stellarwindThis is what happens when you spend several hours in a row playing Devil Kings. >>;
Still on Easy Mode, and Nobunaga/Nouhime still die very easily.
Beat the game with Shingen Takeda/Red Minotaur yesterday. (Oyakatasama! Yukimura! Oyakatasama! Yukimura! Oyakatasama! Yukimura!). To my great dismay the last mission I was left with was the Battle on the Great Plains stage. The Irdene/Ieyasu stage. With goddamned Iron Ox/Tadakatsu on my tail.
... I managed to defeat Tadakatsu. (Wait, what? He's a half-invincible mecha!) I did it using Shingen's Fury Drive - which pretty much causes fucking meteors to rain down around him. Basically I ran around, charging my Fury Drive and avoiding Tadakatsu until the gauge filled up... then Run up to him, release the fury drive, attack him every once in a while, then run away like a little girl once the meteor-rush is over. Then go hunt people to refill your fury gauge, rinse and repeat. Hey, it worked.
Also, Q-Ball is still a pain in the ass to fight. Even with Shingen, who is a farking -tank-.
After beating Conquest Mode with Shingen, I unlocked Sasuke/Talon, one of my favorite characters. And after playing as him, yeah, I can tell why. He's freaking -AWESOME- to play as.
After this I managed to unlock the few stages I haven't seen yet (Date Masamune/Azure Dragon's and Mitsuhide Akechi/Reaper's). The only stage I've yet to play is Muri's...
Also, Tosshie and Matsu Maeda (or Lark and Bramble) are UTTER PAINS IN THE ASS. They gave me hell with Shingen, and I'm yet to defeat them with Sasuke... Hurr.
On a side note, playing this made me develop Devil Kings style movesets for several Wild ARMs characters, because my mind loves crossing the streams like that.
Ashley Winchester
Element: Fire
Weapon: Bayonet Rifle ARM
Stats: Relatively balanced Attack/Defense, decent speed (not too slow, not too fast).
X attacks: Melee attacks with the rifle and the bayonet.
Triangle attack: A ranged round of ARM bullets. Hits several enemies clustered together (similar to Shingen's punch, I guess).
Power Attacks: Based on assorted ARM Cartridges - Multi Blast (attacks a wide range of enemies) and Rising Nova (A shoot/slash combination).
Fury Drive: Access. The Fury Drive temporarily transforms Ashley into Knight Blazer, dramatically boosting his stats. His attack patterns remain mostly the same, replacing his bayonet rifle with the energy blade of Mad Lucied and his shooting rounds with fireballs. Yes I know these attacks generally belong to OverKnight Blazer, but I like the ordinary Knight Blazer forme better appearance-wise.
Brad Evans
Element: Darkness (Sadly there is no 'Earth' element in Basara)
Weapon: Might Glove
Stats: Think Shingen, basically. High defense and HP, VERY nice attack, but slow.
X attacks: Assorted punches.
Triangle attack: Earthquake. By slam-jumping on the ground, Brad knocks assorted enemies in his immediate area down and primes them for attack.
Power Attacks: Based on his assorted ARMs. The Bazooka is first amongst these, the AM cluster may also be there.
Fury Drive: Rail Gun. Once his fury Drive finishes charging up, Brad whips out the Rail Gun and fire it forward, dealing immense damage to anything in his immediate firing range. This lasts for a short while before running out of power.
Kanon
Element: Darkness.
Weapon: Dagger
Stats: Sasuke-ish - high speed, very good attack, okayish defense. She can also double-jump.
X attacks: She can attack with just about every part of her body - her dagger, her extendable arm, her feet, anything goes. Human concealed weapon and all.
Triangle attack: Wire Fist - similar to Sasuke's triangle attack - except instead of one of the shuriken-glaives she uses her extendable bionic arm.
Power Attacks: Rad Blades allow her to execute a forward dash-attack. Other attacks are based on her assorted abilities.
Fury Drive: Lv. 4 Gat. She launches a flurry of attacks all over the place - again, similar to Sasuke's.

Tim and Lilka wouldn't really work in that game as anything but NPCs, and Marivel, well, Honestly, hell if I know what to do with her. XD
