Advance Wars fun facts and trivia🔧

i guess you haven't heard of advance dating by web

definitely my favorite from all the games, my dream game would be aw2 with dual strike features and further balancing

ex machina can be a strong power, but getting it to land where it can do the most damage can be difficult as skilled opponents can bait it away from the front lines with clever positioning

with a com tower, he can reach 120% firepower for 2hkoing enemy tanks on cities with his own, while his opponents can't due to the increased defense
his day-to-day power is so strong on smaller and mixed base maps that he is often banned on them for being too strong

due to having no regular co power, as well as having the longest power bar in the game, von bolt has to rely heavily on his day-to-day powers, which he doesn't really mind, as while +10% firepower and defense is kinda boring, it's also very effective

hello again and welcome to another co showcase, today's topic is von bolt, black hole's old man co

happy pride month to everyone in the advance wars community!
i know there is a good number of lgbtq people among our ranks and i also realize that these are uncertain times for you, but i'll do all in my power to keep this community welcoming and accepting of you

Made this for Pride month two years ago when I was really into Advance Wars

also i just wanted to say that dms (on bluesky) are open for suggestions, not because i'm low on ideas or anything

while his powers are probably the most straightforward of all the global damage cos as he just deals damage and heals his units, no weather to mess with his opponent's movement or vision, it doesn't really matter as weakened units are not really a match for increased firepower

hawke's increased day-to-day firepower, when combined with a com tower, allows him to reach the coveted 120% firepower threshold, for example allowing his tanks/infantry to 2hko enemy tanks/infantry on cities, provided they have no further defense boosts

hello yet again, as it's saturday my duty as a gimmick account owner demands me to bring forth another co showcase, today's topic is hawke, black hole's stoic global damage co

drinking game: take a shot anytime the word "tower" is mentioned

in general javier prefers smaller maps where his day-to-day and co power get to affect the game before his opponents with longer power bars get to use theirs
he is also grit's absolute kryptonite, if you get matched against him as javier you really need to misplay to lose

javier is pretty often considered the t1 comfort pick on maps where von bolt is banned, such as many mixed base maps
he is also sometimes brought down to t2 in large fog maps in an attempt to curb olaf's dominant presence in the tier

power-wise it's generally better to stick with tower shield, as the 130/130 stats it gives for 3 stars is better value than 140/140 for 6 stars from tower of power

additionally, the safer the towers are generally better for him while more contested towers are riskier, as his opponents can try and deny javier the source of his strength, however if you're ballsy enough you can try and grab both of them yourself to essentially win the game

javier's relative strength on a given map depends a lot on the number and location of com towers, on a map without towers he's tier 4 or below, one tower/player he's tier 1 (tier 3 in hf) and 2+ towers/player he's tier 0

hello and welcome to yet another co showcase
today's topic is javier, green earth's eccentric com tower specialist
