Tag Breaks[]
Andy has Tag Breaks with the following COs:
- Max, 110%, "Power Wrench" (1 star): Direct Attack focus. Focus on powering your way through enemy tricks and traps with Max's overpowering strength, and use Andy to keep your men alive long enough to dish out that damage.
- Eagle, 115%, "Airlift" (2 stars): The extra movement is nice, and an extra 15% never hut anyone.
- Hawke, 105%, "Shaky Alliance" (1 star): The ultimate in healing tags. Hawke, due to his longer power bar and superior strength should handle the day-to-day stuff, then Andy can jump out and do his stuff. A handy hint: as you get closer to the Tag Break, withdraw your units, as this power can only heal your units- not bring them back from the dead.
- Nell, 105%: Power of Orange.
- Sami, 105%: Power of youth.
- Von Bolt, 90%: Hnnnn... Von Bolt... hates children...
