Covering the Cadets

In Memorial Square, defeat Imperial Troopers and an enemy commander piloting a Striker/Warrior.

Proceed east to Meroe Midtown (1), defeating Troopers and Strikers behind barriers. Take the east exit.

In Meroe Midtown (2), defeat an Imperial Trooper, a respawning Warrior, and a respawning Prometheus.

In Town Square, ignore the Special Order (SO) to cover cadets unless solo. Defeat the enemy commander piloting a Nymurod and additional Troopers. The cadet must defeat three Troopers for the SO. Return to the previous room and head north.

In Meroe Midtown (3), complete the SO to take out three Troopers on high ground within 1:00 for a 0:30 Freecast buff and an Auric Ring. Defeat respawning Warrior and Striker units.

In Firebird Square, defeat Imperial Troopers and an enemy commander in a small mech. A Warrior unit may appear later. Head north.

In Kayahara Square, defeat Troopers and Warrior/Striker units. One soldier and mech respawn infinitely. Go east.

In Dominion Square, defeat an enemy commander piloting a Nymurod and infinite-spawning Imperial Troopers. A cadet will be present but requires no action. Go west, south, and west again.

In Meroe Midtown (4), defeat a finite amount of Prometheus, Warriors, and Troopers. Continue west.

In Meroe Midtown (5), defeat endless spawns of enemies until ready to proceed north.

In Rubrum Square, defeat a Nymurod enemy commander and endless Troopers. Wait for new orders.

You will restart at the beginning with three bomb markers. Go north, then west to City Center (1).

In City Center (1), complete the SO to use Datalink to diffuse the bomb within 5:00 for a 0:30 Endure buff and a Megalixir. Stay within the disarming ring, defeating enemies to prevent interruption.

The next bomb is three areas east in City Center (2). Diffuse it similarly.

Proceed north, west, and then north twice to City Center (3) for the third bomb. Defeat Imperial Troopers and Shock Troopers, watching for an enemy on the other side of a wall.

In Lupinus Park, defeat Supersoldiers and Imperial Troopers, some on balconies. Defeat the enemy commander to finish the mission.
