Line 76:
** While Sol Dios Orbit can be ohko'd It still requires you to take out the cannons, and Great Wall can only be damaged from the inside.
** Actually if you time it right, the sol dios crab will release the cannons, then you immediately 1 hit it with a laser sword, and they will die as well. Actually very easy to do.
* [[BFGBig Freaking Gun]] - Pretty much all the guns featured in the series.
** To clarify, the opening cutscene to For Answer shows that a basic rifle has to be transported to the launch site by a helicopter, which is slightly smaller than the gun itself.
** Deployable weapons, the Giga Cannon and Legion/Multiple Pulse Ultimate/Overed Weapon in 5 really get the point across by being much bigger the the AC itself.
Line 353:
* [[Super Prototype]] - Usually a few of them around in each game, whether its a mech or just a weapon part. Subverted in ''For Answer'' where the player's operator comments that because they are sending out last generation Super Prototypes ORCA must be getting desperate.
* [[Surprisingly Elite Cannon Fodder]]: 621 in ''6''. You're not just a newbie, you're outright expendable. There have been 620 before you. That "4" in C4 means you're a part of the fourth generation of augmented humans, which means there have been three generations with who knows how many members. There are almost certainly more waiting to be raised up should you fall. Nevertheless, you not only survive, you thrive and become decisive in the fate of Rubicon.
* [[Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors]] - Y'see, the best way to counter the [[Macross Missile Massacre|missile spam]] is usually [[More Dakka|machine gun fire]] which is then best followed up with [[BFGBig Freaking Gun|grenade lanchers]] or [[Wave Motion Gun|plasma weapons]] but this tends to not work well against [[Improbable Piloting Skills|skillful evasive maneuvers]] combined with a [[Fragile Speedster|lightweight build]]. The best answer to the [[Fragile Speedster|lightweight build]] tends to be [[Macross Missile Massacre|missiles]].
* [[Tank Goodness]] - Even if the player doesn't use a tank type AC, at least a couple opponents certainly will.
* [[Title Drop]] - Partial. In ''For Answer'', Ending A, Kasumi Sumika/Serene Haze addresses the player, referring to their choices and decision to {{spoiler|let humanity live in the Cradles}} as the "Answer".
