Sunrider 4.2a Hard Mode: Mission 12
9This is a run of Sunrider's Hard Mode in version 4.2a. I made this to give other players an idea of the strategies I used to win. All missions will be completed without using mid-battle saves, to ensure that the strategy is consistent enough to be replicated to some extent. Depending on what attacks hit or miss, you may not be able to follow my strategy exactly, so improvise as needed!
Again, apologies for the lag. Hopefully things will improve on the next version of the game.
Here it is, the bombastic "nuke the carriers on Turn 2" strat, which makes this mission a great time to buy that Quantum Rocket License. By taking out those ryder spawns you ensure you don't lose the battle of attrition; once you've gotten past Turn 3 you're pretty much in the clear. Just be sure to keep the Sunrider in the shielding of both support ryders; PACT gets hella angry if you nuke 2 carriers in 1 turn.
It really helps to have double the Flak sources of what you normally have. For the first time in the game, I feel that Flak versus Rockets is passably reliable, so I don't try dodge-tanking on purpose this time. (Besides, the enemy forces start a little too close for that) You can afford more damage here than in the previous mission since you don't need to travel across the screen for the first few turns, which makes it easier to maintain a defensive formation.
I actually bought 10 extra EN for the Phoenix just to slice up a PACT Bomber on the first turn and then duck back into the Flak cover formation. One less rocket to worry about while your Flak is diminished.
After they've used up their rockets and missiles it's not too hard to play the range game with the battleships. After using Aim Down, 7 spaces away is safe from Kinetics for the Sunrider, and 5 spaces is good for the Alliance Cruisers and the Paladin. Still watch out for their lasers, which can do potentially 300+ damage to an unshielded ally. Make good use of those support ryders!
With that, the run is complete. See you on the next beta!
