangel or Ramsus, his entire squad gets a big chunk of EXP. No challenge here. SCENARIO 12 SKILL POINT: Destroy 17 units within 7 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, arrange your squads strategically. Seperate Puru and Puru Two in different squads (so you can execute the Funnels two times). Your mission objective is to survive 7 turns of CCA hell. This stage will really try your patience. The Geara Dogas are extremely annoying. They will often hit you, so always remember that most of the time, Mobile Suits can take only 1 attack, and will die if they get hit on the 2nd attack. 2) You will never be able to defeat Nanai on her 95000-HP Leoroula, so don't bother attacking her either. Take extra care of the other motherships, because their Mega Particle Cannons are ALL-type attacks. The soldiers you can defeat easily, but remember to constantly use squad attacks to drain kill them faster. Remember you only have 7 turns to kill all of them, and you need to kill 17 to gain the skill point. Nanai's Leoroula has 2 soldier companions, so remember to destroy them too (if you are lazy or just out of time, execute an ALL-type attack against her, using Mother Vanguard's own Mega Particle Cannon, etc. Personally, the skill point is not worth getting so it's up to you to decide whether you want to claim it or not. 3) Rezun in her own Customized Geara Doga is a lot easier than she was in Impact. However, you have to be careful because she has skills that will improve her combat performance once she reaches 130 morale. If you want to finish her off quick, do so using your super robots, preferably, Daimos or Daitarn-3 (and do cast "lock on" before attacking her). You will need Voltes-V, Huckebine mk III, ZZ Gundam and Wing 0 Custom on the motherships because they have the means to gain much money by casting "luck" or they have the "Extreme Luck" ability. Again, be careful of the motherships' Mega Particle Cannons. Tip: to avoid them, attack them in point blank range, meaning attack them while you're directly beside them. This is a good time to use your Crossbone Gundams. 4) Later, that Rec Comet Char will arrive in a 98000-HP Sazabi. Again, you will never be able to defeat him, so don't bother attacking him too. Besides, whenever he attacks, he uses Funnels, which is an ALL-type attack and are considered one-hit kills unless you guard/defend. Therefore, ignore him and keep on healing characters that he attacked, because most likely he will attack them again. 5) After your 7th turn, the scenario ends, so make sure you wrap up everything and managed to kill all enemies except Char and Nanai. SCENARIO 13 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies within 6 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) Brain Powered units make their debut. Daimos auto-sorties so make sure to upgrade its armor a bit. Sortie your squads as normal. 2) Razze's Brain Powered squad will come to assist you, so use them to your advantage. They can fly and can reach Daimos faster than your other squads (if they can't fly that is, because the battle takes place on water). 3) Although Brain Powered units are easy to beat, they are still annoying. Jonathan and Sheila are good in dodging and you need to have Kazuya cast "lock on" and do Reppu Seken Tsuki to beat them up. 4) After turn 6, all alive Brain Powered enemies will retreat and Liza's Bahm forces arrive, with Harleck doing a one on one match against Kazuya's Daimos. A set of choices will be given, but I picked choice #2. Although Harleck is easy to beat, dont kill him yet because once you do, all surviving Bahm units, including Liza, will retreat. Therefore, make sure you kill all enemies before killing Harleck. After all, everyone is easy so there is no need for special strategies. Just watch out for Liza's Garnroll beams for it targets the entire squad. Again, please remember to cast "luck" or "bless" before killing her. She's worth a ton of EXP. SCENARIO 14 SKILL POINT: Destroy all units before destroying Kelnagle's ship. STRATEGIES: 1) To win, destroy Kelnagle's ship. Simple and easy. You will start the stage with Goodthunder, then Goshogun sorties. A few turns later, Mazinger-Z, Diana-A and Combattler V arrive to help you. Conserve your EN. You will lose the scenario if Goodthunder or Goshogun is destroyed. 2) Shingo has the "Kiryoku Damage" ability, so make sure that whenever you get damaged, you counterattack with weak attacks or you can just kill the Snipers in the little orange ships. Make sure Mazinger-Z activates it Mazin Power to increase its damaging capablities. Sayaka has "bless", so if you can cast it on anyone, then do so before killing the beast fighters. 3) Beware of Kelnagle's charge attack. He can cut down your super robots with just 2 blows. He will either attack Goshogun or Goodthunder, so defend. Remember to shoot him down fast by making Mazinger-Z execute the Breast Fire often (making sure that Mazin Power is activated). It's best if the one who kills Kelnagle is Goshogun. With Shingo's morale at 150, and Kelnagle's HP down to 4000 or less, cast "luck" and destroy his ship using GoFlasher. SCENARIO 15 SKILL POINT: Arad reaches the white blinking squad within 5 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) Brain Powered scenario. Hime gets her own Brain Unit. You will lose the scenario if she dies, so stay away from Yuu and all enemies. On turn 2, your allies arrive and Arad auto-sorties. Your mission is to reach the designated point (the blinking square in the center of 4 small buildings/houses. Reach it within 5 turns to get the skill point. 2) Canan and Yuu will escape once their HP is down to critical. Tip: have ypir squads move fast to enemies. Cast "accelerate" often. As for Egger who's in the other end of the map, you can take him down easily using Daimos (the reason is because you're in a hurry). Kazuya's spells are cheap to cast so you can execute Reppu Seken Tsuki after a few turns and casting "charge" twice. Anyway, defeating Egger is a no-brainer. Just have Kazuya cast "lock on", execute Reppu Seken Tsuki, and he's dead. The soldiers, you decide how to get rid of them. But it's best if the one who kills them is any character with the "Extreme Luck" ability. KILL AS MANY AS YOU CAN WITHIN 5 TURNS. The reason for this aggressiveness is up next. 3) Once you let Arad reach that point, the scenario ends. Luckily, Brain Powered units have low armor rating, so you can kick their behinds easily. Just take the tip by casting "accelerate" and reach the enemies as fast as you can so you can have more time on killing them. Remember that they are annoying because they can dodge good, but hitting them is like instant kill. SCENARIO 16 SKILL POINT: Destroy Beaundore's ship. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, make sure that the squads that have Daimos, Voltes-V or Daitarn-3 are in all have FLYING units. That way, the squad can fly. As you start the scenario, pick Mother Vanguard as the mothership. 2) GaoGaiGar debut. You can't defeat the EI-02 yet, so dont even think about it. Just keep on defending since GaiGar's armor is low. Hime and the Brain Powered guys will come out to help. Avoid the Zonder's attacks at all costs. Wait for the event. After the CG event of the Final Fusion, use the Brain Powered squad to attack the EI-02 with a squad attack. Afterwards, have Hime cast "Aid" on Gai (don't bother casting "bless" on him)and finally use GaoGaiGar and execute Hell and Heaven to finally kill the Zonder. The reason to not cast "bless" on Gai is because you'll only get 10 money for beating the insides out of that Zonder. 3) Later, another event happens and Gai exits the map. Beaundore arrives to mess you up with his narcissistic charm (and he has a funny leadership bonus too). Goshogun and Goodthunder will arrive to help you out. Note, if the Goodthunder is destroyed, game over. Remember to build Shingo's morale so that Goshogun can execute the GoFlasher. Keep on defending and take advantage of Shingo's "Kiryouku Damage" ability so that he gets more morale after getting hit. Also, build up Bella's morale up to 130 so that means Mother Vanguard should keep on destroying enemies. 4) Fighting Beaundore is a very pleasant experience (really). Whenever you attack him, the game plays that famous classical music (I can't remember what sonata, title or composer is but it's very famous). Be warned: his Flahser Beam is an ALL-type attack can will kill an entire squadron in one hit if you're not careful. He can also snipe using missiles (so if you plan to snipe him using Heero, cast "concentrate" or "flash"). IMPORTANT NOTE: He retreats at 7000 HP so make sure all enemies are killed before attempting to kill him, because if he is defeated or retreats, all surviving enemies will retreat. You can easily defeat him using Goshogun's GoFlasher (with Shingo having a morale of 150) supported by Mother Vanguard's Totsugeki. No matter what, you will have to use Mother Vanguard as your supporting unit. That's why I told you to arrange your super robots to squads that will make them fly. Since Mother Vanguard flies, if Daimos' squad has at least one member who can't fly, Daimos can't fly. I made that mistake as I played this scenario, and luckily I managed to kill him with Goshogun-Mother Vanguard combo. You can use this combo even if Beaundore's HP is 8500 or lower. SCENARIO 17 SKILL POINT: Destroy the Skullrook or drain its HP to 5000 or less. STRATEGIES: 1) During intermission, set Amuro's MP Nu-Gundam to Funnel Type (F) instead of Incom type (I). As you start the scenario, choose Mother Vanguard as your mothership. Set Voltes-V squad as an all-flyer squad, meaning all squad members should be able to fly. 2) Belgan appears with his Boazan forces to attack you. Destroy all opponents to win. It's not that hard. Now that you have better units, the Skullrook isn't much of a threat as it was in the previous scenarios. 3) Enryu and Houryu will sortie. If any of them get killed, game over. They are good in dodging, so don't worry about them that much against the other beast fighters that are set to attack them. They can really take care of themselves. Just cast the necessary spells if you think they're troubled. 4) Belgan is virtually easy to beat. The key to defeating him is to snipe him, so use Wing 0 Custom, Amuro's MP Nu Gundam (Funnel Type), the two Quebeley's Funnels, heck even Goshogun's GoFlasher (to eat up lotsa HP). When the Skullrook's HP is down to 6000, you can easily kill him using Voltes-V supported by Mother Vanguard (if Voltes-V can fly that is that's why reset your Voltes-V squad as mentioned earlier). 5) Later the EI-07 comes out. Your mission objective is to defeat it specifically using GaoGaiGar's Hell and Heaven. Use anyone to attack it, and and event takes place. Enryu and Houryu combine to become Choryujin. If GaoGaiGar or Chouryujin is destroyed, or if GaoGaiGar does not use Hell and Heaven to destroy EI-07 or if anyone else but Gai destroys EI-07, game over. 6) EI-07 is too easy. Simply snipe him using any Mobile Suit you have. Wing 0 Custom, MP Nu-Gundam (Funnel Type), Hyaku Shiki... or even Goshogun. When its HP is 5000 or so, cast "Aid" on GaoGaiGar (again, dont bother casting "bless" on him) and attack using Hell and Heaven. Scenario end. SCENARIO 18 SKILL POINT: Defeat Jonathan within turn 8. STRATEGIES: 1) Yuu and Hime auto-sorties (which means she's out of any squad you put her in). Enryu and Houryu also auto-sortie. Destroy all enemies to win, and if Yuu, Hime, Enryu or Houryu get killed, game over. 2) Watch the event. Immediately afterwards, save your game, have Hime cast "bless" on Yuu and have someone cast "aid" on him as well. Make Yuu cast "concentrate" then attack Sheila's squad using your new Synchro-attack, the Chakra Extension. With much luck, all of them will get hit and will die at one shot and you will gain lotsa money and EXP. 3) Once all enemies are defeated, Jonathan, Egger and their forces arrive. To get the SP, defeat Jonathan within turn 8. Don't kill Jonathan while other enemies are alive or they will all retreat. Egger is easy, as usual. Even with Chakra Shield protection, you can still kill him with one Reppu Sekken Tsuki (just cast "lock on"). Kill all the soldiers using Chakra Extension if necessary (it's an ALL-type attack). Jonathan will require you to use the "lock on" spell to kill him. So deplete his HP with any character that has the "lock on" spell, then defeat him using Goshogun, Daitarn-3, Voltes-V or Daimos, and make sure to cast "aid" and "bless" on them as necessary. SCENARIO 19 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies before destroying Ikima's Yamadanorochi . STRATEGIES: 1) Bigshooter auto-sorties in the scenario. It's Miwa against 2 Haniwa Genins. You will lose the scenario if the Bigshooter is destroyed or if any enemy touches the Buildbase. Later, Jeeg will appear and you will get another CG animation. Destroy all enemies to win, but you will lose if Bigshooter or Jeeg are destroyed. 2) Once destroying all enemies, Combattler-V, Mazinger-Z squad and Black Getter squad will appear to help. Ikima also appears in his mothership, the Yamadanorochi. He'll also have lots of Haniwa Genins tagged along so be prepared to play with them. Conserve Jeeg's EN by not executing the Jeeg Breaker often. The reason is Jeeg can't fly and therefore can't recharge his HP/EN on the Buildbase. 3) The Haniwa Genins attack in squads, so take extra care when you're being attacked, especially Jeeg, who has low armor rating and even lower HP. The best tactic is to attack each squad member by member, and make sure you don't destroy them. Once the entire squad members' HPs are critical, have Michiru cast "bless" and Miwa cast "aid" on Jeeg, then have Jeeg execute the Spin Storm against said squad. The reason for this is Jeeg has the "Extreme Luck" ability. If the attack kills the entire squad, you gain loads of money and EXP, and Miwa can learn the seishin "flash" if the EXP gained are high. You can't do this often though, but you can make Michiru cast "bless" more than twice since she has the SP recover ability. 4) Beware, Haniwa Genins will go to the Buildbase directly and will usually ignore you. Don't let them go near anywhere the Buildbase! If you must, execute your strong attacks just to kill anyone who is close by! Better waste a few ENs here and there than a game over. Black Getter can fly, so use the Getta Strangle often, then when you run out of EN, you can always go on top of the Buildbase to recharge your HP/EN. 5) Although you need to be careful of Yamadanorochi's fire attacks, you can easily beat him up if Mazinger-Z has Mazin Power activated. Technically, one Chodenji Spin, one Breast Fire, one Getta Strangle and a few Jeeg Bazookas are enough to take down Ikima. Remember that Michiru has SP recover so dont be afraid to spend a little more SPs than usual. Both Michiru and Sayaka have "bless". An extra tip: if he attacks Jeeg, defend. Don't counterattack. You won't want to risk getting killed even if your dodge rate is 20%. SCENARIO 20 SKILL POINT: Destroy the Skullrook. STRATEGIES: 1) Nana auto-sorties in the Galba FX II. You'll lose the scenario if she's killed, so stay away from all enemies and wait for Daimos to come out. Also it's best not to use her kill anyone, because she doesn't get any pilot points. When Daimos comes, an event happens. Lose the scenario if both Galba FX II and Daimos are destroyed. Fight until your allies arrive. Remember, whatever you do, DON'T CAST ANY SEISHIN/PSYCHO SPELLS. More later. Note: make sure you sortie Michiru Saotome in the Lady Command. 2) Sortie your party as normal. Daiku Maryu auto-sorties, so pick your other mothership (Mother Vanguard is ok, due to the fact that the enemies are Super Robot types and Bella's leadership bonus yields 20% more money per kill she makes). Lose the scenario if one of your motherships are destroyed. 3) Later Liza executes a device that disables your usage of Seishins/Psycho Spells as well as decreasing your morale to 70. But it's not much of a big deal since you can still do decent damage even at 70 morale. However, don't crash in on the enemies because they come in large groups and will kill you easily if you don't dodge or your armor rating is low. 4) On your next turn, an event happens and Seishin/Psycho Spell usage will be enabled and your morale will be put back to 100. Harleck comes out in the Beast Fighter Krine, and your new mission objective is to decrease its HP to 1000 or less within 3 turns. You will lose if you destroy the Krine, if Daimos is destroyed or if one of your motherships are destroyed. Krine is not hard, but rather annoying. After every turn it teleports out of the way and so you're going to have to restretch your efforts to damage it. 5) Krine is a virtually easy opponent, but it gets annoying when you figure out that your attacks are too strong. Sometimes you may make a mistake in your weapon calculations, so that's why you're advised to bring out Michiru in the Lady Command. Her Vulcan weapon can deal 950 something damage so you can't make that big a mistake. So to get rid of Krine bombard him with any of your allies, taking note of its HP. When its HP is around 1800 or 1700, bring Michiru beside it and execute the Vulcans to dispatch it. Take note that you must have killed some of the enemy forces. Once it is defeated, all surviving enemies will escape. 