This guide assumes some previous knowledge of Valkyria Chronicles 1/2 and is meant to be an accompaniment to the excellent potential guide from Kururu, and the spreadsheet posted by Sylphier. As of this time, the guide will focus on the base game and will possibly receive future updates depending on DLCs/unlocks as revealed. Updated with Tank Option parts translations and effects. Added japanese characters to some sections for comparison. If there are any corrections, clarifications or suggestions please feel free to email me. As a final note, some sections might contain non-specific spoilers. =============================================================================== TABLE OF CONTENTS Sections .....................................

[MNU00] Aside from the mission map, you will do most of the maintenance on your squad via the Camp. a. Camp ...................................... [MNU01] As arranged: Tank Barracks Store Information Board Operation HQ Training Ground Functions: Tank - view and equip the Nameless' Tank Barracks - view Character Profiles, Encyclopedia, Newspaper, Tutorials and rename the Tank Store - Purchase new weapons and tank parts, as well as re-equip soldiers and tank Information Board - shows unit statistics and medals Operation HQ - return to mission map Training Ground - Improve unit attributes, change classes, change potentials, assign leaders, view master table =============================================================================== a. Training .................................. [MNU02] Unlike the previous VCs, the experience you gain does not translate directly into improving a certain class. In VC3, you spend these points to improve the entire squads statistics, as well as obtain new orders. Improve Attributes 耐久力向上訓練 - Increase unit HP 射撃訓練 - Increase unit Accuracy 瞬発力訓練 - Increase unit Evasion 対人戦闘訓練 - Increase unit Anti-Personnel Damage * 対甲戦闘訓練 - Increase unit Anti-armor Damage * 筋力向上訓練 - Increase unit Defense * 耐毒訓練 - Increase unit Debuff Resistance * *These 4 cycle in order from top to bottom. (eg. when you train 1 level of Anti-Personnel damage, the next one you train will be anti-armor damage) ** Every once in a while, new orders appear to be trained; these will occupy a spot between the first 3 training items and the last one. Change Class When Character is selected: 偵察兵 - Scout 突撃兵 - Shocktrooper 対戦車兵 - Lancer 支援兵 - Engineer 技甲兵 - Armored Tech 狙撃兵 - Sniper 機関銃兵 - Gunner 剣甲兵 - Fencer Change Potential You may change class potentials in this screen. Assign Leader In Chapter 11, you will be able to assign another leader who will provide an extra CP in missions. You will need to train this ability from the instructor first. Master Table This screen shows a representation of the potentials learned by the character and linkages between classes to unlock Hi-potentials. =============================================================================== b.

[CLS00] These are the different classes and their variants. To obtain a higher variant of a class, you must use the character to perform positive actions in missions such as killing enemies and capturing camps. All variants gain increased stats from its lower or base variants but in addition some variants are able to use equipment that its lower or base variants are unable to use even if you have acquired them. Listed below are the statistics of each class set and their usable equipment. Scout (偵察兵) AP: 450 Equipment: Rifle, Grenade (1) Veteran Scout (上級偵察兵) AP: 550 Equipment: Rifle, Grenade (1) Elite Scout (偵察猟兵) AP: 650 Equipment: Rifle, Rifle + Rifle Grenade, Grenade (1) Shocktrooper (突撃兵) AP: 300 Equipment: Submachinegun, Grenade (1) Veteran Shocktrooper (上級突撃兵) AP: 300 Equipment: Submachinegun, Grenade (1) Elite Shocktrooper (突撃猟兵) AP: 300 Equipment: Submachinegun, SMG + Flamethrower, Grenade (1) Lancer (対戦車兵) AP: 250 Equipment: Anti-tank Lance Veteran Lancer (上級対戦車兵) AP: 250 Equipment: Anti-tank Lance, Mortar Lance Elite Lancer (対戦車猟兵) AP: 250 Equipment: Anti-tank Lance, Mortar Lance Engineer (支援兵) AP: 450 Equipment: Pistol, Ragnite S, Spanner Veteran Engineer (上級支援兵) AP: 450 Equipment: Pistol, Ragnite M, Spanner Elite Engineer (支援猟兵) AP: 450 Equipment: Pistol, Ragnite X, Spanner, Trumpet Armored Tech (技甲兵) AP: 350 Equipment: Military Wrench, Grenade (1) Veteran Armored Tech (上級技甲兵) AP: 350 Equipment: Military Wrench, Grenade (1) Elite Armored Tech (技甲猟兵) AP: 350 Equipment: Military Wrench, Grenade (1) Sniper (狙撃兵) AP: 250 Equipment: Sniper Rifle Veteran Sniper (上級狙撃兵) AP: 250 Equipment: Sniper Rifle, Anti-tank Rifle Elite Sniper (狙撃猟兵) AP: 250 Equipment: Sniper Rifle, Anti-tank Rifle Gunner (機関銃兵) AP: 300 Equipment: Machinegun, Grenade (1) Veteran Gunner (上級機関銃兵) AP: 300 Equipment: Machinegun, Grenade (1) Elite Gunner (機関銃猟兵) AP: 300 Equipment: Machinegun, Grenade (1) Fencer (剣甲兵) AP: 250 Equipment: Sword Veteran Fencer (上級剣甲兵) AP: 300 Equipment: Sword Elite Fencer (剣甲猟兵) AP: 350 Equipment: Sword, Exploding Sword =============================================================================== Combat ....................................... [COM00] Some changes from previous VC games: All units use 1 CP, even tanks. Enemy Damage and Interception fire are greatly increased in damage Engineers can revive allied troops at base level and at range Downed units if touched by an allied unit can be used after that turn, while suppressed units are usable after the mission Ace Drops cannot be farmed; you will only receive one of each type of captured weapons. Aces can drop different items; story aces will only drop one of their two confirmed drops. You may repeat the free missions to get both drops of the ace in that mission. =============================================================================== a. Special Commands .......................... [COM01] some characters will be able to do special actions by using up SP points that are allocated to you at the start of the mission. Unlike CP, these are not replenished. They are activated by pressing triangle when selecting the appropriate unit and then selecting the ability. Selecting this command will refill HP and AP of the character, but will not reset the AP penalty. This choice has 1CP and 1SP cost. There are three distinct abilities that can be used: Direct Command (直接指揮) - Kurt This command allows Kurt to select upto 2 additional allies by going close to them and pressing O when the command appears on screen. They will follow Kurt to the best of their ability and will also participate in a team attack with him, even if it is a class that normally does not participate in team attacks (eg. Lancer, Sniper). This does not deplete the ally's AP; as such this command can be valuable in getting high-value units with low AP closer to their targets. Be aware, Ladders and Sandbags will generally prevent the units from following Kurt beyond those points. open Fire (武装解放) - Imca This command functions like a multi-lock attack, which does a fixed amount of damage to all targets within the field of vision of Imca. Generally the attack is enough to kill scouts and snipers and light APCs, but will only damage heavier armored vehicles and beefier classes. This attack is affected by obstacles such as walls, fences, allied units so care must be taken before activating it. If used properly, this can be a very powerful crowd control measure for certain situations. Valkyria (ヴァルキュリア) - Riela, Aliasse (unlockable) , Alicia (post game) This command makes the affected unit transform into a Valkyria, giving her invulnerability and a very powerful and accurate single shot attack. A very powerful tactical ability, but with some limitations. First, enemies can still dodge attacks, so if the heavy attack misses, you will have basically wasted the SP, especially if it was to capture a base. Secondly, valkyria cannot take cover positions after their turn, so potentially they will be exposed if they are not used again if enemies are close by. Third, in later missions, some enemies guarding bases will take more than 1 shot of a Valkyria Lance to take out, necessitating additional effort in utilizing the ability. =============================================================================== b.

