Land-Based Air Squadron

Air Raids

In nodes where you can use land base air squadron, you will receive air raids from the enemy that can attack and damage your planes.

A battle will look like this

After a battle, you will receive one of three messages depending on how much damage was inflicted by the enemy.
The white message will display when no damage is taken by your base.
The orange message will display when some damage is taken by your base, and slight amount of resources will be lost.
The red message indicates the abyssals have damaged your base. This will result in a loss of resources, plane proficiency, and morale.

• 

  Indicating that an enemy air raid is en route.

• 

  Indicating that only minor damages were incurred

• 

  You successfully defended against the enemy raid. Only can happen when your land base take ZERO damage. (This was tested with double air defense and wouldn't be recommended to try when clearing the boss. Especially if it's an installation type)

Restrictions and Gaining Access to Land Based Air Squadrons for Normal Maps

6-4 and 6-5 offers a chance for players to gain access to Land Based air Squadrons for the normal maps of the game. However, unlike event maps, gaining access to Land Based Air Squadrons requires you to gain a hold of an unique item called a Construction Crew

A construction crew allows for you to build one Land Based which will allow you to use one Land Based Air Sqaudron. You can have up to a total of 2 Land Based Air Squadrons for the normal maps in the game. In order to obtain a construction crew, you can earn them one of two possible ways:

1. Complete Quests in required to gain a Construction Crew. (B80 and B81)
2. Purchase a construction crew via the premium shop for 800yen.

Upon acquiring a construction crew, you will need to complete the "Begin Preparation for the "Land Base Air Squadron" Quest (F43) in order to gain access to your Land Based Air Squadron. Currently you can have up to a total of three Land Bases. Meaning you can assemble up to three LBAS squadrons.

To expand the Land bases, you will need to get a Construction Crew and then go to your LBAS menu where you can select a one of the other Land Base Air Sqaudron that is currently locked away. Once selected, you will be given a prompt to choose to use your construction crew to build a Land base or not. If you choose build one, you will gain access to another Land Base Air Sqaudron to use.

6-4 and 6-5 will offer the usage of Land Based Air Squadrons, but will have restrictions placed upon them as noted on the LBAS icon placed on the map. The following information regarding LBAS restrictions on normal maps applies to the following maps:

• 6-4 will only allow the useage of 1 Land Based Air Squadron for battle
• 6-5 will only allow the useage of 2 Land Based Air Squadron for battle

Any extra land base air squadrons can be set to perform Air Defense where it may apply, in this case 6-5 which can have air raids happen.
