Earth Defense Force 2025 (known as Earth Defense Forces 4 in Japan) is a Third-Person Shooter developed by Sandlot and published by D3 Publisher. The game is a direct sequel to 2007's Earth Defense Force 2017, taking up the story 8 years later.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Ravagers have sprung up from underground to invade Earth once again and it's up to the Earth Defense Force to stop them. If you're familiar with the previous games in the series, you should know what to expect: players will take control of a foot soldier and gun down any-and-all Godzilla-sized bugs, robots, and other monstrosities the Ravagers sics at Japan (and you).Unlike Vicious Cycle's Insect Armageddon, this installment retains the B-Movie charm and sense of scale the series is known for. Taking cues from all three of its predecessors (most notably Earth Defense Force 2), the game features four playable classes this time around. Rangers, the standard infantry unit; Wing Divers, female soldiers equipped with jet packs to fly; Air Raiders, support soldiers that can call in air strikes, vehicles, and other support items; and Fencers, walking Powered Armored men with long-range artillery, a sledgehammer, pile bunker, and dual-wieldable chainguns. Enemy variety has also been stepped up along with the addition of online multiplayer for up to four players, allowing you and your three other EDF team-mates take on the Ravager horde together.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The game was released on July 4, 2013 in Japan, February 18, 2014 in North Amercia, and February 21 in Europe for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game had several pre-order bonuses, depending on where you pre-ordered the game, but has become available for free. One of them in Japan was a crossover with Dream C Club where Mian and Setsu are featured in 2025 as balloon decoys for your Ranger and Air Raider respectively to use in combat if purchased directly from D3 Publisher. Dream C Club: GoGo also featured the Pale Wing's uniform from the Japan-exclusive Earth Defense Force 2. GameStop pre-orders offers the Air Raiders Weapons Pack, which includes a gold-coated model of the BMO3 Vegalta with a combat burner to throw flames and take flight for short periods of time when equipped plus Pure Decoy Launcher (Setsu). Amazon pre-orders offers the Ranger Weapons Pack, which includes Volatile Napalm Discharge Device and the Pure Decoy Launcher (Mian).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })An Updated Re-release titled Earth Defence Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair was released for PlayStation 4 in December 2015, which was also released on Steam in July 2016.The reboot titled Earth Defense Force 5 was globally released on April 11, 2019. | |

Video-Game Flamethrowers Suck | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_10c393f5 | comment |
Video Game Flamethrowers Suck: Zigzagged. The lower level Man-portable flamethrowers for the Ranger class are about as useless as ever. The very first one is literally a blowtorch that is effectively useless. Until players unlock the more powerful flame throwers for the Ranger the weapons tend to be too weak to use. Flame throwers equipped on some variations of the Velgata, however, are basically twin cones of constant pain that pierce through swarms of Ravagers with ease and only get more powerful with more powerful units. Another example are Flame Revolvers used by the Fencers. Part of the Automatic Artillery line of weapons they can be powerful but have numerous flaws. The weapons have long spin up times to begin firing, have excessive recoil making aiming one being fired difficult at best, and you can only fire one at a time or that excessive recoil will exceed the players ability to fight the recoil and just point straight up. They are almost exclusively limited to use in tunnels but are beat out by better weapons available to the fencer. | |

Death from Above | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_1c398324 | comment |
Death from Above: Several enemies attack the player from above, notably the various gun ship enemies. The various bugs will climb buildings and attack or shoot the player as well. Several weapons have projectiles fly up high, then dive down on the target below them. One of the weapon types of the Air Raider is to call in various air/support strikes, often raining fire from above the battlefield. Some of the Humongous Mecha enemies get in on the act and use the height advantage to fire down on the player, and the Hector's long range plasma artillery can still swat the player from clear across the map. Player summoned and driven missile artillery vehicles which fires multiple homing missiles which usually need to be fired at a high angle causing the missiles to turn around at a high point and seek out the targets below. Wing Divers also utilize this trope when they attack from above, especially with explosive weaponry. | |

Tanks for Nothing | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_20e0d3e8 | comment |
Tanks for Nothing: NPC controlled tanks often end up this way, getting easily killed unless you babysit them and kill any enemies approaching them. In one level, a Ravager walking fortress simply steps on a giant tank as it tries to back away from it after the tank's attack fails to damage it. | |

Utility Weapon | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_21e1a8e3 | comment |
Utility Weapon: Weapons that use explosives can be used to clear out areas congested by buildings, creating room for a killing ground and denying the aliens a high place to attack the player from. It is not an uncommon tactic for players laying deployable weapons or equipment to level surrounding buildings with explosive weapons before luring enemies into the deployable weapon kill zones. Due to how vehicle drops work, clearing out some space can make room for players to receive the larger vehicles. | |

Palette Swap and simply making some enemies larger with more health, damage, and speed is common throughout the game.