6) Destroying the Skullrook is extremely difficult, if not impossible. I personally discourage you from getting the skill point in this scenario because you're running out of time. However if you still insist, just make sure that your Super Robots are nearest to the Skullrook when you sortie them (they must sortie nearthe front/tip of the Daimobeak). Keep on beating it up with their weapons. It's also best if you used Goshogun's Space Bazooka and Wing 0 Custom's Double Buster Rifle to weaken it before actually killing it. Forget Jeeg because its Jeeg Breaker can't hit flying enemies. SCENARIO 21 SKILL POINT: Clear the scenario within 8 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) Enryu, Houryu, Volfogg and Gai in his GaiGar auto-sortie. Various mechs from robot series duke out in a team battle. Destroy all of them in any way you can, since they are just AIs and are not that difficult. However, you will lose if Gai or Volfogg are destroyed (watch out they have low armor rating even if they can dodge ok). Also take note that your chosen mothership won't be able to move. 2) An event will take place and Gai will be able to form GaoGaiGar. However the EI-15 also comes out. Additional battle limitations: you will lose the scenario if you let GaoGaiGar use Hell and Heaven. The EI-15 is actually very easy and you don't need any special strategies to beat him. Jeeg and Mazinger-Z are enough to take this guy down. Just make sure that when you destroy him, don't bother casting "luck" or "bless". You will only get 10 credits. Just do experience gathering spells like "great effort" and "aid". The ones best in destroying the EI-15 are those whose leadership bonuses give +20% on EXP, such as Kou or Arad. 3) This is where it gets difficult. You must destroy all enemies AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. Meaning, you must destroy all units, including EI-15. Apparently beating them is not hard, it's the time limit. When you defeat the EI-15, an event will take place and the EI-20 will sortie, and it will cause your entire party to stop moving and attacking FOR TWO TURNS. Therefore, you will waste 2 turns, and that means you only have 6 turns to destroy all enemies including the EI-20. Repeat: DESTROY ALL ENEMIES AS FAST AS YOU CAN. After 2 turns of being paralyzed by the EI-20, Goldimarg will sortie and join GaoGaiGar as a squad member. Again, the losing limitations change. If you let GaoGaiGar use Hell and Heaven, or if GaoGaiGar or Goldimarg are destroyed, game over. 4) Destroying EI-20 is easy as destroying EI-15. Since EI-20 has more HP, you need Koji to cast "hot blood" before attacking so you could deal 9000-10000 damage to it. The rest, you can use their respective finishing moves using their final wazas. For added effect, you can use GaoGaiGar's Broken Magnum to destroy it (just make sure to cast "aid" on Gai before doing so). Just make sure that all enemies are destroyed before destroying EI-20 because if EI-20 is defeated, all surviving enemies will self-destruct. After destroying the EI-20, watch the cool event that will take place. SCENARIO 22 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies within 7 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) Watch the events that happen. Afterwards, you will fight Mimashi's forces. You will lose the scenario if Bigshooter or Jeeg are destroyed. Keep your eye on Jeeg's HP bar. Remember that his armor rating is low. 2) Wing 0 Custom auto-sorties and Heero starts out with 130 morale so you have to re-adjust your squads. Change Volfogg into Big Volfogg during the intermission, and later as you sortie, combine Enryu and Houryu to form Chouryujin (that means both Enryu and Houryu should be in the same squad). Sortie GaoGaiGar as well. 3) Later Ikimas's forces will arrive as enemy reinforcements. Nothing special with these Haniwa bozos. By now Wing 0 Custom's Zero System is activated, so if you upgraded its EN gauge a lot, you should be able to execute its Double Buster Rifle multiple times. Just take note to cast the "luck" or "bless" Seishins on any character that kills large-HP beast fighters. They are worth a lot of money. Otherwise, go for the conventional method, attack each squad one by one until their HP is critical. Then cast "bless" on Heero and attack that squad with the Double Buster Rifle. Big moolah. 4) Ikima and Mimashi requires no special strategy to defeat since they are both easy. The only thing that bugs is the fact that they have 2 big supporting units beside them so take them out first (the reason for this is that if you blow up Ikima and Mimashi, they will retreat, and surviving squad units will retreat with them). This is one good opportunity to waste them away with any attack that is an "ALL" status, such as ZZ Gundam's Hi-Mega Cannon, Combattler-V's Grandasher, and a personal favorite, Yuu and Hime's Synchro- Attack, the Chakra Extension (which is very powerful and highly recommended to use against them). The best characters to use in defeating Ikima and Mimashi are Heero, Jeeg, Judo and Kinkedo (for their "Extreme Luck" ability) or Arad, Bicha and Bella (for their Leadership Bonus of 20% to money). 5) If you are really in a hurry to get the skill point, Mazinger-Z will be your best friend. Simply get him to charge up his morale so he you can activate Mazin Power, then cast "hot blood" and execute the Breast Fire on any of the two bosses. By now its extremely powerful and will eat up 9000 or 10000 damage (more if you upgrade Mazinger-Z's weapons). That will get them down in no time at all. Just take note in destroying their supporting units first, or execute the Breast Fire together with a squad or support attack. That way, the squad/support attack will be support defended by the enemy squad units, and your Breast Fire can connect and hit the bosses. SCENARIO 23 SKILL POINT: Defeat Bat Shogun and Galeli by turn 6. STRATEGIES: 1) Expand your squads to 15. Make sure to spread your powerhouses evenly. As you start the scenario, you will be asked to deploy 2 motherships. The best choices are Mother Vanguard (for its leadership bonus and Daiku Maryu (for its power). Make sure that once you form the GaoGaiGar squad, Goldimarg should be in the same squad as Gai is. That way, GaoGaiGar will have its Goldion Hammer, which is a very strong weapon (you will need it in this scenario because of the Megasauruses). Also, upgrade the armor of all your super robots, even Jeeg (equip him with a Hybrid Armor). You will need to tank a lot of damage in this scenario BADLY. 2) The scenario is going to take a lot of patience. First of all, you are up against a horde of tough-armored and high-HPed Megasauruses. To top it, Machine Land will randomly fire comets of magma at the map. Pray that none of your allies get hit (although there will come a time that it will). Just remember to keep on saving before starting your turn (or reset if ever one of your allies gets killed by the magma). As for the Megasauruses, they are not much of a problem, except that you have to constantly attack. The good thing about them surviving is that Goshogun and Voltes-V will benefit the most (Kenichi and Shingo have the "Kiryoku Damage" ability, so that means they gain lots of morale for getting hit and damaged). Jeeg doesn't need to kill since his attacks require little morale. However you must make sure Mazinger-Z activates Mazin Power (that means you have to constantly kill a Megasaurus or two on the way). 3) The Zen I is a 12000-HP Megasaurus supported by 2 Megasaurus Bats. It WILL take a little more time to kill it, so to gain the morale you need to kill it faster, take out the Megasaurus Bats that are with them. This is a big opportunity for GaoGaiGar to gain morale (conserve the "charge" spell) so that you can use Goldion Hammer earlier. The same thing goes with your other characters that need morale, specifically, your super robots. Once the Megasaurus Bats are done for, constantly attack the Zen Is with squad attack and support attack. The faster you can drain its HP, the faster you can move and the faster you can reach Bat Shogun and Galeli. Keep in mind to spread the party evenly on the map because of the raining magma Machine Land spits. 4) Radra and Sanki are stubborn, but they are relatively easy. Don't be fooled. Heck you can even use Mother Vanguard and Daiku Maryu as offensive attackers against these two! Among the 2, Radra's Megasaurus Shig is more difficult because of its higher HP and armor rating. Smash it using Daiku Maryu's Miracle Drill supported by Mother Vanguard's Totsugeki, or vice versa. You can eat up as much as 9000 or 8000 damage with that attack sequence. Remember that it's advicsed that Mother Vanguard who has to defeat Radra because Bella's leadership bonus yields 20% more money per kill. Don't forget to cast "bless" on her before killing them. Michiru/Sayaka has them. 5) To get the skill point, make sure that you kill both Bat Shogun and Galeli by turn 6. Although it's not too difficult, you still have to ditch your efforts further and move REALLY FAST. They are tanks but you can easily beat the stuff out of them using GaoGaiGar and Brain Powered units. If you have 120 morale, rain them using Brain Powered units' Chakra Extension (it's best if Yuu learned "hot blood" already because this drains a lot of HP). If your super robots' levels are high enough they should have learned "hot blood" by now. If they do, cast it and execute their final wazas (you can imagine how much damage GaoGaiGar's Hell and Heaven can do with "hot blood" cast). Once they are done, bring in Arad, cast "luck"/"bless", "great effort"/"aid" then kill them using the Chakram Shooter with a little support if their HP is a bit high (although I left them with 2000 HP left, which is enough for Arad to kill since he can do 4000 damage). BOSS WARNINGS: Galeli is strongest against long ranged attackers, so close in and attack him using super robots and smash him. Bat Shogun in the other hand is strong against close ranged attackers, so snipe him using Brain Powered units, Mobile Suits. Gaiking and Goshogun. CHECK YOUR HP/EN GAUGES, ESPECIALLY JEEG! SCENARIO 24 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies before destroying King Gol's Megasaurus Dai. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, you may need to re-compress your squads back to 12. Upgrade GaoGaiGar and Goldimarg's EN to more than 160 or 170. Put them both in one squad and upgrade GaoGaiGar's weapons by 2 slots. Equip Propellant Tanks on Goldimarg as well as any item that gives him +5 morale at start. Configure your super robot squads so that they can fly (meaning all squad members they're in should be able to fly). This is very important now! Michiru and Musashi auto-sortie in their respective units. As soon as you start the scenario, switch to Michiru as the leader and run away as far as you can. If any of them die, you lose the game. So run. 2) After you run for 2 turns an event happens and you'll be asked to select your mothership (preferably Mother Vanguard) then sortie the 12 squads. Getter Dragon, Great Mazinger and Venus-A will be usable now, and GaoGaiGar will use its MAP weapon, the Dividing Driver. Your mission objective is to destroy King Gol in his Megasaurus Dai, and you will get a skill point if you managed to kill all enemies before killing King Gol. You will lose the scenario if your mothership is destroyed. 3) Same as earlier, Radra and Sanki are stubborn but easy to beat. Radra will keep on sniping you while Sanki will keep on pulverizing you. Use your super robots to nail them down and finish them off without much worries. If you use Mother Vanguard as your mothership then have Bella execute its Mega Particle Cannons to take down their squads (it's an ALL-type attack so all members of the squad are hit). Eventually you will defeat them. Just keep in mind to cast "luck"/"bless" and "great effort"/"aid" before killing them. 4) The Dinosaur Empire love crushing their enemies by the numbers. Although they are relatively easy to beat, the only thing you'll find hard is to decide who you're gonna use to destroy them, since there are many Megasaurus Zoris on the map. Remember my usual tip, those who shall kill most of them are the guys who has the "Extreme Luck" ability or whose leadership bonus adds +20% to money/EXP. And always remember to constantly use squad attacks against them. They have 17000 HP each and won't go down easily. 5) Bat Shogun and Galeli again, are easy targets. I easily disintegrated them using GaoGaiGar and Mazinger units. Putting Getta Robo aside is an advised choice. Galeli will keep on sniping your mothership but those are generally weak attacks. Remember not to cast "hot blood" when dealing with these two. You need your seishin for King Gol later. Just follow the tips I gave in scenario 23 for referrence. 6) KING GOL IS SO DAMN HARD. Prepare yourself. Compared to previous SRWs, the Megasaurus Dai now looks menacing instead of cute (in Alpha Gaiden it was) and it has 3 attacks, 2 of them deadly. Any non-flyers who attack Gol from a near distance will risk being trampled and killed instantly (7000 damage) with an exception of Mazinger-Z and GaoGaiGar (depending on how you upgraded their armor). Anyone who snipes Gol from afar will be sniped back with the Dai's now dangerous Taihou cannons. To make it worse, it's an ALL-type attack designed to kill groups of squads in one shot. To top it all off, Gol's leadership ability adds +30% to his hitrate, and +20% to his damage. Therefore, avoid sniping this cheeser at all times. Keep on attacking him from a near distance, and better if your super robots are flying. Cast "flash" or "iron wall" as necessary ("concentrate" is no use here because after using your dodge rate will be 30%). Whatever you do, get Jeeg out of the way unless you want to keep on reloading your game (he would often get killed instead of dodging at 30% rate). So, unless your super robots can fly you really have no choice but to attack Gol head-on. Cast "hot blood" often to eat up a minimum of 6000 damage. If you execute GaoGaiGar's Goldion Hammer, have Gai cast "hot blood" as well and you may deal Gol a whopping 12000 or so damage, but in turn GaoGaiGar will be trampled with only 900 or so HP left (if your armor is upgraded to 1800 that is). If GaoGaiGar is damaged make sure to heal him IMMEDIATELY. Anyway, just keep on showering hot-blooded attacks on Gol and he'll go down in no time at all. With Getta Dragon aside, send him in now (he prolly has a morale of 150 by now). If Gol's HP is less than 3500, cast "luck" and "great effort" and execute the Shine Spark at him to finally destroy the Megasaurus Dai. SCENARIO 25 SKILL POINT: N/A STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, arrange your squads. Form a cool Mazinger squad comprised of these units: Mazinger-Z, Great Mazinger, Venus-A and Diana-A. Jeeg and Bigshooter will sortie depending on your choice. During the mission briefing, you'll be given 2 options. I picked the 1st one to make Jeeg sortie in the scenario. As you start the stage, you will be asked to deploy 2 more squads. Pick the GaoGaiGar-Goldimarg squad and the Mazinger-Z squad. 2) As you start the stage, you will be ambushed by Ikima and Amaso's Haniwa Genins. Both of them are in their own Yamadanoorochis. You will lose the scenario if Jeeg or Bigshooter are destroyed. A squad of Haniwa Genins will deploy in every enemy phase. Notice that one Girara all alone in the other side of the map. The first thing to do in this stage is to go south, near that Girara. Your mission objective is to destroy that one Girara within turn 4, or it's game over. Technically it's easy to accomplish. Once you destroy it, Mimashi will sortie in his own Yamadanoorochi, Daiku Maryu will auto-sortie, and you pick 10 more squads to deploy. Your new mission objective is to destroy all enemies and you'll lose if Daiku Maryu or Jeeg are destroyed. 3) Now this is the funny part: you can actually kill Amaso in the same turn your own squads deploy! This is a perfect time to level up Pete if his level is 20-ish. All you have to do is send in your freshly deployed squads near Amaso's Yamadanoorochi and squish him with all your squad attacks until his HP is less than 1300. Now, cast "bless" and "aid" on Pete, close in the Daiku Maryu and execute the Dragon Cutter. Boom. Ikima and Mimashi are both easy as well and require no special strategies to defeat. All you have to do is just beat them all up as if they're normal soldiers. Plain and simple. They are worth tons of money and EXP, so cast the necessary spells. 4) Later, Gogon will appear in his Mikeros along with 4 Mikene Beasts. Surprisingly, Gogon is easier and obviously weaker than Ikima, Amaso and Mimashi. You may want to level up your Mazinger Squad so use them to kill him. Whatever you do, leave him alive until all other enemies are defeated, because if you kill Gogon with some enemies alive, those enemies will all retreat. After Gogon is defeated, or if there are 6 enemies left in the map (Gogon counted if still alive), Himika deploys in her Yamadanoorochi. 5) Himika is a tanker. Her Yamadanoorochi has a whopping 70000 HP which has 25000 HP more than King Gol earlier. However, she is a LOT easier than Gol. The only thing similar between these two is that she is less threatening when attacked head-on. Therefore, refrain from sniping her so she can't use her flame attacks that is an ALL-type weapon. Be mindful that although she is less harmful at close, that doesn't mean she's less dangerous. The dragon bite attacks are still strong enough to take out a super robot with 2-3 consecutive hits. One last tip: GET JEEG OUT OF THE WAY, as in 10 spaces away from Himika. Even with upgraded armor and HP, he's still one hit kill for her (and it's instant game over too). NOTE: DURING MISSION BRIEFING, YOU ARE GIVEN TWO CHOICES. I PICKED THE 2ND. THEREFORE, THIS WALKTHRU WILL FOLLOW THE 2ND PATH! SCENARIO 26 SKILL POINT: Destroy Cima's Gabera Tetra. STRATEGIES: 1) You may choose Albion as your mothership. You may need his "lock on" seishin now. Deploy your 12 squads and proceed to smash the Neo Zeon soldiers as you would. As you deploy your squads, make sure any super robot squad whose members have the seishin "accelerate" are at front. 2) Cima is gonna go chicky girl, and she's gonna attempt to escape. This part is easier than destroying Sabine earlier. Now that you have your super robots, make sure that in your first turn, cast "accelerate" and close in on her FAST. She has 2 soldiers surrounding her, but for the sake of the skill point, ignore them and focus executing squad attacks on her. Remember to cast "lock on". She is a bit edgy and will dodge as often as needed. Casting "concentrate" is not enough. Once you have smacked her down, she'll retreat. 3) Quincy, Yuu's sister, will deploy with her Reclaimer forces. She is too easy with your spells around. All you have to do is decrease her HP by using Trowa's Heavy Arms Custom. When she comes near and is on firing range, have Trowa cast "lock on" and shoot her squad using the Full Open Attack. This will decrease her HP as well as her squad members'. You may also attack her using anyone who has a strong ALL-type attack to decrease her HP further, just for collateral. Afterwards, have Yuu cast "hot blood" and "lock on" while Hime should cast "bless" and "aid" on him. Fire using the Chakra Extension. One-hit kill for Quincy and her squad. 4) Since money is a big factor in upgrading, you have to destroy the Reclaimers by groups. Here's a tip: since the Reclaimers come in squads of three, you can kill them easily with: a) Great Mazinger Thunder Break (with Tetsuya casting "hot blood" and "lock on" b) Yuu-Hime Brain Chakra Extension (you may need to decrease the enemy's HP a bit), c) Heavy Arms Custom (with Trowa casting "lock on" and "hot blood", d) Gaiking Solgaizer (with Sanshiro casting "hot blood" and "lock on", e) ZZ-Gundam's Hi-Mega Cannon (with Judo casting "concentrate" and "luck", but you need to decrease the enemy's HP a bit more). Be in mind that unless the squads have someone who can cast "great effort" and "luck", you must cast "aid" and "bless" on the one attacking the entire enemy squad. Once you destroy the 3 squads all together you will get a whopping 12000 moolah, which is big. SCENARIO 27 SKILL POINT: Destroy Peter's Zaku II F within 7 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, upgrade Goshogun's weapons until GoFlasher is in a power of 4700. Also, your super robots as well as Wing 0 Custom and Heavy Arms Custom must be equipped with armor. As you start the scenario, Albion will auto-sortie. Deploy your squads. Remember, speed is a big factor here so make sure you cast "accelerate" as early as possible to move fast. Your mission objective is to destroy Peter's Zaku II F within 8 turns, else game over. 2) This ain't a hard scenario, but rather an annoying one. First off, all your enemies start at full 150 morale, and every enemy phase, a new set of sodliers arrive with 130 morale! Not only are they really beefed up, but they are also good in dodging! Goes without saying that even Zakus can really crush you by the numbers. Remember to keep Albion out of the way (and firing range) of these new arrivals. They only appear in 2 places in the map, so keep the Albion away near these places (give allowance of a few squares because they can fire their cannons after moving). If you are in deep trouble, always remember that ALL-type attacks are your good friends. Therefore, Wing 0 Custom and Heavy Arms Custom will be of beneficial use to you at this point. Don't be shy and cast some more seishin if you think a hit rate of 60% is insufficient (because it isn't). 