GSBD: A Catalyst For Bloodshed ( GINN Assault, No Respawn, S Rank)
1The eighth mission in the Z.A.F.T '71' path and an easy one to clear but a slight pain to S-rank as you need to be able to find time to take out flying foes while grounded suits are attacking you though you only need to destroy all of one type of flying enemy for the S-rank ( Either all Spearheads or all Skygraspers.)
The First wave is pretty simple with Three Spearheads that will arrive at your position long before the ground escort will reach you giving you a chance to easily take them out, taking out the first wave of flying units will cause a second group to spawn just as the group of three Strike Daggers will reach you, try and take them out quickly as a second group of ground units consisting of a Long Dagger and two Strike Daggers will spawn in behind you about the time the flying units will be getting close, you might have to ignore the ground units using the terrain to block line of sight as best you can while quickly dealing with the Spearheads before turning your attention back to the ground suits though try and delay killing the last Strike Dagger a short while to slightly desynch the air and ground spawns which should give you the room to take out the Spear heads before the Long Dagger Fs and it's two Strike Dagger escorts cause you issues this will be the last of the Spearheads and if you have downed them all to this point you have a good chance at the S-rank.
the next wave of fliers will be two Skygraspers and a Skygrasper (Aile) though if you have desynched the enemy air and ground spawn you should be able to deal with them before the ground suits consisting of the Long Dagger FS and two Strike Daggers arrive though they might synch up with the next air wave depending on how dumb your ai partner decides it wants to be, the air wave consists of the two Skygraspers and the Skygrasper (Sword) making it a pretty harmless group however stright after them the Skygrasper (Launcher) will spawn in with it's escorts and it can shoot the whole length of the battlefield so be aware of that. the next ground group is Two Long Daggers and a Long Dagger FS, it's not a too dangerous group though might be trouble if you got beaten up earlier in the mission this and the last group are why you want to desynch the air and group units so that you don't need to worry about being sniped while fighting them, the final group consists of a Long Dagger FS 'Jean' and three regular Long Dagger FS units the lack of cover and their long range can make approaching difficult so be cautious and use meter to take out their numbers as they are not overly durable.
