Introduction --If you're reading this FAQ, I'm assuming you already know what Gadget Trial is. As a tactical game akin to the likes of Advance Wars and Final Fantasy Tactics, the backbone of this game is the differences in units. I made this FAQ to allow easy access to all the available data. --- .2. Contact and Copyright Info --You can try contacting me at Delta_Angelfire at hotmail (with @ and .com of course), but it'll go straight to junk mail and probably get deleted. Since there is so little information about this game online to begin with, I give permission for any site to reproduce this FAQ, in its entirety or with updated information, as long as they add my name to the credits. --- .3. Damage Chart --Damage in Gadget Trial is determined using the following formula: Damage = ((Base Damage + Suit mods)*Veterancy mods)*Terrain Defense Counter Attacks deal half damage (Advance Wars players: notice that HP does NOT affect damage) =Base Damage Chart= D| I | H | M | S | T | A | A | R | A | F | B | C | S | B | L | e| n | | e | c | a | P | r | o | n | i | o | o | u | . | a | f| f | I | d | o | n | C | t | c | t | g | m | p | b | S | n | e| a | n | i | u | k | | y | k | i | h | b | t | | h | d | n| n | f | c | t | | | | e | | t | e | e | | i | e | d| t | | | | | | | t | A | e | r | r | | p | r | e| r | | | | | | | | i | r | | | | | | Attacker r| y | | | | | | | | r | | | | | | | -----------------------------------------------------------------------Infantry | 50| 40| 60| 10| 10| 10| 20| 20| 20| - | - | - | - | - | 10| ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attack UP - increase the base damage this unit deals by +20 Attack DOWN - decrease the base damage this unit deals by -20 Counterattack DOWN - decrease the base damage this unit deals by -20, but only when this unit is counter attacking. Defense UP - when attacked, reduce the base damage of the attacking unit by -20 Defense DOWN - when attacked, increase the base damage of the attacking unit by +20 =Veterancy= For every 5 kills a unit 1 large star (5 kills) 2 large stars (10 kills) 3 large stars (15 kills) obtains, it gains a firepower boost. %130 damage - %160 damage - %190 damage

Veterancy levels also decrease damage taken by an unknown amount =Terrain Defense= Every terrain has a DEF number. Multiply the damage dealt to the defending unit by (100-DEF)/100. Therefore 5 = 95% damage taken 10 = 90% damage taken 20 = 80% damage taken 30 = 70% damage taken 40 = 60% damage taken 60 = 40% damage taken --- .4. Unit Movement ---

Each unit has a movement speed (usually a multiple of 10). Every square of terrain has different costs for different units according to the following table. "Facilities" includes HQs, Cities, Factories, Airports, and both kinds of Satellite Bases, but NOT Harbors. "Mobility" is a unit's movement speed which may be increases by the following Suit modifiersMobility UP - Multiply mobility by 1.3 Mobility DOWN - Multiply mobility by 0.7 T| M | | R | F | H | P | F | S | H | M | B | S | R | M | e| o | | o | a | a | l | o | w | o | o | e | e | i | t | r| b | | a | c | r | a | r | a | l | u | a | a | v | | r| i | | d | i | b | i | e | m | e | n | c | | e | R | a| l | | | l | o | n | s | p | | t | h | | r | a | i| i | | | i | r | | t | | | a | | | | n | n| t | | | t | | | | | | i | | | | g | Unit | y | | | y | | | | | | n | | | | e | -------------------------------------------------------------------Infantry | 40| - | 10| 10| 10| 10| 15| 20| 15| 25| 10| - | - | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------H Inf | 30| - | 10| 10| 10| 10| 15| 20| 15| 25| 10| - | - | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------Medic | 40| - | 10| 10| 10| 10| 15| 20| 15| 25| 10| - | - | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------Scout | 90| - | 10| 10| 10| 15| 15| 20| - | - | 15| - | - | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------Tank | 70| - | 10| 10| 10| 15| 20| 20| - | - | 15| - | - | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------APC | 80| - | 10| 10| 10| 15| 15| 20| - | - | 15| - | - | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------Artillery | 50| - | 10| 10| 10| 15| 15| 20| - | - | 15| - | - | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------Rockets | 50| - | 10| 10| 10| 15| 15| 20| - | - | 15| - | - | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------Anti Air | 50| - | 10| 10| 10| 15| 15| 20| - | - | 15| - | - | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------Fighter |110| - | 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| - | -------------------------------------------------------------------Bomber |100| - | 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| - | -------------------------------------------------------------------Copter | 80| - | 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| 10| - | -------------------------------------------------------------------Sub | 70| - | - | - | 10| - | - | - | - | - | - | 10| - | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------Battleship | 70| - | - | - | 10| - | - | - | - | - | - | 10| - | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------Lander | 80| - | - | - | 10| - | - | - | - | - | 10| 10| - | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------Other Terrain stats Defense indicates how much less damage a unit takes Camo indicates how close a unit must be to dispel fog of war T| e| r| r| a| i| R o a d | | | | | | F a c i l i | | | | | | H a r b o r | | | | | | P l a i n | | | | | | F o r e s t | | | | | | S w a m p | | | | | | H o l e | | | | | | M o u n t a | | | | | | B e a c h | S | R | M | | e | i | t | | a | v | | | | e | R | | | r | a | | | | n |