3) If you're near, you may want to prioritize killing the Zaku squads that are near Peter. These squads, when defeated will yield items such as a Magnetic Coating and Chobham Armor. To defeat these clowns in a hurry, I suggest killing them with powerful ALL-type attacks, like Yuu and Hime's Chakra Extension, Great Mazinger's Thunder Break and Voltes-V's Grandfire. You may have to cast "hot blood" and "lock on", that's for sure. 4) If you want to defeat Peter in a hurry, make sure that Shingo's morale is 150 (you can easily accomplish this if you let Goshogun get damaged often due to Shingo's "Kiryoku Damage" ability). Once Shingo's morale is 150, position Goshogun a little far away so that you can snipe Peter using the GoFlasher. Kiri, Goshogun's other male pilot should cast "direct hit", while the others cast the necessary spells like "lock on", "hot blood", etc. Attack Peter's Zaku II F. With much luck, a non-critical hit will result in 7092 damage, killing him in one shot. If not, reloard and try again. If this tactic won't work, then you can use Voltes-V or Combattler-V to do the dirty work, but you will need to have squad members. Cast the necessary spells and execute their final waza and allow squad attack. This way, Peter's supporting units will block your squad attack, while your own killer move will connect and kill him. SCENARIO 28 SKILL POINT: Clear the scenario within 8 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) First off, expand your party to 14. Daimos and Galba FX II will auto-sortie so make sure you equip some armor on both of them. Make sure that there is at least one super robot per squad, and that they can fly (again, their squad members should contain units that fly). Upgrade Daimos' weapons to as high as you can (well not spend all of them though) This scenario is full of water, so expect movement to be really slow. As you deploy your units, take GaoGaiGar at front. Notice the giant Bahm Ship that surfaced? The game will continously point to a certain snake-shaped structure. Your mission objective is to destroy that 50000-HP serpentile structure. 2) This scenario is littered with a mixture of Voltes-V and Daimos enemies, and will be led by the 4 Gaiking Generals in their own respective Grotecters. Too bad you won't be able to fight them, for they'll retreat later. Liza will remain in her Garnroll, Barbas in a Zonnekaiser, and Belgan again in his Skullrook. The key to getting the skill point is to be aggressive. Again, a reason why you're instructed to make sure your super robots can fly is because you have a time limit (well, not technically, but if you want the skill point bad then you do have a time limit). The enemies here are easy to beat and there is nothing special about them except that they come in squads now (even more so they are still easy for your super robots to beat up). Later, Richter will have that base launch some 10000 HP missiles, 3 at a time. They are not that threatening, so ignore them (if you will get hit, defend). They only have one attack, which is obviously, a Kamikaze thing. If they hit you, they explode. If you dodge, they can't attack anymore so they just sit pretty there. Destroy them for fun if you want (but don't cast any spells). They are pretty amusing to kill. 3) Barbas will be a bit aggressive, attacking in the frontline in his own Mecha Zonnekaiser. Remember to defend when he uses his melee attack that crushes you with 2 big hands (it may be instant death to some Mobile Suits). Yet you can still beat him easily by using Daimos. By the way, Daimos finally gets his Fire Blizzard, so conserve your energy for the time being. Use his new weapon the Daimos Shafts. As for Liza, who remains at the back in Garnroll, she remains a cheesy weirdo as she always was. The only thing you need to watch out from her is when she fires the Garnroll's lasers, which is a big ALL-type attack. Defend/guard if you think your units won't make it (most of the time, they won't). Kill her quick using your super robots. Her defense isn't as high as Barbas', so taking her out is a no-brainer. As for Belgan, he's only supported by Boazanian Saucers so there is no need to be really threatened. Just defend/guard if he executes the Giant Drill. Otherwise, he is just easy, like Liza and Barbas. Personally, the skill point is not worth getting in this scenario, especially since you can make lotsa money. It's your own choice though, skill point or more money. 4) Later Richter will come out in the Cobrahd. He will be accompanied by 2 Zonnekaisers and a Gimeria. Forget attacking the Gimeria for now, it's protected by a powerful barrier. As a few turns end, an event will take place and you are instructed to defeat the Gimeria using Daimos's new final waza, the Reppu Seken Tsuki Kai. Do it (that's why you're told to conserve EN because you will spend 160 EN against this guy). If you did upgrade Daimos' weapons you should be able to take Gimeria down in just 2 hits (the second one you have to cast "hot blood"). As for Richter, his Cobrahd has a whopping 67000 HP or so, and will be a real tanker. The only threat he is to you is if he starts spraying you with ice blasts. Not only is it a sniping weapon (a range of 8), it's an ALL-type attack that can instantly kill your Mobile Suits or Jeeg if he's not upgraded and doesn't guard. Like Himika and King Gol, Richter's less threatening when attacked head on, so do so using your super robots (if Daimos can make it, then bring him in for the kill). Wing 0 Custom is out of the question here, but you will find Trowa's Heavy Arms Custom a lot useful (its Full Open Attack is a 9-ranger, and since Richter's max range is 8, he can't counterattack). Don't forget to make Trowa cast "hot blood" as you attack him. Sooner or later you should be able to defeat Richter as you bombard him with final wazas (and you can finish him quicker if you managed to attack him using GaoGaiGar's Goldion Hammer). Watch the interesting event and scenario ends. 5) Assuming you gained a lot of money, now is the perfect time to upgrade Huckebine mk III's stats to the fullest as you can. If you can max every stat, so much the better, but it's best if you save a few more for Daitarn-3 so upgrade Daitarn-3's armor as well as a few weapon slots. SCENARIO 29 SKILL POINT: Defeat Commander Benmel. STRATEGIES: 1) Compress your squads back to 12. Daitarn-3 will sortie in an event, so upgrade its armor and HP (and EN too if you haven't). As you start, you will get 2 new Brainchilds as allies (Kanan and Higgins). Jonathan again sorties in the map, so again you're up against Brain Powered units. Pick a mothership, but take note that it won't be able to move. You will lose the scenario if your mothership is destroyed. Daitarn-3 will appear in turn 2, so proceed destroying enemies as usual. However, don't move your entire party to where the enemy is. Instead, send Daitarn-3 and a few flying units to the west edge of the map (or at least, the left side of Daiku Maryu). It's ok if they stay there, but don't send very weak units. 2) Jonathan's Grancher has 12000 HP but can easily falter. Same thing applies to Shiela's as well. You can actually finish Shiela off using the Chakra Extension. If you think this isn't enough, you may want to have someone cast "lock on" before attacking her, then as her HP is halved, use the Chakra Extension on her. As for Jonathan, leave the super robots to him. His armor ain't strong, and his Chakra Shield won't be too much of a big hindrance for you, especially now that you have Daimos' new weapons. Finish him off like you would in any boss, cast spells, kill, Fini. 3) When you defeat all enemies, watch the scene. Your new mission objective is to defeat that flying Buddgilder within 5 turns, else game over. That's why you're told to bring Daitarn-3 and some of your units there on that edge of the map, because it will stay there. Its mecha chainsaw attack is kinda strong, so keep your guard. Although it's a tanker with 60000 HP, its can easily run out of EN, and its defense isn't very high. However you have to make Banjou cast "hot blood" so his Sun Attack can eat 12000 HP from it. Things will be a lot easier for you when your units are there, so you can focus your attention on Commander Benmel, especially because he brings out a Super AI-controlled, 16000 HP Quin Mantha! Ignore the Quin Mantha for the moment and barrage your attacks on Commander Benmel. He has a high defense but can't hit you well, so take this opportunity to dodge a lot while attacking him with your most powerful moves. Jeeg is excellent against this guy, and so is Huckebine mk III, your melee G-Wing boys Quatre, WuFei and Duo, and of course, GaoGaiGar. Special note: CAST "BLESS" ON DAITARN-3 BEFORE DESTROYING THE BUDDGILDER. IF YOU DO, YOU GET 50000 MOOLAH!!!! 4) But to add more fun, Egger comes out in a 13000 HP Grancher! He won't move in a certain spot in the map, but he's still surprisingly easy, even with that souped up unit of his. I managed to defeat him with only 2 attacks, Heavy Arms Custom's Full Open Attack, and Voltes-V's Chodenji Ball V No Jigiri (it has a power of 5200 that time). Both attacks require you to cast "hot blood", obviously. It's not much of a problem, since his defense is low (even Daimos alone can take him out alone provided you cast "lock on"). 5) If Huckebine mk III's stats aren't maxed out, you may now try to max them out as much as you can. If it's possible, start upgrading its weapons too. You will need it later. SCENARIO 30 SKILL POINT: Clear the scenario in 8 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) You will start off with a duel between Daitarn-3 and Commander Kidoga. This guy is extremely easy if you know which buttons to push. Don't be shy to cast spells to the limit. Cast "charge" only once, and then attack using the Daitarn Javellin. Cast "hot blood" whenever you attack too. It would help a lot. Once you win the duel, an event takes place and you're taken to limbo. Commander Kidoga will join you, and your mission objective is to destroy all enemies. If one of them is destroyed, then it's game over. 2) Once you're in limbo, don't cast any spells. Don't let Commander Kidoga kill anyone as well. Just remember that the Aiais are very weak and Daitarn-3 can crush them like insects in just one attack. Later your own allies will come and your new mission objective is that Daitarn-3 should attack the Death Spider (obviously, the only spider-like mech in the map). If that one Death Spider, Daiku Maryu or Daitarn-3 is destroyed, game over. 3) Commander Sundrake is just too easy. If you want to annoy him jusr for the fun of it, snipe him. However if you're after the skill point, you have to be aggressive and start smashing him using your super robots. Use Daiku Maryu to kill him using the Giant Cutter if Pete's level is not high (this is the perfect chance to level him up). After Commander Sundrake is defeated attack the Death Spider. Megaborg Milenne and Koros' forces will deploy. 4) Easy, easy, easy. You can mess around with Megaborg Milenne and Koros' sodliers. Again, if you're REALLY in a hurry, finish her off quick using your super robots. She is virtually not that harmful. Koros, however will take up a little more patience. Her support units will gradually annoy you unless you cast "direct hit" before attacking her. Therefore, if you want to do it fast, you have to use the Chakra Extension to kill them off. Once Koros is damaged and her 2 support units are destroyed, kill her using the Daitarn-3. She is literally a tank... she's in a huge 3-barreled tank with 40000 or so HP. Like the rest, she is virtually "harmless". Use GaoGaiGar's Goldion Hammer to eat up around 12000 HP if you can. Best if Daitarn-3 kills her for the anime-ish effect. 5) Final reminder: upgrade Huckebine mk III's stats and weapons to max if able! SCENARIO 31 SKILL POINT: Within 6 turns, reduce Yazan's HP to less than 3000. STRATEGIES: 1) Watch the scenes that will take place. Afterwards Arad will finally get his new mech, the Biltbilger. Zeora will be an enemy here, but at least Viretta joins you in her own Huckebine mk III. Your mission objective is to destroy all enemies, and you will lose if Arad is killed. 2) If you did upgrade Huckebine mk III to the max as early as 3 scenarios ago, then you will breeze thru this stage easily. The upgrades will also go to Viretta's Huckebine mk III too! Anyway, ignore Zeora and go attack head on with Arad and Viretta. The upgrades you have invested in earlier will pay off for they will ALMOST be "untouchable". On turn 3, the Alpha Numbers aka your squads will arrive, and if your chosen mothership is destroyed, game over. That doesn't sound to bad since you're prolly used to it now. 3) Your party must cast "accelerate" and move in to Yazan's forces as early as possible. Yazan will not counterattack but will defend, so that will be a big annoying thing. To make it more hell, Ramsus and Dangel will support defend him and will even die for him! Tip: attack Yazan's squad using ALL- type attacks and if possible, cast "hot blood" if it's not too fatal. The best choice is Trowa in his Heavy Arms Custom. Execute the Full Open Attack (after you cast "hot blood" and "lock on"). Assuming their HP is halved, send in Heero, cast "hot blood" and "lock on" and shoot their squad down with the Double Buster Rifle. Don't forget "bless" and "aid" on him! 4) There is no need to worry about Zeora. You can safely kill her if you want. If your Huckebine mk III is upgraded fully, the upgrades will carry on to Biltbilger, and thus you can dodge her Oxtan Rifles like hell (but you can't dodge it all the time, even in 20%). Just defeat her, preferably using Arad. Once all enemies are defeated, the scenario ends. SCENARIO 32 SKILL POINT: Destroy Samus Gal or drain its HP to 10000 or less. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, you should have collected a lot of PPs for your pilots. I suggest having Heero and Trowa learn the "SP Recover" ability, which costs around 200 PP. If you do so, the strategies that I have written will work the best for you (and besides the fact that it will make the succeeding hard battles a lot easier than thou). When you arrange your squad, put Amuro in the ReGZ (although this is not important, it's a big preparation for later) and install a Haro and other kickass items to boost its stats. If Gai's terrain is still A or B, I suggest changing all the A into S (you'll have to spend PP of course). Save your PPs. Make sure Goldimarg and GaoGaiGar are in one squad. Next, check Puru and Puru Two. If their kills are less than 30, put them in good units like ZZ Gundam and Gundam F-91. Put them in different squads. The one with the least kills should be put in the ZZ Gundam due to its Hi-Mega Cannon attack. Oh, and one last thing... check if your G-Wing Boys' levels are 30-ish. If not, you will need to use them to kill the bosses in this scenario. I suggest that you follow my advice on them learning the SP Recovery ability. Please make sure that at least 2 G-Wing boys are in the same squad as Heero. You will need him to kill the bosses, as I mention them in this walkthru. 2) Harrison will make his debut in the game, piloting his MP F-91. He will be with Bright Noah in his Ra-Kailum, and your mission objective is to defeat all enemies. You will lose if any of them are defeated. Up against you are the sickos Quess and Gyunei of CCA fame, in their respective Jagd Dogas. Whatever you do, stay away from them. The Alpha Numbers will arrive later. Mother Vanguard auto-sorties the scenario as well. 3) CONVINCE COMMAND ALERT: MAKE SURE AMURO IS DEPLOYED in this scenario, preferably in an ReGZ (and of course, that means it's equipped with the stat-boosting items Biosensor and Haro as mentioned earlier). Here's a tip: if you managed to get ReGZ's mobility to 140 (equip a Haro and a Biosensor), Gyunei's Funnels against Amuro is 0% (dodge, obviously). When Quess is near, USE AMURO TO CONVINCE HER. Although she won't join you though. If there are 7 enemies left or some are left alive after turn 4, they will all retreat. The Jupiter Empire will arrive and you have to stop them. One more surprise: Sabine arrives in his Crossbone Gundam X2, and brings out a Raflessia! To top it all, they deploy a couple of Bugs! Your mission has now changed. Defeat all enemies. Now, notice that Bright will draw two sets of lines that will cut out a square in the map. If any of those bugs get across that line and into that square/edge of that map, game over. 4) This part gets interesting. For every squad of Bugs you defeat, a new squad appears to take its place. To stop them, you must destroy the Raflessia that's sitting pretty there. The worst part is that Sabine and the rest will attack you head on so there is still a big hindrance. The only thing you could do is ignore them for the time being and focus on destroying the Bugs that are close to the line (meaning your priority is to destroy them first). While your other party is destroying the Bugs, a portion must go to the Raflessia and destroy it AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN. Don't worry much on how the Raflessia will counterattack, it's piloted by a weak AI. However be mindful that it is protected by an I-Field, rendering your Beam Rifles useless. You will have to send in Yuu and Hime and do their Chakra Extension often so that you could eat up its HP really fast. It exactly has 39000 HP, not much of a threat in combat. Plus, it will move later, so don't worry, it will stupidly crash on your party in awhile. Just keep on destroying those bugs AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE BUGS THAT ARE FARTHEST AWAY. Spread your squads!!! 5) Sabine is as stupid as ever. You can take him down with 2 moves: Trowa's Full Open Attack and Heero's Double Buster Rifle. Cast "hot blood" and "lock on". Make Trowa attack him first, then Heero. Please check if Heero's level is 34 or higher. Then, check the other G-Wing Boys. If their levels still aren't 34, let them kill the next bosses until they reach that level. 