Game Flow
① Mission Selection
Select a mission.
② Unit Formation
Register units to participate in the mission and change equipped weapons.
You can also check mission information.
Unit Types
•
Basic Unit: These are units required to start a mission. Units of the type marked with a basic unit mark must have at least one registered.
•
Other Units: These are units that can be registered optionally.
Cost
•
Cost: This is the cost required for registration, set for each unit. It is not necessary for basic unit registration, but it is required when registering other units.
•
Total Cost: This is the maximum cost that can be used for that mission. If the total cost exceeds this value, formation cannot be performed.
Unit and Weapon Levels
Units and weapons each have a level set, and units cannot equip weapons of a higher level than their own. Unit levels increase by accumulating experience points, but weapon levels do not change.
Formation Options
•
Unit Details: This shows the detailed status of the unit currently selected by the cursor. (For details on status, please refer to P6)
•
Automatic Formation: If you try to start a mission without registering any units, units will be automatically formed.
③ Mission
Clear various victory conditions set for each mission.
For the mission flow, please refer to P9.
④ Mission Clear
Mission results are evaluated with a rank from S (highest) to D (lowest).
New units and weapons can be obtained depending on the clear status.
•
Clear Turns: The fewer turns it takes to clear the mission, the higher the evaluation.
•
Total Kills: The more enemy units destroyed during the mission, the higher the evaluation.
•
Total Capture/Destruction: The more bases captured or destroyed during the mission, the higher the evaluation.
•
Formation Bonus: The less cost used during unit formation, the higher the evaluation.
•
Clear Rank: The overall clear rank for that mission is determined based on the above four evaluations.
⑤ New Mission Added
When a mission is cleared, the next mission is added.
Cleared missions will have their clear rank displayed next to their title.
Basically, you will clear missions according to the scenario, but you can also re-challenge missions you have already cleared.
If you clear the same mission multiple times, the highest clear rank will be recorded.
