Appendix B4: Marshal Specifics

Specialist Mission Cycle for Marshal rank

Solo Specialist Missions (Marshal Only)

The difficulty of solo specialist missions vary widely according to the mission type the ship is arbitrarily assigned (by the devs) to. This guide tries to give you a rough idea of how difficult the solo specialist mission might be. It's not foolproof as this depends on the mission generator. The mission generator may generate one or just a few unexpectedly difficult wave(s) that day, which is difficult to account for given the random nature of the mission generator.

  • If the ship is marked with L1, the mission is trivial, and is easy to clear.
  • If the ship is marked with L2, the mission is not challenging and requires only basic understanding of the ship, its Aura and Zen to clear it.
  • If the ship is marked with L3, the mission has an average difficulty, so one that is not easy, nor very difficult to clear.
  • If the ship is marked with L4, be prepared for a difficult mission on a mission type that is less than ideal.
    • You may want to try and learn how to use these ships well.
    • These are likely to have a clear rate (based on the leaderboard clears, not the wave difficulty bar chart) of around 5%.
    • These missions are considered near Against All Odds difficulty, which have a clear rate of <3%.
  • If the ship is marked with L5, be prepared for a mission type the ship is probably weak against.
    • Clearing such solo specialist missions will very likely get you an Against All Odds badge .
    • If you desire to collect these badges, clearing these missions is an excellent opportunity.
    • However, be prepared to grind or burn lots of revives . (Generally, I recommend the latter since it saves you real world time.)

The specialist missions for Marshal rank follows the cycle as shown below.

*There is a special laser-heavy mission type that only contains darts, boomerangs , laser MIRVs and lasers (and Doomsday Lasers ), appropriately named Laser/Dart/Boomerang. This was an old mission type that existed before v5.0, but does not currently appear elsewhere. The strategies from the current laser-heavy missions are not very relevant to tackling this unique mission type.

To find out the correct sequence number for the corresponding details of a specific specialist mission, use the formula (Specialist Mission Number) % 200.

  • The % symbol means modulo. This means take the Specialist Mission Number, divide it by 200 and take the remainder as the answer.
  • For example, if the mission number is #3547, then the sequence number is 147. (3547 ÷ 200 = 17 with a remainder of 147)

With the list of all specialist missions and the corresponding ships that appear, you can upgrade these 20 ships to attempt all specialist missions in Marshal quite comfortably.

  • Note that there will be weapon affinity mismatches so you may not always be able to complete some specialist missions.
  • However, you could at least get a decent number of credits by bringing a well upgraded ship into the specialist mission.
  • As you may have already upgraded some ships (either by doing it yourself or through the Warp Gate ), refer to Appendix C for the most economical approach. However, heads-up, as the steps needed for such an approach can be quite technical and cumbersome.
  • Note that there are several solutions, meaning you can choose between upgrading a few different sets of 20 ships to cover all specialist missions quite comfortably. For the sake of convenience, I did my best to select the most suitable set of 20 ships to upgrade based on their survivability ratings.
