Player CO: Anyone
Enemy CO(s): Hawke
Skills: none
Mode: 2.5x EXP

Overview: Send two T-Copters, one loaded with the HQ-capturing Infantry, to Hawke’s HQ to act as bait. The power score is gotten by a B-Copter and a Fighter and/or Submarine.

The Tank or Submarine build on Day 5 causes Hawke to build only 1 Missile, giving you a clean capture.

For full Power, you need to destroy 2 units. These vary for different COs.

For full Technique, you can only lose 1 unit, which is a sacrificial T-Copter. This will be harder for Grimm as his other T-Copter can be 2HKOed by Hawke’s Mech, so he needs to abuse luck to make sure the T-Copter takes as little damage as possible.

Note: I will use “weak”, “bland” and “strong” to refer to certain COs. These descriptors are base on their air units’ attack. For reference:
Weak: Colin, Drake, Grit, Jess, Sami
Bland: Everyone not listed in the other groups. Kanbei is not in this group.
Strong: Eagle, Grimm, Hawke, Max, Von Bolt
Kanbei’s instructions will be listed separately.

– Load the Infantry onto the T-Copter. Move the T-Copter 6E.
