Tricks and traps waver in the sand dunes
As singular man kindles fighting spirit
A simple girl calls forth monumental power
Sandstorm is a mission in Azure Striker Gunvolt 3, taking place in the stage Desert Base.
Official Description[]
A base in the dunes forms part of Sumeragi's supreme national defenses.
Deep underground, a Binding Brand dwells dormant.
Overcome the sweltering heat and make your way within.
Stage Composition[]
Alongside the usual cohort of ATEMS soldiers and robots, there are land mines scattered across the terrain. They'll explode on impact, but are destroyed in one attack (even an untagged slash removes them with ease). The first half of the stage ends with a mid-boss fight against Aspis.
The 2nd half of the stage is filled with sand that flows down like a waterfall, carrying platforms and mines. The mines can be tagged and Arc Chained to traverse the bottomless pits and spikes that fill this part of the level. A few beam traps will complicate matters, requiring careful tagging and Arc Chain to remove them.
