The final level is a boss fight, with the assisting troops not posing much of a threat at this point. The boss is a submersible drill tank, larger than any other land vehicle by far. This enemy effectively teleports around the map at random and has almost as many guns as you have squadmates. In theory you are supposed to climb on top of it by building ladders on it (huh?) and shooting the radiators with anti-tank lances. The problem is that the hitboxes remain bugged months after release, and sometimes it will just completely ignore a direct critical hit from a lance. At other times, the radiators will all retract (something which is explicitly impossible in-story), preventing you from hitting them. Further still, it will sometimes get bugged into that state forever, making the battle unwinnable. The only redeeming feature is that the whole sequence is So Bad, It's Good, with a derpy invincible teleporting drill submarine tank which is defeated by ladders. This was widely panned by players and the revelation that the best ending was held hostage by a ''second'' instance of this fight was less than kindly regarded.

Not sure what the author meant, but what they said is objectively not true.


* WinBackTheCrowd: Upon the game's announcement, fans were once again reinvested in the series (especially considering the overall lukewarm reception of ''VideoGame/ValkyriaRevolution''), seven long years after a new mainline title has not seen the light of day since the third title.

No Walkthrough Mode examples.


** On the other hand, the right equipment and orders allows players to destroy the Vulcan on the first turn, and since the Vulcan is the only objective for the mission it can become quite trivial to finish it.

%%* SpiritualAdaptation: Would have been Series/BandOfBrothers the game
* GoddamnedBoss: Nikola and Chiara, most times they're encountered, have a lot of abilities that make them extremely annoying to deal with. Having the movement of Scouts lets them easily zip around your lines and pick off weakened soldiers, and like Selvaria in the first game, they're almost guaranteed to dodge shots they can see coming. (And being souped-up Scouts, they have a 270 degree sight radius)

** Minerva in Chapter 5. A lot has been building up to her and Claude finally settling things in a mock battle, and she likes to begin the mission with a very intimidating advance on your main camp, accompanied by the Glory. But in doing this, she tends to leave her base completely unguarded, letting you end the mission easily without having to deal with her.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Amusingly enough that even the SEGA Twitter got in on it, some players have taken to getting so many of their named squad members killed that the [[RedShirt generic troopers]] started gaining popularity, both for being a sort of HarderThanHard approach, and also for the females being surprisingly cute for having HiddenEyes with their helmets.

* {{Tearjerker}}: [[spoiler:Raz's sacrifice. The centurion is caught up in a ragnite powered trap that prevents them from advancing. To escape, they just have to shut down the generator but not only are they heavily guarded, they are also surrounded. Their only shot is a massive snowstorm that will cause a white out thus the solution would be to send a strike team led by Raz to take out the generator, Raz being perfect to carry out the mission. The problem, because of the possiblity of a backup generator, they have absolutely no time to pick up the strike team and must advance without them. In other words, it's a suicide mission. Claude is obviously hesitant to send Raz to his death but Raz insists on it and leads the strike team with one chosen member of your squad (you will also be losing that member as well). While he does take out the generator and the guards watching it, he gets mortally wounded and has one last chat with Claude, Riley and Kai before getting gunned down by reinforcements.]]

* ThatOneLevel: The first map of Chapter 15 requires you to destroy the Ausbruch, the tank of Klaus Walz. Sounds simple enough... except your starting position has you placed in the very center of the map, with not only Ausbruch starting from the south, but also Crymaria starting from the north, thus pitting your units in a disadvantageous situation. It gets worse after Walz executes an order which involves stationing Crymaria on top of the Ausbruch, and she also comes equipped with a special [=AoE=] attack which instantly decimates any unit unlucky enough to get caught up within its range. On top of that, the map has only so many places you are able to deal at least a fair amount of damage to the tank's weak spot, and even then, it can take numerous attacks from anti-tank units to finally destroy it.
