1-3-Gameplay

1-1. This is the tutorial section of the faq. I cover the classes and how 
to play the game. Read this if you don't understand the gameplay ahead of
time and don't understand Japanese.

1-2. Scout:The scout is good for exploring the area, conquering flags, and
     defeating weaker enemies. However, due to brutal interception fire, 
     the scout is not reccomended for combat. Scouts also have 1 grenade. 
     Eventually aquires a grenade launcher.

     Shocktrooper: Lower AP than a scout, the shocktrooper is more tuned 
     towards combat and can survive more than 1 round of interception fire 
     with their higher defense. Eventually aquires a flamethrower 
     although a good gun is better than any flamethrower attachment.

     Gunner: With more damage and bullets, the gunner shoots from left to 
     right but other than that, similair to the shocktrooper in stats but 
     does not get a flamethrower due to their similair style in firing. 

     Lancer: This unit is more adept to taking down tanks, turrets, towers, 
     etc. They can take a bit more interception than a scout like 
     shocktroopers but are not good for anti-personelle. They can eventually 
     equip a mortar but unless you are in some desperate need for it, it is 
     rather useless.

     Sniper: With lower stats, the sniper is super accurate and does heavy 
     damage to personelle. Reccomended to clear a path for a scout or even 
     a shocktrooper, the sniper can be very handy at times.

     Engineer: Even with a rather high amount of AP, engineers fall quickly
     and are no good in combat. They are best used for restocking anf 
     healing other units. Engineers even have the ability to revive units.

     Armored Tech: These units have a great defense and can block shots for 
     other units with their shield. While their attack is rather weak they 
     deactivate land mines and repair bunkers WHICH WILL BE HANDY!!!
                  
     Fencer: Similair to Armored Tech with their shield. Fencers have 
     greater attack power but weaker defense. They don't have any side 
     abilities like the tech but are good for clearing a base in one 
     nice swing.

     Tank: Your tank is fully customizable and can shoot machine gun shots, 
     mortars, anti-tank rounds, flames, and other handy things. They have 
     a wide range of abilities which will be covered in strategies.

     APC:  Used to carry units better than a tank. The APC has more AP but 
     a lower defense stats which means protection is key for this unit. 
     APCs are equiped with a weak machine gun.

1-3. The gameplay of Valkyria Chronicles 3 is an original idea. You take 
turns between you and the enemy. You use CP to select units. When a unit 
is selected they can move in a 3D world until their AP bar runs out. Enemies 
can fire at you. Pressing square freezes everything allowing you to aim. It 
is stat based but headshots count. Capturing bases is key. You can retreat a 
unit for 1CP but if they are in a camp, 0CP.There are multiple areas. 5 
units can be in one area and 9 in the whole map. The objectives for each 
mission vary. New to the franchise is SP that allow specific units to use 
special abilities.

     Kurt Irving: Kurt is allowed to bring along two units but I believe 
     this can be upgraded to 3, I THINK, please contact me to help me out 
     for this one.

     Riella Marciellis: Riella can become an invincible valkyria and use 
     her lance to take down units.

     Imca: Imca is allowed to use her lance to shoot everything on screen. 
     EVERYTHING!

2: Tips

2-1: Typical Base Defense

A good base defense is typically setting up a tank, armored tech, 2 
shocktroopers or gunners if needed replace one with a lancer and a scout.
This is a basic defense strategy and is very affective.

2-2: Hidden Units

In many missions you will have to defeat every enemy. Some will be hidden 
in grass but don't worry a simple order or scouting group can solve this
problem.

2-3: Tanks

Tanks are vicious in Valkyria Chronicles 3. In the begining you can take 
them out with two shots to the side but it soon becomes mandatory for rear
shots. If it becomes two much there are 2 simple solutions. Have a 
tank/engineer group and take out tanks with your tank restocking its
ammunition with the engineer or use an order to boost a lancer.

4: Guide

4-1: Chapter 1

Mission 1: This mission is easy. There are about 3-4 scouts. What you need
to do is send a scout to each side using 1CP per kill. Easy S.

Mission 2: This one is a bit trickier. I reccomend taking out the first few
enemies with a shocktrooper and sneaking in to capture the base with a 
scout. In the next area take out frontal troops with a shocktrooper and
than use a scout to sweep in and take the base. If you want to be 
precautious, use a shocktrooper but this can only get you an A.

Mission 3: This is the final Chapter 1 mission. You will need to eliminate
all enemies to get a victory. Imca should take out the tank and Gusurg 
should use mortars to defeat troops in his area. Use Kurt and Riella to
capture the camp in their area. Defeat the enemies in Kurt's initial area
and swoop them into Gusurg's area to finish the job.

