Stuck Casual Noob

[ikj]

I'm just a casual fan of the game, but I've been enjoying this a lot more than normal titles, so I've maxed my characters, collected almost all the clothes, and have almost all the stars in easy campaign, i cant get passed the protect toad mission on the 2nd difficulty and since i cant beat the second run, i have no idea if i can even progress if i were to just brute-force the mission and beat the second play-through. i assume I'm stuck on something that everyone else would say is trivial since its only the second difficulty.

I've tried using a shield/Mauser and flamethrower tank, starship trooper gun and inf shooting commando and turret thingy, sniper with a myriad of combos, and medic with a similar host of combos.

I don't know what to do and I'm taking a break right now since its pissing me off. Any real help would be appreciated.

This guide is an idea of how you can beat it I can't say it will 100% work for Heroic and Insane Difficulty

On Hard Difficulty with protecting Toad, there's 2 key factors you need to understand about the level and you can overcome the level.

1. The enemies load out, as long they have these Skills/Weapons/Abilities I listed, they will deal a lot of damage and support each other making the mission a lot harder to beat

Self Revive (annoying as hell since you need to kill them twice)
Blur (worst than Self Revive since its 2 seconds of invincibility)

Flamethrower (As soon they get the weapon they will always charge the ability for another Flamethrower because of Toad so they get infinite ammo + damage until Toad dies)
*THIS WILL KILL YOUR RUN*

Ammo Wizard (Commandos will never switch weapons if they have an weapon that makes it OP either Explosives or Machine Guns)

Overdrive (This is a dangerous one since the bots will respawn faster than usual due to Overdrive increasing the player overall speed, movement, animation, reload speed, charge ability rate and respawn time.)
*THIS WILL KILL YOUR RUN*

Assault Drone (another annoying one, as soon you kill the Commando his drone will remain until he respawn)

Melee: ATM the bots have a bug where they deal a lot of damage because they actually swinging multiple times in one go so you may have encounter them one shoting you or Toad. Avoid having them in your game at all times

2. IMO Medic and Tank are possibly the 2 best classes for this mission due to their kit.

Medic can heal himself or boost his overall speed from his abilities his Magnums or ARs are good like .500 Toro, FAL or G36, so I would have Ammo Pouches since you need a lot of ammo to last for 3 minutes. The enemies are likely to steal ammo + health packs most of the time.

Tank with Power Cell and Ricochet will take the enemies out super fast, since Ricochet with Power Cell will last roughly 3.5 seconds giving you reflect and invincibility the enemies will actually take twice the damage deal to you. Shields are a must use for the mission, if you have Police + (any pistols) this will help you a lot (if you also have the Mod that decreased damage when blocking, this will help you a lot)

If you have good mods on your weapons they will make the missions a lot easier for you

just a heads up with the final mission on harder difficulty, IMO Tank is the only best class that can beat GlobeX Leader and survive the longest, use the same load out I mention earlier. (for the GlobeX on the rockets tried to get them to be on the left side they won't shoot you as long they are outside of your range for having short range weapons.

I hope you can get an idea of how to beat it soon and good luck
