Gameplay
The invasion ends here!
Takatoshi determined to save his country
Takatoshi pilots Sentinel No. 12, a 1st Generation model. His mode of operation is to attract the enemy's attention, get in close, and destroy them with extreme prejudice. He is the only 1st Generation pilot who has access to Composite Ceramic Armor and Counter. With the two, Takatoshi is immune to small arms damage while being able to dish out the pain at the same time. Couple that with his EMP abilities and Defense Mode, and he can pull an entire army of kaiju away from his countrymen and deal with the threat accordingly. With Limiter Removal, this fervent soldier's killing abilities dramatically increase. Aiming for Back Attacks will most certainly see even the heaviest and armored kaiju fall. His Anti-Air Defensive Flares also makes him handy in a pinch in case of heavy missile attacks.
With the highest HP, Defense and Attack, he makes for an excellent tank and brawler. However, he also has the lowest Speed and EP out of the three 1st Generation pilots. Being surrounded by kaiju, seeing the city in ruins, and having less people in the attack team makes him fight harder.
Despite having the highest Attack, he doesn't have the same power spikes in damage that Nenji Ogata and Ei Sekigahara possess. His pilot skills that raise his attack are extremely situational, and having less pilots on the field isn't enough to make up for his increase in attack. His low EP means he can't be operational for too long unless he can consistently kill large amounts of kaiju. The lack of Anti-Ground Multi-Lock Missiles makes him less effective at crowd control.
