Or you can run up to the hill where the tank destroyer was and drop grenades down onto the infantry clustered below you. Or sneak around the back of the tank and slaughter all of the guards that way. Or you could do what Thexor did, and play on the Forest Skirmish map which doesn't have the boss.

_{_{Also, how the heck are you supposed to A rank missions in the game? I've never gotten more than a C so far. Do you have to blitz them extremely quickly?}}

It's all turn count, you could capture bases with minimal fighting and still 'A' rank it.

I see. That would have made things much easier for me. I basically took forever to destroy the medium tank out front, so three scouts essentially killed everything in the base with help from my engineer who snuck on to the bluff to grenade the cap point. When the Boss showed up, I just sighed, because every damn mission takes a billion years and there's always some crazy OP shit goin' on.

Yeah, I heard that the best way to A rank everything is just cheese it with scouts.

That is like a disapproving parent.

Me: "I killed all the enemy with no losses in an efficient manner!"

Valkaria Chronicles: "D"

Me: "Why won't you looooooooooove meeeeeeeeeee"

Valkyria is all about taking objectives. It's why almost none of the mission objectives include "eliminate foes".

NullForceOmega · « **Reply #4581 on:** June 17, 2015, 03:24:41 pm »

Not completely true, but the vast majority are just 'take this base' items.

USEC_OFFICER · « **Reply #4582 on:** June 17, 2015, 08:41:04 pm »

Ah, that explains many things then. _{_{I'm not going to start cheesing things with scouts though. Maybe next playthrough.}}

Yeah but I like the fights.

You also have to clear out enemies surrounding the base before you can capture it. Sometimes, you can do that by dashing a Shocktrooper past everyone else, gunning down the couple of guys near the flag, and capturing it in a single turn.

Of course, if that fails, you're now surrounded by enemies and about to be overwhelmed. And if you turn that last corner and find 7 guys on the point, RIP.

You can also just accept D ranks and take things slow, then play a few Skirmish maps if you're getting under-leveled, falling behind in R&D, or just frustrated with goddamn chapter 7.

(Skirmish maps also help you practice high-speed completions. I first realized how you're intended to get high ranks when I narrowly beat the second skirmish map in 3 turns and still only got a B!)

Elodie the 2nd held a tournament to liven up the kingdom and cheer things up after the recent civil war, in which she obliterated the enemy forces with magic. As she's rewarding the tournament winners in front of an audience, a challenger approaches!

Bwahahahahahahahahaha! Feels so good to incinerate the bastard that killed my first Elodie with balefire. Feel the power!

All of a sudden, a man approaches the winner's platform.

It's Kevan, the Earl of Io.

In one hand, he carries an armored gauntlet. In the other, a sword.

Kevan, Earl of Io: My family's blood is on your hands!

Elodie, Crown Princess: (Arisse, the ringleader of the rebellion... She was his mother.)

He casts the metal glove to the ground with a clatter and raises his sword, pointing it at you.

Kevan, Earl of Io: I challenge you, Elodie! A life for a life!
He's challenging you to a duel?

Doesn't he know you could burn him to a crisp just by waving your hand?

Menu: [Accept] [Refuse] [Kill him with magic]

Player chose: Kill him with magic

Without a further word, you direct the full force of your magical wrath at the Earl of Io.

There is a horrible scream, and the smell of burning flesh.

Elodie, Crown Princess: I decline.

Kevan's sword falls to the ground beside his gauntlet. He won't be needing either anymore.

Bwahahahahahahahahaha! Feels so good to incinerate the bastard that killed my first Elodie with balefire. Feel the power!

Long Live the Queen

What is this game and how do I obtain it.

SOLDIER First · « **Reply #4587 on:** June 17, 2015, 11:53:19 pm »

Long Live the Queen.
And I would say buy it. Or mug someone and have them gift it to you on Steam.
...it's on Steam, right?

Yep. On Steam. It was on sale at one point during the summer sale for something like $2.50 USD or something like that. Currently it's 50% off, $5 USD, which is still decent.

I got it during that summer sale, and gave up when I kept dying to arrows on the way to that thing. Never enough archery knowledge, man.
