Gunparade March（PlayStation）
⚙️ Daily Scheduling and the Basics of Deployment and Combat
School life follows a schedule, while battles against the Genjuu use a turn-based system. Understanding the basic rules of both everyday life and combat reduces avoidable mistakes. This section outlines time management and the fundamental systems used during deployments.
Gunparade March — what should I check first in Schedules, Deployments, and Combat Basics?
School life begins with the start of each 1-day cycle in the morning, moves through homeroom and classes with a lunch break, and then enters free time after classes finish. Free time is a valuable period you can allocate to training, chores, socializing, and deployment preparations. You can choose whether to attend classes, but skipping them may have other consequences. Plan activities around the divisions of each 1-day cycle.

- ▸ The day runs from morning homeroom through classes and lunch break to after-school free time
- ▸ Use free time as you choose for training, chores, and socializing
- ▸ Class attendance is optional, and your actions change the results
- ▸ Schedule desired activities with the time of day in mind
Combat roles include scouts, who serve as infantry, and pilots, who operate humanoid tanks called Shikon-gou. Scouts cannot deploy without wearing the special armored suit called a Wardress. For pilots too, keeping a Wardress available is considered safer in case their vehicle is destroyed. Understand your combat role and make checking equipment before deployment a habit.
- ▸ Deployment roles include infantry scouts and pilots who operate Shikon-gou
- ▸ Scouts cannot deploy without wearing a Wardress
- ▸ Pilots should also prepare a Wardress to improve survival after vehicle destruction
- ▸ Always check your equipment before deploying
Combat is turn-based. With manual control, you assign several actions, or steps, within 1 turn. Lighter equipment lets you perform more actions, while heavy weapons or shields reduce the number available. Your combination of attacks, movement, and defense influences the battle. At first, avoid overambitious plans and build sequences you can reliably execute.
- ▸ Combat is turn-based, with multiple actions assigned within 1 turn
- ▸ Lighter equipment allows more actions, while heavier equipment reduces them
- ▸ Build command sequences with a balance of attack, movement, and defense
- ▸ Until you are comfortable, avoid reckless advances and prioritize reliable actions
Include aiming, defense, and magazine changes alongside weapon attacks in your action sequences. Check morale and remaining ammunition, and prepare the necessary weapons and spare magazines before deployment.
- ▸ "Aim" improves accuracy. Fire while its effect lasts
- ▸ "Evade" and "Defend" last for different numbers of steps. Choose according to the enemy's attacks
- ▸ "Change Magazine" replenishes ammunition from a spare magazine. Check carried supplies and equipment before running out
- ▸ "Recover Morale" restores 3 tenths of maximum morale. Use it to recover after spending morale on actions such as rapid fire