Unit Analysis --=Unit Name= - Self Explanatory Cost - how much this unit costs to build. AT - The units AT gauge. All units deplete at at an equal rate. When the AT gauge reaches 0, it is that unit's turn. The lower, the better. Every time a unit is attacked, its AT gauge is increased by 20, delaying its turn. If a unit selects the "wait" command on its turn without moving or attacking, its AT gauge is only reset to half, so it's next turn will come sooner. EG - Energy. Every time the unit activates, this number is reduced by 1. when it reaches 0, the unit self-destructs. Note that, because "waiting" gives a unit more activations, doing nothing will actually drain your energy more quickly than attaking! Range - Attack Range of Indirect Fire units Carry - Some units have the ability to take other units along for the ride. At the end of their move, they can use their action to unload all the units they have aboard into adjacent spaces. Move - How far the unit can move in a turn Sight - Sight dispels fog of war in an area around the unit. FoW is dispelled if the terrain tile in question has a Distance + Camo rating less than the unit's sight rating. Suits - Each unit has two suits which you can purchase later in the game. This section details how the unit's stats are affected by each. Analysis - My own personal view of the unit's value and optimum configuration. ==Izen Units== Izen is the base for all your foot soldiers. Her units are cheap and the only ones that can capture facilities and can be transported by helicopter. =Infantry= Cost - 50 AT - 100 EG - 30 Move - 40 Sight - 4 Suits Uniform - Cost *0.7, Counter attack base damage -20 Commando - Base damage +20, Cost *1.3 Analysis The Infantry is of course the grunt of any good armed force. It is one of only three units able to capture properties and has the shortest unmodified AT gauge. It is incredibly cheap, and both suits are quite good, either one is a fine replacement for the basic outfit. The Uniform allows a horde of exceptionally cost efficient meat shields since the counter attack damage for an infantry is generally negligable anyway, and the Commando outfit ups all the pathetic 10 damage matchups infantry has into decent 30 damage ones. Go with your personal choice here. =Heavy Infantry=

