=================================Introduction=================================

Ah, Compact 3, a game that stands out from other SRWs for its unique cast.

There is a reason not much else is famous about it: The gameplay is pretty
bland, the plot is barebones, and there is literally no replay value.

I mean it, there is no New Game+ at all. There is a serious lack of polish
in this title, from Escaflowne having a Seishin that does absolutely nothing
to a NPC Betterman Lamia exceeding its own limit stat.

But that is not going to stop the completionist/curious SRW fan from giving
it a go, so might as well try to enjoy it.

This is a simple walkthrough for SRWC3, it is an eight year old game that has
not aged well, released for an obscure console in what is already a niche
fanbase over this side of the globe. Lets face it, if you're reading this
guide then you already are familiar to SRW titles, so I won't bother with
the basics, nor will I give detailed explanations of the game system.

SRW titles for the portable consoles are not difficult to play by any stretch
and this is no exception, the game saw the release of a story translation a
few years ago and the Akurasu SRW Wiki holds plenty of information to help the
fanboy understand what the hell these abilities do.

What this document IS is a scenario guide so that unsuspecting players don't
get stumped on its unique mission objectives and don't miss out on secrets.

There aren't even that many of those, probably explaining why nobody wrote
such a guide. Until now.

I recommend the srw wiki (http://akurasu.net/wiki/Super_Robot_Wars/Compact_3)
for all your menu translation needs, and nitake92's storyguide if you want to
check out what this crossover fanfic is all about.


==================================The Basics==================================

This game alternates between linear stage progression and the system that is
traditional to the Compact series where you select which stage you want to
go next. For the sake of simplicity, I will number selectable stages in the
order they appear listed as, though you don't have to follow this order.

I will be detailing each stage in the following fashion:

Overview:
This details which Units you have available to you, how many
waves of enemies you will have to face and from where, important given the
game rewards low turn counts with bonus PP, in addition to any special
objectives you should keep in mind if you want to avoid a game over screen.

Remarkable Enemies:
How many Bosses or special enemies you have to take into
consideration for the spending of your SP, either because you want to nuke
them with a Hot Blooded attack ASAP or because they give good Cash and XP.

Upgrades:
How your roster is permanently boosted by any new Units, Pilots or
Upgrades to said Units or Pilots, if any. To distinguish between the two in
case you are not overly familiar with their source material, the Pilots will
be in parentheses after the name of the Mecha they come with, if any.

Tips:
This section contains useful tidbits of information, such as recommended
bosses to use Luck/Bless on, secrets you can unlock during the stage, and of
course general gameplay advice to maximize the effectiveness of your turns.

This game does not have many route splits or secrets, in fact it only has two:

Before Stage 2 you may choose to head to the Photon Power Labs or to the
Science Fortress. This choice will affect Stages 2, 3, 10 and 11.
If you head to the Photon Power Labs you will obtain Shin Getter Robo and
Tekkouki later in the game, where as if you go to the Science Fortress you
will obtain Getter Robo G right now but no Shin Getter or Tekkouki, and
instead you may choose to recruit Kochouki.

After Stage 4 you may choose to head to follow Van or Niil, this choice will
affect Stages 4, 5, 6 and 7. Following Niil will earn you the Night Camouflage
Billbine and following Van the regular Billbine. As far as I know they have no
difference in stats, so you don't lose out on anything.

In addition to these route dependent secrets you may recruit Naria and Eriya
during Stage 21.


==================================Walkthrough================================

+--------+
 Stage 01
+--------+

Overview:
Really simple, just the Argama crew and Folka (arriving on turn 3) vs two
waves of Shura each with a single boss, the enemy reinforcements will spawn
northeast of Folka's starting point.
Remarkable Enemies:
Alion, Fernando.
Upgrades:
Ialdabaoth (Folka), Argama (Bright), Z Gundam (Kamille), ZZ Gundam (Judau),
Hyaku Shiki (Quattro), Super Gundam (Emma), Methuss (Fa), (Roux), (Liina).
Tips:
Just make sure to cast Focus before engaging either of the bosses and
you'll be good. If Folka is running out of HP, remember that Fa has Trust.

+--------------------------------+
 Stage 02 (Photon Power Lab Route)
+--------------------------------+

Overview:
It is the Mazinger Z trio set up against a bunch of Mechanical Beasts, with
the Argama coming to the rescue on turn 4 from the north.
Remarkable Enemies:
Ghoul.
Upgrades:
Mazinger Z (Kouji), Aphrodai A (Sayaka), Boss Borot (Boss)
Tips:
Kouji can more than handle the enemies that come at him, so just send the
reinforcements to the west or east to mop up.

