Heroic Victory Criteria/Statistics


Recommended Posts

First, a few notes about relevant factors to Heroic Victories:

 

1) I don't believe that damage taken affects your rating; health and ammo pickups may, but I never picked up more than 2 per level, and it never compromised my rating. However, as has been noted by many, any units being killed will disqualify an HV.

2) I don't know how much accuracy affects your rating, but as the entire game can be reasonably completed with only snipers and bazookas, your accuracy will probably be just fine.

3) I failed to get good ratings on all stealth/infiltration levels; I assume the primary factor here is minimizing your noise (gunshots), but the patrols are so thick that it just wasn't worth it for me to try.

4) Following this guide, you can achieve all 21 Heroic Victories. I personally passed on the stealth levels - on these five missions, I got 3 Major Victories and 2 Regular Victories. Given the margin for error, feel free to pass on any missions where you just can't seem to match the statistics.

Heroic victory mission 6: 9 turns, 19/28 Hits

 

Not looking for better stats, only worse stats (we want the loosest possible requirements).

 

It is appearing more and more that the only truly relevant stats are No Deaths and Number of Turns. (Unless it is a stealth board).

Heroic victory mission 16: 16 turns, 26/28 hits.

 

Heroic victory mission 17: 11 turns, 33/35 hits.

 

Heroic victory mission 18: 6 turns, 41/68 hits.

 

Heroic victory mission 19: 10 turns, 33/34 hits.

 

I made screenshots of the heroic victories "mission stats", so I can always check the number of kills if necessary.

Update - got Heroic Victory on Mission 21.

 

As long as you are fast and aggressive, getting Heroic Victories just gets easier and easier with experience. Even on your first playthrough, you will very likely get 10 by accident.

 

I have to re-inforce a recommendation - I don't know whether which types of units you use affects your rating, but just for speed and efficiency, don't ever recruit planes or tanks. Stick exclusively with Snipers and Bazookas. You'll never need (or really want) any other units.

So, thanks to posts from numerous sources, this listing is now complete. I will no longer be updating, but feel free to continue to post. Remember - people are not so much interested in how great or efficient you can make your stats; they're interested in the worst possible statistics that will still net them the Heroic Victory.
