I think that depends on how good your rifles are. I got Catherine shortly after I upgraded my sniper rifles for increased accuracy and she's only missed 1 out of 8 shots since I've used her. I like Marina better since her Extra Shot potential tends to be useful.

Heh...for me, Catherine was the one who ended up with Extra Shot. I think Marina ended up with the nest one instead.Baha said:

Beat the game. The last mission
Really great and outstanding game, though. My only grip with VC is the rather weak story full of clichè and kitsch. Other than that it is was full of awesome and a very unique and satisfying experience. <3
was surprisingly easy and straightforward. Took me only 3 turns and was probably my best result next to the first mission. :lol

Beat chp11. with an A rank, and I wasn't even trying to go that quickly. Finishing with Largo 1-shotting the radiator on not one but two tanks was a nice climax.

After the cool cutscene in Mission 14 (major spoiler)
I am stuck in the damn mission. It is not like it is impossible, but it is annoying as hell when you wipe out all the troops and then enemy reinforcements arrive every turn.
What is your strategy people? I am stuck like a pigeon in tar.

I used Oscar (my only sniper) to kill all shocktroopers/scouts protecting the southern tank. Then it was easy for Largo to run around it and fire a couple of rounds in the radiator. A smoke grenade on Largo prevents him from being killed by the reinforcements the following turn. Next I spawn camped the enemy with the Edelweiss with an engineer behind it for repairs and sent the rest of my forces north. It wasn't easy but at least I got an A.

I'm at Chapter 10 right now.
This game is HORRIBLY addicting. I've got Elite Scouts, Shocktroopers, and Lancers right now, and my Snipers are Lv9 and my Engineers are Lv6. Leveling my troops up has been SOSOSO time-consuming (in a good way), much like the old days when I'd tell myself "Just one more..." in games like Pokemon, I'm finding myself saying the same thing when it comes to Episodes and Skirmishes.
Chapter 9 was a LOT easier than I thought. I'll just reiterate what I said earlier: Rosie is a fucking BEAST.

Lol, that is one insane strategy. As much as I love A rankings, I get a lot of satisfaction from clearing out every enemy and taking every base.

Pokémon Parentage Conspiracy Theorist
So I tried the Circuit City deal but they didn't have it, then I went to see about price-matching at Best Buy (do they do that?) but they didn't have it. Neither of them had Resistance 2, either, which was my backup plan. I went to a couple retail places and there remembered that I normally hate retail because they keep stuff behind doors which they have to unlock but they're too busy pandering to the woman with unnecessary questions and her little brat. I decided I'd rather just rent a movie on the way home and then order it off Amazon, which I did, and I also went ahead and picked 2-day shipping even though it balanced out the savings because I didn't want to wait forever. What does all this mean? Peace of mind and finding it at my doorstep is worth $15 and two days, I guess. Screw retail.

Man, I can't figure it out... mission 8 is kicking my ass...
stupid spotlights and mortars keep killing me. GOD DAMN YOU TY THE IMMORTAL!!!!
GOD DAMN YOU TY THE IMMORTAL!!!!I finished Chapter 10 and realized that outside of Chapter 7 and a couple of times near the beginning I have never used Lancers. I deploy Largo every mission for the extra CP, but he never does anything more taxing than hang out at the deployment zone showing off his scars and muscles to passers-by.
Lancers are slow, have trouble hitting tanks -- to say nothing of people -- at even medium range, and even if they can hit they still need a radiator shot to one-shot a tank. Come on, anymore even my Shock Troopers can destroy a tank with 2 CP, and they're still useful after the tank is dead.
On top of all that, (itty bitty mid-game equipment spoiler here)
So, Lancers. Anybody find them useful?

once mortar lances become available they finally gain an anti-personnel option worth mention, but have to give up their anti-tank power to use them.

When you first enter the clearing where Ty the Immortal is, there's a long stretch of grass to your right. Have Welkin enter first, and immediately start crawling through the grass. You can pick off the generic enemy by shooting from the grass without alerting Ty. Once you do that, crawl to the end of the grass and double back to get behind Ty. Chuck a grenade at him and he'll turn around, conveniently presenting his back to the clearing entrance, but won't counterattack. Get Welkin out of his line of sight and end his turn. Then take control of Alicia, enter the clearing with Ty's back toward you, walk right up behind him and enter aiming mode. He should have started turning toward Alicia as she got closer, so just stick your gun in his face and open fire. With the grenade damage four or five rounds should be enough to do him in.
The gun you get for killing him can make an upcoming mission laughably easy, by the way.

