SUPER ROBOT WARS ALPHA 2 (SRWALPHA 2) for the PlayStation2 Synchro-Attacks Guide by Daba Mylord (daba_mylord@yahoo.com.hk) Version 0.1 (April 18, 2003) ===================================================================== IMPORTANT STUFF (READ THESE FIRST): - The author assumes you can read the Japanese alphabet Katakana and Hiragana. - The author won't reply e-mails asking for translations and "point-me-outs". - This guide shall appear only on GameFAQs.com. Nowhere else. - Translations are imperfect and rough. - Plagiarism is a crime. Don't copy or steal this guide! - E-mail the author for corrections/contributions. You will be credited. ===================================================================== SYNCHRO-ATTACK FAQs: 1) What are Synchro-Attacks? - These are attacks that require 2 or more mechs/characters to execute. 2) Who can use Synchro-Attacks? - Certain pilots in certain units can activate and execute them. 3) Where can we find Synchro-Attacks? - In a mech's weapons listing, duh. 4) How do you execute Synchro-Attacks? - For one thing, the participating pilots/mechs should be deployed in the map. To activate the synchro-attacks, however, they need to be either a) IN THE SAME SQUAD, or b) IF THEY ARE NOT IN THE SAME SQUAD, THEY SHOULD BE CLOSE TO EACH OTHER (NOT TO FAR IN DISTANCE). 5) Is there any way to upgrade Synchro-Attacks? - Yes, but indirectly. You can do this by upgrading the weapon power of the mechs involved. For example, if you want to strengthen Goldion Hammer, you must upgrade the weapon power of GaoGaiGar and/or Goldimarg. To upgrade a Synchro-Attack fully, you must fully upgrade both mechs's wepaons fully. 6) Do spent resources to execute a Synchro-Attack affect both mechs? - Yes. If the synchro-attack drains 70 EN, both participating units deplete 70 EN. If one of the units have insufficient EN or morale, then the synchro attack will be disabled until the requirements are met. 7) Is there a master list of all the synchro-attacks? - No. They will be listed once the mechs are deployed in the map. 8) Would executing a synchro-attack end the turn of the other unit? - No, unless they are in the same squad. A perfect example is Gaiking and Daiku Maryu. They can never be in the same squad since Daiku Maryu is a mothership. If you make Gaiking execute the Fire Car Cutter and thus ending its turn, Daiku Maryu can use it, provided that both their EN requirements are met and that their range requirements is met (you can move anyway). 9) Can synchro-attacks be executed by all participating units? - Not all. Example, GaoGaiGar can execute the Goldion Hammer, but Goldimarg can't. Jeeg can execute the Mach Drill, Bigshooter can't. However, both Yuu and Hime can execute the Chakra Extension, same thing for Gaiking and Daiku Maryu for executing the Fire Car Cutter. ===================================================================== SYNCHRO-ATTACK ROUGH TRANSLATIONS AND FUNCTIONS 1) CHAKRA EXTENSION Required Units: Yuu Brain/Nelly Brain Hime Brain Required Pilots: Yuu (Yuu Brain/Nelly Brain) Hime (Hime Brain) Required Morale to execute: 120 morale Required EN to execute: 45 EN 2) FINAL DYNAMIC SPECIAL Required Units: Getta Dragon Mazinger-Z Great Mazinger Required Pilots: Ryouma (Getta Dragon) Koji (Mazinger-Z) Tetsuya (Great Mazinger) Required Morale to execute: 130 morale Required EN to execute: 80 EN 3) JEEG BAZOOKA (APPLICABLE TO KOUTETSU JEEG ONLY) Required Units: Koutetsu Jeeg Bigshooter Required Pilots: Hiroshi/Koutetsu Jeeg (Koutetsu Jeeg) Miwa (Bigshooter) Required Morale to execute: N/A Required EN to execute: N/A Note: Uses ammo instead of EN. 4) MACH DRILL (APPLICABLE TO KOUTETSU JEEG ONLY) Required Units: Koutetsu Jeeg Bigshooter Required Pilots: Hiroshi/Koutetsu Jeeg (Koutetsu Jeeg) Miwa (Bigshooter) Required Morale to execute: 110 morale.
