  • This series is all about video game characters who have left me in awe at their power, whether it's the ability to survive a boulder falling on their head, colossal earth-shattering strength, sheer dominance over the game they're in, etc.
    Naturally, we've seen a number of final bosses featured in this series, they tend to be the main threat for good reason. But even they have to put the work in to be truly feared by players.
    When it's nearly time to wrap up an Advance Wars game, you know you're in a rough ride with the final bosses...

And sturm has these Space Boots/Tires/Threads/Jet Engines that are immune to rain and alien weapons (such as the neotanks) have more fire power and defense than eartly weapons.

      In the first campaign, sturm pretty much always saves his power for the start of the turn. Whenever I play through the campaign, I'll usually have one "throwaway" CO to gather sacrifices for sturm (e.g.: Grit, Sami, Olaf). What I do with the trio is send a small number of forces to the front to assist andy and the more competent CO, whilst leaving some units back at their base and building some mechs to act as a "magnet". If it's against a human player, I just surrender.

    Von Bolt falls into the unfortunate situation of IS deciding they wanted their villain to be remotely balanced for VS mode. Therefore he's just incredibly mediocre, kinda like AW1 Sturm but worse (I might argue the defense boost is better overall but 4 damage meteor strike is obviously much worse). Overall it's an odd decision when they clearly did not even attempt to balance the "boss character" in AW2 or AW4, on either side of AW3, despite the fact that AW4 was supposed to be more competitive with online VS.
    Or maybe they just did it to him because he's old, idk.

    • @MrxD-cg5xs
      @MrxD-cg5xs 2 года назад +2

      yeah i too think they were experimenting with their final bosses in the original 3 games.
      in AW1 they made it so the story character and the playable character were two different versions with one being focussed on being a very strong opponent and the other being focussed on being a fair opponent for multiplayer. This however made the character feel underwhelming when finally unlocked, because we were used to the strong version from the story.
      in AW2 they made it so the character is just overall overpowered. This however made the character extremely unfair in multiplayer.
      in AW:DS they made it so the character is overall balanced. This however lead to them being underwhelming in the story.
      i think they took the feedback from the community from these 3 field tests to then create the character from AW:DoR (Caulder). The most liked version of those 3 seems to have been AW2 Sturm, so they went with that route of making the character extremely overpowered in all modes.
      however, i will have to heavily disagree with you saying Von Bolt was " just incredibly mediocre" - he is definitely one of the best COs in the game. definitely not overpowered or broken like AW2s Sturm, Hachi or Colin, but he is a very strong character nontheless. I agree that his Ex Machina is underwhelming for the 10 Star cost though. idk, they could have increased its range by one or two to make it stronger?

    Ah Caulder, how I loathe thee. You didn't even have time to mention how the mortar cannons in the final battle function the same way as Sturm's meteors. That's just icing on your grave. One small weakness in Caulder's power is that the healing consumes his funds so he won't make as many units as you do with equal economy, but still... there's a reason he's banned online.
    Speaking of Exodia and OP final bosses, I enjoy reading up on the finale of each new YuGiOh spinoff just to see how much more broken the final bosses' monsters can get. ARC-V set the bar pretty high; a dozen powerful characters got to fight him together and STILL lost badly.

    "The Advance Wars series' final bosses are excellent at creating character-building feelings of dread."
    Except for Von Bolt. I didn't feel dread with him, just annoyance and a little bit of frustration. Means to an End is just a bad level. All you do is spam infantry until your AI teammate destroys the three crystals on the second front, build a few bombers, and pop Eagle's SCOP when your units are in position.
    That being said, the mission right before it, "For the Future!", was great and would have been a better final battle. It felt like a proper strategic battle - Orange Star plays the main force, keeping Von Bolt's units occupied, Blue Moon builds meter with expensive naval units and uses it to pop mass damage tags, and then Green Earth goes in for the surgical strike against the Black Obelisk, which SHOULD have been the final objective. It honestly felt like the devs tacked "Means to an End" on at the end simply because they wanted to have the traditional two fights with the big bad at the end.
    Also, doesn't snow just negate his movement advantages?

    • @MasterKnightDH
      @MasterKnightDH 5 лет назад +13

      Snow does remove Sturm's movement advantages, but his units still aren't less mobile than other COs'. And it's not like Olaf could even use Blizzard every Day even in 1V1s where he wouldn't have to worry about being a potential case of Stop Helping Me.

      The reason Mean To The End is a miserable failure is because of the absolute lack of competent auxiliary support. All you have to do is overtake the properties on the south and Von Bolt will be floundering.

      Oozium's only really threatening if you aren't very good at AW, unfortunately. if you don't attack it with enough power to kill it in one go it can be more annoying, at least to your technique score if nothing else. The map pretty much just falls apart if you don't let the enemy have free reign of the south cities though, yes, oozium alone in the wide open is not good. And I agree that the obelisk was a much better map. But the name of the game is Dual Strike so you had to have a two front map to end with because that's the whole shtick of the game, even if you can't control the top for some reason.

      Funnily enough, Caulder's healing costs is how I brought down his CO Fighter on Day 12 precisely in my LP. Granted, at that point, I was simply holding out to show the Day 12 dialogue, since I could have finished the final laser off LONG before.

      None of the Days of Ruin COs are balanced, actually. There is a very clear power progression as you go through the COs as they retain the same advantages in the Campaign, and you notice that they're tougher and tougher as you go through the levels, and no it aint just because of the level setups. That's the one thing that bugs me about that game. Everything else is fantastic, but the CO balancing is just terrible.

    only found this from his final mission as i abused him not being able to capture many areas but yeh there is a obvious reason why he is banned in online play i do miss sturm but caulder/ stolos does make it up for that and larissa /tabitha is so much more fun to play as compared to von bolt something about a 180 / 180 unit thats always satisfying

    Sturm is even worse in the final mission of the game because he straight up cheats. During the mission you have to destroy Sturms comically large missile that'll obliterate you in 30 turns. Problem, he has several massive cannons that can attack from a long distance and a freaking death ray that will fire down the middle of the map every 7 turns and obliterate anything in it's path. He also starts with a boatload of money and a million different base's and airbases to spawn units, This is in addition to the fact that all of his units have 30% higher attack and defence than yours at no extra cost, and the fact that he still has his meteor strike which will fuck up your units even more and buff his units even further. You are allowed to bring three seperate armies to this fight and he will take all three of you on likes it's nothing. Fighting him straight on is futile, your best bet is to try and sneak a bomber past his units to attack the missile because remember, you're on a timer. There is a joke in the community that if you ever hear his full theme during his turn, you have most likely already lost. Dude is a menace.