Chapter 1 END

4-2: Chapter 2

Mission 1: In this mission you must defeat the enemy boss tank. Use area 2
or 3 to get to area 1. I reccomend a scout/shocktrooper rush and using 
Gusurg to take out the tank.

Mission 2: A SIDE: (Additional missions are in extras.)To win this mission 
you will need to destroy the enemies' supplybox. I reccomend clearing a 
path in the tank area and using that camp to get to the box. From there, 
clear a path for an armored tach unit and smash that box with a good swing.

Mission 3: In this mission, victory is acheived by defeating the enemy boss
scout. I reccomend using area 2 and 3 simultaneously. Have a shocktrooper
and lancer in area 3 and a standard team in area 2 which is mentioned in 
tips. For 2 turns make progression to the movement camps in areas 2 and 3.
By turn 3 you should have captured both camps. (Take another turn if you
need to.) Warp your tank over and move him to the scout attacking him with
mortars and if need be missles. This should lead your squad to victory.

Mission 4: To win the 4th mission in Chapter 2 you must capture the enemy
base camp. If you want you can use Imca and take out the easy to kill tank 
for a bonus scene but capturing the base camp in area 3 is not reccomended.
I prefer taking the camp in area 2. Scout/lancer rush to the first camp in
area 2 and than use a shocktrooper and lancer, maybe sneak in a scout for
a faster movement to get yourself to area 4. Use Gusurg to take out any 
armored units and capture the camp with a scout. Mission complete.

Chapter 2 END

4-3: Chapter 3

Mission 1: To complete this mission you must kill every enemy in all the
areas. Here are some tips. Take out tanks with your tanks or a stealthy 
lancer due to the ridiculous interception fire. Constantly use scouts to
find hidden units unless you have an order to track enemies. Use a scout/
shocktrooper combination to capture bases. Use these tips to win missions
similar to this.

Mission 2: To complete this mission you must destroy the enemy box in area 
5. Use basic tactics like charging through with tanks and shocktroopers and
using an armored tech to destroy the bos to finish this mission with a nice
S rank.

Mission 3: (A Side) This mission can be tough and for bad reasons. It is
another kill every enemy mission but unfortunately there is alot of grass
and thus spanning 4 areas. This can take an unexperienced player 12 turns 
to complete. Make sure to set up scout/shocktrooper/lancer groups in every
area and to use your tank a bit to chug through this mission with at least 
a B.

Mission 4: This one is can be tough. Luckily you have Squad 7 and there 
super powerful tank the Edelweiss. This mission is accomplished by 
capturing all the camps with yellow circles. I reccomend sweeping in with 
squad 7 and capturing all of the camps in their area than sweeping in with
the Nameless while simultaneously slipping troops and advancing in the 3rd
area. Once you reach area 5 you'll meet Dahau the only truly powerful force
in your way, well that and about 2 tanks. I reccomend either sniping or 
bringing in the Edelweiss to defeat Dahau than use your tank to eliminate
enemy tanks. Boost a scout's stats with an order or two and send him off.
If you want to be safe use a shocktrooper.

Chapter 3 END

4-4: Chapter 4

Mission 1: This is a convoy mission. Basically you need to get the APC to
the yellow circle in one piece. You cannot retreat the APC so clearing 
units especially with AT abilities is mandatory. Here are a few tips for 
the mission. The sniper class is your friend. Taking out personelle is 
simple with a good sniper and using a shocktrooper as well. Use a lancer
in both areas and you should be set. Don't move an APC if a shocktrooper 
can attack its rear or else you are done.

Mission 2: This is a special mission. First of all you get Zeri but 
secondly this is a double-sided mission. First you must capture the two
major camps but after that you will need to go to area 2 and fight off the
boss tank. Getting to the boss tank is simple enough just use basic tactics
however to take out the tank, use Gusurg, one shot to the radiator and it's
done.

Mission 3: This mission can be a bit challenging. It's another convoy 
mission but you start up seperated from the APC. No doubt you first turn
is going to be clearing out area 1. Your APC will take some tank shots
so getting an engineer to the APC and capturing the area 2 movement camp
are necessary. Make sure you have an engineer in area 2 from the get-go
and there is a tank so you'll need a stealthy lancer. The next area is 
simple enough but the final area is a challenge. You will need to get
around to the lower left enemy camp. Take it and use a sniper to attack
the gatling knight from behind. Once he's gone it's safe to use the APC
to climb the mountain.

Chapter 4 END

4-5: CHapter 5

Mission 1: To complete this mission capture both enemy camps with a yellow
circle on them. There is nothing to it, use basic defense, offense, and
tank strategies to acheive victory. Scouts will be very helpful in this
mission.

