Clear Steps

Survive 6 turns:

There is a TON of RNG with this as Alert AI is random tiebreakers if distance in nodes is equal.

I recommend just killing the boss if you have the tools to do so, but just sacrificing a few dummies and baiting the boss backwards also works perfectly fine.
Remember to have at least 2 echelons on the field past turn 3 so that it doesn't matter if one of them gets rammed.

Killing boss:

This map can be cleared incredibly easily if you have the right tools for it.

Said tools are:
Suomod (mod2 required)
Sniper Fairy (sl10)
G11 OR SCAR twins
Shield sources such as P22, MPL etc highly recommended.

Alchemist also works if you give her the Defend chip and let Baba attack into you. As Baba only has normal attacks Alchemist will survive perfectly fine with her infinite shields and evasion.

G11 is a lot weaker than SCAR twins, and I recommend using LTLX together with her to make the tanks last longer. G11 also needs to be escorted past the Cerynitis team, I just used a generic Scarecrow echelon with Phantom Step for this.

Another option is using G36c's extended immunity, though I still highly recommend using Suomi here as well, but with Ribey mod and some strong ARs this also works perfectly fine.

Also make sure to clear the middle row at the start of combat to avoid getting wheelchair'd.
