Favorite CO (or team of COs)

I'm surprised there isn't already a thread like this. Simply state your favorite CO (or team of COs in case of tag battles) and say why you like them so much. Mine are as follows:

Colin/Sasha
They basically PWN everything with the right skills equipped. However, some people accused me of cheating so I have started using another team (see below).

Jugger/Flak
The randomness! Also Jugger says the coolest things. (Blue screen of death!)

Hawke and drake. Using both the CO powers will pretty much kill there team. Also, Hawke and Andy.

re: Favorite CO (or team of COs)

My favorite team for a tag attack is grimm/jake (jake first). Jake gets the tanks really close and maybe pulls off a couple of weakening attacks, at the same time getting 2-3 rockets wicked close. Then grimm goes and barrages with rockets, followed up with a take-down tank blasting. You could do the same thing for max/jake, but you would need to remember that max's indirect attack units are weaker and have less range. Accounting for that would be obnoxious.

Jake/Jess would also work if you have bunches and bunches of tanks, where Jake would close in/attack and then Jess would finish off. Then when it is your opponent's turn jess is still out, amplifying her tank's defense (I think).

___/Javier would work as a tag too, especially if you have a couple com towers and Javier is at level 2+ and has com power equipped. That way the first person could get their attack in, then Javier would be the strong defense to fend off an opponent's counterstrike. Actually, a Max/Javier or Grimm/Javier combo would probably work fairly well.

(if you couldn't tell, I'm only at mission 17... a long ways to go)

Jake is my fave CO because he has a killer riff for his BGM. Rawk!! And teamed up with Rachel he is unstoppable. Chica may have an extremely annoying BGM, but her Superpower is better than Sturm's.

re: Favorite CO (or team of COs)

OK, changed my mind. Jake/Jess is probably my favorite, since tanks are good. Second is Jess/Javier (if you have 2+ com towers and tower power equipped to Javier and the tag CO def+10% equipped on Jess, you will not take damage from anything with Javier's super power). They absolutely rock the first com tower mission (OS in the top left, BM in the bottom right, BH starts with 3 com towers and some infantry). I think that's the mission right after you get Sensei/Grimm in normal. Anyway...

Another really good combo is Grimm/Kanbei (grimm w/ production cost -__% equipped to buy stuff, then kanbei to use it!) because they both dish out lots of damage, and kanbei's super power gives him more power on counterattacks. Very nice.

And the last one (for now), Drake/Olaf. I hate Drake's rain, but Olaf's snow is nice. Combined they do 4 dmg to all opponent units, and slash their fuel at the same time. And, if Olaf goes second, the snow falls for 2 days, further diminishing their amount of fuel while powering up Olaf's attacks. That's almost as good a combo as Andy/Hawke, but it doesn't require as much CO power (Hawke needs about 10 stars, I think, and Andy needs 6; Drake needs 6, Olaf needs 7 (I think)). So you can use it quicker.

But my overall favorite CO is Jake. Half because of his personality (constant headphones; ROCK ON), half because his super CO power is awesome. It lets your vehicles move 2 more spaces, and gives your indirect units an extra 1 space to attack (so they're not left out, unlike Jess's super power). Jake is just so well-rounded. And that's a good thing.

EDIT: stupid non-working color tag...

No, just no. Andy's underpriced extremly usefull super power is supposed to make up for him having no weakness and no minor day-to-day strength. Hawke's powers are already overpriced to be a weakness. Drake/Olaf tag is already broken enough without making it faster.

re: Favorite CO (or team of COs)

I'm confused. Are you saying that the Drake/Olaf tag is better, or that the Andy/Hawke tag is better? My opinion of Drake's super power is that it is alright, but really annoying. If you're on a level with fog of war, it is the best super power I've ever seen (2 dmg + 1/2 fuel? Can't be beat!) But if you're on a regular (non-fog) level, the fog-inducing rain is obnoxious (on a fog of war level, you are playing with fog of war the whole time; with rain, you need to adjust your units for that one day of fog... it's just not worth it). Olaf's super power is really good, though. No major complaints or drawbacks for it. Andy's super power doesn't usually help me too much; I pretty much either have my units at near-full HP or they're dead. Because once they get weakened too much I basically hang them out to dry (translation: use them as bait for my full-strength rockets). Then they're gone, and I don't have that one wimpy unit taking up a space that a stronger unit could be occupying. So Andy's super power isn't that advantageous to me. Yeah, you get the huge boost in firepower as well, but that ALONE isn't anything to write home about. Hawke's super power I like, though. The 2 HP heal will bring most (85%) of my units back up to full health, and my opponent takes 2 dmg. That is certainly a good thing. Plus, that 2 damage could mean taking out an annoying neotank, or it sitting on their base to recover 2 more HP and bouncing back with another powerful blast on their turn. It could make a difference (especially against Kindle since she uses bases/cities a lot). Basically, Hawke+Olaf are better than Andy+Drake, so both of those tags pretty much balance out (if you ask me).

re: Favorite CO (or team of COs)

My favourite CO on there own (so far, I haven't played it much) would probably be Sasha (is that spelt right?)

I haven't played it enough to know my fave tag, but Colin / Eagle sounds good. Colin to get loads of things out cheaply, and then switch to Eagle..BOOM.

Colin/Kanbei:Colin buys stuff, Kanbei attacks thanks to his power boost.

Grit/Max: Grit uses inderect units and Max the direct ones.

Colin/Sasha: Yeah, this one should be banned but still...

Eagle/Sami: Capturing HQs in one turn = Awesomeness.

Fave Team so far- Colin and Sasha (why should it be banned!?)

Fave CO- has always been Kanbei

Hmm, am thinking of trying Colin and Kanbei once Yellow Comet show up...

re: Favorite CO (or team of COs)

I take it you're not too far into the game? When you get yellow comet, you only get Grimm + Sensei. Sensei's not bad, but Grimm's not good. When you get even farther in campaign (like after you get Green Earth's Jess + Javier) you get one more CO from each world. Sami, Grit, Sonja, and Eagle, to be exact. The only way to get Kanbei is to beat normal campaign (good luck) and then buy him from Hachi at the shop. And you can't use him in normal campaign. You can use any bought CO or any CO from normal campaign in hard campaign though, so buy up all the ones you can! Kanbei tags a little bit with Javier, so their tag is awesome. Javier goes first and dishes out some preliminary damage, then Kanbei goes and (since he gets an attack/defense/counterattack boost) creams your opponent. After he uses his Super CO Power, it is futile to attack his units unless your 10-HP neotank or

megatank
attacks an infantry/mech. Otherwise you won't do much damage, but will get creamed. E.G.: A 10-HP b copter would do about 2 dmg to an infantry, then would get hit for 7 damage. Those numbers are approximate, but not too far from the truth. Kanbei's super power is one of the best in the game. So yeah, him tagging with anyone is great. A good (but expensive) combo is Kanbei/Hawke. Hawke needs lots of CO power, and Kanbei's units cost a lot (resupplies cost more too, I think...), but their CO powers are so good that it might be worth it. I haven't tried them together, but if anyone else has, speak up! I want to know for myself.