6) The Giri Trio is a hell of a lot easier than when you met them. Now, it will go from the smallest to the biggest. It doesn't matter who you're gonna target who. Go for broke. Make Trowa cast "lock on" and "hot blood" and fire the Full Open Attack on Giri's squad. With their HP really depleted, have Heero cast "hot blood" and "lock on" and fire the Double Buster Rifle. Expect Rosemary to be dead, so if you cast "bless" on Heero you will get around 4000 or so moolah. Now, on to Giri. Have Great Mazinger cast "hot blood", "lock on" and "great effort". By now Mazin Power is activated, so fire the Thunder Break at them. Giri's down. Pans is the only one left, so you decide how to deal with him. Now's a good time to build Gai's PP to get Star GaoGaiGar later, so use Gai to kill him, if you want that is. Again, cast "bless" or "luck" on anyone who kills them! It's a ton of EXP! Last note: by now all your G-Wing Boys' levels are 34 or higher. 7) Once you defeated Giri's squad, everything will be chicken feet. Keep on destroying the Bugs (they won't reproduce now, so this will be a permanent one). A reason why I told you to bring out the Puru Twins... you need to raise their kill count to 30 or near 30 to get MP Quebeley later on. By the time you reach the Samus Gal, drain its HP to less than 13000, preferably 12000. When you're through, bring Mother Vanguard close (you guess right, she will be the supporting character). Execute any of your super robots' final wazas, again, preferably GaoGaiGar so you can build Gai's PP. Whatever you do, don't execute Goldion Hammer unless you are confident it can eat more than 12000 HP. If you use this move, Mother Vanguard won't support because Goldion Hammer is a Synchro-attack (in case you haven't noticed, you need Goldimarg in the same squad to enabled it). So I advise you to use the simplest Hell and Heaven with support. After the scenario is over, if all your G-Wing Boys' levels are 34 or higher, you will get the Wing Gundam Early Type. Plus you will finally receive Amuro's Nu-Gundam and the Psycho Frame item. SCENARIO 33 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies before destroying the Doukachi's Elegolea. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, you will notice Kou and Judo is under event status. In that case, equip a Biosensor and Hybrid Armor on the GP-03 Stamen and ZZ Gundam (or any item of your choice). Now is a good chance to test drive the Wing Gundam Early Type so put Trowa in it (since he's the other G-Wing boy who has the best projectile power. However if you're traditional, put Heero in it and put Trowa in the Wing 0 Custom. Condense your squad into 10. As you start the scenario, Mother Vanguard won't be usable. Pick your own mothership, preferably Ra-Kailum or Albion (but if Pete's level is a bit low, deploy Daiku Maryu since it enables Gaiking's Miracle Drill attack). Kou will be able to get into the GP-03 Dendrobium and so he'll deploy in it. You're up against Cima and her fleet. Cima is quite easy even with her own supporting units. Just execute ALL-type attacks on her Gabera Tetra (to avoid wasting your ammo on the soldiers who will support defend her). If you have Katoki Hajime's Early Type Wing Gundam this will be a piece of cake, I assure you. But then you may want to let Kou kill her, if you want. 2) Later as you progressively destroy her fleet like bugs, the Elegolea comes out, and Tovia finally sorties in his Crossbone Gundam X3 along with Judo in his ZZ Gundam. Your mission objective is to make Tovia attack the Elegolea. You will lose if you destroy it (because Bernadette is in there). When you attack it, an event will take place and Doukachi will take over Elegolea as its pilot. Your new mission this time is to DESTROY IT (I know, but that's what it is). You will lose if Tovia is killed or if Mother Vanguard or your mothership is destroyed. 3) Nothing really special against Dougachi... he's just too easy, even if his Mega Particle Cannon is an ALL-type attack... just execute your own ALL-type attacks on him to kill off his 7000-HP supporting soldiers, or attack his soldiers one at a time. When they are all defeated, you may proceed to destroy Dougachi. IMPORTANT NOTES: USE TOVIA TO DEFEAT DOUGACHI so you could get the FAZZ Gundam later! Also, after ending the scenario, upgrade Nu-Gundam's weapons by 5 levels. It will yield you the NU-GUNDAM HWS later. NOTE: DURING MISSION BRIEFING, YOU ARE GIVEN TWO CHOICES. I PICKED THE 2ND. THEREFORE, THIS WALKTHRU WILL FOLLOW THE 2ND PATH! SCENARIO 34 SKILL POINT: Destroy all 4 Grotecters within 8 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) Noin sorties in her White Taurus, as Aid Mervy is in a Garnroll while being attacked by Killer in his yellow Grotecter. You will lose the scenario if the Garnroll or Noin's White Taurus is destroyed. Gaiking and Daimos will auto-sortie, so destroy the enemies fast. Later Daiku Maryu will auto-sortie as well, and Darius' 4 Heavenly Kings in their own Grotecters will launch the Death Cross, creating a black hole. Your mission objective is to destroy the 4 Heavenly Kings. Beware, they'll retreat if their HP drain to 8000. Once Daiku Maryu sorties, it won't be able to attack or cast seishins. 2) If the Garnroll's HP is reduced to less than 8000, an event will take place and Kazuya will auto-heal and raise his morale to 150 and cast "hot blood". This will be extremely useful in killing the other beasts that are near the Garnroll. In a few turns, the 4 Heavenly Kings will release the Mooon Condor and an event will take place, leading to Gaiking having an upgrade. Getting the new weapon, decrease the Moon Condor's HP to 11000. Afterwards have Sanshiro cast "hot blood" and cast the necessary spells on him. Execute Gaiking's new final waza and watch it kill the Moon Condor instantly. It's worth some money too, so cast "bless" on Sanshiro. 3) The 4 Heavenly Kings are strikingly easy, so don't let their appearances provoke you. You can actually finish them off in 6-7 turns, depending on the power of your super robots. If you plan to finish them off quickly, remember that you must decrease their HP to at least 11000 (easy to accomplish if you constantly attack using Nu-Gundam and Jeeg) Great Mazinger can eat up 13000 HP or more with a hot blooded Great Booster (and Mazin Power activated), while GaoGaiGar's Goldion Hammer can smack 12000 HP away with it hot blooded. If you upgraded Daimos' weapons, Reppu Sekken Tsuki Kai can drain 10000-11000 damage. The rest, well give an allowance of 9000 damage just to be sure (currently, a 4700-power GoFlasher eats 9700 damage). Given that they will escape at 8000 HP, you can destroy them easily. Just remember one thing: destroy all enemies before taking out the last General. If you destroy all 4 generals, all surviving enemies will escape. Watch the event that follows, because it's quite interesting. SCENARIO 35 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies within 4 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) Assuming you have Katoki Hajime's Early Type Wing Gundam, put Trowa in it and give the Heavy Arms Custom to Noin and deploy her in this scenario. Do not deploy Puru and Puru Two in this scenario. Get someone else to take their places, so arrange your squads accordingly. tip: Conserve your spells, especially those with "luck" and "bless". Don't cast them unless you are going to kill Zechs, Yazan's squad and the 2 Musaka motherships. If you must have those with the "luck" spell kill them, limit "bless". 2) Zechs and Yazan deploy in their respective units, the Tallgeese III and the triple Hambrabis. Fortunately, they are very easy. For the Yazan squad, snipe them with a Double Buster Rifle or the Early Type Wing Gundam's Buster Rifle. With Bright near, cast "hot blood" and "lock on" while Torres casts "luck" while someone else casts "aid" on the Ra-Kailum. Attack using its strongest weapon, the Mega Particle Cannon. Dead. As for Zechs, you can beat the lungs out of him using Yuu/Hime, and your super robots. Just cast "lock on" everytime you attack him, and he will be dead in no time (he isn't threatening now compared to the first time you have fought him). You may want to make Noin attack him if you deployed her, just for the dramatic effect, but her spells aren't sufficient enough to destroy him though. 3) When all enemies are defeated, a super squad of MP Quebeleys and Geymalks appear in the map. Bright will draw a line on the map which is located behind them. Your mission objective is to get your forces to reach that line/edge of the map, or destroy all enemies. Plus, Puru and Puru Two will leave the map (as warned earlier). Killing the Neo Zeon soldiers are easy actually, even if they are amass in numbers, Early Type Wing Gundam and Wing 0 Custom can easily snipe them from afar, or simply use ALL-type attacks on them. Don't worry much about them... they may look threatening but they aren't. Be careful of the Geymalk's Mega Particle Cannons. They may not be deadly, but they are annoying. If ever they attack you with Funnels, simply defend. As for the MP Quebeleys, they will always attack you with their Funnels unless they are in the mood to snipe you with their action cannons. If you can, use Gaiking's Open Face Attack against a squad of MP Quebeleys. Remember to cast the spells, because casting "hot blood" means instant death for those silent bozos. As for the Geymalks, since they have 13000 HP, you may want to kill them off one by one, or better yet, decrease their HP by 7000 or less then have Heero, Trowa or Yuu/Hime to cast "hot blood" and execute their ALL-type attacks, namely the Buster Rifle and the Chakra Extension. No need to go to the map though... finish all the enemies and you will gain more than 300000 moolah at the end of the stage. SCENARIO 36 SKILL POINT: Deplete Haman's Quebeley's HP down to 48000 within 6 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) Expand your party to 14 and upgrade the weapons of your super robots, especially GaoGaiGar, Goldimarg and Great Mazinger. Install some good items on ZZ Gundam because you will get to use Judo a lot. If it's possible upgrade Wing 0 Custom and ZZ Gundam's weapons. Go check your pilots and give them the SP Recover ability (assuming that their PPs are 200 or more). This scenario will be A LOT EASIER if you do. Another note: ensure that you put Judo in the ZZ Gundam as well. If you have some money left, please upgrade Arad's Biltbilger's weapons to prepare for the next scenario. 2) The enemies here are basically easy to beat ZZ Gundam enemies. You will have to speed up a bit and destroy most of them quick. You will have to cast "accelerate" somehow so you could attack head on. They are not that threatening but they are tankers (most of them composed of MP Quebeleys, Geymalks and Dobenwolves. If you want to clear them really fast, you will have to keep on using ALL-type attacks, which is why you need to deploy Wing 0 Custom (the Double Buster Rifle works wonders here). Keep on firing those ALL-type attacks to damage multiple enemies at the same time. 3) Rakan in his Dobenwolf is easy and you can take him down in 2 moves... namely your 2 Wing Gundams (cast "hot blood" before attacking). You will destroy Rakan's entire squad in no time. If you don't have Katoki Hajime's Wing Gundam, you can use GP-03 Dendrobium's Mega Partcile Cannon. As for Ni, Lance and Iria, their Geymalks are not threatening too. Use Mother Vanguard to your advantage and use its own Mega Particle Cannons (it's an ALL-type attack). Don't mind killing the supporting soldiers in the process. If you upgraded Great Mazinger's weapons, a hot blooded Thunder Break can deal as much as 6000-8000 damage (and compared to the Geymalks' 13000 HP gauge, it's still a big thing). Perseverance and aggression will get you places so don't hesitate to push your spells to the limit for some of your units (especially your G-Wing boys). 4) If you notice the Sadaran, you'll never be able to blow it up with its whopping 90000-something HP. So ignore it and just kill everyone on your way. Later Haman will appear in her terrifying 92000-HP Quebeley. Your mission objective is to decrease its HP down to 48000. Very easy to do. IMPORTANT NOTE: if Haman attacks, defend. Using Judo, have him cast "resist" and ATTACK HAMAN (doesn't matter if it misses). ZZ Gundam will finally get the Hi-Mega Cannon Full Power. Afterwards, dunk Haman using GaoGaiGar (if you upgraded its weapons and its Goldion Hammer has a power of 6125, you can smack out 15000 or more HP per hit if "hot blood" is cast). Keep in mind that you won't be able to kill Haman so keep on attacking. If you are aggressive, you should be able to pull it off within 6 turns. SCENARIO 37 SKILL POINT: Destroy Yazan in his GP-02. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, if Sanshiro (Gaiking's pilot) has enough PP, make him learn the "Kiryoku Damage" ability. It will help A LOT. Also, it will make things easier if you upgraded Gaiking's weapons until its most powerful weapon has at least a power of 5750. If you have enough money left, upgrade GaoGaiGar's weapons, or perhaps Goldimarg's. The higher the power of Goldion Hammer, the better. Final reminder on upgrading Arad's weapons. 2) A very easy scenario. Just don't bring lots of your units down to the small army. Instead, make them come to you, or send a small, but powerful army. Beat the stuff out of the Musaka and the rest. A pre-emptive tip: build your morale here by letting the enemies hit you. There is no time limit, but prepare yourself for the surprise ahead. If your super robots have the ability "Kiryoku Damage", so far the better. If not, build morale, and special emphasis goes to GaoGaiGar (you need to build 140 morale for both Gai and Goldimarg before defeating all the enemies). 3) After you defeat that small army, Yazan arrives in a GP-02 with a ton of squads, with each squad having around 3-4 members! Zeora comes out as well and after a round of conversation, will FINALLY join your party. You will get a new Synchro-attack between Arad and Zeora too! 4) You will lose the scenario if Yazan manages to execute the GP-02's Atomic Bazooka, or if Arad and Zeora are killed. Although the Atomic Bazooka requires 150 morale to execute, here's the thing: Yazan has the "Kiryoku Damage" ability. So if you hit him, you can imagine how big his morale gain is. The technique to beating this stage easily is to defeat as less enemies as you could. Don't ignore them though. When they attack, make sure you counterattack, damaging them in the process. You are allowed to kill a few, of course, just for the sake of building your morale (remember that for every kill you make, Yazan's morale raises by 1). 5) Assuming you already build your morale as early as before Yazan's forces arrived (if you followed my advice earlier), you are ready to take him on. First off, have Heero/Trowa cast "hot blood" and "lock on" and attack Yazan's squad using the Double Buster Rifle. Next, make Sanshiro (Gaiking's pilot) cast "hot blood" and "lock on", and add along "bless" and "aid". Attack Yazan's squad with its most powerful and new weapon, the Open Face Mode Attack. You will instantly destroy all supporting units, and Yazan's GP-02 should be at around 8000-10000 HP. With Yazan's HP around that level, make Arad cast "hot blood" and other necessary spells and execute his new Synchro-attack with Zeora. It will instantly kill Yazan with 10000+ damage. If not, use GaoGaiGar instead. You will get the GP-02 later. SCENARIO 38 SKILL POINT: Within 7 turns, there should be only 5 enemy squads remaining. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, put Amuro in the ReGZ. Install a Haro, Psycho Frame and other stat-boosting items to raise its mobility to 160+. That will make Amuro almost untouchable as he would be in the Nu-Gundam. Expand your squads to 15, and upgrade Crossbone Gundam X1's stats as well as Wing 0 Custom's (Wing 0 Custom needs to get an EN upgrade while Crossbone Gundam X1 needs a mobility and armor upgrade). Install some good items on them too if able. Re-arrange your squad because Heero will auto-sortie in an event (get some other person to take his place). As you form your new squad, put Arad and Zeora in one squad and add anyone you wish to fill the 2 remaining slots. Zeora will start with 400 or so PP so make her learn the SP Recover ability and another one (I put her with SP Up just so she could cast "bless" more). Wing 0 Custom needs to have any EN-stat editing item like a Big Generator or a Solar Panel or GS Light (both items recover EN every turn). Doing so, you can save a little money on the EN, and upgrade its mobility to 160 instead. Prepare the Z-Gundam as well. Put Kamiyu in it, and give it some items that will boost it stats. If you have money, upgrade it as well. 2) The event occurs as soon as you start the stage. Zechs is in trouble, and as Heero appears, Zechs will form an alliance, so it's a new squad between Wing 0 Custom and Tallgeese III. You will lose the scenario if any of them dies. Assuming you upgraded Wing 0 Custom's EN and mobility while adding EN stat editing items or EN recovery items, proceed with the offensive. Don't get in too close, Quess can still snipe you (although her hit rate is only 50% if Heero's LV is 40 and Wing 0 Custom's mobility is 160-ish). You may counter attack with the Double Buster Rifle if you want. As you notice, all the big enemies are attacking you head on (which ain't a good sign). If you want to make it easier to get the skill point, counterattack to make your enemies easier to kill (and watch your HP gauge too!) 3) Later, deploy your 15 squads AND MOTHER VANGUARD. Be sure that Crossbone Gundam X1, Z Gundam and Amuro in ReGZ sortie out. and Char, along with the Jupiter Empire will sortie as well. Remember that Amuro has to be deployed in your souped-up ReGZ. Your mission objective is to decrease the HP of Char's Sazabi to 50000. It won't be hard task, but it ain't too easy either. You still will have to defend yourself if Char attacks you with the Sazabi's Funnels (it's an ALL-type attack). Remember to deploy Kamiyu in the Z-Gundam too, and move him in to Yazan, not Char. The only ones who must approach Char is Amuro and Judo. Still, skill point priority wise, you have to still destroy 5 squads within 5 turns, so start killing quick! Sabine will also provoke Kinkedo, and so Kinkedo will leave his post in any squad you assign him on, and will do a one-on-one againt Sabine (which is why you're told to upgrade Crossbone Gundam X1 a lot... Sabine will lay ALL of his cards). Your mission objective: decrease Sazabi's HP down to 50000, OR destroy all enemies until there are only 5 squads left in the map. Personally, I prefer you keep on destroying enemies for money, but then again if you decrease Char's HP, you get the chance to fight him in the Nightingale later. The choice is yours... practicality or priviledge... 