What Advance Wars Days of Ruin COs should be banned?

[popsofctown]

I'm going to play a smasher friend at Days of Ruin a few times. We're both of a competitive mind and would be happy to ban characters that are obviously the best choice until it comes to some sort of equilibrium. According to what little I've read (i just got the game in my hands right now), Caulder definitely has to be banned or he's obviously the best choice. How much more after that?

iirc, Caulder can't be unlocked for use in multiplayer.

You really don't need to ban any of them because the way Days of Ruin is set up basically makes CO advantages non-existent compared to other games in the series. This also makes it much less fun imo, but I don't really want to get into that.

I guess if you had to ban a CO, I'd say Tabitha since her CO ability is the most noticeable. If you want more info on the subject, look on AdvanceWarsNet or even GameFAQs for a tier list.

If you played Duel Strike and pick Sami and Hawk, your a big cheater because they **** the whole cast if played on teams. Hawk makes you move twice in day, and Sami takes over your building with one take over.

Days of Ruin broken COs is.... Tabitha, (I love her so freaken much <3), she not too broken, just her COs power is too high, full power acturally. Caulder however is too broken for words, he can heal the troops in the shadows, and his COs is full power at the same time, even if your in the shadow, the troops that's not even the choosen one get's they power up craziely as well. But it's not as broken as Duel Strikes, it's actually more balanced.

I'm playing Advanced Wars right now <3

Tabitha, her effect is just like Forsythe with a really good CO power, Caulder no doubt. Also, you might be willing to ban Isabella, since her Co effect is Will and Lin combined and her CO power is like Gage's and Will's combined as well, but it's half of Will's, Lin's and Gage's. So your call, some people want her banned 0.o

IDS is broken, period, expect Penny <3 Mr. Bear wants to blow stuff up xD

You mean Eagle, not Hawke. Hawke was the one who made all opponents take 1 and healed his units 1hp with his CO power, and his super CO was basically the same thing only with 2 hp.

Sami/Eagle is a good combination and it's probably my second favorite. The only thing I don't like about it is that it takes so long to build up their power bars. They also get owned pretty badly by Sasha's CO power, and they often can't keep up with faster tags against combos like Adder/Koal, Kanbei/Sonia, or any combination of COs who both have total power bars of 6 or less (which, unfortunately, is most of them). Still, if you play Eagle/Sami smart and wait for the right advantage, you'll definitely come out ahead.

Sami/Eagle is also not the most broken CO team. Colin or Hachi with any other CO (even VonBolt) is incredibly overpowered since it effectively makes the opponent have to keep up with a ****load of units coming at them each turn. Grit can also be really annoying since he can just sit back and camp with his indirects once he has the lead...it's like an AW version of Planking. A lot of people also think that Nell is too overpowered and I can kind of see where they're coming from, but you ultimately can't rely on her too much.

Incidentally, my favorite tag in Dual Strike is Nell/Rachel. Nell can take the lead easily while waiting for Rachel to build up her super power and then they can tag and destroy nearly everything in sight. It can be pretty cheap, but it's just too good not to love.

Damm, I always get the names mixed up, well that's what I get for not playing Duel Strike for a while.

We should all agree that Days of Ruin COs are not broken enough to be banned in competive play.

I'd say Tabitha is a debatable ban, but generally I agree with this. Doesn't matter to me anyway, I don't play Days of Ruin.

That is what I always do