[COM02] Here are the list of Orders, their effects and how they can be acquired: *AP - Anti-personnel *AA - Anti-Armor Order CP Effect 治癒要請 1 Restores the HP of an ally 救護班要請 2 Restores the HP of an all allies in an area 応急処置 3 Fully Restores the HP of an ally 全補給 4 Fully Restores the HP and ammo of all allies in an area 支援物資要請 2 Restores the ammo of an ally 精密狙撃 1 Increases the accuracy of an ally 局地精密狙撃 1 Increases the accuracy of all allies in an area 一斉精密狙撃 2 Increases the accuracy of all allies in all areas 全力回避 1 Increases the evasion of an ally 局地全力回避 2 Increases the evasion of all allies in an area 一斉全力回避 2 Increases the evasion of all allies in all areas 全力防御 1 Increases the defense of an ally 局地全力防御 2 Increases the defense of all allies in an area 一斉全力防御 3 Increases the defense of all allies in all areas 全力攻撃 1 Increases the AP damage of an ally 局地全力攻撃 2 Increases the AP damage of all allies in an area 一斉全力攻撃 3 Increases the AP damage of all allies in all areas 全力破壊 1 Increases the AA damage of an ally 局地全力破壊 2 Increases the AA damage of all allies in an area 一斉全力破壊 3 Increases the AA damage of all allies in all areas 全周囲防御 2 Increases the side and rear defense of an ally 自動弾薬補給 2 Reduce ammunition consumption of an ally 解毒処理 1 Remove negative status of an ally 防疫処理 1 Increase debuff resistance of an ally 警戒進軍 2 Reduce the damage taken by interception fire of an ally 回復リミット解除 1 Increases the HP healed by the ragnite of an ally 爆発リミット解除 1 Increases the grenade damage of an ally 状態異常攻撃強化 2 Increases an ally's chance of inflicting debuffs 貫通射撃 2 Makes an ally's attacks ignore defense 無効化攻撃 2 Prevents an ally's target from counterattacking 急所攻撃 2 Makes all attacks by an ally to be critical hits 局地敵情収集要請 1 Reveal all enemies in a selected area 衛生兵要請 2 Recover a downed ally 全域敵情収集要請 3 Reveal all enemies in all areas 激励 4 Increase morale 一斉全力退避 3 Recall all allies in the current area Order Learned 治癒要請 Initially given when orders are unlocked 救護班要請 Train 耐久力向上訓練 to Level 19 応急処置 Train 耐久力向上訓練 to Level 29 完全補給 Train 耐久力向上訓練 to Level 40 支援物資要請 Trained in Chapter 3 精密狙撃 Train 射撃訓練 to Level 4 局地精密狙撃 Train 射撃訓練 to Level 14 一斉精密狙撃 Train 射撃訓練 to Level 24 全力回避 Train 瞬発力訓練 to Level 7 局地全力回避 Train 瞬発力訓練 to Level 17 一斉全力回避 Train 瞬発力訓練 to Level 27 全力防御 Train 筋力向上訓練 to Level 5 局地全力防御 Train 筋力向上訓練 to Level 10 一斉全力防御 Train 筋力向上訓練 to Level 15 全力攻撃 Train 対人戦闘訓練 to Level 4 局地全力攻撃 Train 対人戦闘訓練 to Level 9 一斉全力攻撃 Train 対人戦闘訓練 to Level 14 全力破壊 Train 対甲戦闘訓練 to Level 6 局地全力破壊 Train 対甲戦闘訓練 to Level 11 一斉全力破壊 Train 対甲戦闘訓練 to Level 16 全周囲防御 Trained in Chapter 19 自動弾薬補給 Trained in Chapter 20 解毒処理 Train 耐毒訓練 to Level 3 防疫処理 Train 耐毒訓練 to Level 7 警戒進軍 Trained in Chapter 8 回復リミット解除 Trained in Chapter 5 爆発リミット解除 Trained in Chapter 17 状態異常攻撃強化 Trained in Chapter 10 貫通射撃 Trained in Chapter 9 無効化攻撃 Trained in Chapter 19 急所攻撃 Trained in Chapter 20 局地敵情収集要請 Trained in Chapter 6 衛生兵要請 Trained in Chapter 4 全域敵情収集要請 Trained in Chapter 16 激励 Trained in Chapter 13 一斉全力退避 Trained in Chapter 7 Enemy Specific Orders: Order CP Effect User 戦線復帰要請 3 Revives all downed allies fully Lydia (リディア) 強行進撃 3 Increase the AP of the given unit Zig (ジグ) =============================================================================== Others .......................................
