Conquer the Neotanks!? mission in Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising with this expert walkthrough. Learn CO choices, unit production, and capture strategies to achieve an S-Rank.
Alright, let's talk about the Neotanks!? mission. This one's a bit of a challenge, but totally doable! You'll be facing off against Lash, and it's rated *** for difficulty. To get that sweet S-Rank, you'll want to aim for 100 speed and power, meaning you'll need to destroy more than half of the enemy's units within 15 days. Technique is also 100/100, so don't leave any stone unturned!
Recommended CO: Colin is your best bet here. His income boost is invaluable for churning out units quickly. Grit or Olaf can also work if you prefer their playstyles, but Colin really shines in this mission.
Mission Data:
| Cities | Factories | Airports | Ports | Silos |
| 14 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 6 |
- 1Day 1: Your first move is crucial. Build three Infantry units immediately. Send the one on the east side east, and the one on the west side west. Your goal here is to capture the airport. As they move, have them fire on the northern missile silos, aiming directly at Lash's HQ. Send the third Infantry unit north, also firing a missile silo at the HQ as it advances.
- 2Day 2: On the east base, build an APC. On the north base, build another Infantry. Move the APC east and load the Infantry from Day 1 into it. Now, send this loaded APC east. Meanwhile, the Infantry from the north base should move southeast towards the two cities where the road turns. Keep firing missiles at the HQ whenever possible. Your priority is still capturing that airport! Once you've captured the airport, start reinforcing it with Tanks and Artillery.
- 3Day 12 (Approx.): Around this time, you'll want to send another APC with an Infantry unit north. Your target is Lash's HQ. Use this unit to capture it.
- 4Reinforcements: While your capture unit is making its way north, send Tanks from the airport you captured to support its advance. This will help clear any remaining enemy units and secure the capture.
- Focus on capturing the airport early. It's your key to getting powerful units like Tanks and Artillery onto the field quickly.
- Keep those missile silos firing at the enemy HQ. Every bit of damage counts!
- Don't neglect your Infantry. They are essential for capturing buildings, especially the airport and eventually the HQ.
- Use the APC to protect your Infantry and move them faster across the map.
