This map took forever to fight, but it is largely the same as normal mode. The volcano does the same thing at the same intervals, with the only difference being that Hawke has bigger units initially and can get a deeper earlier claim. Jess is able to go blow for blow with him, only needing to step back after he uses his powers. Just try to prevent him from getting too deep early, then you can push him off the map. The end of the Green Earth campaign is near... ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWHpo21QTzQ

With the bulk of the Halloween event behind me, I can play some more ranked. After some disappointment with teammates, I figured I would just try different characters and see what happens, which is where Garchomp comes in. His attack speed and Dragon Rush were recently buffed, but I still prefer Dig over it. The trick is finding a way to stick to the opponent, which is why I am running Razor Claw, but even it has limits. As for the other two, Pikachu and Sylveon have been here countless times. I like Sylveon's flexibility, but with the buffed Volt Tackle, Pikachu has become more dangerous than some people may be expecting. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMTL-dbGEOQ

This is going to be one of the final demo videos I upload. Last time you saw the Light Bowgun, and I mentioned that I intend to use both, so here is the other. Unlike last time, now I know how the wirebugs work for ranged weapons and abuse the Counter to no end. So first things first, the Heavy Bowgun uses a charging mechanic and does not have the ability to rapid fire (in the demo), but can reload most ammo on the move. It has a shield built in, so you can passively block attacks provided you are not taking any other actions. The frame is collapsible, which should help reduce recoil, but adds some frames on drawing and sheathing it. In terms of ammo, I am finding myself among the camp that does not believe charging to be worthwhile. There will most likely be armor sets that make it good, but in the demo, it simply isn't worth the time. Sadly, you do not have enough resources to kill all 3 monster easily, so you would have to gather ammo regardless of whether you charge or not. The thing I learned this video was about Sticky Ammo being able to KO monsters. It gives you more reason to aim for the face now, and takes away some of the utility of the hammer. I believe with the Horn rework and this, you will see quite a bit fewer hammer uses than in the past. Ultimately, I hope there is some worth to using Slicing Ammo as that can remove tails, but it was extremely difficult to do in other games without some sort of gimmick at work. Depending on what the options are, it may very well be possible to main the guns without missing out on anything. Keep your fingers crossed. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SdLv3WDd_o

The time has come to drive the Black Hole out of Yellow Comet, and we are throwing two of the strongest COs in the game at them. Adder can charge his power very quickly, but with the amount of damage Kanbei and Grit can deal in a single turn, we can easily fill his power to max, and then the overflow simply ceases to exist. The difficulty here is that two of the bays on the factory are on water, meaning they will only generate sea and air units. These are pretty expensive units to make, so his power will fill more quickly by destroying them. With a land force, the only reliable way to deal with them is with indirect fire, however, they can move immediately upon spawn, making putting indirects close to them very dangerous. Your strategy here since Grit is on the field is to simply push the enemy back until the seam is in range, then blast it out. Trying to block the bays requires expensive units (especially for Kanbei), and you are more likely to have access to the seam than forcing your way over to the factory bays. With this, Yellow Comet has come to a close and we get to see what dire shape Green Earth is in. Things are about to get rougher, but luckily we will have everyone's favorite CO to use. Drake, right? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pExJqffQTg