Cost - 100 AT - 110 EG - 30 Move - 30 Sight - 4 Suits Bloomer - Move *1.3, Damage received +20 Punk - Base damage +20, Cost *1.3 Analysis The Heavy Infantry is slower, but deals more damage than standard infantry (even one with the comando suit equipped). Once again, both suits are superior to the base unit, but the Punk outfit is probably better. Even though your units will cost more, it ups the several 40 damage matchups into respectable 60 damage ones, allowing Two-Hit KOs even with light terrain defense. This coupled with the Heavy Infantry's ability to capture makes it a decent allaround unit. =Medic= Cost - 200 AT - 100 EG - 30 Move - 40 Sight - 4 Suits Camouflage - Damage received -20, Cost *1.3 Nurse - Move *1.3, Cost *1.3 Analysis The Medic is an invaluable unit in any and every army, its sheer usefullness keeps it from ever becoming obsolete, and is an excellent replacement for the standard infantry even with the cost difference. The Medic gives its ability to fight for two even better commands - Heal and Charge. Heal restores the health of an adjacent unit by 3hp although it also increases it's AT timer by 20. Charge reduces an adjacent unit's AT gauge by half, allowing it to move sooner. Charge makes any number of high AT units infinitely more useful, and Heal lets you capture facilities and still support your front line units at the same time. Camouflage makes the Medic far less vulnerable since it takes 110 damage from many units, but they shouldn't be on the front lines (or on a terrain with less than a 10 defense rating) anyway. Nurse is my outfit of choice, upping Izen's movement to 52, and is the highest any foot unit can obtain. ==Nei Units== Nei is in charge of land-vehicle units. They are speedy and do good damage, but are eventually made obsolete by Souka's air units. =Tank= Cost - 600 AT - 120 EG - 20 Move - 70 Sight - 4 Suits Western - AT Gauge *0.7, Cost *1.3 Yeager - Base damage +20, Damage received -20, Cost *1.3, Move *0.7 Analysis Nei's tank is, of course, your ground based combat powerhouse. Good damage, good movement, and decent cost. She'll be your main damage dealer, but will become pretty much obsolete once you get air units. Her high AT gauge also makes it vulnerable to infantry and mechs that can defeat it by surrounding

and attacking it (since every attack increases the enemies AT gauge again by 20, making it take longer for it's turn to come around again). Yeager makes the Tank into a decent shield for a chokepoint, but the penalty to mobility drops it to 49 - 1 point short of 5 spaces of movement on road, essentially making it no faster than infantry. The Western outfit is probably your best choice since it drops Nei's AT gauge to 84, giving her a far greater ability to get arond the battle field, and often allowing her two attack strikes before her opponent even gets one. =Scout= Cost - 300 AT - 120 EG - 20 Move - 90 Sight - 6 Suits Uniform - Cost *0.7, Damage received +20 Ninja - Sight +1, Damage recieved +20 Analysis The scout is a cheap unit with decent speed, a good detection radius, and a good defense against infantry units. Like its name implies, it will be your main scouting unit on land-only maps, however, it is outclassed in both speed and scouting, and combat ability by Souka's Fighter and to a lesser extent, the Helicopter. Both suits are decent if you want your Scouts focusing on reconaissance rather than combat. If you're looking for semi-durable meatshields though, her basic outfit is probably best, giving her some measure of resistance to Bomber and Bship attacks. =APC= Cost - 300 AT - 120 EG - 20 Move - 80 Carry - 3 infantry Sight - 5 Suits Leather - Move *1.3, Damage received +20 Chinese - Cost *0.7, Damage recieved +20 AnalysisThe APC can carry your infantry, gettign them where you want them faster. Can be useful on ground based maps with lots of roads and a high number of bases far about from each other (for Heavy Infantry spamming). However, these kinds of maps are rare. Their increased move cost across plains generally make a Nurse suit Medics a better choice in the long run. Either suit is also good, though her leather suit may be best, boosting her movement to 104, making her almost as fast as most air units. However, no matter what you give her, she is still strictly inferior to Souka's Transport Helicopters. ==Yu-ri Units== Yu-ri takes care of all the land-based ranged fire units. While useful in some situations, her units are unfortunately far too slow to be a staple in your army, even with support from Medics. =Artillery= Cost - 400 AT - 130 EG - 25

