Cheeseoman | Tank Launching (Valkyria Chronicles) @cheeseoman | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
A trick I found in Valkyria Chronicles. By using the Shamrock to push someone against a wall, you can launch them a huge distance. In this case, I launched Hector across the entire width of Showdown at Naggiar 2. I suspect that the presence of the Edelweiss is relevant, since I couldn't get the trick to work when it was far away.
This video shows a few clips of the trick:
1. I launch Hector from near the middle of the Edelweiss.
2. I launch Hector from behind the Edelweiss.
3. Another launch from near the middle.
4. I launch Hector from near the front of the Edelweiss. This was the first time I did the trick, and it was completely by accident. I wasn't recording, so I used the Switch's camera button to save the last 30 seconds of play. After I found Hector, I took a screenshot of his position on the map, which is shown at the end of the clip. The trick worked a little differently here because you can actually see Hector flying into the air. Also, he ended up in a completely different place than in the other clips; he's at the southern end of the map instead of the eastern end. Maybe this is because there were some enemies in the way.
I haven't done much testing with the trick, but perhaps it could be useful somewhere, especially if it can be done with another tank. For example, in Assault on Ghirlandaio (in the Selvaria campaign), maybe you can use the tank to launch somebody to the bottom level of the fortress and finish in one turn. I tried that briefly, but didn't get it to work.
