• Not a bad mission for our first run, just some minor changes and that is about it. The final wave really looks amazing, well done.

• Consider removing the Giant Bonk Scout, this subwave is boring as there are no robots coming out of this subwave – MIKObscura

• Between or before the Trio banner subwave felt a bit too easy, there are currently weak common bots that are unable to push, we do however have a heavy that kept his health in check and ran phlog pyro that annihilate bots. You are free to make any buff if you wish but otherwise, it’s a fine wave.

General
add $1 starting credit

• Mission's general problem is that it favours teams with medic shield, a lot of strong crit hitscan/projectils and ruthless utilization of flank making it impossible to hold front nor to have fun.

• Please do not spawn persians from flank, especially crit ones, they insta kill pretty much everyone besides heavy/sentry and are an unpleasant surprise.

• Drill tank could use bottom path as top path is really not utilizing it gimmick in any way.
  
• See general feedback, a lot of crit stuff that makes flank classes really hard to play.

• While boss is unique and nice, its melee subwave is super weak for its finale, consider changing it or swap it around.

General
added some cool stuff on the upgrade stations and spawn

Wave 1
tank takes the other path since alot of giant attend to stack after 1st subwave

Wave 2
made the persians spawn in bigger pairs of 3 spawncount and changed waitbetweentime on to 3.5 seconds

Wave 3
made the crit scouts take normal spawnbot and non flank spawn
made drill tank take bottom path and nerfed he's health down to 33k

Wave 4
made the phase 5 start when he's at 25k so he can last a bit longer
phase 5 he can now throw axes at you as a flare projectile

I request Package O' Lies to judge the next session for this mission

• B855 (Soldier)
  
• Hell-met (Heavy)
  
• Cargo O’ Truth (Scout)
  
• Braindawg (Demoman)
  
• Sergeant Table (Engineer)

• The utilization of the flank spawns is too much leading players unable to react and leading to their frustrating deaths. I recommend using the main spawn more often or increasing the WaitBetween to be more forgivable for players but doesn’t streamroll at the same time.

• The ending of the Giant Burst Demoman is kinda bit lame ending as the previous subwaves do have uber meds paired on commons, Try adding 2-3 more bigheal medics to make it more interesting.

• The scout on this wave tends to be very deadly and annoying on this wave, you can dumb the ai down to normal skill.

Wave 1
Giant rapid soldier/giant heavy/demos/medics use spawnbot now
added an extra bigheal on g burst demo
made scouts spawn on spawnbot

Wave 2
increased waitbetweenspawn on persians to 5 seconds and changed there spawncount/maxactive to spawncount 4 and maxactive 8

Wave 3
increased rapid bowman waitbetweenspawn 8 seconds
changed crits scouts ai back to normal ai

• The giant banner trio during the bowmen + bb soldiers subwave could spawn a little earlier.

• The icon noted in the boss health changes constantly depending on what weapon the boss is using, but some of these icons were missing. Also, "Infernal Solar Flare" isn't very cool of a name, you can do better.

Wave 2
made trio banner spawn a bit sooner
made deflectors spawn a little later and blackbox soldiers spawn sooner

Wave 4
reuploaded the hyper_giant icon

• Our run went well and this mission seems like a fun and fun one. The only change I would advise is to reduce the frequency of meteor spells from the boss, as their high knockback gets pretty noticeable with how often they come. Otherwise, this is campaign ready.

This mission has been accepted into the campaign! Well done.