Did you think this military has those fancy-pants Japanese models for their giant robots? Nope. Every mecha is slow, turns like a drunken whale, and won't get you to the other side of the city in less than 15 minutes. That's okay, since the bugs will come to you. | |

Wave-Motion Gun: A late tier/end game Wing Diver weapon that fires a giant forward traveling wave of energy that flattens multiple city blocks and pretty much kills any enemy it hits. The game lists it as a "Grenade Launcher". Motherships employ a "Genocide Gun" that fires a powerful sweeping laser that can flatten city blocks and fry soldiers in one go. | |

| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Near the end of the campaign, the E.D.F. is basically defeated. Their HQ has been found and destroyed multiple times, most of the planet is trapped beneath World Eaters, and they've already issued instructions to the civilian populace to begin a guerrilla fight against the Ravagers. The player's squad, which has been fighting through increasingly insurmountable odds as the game progresses, is part of the E.D.F.'s final, desperate assault on the 'Brain' controlling the invasion. As the attack fails and the last hope of the planet fades, the squad's status as a group of Determinators is revealed and immediately lampshaded: | |

Revolvers Are Just Better: The EDF are particularly fond of Revolver Cannons on their mechs, a real-life loading method for large-bore weapons that moves shots from the magazine into a multi-shot cylinder. The Fencer gets the Flame Revolver, a flamethrower revolver that happens to be one of the most devastating close-range weapons you can use - if you can manage the recoil. | |

More Dakka: Although Rangers can achieve some impressive sprays of bullets with just an assault rifle, the Air Raiders up the ante with vehicle-mounted machineguns while the Fencers can dual-wield handheld Gatling Guns. Some of the Wing Diver's laser and beam based weapons focus on this feature. The rate of fire on many of her weapons is 60 shots per second. For comparison the Fencer can only achieve this rate of fire by dual-wielding the lightest versions of his gatling guns, while the Ranger only gets it for his non-recharging laser rifles. The Titan in addition to its main gun, sports two cannon turrets on top of its main turret, plus two grenade launchers, or in higher level versions, missile launchers, and its machine gun. | |

Missing Back Blast: None of the rocket launcher weapons have any form of back blast when launched besides some visuals. Subverted for the missile launchers. The missile launchers use a realistic soft launchnote A small charge kicks the missile out of the launch tube where the main motor kicks off and launches the missile at full speed which mitigate or eliminate backblast. | |

Multi-Melee Master: The Fencer can carry any Dual Wielding combination of axes, swords, spears, warhammers or shields at the same time. This is mostly viable only if the Fencer has overpowered weapons and armor or is playing on a lower level of difficulty where ants are the only enemy. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The Ranger and most of his weapons. There's really nothing particularly exotic about the Ranger. He can't fly, he doesn't call down artillery strikes or summon tanks and mechs, nor does he dual-wield huge guns and melee weapons. He's in the middle in most attributes, but he's the best for raining hell on the battlefield with his extremely practical weapons and getting in the driver's seat of any extra vehicles the Air Raider calls in. Some of the Air Raider's items fall into this category. Letting allies lock on faster with missiles and buffing their defense or damage isn't very interesting, but it can make a huge difference in a close fight, especially because the latter applies to all friendly AI in range too. Healing items when playing online on higher difficulties can be very helpful. With the level lock you won't be able to steamroll your way through them due to stronger weapons being restricted, unless you've done some serious grinding get the ability to turn it off, and the higher difficulties are designed to make it more difficult to avoid being hit. Healing weapons can both help top off your team's health as a Ranger, but not yours unless you're using capsules which are more limited than the spray, or help your team hold out and regain their health, in addition to making revivals with more than 2 players almost trivial as you can just heal the other person, let them revive the teammate, and then heal both up to max. So long as you're careful the limit on healing shouldn't cause any problems since it can be supplemented by health boxes. There are also plenty of weapons are just easier to use and deal damage more consistently than others, such as picking a mundane weapon over its harder to use or more specialized version or picking smaller, more controlled explosives over massive but harder to contain ones. | |

| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_3d897748 | comment |
This is essentially how the E.D.F. ultimately prevails. The last couple missions before the final stage all but state the E.D.F. has given up as a whole, and is less interested in winning than in killing as many Ravagers as possible on their way out. The surviving troops manage to succeed so well in this task that the 'Brain', which previously ran screaming from them in a previous battle, is personally coming after them, giving them the opportunity to win the war. | |

We Will Use Lasers in the Future | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_40811c85 | comment |
We Will Use Lasers in the Future: The EDF has developed energy weapons from studying Ravager technology. For the Ranger and Fencer, there's a reason to have them as a secondary gun. The weapons have high damage and a high rate of fire. They can be found in lower difficulties/stages. Unfortunately since these classes don't have reactors to recharge them on the battlefield, they can't reload. Wing Divers use a wide variety of laser weapons that are recharged off the wing divers built in reactor. The Air Raider can even call in laser cannon strikes from a satellite in orbit. | |

Lag Cancel | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_41d74667 | comment |
The Ion Mirror Shield seems highly impractical as a shield due to its low integrity and general impracticality of spamming the deflector to avoid damage. That is until you realize that spamming the deflector is how you Lag Cancel the Fencer's dash, the Ion Mirror Shield has the lowest energy use for the deflector, and the level 0 version has a short reload time once you run out of energy from rampant deflector use. Simply put, it's the item that most reliably enables the Fencer to be a Lightning Bruiser. | |

Pile Bunker: The CC Piercer spear line of melee weapons for the Fencer. It pierces the target and explodes! The Blasthole Spear. Low fire rate, but high damage and surprisingly high range, both of which increase on followup second shots. The Flashing Spear, which trades off raw single-shot damage for rapid-fire capability. There's still an initial delay before it fires, however. The Blast Twin Spear, which is effectively a double Blasthole Spear! | |

This can be subverted by equipping weapons that give him side thrusters, like most melee weapons. The cooldown on the dash can even be cancelled by activating the shield deflector right after the dash ends, turning the Fencer into an outright Lightning Bruiser that can cross the map at high speed, consistently evade enemy attacks and one-shot most enemies with a good melee weapon. On top of that, melee weapons don't slow down the Fencer's turn rate at all, so you can switch to melee to prevent those pesky Ravagers from attempting to flank you. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation: Justified since there are battles the player isn't participating in, but it can sometimes be really jarring to hear dialogue bemoaning the seemingly hopeless war or your team mates cowering in fear while you effortlessly tear through wave after wave of aliens singlehandedly. This is backed up by the fact that while Storm Team always survives, the more numerous yet less prestigious troops accompanying them are often reduced to less than half their original count by the end of each mission, if they aren't wiped out completely. Radio commentary in various missions also suggests the E.D.F. is fighting a desperate battle and suffering extreme casualties despite Storm Team's string of successes. The mission in 4.1 that introduces the player to the Walking Fortress Balam expects the player to kill the Erginus in the level with it, and after the Erginus is killed the dialogue will state the Balam is capable of defeating Erginus. If the Balam is destroyed and the player kills Erginus on foot, there is no change. | |

Missile Lock-On | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_64dad36b | comment |
Missile Lock-On: The players weapons get a bounding box and cross hair with a beeping sound indicating it is tracking an enemy. The icon will flash and emit a sound letting the player know they can fire the weapon. Subverted with some of the Fencers missiles which instead require the target to be designated by an Air Raider equipped with a designator weapon. | |

EliteMook | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_6838a3ec | comment |
Elite Mook: Red Gunships are just tougher palette swapped gunships that have more health, fire higher number and more powerful shots, and fly faster. The Giant Red Ants are basically the black ants from the first level but with more health, more speed, no ranged attack, and a more powerful bite attack. Palette Swap and simply making some enemies larger with more health, damage, and speed is common throughout the game. This includes two different varities of smaller dragons by colour but also giant "mutant enemy wasps that are larger red versions that have been beefed up in speed, attack, and health. The various enemies in "Time of the Mutants" DLC has several stronger palette swapped enemies. Examples include Silver Spiders, Gold Ants, Green Ants, Purple Retarius, and other coloured enemy variants. Mutant enemies encountered in the main game also appear as do palette swapped King Mook examples. | |

The giant wasp hive until destroyed constantly spawns wasps. The various "Bug Holes" you will encounter can spawn enemies in large numbers.

