Advance Wars Mission 21: Duty & Honor (2) walkthrough. Learn how to take out laser cannons and protect your cities from capture by Day 12.
Walkthrough
- 1On Challenge Campaign, you start with an additional medium tank and two anti-air units.
- 2Adder's forces west of the river include an additional anti-air, two medium tanks, a recon unit, and a mech.
- 3East of the river, Adder replaces a medium tank with a rocket and adds two artillery units.
- 4In the southeast, Adder has one fewer mech and one fewer infantry, but two additional Neotanks.
- 5Your primary objective is to take out the laser cannons, which attack on every even turn. Use a rocket from range to damage them, and then use mechs to finish them off.
- 6Warning: Avoid getting hit by the laser cannons before they are destroyed.
- 7Move your tanks eastward as far as possible without exposing most of your indirect units to first strike.
- 8Adder's infantry and mechs will begin capturing your cities on Day 5.
- 9Warning: If you are not careful, Adder's units will finish taking your cities on Day 12.
- 10Utilize your indirect units and the bridge to your advantage.
- 11Stay out of BH (Black Hole) indirect range.
- 12Use your tanks and Super Power to defeat Adder's forces when the opportunity arises.
- 13If your tanks become weakened, join them together to maintain their strength, as they are your main offensive weapon.
- 14Decimate Adder's forces at the bridge.
- 15After securing your cities, pull back some tanks to deal with the final Black Hole hold in the south-central part of the map.
- 16Simultaneously, use rapid-moving tanks to destroy Adder's rockets.
- 17Take out the laser cannons on days 4 and 8.
- 18Smash Adder's forces from the back, then advance through the map.
- 19Stop Black Hole from taking your final city on Day 12.
- 20Advance to the south to eliminate the remaining enemy units.
Tips
- Speed is not your primary advantage in this mission.
- Focus on destroying the laser cannons early, ideally by Day 4 and Day 8.
- Use the bridge effectively to funnel enemy units.
- Coordinate your tank movements to clear the bridge and then address the southern Black Hole stronghold.
