GSBD: A Place For The Soul (105 Dagger [Retrofit], No Respawn, S-Rank)
0The thirteenth mission for the Earth Alliance's '71' path and a fairly manageable one even with the large number of enemies in the second half.
The mission starts with just a few Astray's to cut down in three waves of four allowing you to build meter before the real battle starts.
when the main enemy force spawns in if you have a high burst damage ranged option that isn't your super ( the 105 Launcher pack's missiles are even enough.) you can burst down a couple of the Astray 'Ace' units to clean up the battle field quickly otherwise turn your attention to the Freedom and use hyper mode to get it out the way as it leaves after taking some damage before turning to the Justice and dealing with it carfully as it still can do a lot of damage to you, once both have left you can slow down a bit, let your allies hold aggro and take down the last Astray before taking it slow to let some of your meter fill up for the next part as you might need it.
Then the second part of the mission starts immediately collect the pod before getting away from the enemy as a lot of powerful foes are about to spawn in and if you are the closest enemy to them they will lock on to you otherwise they should fight each other giving you the chance to pick away at them from safety, taking out the GuAIZ and GINN that spawns closest to your allies will free them up to effectively take aggro for you adding another layer of safety, resist the urge to shoot the Duel which is likely the closest and look for opportunities to remove either the Freedom or Justice from the fight as both are very dangerous not just to you but your allies, using long ranged attacks to prevent enemies from switching the lock on to you, depending on how long you took with the Freedom and Justice the rest of the enemy might be down already if not then clean the remaining foes up then take out both enemy ships.
While the stats from the 105 Dagger aren't the best you could be using the versatility of the Striker Packs makes this mission quite easy even when playing terribly making the Strike Gundam (Retrofit) a decent option if you want a version with better stats.
