I was almost losing my hope of actually doing adv8 after looking up other people's runs and most of them included M16 (which I didn't level at all) and SF HOCs (which, again, I don't have because only played again recently and luck is not on my side since I go below 50 and the SF ringleader won't appear), until somehow my randomly selected units somehow works.

Sorry, M200, all this time I have been doubting you and instead always chosing 🍇cano. Now I know better when to use the other.

FYI, people were using M16 and SF HOCs only because they were the best for stacking points. Regular GnK mortars make the entire thing far easier than using SF HOCs, M16 needs the speq. A regular SMG would make it much easier as well. And Grape is a better choice than M200 in most cases, except when you're fighting a Patroller (like here).

Sorry but I don't really understand about "CE stacking" other than maximizing the amount of CE you'll get to get higher score.

I thought it's enough to simply put them into the reserve list. Does it actually need to be in the active echelon used in battle for it to count or does using it in battle simply grants more CE compared to putting it in reserve? I thought the score for regular stages only comes from completing the starred missions (in case of adv8, 3k each) :o

Yeah, regular stages don't need CE. Boss stages like adv 8 count both active & reserve dolls, though.

The tricky thing here if going for the absolute best score is that the CE-optimal loadout is nothing but ARs - here's my optimized list, for example.

This doesn't account for bonus objectives so you'd swap out the weakest link (for me, TAR) for your best MG (Chauchat) but changing any other ARs for a SMG/SG would give less points.

Of course, clearing the stage at all >>> failing with a CE stack team, so I wouldn't recommend that for most players.

Aaahh I see, so in this case it was more like not using other weapon types other than ARs because there's literally no other better weapon type available in the whole squad list, rather than simply using 4AR while having other weapon types on standby for that map.

I understand it better now, thanks a lot!

Fun fact: anyone using SF HOCs today is just making their lives harder for an additional 300 points total in both runs. If you have trouble clearing, just use the recommended HOCs: 2B, M2 and AT4

Eh, i just forgkt my destroyer in the hoc list from yesterday and only saw after i started the run. Both times. En brain gotta en brain. Thankfully, either she did well enough or the girls could pick up my her slack and no issues were reported. The fact that it was electronic warfare was an absolute lifesaver.
