AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Yeah, I always start as Jack.
It's easier to adjust to Leo's speed than the other way around.

I apologize in advance for Leo's Stage 1, Main Mission 3.

The Durga Gargoyle fight?
Whoopee.

I'm sure the hardest has to be the one with 3 Cybrid Joes.

Am I the only one who likes Garuda? He's pretty much a miniaturized Zeta Gundam.

I wish I got to play as more characters in the story, so far I've only given Mathilda a proper try and I really like her. Jack's fine but he's so... basic.
Still gotta try out the Baron, I'll do that the next time I get to choose.

The best way to handle Durga and Garuda, at least for me:

Before the fight, get the following: Full Rampage, Rocket Launcher, and Traps. You could probably swap out the RL for a rifle. Fastest way to get this stuff is doing the Berserker mission and not use the weapons they give you.

When the fight starts, only catch and chuck the rockets. Once they start charging at you, DON'T engage them. Wait for more rockets.

When Sasha jumps in, switch to her. Pop your Rampage and spam either KWL string or air KWH on Durga. However you do it, make sure he drops before your Rampage wears off. If not, chuck a trap at his feet and finish him.

Whether or not Durga is down, use the RL on Garuda (and Durga, if he's alive). After that, it's a matter of being the better fighter.

This is all assuming that the AI will actually pulls its weight and won't screw you out of your victory.

And right after my previous post I got to fight motherfucking CTHULHU with Rin Rin

Spamming KW is a lot less effective than just hitting them.
I've found that it usualy deals less damage and sometimes misses if they keep rolling out of the way.

Then the one time out of three that I did it without a problem was just dumb luck, I guess. But really, kill Durga first or else.

Yeah of course.
Getting in close is hard enough without any sort of rush action, but Durga's KW is a pain in the booty and a half.

Garuda's an asshole, too. If he isn't blocking your partner's attacks, he's interrupting your air juggle and then Durga shoots you in the face and why am I out of retries

Also I wihs I was invisible like my team mates.
Because I'm the only one mutants ever go after.

Finish chapter with 5 plats and 1 gold
Get gold rank
:|

Of course, that gold dragged it down.

You know what's the worst part about this mission with 3 cybrid joes? The fact that the lock on system doesn't seem to know the concept of priorization so it randomly switches between trash mobs and joes even when said joe is A METER AWAY FROM ME READY TO KICK ME IN THE FACE BECAUSE THERE HAPPENS TO BE A TRASH MOB SOMEWHERE BEHIND IT

Sticky lockon system now, please