The EDF and the rest of the earth have taken the technology of the Ravagers after having defeated them and used it to rebuild the earth. Elements of that same technology also went into rebuilding and improving the EDF giving us the four character classes. | |

Badass Army | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_8878f3be | comment |
Badass Army: The E.D.F. is very strong despite their being blindsided by the alien invasion. The NPC soldiers become tougher and deadlier the higher up in difficulty one goes. It goes to the point where one of the better strategies for farming new equipment is to run away from the fight, and come back to pick all the boxes when the E.D.F. troopers have killed most of the bugs/Ravagers. Applies to the EDF in story as well as gameplay. The Ravagers return with multiple motherships. In 2017, just one of these ships was nearly unstoppable. Out of the 10 that are on their way to Earth, about half are destroyed by the E.D.F.'s planetary defence weapons before they even arrive. Most of the ones that do make it are destroyed about half way through the game by both the player character, and other squads in offscreen battles. This is inverted on lower difficulties, where E.D.F. soldiers will be messily slaughtered by small groups of insects. It only gets worse when the giant robots show up. | |

Hitscan: Some of the weapons in the game especially high velocity or laser beam weapons are hit scan weapons. Averted for almost everything else, it's notable with the assault rifles of the Ranger that some of them have the advantage of especially fast-moving bullets as part of descriptions. Plasma weapons such as the Ranger's Plasma Bombers and the Wing Diver's plasma weapons are especially sluggish to the point where a Wing Diver can accidentally fly into her own shot. | |

Wing Divers get access to a whole line of plasma cannon-like weapons as part of one of their weapon classes. Including an example that strongly resembles the Ravager plasma artillery projectile. | |

Deconstruction | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: Of The Power Fantasy, albeit in a rather subtle fashion. Your characters partake in many missions, and just about every one of them ends with a victory, and on lower difficulties, those victories can be nearly effortless. However, the aliens are not just attacking everywhere you are, but everywhere you aren't as well. Unfortunately, without the hypercompetent, seemingly immortal heroes with an ever-expanding arsenal and ever-improving armor backing up the EDF forces literally everywhere else on Earth, the overall war is going extremely poorly. No one else improves, grows, or gets any better equipment, just you. This quickly turns into nightmare fuel as you hear radio chatter about things like how over half the human race is wiped out, or how everyone else is giving up hope as all of their friends and family are wiped out by the Ravagers. People are panicking, screaming about how they don't want to die or how they've effectively given up hope. No one stands any chance against the Ravagers, and people are dying by the billions as the fight goes on, and literally no one is paying any attention to your accomplishments due to it being a single drop of water being thrown onto a roaring planet-sized inferno. With all of the power to stop the alien invasion concentrated in the hands of four people, tops, the fight to save the world goes exactly as well as can be expected. | |

