• darinsky (Heavy)
  
• Sntr (Engineer)
  
• Mince (Scout)

• Try to make it so the demo boss doesn't change behavior mid-uber.
  
• The damage bonus of 400% against buildings on the sunstick scouts is fairly intense and I don't see a good justification for it being so high.
  
• Just another note on the sunstick gscouts, apparently since with ignite on hit the fire is applied before the crit bonus condition is checked the bot will always crit even on the initial hit.

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: No Strike.

• Cariles (Scout)
  
• Seelpit (Spy)
  
• Yuugi (Engineer)
  
• Cargo O' Truth (Soldier)
  
• Sntr (Demoman)

• The last subwave proves overly difficult due to the sheer number of heavy bots present at once.

• The fast scouts in the last subwave should be support limited.
  
• I heavily recommend giving this wave a higher payout (of about +$300) to make the difficulty of the following waves more reasonable.

• Wave is pretty same-y throughout and definitely loses engagement during the latter two tanks due to very little variation in bot types.

• This wave significantly lacks threat compared to previous waves, consider buffing spawn rates/using more difficult bot compositions in order to increase difficulty.

• Boss can be sapped which is probably a bit too much of a buff for spy against him. I enjoy this wave otherwise.

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: No Strike.

Team Lineup:

• Sntr (Soldier)
  
• Cariles (Scout)
  
• Package O' Lies (Heavy)
  
• Mudun (Engineer)
  
• Crilly (Demoman)

• It's been noted that there has been a significant improvement from the last version of this mission, but there are still a good few issues to address.
  
• The mission suffers from an overall lack of interesting bot compositions, making the waves feel like a drag most of the time.
  
• Melee bots for the most part don't do much of anything but serve as a momentary distraction due to the verticality of the map's layout.
  
• The waves generally end up with a significant number of straggling bots, especially waves 4 and 5.
  
• Refrain from using Giant Meds in combination with common bots, it mitigates the impact of what could otherwise be an engaging threat for a subwave. I recommend you always opt instead to pair them with fellow giants.

• The weakest wave out of all I'd say, it relies too heavily on short range bots which do not do much on crown's layout.
  
• Giant Bowmen and Giant Pyros don't provide a significant enough challenge given their position as the main force of the wave.

• The icon used for "T_TFGateBot_Giant_Boxing_Heavy" is wrong, it should be heavy_champ.
  
• The wave shouldn't have gatebots following the second spawn of T_TFGateBot_Giant_Boxing_Heavy.
  
• Duos of easy skill heavies are not that interesting or engaging for the primary force pushing for gate, they were only able to do anything because we weren't paying attention for long enough at the last leg of the wave (where they shouldn't have been present anyway).

• There should be some delay at the start before the giant demos start spawning.

• This wave very heavily relies on steel gauntlets when a greater variety of bots would be more enjoyable.
  
• Please use T_TFBot_Medic_QuickUber instead of the full duration medics, especially when you're pairing them with common bots.
  
• The last giant deflector heavy arrives without support (other than his medics) which makes his presence more of an inconvenience between the team and the end of the wave rather than a real threat.

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

Team Lineup:

• Sntr (Scout)
  
• Cariles (Scout)
  
• Cerulean (Scout)
  
• Crilly (Scout)
  
• Mr. Luigi (Scout)

• Nothing too critical to say on this, the mission is fun and paced well and the custom weapons seem well-balanced and provide interesting dynamics to explore with a particular scout's role on the team.
  
• My one and only suggested optimization would be to vary up Saxtron's moveset a bit more so that fighting him requires a bit more of a tactical approach. This is optional and leaving him as is is perfectly fine as an option.

• The Marshal Martyrdoms experience an issue where they detonate on the ledge of bot dropdown before entering the playable area.

• Way too much going on during this wave, please find a way to tone it down a bit.

• The "Batshit Insane" GScouts arrive too early and spawn too frequently, resulting in the team which has already been split by a tank at this point being stretched even thinner in the face of a GHeavy Combo.

• There were some complaints about the dirt mound in front of bot spawn and suggestions to remove it, but no criticisms mission side.

• This wave proved to be just a little bit tough for our lineup, I have a few suggestions:
  
• Wave probably doesn't need sniper support, the existing support is strong enough to carry the wave on its own.
  
• Reduce spawncount and total count of direct hits.
  
• Second subwave could do without the persians, if you like you can move the buff banners onto the stock demos instead.
  
• Remove damage bonus on boss, potentially reduce number of pills in each burst.

• Scouts following heli subwave should have a longer waitbeforestarting.

• Fantastic boss wave, I think our run's failure was mostly a skill issue though there are a couple things I'll suggest to be safe:
  
• Reduce health of the giant sunstick scouts or give them the move speed penalty typical of armored scouts.
  
• Maybe halt the spawns of the giant combo pyros while droneman and the amplifier mechanic are present or until one is dead?

Withdrawing this submission since I'm not comfortable with the level of quality I'd be able to achieve with the time remaining

Team Lineup:

• Steel slugger could use a buff to its max ramp up range as it being single shot means you're more effective with some distance between you and your target.

• The wave felt like a bit much due to the sheer number of commons present.

• Reduce boss hp by ~10-15k and reduce homing time on his rockets.

• The Distraughter in its current state is weaker than stock, I'd also urge you to find some way to make it more interesting as only having minicrits > crits as a bonus is a bit lackluster.
  
• Laser Surgery does insane amounts of tank damage.

• First subwave needs more threat as the main force being crit bonk scouts makes it fodder for engineer.

• Final subwave has often had teams struggling, potentially could remove the giant med off of the second giant heavy and lightly increase delay before giant demos spawn.

• First subwave drags, I can recommend reducing giant scouts by 2 and natascha + quick uber combos by 2-4.
  
• Support is fairly intense, suggest removing spies.
  
• Final subwave still suffers from the fact that the blimp skips most of the map straight to hatch. Easy solution is to reduce HP, but the mission would benefit from switching up the route to instead travel over the bridge path.

• Boss wave feels like it needs more content/subwaves, it's over very quickly.