+--------------------------------+
 Stage 02 (Science Fortress Route)
+--------------------------------+

Overview:
Tetsuya and Jun are on their own for 3 turns, with the enemy sending a few
more mooks when you're reinforced by the Argama
Remarkable Enemies:
Demonica.
Upgrades:
Great Mazinger (Tetsuya), Diana A (Jun)
Tips:
The Demonica is worth 24000 if you're lucky enough to get it with doubled
funds. Ha Ha! See what I did there?

+--------------------------------+
 Stage 03 (Photon Power Lab Route)
+--------------------------------+

Overview:
Combattler will fight alone for all of 2 turns until the Argama shows up from
the east. After felling Oreanna, Garuda and six Magma Beasts will sandwich
your dudes.
Remarkable Enemies:
Oreanna, Garuda.
Upgrades:
Combattler (Hyoma, Juuzo, Daisaku, Chizuru, Kosuke)
Tips:
Cast Iron Wall if you're going to have Combattler tank the grunts instead of
raising its morale with Yell. Oreanna is worth more money than our tragic
general Garuda (24000 to 18000 with Bless)

+--------------------------------+
 Stage 03 (Science Fortress Route)
+--------------------------------+

Overview:
The Getter Team will be reinforced from the west after the enemy summons a few
extra mooks northeast.
Remarkable Enemies:
Mecha Kochouki (Kochouki).
Upgrades:
Getter Robo G (Ryouma, Hayato, Benkei), Mecha Kochouki (Kochouki).
Tips:
You can recruit Kochou Oni by reducing her HP below 30% and having Ryouma use
Convince on her. She is the only reason worth going into this route so don't
skip out on her.

+--------+
 Stage 04
+--------+

Overview:
On turn 2 enemy phase Jerid will show up with enemy reinforcements southwest,
complemented by Yazan and his own batch from the east. Van and the Earth
Dragon will have their duel at the northeast the next player phase.
Remarkable Enemies:
Jerid, Yazan, Earth Dragon.
Upgrades:
None.
Tips:
The Titans can blow up some of your Units if you're not careful, so make sure
you split your forces evenly and send one repair unit for each team.
Van may need one or more Trusts, so try to save your SP for him, defeating
the Dragon will end the stage, so make sure you use Bless (and Great Effort)
before Van butchers it, also do try nab Yazan's Minovsky Craft before ending
the stage. The Dragon's Blessed 8000 behind will have to do, as there are no
better targets around.

+--------------------------+
 Stage 05 (Follow Van Route)
+--------------------------+

Overview:
The first set of Units will retreat on turn 3, and you don't get your own
Units until turn 4.
Remarkable Enemies:
Absolutely none.
Upgrades:
Escaflowne (Van)
Tips:
The goblin tribe bosses have a cartridge and a biosensor but I don't think it
is possible to kill them before they leave. The NPCs will be content to focus
on each other so you'll have to rush downwards if you want to end this stage
before turn 7, note that the Stealth Manteau ability give the Alseides a
Bunshin/Afterimage effect at a whooping 50% rate.

+----------------------------+
 Stage 05 (Follow Niil Route)
+----------------------------+

Overview:
On round 3 Acrobunch and the enemies will retreat from the battlefield so make
full use of them in that period of time. Your Units will be the Argama, the
non-Shou Dunbine folks and 9 other Units of your choice.
Remarkable Enemies:
Tokamak, Shou, Todd, Galaria.
Upgrades:
Dana O' Shee (Marvel), Fuou (Keen), Zelana (Niil)
Tips:
Nothing's worth more than 3000 in this stage, but there are plenty of juicy
targets for your leveling needs. None of them are particularly difficult and
you should be able to kill them easily with proper SP use.

+---------------------------+
 Stage 06 (Follow Van Route)
+---------------------------+

Overview:
During turn 2 EP reinforcements will come from your starting position, where
Allen was, and around the middle point between you and the initial set of
enemies. Dilandau will be leading these reinforcements from the southwest.
Remarkable Enemies:
Dilandau.
Upgrades:
Sherezzade (Allen)
Tips:
You're going to have to spread your pilots with Lock On if you don't enjoy
missing a lot and taking ages just to kill one or two mooks... at least they
don't have barriers.