Move - 50 Range - 2-4 Sight - 5 Suits Waitress - AT *0.7, Cost *1.3, Damage received +20 Kimono - Damage received -20, Cost *1.3 Analysis Yu-ri's basic artillery does similar damage to a Tank, but her high AT and lower defense makes spamming them impractical, and even just using them for support is fairly inefficient. May have some use on maps that lack air and require Landers for travel, lessening the impact of her poor movement stat. If you're relying on Artillery, both suit choices are better than her basic outfit, even with the increased cost. The Waitress suit will make turn you artillery into decent general units by reducing her AT gauge to a useful 91. The Kimono will give you some decent damage resistance against everything, even significantly against tanks, but is only useful on ground-only maps, allowing you to spam Artillery for attack and defending them with more artillery on front. The high AT however, will still hurt your total damage output. =Rockets= Cost - 500 AT - 130 EG - 25 Move - 50 Range - 3-6 Sight - 5 Suits Uniform - Cost *0.7, Base damage -20 Worker - Max range +1, Cost *1.3 Analysis While the extra range is nice, the only really significant difference between Yu-ri's Atillery and Rockets is the ability to One-Hit KO infantry on roads. Yu'ri's Rocket outfits however, are not nearly as good as her already mediocre Artillery suits. Lower cost is usually good, but the lowered damage in addition to the lowered attack and no change to AT make her pretty useless. Her worker outfit would prpbably be the best choice since you probably won't be building any new rockets anyway, in order to take full advantage of any Rocket units that come pre-deployed. =Anti Air= Cost - 400 AT - 130 EG - 25 Move - 50 Range - 2-4 Sight - 5 Suits Frilled - Max Range +1, Cost *1.3 Choir - Move *1.3, Cost *1.3 Analysis Yu-ri's AA would be far more useful if it weren't for one flaw: Air units get terrain defense. This one thing turns a potentially useful unit into a hopelessly irrelevant one. Without a damage boost suit, or a map with nothing but roads and beaches, Yu-ri's AA will never score a OHKO. Add this on top of her other general flaws like her highest AT in the game, and you have a completely dead weight unit. If you're fighting air anyway, you should be fighting back with Fighters of your own. Neither of Yu-ri's AA suits address the issues of her damage or AT. As a

result of this, there is pretty much no reason to ever build AA units. In this case, the Frilled suit is probably your best choice to take what little advantage you can of any pre-deployed AA units you may have. ==Souka Units== Souka is in charge of all air units, the most useful units in the game. Even though her units have a low fuel capacity, their unrivaled speed and usefulness make her a dominating force on any battlefield. The fact that airports can only build air units leaves you no excuse NOT to build them, since not only will you be able to produce units superior to any land unit, but you're also not using up factory slots that could be used for building more footsoldier units for capturing. =Bomber= Cost - 800 AT - 130 EG - 10 Move - 100 Sight - 4 Suits Maid - Base damage +20, Cost *1.3 Warm - Damage received -20, Cost *1.3 Analysis Once you get Bombers, they will become your mainstay attacker pretty much forever. Incredible damage against every significant ground unit will get devestate any enemy forces your opponent you may have, and give you almost all your kills with a little ground support from either Scouts or Commando suit Infantry. Even with a high AT and low EG, her damage output is just so high that she will always be useful, and her high move with no terrrain penalties makes it easy to get back to cities to refuel and still be ready to attack next turn. There is no choice here, your Bombers should ALWAYS be in Maid outfits, no exceptions. even with the added cost bringing the bomber up to 1040, the ability to OHKO every ground unit on PLAINS and most of them even on wasteland makes breaking enemy lines a piece of cake even without ground support for mop-up. =Fighter= Cost - 700 AT - 110 EG - 10 Move - 110 Sight - 8 Suits Uniform - Cost *0.7, Counter attack base damage -20 Bunny - Move *1.3, Cost *1.3 Analysis The fighter can only attack other air units. It does this job quite well, but what puts the Fighter over the top is it's unrivavled Sight radius and the fact it can only be attacked by AA and other Fighters. This makes it an incredible blocking unit for protecting ground forces, blocking choke points, and occupying empty enemy bases. Once again, for me there's only one choice here for Souka's outfit, and that's her Uniform. This drops her cost to 490, from significant cost to fairly cheap, even less than tanks. The penalty to counterattacks only applies to enemy fighters anyway, dropping you from 30 counter damage to 20. Since you can't KO an enemy fighter with a Counter Attack - Attack combo anyway, this difference is completely insignificant when you can have three fighters to your enemy's two.

