Wrecking Ball: Generator Management 101
Labels:
Bare Bone Facts,
FACT,
SRWCF
Chapter four puts alot of pressure on getting Anderson up to scratch both levelwise and equipment wise, even more so if you're after the battle mastery. If you've been doing everything you can up to the end of chapter three you should have two frames to pick from. The Aer and the Molior.
Going into the level with the Aer will mean SP management and ammunition management, all easily balanced out by ammunition crates and a high quality ration in the cockpit.
The Molior however will require on picking the right kind of engine for the Zero to carry into battle and loading up on Attack Boosters. But just what is the best item to slam into that engine slot?
Proton Exchange Cell
The Proton Exchange Cell is completly outperformed by an Integral Fast Generator so I won't even bother with this.
Protonic Reactor
The Protonic Reactor provides 50 energy and a passive 7% regeneration rate. Equipped on the Molior this tops out the Zero at 110 energy in total.
That's 11 shots of Wrecking Ball with a regeneration rate of 7.7 with the engine rounding it down to 7 per turn. With a thirteen turn limit factoring out our staring turn we can potentially regenerate 84 energy in total so that's another 8 swings of Wrecking Ball.
With a Protonic Reactor we can swing Wrecking Ball a grand total of 19 times.
Integral Fast Generator
The Integral Fast Generator provides 80 energy and a passive 5% regeneration rate. Equipped on the Molior this tops out the Zero at 140 energy total.
That's 14 shots of Wrecking Ball with a regeneration rate of 7 exactly. With a thirteen turn limit factoring out our starting turn we can potentially regenerate 84 energy in total so that's another 8 swings of Wrecking Ball.
With an Intergral Fast Generator we can swing Wrecking Ball a grand total of 22 times.
AM2 Battery
The AM2 Battery is a real wild card. It provides 30 energy but it can be replaced three times at the cost of using up Anderon's entire action phase. Equipped on the Molior this tops out the Zero at 90 energy total.
That's 9 shots of Wrecking Ball but we can expend all three charges of the battery for 30 energy per charge giving us another 90 potential energy. That's 9 more swings of Wrecking Ball.
With an AM2 Battery we can swing Wrecking Ball a grand total of 18 times.
What Have We Learned?
For chapter 4 if you plan on going in with the Molior then you squeeze the most out of Wrecking Ball with an Intergral Fast Generator. The AM2 Battery might be really useful on the ZakuI considering it's low starting energy. The more involved and fixed recharging outpacing that of even the Protonic's passive percentile.

Relationships and You 101

Q. "Hey! Hey S.E.R.I.K.A! What are relationships and what are their mechanical benefits?"
A. We've reached a point now where if you've been doing sub missions there's a good chance several of your female pilots will have developed feelings for someone else in your team.
Relationships are similiar or pretty much exactly the same as the original SRW passive friendship and lover bonuses except you need to work for them though that work needn't be difficult, sometimes they'll call upon personal sacrifice.
Relationships will provide a bonus to the characters they involve and are never negatives but are oneway buffs. Character A might think highly of Character B and gain the benefits of relationship but Character B might be indifferent to Character A and receive no benefits. In this example Character B is Character A's focus.
Mechanicswise characters benefit when they're within 2 squares of their relationship focus. A basic rank one relationship will earn that character a tempoary +5 morale for the duration they remain in range. This tempoary morale can exceed a character's limit.
A rank two relationship increases from +5 morale to +8 morale so there might be a morale curve to the ranks. We won't know until much later.
As we all know morale factors into pretty much every single equation performed in this game, from evasion values, accuracy percentage, damage mitigation and maximum damage calculation. Relationships boost EVERYTHING so it's a good idea to keep an eye out for them anywhere you can.
Q. "But S.E.R.I.K.A, how do I tell who's recieving what from a relationship?"
A. I just noticed the relationship's one-wayness during simulator tests and so haven't factored that in so let me just clear that up now.
Where I mention a relationship boost with a character and no one else is mentioned assume it's a one way boost with Anderson as the focus.
Where I mention a relationship boost with two character names and describe it as shared the characters become each other's focus.
Where I mention a relationship boost with two character names and say nothing more on the matter assume that the first character is benifitting and the second character is the focus.
Q. "Why not just use the term 'focus' in all relationship related posts from now on?"
A. Good idea voices inside my vast neural cybernetic cerebrum. It'll make things much more clearer. I'll update the other posts when I get around to scanning for horribly murdered english.
Q. "Any other gnarly benefits from relationships?"
A. The game will call upon a relationship check in certain situations. Sit back and keep an eye out. I'll mention it where I can.
Q. "Last question. What kind of 'relationships' are these? Love? Tell me it's love."
A. I hope so. As that would mean Emma's winning Anderson's affections easily whilst Jean and Natalie could be potential experimenting lesbians. Though they're probably more admiration based and burning hot flames of eternal friendship.
...nobody loves S.E.R.I.K.A