+----------------------------+
 Stage 06 (Follow Niil Route)
+----------------------------+

Overview:
You start with the Argama + 12 Units + Shou in the Dunbine. A set of Doros and
a Doramuro will serve as enemy reinforcements, this is a simple one without
any real surprises.
Remarkable Enemies:
Todd, Burn, Galaria.
Upgrades:
Dunbine (Shou)
Tips:
Like before, the damn Dunbine enemies aren't worth crap. Shou can wipe most of
the map on his own with proper SP usage and if you feel like it with some
support from Keen in the Fuou the extra ammo will let him clean house.

+---------------------------+
 Stage 07 (Follow Van Route)
+---------------------------+

Overview:
On turn 4 EP Yazan will ambush you from the south, with Jerid from the west.
Remarkable Enemies:
Dilandau, Jerid, Yazan.
Upgrades:
None.
Tips:
Don't feel in a rush to catch the Sub, although Jerid shows up just in time to
shield the Zaibach Sub turning southwards, it will go east after that and you
have to destroy all enemies anyway so take it easy and slow making your way
southwest. Jerid has a V-UP (W), so be careful about his attacks

+----------------------------+
 Stage 07 (Follow Niil Route)
+----------------------------+

Overview:
You get the usual + 12 Units of your choice. Jerid and Yazan will try to
sandwich you again during turn 2 enemy phase.
Remarkable Enemies:
Todd, Burn, Galaria, Jerid, Yazan.
Upgrades:
None.
Tips:
You better get used to the Doramuros becoming more common. This stage has a
bunch of bosses but they're all manageable, just don't let them get their
morale too high. Jerid has a V-UP (U), making him less of a threat but more of
an annoyance than his alternate route version.

+---------------------------+
 Stage 08 (Follow Van Route)
+---------------------------+

Overview:
Dilandau and his flying Alseides squad will arrive from the south during the
second enemy turn.
Remarkable Enemies:
Todd, Burn, Dilandau.
Upgrades:
Dunbine (Shou), Dana O' Shee (Marvel), Fuou (Keen), Zelana (Niil)
Tips:
Todd and Burn shouldn't cause trouble as long as you don't let them get too
much morale, and the fact that they will focus on Shou should make that
easier. This is your first battle against a moderate amount of Aura Battlers
though, and they only get stronger from here, so get used to their Barriers.

+----------------------------+
 Stage 08 (Follow Niil Route)
+----------------------------+

Overview:
You have the Argama + 12 Units, plus Van and Allen who pop up from the south
during your third turn. Dilandau and his goons will come to harass you from
the other side during that same enemy phase.
Remarkable Enemies:
Todd, Burn.
Upgrades:
Escaflowne (Van), Sherezzade (Allen)
Tips:
Simpler and easier than the previous stages, you should be able to clear it in
5 turns. Note Dilandau is the only target barely worth using Bless on.

+--------+
 Stage 09
+--------+

Overview:
The Argama and the cursory 12 Units will reinforce you in turn 2, followed by
the Titans and Alko south of your starting position. But that is not all!
Magnus and a final wave of Shuras will attack from the north next up.
Remarkable Enemies:
Burn, Galaria, Jerid, Yazan, Alko, Magnus.
Upgrades:
None.
Tips:
Jerid has a darn annoying Beam Coating active, and Magnus has the largest
amount of HP for a boss yet. He also yields over 20k so make sure you cast
Bless/Luck. The large amount of enemies means you'll reach high morale
without using SP, so play conservative until it is time to start pummeling
the various bosses. They all have good hit rates and can pack quite a punch,
make sure you have your repairmen on standby, and keep them close to the
tougher Units that can support defend. The stage will end the moment Galaria
is shot down, so plan accordingly.

+--------+
 Stage 10
+--------+

Overview:
Mechander Robo will be on his own until the Argama + 12 Units come to the
rescue on turn 2 from the northwest. This predictably leads to two batches
of foes showing up during the enemy phase trying to sandwich your dudes as
usual, led by Fernando and Alion. Mechander's godawful Omega Missile will show
up during enemy phase 5 from the southwest so be careful about that.
Remarkable Enemies:
Fernando, Alion, Omega Missile.
Upgrades:
Mechander MAX (Jimmy, Ryuusuke, Kojiro).
Tips:
You'll get a game over if Mechander Robo buys the farm at any point during the
stage, not only that but the drat Omega Missile has a post movement MAPW with
a range of 1-6 around itself that hits for about 4k damage and NEVER misses,
make sure you bait it with a tanky unit such as the Zelana or a Mazinger so it
won't blow up in the middle of your reals. Keep Gundams away from it as it has
a preference for them, too. I think additional missiles will show up if you
take too long in this as well as other stages with them(5 more turns?) so
don't get too comfortable. All in all, the damn thing sucks to deal with.

