Cheeseoman | Marberry Shore Hard in 1 Turn (No Orders) (Valkyria Chronicles) @cheeseoman | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
I beat Marberry Shore Hard in one turn with no orders. I found this level to be the trickiest of the Hard skirmishes to beat in one turn. It's also quite a bit harder than a one-turn completion of the same map on Expert. I relied heavily on potentials that only activate a fraction of the time, so I saved before and after most moves in order to ensure that the potentials activated.
One of the keys to my strategy is to make shock troopers turn so that Alicia can run by them later. I do this in a few places:
* On Karl's second move, I make the trooper south of Alicia face west-northwest. When Alicia starts moving, the trooper can see her for a split second, but not long enough to shoot her. This lets her activate Resist Crossfire without getting hit.
* At the end of Karl's third move, I make the northernmost trooper face east-northeast. He doesn't see Alicia at all.
* On Largo's move, I make the trooper west of him face toward him. He doesn't see Alicia at all.
On Alicia's final move, I repeatedly enter and exit target mode while near the enemy tank. This has two effects. First, it makes the tank turn its turret away from me so that I don't get hit. Second, it provides multiple chances for Resist Crossfire to activate. Once Resist Crossfire is active, the tank does very little damage, so I can let it hit me until Valkyria activates. Valkyria allows me to kill the tank with one attack.
