Chapter 40: Destruction 4
Welp, weve been putting this one off for a bit. Lets jump in.
![](2-003.jpg)
![](3-004.jpg)
Huh, the bonus objectives this time only allow us to have second- and third-generation Sentinels in play. Well have to make do.
![](4-005.jpg)
Well just load up with every available Sentinel, then. Natsunos on Brain Overload so she cant, and we might need everyone else we can get.
![](5-007.jpg)
Were first going to upgrade the Meta-System to Level 6, then get Chip Multiplier Level 2, increasing our Meta-Chip rewards by 20%.
![](6-008.jpg)
For Juro, were going to upgrade his Arm-Mounted Machine Cannons to +2, his Multi Rocket Launchers to +2, and his Sentry Gun to +3.
![](7-009.jpg)
Iori gets her Sentry Gun upgraded to +3.
![](8-010.jpg)
Miura gets his Main Battery Heavy Railgun upgraded to +2.
![](9-011.jpg)
Finally, Tomi gets her 6 Multi-Launching Rapid Cannons upgraded to +2 and her Long-Range Missiles upgraded to +1.
![](10-012.jpg)
Okay, were ready to head out. Many long-range kaiju will appear, eh? Well, we have a decent team for that.

![](24-022.jpg)
![](25-023.jpg)
We immediately start out by firing out three Sentry Guns from our 2nd-generation Sentinels, because why else are they here, right? For reasons well see shortly, were going to be absolutely carpeting this area with Sentry Guns.
![](26-025.jpg)
![](27-026.jpg)
Ryokos only got about half her EP at the start of this fight even after recharging from her last battle, so we need to Defend to get her some EP back.
![](28-027.jpg)
Once shes done there, we throw out a Guardian for good measure.
![](29-028.jpg)
![](30-029.jpg)
Eventually, four Hi-Quads spawn, which is fairly annoying given that we have no armor piercing on this team. The copious Sentry Gun spam and some railguns from Miura and Tomi will have to suffice to take them down.
![](31-030.jpg)
By the end, weve got seven Sentry Guns firing in all directions. Even with their armor, the Hi-Quads dont stand a chance against that level of laserspam.

In case you needed any more evidence that MVP determination is straight bullshit, look at Juros numbers versus Miuras.
![](46-044.jpg)
And a new skill for Tomi.
![](47-055.jpg)
That skill increases her stats when Iori or Megumi are in the strike team.
![](48-045.jpg)
![](49-046.jpg)
![](50-047.jpg)
![](51-048.jpg)
![](52-049.jpg)
Fuck yeah, Miwako time!
![](53-050.jpg)

![](54-051.jpg)
Lets do one more.
![](55-052.jpg)
Shields, eh?
![](56-054.jpg)
We buy Ei Forced Cooling Device to decrease his recovery time.
![](57-056.jpg)
We get Hijiyama Counter and EMP Attractor.
![](58-057.jpg)
We buy Meta-System Level 8.
![](59-058.jpg)
Then, we upgrade Shus Multi-Lock Missiles to +2 and his Arm-Mounted Pulse Lasers to +1.
![](60-059.jpg)
Finally, we increase Yukis Arm-Mounted Pulse Lasers to +1 and her Multi-Lock Missiles to +1.
![](61-060.jpg)
This seems like a fine enough team. Lets roll.

I dont think APSOS can shield themselves, which is nice, but shielded enemies take 0 damage from all sources for the duration of the shield, so we want to make sure we have EMPs ready to go.
![](72-069.jpg)
And lets just throw down another Sentry Gun right in this ones face.
![](73-070.jpg)
Before long, were dealing with a moderate swarm as well as a Terra Carrier.
![](74-071.jpg)
Fortunately, Yukis Leg Spike continues to be perfect for dealing with it.
![](75-073.jpg)
For this fight, we largely keep Ei on the front lines and have him EMP Surrounding any swarms. There are Drum Mines next to APSOS in the mix though, so we need to be a bit careful.
![](76-075.jpg)
Heres Hijiyama punching a shielded Drum Mine for 0 damage. What an idiot, doing what I told him to do!
![](77-077.jpg)
Still, its a pretty simple fight. Theres a Hi-Quad at some point in there but it melts pretty quick.

This goddamn game is so goddamn hard to react to, Im left just going fuckin what the hell!?!? over and over like a complete asshole, ugggghhhhh, its so goooooood
![](89-085.jpg)
![](90-086.jpg)
![](91-097.jpg)
Patriot increased Hijiyamas stats as the citys defense rating goes down. Pretty garbage.
![](92-087.jpg)
![](93-099.jpg)
Big Brother increases Miuras stats if Chihiro contacts the team? Ive beaten this game and I only sort of think I understand what this means? I think its just, if Chihiro calls the team in the bit of dialogue before the fight, Miuras stats go up for the rest of the wave? Maybe??? It seems likely that its pretty garbage.
![](94-089.jpg)
![](95-100.jpg)
Yuki gets I Got This, which increases all her stats more the fewer members there are on the strike team. Does not seem at all worth it to me, pretty garbage.
![](96-088.jpg)
![](97-090.jpg)
![](98-101.jpg)
![](99-098.jpg)
Finally, Ei and Shu both get Motorcyclist, which increases move speed while not in a Sentinel. Pretty garbage.

And thats another Destruction down.