4) IMPORTANT NOTES: HAVE KAMIYU ATTACK YAZAN (OR VICE VERSA) AND BOTH MUST BE ALIVE AT END OF COMBAT. A scene will trigger and Z Gundam will get the Hyper Beam Sabre. If you put Amuro in the ReGZ, seperate the ReGZ to appear in its MS Mode, AND USE IT TO ATTACK CHAR IN HIS SAZABI. One reason why you're told not to make Kinkedo spar with Sabine is because of Dorel Ronah (the purple-haired guy in the Belga Dallas). Use KINKEDO AND BELLA to attack him and you will be able to convince him to join you later. If you use Kinkedo to drain Sabine's HP down to 6500 or less, an event will take place and Kinkedo will be erased from the map (I won't spoil what's gonna happen about it). This will lead to something for Crossbone Gundam X1 later. Focus on destroying the motherships for money. Destroy the soldiers later. Also, COUNT HOW MANY SQUADS ARE LEFT. You can get all the secrets in the scenario if you count the enemy squads. Give priority on the secrets! 5) Kelly is most annoying in this scenario, and he won't spare his bullets. If possible, he will trigger his Val Varo's MAP weapon to destroy your squads (usually he will take down the wee units with one hit). So to avoid it, you must snipe him. If Heero's in LV 38-40 and with Wing 0 Custom's mobility upped to 160, he will be almost untouchable after casting the "concentrate" spell. So keep on sniping him until you eventually drain his life and kill him. As for Gato, he has the "guard" ability which makes him more annoying to kill, but he's still dumb in targetting and is still less threatening. You can take him out using your super robots provided you cast "lock on" before doing so. He may be dumb in targetting, but he's good in dodging (at least in this game he is). For the Giri Trio, execute a hot blooded Gaiking Open Face Attack. This will drain Rosemary's 9000-HP mech down to super critical life, as well as halving the HP of the other 2. Then use another ALL-type attack to finally kill Rosemary. With Pans and Giri left, bring in a super robot, execute its final waza ON PANS (no one will support defend him that's why). It will kill him provided the attack is strong enough, then bring anyone closer and kill Giri finally. 6) Now, weigh your choice. To get the skill point, you need to decrease enemy squads to 5 by turn 7. Not hard. But if you decrease the Sazabi's HP to 50000 or less, you can have a chance to fight the Nightingale later... it's a great addition to your encyclopedia as well. So make that choice. If you do choose to see Nightingale, double your efforts. Cast your spells, and smother Char with your super robots' final wazas. Your best bets for these are Great Mazinger and GaoGaiGar (Great Booster and Goldion Hammer). SCENARIO 39 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies within 4 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) Upgarade Crossbone Gundam X1 during the intermission for Kinkedo will auto-deploy in an event. If you didn't manage to execute the Kinkedo-Sabine event in the previous scenario, don't worry, the event will take place here. Just make sure that you decrease Sabine's HP to less than 6500 (or half). You will lose the scenario if Kinkedo gets killed or you fail to destroy all enemies within 5 turns or if one of your motherships is destroyed. 2) Really easy scenario, especially that all 4 motherships will deploy in this stage. All you have to do is make your squads cast "accelerate" and move in for the kill. The 4 Heavenly Kings (the Gaiking enemies) will appear, but will retreat at once, leaving behind a set of more beasts for you to kill. Just be aggressive and kill all enemies as fast as you can. To do this , keep on executing ALL-type attacks and always counterattack. Show no mercy! Cast all your spells if necessary, you can finish this scenario 3 turns! SCENARIO 40 SKILL POINT: By turn 5, destroy Jonathan's Baronzue or drain its HP to 7000. STRATEGIES: 1) Goshogun and GaoGaiGar will be undergoing an event, so equip GaoGaiGar with the Minovsky Drive you received earlier to make him fly. Upgrade their stats and weapons as necessary provided you have the dough to do so. Check Biltbilger's weapons if Victim Beak is 4850 in power. If not, upgrade it to 4850, or more than that. The strategy below works best if you do it. 2) A series of events will take place and soon, it's Arad and Zeora in one squad VS Jonathan in the Baronzue. Yuu's Brain Unit will be badly damaged, and so is Nely's Brain Unit. Arad and Zeora can't cast any spells, but they can move and attack. Soon some Reclaimers will arrive, but they are easy and no match for Biltbilger and Biltfargen. Although you won't be able to finish them off quick, you will be asked to deploy 2 squads to assist Arad, Zeora, Yuu and Nely. Since GaoGaiGar is deployed, you may want to deploy Goldimarg to enable the Goldion Hammer, but you prolly won't be able to use it anyway. Just deploy characters that have the "lock on" spell because Jonathan can dodge really good. 3) Jonathan is one cheesy, crazy lunatic. If you want to beat him quick, do this: save on your 2nd turn. Attack Jonathan head on and hope your attack connects and hits. If your Biltbilger and Biltfargen are fully upgraded (assuming you upgraded Huckebine mk III to full some scenarios ago as suggested by this FAQ), you should be able to withstand the Baronzue's Fin attacks (it's an ALL-type). When your party arrives, you should start killing enemies until Arad's morale reaches 115 (not that hard, I bet). Have him cast "hot blood", "lock on" and "flash", and Zeora should cast "flash" and "concentrate". Attack Jonathan using the Stag Beetle Crusher. You should be able to leave him with 10000 HP or so left. Heal Arad and Zeora if possible (since they dodged the Fin attack after you cast "flash"). Quit your turn as normal, and defend against Jonathan's attacks. On your own turn, save your game. Have Arad cast all the necessary spells, including "spirit" (he should have learned it by now). Decrease the Baronzue's HP to 7500-8400 (use other pilots, obviously) then attack Jonathan using the Victim Beak (the V-Max/Hikari No Tsubasa ripoff attack). If he dies (and I'm sure he can't stand that attack even with 8500 HP), reload your game. Kill as much soldiers as possible before killing him. I did it all on turn 3. SCENARIO 41 SKILL POINT: Defeat all enemies before defeating Ankoku Daishogun. STRATEGIES: 1) Expand your squads to 14. Sortie Daiku Maryu as the mothership (so that Gaiking can use its Miracle Drill since it's a super robot infested stage). If you have any grunts in Great Mazinger's squad, remove them. Make sure that the ones in Great Mazinger's squad have tough armor and whatnot. Next, check your PPs. Make sure that by now, almost any super robot pilot has learned the "SP Recover" skill. You will REALLY need it much more now. As you start the scenario, Juliceasar, Gogon and Ikima commence attack, so deploy your squads and start your own offensive! 2) Ikima is just plain easy even in his Yamadanoorochi and not threatening. Juliceasar is a different story though. He's a tanker AND a sniper (his cool head boomerang attack is one of the coolest moves I've ever seen). With a whopping 62000 HP, you will have to be careful because if your real robots are not upgraded much in armor and failed to dodge, it could kill them instantly, if not leaving them in critical condition. If he snipes you or attacks you with a non-head on attack (meaning if he attacks anyone that is not beside him), he will use his head attack so be on your guard. Even all that, he is surprisingly easy. One of his only bad things is that he has the "Kiryoku Damage" ability which raises his morale (and thus his attack power) real fast. Don't cast too much spells when gradually exterminating him... he's nothing compared to what's coming next. As for Gogon, he's still easy in the Mikeros as usual, so beat it into a pulp as you desire. It's still best if you decrease the entire squad's HP to critical and kill the entire squad off though. It yields more money and EXP if you do. 3) After you defeat Juliceasar, he will retreat, and ANKOKU DAISHOGUN will deploy! He decreases damage against him by 20% and his hit rate against you is +20%! Plus his targetting ability is 260, almost reaching the level of your other Newtypes (perhaps exceeding it)! To make matters worse, he has an even eye-popping 130000 HP!! Like Juliceasar, he's a tanker AND a sniper so don't expect your Mobile Suits to be very useful against him right now because he can still hit you if you don't cast any spells! There's only one rule when you fight him: if he attacks and your hit rate is more than 25%, DEFEND, DON'T COUNTERATTACK UNLESS YOU ARE CONFIDENT. Mobile Suits, grunt units, supporting units and non-super robots is an instant kill from any attack (his eye beam is an ALL-type). Like the previous bosses, this guy is less dangerous when attacked at point blank range (meaning go beside him directly and attack him). So, get your super robots in and cast your spells really quick and mash him! There is nothing to worry about though. Ankoku Daishogun will attack Great Mazinger, and only Great Mazinger, unless he's not the squad leader. So, to divert Ankoku Daishogun's attacks to Great Mazinger is essential, and keep a healer beside him! I managed to destroy Ankoku Daishogun in only 2 turns, and thanks to the SP Recovery skill of all my pilots (actually I almost all my powerhouses have it now). If ever Ankoku Daishogun does NOT attack Great Mazinger, it might mean he has found a squad that is susceptible to be killed (low-HP). DEFEND if he ever does that, because believe it or not, his eye beam is more dangerous than his Dark Sabre. Cast "luck" before killing him to get 32000 moolah! Don't worry though, this is his first, and last time for you to fight him. REMINDER: Check Gai's PPs. Upgrade his entire terrain stats to S if you can! SCENARIO 42 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies before destroying Marshall Hell's Demonica. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, install the Chogokin Z and other armors on Getta Dragon, Great Mazinger and Mazinger-Z. Assuming you got a lot of money in the previous scenario, upgrade Mazinger-Z and Getta Dragon's stats and weapons as much as you could! If you must, spend all your cash on them! Start the scenario and you will be attacked by Birdara. If Mazinger-Z, Great Mazinger or Getta Robo or your mothership is destroyed, game over. 2) Kill the Mikene beasts and Megasaurus as usual and later, Mazinkaiser and Shin Getta will be deployed, with 2 supporting Mikene Beasts in their squad. Your mission objective is to decrease their HPs to 1000 or less, and if you destroy them or if Mazinger-Z, Great Mazinger, Getta Robo or your mothership is destroyed, you will lose the scenario. Mazinkaiser and Shin Getta are both piloted by AI Circuits so they will be a bit dumb, which is really good. The only thing is that they are 50000-HP tanks, but still it's not a problem at all. Don't cast much seishins either! Not worth it. Just continuously attack them and heal if you're criticially damaged. That's it. Note: they regenerate their HP a lot after each turn, so when you attack them, always use support attacks and squad attacks. The more damage you do, the better. Now is also a good time for you to recover your seishins if your squads have SP Recover. Remember that if you destroy Shin Getta and Mazinkaiser, game over! Look at their HP gauges as well! 3) Birdara is very easy since he has no ALL-type attacks. He won't snipe you either. Instead, he'll constantly claw you to shreds, which is really not a big deal, just watch your HP gauge. If you think you won't make it, defend. You reall don't need to cast too much spells to defeat this guy. All you have to do is to constantly rain him down with your mediocre attacks until he is down (but of course, you may want to use a few strong attakcs at times just to kill him quicker than usual. 4) After you accomplish the mission, Marshall Hell appears to bug you, and 3 other NPCs will join in on the fun. As you start, take care not to attack the Mikene Beasts closest to them! Let the 3 NPCs attack them first, then when their HP is critical, proceed to kill them using your own ALL-type attacks (remember to cast "luck" or "bless", they're tons of money). The other Megasauruses and Mikene Beasts are too far away for the NPCs' target range, so don't wait, kill them quick or you'll lose money and EXP to them! 5) Marshall Hell, like Gogon is extremely easy, and requires no tactics to defeat. Heck, even the 3 NPCs can't damage him much so there's no real threat when it comes to money and EXP on this guy. Just bash him simply using any of your allies, and before defeating him, cast "luck" and "great effort" to get loads of more money and EXP, and you'll get 2 items to boot! After the scenario, you'll receive both Mazinkaiser and Shin Getta, a Synchro-attack for Mazinger-Z, Great Mazinger and Getta Dragon, and the Big Wheel Rocket Punch for Mazinger-Z. If you followed my advice and you did upgrade Mazinger-Z and Getta Dragon's stats and weapons as much as you can, their upgrades will carry over to Mazinkaiser and Shin Getta as well. IMPORTANT NOTE: DURING THE MISSION BRIEFING, YOU'RE GIVEN 2 CHOICES. I CHOSE THE FIRST ONE, SO BE GUIDED ACCORDINGLY! SCENARIO 43 SKILL POINT: Defeat Hardias within 6 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) Condense your squads to 12 again. During the intermission, go check your pilots' PPs and see if your pilots can finally learn "SP Recover", which costs 200 PP. You will ned it NOW. Put Koji in the Mazinkaiser and Ryouma in the Shin Getta. During briefing, if you picked the 1st option as I have written above, your 2 bases will attack from opposite sides, which is way better than attacking from one side. It's up to you on how you want to balance out your squads, but make sure that there is equilibrium in your placements (not pure super robots on the other side, real robots the other). Ikima, Mimashi and Amaso deploy in their Yamadanoorochis, and Hardias comes out for the very first time (although he did appear in SRW4). Attack as normal, building morale on the way. 2) Hardias is just too easy. He's not even dangerous. His attacks and defense are just plain weak. You can actually defeat him on your third turn. You won't need any special strategies to beat him up. You just treat him as if he was just another soldier with a ton of HP. The only reason why you can't destroy him fast is because all enemies except the 3 Yamadanoorochis will escape if you destroy him. Therefore, it's best that you destroy as many beasts as you can, while going around damaging Hardias (and the other 3 bosses of course). Take your time and just finish him off on your 6th turn (if there are still enemies alive by that time) to get the skill point. Ikima, Mimashi and Amaso are all easy. The only thing that's annoying about them is the fact that they will be supported by 2 stupid birds. The best tactic against them is to attack them with ALL-type attacks first to kill off those pesky birds, then just smash them to a pulp later when alone. Once you defeat Hardias, regardless if the other 3 bosses are alive or not, Gogon will appear in a souped-up Mekiros (with 55000 HP) and 2 Megasaurus Zoris. Again, if you destroyed Hardias and some beasts are alive, all surviving beasts will retreat, so MAKE SURE YOU KILL THEM ALL. 3) As for Gogon, even with a 55000-HP Mekiros, he's still a no-challenge, no-brainer boss. He's just as un-dangerous as Hardias is. Just kill the Megasaurus Zoris and their Zen companions. CAUTION: DO NOT CAST ANY SEISHIN when you're fighting Gogon, unless you NEED to otherwise. Take your time. Attack him normally using your mediocre weapons, and rarely using your final wazas. Assuming Hardias is killed in turn 6, there's no need to worry now. The reason is because if Gogon's Mikeros reaches an HP lower than 20000, an event will happen. A missile is released, but a bandaged Kinkedo emerges in his Crossbone Gundam X1, destroying it. Gogon will auto-heal, wasting your previous attacks (which is why you're not to cast too many spells). Your new mission objective is to destroy Gogon's Mikeros. If any of the missiles approach you, game over. That's the reason why you need to save your spells. You need to kill Gogon quick because you don't have the time. It also helps A LOT if most of your pilots have the SP Recover ability. So, continuously rain Gogon with final wazas, especially GaoGaiGar's Goldion Hammer, Great Mazinger's Great Booster and Mazinkaiser's Fire Blaster. If you followed my advice earlier, you should be able to take down Gogon on this 1 turn alone. 4) After you finish the scenario, if you did all the secret stuff in Scenario 38 and the scenarios before that, you will get the Hi-Nu Gundam, Nu-Gundam HWS, GP-02 and the FAZZ Gundam. You will also receive an MP F-91 (white one, not Harrison's Customized purple F-91) and an MP Nu-Gundam, complete with Funnel~Income weapon switching. Have fun upgrading your Hi-Nu Gundam! REMINDER: Check Gai's PPs. Upgrade all of his terrain stats to S! Urgent! SCENARIO 44: SKILL POINT: Defeat Cuttnal or Kelnagle within turn 5. STRATEGIES: 1) Goshogun, Yuu/Hime Brains and Raze/Nanga Brains will auto-sortie in an event, so make sure your Brain units are equipped with good items like armors, etc. You are forced to condense your squad more to 11 instead of 12. Do it, then get on with the map. You will be shown 2 blinking white squares behind Quincy's Gruncher. Your mission objective is to bring Goshogun AND Hime Brain to those 2 squares. If Goshogun or Yuu/Hime/Raza/Nanga Brains are destroyed, you will lose the scenario. Before you do anything, pick out your super robots and other offensive units. Send GaoGaiGar in the west side of the map along with a few strong units, while the rest of your other units (Goshogun and Hime included) continue north to the destination. 2) Jonathan, Quincy and Shiela will be guarding the 2 squares so be aware of their defense. Fortunately, Shiela is easy and you can just kill her in one shot using an ALL-type weapon after casting a few spells. As for Quincy, do the same, although use stronger ALL-type attacks like Gaiking's Open Face Attack or Great Mazinger's Thunder Break. If you keep on casting spells you should be able to destroy her Gruncher in two attacks only (and obviously, if you did upgrade your super robots' weapons). As for Jonathan, use Mazinkaiser's Fire Blaster (it's indeed strong enough to take down 1/3 of his life), then use Daimos or any other super robot to kill him. Not much of a strategy, but I remind you that you should use ALL-type weapons on them first TO KILL THEIR SUPPORTING UNITS, otherwise, they'll support defend the bosses, wasting your spells and your attacks. 