Mission 47: TIC TAC!

Mission Overview
Situation:

Araba Castle is under attack! It's up to Bastion's group and a few Kingdom units to hold off the enemy! Luckily, Bastion has a new ATAC to help him out... but the question is... is it any good?

Strategy
If you've been wondering how the TIC TAC fares in battle, now's your chance to give it a shot. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by its performance! Wait until you learn Tidal Wave with it! Ultragunner? What's that?

This is another "level-building" mission, where your main goal is to siphon as much EXP as you can off of the enemies, while keeping your CPU controlled allies away from the kills. The twist is that the Bodyguards are actually one of the biggest threats on the battlefield! Each of them is equipped with a Durandar and a Tiger's Eye, so they hit hard.

If you can take down Duyere, you have my respect. I've never done it.

Reaching Duyere and his bodyguards is kind of tough, though. They will stay stationary for a bit, so we're going to begin the battle by advancing on Zakov instead, running from the Kingdom soldiers (not out of fear, out of "we need the kills"). Imperials 1 - 4 will advance towards you. Have Andrew stabby one of them in the back when he's in range, and when the rest of your team reaches Andrew, Bastion may be lined up to hit an Imperial from the back with Ice Shards.. a surprisingly POWERFUL Ice Shards, that is! Don't you love the TIC TAC?

Around this time, Zakov will move in to attack. Ignore the Imperials for now, and concentrate on having everyone beat up on Zakov, as he's dangerous, but he's also good for EXP. Andrew should have Turbulence by now, so dizzy him from a distance. Let any character who is behind in levels score the kill, of course.

Afterwards, cut a swathe through the the Imperials, moving north a bit as you do. One or two of the Imperials might move in to attack the Kingdom guys, but leave them be. In a turn or so, Duyere will start moving in, but since you advanced to the north a bit, he'll waste a turn trying to reach you! That's your cue to whittle his HP down with Knockdown attacks (boosting his FP, too!), and then knock him off. It's very hard to score a kill on him, but give it a shot.

Afterwards, deal with the Bodyguards, as they hit quite hard. Take good care of Reyna, as there is a good chance she will get knocked out during this mission. If you have already reached the stats for Reyna's Trick, start boosting her DEF stat; she'll need it! Don't be afraid to keep trying this mission to maximize on the EXP that you earn; it's a good idea, actually!

Now that the mission is complete..

- You move on to Mission 48

Before beginning Mission 48, save, load stats from Options screen and then Interview. Check the Briefing for an overview of what's next, and when you're ready, head to Mission 48: Snowy Reunion. Another surprise awaits you!
