I honestly was surprised that our two main heavy-hitter gun-ho characters both simply ruined themselves within the first couple of rounds. That was an awful big shocker that kinda threw out all the initial perceptions I had of how the battle would go. It also resulted in two of our more powerful Frames being lost early on, as it sort of narrows the team's firepower somewhat. Stukov's heavy machine with it's rockets seemed to balance out our lighter and more precise frames, but now that completely gone.
Personally, I'm a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to use Caliburn to its full capacity. Those secondary weapons designed for short to high-mid range would've made Lora a real threat if she had gotten the opportunity to pull them out properly, but Macabre and Diver didn't let up.
I'm still not quite so hyped on the team-up plan, since it amounted to a drawn-out 3v1 later on. It certainly gave the team more integrity as far as survival - Caliburn might've lasted longer than Macabre if Diver hadn't swooped in to support.
Overall, was far different when it started, kinda devolved a bit, I'm left a bit unsatisfied, Ryan is an asshole, and Lorenzo is an asshole-in-chief.
EDIT:
By the way,
@Ariamis, have any of our Synchro Rates changed as a result of the fight? I seem to recall you mentioning that even this battle would affect the hard Synchro Rate, but correct me if I'm wrong.
