Neo Super Robot Wars Mini Tips
for Beginner
"This guide based on my own
experience after two weeks of battles"
Earth Route :
Space Route :
Unit Status
When at battle, pressing X button will reveal unit's brief status. Spirit power value can be found below the level value.
Upgrading units
I don't really advised to upgrade any weapons damage, well except for weapons that have damage under 1000, because it won't effect too much during battle. Weapons damage can be easily manipulated using special power or if the unit have high level. I think it will be more useful if you use the money to upgrade units status like HP, energy level, etc.

Some interesting points
Big Falcon
Big Falcon is Voltes V's base, so it only appear only on some stages. Once a unit stay at Big Falcon's square (up to 4 units), it will automatically repaired when damaged and supplied with energy in each turn. The same also applied when an enemy unit stay on the square.
Defensive Squares
You better land your units on square that have a defensive points, like woods and water. Yes, you must land the unit. The square won't effect if the unit is flying.
Note on water square : When Gaiking submerge, Hydro Blazer's damage is highly decrease. I see this twice, when attacking enemy's unit.
Game Strategy
Personally, I prefer defensive strategy and wait until enemies move closer and attack them at once. I always attack the dangerous unit first, such as fish ship, Sky Lurker, enemy unit with certain enemy character driving it (not the usual enemy pilot). Try to destroy them in one turn, if you can't destroy them all destroy one of them.
Voltes V Team
By joining into a robot you have 2 advantages:
SRX Team
If you combine all three R robots into SRX, you'll have 2 advantages :
The combination only last for about 3-5 turn (maybe depending on Date's level). So use it wisely. Once break out, you can't combine into SRX anymore. SRX robot can't be upgraded, if anyone know how, please tell me.
Mazzinga Z
If Koji's spirit power have reach about 140, Mazzinga can transform into a more powerful robot when you select the MPW option. It still Mazzinga, but all weapons's damage will be doubled and all energy used by the weapons also doubled. Mazzinga with MPW will have an energy crisis, if you fire Breast Fire too much :) .
Daiku Maryu
Daiku Maryu only good in attacking large enemy units like fish ship, Sky Lurker, and enemy robots. It have poor accuracy against small units like Gundam or Layzner's enemies. If Gaiking stay inside Daiku Maryu, it will have some more weapons, including Hydro Blazer and Zauru Gaizer.
Gaiking
Same like Mazzinga Z, Gaiking can open its face by selecting F O option, revealing some more powerful weapons (total three pages of weapons list), when Sanshiro's spirit power reach about 140. However, once opened, Daiku Maryu can't use the dragon head anymore, even if Gaiking landed inside it.
Layzner
V-M option only last for about 4-5 turns. After that Layzner will disable for 1 turn. You can activate V-Max again in the next turn.
Special Powers
" To view these, turn on NJWIN with EUC JIS setting. This kanji probably inacurate, but might give you some idea about the special power because of the similarity."

Some other special powers that I can't read its kanji (too small and complex).
Some powers that are not listed here, because I can't figure it out what it's effect. Anyone can help me with these ?
Also when you finish the last stage, you can save current game, but when you load it you can't go to any stage. I don't see any purpose for doing it (but I did it !!).
