Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: No Strike

Team Lineup:

• Yuugi (Demoman)
  
• Predicamento (Heavy)
  
• Cargo O’ Truth (Scout)
  
• MIKObscura (Medic)
  
• Sergeant Table (Soldier)
  
• Skin King (Engineer)

• Please remove the judging restrictions popfile since the restrictions only apply to intermediate and advanced difficulty.
  
• The whole mission really shows it is untested, certain waves just feel empty, drags a lot, and doesn't feel like expert at all.
  
• Many of the robot templates are used from previous events which is okay but using too many of them doesn’t feel like it’s unique anymore and feels like mashed together at the last minute.
  
• The low starting credits and payout in the early waves make it more favorable to go Heavy/Engineer since those classes work better with low cash than a soldier/demoman would. I would recommend balancing or making the total payout higher in the earlier waves.
  
• Be careful or avoid when you use Hard/Expert Ai on common bots, especially hitscan as these tend to be very deadly when facing them at close range.

• See General Feedback.
  
• The common bots with melee did absolutely nothing against the Red. Even for 450 starting credits, they are just fodder.
  
• The last subwave with the demoman feels like a roller coaster and after the support is cleared it falls back into nothingness.

• See General Feedback.
  
• Big Bear with Giant Uber Medic serves as nothing more than a punching bag. Replace the Big Bear that is more ranged Giant.

• The First subwave is really where it starts to ramp up the difficulty, Giant Combo Pyro, Giant Burst Demo, and the Helicopter pushed the Red team very harshly.
  
• Please do not hide Battalions on the Giant Burst Demo without providing any suitable icon.
  
• After the first subwave the Giants take a very long time to come out and as a consequence of that, the wave stretches out way more. Even the mini-giants take a while to come out and feel very boring. We spent around 10 minutes on this wave alone.
  
• Sergeant Shapeshifter doesn’t feel like going for the bomb? or probably is trying to hunt down players. We were really confused about where the boss was and had to move to the front to end the wave.

• The moment we started the wave, everything mentioned how empty the previous waves are thrown out of the window. A constant stream of Commons/Giants makes it more suitable for expert difficulty but can be overwhelming to some players as the Giants really are deadly.
  
• Giant Charged Soldier on the final subwave is questionable and is weak to use as a finale. Perhaps you can replace it with a stronger giant.

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: Pass with changes

Team Lineup:

• Yuugi (Sniper)
  
• Predicamento (Engineer)
  
• Cargo O' Truth (Scout)
  
• FlamingFox (Medic)
  
• Skin King (Pyro)

• Mission is very enjoyable to play, despite how short the wavebar is but I think it fits the difficulty appropriately, well done.
  
• Please Add the base judge_restricts.pop when you submit the next update.

• While the first Giant Heavy squad is manageable to beat, the second pair where the Red focuses on the Giant squad, we lost the gate how 3 Giant FaN Scouts manages to cap the gate. They have the shortest possible path and having to deal 3 of them at the same time is not very fun. I recommend you space them out more.

• Fairly decent wave but The Super Scouts and Giant Medics get in way of the tanks. Super Scouts cannot rush to the bomb and Giant Medics cannot heal their patients and therefore defeating their purpose. A way to reduce that is removing 2 tanks but buff the tank health to compensate but requires testing in order do so.

• 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.

• Please remove the judging restrictions popfile as the difficulty is labeled expert. Keep in mind that Judging restrictions only apply to Intermediate and Advanced difficulty
  
• This mission clearly shows it hasn’t been properly tested, one heavy decided to use an overclock that destroys everything in his path. Take a grain of salt but we cannot even give you a proper wave feedback due to how strong one overclock is. Consider removing or testing the mission without any overclocks.
  
• You can see the screenshot of the final score here: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1102684923749470249/1102689973225918485/image.png

• Majority of the overclocks have weird upgrades that either don’t do anything useful or are just straight-up confusing. For example, headshot overclock on the wrangler and cash grab magnet on every slot available on the engineer slots. This seriously needs more polishing.
  
• Giant Heavy Shotgun Oc: Clearly the most overpowered overclock that you can get on the minigun. How this overclock is available on the minigun is beyond anyone’s mind.
  
• Flamethrower oc: Doesn’t work on the Dragon’s Fury and when the pyro reflects has a huge smoke attribute which can be confusing to players and block players' view which is really annoying.

Keep in mind that the current rafmod update breaks ON_SHOULD_COLLIDE the same way on Dover2. Please refrain from using the Biker's Redeemer and the helicopter might clip inside building in a weird way.

Difficulty: Expert
Custom Upgrades?: Yes, The same as Royal's Custom upgrades from Dover2
Custom Weapons? Yes, The same Royal's Custom weapons from Dover2

• The mission plays just fine as it is but there needs some tweaking on the last wave. Overall it's getting very close getting a pass.
  
• Tanks in general could use some health buffs as they barely reach an quarter of the map.

• Last subwave is a bit underwhelming and slow, decrease the Spawn timer on the Giant Burst Demo.

• This wave is super chaotic and is too difficult for players. Engineer support/rough pacing/high MaxActive Pyro and Heavy is too much for players to handle. Consider nerfing it.

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: Pass 2/3

Team Lineup:

• Yuugi (Heavy)
  
• Whurr (Engineer)
  
• DaMno (Soldier)
  
• Sntr (Sniper)
  
• ihaz (Scout)

• The mission is very fun and enjoyable to play. Well done! Just some minor changes but overall nothing too major.
  
• Consider making airplane/blimp EngineLoopSound play nothing as it still plays the tank engine sound.
  
• The Airplane dropping the bomb sound is very subtle, perhaps you can make it more noticeable for players to hear it.

• Slightly tone down the soldiers as this can annihilate players too well.

• Either add weak fodder support on the last subwave or remove 1-2 Giant Heavies on this wave.

• This wave alone is too much for Red to handle. Both tanks and giants that come out are overkill, increasing the WaitBetweenTimer would help a lot.
  
• The Last subwave also needs to be toned down.

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: Pass 1/3

Team Lineup:

• Yuugi (Engineer)
  
• Florence (Soldier)
  
• Cargo O’ Truth (Scout)
  
• MIKObscura (Pyro)

• Mission is pretty much good for a pass, Well done. There are some minor issues.

• Funky Healz: Uncertain how this weapon should function. For one you regain ammo back from deflecting projectiles which is okay considering you can also gain ammo back mostly from the Dispenser/Ammo Canteens/Ammo boxes. No idea if gaining your health back from dealing damage with very few downsides is a good idea. it's nearly a straight upgrade from stock but it doesn't change the way you play or do anything interesting.

• For the Giant Rapid Demo consider using the demo_spammer you used on wave 5 or replacing the template with Valve’s Demo type 2 (FastFire).

• Increase the WaitBetween of the Giant Burst Soldiers as these can be overwhelming.
