'''Step 3c: Successfully Protect your Landbase during an enemy Air Raid (Achive AS)'''

'''Recommended LBAS'''

*'''LBAS 1:''' 2-4 Interceptorts, 1-2 Rocket Interceptors or 1 Saiun

*'''LBAS 2:''' 2-4 Interceptorts, 1-2 Rocket Interceptors or 1 Saiun

*'''For maximum air defense against high-altitude bombers, you'll need 3 rocket interceptors'''

*'''For medium and hard mode only'''

This step can be done at any time during or after Steps 3a and 3b. To be able to get AS you will need most of the stronger incerceptors or well modified interceptors in your land base and if you obtained rocket interceptors from the last event, you can use those to improve your AA vs. the Abyssal Sky Fortresses to make AA more achiveable. You should only need 1-2 minimum.

If for some reason you do not have your rocket interceptors, you can resort to Saiuns to help edge your land base's AA performance torwards reaching AS. Although on hard mode, the only way to achive AS if you lack in rocket interceptors is to hope you can reach 512+ Air power and replay the map until you roll the 3 Airfeild Princess composition on hard to see if you can get AS, it's also important to remember your air power will be cut in half without rocket interceptors. So if you for some reasons cannot achive 512 Air power, you will need to consider '''dropping in difficulty''' unless you want to gamble on trying to defeat the [[Batavia Princess]] without debuffing her which is '''not recommended'''

On Medium difficulty, AS should be achiveable with all interceptors / fighters in your land base with at least 188 Air power.