+--------------------------------+
 Stage 11 (Photon Power Lab Route)
+--------------------------------+

Overview:
You have Tetsuya and Jun for 2 turns, after which you acquire the Argama and
12 Units as usual. Medusa will lead a pack of reinforcements from the east
during the very next EP. An Omega missile will show up from the southwest
in turn 5 EP.
Remarkable Enemies:
Demonica, Medusa, Omega Missile.
Upgrades:
Great Mazinger (Tetsuya), Diana A (Jun)
Tips:
Don't rush your reinforcements to the aid of Tetsuya and Jun, instead get them
the hell out of there before the Omega Missile ruins your wallet by killing
your Units AND stealing your own kills. That Demonica is squishier than you
would think!

+--------------------------------+
 Stage 11 (Science Fortress Route)
+--------------------------------+

Overview:
It starts basically like Stage 02 of the other route, but with the initial
enemies coming from the west and your reinforcements appearing on Turn 4.
During Turn 5 EP Medusa and assorted goons will attack from the southeast,
while the Omega missile will launch from the southwestern corner.
Remarkable Enemies:
Ghoul, Medusa, Omega Missile.
Upgrades:
Mazinger Z (Kouji), Aphrodai A (Sayaka), Boss Borot (Boss)
Tips:
The Omega Missile starts in prime position to wreck your Units and the
initial enemies so don't throw your dudes in the direction of the Ghoul as
soon as they appear. Lure the enemies upwards and send some bait for the
Missile westwards. If you want to, you can use the OM to soften them up.

+--------------------------------+
 Stage 12 (Photon Power Lab Route)
+--------------------------------+

Overview:
Tekkouki and Shin Getter have to hold out for 2 turns (with enemy
reinforcements coming in from the north on turn 2) after which you get to
deploy from the northwest. Not too bad, right? Think again, Yazan and Rakan
will show up from the south in the next enemy phase. Add an Omega missile from
the west right where your troops will be if you're using Accel and you've got
the makings of a lovely stage.
Remarkable Enemies:
Yazan, Rakan, Omega Missile.
Upgrades:
Shin Getter Robo (Ryouma, Hayato, Benkei), Mecha Tekkouki (Tekkouki).
Tips:
You're going to want to have both Tekkouki and Getter to move upwards unless
you want them to be gangbanged somewhat fierce, but keeping in mind that
accursed Omega Missile. Rakan's Large Magazine won't do him much good in his
Dreissen, but it will be great for YOU. The Doven Wolf Units are worth 5000k
with bless if you want to make some cash.

+--------------------------------+
 Stage 12 (Science Fortress Route)
+--------------------------------+

Overview:
This time Combattler is playing defense to Oreanna's siege from the northwest
for 2 turns with the Argama and 12 other Units coming from the southeast.
Yazan and Rakan will ambush from right below the starting point of your Units
in turn 4 EP, followed by the Omega Missile in EP 5 southwest.
Once you take down Oreanna, Garuda pops from the north for a final battle.
Remarkable Enemies:
Oreanna, Garuda, Omega Missile.
Upgrades:
Combattler (Hyoma, Juuzo, Daisaku, Chizuru, Kosuke)
Tips:
The super electromagnetic labs are within range of the omega missile the
moment it spawns, but you can use that to your advantage by parking Combattler
there and luring the initial enemies to it. Oreanna and Garuda both give a
good chunk of money (Oreanna moreso) though it is worth of note that Garuda is
packing an I-Field, so be careful with relying on MSes against him.

+--------+
 Stage 13
+--------+

Overview:
The seven Endless Waltz Units must hold the fort until turn 3. Shura and more
Barton soldiers will pop up when your dudes do, you get to deploy the Argama
and 8 Units. Plus an Omega Missile from the west in two more turns.
Remarkable Enemies:
Omega Missile.
Upgrades:
Wing Zero Custom (Heero), Deathscythe Hell Custom (Duo), Heavyarms Custom
(Trowa), Sandrock Custom (Quatre), Altron Custom (Wufei), Tallgeese III
(Zechs), Taurus SK (Noin).
Tips:
Pretty unremarkable, the number of grunts isn't even that high. Just send a
tank eastwards so that you'll be able to intercept the Omega Missile.