Very...i used Elesis Moore almost every mission. Double damage to tanks definitely helps in certain situations and the additional shot can be a lifesaver when trying to clear everything out of a given location. Usually use them in lieu of a grenade as well. They can also take quite a pounding so I use them as a human shield at times too if i can't get my troops out of harms way before their movement bar goes to 0

Thanks for the tip... I employed a slightly different strategy... hide and throw grenades until he is dead... worked!
rykomatsu said:
So do you just attack the front of the tank with the Lancers? I just think that relying both on an ability to activate and relying on the ensuing shot to hit is a bit of a tall order. And if you're close enough to guarantee a hit, you're close enough to go whole-hog with a rushdown and a radiator shot. And Shock Troopers can do those! Scouts can too if you use an Order to boost their attack power!
I begin to suspect that perhaps I am simply too blinded by my love of attacking glowing weak points to properly consider this matter.

Well efficacy is what separates a good plan from a bad plan, which would make your plan a good one indeed.

My lancers do pretty well from afar. I've only done a point blank radiator shot maybe 2~3 times. Ensuing shot procs quite a bit, and when I use a lancer, I usually use him/her for all expendable shots so there:s a pretty good chance that I'll get an additional shot during the 3 CP use.
rykomatsu said:
Seriously? I think there have been maybe one or two tanks so far that I haven't taken out with a point-blank radiator shot.
Perhaps I should give this crazy idea of not running headlong at multi-ton death machines a try.

The storyline is not amazing, but the storytelling is very unique. The presentation of the storyline is very compelling because it does not overdo it when it comes to cutscenes, in fact the game should have had more.
The characters are amazing on every level, the main cast in incredibly well developed. The 50+ characters you can recruit all have unique personality traits that are developed through the glossary, in-game dialogue, and the interaction with other characters. It is amazing that they can retain the unique sense of identity with such a massive cast.
Hcoregamer00 said:
Even if the storyline ends up being a classic struggle to defeat the large empire, it will still be the most compelling narrative in an RPG in years. I'm extremely surprised by how well done the dialog and character interaction are done. It's been a long time in an RPG since I've went out of my way to further character interaction.
Oh, and the opening preface was amazing.
I was pleasantly surprised by the demo. I really did not expect the game to be THIS good. I'm finishing up Chapter 4 now. The game hasn't left the high note it started on, and I hope it never does.
Oh, and I have to express my thanks that the leveling system is so streamlined. I was really afraid of having to micromanage everyone and hand out experience individually, or actually have to balance my used characters during battle. Their implementation is perfect.

I agree, the storyline is not unique, but the storytelling is amazing. Right now I am in chapter 14 and I can tell you that the amazing storytelling is consistent, and it even gets better. The magic of Valkyria is the Character Driven storytelling. It is about war, but it presents war on a very human level, something I have not seen in any game for quite a while. War games normally glorify violence and war, so it is quite a pleasant surprise seeing a game about war be so anti-war.
The character interactions are great, I am hoping the Namco rips if off and does it this way for the skits in the tales games. This does a FAR better job in creating a sense of immersion than seeing talking still portraits.

True, but the Persona anime was surprisingly good (I had zero expectations).
To be fair, Game to Anime transitions have been much much better lately. The Tales of the Abyss anime is excellent and does a great job handling the source material, my only complaint is that they did not have any music from the game's amazing soundtrack. When Valkyria becomes an anime, they will be in a similar situation because the anime could be great, but we will be missing the AMAZING Hitoshi Sakimoto soundtrack.

This isn't MGS4, it is a strategy RPG.
I was shocked that Mission 8 even did it as well as it did.
Avoid the shocktrooper and mortar fire and the mission is cake.
If it makes you feel better, a later mission does it FAR better.

Wow, you just shot up in the awesome list.
What you do it go on the right path. Move forward with Welkin and grenade the scout on from the back end, and then run until the flower. After that move Alicia twice down the same path, but don't go to welkin because going the entire distance means you will be hit by the mortar fire.
Don't worry, it took me 4 failures to realize that this is the only plan that doesn't lead to a "game over"
