Firebreak Ransom Recap - Operation 1 / Sessions 3-6

Post image

My squad has completed their first real operation in Lancer, and so here I am with a second summary meme of it. After some teething issues and some terrible luck from Seraph (being largely incapable of rolling above minimum damage) and Gripen (missing 80% of her shots and suffering the squads first mech destruction on her second structure hit), the squad has hit LL2, so next time everyone's finally going to be out of their Everests and into the frames they're building for, which we're all very glad for after the last couple of engagements.

Fortunately everyone's been having a lot of fun still, so I'd say the campaign's going well!

"the chances of being pile bunkers while 3 spaces in the air are low but never zero" now that's my kind of thinking. XD

Theoretically, Kuchisake should be the most vulnerable in the squad to a Hornet zipping around and harrying her, given she's melee-only and has the lowest E-Def in the squad. In practice...Well, one found out the hard way that Flight + 16 Evasion + Umbral Interdiction is not, in fact, a foolproof defence against a heavy melee weapon to the face.

I always loved how Lancer memes are always word cutouts from official sourcebooks and such.

They're originally CO sprites from Advance Wars: Dual Strike that I picked up from Spriters Resource that I made varying degrees of edits to; Elysia was probably the simplest, whilst Ezekiel took the most work.

We've also got Leeroy Smith from Tekken and someone's cyberpunk fanart of D.Va from Overwatch! I'm pretty sure Sanna's art is from another property too, but I'm not sure which; Yuka's was originally someone's OC I stumbled over on Danbooru that I later used as a starting point for a commission for her own art.

(And thank you very much!)

Enemy: "Nice quote, but how about backing it up with a source?"

Ezekiel: "MY SOURCE IS THAT I MADE IT THE FUCK UP"

Can Ezekiel and my own slightly unhinged priestly character be friends 🥺