+--------+
 Stage 14
+--------+

Overview:
Betterman Forte will appear as an uncontrollable ally to try and killsteal
Chika, once Chika goes boom more UMA will appear in two squads northwards,
with your forces (Argama + 8 Units) to the southeast. Galaria will arrive
from the northwest the turn after, and the mandatory Omega Missile will show
up the turn after from the usual direction.
Remarkable Enemies:
Chiika, Galaria, Omega Missile.
Upgrades:
None.
Tips:
Getting the kill on Chiika is not difficult. It is getting the kill on your
turn with Luck that will require a certain degree of guile. Do not even think
of sending the Kakuseijin to the defensive terrain due south, it is JUST in
range of that stupid Omega Missile's starting point.

+--------+
 Stage 15
+--------+

Overview:
Argama + 8 Units will have to hurry up to save the Rairan and the Kakuseijin
from a horrible demise. During turn 2 EP Behemoth will arrive from the
southwest, followed by Betterman Forte in PP 3. Amuro and Chen will come to
your (late!) aid on turn 4 PP from the east. The moment Behemoth bites the
dust, Yazan, Galaria and Rakan will attack from the northern pathways AND from
where the Behemoth was. As if that wasn't enough, guess who'll show up AGAIN
during turn 5 EP and from which direction? If you guessed Omega Missile from
the west... you're wrong; It comes from the south.
Remarkable Enemies:
Behemoth, Yazan, Rakan, Galaria, Omega Missile.
Upgrades:
Nu Gundam (Amuro), ReGZ (Chen)
Tips:
The early UMA are annoying to land a hit on, but you should save your SP for
the reinforcements. Split your party into three and send your best damage
dealers southwest as they'll have to outdamage Betterman Forte (unless you
want it to kill Behemoth for you) and THEN deal with Rakan and his 10k+ HP
Doven Wolf squad. The Omega Missile will go after whomever is closest,
happily running into a wall if the closest unit is behind one. So go ahead and
take the chance to shoot the bastard down for once, or just let it blow up
safely against an unit of your choice if you're the lazy type.

+--------+
 Stage 16
+--------+

Overview:
Shion and the Sirbine aren't in any kind of danger, you get the Argama + 12
Units from the west in your second turn. Send the Black Knight back home and
you'll have to deal with Alion and Meigis next.
Remarkable Enemies:
La Burn, Bilana, Garl, Alion, Meigis.
Upgrades:
Sirbine (Shion, Silky Mau)
Tips:
Most of the initial grunts will be lucky to survive more than one hit from
your team, but their hit and dodge rates can make it tedious. It is worthy of
note that the Sirbine has only range 1 attacks, but so does the Black Knight.
Alion has an I-Field to compensate for his low HP, and Meigis has powerful
attacks with decent range so be careful around her. Make sure to use either of
Luck or Bless on the Zwarth and Peirines as they're worth a ton of cash each.

+--------+
 Stage 17
+--------+

Overview:
You get the Sirbine plus the Argama and 12 other Units against the rest of the
La Burn forces. In a surprising twist, you have to deal with Alion and Meigis
after La Burn himself bites the dust.
Remarkable Enemies:
La Burn, Bilana, Alion, Meigis.
Upgrades:
Apotheosized Yaldabaoth (Folka)
Tips:
Actually easier than the previous stage, though La Burn the Black
Knight has a Psychoframe this time making him slightly more annoying.

+--------+
 Stage 18
+--------+

Overview:
And now for your regularly scheduled Argama + 12 Units vs Burn Burnings, who
will be reinforced in turn 2 EP by Fei and Myuji from the west.
Clean up the place and you'll get both Acrobunch and his enemies to spawn.
Remarkable Enemies:
Burn, Myuji, Fei, Ciela, Kuroishi.
Upgrades:
Botun, (Rimuru)
Tips:
Another boss rush! The aura battler named enemies will appear relatively close
so if you've got a bunch of Units yet unmoved you can take them down before
they get a turn. The money they're worth is not great, but the XP is.