3) At turn 3, Cuttnal and Kelnagle will commence attack at the west side of the map. Although killing them is optional, you do want to get the skill point don't you? So if you followed my advice earlier and you sent GaoGaiGar and the other offensive characters to their side of the map, you should be able to attack or counterattack them. Cuttnal will be the aggressive one and will even move towards you to attack. No need to worry, his defense is very low, and his attacks are even weak. He's not a threat, so just kill him using a few of your mechs. Once you do, you get the skill point. Kelnagle, however will be the challenge. Whenever you attack him, he will guard/defend, and that means any damage dealt to him is halved. So, first of all is to get rid of the supporting units surrounding him. Attack Kelnagle using an ALL- type attack (you have to cast "spirit" or "hot blood" because he WILL block) and once his support units have been obliterated, bring in GaoGaiGar, cast "hot blood" and smash him with the Goldion Hammer (you can take down as big as 8000-9000 HP per hit even if Kelnagle guards). Keep on casting spells and attack him ALL THE TIME, and you'll eventually take him down. You can accomplish this as early as turn 4, or turn 5 (just in time). 4) Remember that even during the fights, Goshogun and Hime Brain must keep on moving so that they could reach the 2 squares within turn 5! Don't let the battle carry you away! Always make sure you move the two of them last at the end of every turn to avoid making fatal mistakes! REMINDER: check Gai's PPs. Make sure to upgrade all of his terrain stats to S! SCENARIO 45 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, equip Goshogun with any tough armor, for Shingo will deploy it automatically in an event. Anyway as you start the scenario, Beaundore, Cuttnal and Kelnagle deploy in their respective motherships and attack the Goodthunder. Your mission objective is to prevent the Goodthunder and/or Goshogun from being destroyed, or game over. Goshogun's Goflasher will be disabled at the moment, so do take care when attacking head on. If you deployed GaoGaiGar, make him stay in one position or move him a little bit (as long as he doesn't move very far). Split your party into 3 groups, the fastest group to go north to face Cuttnal, Goshogun and the medium-level mechs to the east to fight Kelnagle, and your toughest to the west, to go against Beaundore. Start your offensive AS FAST AS YOU COULD! Remember to deploy Daitarn-3 and send him to the northern group to attack Cuttnal. Reminder: you must clear the scenario within 7 turns or else... 2) Later, Primada and Pechinen deploy the EI-15 and other beasts infected with the Zondar Metal. They will sortie them right where you just deployed, that is why you're advised not to move GaoGaiGar too far. Believe it or not, GaoGaiGar can take on the entire army easily (Protect Shade really blocks almost everything). However, bring with him a companion, preferably one of your motherships or anyone with ALL-type weapons or MAP weapons. Anyway, just beat them up with Broken Magnum and you will do fine. However, you might want to cast "luck" on Gai before destroying EI-15... it will yield some money this time. REMINDER: CHECK PURU AND PURU TWO's KILL COUNT IF THEY MANAGED TO MAKE 30 KILLS EACH. IF THEY HAVEN'T, USE THEM TO KILL A LOT OF ENEMIES IN THIS SCENARIO! 3) Continue as normal in squishing Beaundore, Cuttnal and Kelnagle. Their defenses are really low, but their attacks are something else to worry about because both Beaundore and Cuttnal attack using ALL-type flash beams while Kelnagle rams you silly with his own mothership. Cuttnal is nothing to worry about, but Kelnagle is (he could take down a big chunk of HP if your mechs aren't upgraded in armor or if you're not careful). As for Beaundore, his Flasher Beam will hurt innocent squad members, or perhaps kill them (since it's an ALL-type attack). If you attack him, at least attack him on point blank range with a very strong weapon (however, casting "hot blood" and executing Mazinkaiser's Fire Blaster eats up more than 1/3 of his HP). Resume fighting them as if they are soldiers, BUT TAKE SPECIAL ATTENTION ON YOUR SQUADS THAT GO NORTH TO FACE CUTTNAL. Goodthunder can't be controlled and is located near Cuttnal, so move your northbound units (Daitarn-3) FAST. 4) After destroying a certain amount of enemies, Koros and Megaborg Benmel appear in the northern side of the map where Cuttnal originally was stationed that's why you're told to send Daitarn-3 to the northbound group. Actually, both Koros, Megaborg Benmel and their Megaborg squads are all very easy. Megaborg Benmel is still weak on both offense and defense, while Koros is slow but can snipe. Defeat Koros first since she's in the 3-turreted Nibelgen. Smash it head-on at close range first, then finish her off using Daitarn-3's Sun Attack. As for Megaborg Benmel, he's the opposite. Snipe him using your Mobile Suits and finish him off using Daitarn-3 (if you want to build Banjou's LV and make him gain more PPs in the process). An event will take place after you defeated everyone, and Goshogun will finally have its GoFlasher upgraded into GoFlasher Special, which is now ALL-type. FINAL REMINDER: check Gai's PPs and make sure you improve all of his terrain to S before the start of the next scenario! That's why I told you to fight an entire army using GaoGaiGar alone because you need the PPs badly! If you failed doing all his PPs to S, it's ok, but it's for Star GaoGaiGar, so for your sake, I hope you managed to do this earlier as reminded... IMPORTANT NOTE: DURING THE BRIEFING, YOU ARE GIVEN 2 OPTIONS. I CHOSE THE FIRST ONE (GO TO TOKYO), SO THIS FAQ WILL FOLLOW THAT ROUTE! SCENARIO 46 SKILL POINT: Bring any ally on any of the glowing squares within 7 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, upgrade GaoGaiGar's weapons as well as Goldimarg's. As for Big Volfogg, Enryu and Houryu, install some Chogokin Z armors and a Zormanium Alloy (you received this armors for defeating Beaundore, Cuttnal and Kelnagle in the previous scenario). Re-arrange your squads and insert Goshogun into one of them. Start the scenario. Deploy your 1st 6 squads, then deploy your next 6 squads (they will sortie in the other end of the map). Your mission objective is to bring one of your units to one of the blinking white squares surrounding the Tokyo Tower. You will be blocked by EIs and lots of Zondar Metal-infected units, so beware! REMINDER: CHECK PURU AND PURU TWO's KILL COUNT. MAKE SURE THAT EACH OF THEM HAVE MANAGED TO MAKE 30 KILLS. IF THEY HAVEN'T, THEN USE THEM TO KILL A LOT OF ENEMIES IN THIS SCENARIO. THIS WILL BE YOUR LAST CHANCE TO DO SO!! 2) Once GaoGaiGar kills an enemy, the 4 Heavenly Zondar Kings appear. Pizza the flying Zondar, Polognese the Train Zondar in one squad with Primada another flying Zondar, and finally, Penchinon the ship Zondar. Believe it or not, these 4 are extremely easy, and you can beat them up to a pulp as if they are normal soldiers or something. However, if your units are a bit low on morale or don't have the "Kiryoku Damage" ability, then might as well kill on some more soldiers before dealing with these 4 bozos. Pizza appears near Gai while Polognese, Primada and Penchinon appear near Big Volfogg and ChoRyuJin. IMPORTANT NOTE: GAI MUST ATTACK PIZZA, CHORYUJIN MUST ATTACK POLOGNESE AND PRIMADA WHILE BIG VOLFOGG MUST ATTACK PENCHINON. 3) Defeating Pizza requires you to cast "concentrate" and "lock on" often, especially in Gai's case. If GaoGaiGar's power is potentially upgraded for a lot of slots, you can take him down with 2 hits using 2 hot-blooded Goldion Hammers. Otherwise, if you're conserving EN or you want others to damage him for you, then it's not a problem. Pizza is not a threat when it comes to the offensive... his attacks are generally weak. The only thing to note out is his dodge rate, and if your units are not that good in hitting, the largest dodge rate you could get from him would be 65%. You have your spells, so use them, then when his HP is less than 14000 HP, make Gai cast the relevant spells (don't forget to cast "bless" on him), and finally kill him using GaoGaiGar's Goldion Hammer (GaoGaiGar MUST KILL HIM). 4) Penchinon is threatening only when you shoot from afar. Technically, this ship with a big eye has one weapon... its just that the other is an ALL type attack. Ironically, even with his "eye", he has a blind spot, and that means you have to attack him up close, or at least one spot away from him. Remember, expect him to be constantly protected by the Zondar Barrier. Don't waste your squad's resources. Just attack him alone. He has a high armor rating, so you may need to smash him continuously (in a short range of course). Remember, don't attack using squad attacks. It's a waste. When his HP is down to lower than 6000, bring Big Volfogg in and slay the marine creature using his Chou Bunshin Sappou (remember to cast "hot blood"). 5) The most annoying to kill are Polognese and Primada. Although they are both easy, the fact that they support defend each other just galls. To defeat them you will have to execute ALL-type attacks often like Wing 0 Custom's Double Buster Rifle and Gaiking's Open Face Attack. When you smash them silly, attack Polognese normally with a normal or weak attack and he'll be support defended by Primada. Once Primada runs out of chances to do support defense, cast your spells and attack Polognese with your most powerful attacks until his HP is critical. Bring in ChoRyuJin and kill him. With Polognese down, Primada is the only one left and believe me she's a LOT easier. Given the opportunity, repeatedly attack her as normal and destroy her using ChoRyuJin again. 6) Remember that while destroying the enemies, you have a certain time limit if you want to get the skill point. If you deployed Mother Vanguard as the mothership, cast "accelerate" and move in AS QUICK AS YOU COULD while all the fight was going on. You should be able to make it by turn 5 or so. LAST REMINDER: CHORYUJIN MUST DEFEAT POLOGNESE AND PRIMADA, GAI MUST DEFEAT PIZZA AND BIG VOLFOGG MUST DEFEAT PENCHINON. Doing so, you can possibly get the Star GaoGaiGar later on. Now, check Puru and Puru Two's kill count. By now they should have kill counts of 30 or more. If not, they should have at least 25 kills. If your kill counts are insufficient, use them to kill more and more mechs next time until they kill 30 each. However, you will have little chance to do so in the next scenarios, which is why you're being pressured to destroy as many as you could before this stage began. SCENARIO 47 SKILL POINT: Destroy all enemies and EI-01 within 7 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) Like the previous scenario, this one will be short and interesting. You are now to start your final battle with the Zondar boss, Pasda (EI-01). First off, CAST AS MUCH SPELLS AS YOU COULD. For those brittle units like heal units, cast "flash", "concentrate" or "iron wall". Just cast all the spells you see fit. Move Big Volfogg a bit farther, and move someone strong forward near him (attack if you wish, he'll just defend). By going forward, an event will occur, and all of your party's HP and EN will be halved. Spell casting is disabled, and morale drains to 80 (50 for GaoGaiGar mechs). If any of the GaoGaiGar mechs are killed or if you fail to defeat Pasda/EI-01 within 8 turns, game over. 2) Sets of Zondars appear in the map. If you followed my advice earlier and cast all the spells like hell, then you should be able to take out all the EI-02s in one turn alone, leaving 3 tougher Zondars left. They are still easy though, so don't bother... just keep on defending. On your next turn switch your healers as the leader of their squads and start healing the squads that need the most repair (usually the one that EI-01 attacked). EI-01 will keep on guarding/defending whenever you attack him though. 3) Later an event occurs again. The GaoGaiGar squads seek refuge in the Dangan X. Your mission objective is to destroy EI-01 within 8 turns and prevent that capsule Dangan X from being destroyed. But that's not a problem, if you followed my advice earlier and you managed to destroy all the EI-02s, then there will be nothing to defend from, so you're breathing lightly. On your next turn, everyone gets beefed up on morale and HP/EN fully recovered. However, your GaoGaiGar squads have a morale of a whopping 300! You may now proceed to destroy Pasda/EI-01 now. 4) If you want to get Star GaoGaiGar later, have GaoGaiGar attack EI-01 from afar (well not too far, that is) and pray that he gets damaged heavily. Although this next step is not proven (a hoax at its own right), but do it: Then take out your most powerful MAP unit (it may either be Wing 0 Custom or FAZZ Gundam). However, before doing so make sure Goldimarg casts "iron wall" first. Have your MAP weapon using character cast "spirit" or "hot blood" and shoot your map weapon at GaoGaiGar. Hopefully it won't kill him, but it is suitable enough to drain its HP down to less than 500. 5) From this point on, you're one attack away from a game over. But no need to worry... even though EI-01's a GIANT TANK with 190000 HP, he's still easy. Since all your characters are extra beefy, just cast your spells and keep on smashing him. Do so for GaoGaiGar as well (a fully-upgraded Goldion Hammer can eat up 25000 or more HP from EI-01). However, the danger is not on GaoGaiGar, but GOLDIMARG (GaoGaiGar has Protect Shade that virtually blocks almost EVERYTHING). Cast "trust" on Goldimarg, but NOT "FRIENDSHIP". With Pasda having 17000 HP, make Gai cast all the necessary spells, and of course, "hot blood". Use the Goldion Hammer and kill Pasda. BOOM. SCENARIO 48 SKILL POINT: Within 6 turns, there should be only 6 enemy squads left. STRATEGIES: 1) You should prolly have gotten Star GaoGaiGar by now. Go to the add-on menu and install the Stealth Gao II on GaoGaiGar to make him Star GaoGaiGar. Afterwards, install good armor on Goshogun and upgrade its stats and weapons as you see fit. Do the same for Daiku Maryu. Start the scenario, and you'll notice that the 3 Dokuga Generals Beaundore, Cuttnal and Kelnagle are deployed in the map attacking the Goodthunder. If Goodthunder or Goshogun is destroyed, you lose the scenario. Goshogun and Daiku Maryu appear. Deploy your squads and choose Mother Vanguard as your other mothership. Spread your squads evenly to reach the 3 Dokuga Generals, and focus all flying units towards Kelnagle (the one with the green skin and yellow eyes). As for the enemies, you may want to cast "luck" before killing squads of those Debizers (the ones that look like Octopusses). If you kill a squad that has 2 Debizers in, you could cash in on 14800 if you cast "luck" or "bless". Don't forget that! Otherwise, the money comes from the Dokuga Generals! And another tip... even though you have to kill enemy squads until 6 are left... that doesn't mean you can't kill members of it. If there are a few squads left, keep on klling and leave at least 1 member of the squad alive so you wont miss much money! A squad's a squad even with 1 unit left alive! 2) Apparently, the only "boss" in this stage is except Genaph that flying fish thingy. It will attack you, SO IGNORE it. Instead, just keep on killing as many Dokuga Mecha as you can, so you can earn the skill point fast. You don't need many strategies to defeat them. If there are only 6 enemy squads left or if you decrease the Genaph fishie's HP to 23000 or so, a trigger will take place. All remaining alive enemies will retreat and an event happens, which will lead you to lotsa missiles. Destroy them all. They only have 10000 HP, but don't cast "luck", they yield only 10 moolah per kill. If one of the missiles exit the map, game over. 3) BUG ALERT: after compiling all the data from various Alpha 2 players, it seems that the game will hang when you end your turn after the missiles appear. Apparently it all points to that fish thingie, Genaph. Whatever you do, DON'T ATTACK IT OR DON'T COUNTERATTACK IT IF IT ATTACKS YOU. In other words, that fish must not have its HP deducted. EVER. 4) The Dokuga Generals are easy to beat... IMPORTANT NOTE: REMEMBER TO KILL ALL OF THEM BEFORE TURN 6, IF YOU WANT THEM TO JOIN YOU ON THE LAST SCENARIO LATER ON. If you want to pull it off, you must send your best and strongest FLYING units to Kelnagle, Daiku Maryu and Mother Vanguard to Cuttnal and your super robots to Beaundore. Cuttnal is the closest and will attack head on so it's not surprising that you should be able to kill him first. It's Kelnagle that needs some speed killing, and you will need to cast spells to reach him fast. As for Beaundore, cheese him fast using Goshogun and your other super robots. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO CAST "LUCK" OR "BLESS" BEFORE KILLING THEM. They are worth lotsa money. You should be able to take them all out on turn 4 or so. Very easy stuff. They will appear as allies in the other edge of the map when the missiles appear, so once they do, make sure you have Kelnagle cast "hot blood" and ram the missiles fast since you're running out of time and there are lots of them. Good luck! SCENARIO 49 SKILL POINT: Within 4 turns, there should be only 6 enemy squads left. STRATEGIES: 1) As you settle in space, you are to once again fight Belgan in the Skullrook, Ashimof and Killer in their respectinve Green and Yellow Grotecters. Before starting the offensive, you would want to cast some morale-building spells if you want to strengthen your weapons early. When their turn comes, they will attack head on. On your 2nd turn, bring in your units and first smash the 2 Garnrolls that are piloted by Bahm soldiers. Remember to cast "luck" or "bless" for the money. Once you defeated the 2 of them you can start dealing with the other big beasts like the Zonnekaiser. Ignore the other small beast fighters that have 4300 HP... instead, move your squads toward the dangerous ones such as the Black Monsters (they yield LOTS of money). If you want to save time, resources and spells, kill them by squads, and that means you should use ALL-type attacks to do so. FAZZ Gundam and Hi-Nu Gundam work wonders against these. REMEMBER: BY PRIORITY, DESTROY THE BOSSES AND TEH BIG-HP MONSTERS FIRST BEFORE TAKING ON THE SMALLER ONES. Tip: Apply the technique from the previous scenario here. Like the last time, if there are only 6 squads remaining, all enemies will retreat. Therefore, you can't afford to destroy low-money monsters at the expense of bigger-money ones. If after destroying the bosses and the big monsters, there are only 7 squads left, check the remaining squads. Pick the ones that yield the most money (you can save, then reload to check-experiment). Then, once you have seen who yields the most money, start killing MEMBERS OF THE REMAINING 6 SQUADS. Meaning, take down the ones that have the most HP, and make sure you leave only 1 member alive (else it counts as 1 entire squad eliminated). Once you have destroyed every enemy this way and you left one cheap enemy alive, proceed to destroy the other squad that yields the most money. That way, you get as much moolah as you could possibly have. No waste. 