Let's Play Valkyria Chronicles II PT52 - Just Shoot The Damn Blimp!
40Uuuuugh.
In this episode, it's time for the festival! Everyone's having some fun. Avan's getting food, Cosette's being naggy, Zeri's being Zeri, and Juliana...well, she's trying.
All fun eventually ceases when a blimp flies in and rams into Lanseal! It begins to spawn a number of V2s and Dirk, who begin to tear apart the academy relentlessly! Caught off-guard, the entire school must rally together and fight, because the Rebels are not waiting anymore!
August's Story Mission is quite possibly the hardest mission in the entirety of the main campaign. Your goal is to hold out for 8 turns as you(try to) fend off Dirk and his legion. There are numerous V2s sprawling everywhere and they'll all make a beeline for your two base camps. Meanwhile, Avan is solo against Dirk. Unless he's an absurdly good class like Fencer Elite, RUN. FAST. Even if the V2s don't have Supply Vehicles to help them(except where Dirk is), they are still extremely tough in numbers. They also appear as reinforcements from camps. Supply Vehicles WILL appear as reinforcements eventually.
Staying sharp does not even begin to come close to describe a safe strategy. If you do not have Fencers/Fencer Elites, don't even try to be aggressive. Not even Lavinia's a match against Dirk, as his regular beam cannon will wreck the tank. You're not totally helpless without one, but you'll be taking so much damage, it's not even worth it.
Your priority is to capture the camps ASAP and keep them captured, so the V2s stop pouring out. The camp to the right of Dirk's starting area houses a Supply Vehicle. Take that out and you can start wailing on Dirk with a Fencer. Once he goes, you can start picking off V2s one at a time. Gunners are handy for keeping the camps safe behind some cover. Once you have control of the camps, the map's difficulty spirals down.
Because my Fencers go down very early, I have a hard time keeping up with the map, so it devolves very quickly into terror. I shamefully finish with a D rank.
