F9 The Gun Salute UX
Objective(s): Defeat Morridow OR move Dandelion next to her.
Echelon Limit: 2
Recommended Echelon(s): AR/SMG, Dummy with parachute
See, the nice thing about Slow Shock maps is that there's actually a very fast solution to maps. Brute force. In this map you can actually parachute over to Morridow and fight her, pretty much instantly ending the map. This is, however, difficult. At least you're aware of it, but for this guide we'll be doing the slow method. Since it's easier. More brain intensive, but easier.
The big gimmick of this map is that all enemies on the map are mirrored in each layer. So that means if you kill an enemy on one layer, it dies in the other layer. Very cool. Our goal is to have Dandelion able to get across the map through approximately a small army of Paradeus. Not particularly conductive to her limited ammo/mres, so we gotta get creative. Oh, she can also fight in this map, which is pretty nice.
To start things off, we want to deploy our AR echelon on the bottom Heliport and a dummy on the middle Heliport. Move your AR echelon to the right, then swap with your dummy and move top right. This kills off an enemy in Dandelion's way. Now, parachute your dummy to the closed Heliport next to the tree on the bottom of the map. Move to it and disable it. Retreat your dummy then redeploy it where it started. Move your AR echelon to the bottom right to fight the Nyto there. Move back and swap with your dummy to resupply your AR echelon and swap back. Switch layers and move Dandelion right two nodes and then use her skill to zap the enemy to the bottom right. Increase the signal frequency, then engage that enemy. Move back a node then end turn.
Turn two. Move your AR echelon to the bottom right two nodes, then up right one node to engage one of the Nytos. After that, retreat them. Switch layers and move Dandelion to the bottom right, then up right, then use your ability to zap the Gladiator to the top right. Increase the signal frequency then engage the Gladiator. Zap the Commander above Dandelion twice, then engage it. Swap back to the other layer and move your dummy up right one. Redeploy your AR echelon and swap with your dummy. Move up right then end turn.
Turn three. Move to the tree with your AR echelon and deactivate it. End turn.
Turn four, move your AR echelon up right one node, then down one node, then bottom right one node. Swap over to the other layer and move Dandelion down one node, then bottom right one node. Zap the Grenadier to the bottom right and then engage it. Swap over to the other layer again and move your AR echelon to the last Nyto in our way. Kill it and end turn.
Turn five, move Dandelion to Morridow. Don't forget to zap the enemy guarding her before fighting it. Once you get Dandelion there, you'll clear the map.