2) Belgan's Skullrook is really not a big pain... all you have to do is to fire an ALL-type attack on him to destroy the saucers that surround his Skullrook. Afterwards, pound him using GaoGaiGar's Goldion Hammer and your other super robots. The same strategy apply to Ashimof and Killer, only for them, use a STRONGER ALL-type attack because they're supported by Black Monsters. Remember to cast "luck" and "bless" too, they yield lotsa moolah. The Grotecters have only 25000 HP, so they're easier to kill. Remember, boss squads are also counted in the squad killing... so make sure you kill every boss first, and that when you kill these 3 bosses, there should be at least 7 more squads remaining... else you won't be getting as much money. 3) Once all enemies squad count reaches 6, all enemies escape and Haman arrives and the game will give you two choices. PICK THE FIRST ONE. Doing so, you can get lots of units and special weapons... and you also get Dorel Ronah later. Picking the second option just yields you GP-02's Atomic Bazooka and you can fight her, so the 1st option is the best hands down choice! If Puru and Puru Two's kill count are 30 each, you will get 2 MP Quebeleys, and if you're in the hard level, you get a free Dobenwolf for your troubles. Dorel will join in his Belga Dallas and Bright's Ra-Kailum get strong missiles. One good reason to upgrade the Ra-Kailum mothership from this point on. SCENARIO 50 SKILL POINT: Destroy Belgan's Zandarl within 7 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, expand your squads to 13. Assuming you have chosen to go on a truce with Haman by picking the 1st option earlier (as prescribed by this guide), then you should be able to get 2 MP Quebeleys, 1 Dobenwolf, Dorel Ronah in his Belga Dallas and Ra-Kailum should be getting 2 additional strong missile attacks. Although the previous Quebeleys are better than the MP Quebeleys in terms of support power, it's up to your discretion if you want to transfer the Puru Twins there or not. As for Dorel Ronah, if you have the Crossbone Gundam X2, equip the ABC Mantle on it and put Dorel in that unit instead of his sucky Belga Dallas. As for the Dobenwolf, if you are using Kayra Sue a lot, remove her from the MP Nu-Gundam (I) and put her in the Dobenwolf. Well, it's your choice actually. For spending, I recommend spending some moolah on Ra-Kailum's armor and HP. For its weapons, I suggest upgrading its weapons up by 1 to make the 4900-power missiles into 5000. Afterwards, upgrade Daimos, Combattler-V and Voltes-V, and equip them with the necessary EN and armor editing parts. For Galba FX II, update Koushirou by increasing his dodging ability, which means spending PPs. Install on Galba FX II any items that increases its mobility and dodging capabilities. 2) Start the scenario, and you can field test your newfound stuff by deploying Ra-Kailum as the other mothership to accompany Daiku Maryu. If you expanded your squads to 13, make the necessary last-minute adjustments (if any) and deploy them. Voltes-V and Combattler-V will be put in on squad. Daimos and Galba FX II go together. They won't be movable. Your mission objective is to destroy all enemies or survive 4 turns. If Voltes-V, Combattler-V, Daimos or Galba FX II are destroyed, game over (which is technically impossible). Every turn, Small Bahm will make its pyramid shoot plasma energy at any of your squads, decreasing their HP and EN by half. You should really glance at your HP after every combat. If one of your squads have less than half of their total HP and they haven't been shot at by the pyramid yet, you'd make sure you better heal that squad quick because you can't take any chances in case they pyramid fires and hits them. As for the enemies, they are all virtually easy. Just remember to cast "bless" and "luck" often. That's it. 3) After 4 turns an event takes place. Combattler-V, Voltes-V, Daimos and Galba FX II deploys in the map with a surprise... Prince Hinell in his Godol and Richter in the Gimeria are in one squad and join you as allies! However, Belgan finally appears in the Zandarl, and with him 2 sets of Skullrooks and Cobrahds. To add spice, they unleash Small Bahm's guardian, the God Amon. It has 92000 HP and its Aizaron Beam is something to be feared. But not to worry though, your party shall start in the same spot where you left them. The enemies are just so few, so zero in and crush them! 4) Be mindful that although Gimeria and Godol both have 8000 or so HP, they are still prone to attacks by Belgan and the God Amons. Whenever God Amon and Belgan attack and target the Hinell-Richter squad, DEFEND. Their attacks are strong enough to take them down if you're not careful. In addition, Hinell has "love", so don't be afraid to cast that later if you think it's very necessary to do so (such as if you're in a hurry and you need to kill Belgan faster than usual). It's best if the squad leader is Hinell for many good reasons... Richter has support defend, Hinell doesn't. Another one is that his Godol has more HP and performs better in the battlefield. Richter's Gimeria can snipe, but it's useless since your enemies can snipe too. 5) Whatever you do, don't kill the Zandarl first before anything else. If you do, all surviving enemies will self-destruct. You can destroy the other units and the 2 God Amons easily if you cheese them by casting many spells. You really don't need much strategies to defeat them... just bombard them with your most powerful attacks and you should be fine. Belgan himself is not intimidating... he's absolutely easy although he can snipe with his cyclone attack. He's a big tanker, so he's another guy that you'll have to cheese by casting all of your spells. Use Goldion Hammer to its fullest extent, and you can destroy him in no time at all. Easy kill. SCENARIO 51 SKILL POINT: Clear the scenario within 8 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) Equip good armor on Daiku Maryu and Gaiking, and make sure that at least one of them is a PROPELLANT TANK (rejuventates EN). For Gaiking's squad, if there are any support units, make sure that one of them has at least one propellant tank. Upgrade Daiku Maryu's armor. Start. Deploy your choice of mothership, preferably the Ra-Kailum. Deploy your squads as normal. If you would notice, the 4 Heavenly Kings of Darius are again in their own respective Grotecters. Your mission objective is to destroy all enemies. They are not much of a challenge though... just destroy them as you see fit. However, do cast "luck" or "bless" once you attempt to destroy the squads that have the Moon Condor and Black Monsters in it. They yield a lot of dough, so use ALL-type attacks to kill the entire squad in one blow. 2) The 4 Heavenly Kings are again, no challenge. You would want to get rid of their puny support units first by using ALL-type attacks again. Once they are all alone in their own squads, simply smash them and do cast some of your spells to kill them quick. Don't forget "luck" and "bless". Lotsa cash. Once they're dead, transform Daiku Maryu to Ballution mode. 3) Later, King Darius himself appears with 4 squads of Moon Condors. The Moon Condors are not challenging, but concentrate your offensive at Darius. Like the previous bosses, he is dangerous if attacked at a distance instead of head-on. First off, his projectile attack is a 3~12 ranger, so don't even think about using your Mobile Suits to snipe him unless you have them cast defensive spells like "flash" and "iron wall". Don't expect too much from the "concentrate" spell, you can't risk a 30% dodge rate. Not only is his projectile attack long ranged, it's an ALL-type attack as well. Darius is surprisingly easy, but do keep your patience a lot longer if he constantly attacks Daiku Maryu. That's why you're instructed to keep Daiku Maryu in Ballution mode, to increase its defense, and to activate its Synchro-Attack with Gaiking... the powerful FIRE CAR CUTTER. 4) Killing Darius is not that hard... like previous bosses, he's best attacked at close range. With Gaiking and Daiku Maryu's Fire Car Cutter activated, use it to attack Darius (oh, and make sure that any support unit in Gaikings squad cast defensive spells). If you cast "hot blood" and upgraded Gaiking's weapons, it should deal 16000 or so damage against Darius. Take note that it will eat up A LOT of EN, so if you followed my advice earlier, have both Gaiking and Daiku Maryu use their propellant tanks if their EN is very low. Take note of your other super robot's attacks. Some of their final wazas, such as Daimos' Reppu Sekken Tsuki Kai and Voltes-V's Chodenji Ball V No Jigiri can be executed at a distance. If their range is 1~2 or 1~3, use these robots to attack Darius at least one square away, not directly beside him. This is to give way for Daitarn-3 to execute its Sun Attack (and you should let Banjou cast "spirit" if he has learned it by now). Like the 4 Heavenly Kings, CHEESE Darius and cast all of your spells to kill him quick. However, expect to be heavily damaged by his sword slashes... he looks like a Tengu, and he's as deadly as a Tengu. His slash alone can drain 3/4 of GaoGaiGar's HP even with Protect Shade on. Expect to do some healing in this case ("trust" is enough, but use "friendship" if a squad is damaged). If you did crush him with lotsa cheese, you can beat him by turn 6 or 7. SCENARIO 52 SKILL POINT: Destroy all Dougachi clones before killing the real Dougachi. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, upgrade your Crossbone Gundams and Mother Vanguard. Equip some good items on them too. If Dorel did join you, and you put him in the Crossbone Gundam X2, then that's good. When done, start the scenario. Haman finally joins you in her 92000-HP Quebeley and supported by 2 MP Quebeleys piloyed by Enhanced Humans. She's your ally, but she can't be controlled (duh). Anyway, you're up against the Jupiter Empire. Your mission objective is to destroy the Jupiteris 9 (the farthest one). No need to worry though, they are all easy to beat. Don't be intimidated by the pairs of Raflessias, Elegoleas and the Giri-Rosemary-Burns squad. 2) The Giri-Rosemary-Burns squad is easy now that you have Hi-Nu Gundam and other stronger mechs with ALL-type attacks. Step 1: cast spells, attack them with ALL-type attacks, preferably Hi-Nu Gundam's Fin Funnels and Wing 0 Custom and Early Type's Buster Rifles. This should kill Rosemary. Step 2: By then Burn's HP is less than half now. Bring in a strong super robot and KILL BURNS FIRST (you have to target him and attack him using your current super robot alone). Once you kill him, Giri is left. Destroy Giri using any mech you wish, preferably any Crossbone Gundam character. Dead. 3) Remember that Haman will attack any enemy with the lowest HP. Therefore, you must make sure that you don't leave any enemy left alive with critical HP, like 3000 or so. Haman's Funnels is ranged 13, so expect her to have a very long reach. By priority, if a Raflessia has 6000 HP left and there's someone with 3000 HP left, KILL THE ONE WITH THE 3000 HP FIRST. 4) The rest of the Jupiter Empire is easy. Once you have defeated the last Jupiteris 9 (the farthest one in the back), Dougachi, or rather Dougachi, Dougachi, Dougachi, Dougachi, Dougachi, Dougachi, and Dougachi will deploy in the map in 33000-HP Divinidads! And you thought the worst is over. Don't be deceived. They look menacing, but they are ABSOLUTELY EASY. Their defense is low and with 33000 HP, you can easily take them out. HOWEVER, FOLLOW THIS STRATEGY: DON'T KILL ANY OF THE DIVINIDADS. INSTEAD, DECREASE THEIR HP DOWN TO CRITICAL. For some reason, Haman will start attacking using her Beam Gun instead of Funnels. With the Divinidad being defended with I-Field she can do only minimal damage. Oh yeah, don't even think about destroying a batch of them using map weapons. Dougahi's leadership ability makes him immune to those, so if you attack with a map weapon, it deals 0 damage. 5) TAKE YOUR TIME in depleting their HPs to critical state. However, while you are doing it, move your squads a little forward, reaching the back of those Divinidads. Once they are a little bit to their backs, look at Haman. Kill the Divinidads that are closest to her (to avoid her from killing them) and do it FAST. Oh, cast "great effort" or "aid" on the squads that kill each. HE'S WORTH LOTS OF EXP. Once you kill 2 or so Divinidads, an event will take place and the REAL Dougachi will appear in a REAL Divinidad, which is a souped up version with 160000 HP and even longer range with an even stronger armor. If you followed my advice and you moved your party, Dougachi should be just a stone's throw in distance. In other words, you can immediately smash him. However, there's one other thing... YOU ONLY HAVE THREE TURNS TO DESTROY THE REAL DOUGACHI, ELSE GAME OVER. Assuming there are only 5 or so clone Divinidads left (with critical HP), finish them off easily in one blow. Now that the Attack Of The Clones is over, proceed to kill the Count Dooku of the Jupiter Empire, the REAL Clux Dougachi. 6) Divinidad's Phaser Funnels and Mega Beam Cannons are dangerous, but they have blind spots. Again, like King Darius earlier, the only way you are safest is if you attack Dougachi head on. EXPECT YOUR SUPPORT UNITS TO BE HEAVILY DAMAGED. Divinidad's attacks are ALL-type. Once a support unit is damaged tremendously, cast "friendship" or "trust". If you did follow my advice earlier and you advanced your party, the real Dougachi should be deployed in the middle or near your squads, making him easy target. Quickly cheese him and cast all the good spells. Transform Daiku Maryu to Ballution Mode and attack him using the Fire Car Cutter (Daiku Maryu's Synchro-attack with Gaiking). Mazinkaiser's Fire Blaster, Great Mazinger's Great Booster and Shin Getta-1's Stoner Sun Shine works wonders. Once the Divinidad's HP is low, you can do whatever you want and choose who gets to kill him. For a dramatic effect, you can use Tovia or Kinkedo, even Bella to kill him, but just remember to cast "luck"/"bless" and "great effort"/"aid" beforehand. SCENARIO 53 SKILL POINT: DESTROY EITHER LEOROULA, SAZABI OR ALL MUSAKAS. STRATEGIES: 1) Upgrade Nelly Brain, Hime Brain and Hi-Nu Gundam. Equip good items on them. By now Haman should have joined you in her now toned-down Quebeley, so if you plan to upgrade it (and you SHOULD), upgrade the Quebeley's EN and mobility. Haman's leadership bonus is +40% to squad attacks so you should take advantage of it and put semi-strong support units on her squad such as Gundam Heavy Arms Custom (piloted by either Zechs or Noin), etc. Also, make sure that FOUR and the PURU TWINS are deployed in this scenario. Now deploy your squads. Yuu and Hime will auto-deploy. Quincy and Shiela are there to attack you, with LOADS of Grunchers at their disposal. Mission objective is to destroy all enemies. They are not hard, but annoying because they can really dodge well so expect a lot of your attacks to miss. Take your time in kill them and build your morale. Shiela is still weak and her own Gruncher is even weaker. She's just like your normal cannon-fodder soldier. As for Quincy, after you attack her an event occurs and she sorties in her own personalized Red Baronzue with 50000 HP. Don't be deceived: she's EASY. Jonathan appears in his own White Baronzue. Your new mission objective: defeat both Jonathan and Quincy. Oh yeah, if Yuu or Hime dies, game over. 2) Easy in fact, that you really don't need special strategies to beat THEM up. In fact, their hit rates on Yuu and Hime is 0% if their Brains have pumped up mobility of 176 or higher. Oh well... just beat them up with your squads AND DON'T CAST TOO MANY SPELLS. Jonathan's Baronzue has half of Quincy's, at around 25000 or 27000 HP. They both have very weak armor and even their Chakra Shields can't save them from your relentless assaults. Don't use too much EN against them either. Instead, smash them little by little with simple yet powerful attacks. Once you defeat them, Baron Maximillian appears in ANOTHER Baronzue. Fortunately, even this masked felon is easy. You may need to start casting a few spells now to beat him up fast. Using Arad and Zeora alone is even enough to crush him like an ant. Don't be intimidated by his high-HP Baronzue. Belive me, he's VIRTUALLY HARMLESS. 3) Once all the Grunchers are defeated, Char finally appears with his squads from CCA, mixed with Cima, Gato, Kelly and Rakan. Your new mission objective is to do either of the following: destroy Nanai's Leoroula, destroy Char's Sazabi or destroy all Musakas (the red moherships). Just do one of them and you get the skill point too. If you followed my advice earlier and you conserved all of your EN, then this mission is a piece of crumb cake. First off, DESTROY ALL MUSAKAS BUT LEAVE ONE ALIVE, preferably, the one that is farthest from you. Take note that all Musakas are headed towards the Orphan (that cool naked yellow-glowing gigantic chick in the background). Rakan, Cima and Rezun are all easy and can be taken out in one shot using a hot blooded Fire Blaster from Mazinkaiser (of course by now Mazin Power is already activated and you might have upgraded its weapons too). As for Gato, you will need to attack him using an ALL-type attack first to kill off his Gelgoog support units (one of them is Karius). Once he's alone, slowly smash him, but take note that he's good in dodging even if he's in that big Neue Ziel, so do cast "lock on" if necessary. As for Kelly, avoid bringing large crowds to him so that he won't use his MAP attack. Well, he prolly won't be able to use it anyway since he'll SNIPE YOU. But nevertheless he's just cannon-fodder... like Gato, execute an ALL-type attack to destroy his support units, then squash him like a bug! 4) Gyunei and Quess are still sick and demented. However, they will be in ALPHA AZIELS instead of their customized Jagd Dogas. Oh well... the Alpha Aziels have 33000 HP and have low armor, so they are still easy to beat. However, like Gato, they are good in dodging. Do the same tactic to them as you did to Gato and Kelly... execute an ALL-type attack to destroy their supporting units, then destroy the main targets easily. They are virtually harmless even though their Funnels are ALL-type attacks, so there's no need to worry. 