LTQ - The Boomerang Effect - Detailed Walkthrough

[pelle plutt]

Guys, - No Boost Units

fun fact: I received 6 grunts doing these as we are apparently completing a lot of the mission... The Gree takes it away, and then gives it back =)

Thanks to: Speed Deamon #2 and NJPRO

Not looking too pretty.....beating normal 20 gives you a 100/700-ish unit. No bonuses confirmed to level 13 normal

[FromAfar]

did i see this thing giving out allies? hmmm... cant go over 500, iirc, gree even removed the grunts, and is now giving them back?

or did the graphic with the allie picture in it mean something else?

[Paul Wall]

Pelle, you're awesome!

"Mafia" rewards were for completing the map level that you finished up. Not sure how that will affect the ally count tho.

Got the same thing on mine and it was for completing the map but does not increase your ally count.

[TripSD]

Thanks Pelle I was getting worried that u gave up on these things.

[Everson25]

I dont know what most think but It looks it takes way more energy to complete just normal mode which is not giving even good units at the moment. I was aiming to complete normal mode tonight but I will give a break just to get some more information. Good luck you all!

[Gambit12]

20/20 Normal mode RAAF Mirage, Air, (1036/960)

Screenshot for this unit please, thank you..

[TIMB0]

Is this the first time they've used non-indestructibles as unit rewards in LTQ (as we see on stage 13/30)? I don't remember this happening before...

[G mack]

this ltq is bad, they have been getting progressively worse, but this one is awful unless prestige has lots of great units.

[BoilerPaulie]

Is this the first time they've used non-indestructibles as unit rewards in LTQ (as we see on stage 13/30)? I don't remember this happening before...

Yes I think that's correct. What a stupid waste. I'm debating whether I should even bother to complete normal on this one.