=Helicopter= Cost - 300 AT - 120 EG - 10 Move - 80 Carry - 3 infantry Sight - 5 Suits Pilot - Move *1.3, Carry capacity 1 Waitress - Cost *0.7, Damage reveiced +20 AnalysisRounding out the power trio is the Transport Helicopter. Her strengths are endless. Land unit comparable AT, High movement with no terrain penalty, Excellent cost, Infantry transport capabilities, and air defense. The ability to attack all ground units and not be coutnered against makes it the ideal harassing unit (increasing enemy AT gauges). It can get Infantry to the front lines faster and more reliably than any other transport. It can defend choke points and empty enemy bases just as well as a fighter. Again, the're only one choice here, and that's the Waitress suit. Dropping the carry capacity from 3 to 1 is foolish to just bring the speed up to Fighter level. Dropping the cost from an already cheap 300 to a bargain basement 210 though is incredible. Your helicopters become slightly more vulnerable, but they'll still survive hovering over forests or cities if you're careful, and they can still carry three medics to heal them back up if need be. ==Hisoka Units== =Battle Ship= Cost - 1000 AT - 130 EG - 15 Move - 70 Range - 3-8 Sight - 6 Suits Uniform - Cost *0.7, Damage received +20 Goth-Loli - AT *0.7, Base damage -20 Analysis The Battle ship is comparable in attack strength to the bomber, but falls just a little short in almost every other regard. It has great damage, but falls just short of incredible with no 110 or greater matchups, even with outfits. It's high AT, while the same as a Bomber, hurts it more because of it's lack of those important OHKO matchups. Could be invaluable in maps with separation by Mountain ranges due to it's long range, but such maps are rare. Both suits are good and better than the basic outfit, but the Uniform is probably the best option. Even against a Submarine, that 20 extra damage will not sink it in one hit, and the cost reduction to 700 is very significant. Unfortunately, the versatility and power of Maid outfit Bombers make Bships obsolete in most situations. =Attack Sub= Cost - 600 AT - 120 EG - 15 Move - 70 Sight - 4 Suits Swimsuit - Sight +1, Damage received +20

Diving - Move *0.7, Damage recieved -20 Analysis The Attack Sub is obviously an anti-sea unit, since those are the only units it can attack. as a slight advantage, it can also only be atacked by other Subs and also Bombers. It can take out a Battleship in two shots, but the unit that will be causing more trouble for you will more likely be Bombers. Subs are still decent however, since they can kill an enemy Lander with a little support from any other unit, and deal more damage to that rare Battleship than a Bomber can. For the Sub, contrary to most other units, both suits are actually pretty bad. The extra sight can be nice on large Sea, no Air maps, but the lowered defense means that you will lose every one-on-one Sub match-up. The diving suit could make a decent Naval Blockade unit if you needed to spam them for some reason, but the movement penalty drops the Hisoka's movement to 49, one point short of 5 spaces of sea movemnt. 7 move to 4 move is a terrible trade off. Stick with the Basic outfit. =Landing Craft= Cost - 300 AT - 110 EG - 15 Move - 80 Carry - 3 infantry or vehicles Sight - 4 Suits Marine - Move *1.3, Carry capacity 1 Navy - Damage received -20, Cost *1.3 Analysis The Lander is somewhat useful in the fact that it is the only unit capable of carrying vehicle units to other islands. In maps with Air however, air units are strictly superior to any land based units you could ferry besides infantry, and the helicopter is a better choice for that. As the importance of land vehicles increases, so does the usefulness of the lander. This combined with the Lander's low damage output makes it a purely situational unit. Once again, both suits are inferior to the Basic outfit. Extra move at the cost of 2 transport slots makes an already situational unit even more situational. The raised defense is also insignificant unless Landers are the only available naval unit for building, otherwise the increased cost just isn't justified. --- .6. Summmary --Air units are the best units, both in versatility and power. They should of course be supported by medics and possibly a few infantry/heavy infantry for capturing. On maps without Air, your best damage dealers will be Battleships, Tanks, and to a lesser extent Artillery especially with AT reduction gear. --- .7.