Mighty Glacier | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_933576c8 | comment |
Mighty Glacier: The Fencer hits hard, is the only class capable of Dual Wielding, can carry a shield that can reduce damage taken and even deflect attacks, and his armor level develops the fastest out of all the classes. However, he's slow to turn when using guns, has poor acceleration when trying to run, has to restart his run whenever he attacks or stops moving, some of his guns have terrible recoil that paralyzes him for a second or two after firing, and using a shield reduces his movement to a crawl. This can be subverted by equipping weapons that give him side thrusters, like most melee weapons. The cooldown on the dash can even be cancelled by activating the shield deflector right after the dash ends, turning the Fencer into an outright Lightning Bruiser that can cross the map at high speed, consistently evade enemy attacks and one-shot most enemies with a good melee weapon. On top of that, melee weapons don't slow down the Fencer's turn rate at all, so you can switch to melee to prevent those pesky Ravagers from attempting to flank you. Of the vehicles, the best example the Walking Fortress Balam. It is so slow that it can't avoid attacks from anything besides Erginus, and its only form of attack without an extra driver is very slow. But it has by far the most health of any vehicle so it can easily take the damage unless it's up against a swarm of small flying enemies, and its fists can take out most enemies in a single hit. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: AI Wing Divers like to repeatedly jet up in the same location to the point of running out of energy. Your fellow EDF soldiers also have a distressing habit of walking or flying in front of you just as you fire off a powerful weapon with a dangerous area of effect. This has predictably infuriating results. In enclosed areas like tunnel missions, EDF troops will call out nearby bugs, and proceed to open fire... into a wall, because while they are close by, they're still not visible yet. Fencers AI teammates do not make use of their shields whatsoever, and do not actively attempt to boost dodge away from attacks, meaning they're slow attackers without the durability or mobility the class is known for and are perhaps the most useless class when it comes to AI teammates. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_9aaf8eca | comment |
Crippling Overspecialization: Walking Fortress Balam was built to fight Erginus, and fighting giant enemies is all its good for. It's so slow that it can't effectively defend itself against large groups of smaller enemies (flying ones especially), against which even its massive amount of health won't save it. | |

No Range Like Point-Blank Range: Anything with a "D" or worse in accuracy will pretty much require this, though damage doesn't actually drop with distance until the bullets cease to exist. A favorite strategy of most insects. Their ranged attacks are usually low damage shotgun style attacks, but at point blank no amount of armor will save you. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: The very existence of the DLC missions is this trope; the enemies are tougher and more dangerous, but they also net more items per mission play through. The Fencer class exemplifies this trope. The class moves differently than any of the others classes and players have to learn to deal with momentum built up from running around. It also requires learning how to deal with its slow attack speed on most weapons, setting up both Dual Wielding loadouts to maximize mobility due to the jump and dash effectively being Secondary Fire on the weapons and guns damping the turn rate compared to melee weapons, and most importantly, knowing how to Lag Cancel the side dash. But once mastered, the Fencer becomes a Lightning Bruiser that can outrun most vehicles, dance around enemies' attacks while hitting hard, and soften up enemies from a distance with heavy artillery fire once in position. Once a player masters the various aspects of the Fencer class it becomes an impressively powerful and fun to play character class. The vehicles that can be summoned by the Air Support character. Piloting and aiming them requires copious use of the directional pads, have no means of reloading once their guns are empty and can be slow as all out depending on the vehicle summoned, but once you get used to them, you can deliver so much hell on your opponents. | |

Chainmail Bikini: Lampshaded by the Wing Divers' own conversation. Sometimes they'll complain about not wearing actual armour suits even though the lighter uniform makes them light enough to fly in the first place. That said, the amount of armor they do wear (or lack thereof) isn't gratuitous by the standards of this trope. They wear more of a metallic one-piece swimsuit. | |

The other soldier dismisses it as a myth, though. Some dialogue has rumor spread that they're now a member of Storm Team. | |

Infinite Supplies: Played straight with the majority of the players weapons and equipment. The player has an infinite supply of ammo, but they do need to reload. Averted with certain weapons which can't be reloaded because the required equipment is too cumbersome to carry, as well as all vehicles. This is also Played for Drama with the Ravagers, who can teleport transport ships directly to Earth and have weapons that can cover the entire planet. | |

No-Sell: The first usage of the Shield Screen baffles and confuses everyone in HQ when they first encounter it. It deflects low mass, fast moving items like missiles and bullets, but they figure out that high mass, slow moving items, like, say, humans, can slip through, which leads to deployment of the Fencers to fight the shield bearers. When Erginus first appears, everyone is frightened that the beast is so tough. Indeed, your character could be outfitted with high-leveled weapons at that point and would not hurt it at all. The Fencer can also achieve this with his vibro hammers, which absorb damage when they attack. Time it right and you can brush off an airstrike. | |