+--------+
 Stage 19
+--------+

Overview:
The Argama + 12 Units are in a stand off with Allen (Dunbine's not
Escaflowne's!) and Jeryll, with an assortment of Doramuros. Todd will later
come in from the south of the castle, with the catgirl sisters from the north.
Remarkable Enemies:
Allen, Jeryll, Naria, Eriya, Todd.
Upgrades:
Billbine.
Tips:
This one is a bit of a toughie if you don't play defensively, the various
named enemies all have good hit and evade rates and hit hard, most of the
grunts have aura barriers also. Park yourself in the castle and let them
come to you, that way you will outlast them for sure.

+--------+
 Stage 20
+--------+

Overview:
You have Van, the Argama and 11 other Units to start with. Dilandau and a
handful of Saibach forces will show up from the northwest in turn 4 EP, with
Ciela following from the southwest with a much more sizable force afterwards.
Fortunately, Acrobunch will also appear right next to them, unfortunately it
does so only to get pummeled at while it flails aimlessly.
You'll lose control of Van temporarily until Dilandau is defeated.
Remarkable Enemies:
4 Flying Castles, Dilandau, Ciela.
Upgrades:
None.
Tips:
Oh boy, more Stealth Mantle enemies! Take note the Castles are worth a
whooping 15000 each.

+--------+
 Stage 21
+--------+

Overview:
The Argama, Acrobunch and 12 Units of your choice are up against a rather
large army, led by Ciela and Kuroishi. Folken's kittens will sandwich you
from the northeast and northwest in turn 4 EP.
Remarkable Enemies:
Ciela, Kuroishi, Naria, Eriya.
Upgrades:
Acrobunch (Tatsuya, Jun, Hiro, Ryou, Miki, Reika), Teiring (Naria), Teiring
(Eriya)
Tips:
You should be able to have dealt with the Acrobunch enemies by the time the
twins reach you, make sure you don't blow them up if you want to recruit them
and just reduce their HP. They're not exactly ace material, but they're not
worth a lot of money either, and while Naria only has an I-Field Eriya does
carry one of Hitomi's Pendant. They do have the Escaflowne Boss Theme though.

+--------+
 Stage 22
+--------+

Overview:
You get the Argama + 15 Units this time around. Predictably enough, enemy
reinforcements (Led by Dilandau and Jajuka) will fill the huge empty space
between you and the main enemy forces, in turn 2 EP. Magnus and the original
Black Knight will then attack from the southeast and southwest respectively
in turn 4 EP.
Remarkable Enemies:
4 Flying Castles, Dilandau, Jajuka, Magnus, Black Knight.
Upgrades:
None.
Tips:
I hope you've deployed someone with Disturbance. Your guys will get stormed
from all sides no matter what you do unless you turtle up and the terrain
isn't very good for that. Burn's Zwarth has a Haro, so shoot down that jerk
ASAP before he raises his morale.

+--------+
 Stage 23
+--------+

Overview:
The Argama and 15 Units have to destroy 3 Omega Missile launchers in 5 turns
and the rest will pull back to make way for Fernando, Alion and the
Kuragellar, which now you have to shoot down in 5 more turns.
Remarkable Enemies:
3 Omega Missile Launchers, Fernando, Alion, Kuragellar.
Upgrades:
None.
Tips:
The Omega Missile Launchers don't have MAPWs thankfully, but they do hit
pretty hard... when they do hit something that is. They only have 5 shots each
and a range of 1-5 so they're not that bad. Make sure to down them with Luck
for their full 20000 value. Once they're done... well, at least your Units are
halfway there. Make sure whomever you send southwest doesn't absolutely suck
attacking targets underwater as unlike the OMLs the Shura mooks don't fly.

+--------+
 Stage 24
+--------+

Overview:
Betterman Lamia will show up to steal kills on turn 3 as usual, with your
dudes on tow by turn 4, followed by enemy reinforcements all around.
EP 5 will see a bunch of aura battlers appear around your starting location,
followed by the King Behemoth from the north and the allied Betterman Lume
near your location.
Remarkable Enemies:
3 Icarus, Myuji, Shott, King Behemoth.
Upgrades:
Rairan (Yanagi, Kaede) & Kakuseijin (Hinota, Keita), Sakura
Tips:
The Icarus are worth 14000 with Luck so don't just blow them up, even if they
look like moooks, Shott is the grand prize though.

