Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love/Episode 8

Sakura Skyscrapers

This is the toughest challenge of your life. The final sections really deals with death and destruction.

Aran in Danger!
You're job is to protect the engines and the manhole. Don't bother using supermoves on the sides in the air unless you're in danger. Get Subaru due to her wide range attack to do normal, joint and supermoves attacks to help protect the manhole. Do your best to take down the air bombs and keep your crew defence up so they last long enough before one or more crew has ended their duty. Stick to joint attacks in the air and remember to bring one or more of your crew into repair.

Be really mindful for every one crew is lost, their abilities may plummet gradually so do your best to protect them all the way to the grand finale.

Special tip: If you're up to this point on your second or more walkthrough, you should have ten medals by now in order to get the Supernova attack. The Supernova attack is having you and all girls use a devastating powerful attack which wipes everyone off the area! It will save you huge amounts of time and will no longer worry about your crew dying.

Be forewarned that your only allowed to use the Supernova in this episode. Even if you transfer battle data to your new game, you might have to start all over again. If you chose Ratchet as your girl, your supernova might be replaced later in the episode. Last of all, you only get the highest level here. You'll go back to level nine when you start a new game.

If you're curious, Mr Sunnyside and his remaining team storms the Statue of Liberty to use the rockets to delay the 6th Heaven from reaching the Earth. There's a surprise for you!

Travelling to the coffin
It's pretty much a simple task with deadly danger. You have to bring your crew to the coffin at the other end and destroy it. Make sure to destroy the generators so the robot minions won't hurt your chances even further. Keep your defence up as much as you can because of the cannons as they may target and fire at your crew.

Director's Cut

If your playing Ratchet's ending, you get an extra scene for you to perform. You have to defeat the remaining robot minions with Ratchet's STAR once more. You can control her but cannot use Supermoves and Joint Attacks. Perhaps the only time of doing so. Also, your supermove is permanently replace with Ratchet's coupling so you might have a great advantage for the remainder of the finale.

Star Division face its darkest fears
You meet Nobunaga the first time but he uses his magic to take away your friends, making you give up hope. The girls your using for this moment will face the fears they need to overcome. So follow this task: taking down your ultimate mirror foe. With Diana, keep her defence and heal up and it will save you from trouble. Next its using joint attacks, supermoves and regular moves on Dark Shinjiro.

If done right, you'll be able to use Shinjiro in the final battle. Do your joint attacks and to take down enemies from left and right with the hands before taking down Dark Shinjiro as he foreshadows how tough Nobunaga is.

Final flying battle with the golden mask
This would be tough if you can't keep your crew alive against Tenkafubu. Always keep healing and defence up for this one. Take down the first four horns at the top to get a head starts. Also take down the tail and the two horns at the bottom. Then take down the four arms in the middle before taking on the head to end the boss fight for this one.

Nobunaga 6th Heaven Last Stand
Nobunaga hasn't admit defeat yet. So this is the last battle using your STAR. He'll change to Overlord Nobunaga to crush you with his devastating superpowers and if you see the circles, move out of the way! Make sure you get the right distance to do team attacks and by chance, use your supermoves. It will take very long to beat but eventually you'll succeed. Be sure to give all you got as this is the ending you've been waiting for.

The Last Goodbye
Eventually, you allow Nobunaga to be apart of you after his monster version has been defeated. Because of that you have free time to say goodbye to everyone before returning to your apartment. This marks the end credits. The good news is you get an extra chapter to review what you unlocked so far and for your second play through, you'll also be glad to save your battle experiences so the next time you play, you'll have less trouble taking down enemies that has given you a hard time the first time you play but it only applies to you. Your crew will not be affected so remember to suck up to them if you want any easy battle to play through.