5) By now, if you followed directions earlier, the only enemies left in the map are NANAI in her LEOROULA, CHAR in his SAZABI and ONE MUSAKA that you prolly blocked with some of your weak units. Take note that you can't beat them all, even with MAP weapons because they're too far apart. And if you destroy one of them, the scenario ends. Therefore, you should now focus your attacks on CHAR. By now you have all the experience in fighting this blondie, so there's no need to worry. Not only do you have kickass units, but you also have upgraded them as well, so Char's a lot less dangerous than he was before. Just be careful of his Funnels... they are still ALL-type attacks and he can still snipe you. But there's no need to worry... with GaoGaiGar, Mazinkaiser, Shin Getta-1, Hi-Nu Gundam and Great Mazinger you can finish this guy off in one turn. Now is a good time to cast ALL OF YOUR SPELLS AND CHEESE HIM WITH ALL OF YOUR ATTACKS. Change Daiku Maryu into Ballution Mode and have Gaiking execute the Fire Car Cutter. Now your next problem is how to hit him with units that don't have "lock on". Well, if you followed my advice earlier and you deployed FOUR MURSAME and the PURU TWINS, have them cast "inspire" on those units to give them the "lock on" ability. Now continually mash Char until he has less than 10000 HP left. With Amuro left, have him cast "spirit", then cast "inspire", "bless" and "aid" on him. Execute the Hi-Nu Gundam's Fin Funnel to destroy Sazabi. WIN. SCENARIO 54 SKILL POINT: CLEAR THE MAP WITHIN 7 TURNS. STRATEGIES: 1) Following the earlier strategies, you would have had 600000 or more moolah. Upgrade any units that you deem fit. Now, check your squads. Make sure that GaoGaiGar's squad can fly, and that Amuro's squad can fly. Well, technically you may want to ensure that all super robot squads can fly. Again, make sure that Four and the Puru twins are deployed like last time. Now deploy. As you can see, the scenario is full of water which slows down movement. You need to clear the map within 7 turns to get the skill point, which will be very hard if all of your power players can't move fast. If you followed all the necessary requirements earlier, Char would have deployed in his good ol pal, the NIGHTINGALE. Not only is it big with 160000 HP, it also has 1900 armor to boot! It adds up to the challenge, so quickly move your squads to the enemy and destroy all the soldiers that get in your way! 2) Thankfully, Quess and Gyunei are back in their respective Jagd Dogas and Gato is now alone in his Neue Ziel. Since Gato is now alone you can just kill him easily with any unit you want, preferably Kou in his GP-03. As for Rakan, Rezun and Cima, again, you can kill them easily with a hot blooded Fire Blaster, or if you want you can do the same tactic earlier: destroy their support units first by executing an ALL-type attack, then destroy the main targets last. The same thing can be applied to Quess and Gyunei, so technically, you're faced with no challenge left... it's time for the big boss... Char Aznable in the Nightingale. But before you proceed to attack Char, keep on moving and bring Ra-Kailum near the Leoroula. You need to damage those motherships while the fight with Char is going on. Remember you have a time limit of 7 turns to get the skill point. But honestly, I don't find it worth it to get the skill point, especially now since you're only 3 scenarios away to finishing the game. So it's up to you to decide. 3) First off, Nightingale, like the other previous bosses are more dangerous when attacked from a distance because its Funnels are ALL-type. So the best way to attack Char is head-on. To be quite frank, Char's not hard... just ANNOYING because his Nightingale has a mobility of 140, which boosts his dodge rate A LOT, even Amuro's hit rate is only 30%. Oh well, simply cheese him with all your attacks and spells like you did last time (and don't be afraid to use up your entire EN like using Gaiking and Daiku Maryu to do the Fire Car Cutter). He will eventually go down in your 2nd turn. For a dramatic effect, you can even use Amuro to deliver the killing blow. Just remember that sometimes, your super robots need to conserve their spells even though you have SP recovery items or your support pilots have the "anticipate" spell, which is why again, you are instructed to bring out Four and the Puru Twins to cast "inspire" on Amuro and the rest that need the "lock on" effect. When all is done, the only one left is Nanai in her Leouroula with 3 or so Musakas. Very easy, no need for special strategies. Just kill them as you see fit and cast "luck" or "bless" beforehand! SCENARIO 55 SKILL POINT: Clear the map within 7 turns. STRATEGIES: 1) Expand your squads to 16, and upgrade your super robots, especially Great Mazinger and Koutetsu Jeeg. Equip them good items. Now deploy. You are about to attack the Mikene Empire. Meeting you outside are Ikima, Amaso and Mimashi in their own Yamadanoorochis with lotsa combinations of squads of Mobile Suits, Megasauruses, Mikene Beasts and Meganoids. Now notice the 3 missile silos that the Mikene base has. Every enemy turn that base will launch 3 missiles aimed to Kamikaze at you. Although they're not really at all dangerous, they do get pretty annoying. Your mission objective is to destroy all enemies, including those 3 missile silos. 2) Don't cast "luck" or "bless" when destroying those missiles. They will only yield 20 moolah. The missile silos, like the missiles that they launch, have 10000 HP. They have pretty brittle defense and will succumb easily to any of your attacks. Once a missile silo is destroyed, obviously it will stop launching missiles, and hence less the trouble. In case you're running out of EN, you may stand on the Mikene base itself... it regenerates around 10% of HP/EN per turn, but for the skill point, you prolly don't need it. 3) Ikima, Amaso and Mimashi all share the same strategies to kill. You can do either of the following: a) have some one like Amuro cast "direct hit" and damage the boss while bypassing their support units, then kill them all with a hot-blooded Fireblaster from Mazinkaiser or any ALL-type attack, or b) destroy their supporting units first by executing ALL-type attacks first then proceed to crush the bosses single-handedly. Either way you'll do fine because they are not threatening or dangerous. You can finish them off on your 6th turn or so without breaking a sweat. SCENARIO 56 STRATEGY: Destroy all enemies before destroying Yami No Teioh. STRATEGIES: 1) During the intermission, arrange your squads strategically so that your main powerhouses do not have grunt units in their squads. If they do have weak units, make sure they are good in dodging. Now's a good time to fully upgrade Daitarn-3's weapons as well as Great Mazinger's. Equip good armor on Daitarn-3, Great Mazinger and Venus-A (if Venus-A is in the same squad as Great Mazinger's). Make sure that you deploy Four and the Puru Twins in this scenario, again for their "inspire" spell. Now check your support units and install SP/EN-regenerating items on them. Daiku Maryu will auto sortie so pick your 2nd mothership and all of your squads. Weigh your choice of mothership carefully: you could either choose Bright's Ra-Kailum for his missiles, or Bella's Mother Vanguard for her Totsugeki and her useful spells "inspire" and "love". Now deploy and move in for the kill! Oh yeah, if one of your motherships blow up, it's game over. Pay attention to that. 2) There is no time limit so don't be in a rush to kill all of your enemies. Frankly, the only threats in this scenario are Koros in her Nibelgen tank, JuliCeasar and Hardias. There's abosultely no need to show strategies on the soldiers and Mikene Beasts, but one piece of advice: CONSERVE YOUR SPELLS AND CAST THEM ONLY IF NECESSARY. This won't be a problem if all of your pilots have SP Recover (in my case they do), but assuming that you don't, use your spells sparingly. You're in for a long battle. So let's start on Koros. Make sure that you don't decrease her Nibelgen tank's HP to LESS THAN HALF. If her HP is getting less than half, IGNORE HER and go for the others. The only thing you need to be careful about her is her tank's ALL-type attack. It's very strong and can kill unsuspected squad members if you're not careful. Attack her head-on and she's less dangerous. Oh and one tip: she'll usually target your mothership, usually Daiku Maryu if it's in range. So this is your chance to bait her and put a healer beside Daiku Maryu to constantly heal it once its HP is significantly small. While you're at it, have Daitarn-3 to attack Koros repeatedly using the Daitarn Javellin AND DO IT WHILE IN CLOSE RANGE. The reason is Banjou's leadership ability is +40% damage to all Meganoids, and Koros counts as one. 3) Hardias is a threat in terms of defensive measures. He has BUNSHIN which he will use in the most UNEXPECTED TIMES. Unlike your previous battle, this guy is a lot more annoying and will continue to curse you like there's no tomorrow. He will rarely throw his Scythe (his AI seems to be a bit choosy). You can either try the reset method if he does bunshin, or you could cast 15 or 20 SP to cast "lock on" to be ensured it will hit him. The choice is yours. You'll kill him eventually. JuliCeasar in the other hand is strong in the offensive especially when he starts to throw his head around like a fiery boomerang. He also has a lot of HP so you will need lots of patience and constant avoiding of his head (LOL). His hit rate is a bit "improved" over the other Mikene Generals, and his head attack will usually give 20% hit rate to Haman, Judo or Kamiyu if their dodging power is more than 300 and their units' mobility is still high. It's advised that you activate support defense just in case they won't dodge. I did an experiment and that head attack is REALLY STRONG and can kill a Mobile Suit in one blow. It's a breather, thankfully that it ain't an ALL-type attack. Like Hardias, you will eventually kill him. As for Birdara is by far the easiest and the most useless of the Mikene Generals, and you don't need strategy to cook this goose. The same goes for Marshall Hell in his Demonica. Like the previous Yamadanoorochi Trio in the last scenario, YOU NEED TO KILL ALL OF THESE BOSSES' SUPPORT UNITS BEFORE YOU COULD KILL THEM ALONE. Oh, and cast "bless" and "luck" too... their support units yield lotsa cash. 4) By now, the only one left standing is Koros in her Nibelgen tank. Bring all of your units close to her AND DON'T ATTACK HER YET, WAIT UNTIL ALL UNITS ARE CLOSE AND HEALED. Once you do, proceed to decrease her HP to less than half. An even will trigger and finally, the big boss of the Meganoids, the mime Don Zaucer shall appear. He has a whopping 170000 HP and won't be too friendly with you either for he will constantly shock you with his thunder (which is an ALL-type attack, so be careful). Right now, ignore him and proceed with Koros. Now here's the thing: IF KOROS IS ABOUT TO DIE WHEN YOU ATTACK, MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE AT LEAST ONE SQUAD WHOSE MEMBERS HAVE THE "FLASH" SPELL, AND MAKE SURE THAT SQUAD HAS NOT FINISHED ITS TURN. This is why: once you kill her, Don Zaucer will cast "love" (and you thought these Martians don't have feelings). Now, using your unmoved squad, have them all cast "flash" and attack Don Zaucer, so that when he attacks, he'll waste his spell. End your turn, and proceed to defend as he attacks. Don Zaucer, again like the other previous bosses, are most dangerous when attacked head-on. Therefore, like any other boss, make sure that all your characters attack him head on, the closer the better. Although you WILL run out of space, make sure that the ones who attack him from afar are your Mobile Suits or real robots that can dodge PRETTY DAMN WELL. You will need patience in beating this guy, and cast your spells sparingly. Don't even think of using the drain EN tactic on him... he has lots of EN to spare and won't think twice to save them. Another thing is that Don Zaucer would usually target Banjou in his Daitarn-3, so the bait tactic works best in here. Eventually you will beat him after constant defending. With all enemies gone, Yami No Teioh along with the strategist Argos appear in the map with more Mikene Beasts. And you thought the worst is over... 5) The skill point can be obtained only if you kill Argos and the Mikene Beasts before defeating Yami No Teioh. You really don't need strategies for them... just have Heero aim for them using the Wing 0 Custom's MAP version of the Double Beam Rifle and they're toast... don't forget to cast "spirit" and "luck" though. I managed to snag 140000 moolah and 80 PPs for Heero. Argos is in a Demonica and he's very very easy, so no need to worry here. 6) Yami No Teioh is HARD if you don't have SP recover in all of your pilots. First off, he has TONS of HP, namely 200000 HP, has BUNSHIN and has NO BLIND SPOT WHEN ATTACKING (meaning all his attacks can be executed at close range). He also has lots of EN, has LARGE EN REGENERATION AND SMALL HP REGENERATION! Well, I managed to beat him in only two turns, but you have to make sure that your allies are all close to him. Don't worry he has no MAP attack, and will use his Dark Hellfire usually on the unit with the least HP. So like Don Zaucer, the bait tactic works well against this guy. He's the main reason all along on why you're told to cast spells sparingly, even against Don Zaucer if your pilots don't have SP regen. His small HP regeneration is a big bother, and with his 200000 HP, he regenerates a big 20000 HP per turn, which is almost equal as a hot-blooded super robot final waza attack! If your allies are close to him, CHEESE HIM WITH ALL OF YOUR SPELLS IF NECESSARY. If you followed my advice earlier and you installed SP and EN regnerating items on your support units, then use them up now. You won't be able to defeat him in one turn alone, and usually, you will need to defend whenever he attacks because his Hellfire is strong enough to take down an entire squad if they have no barriers and if you're not that careful. However, unlike Hardias, this guy RARELY uses Bunshin, which is a big breather, but then again he will use it THE LEAST YOU EXPECT IT, so be prepared to make some rare resetting. Tetsuya in his Great Mazinger is the best fighter against Yami No Teioh... his leadership ability is +40% damage to any Mikene enemy, and Yami No Teioh counts as one. If you use a hot-blooded Great Booster you can eat up 18000 or so damage or more. So to make the best ouf of this battle, DETERMINE WHICH SQUAD THAT YAMI TO TEIOH CONSTANTLY ATTACKS. Once you see it, use that squad as bait (and do take care of their HP gauges). Then cheese him down to hell. You have all the time in the world to wittle him away. SCENARIO 57 (FINAL SCENARIO) SKILL POINT: N/A STRATEGIES: 1) Expand your squads to 18. You would have had lots of money by then, so upgrade the weapons of your most powerful super robots, and focus your attention on Daitarn-3, Shin Getta-1 and Mazinkaiser. Equip SP and EN regeneration items on your support units. Deploy your 18 squads for the final battle. All 4 motherships will deploy so there's no need to make choices. You're up against Ilui in GunEden with her 3 pets, and a horde of dopplegangers of her pets. As you start the scenario, you are given 2 choices. PICK THE FIRST ONE TO SAVE HER. Your mission objective is to have Arad convince Ilui and destroy GunEden. 2) The AI animals come in groups of 3, not squads of 3. You need to build up your morale BADLY. By now most of your super robots have the Kiryoku Damage ability that gives them morale if they are damaged, so if the enemies attack these super robots, then defend, don't counterattack. For the others just have them damaged and healed all over again to build their morale. Once they are all in acceptable morale of 140 or so, go offensive and attack them. The AI dopplegangers have weak HP and armor can be taken down easily so no need to worry about that. You will eventually kill them all and you will meet the REAL animals (and they will close in at you). 3) Even though they have EN regeneration, you can kill them in one turn. Amongst the 3, the fish has the most HP, so destroy that first. The tactic to use against these 3 is the "drain their EN" tactic. That fish's dive attack is an ALL-type and can be shot in a certain radius, so attack it at a close distance to drain its EN, then wittle on its HP away once it has not enough EN to fire even its ray. Destroy it as fast as you can. The same tactic can be done on the phoenix. The phoenix is easier to kill because its ray has a range of 3~11 or 3~10, so it has a blind spot. Killing it head on is a MUST. As for the cougar, attack it at a distance first to drain its EN, then attack head-on to kill it. Remember that they have TONS of HP, and won't hold back. If you want to kill them fast, you will need to cast lots of spells. I strongly advise to cast them sparingly for GunEden. By now she would have started sniping you with her Gospels and her "Follow The Sun" attack, and it's very fatal with 4000 power. 4) If you defeated the Dokuga Generals in the previous scenario, then they will join in this scenario in Beaundore's ship (all 3 pilots in one ship). Also, for some reason, Jonathan, Quincy and Shiela appear in their own respective Grunchers to aid you in the fight against GunEden. Not that they are useful or anything... but you need all the help you can get. As for Jonathan's squad... he's a potential bait for GunEden, so keep him beside a mothership to take advantage of its leadership skill (increases dodge and hit rate if unit is within range). If you played your cards right in the previous scenario, Richter and Hinell appear as well to help you. 5) GunEden is absoultely easy. If you chose the 1st option earlier to save Ilui, then have Arad convince her first. An event happens, then bring the rest of your party members in and convince her. It doesn't matter who the squad leader is.. just bring anyone in to convince her. Convince her 5 times using different party members an event takes place and you are forced to destroy GunEden. This is the painful part... GunEden has an EYE-POPPING 500000 HP (half a million). Patience and perseverance will make you win. What makes GunEden easy is the fact that you can use the bait tactic AND the "drain EN" tactic against her. Use a really good dodger as bait for her to attack. This final boss, AGAIN LIKE OTHER BOSSES are more dangerous if attacked from a distance, so again, attack her head on. Her ultimate attack is "Follow The Sun", AND YOU JUST GOTTA SEE IT. You rarely get to see cute, naked chicks as pilots with an even sexy cut-in to boot! "Follow The Sun" is an ALL-type attack and is very fatal to non-super robots if they get hit. The point is to cheese her with all your spells and make her counterattack using it. Once her HP is drained, you don't need to worry much because the remaining attacks are not ALL-type, but nevertheless you need to dodge them or tank them... it's your thing. Once you end your turn, GunEden will regenerate its EN by 30% (she has BIG EN REGENERATION) and will attack the unit with the lowest HP (aka your bait). Just dodge it. If your bait doesn't dodge and dies, just restart and reload, and hope that your bait does the next time. If you're running out of EN and SP, then use your SP/EN recovery items. GunEden has tons of HP so it will take time to deplete it, but there is nothing to worry, just rinse and repeat and you'll eventually kill her. CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE JUST BEAT THE GAME!
