Valkyria Chronicles 4: Guide And Walkthrough
In case you have stepped on this game for the first time and are wondering how to play, then this complete strategy guide and walkthrough is going to help you a lot. It will help you to uncover so many strategies, mission tips, rules, and many more.
The first question that’s going to strike your mind anyways is how can you unlock squad stories in Valkyria 4? There are certain hard and fast rules to be kept in mind while playing Valkyria Chronicles 4 Squad Stories.
- Each group can join squad E and unlock their assigned mission if and only if they survive till the end
- In addition to that, one of the members has to upgrade himself to Corporal in order to be competent enough to pass command over others. You can assign someone as a leader if and only if you have stepped into a chapter 8
- If a character has already grabbed a higher position, then in that case that soldier can assist other regular soldiers to upgrade themselves
- Once 20 Rank Points (RP) are earned, your squad can unlock their mission. Each mission may come up with surprises that can allow your characters to discover their unexplored strengths and potential
While dealing with each mission, you must know the tactics and strategy.
Let’s take a simple example to understand how it works-
‘The Prince of Still’ is one of the most striking missions in squad stories. From the very beginning, you can have access to Neige and Aladdin (two characters). But to unlock the chapter ‘The Prince of Still’, Neige and Aladdin have to recruit Leonhardt with them.
Leonardt can only join them from chapter 8 onwards. Before unlocking Leonhardt if you promote either Neige or Aladdin to Corporal then you can never complete their Squad Story.
So, this is how things work. To win a mission, you have to unlock the right soldiers at the right time.
Let’s take a glimpse of what is going to happen when a player earns a significant amount of Rank Points-
- A soldier can upgrade his rank from private to Private First Class if he earns 10 RP
- As soon as the soldier earns 20 RP, you can upgrade that soldier to Corporal