Mission 2: (B Route) To acheive victory you must destroy 2 enemy boxes.
Use your usual lancer strategies and capture camps with scouts. You have
Cosette but she is not of much use. Shocktroopers are helpful here and
avoid the lights unless you want a mortar. Remember to press a switch in
one area, it is a grey looking box with buttons. This opens the gate in
the final area. Zig is here but you can rush your way to the 2 boxes with
a defense order for interception fire.

Mission 3: This can be tough. Use your tank, keeping the radiator safe 
from fire. Use interception fire to kill both gatling knights and the ace
fencer. Use Kurt's special ability to capture the first camp and the 
second. By the 2nd turn you should be able to capture the 3rd camp, if
need be, kill a gatling knight again. Hard but rewarding S rank.

CHapter 5 END

4-6: Chapter 6

Mission 1: (Area 1 or 4) To win this mission you must capture the enemy base
camp in either area 1 or 4. I don't know how this affects the game but I 
reccomend going to area 4. It is slightly easier since you have to deal
with less gatling knights. Use a sniper and capture the base camp with a
shocktrooper or scout depending on how risky you are.

Mission 2: Another capture the enemy base camp mission but a bit easier.
Capture the transportation camp in area 4 to make area 5's transportation
camp an easier capture. Make sure to also hit the switch in area 4. Once in
area 3 just use a shocktrooper and sneak to the base camp. If there are any
tanks a defense boost should help. 

Mission 3: This is a kill all enemies mission. The ace has a sweet scout 
rifle. This mission is very difficult since gunners will mow down your
troops. I reccomend using Imca's open fire to the max. In other areas snipe
and use camps to get lancers behind tanks. For the last area, (Which is the 
one you must use the mine to get to. save 1SP for Kurt's Direct Command. 
Bring along a sniper and finish off all the enemies in this area.

Chapter 6 END

4-7: Chapter 7

Mission 1: This is pretty straight forward. Just kill all the enemies. You
will have Juliana to help clear out snipers and such but that is all she is
good for. Remember to check all of the grass patches for hidden enemies and
you should be good.

Mission 2: Once again another kill all enemies mission. The gatling towers
shouldn't be too hard to get around. Otherwise you have Leon Hardins just
use the Mission 1 tactics.

Mission 3: This mission is hard to S rank on your first run through. I
reccomend just killing Dahau and picking off soldiers to increase your
defense so you can come back to this mission another time with better
stats. If you feel daring you can take on the S rank, tactically nothing
is out of the ordinary but the shear number of units and Dahau can be 
overwhelming.

6: Demo

6-1. Mission 1- I reccomend for your 2 empty spots to select Annika and 
Serge. When the mission begins, SP select Imca and aim at the 2 gatlings 
on the vehicle. Get to a bunker and reselect Imca twice to take down both 
gatlings. SP select Riella and use friendly fire to take down the scout and 
lancer, use your lance to shoot the tank's ragnite box. After that, SP 
select Kurt and bring along Annika, kill the shocktrooper to your right and 
head towards the next scout. Select Annika and shoot the scout with Kurt, 
hopefully killing it and than you should be at the mission complete screen 
with an S rank and only having done it in 1 turn.
     
     Mission 2A- (Capture the enemy base camp.) In the tank section you can
put anything you want. All you need is in the other area is to put Kurt, 2
other shocktroopers, and Alfons. When the mission begins SP select Kurt
and bring along 2 other shocktroopers. Dodge the first enemy without dying.
Now, this mission randomly generates enemy placement so I will give a vague
description on how to capture the camp. On your first turn, use Alphonse at
least twice and make sure he doesn't have to face too many enemies. You can
use SP twice but leave 1SP for later. On the 2nd turn make sure most of the
enemies are gone. Get Alphonse to the base and capture it. In the 
corresponding area select Riella and head to the base camp. When she begins
to take fire end her movement. Than SP select her and get to the base camp.
Save your attack for the enemy at the base camp and with ease capture it,
earning your 2 turn S rank. 

     Mission 2B- (Defeat Dahau.) Look at my description for Mission 2A.
Basically do what I say to capture the camp where Kurt is. (Only use up to 
1CP.) When you do that select a lancer in the corresponding area and go
to the enemy camp to your right. Use land mines to cut AP usage and 
defeat the enemy capturing the camp he was protecting with the lancer.
Now in the corresponding area to this base, select Valkyria Riella and head
to Dahau. Strike him with your Valkyrian Lance. SP select again and finish
him off for good. You should earn your 2 turn S rank and a better ending
for the demo than Mission 2A.

     Warning: Make sure to save for extras in the main game. Mission 2B
has a better ending than Mission 2A if you were curious.
