Important Battlefield Events:

- Zakov flees the battle after his HP is reduced by half (112).

Strategy

It's clear who your main target is. Take down Zakov as soon as possible, but do NOT, under any circumstances, rush in to attack. Wait for the enemies to come to you, beginning with the first wave (Imperials 4-7), then the second (Imperials 1-3) and finally Zakov himself. Zakov likes to use Cutting Wheel an awful lot, so trash his shiny new Sharking as soon as you get the chance with Knockdown attribute attacks. Sadira should be made to gain one level, and you should increase her DEX by 3 to get the Turbulence attack. In fact, if you can gain 3 levels this battle and increase her DEX by 9, she will learn Spiral Dive! Once Zakov is dealt with, go after Imperials 1-3; they are higher leveled and are therefore more of a threat. Concentrate on getting Sadira's level up to par with the rest of your team, and as before, use Milea only for weakening ATACs, not killing them. None of the kills will give her a significant EXP boost.

Now that the mission is complete..

- You move on to Mission 51