+--------+
 Stage 25
+--------+

Overview:
The Argama + 14 Units + Goraon + Mechander Max are up against the Drake army,
with Medusa as reinforcements from the southeast. Jeryl will go Hyper after
being shot down once, shoot her down again to be rid of her.
Remarkable Enemies:
Drake, Jeryl, Allen, Medusa, Hyper Jeryl.
Upgrades:
None.
Tips:
You get your first aura battleship, the Goraon, which is basically the Argama
but without the major sucking. The only enemy worth mentioning is Hyper Jeryl
and she goes down pretty easily to a pair of hot blooded attacks.

+--------+
 Stage 26
+--------+

Overview:
The Argama + 15 Units will reinforce the Guran Galan from its starting point
in turn 2. Beat up some grunts and Fernando will arrive with a bunch of goons
from the west.
Remarkable Enemies:
Black Knight, Todd, Bishott, Fernando.
Upgrades:
Guran Galan (Sheila, Kawase, Ell, Bell)
Tips:
The Guran Galan can clean up house damn well on its own, but there's no harm
in having your dudes make the task a little faster.

+--------+
 Stage 27
+--------+

Overview:
Battleship + 15 Units as usual. Everyone's favorite KSer Lamia pops up on turn
3 from the southeast. Down enough enemies and Altis will visit with an
entourage of Shuras from the southwest.
Remarkable Enemies:
Mammon, Altis.
Upgrades:
(Mika).
Tips:
They -do- have quite a bit of HP, but these bosses are chumps by now.

+--------+
 Stage 28
+--------+

Overview:
A Battleship of your choice and another 15 Units, no reinforcements from
either side. Except Fernando and Meigis that show up on turn 2 to... steal
your kills. Thanks guys.
Remarkable Enemies:
Misaru
Upgrades:
None.
Tips:
Even if it looks like Fernando and Meigis will join after you get rid of
Misaru's jerk face, they will die in an event right after because Alkaid is a
prick.

+--------+
 Stage 29
+--------+

Overview:
This time you only get 12 Units plus the battleship, and Lamia as an ally.
Beat up Mammon once more and you'll have to fight Kankel, with Lamia
receiving an upgrade while at it.
Remarkable Enemies:
Mammon, Kankel.
Upgrades:
None *shakes fist at Banpresto*
Tips:
The stage ends when Kankel is defeated, so if you don't want to deal with the
grunts anymore at this point... now you know. No, you don't get the titular
character from Betterman for your roster. Enjoy your Kakuseijin.

+--------+
 Stage 30
+--------+

Overview:
The last stand of the Conquerer army is a breeze at Battleship + 15 Units.
A handful of Cyborgs will appear on turn 2 EP, Ozmel and two escorts will
decide to try their luck once you blow up some more Units.
Remarkable Enemies:
Kuragellar, 2 Dragon Drillers, Ozmel.
Upgrades:
None.
Tips:
The lone Kuragellar is worth only 8000 and yet it is the most valuable enemy
in the entire stage before Ozmel and his Dragons show up, the Dragons are
worth more than Ozmel himself for some reason.

+--------+
 Stage 31
+--------+

Overview:
This one will take a while. You get your Battleship and 15 Units against,
initially, Bishott's army led by Todd, who goes Hyper after downed.
On turn 2 EP Shot and Myuji will attack from the southwest, followed soon
after by Drake and the Black Knight from your original starting point to
finish the job, both with their troops of course.
Remarkable Enemies:
Bishott, Todd, Hyper Todd, Shot, Myuji, Drake, Black Knight, Hyper Black
Knight.
Upgrades:
None.
Tips:
With high HP, Aura Barriers, Bunshin -and- 4k damage attacks the Hyper Aura
Battlers will beat unupgraded Units like a redheaded stepchild, so either send
them packing as soon as they rear their gigantic faces or make sure they only
have tanky Units in reach.

+--------+
 Stage 32
+--------+

Overview:
You get a Battleship and 14 Units to help Folka put an end to this.
Two squadrons of 6 Harpas will try to gangbang you from the east and west on
turn 2 EP. Blow up Alkaid's first form and he'll summon the Mecha of the other
five Shura generals to aid him.
Remarkable Enemies:
Shura King Alkaid, Grasha Labolas, Maledict, Valefor, Peirines, Andras,
Shura King Alkaid.
Upgrades:
None. What were you expecting?
Tips:
This mission takes place wherever you had your last fight, if you're confident
in your offensive burst power you can try to beeline for Alkaid and end the
stage without having to deal with the grunts. As a reward the game gives you
bonus PP even though there isn't a New Game+...