Cycle of Hurting | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_c121be7b | comment |
Cycle of Hurting: Players caught by the Hector energy machine gun are typically blinded and partially stun locked making countering them almost impossible. The smaller rapid fire laser cannons can sometimes injure players just as they are getting up from the rag doll state which can result in them being tossed around and injured further. Hectors are one of the units most vulnerable to this, as taking damage will throw off their aim and force them to spin up their lighter weapons all over again, or make them waste a heavy cannon shot completely. This is also why the flamethrowers and flame revolvers are such potent weapons. | |

| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_c5594984 | comment |
Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe: Despite the last known appearance of Giant Insects happening in Arizona around the time of Earth Defense Force 2017, they reemerge in Tokyo. While none of the maps are exact copies of any area, each has a distinctive and recognizable building or landmark. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_c5b47b36 | comment |
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: In the final mission, the only thing stopping a mothership from intervening and annihilating Storm Team is when a silent and presumed destroyed section of command independantly works out what the EDF remnants are trying to do and targets a secret satellite weapon onto the mothership. Said mothership never reaches the battlefield. | |

Shout-Out | |

Shout-Out: Like the rest of its series, both its Japanese name (Chikyu Boeigun) and its Western one are the same as the organization from the Godzilla franchise. Erginus is one to the Kaiju of Pacific Rim, having blue bioluminescent patches all over its body. Walking Fortress Balam similarly takes design elements from the same movie's Jaegers, as well as Transformers city-bots like Metroplex or Fortress Maximus, even having window-like details on its limbs. | |

Serial Escalation | |
| Earth Defense Force 2025 (Video Game) / int_ce104b8e | comment |
Serial Escalation: A player starts their career in the E.D.F. responding to a possible prank call about giant insects attacking. Lo and behold, giant ants are climbing all over the city and trying to eat the citizens. Wing Divers deploy to take advantage of the lack of flying insects, then giant spiders trap them in webs that stretch between office buildings. Giant leaping spiders show up in massive swarms. Finally, the Ravagers come back on the scene with dozens of Hectors and their humongous Mothership. This is a summary of the first 12 missions out of 80. This will get to the point where just giant ant swarms are viewed as the good old days. | |

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Most likely intentionally, given the very B-movie-esque atmosphere. Mass, distance, and size are never really an issue. Real life wouldn't allow for arthropods the size of semi trailers, robots that look like Noodle People would collapse under their own weight, and alien motherships are smaller than real-life cargo ships. But none of that matters because spectacle and absurdity trump realism. | |

Lethal Joke Item: The Ranger's Acid Gun is little more than a Super Soaker that shoots acid at short range, but that aside it's one of the best early-game short-range weapons in terms of damage output, ammo capacity and rate of fire. The Ion Mirror Shield seems highly impractical as a shield due to its low integrity and general impracticality of spamming the deflector to avoid damage. That is until you realize that spamming the deflector is how you Lag Cancel the Fencer's dash, the Ion Mirror Shield has the lowest energy use for the deflector, and the level 0 version has a short reload time once you run out of energy from rampant deflector use. Simply put, it's the item that most reliably enables the Fencer to be a Lightning Bruiser. | |

Monumental Battle: Tokyo Skytree is the central landmark of one mission map, though the surrounding area isn't entirely accurate to its actual location. Being part of the terrain rather than an environmental object, it has Monumental Damage Resistance. The first mission to attack the Giant Insects' subterranean breeding ground begins in Tokyo Station before moving into the subway lines and then underground caverns. It's not so lucky, as the main platform and several tunnels have been damaged by burrowing ants. | |

Determinator | |

Determinator: You better believe the E.D.F. is a whole army of them. They refuse to back down in the face of overwhelming numbers, superior technology, and will not surrender since the Ravagers want every human dead. Near the end of the campaign, the E.D.F. is basically defeated. Their HQ has been found and destroyed multiple times, most of the planet is trapped beneath World Eaters, and they've already issued instructions to the civilian populace to begin a guerrilla fight against the Ravagers. The player's squad, which has been fighting through increasingly insurmountable odds as the game progresses, is part of the E.D.F.'s final, desperate assault on the 'Brain' controlling the invasion. As the attack fails and the last hope of the planet fades, the squad's status as a group of Determinators is revealed and immediately lampshaded: This is essentially how the E.D.F. ultimately prevails. The last couple missions before the final stage all but state the E.D.F. has given up as a whole, and is less interested in winning than in killing as many Ravagers as possible on their way out. The surviving troops manage to succeed so well in this task that the 'Brain', which previously ran screaming from them in a previous battle, is personally coming after them, giving them the opportunity to win the war. | |
