EDF 6 M145 Wing Diver Inferno Raijin α run Operation Ring Destruction Part 1 ( Earth Defense Force )

The Wing Diver is the only class that can sort of cheese this very hard and messy mission by shooting enemy spawns with one shot. It's the only class that has a viable huge damage and acceptable reload long-range weapon, the Raijin α. This weapon can do up to almost 100k damage in one shot. By contrast, the best ranger can do is close to 17k with the MR111 Fang, the AR 17k with the Eiren IV and Fencer 15k with 35mm Battle Cannon and these have other shortcomings that would not make them viable.
Besides having the Raijin, this is only possible with the Big Bang Core. You'll have its benefits, huge energy and fast weapon reload, but its downsides, are barely no flight and dash that consumes too much energy.
The main idea is to one-shot spawners as they open or drop, thereby largely reducing the number of active enemies on the map. A reasonable knowledge of the mission flow is necessary to know which are the crucial ones you need to do that. I'll detail them:
at the start, you need to go to a position (took me a while to find a viable one) to take down 2 flower shaped new transport ships in sequence.; it must (should) be done as they're opening to avoid that they drop enemies, first the right one then the left; you'll need to have Raijin charged and the core full so that you can charge and shoot the Raijin again immediately (see video at 00:54)
sometime after this another new transport ship will spawn, you'll just have time to use the Raijin once before that (a Kraken is a good choice to use it)
Raijin can one-shot deroys and the queen bee that comes from the left side during the second wave
in the third wave it's crucial to destroy 2 shielded tail pylons as they come down, the right one first, as these will be hell to destroy otherwise when they're on the ground, and this is not easy; again for this to be possible you need to have a fully charged Raijin and the core full so that you can charge it again and shoot immediately the other (see video at 07:20); after this destroy the 2 outer big pylons, then the central giant pylon and new transports ships
To make things more troublesome, there are 2 NPC Armament Bargas at the start, which you should try to protect so that at least one is alive when the 3rd wave is spawn. 3 more NPC Proteus will show up during wave 2. You can't control them so you're in their hands, if they make a mess the mission likely will not be successful, so there's a LOT of luck involved in this run. Bargas particularly are many times dumb as bats and waste time chasing crap while they're trashed by all other enemies. Proteus never move once they reach their target position.
Some advice and also so that you don't make mistakes I did:
only use a fully charged Raijin, even a 96%ish usually does nothing, so if the Raijin charge is stopped by the core recharge wait for it to finish and fully charge the weapon before shooting
handle bees with Gleipnir and Mirage 15WR ASAP as they trash Bargas and Proteus
I didn't do it but it's wise to shoot once at the queen ant that spawns at the end wave, she won't die with one but will be almost dead
after the initial phase where you do need to fly and dash to reach in time the position for the first Raijin shots, avoid it as much as possibles because it consumes huge amounts of energy
I suggest that you change the zoom button for the WD from L3, as it's not practical at all
never keep still, moving reduces the chances of you and the NPCs being hit
Big Bang Core boost consumption has increased 4.5 times compared to EDF 5, so boosts and flight will deplete yours core in a snap
I had my whole armor at the time, but 1k would have been more than enough for this run. How much you'll need it's random too, although the most likely enemies to focus on and hit you are Kruhls from wave 2 or Nakers from wave 3. Your escape options are very limited, particularly during core emergency recharges which will be on most of your time anyway. I had tested this a few times and was never successful. Very little room for mistakes, and timings are crucial to reduce spawned enemies.
Weapons are the level 85 Raijin α, the level 76 Mirage 15WR, the level 81 Gleipnir α and the level 78 Big Bang Core.
It feels good to achieve this run. Sadly little to no chance for crates picking though.
Have fun,
