List of Characters

Frustrated by the current lack of info on this game, I made a complete list of every non-dlc character in the game.

Alpha/Beta/Gamma Forms

There are 62 characters each with their own alpha/beta/gamma form adding up to 186 characters. Typically, alpha forms boosts ability, beta boosts speed, and gamma boosts sp move. Each of these forms also have different armor values, with beta being the lowest. Alpha has about 20% more armor than beta while gamma has about 45% more armor than beta.

The ability stat reduces ability cooldown, but does not increase ability damage. Speed increases acceleration. Sp move increases sp charge rate, but does not increase sp move damage.

Some characters can only be found in certain missions, while every character can be found in mission 46. The info for these locations is currently only in Japanese and some names differ between Japanese and English. That list can be found here: https://kufrdzkz5ss5pbgidjdznye6fm-ac5fdsxevxq4s5y-game-oruhachiv-com.translate.goog/deziboku-eartth-defense-force-brothers-list/

[R4v3n-45]

may want to add the sp modes as well and what type of sp mode each character has so fellow players can aim for which ones they like the most

[Corrodias]

I was getting Viking Brother on mission 20, so I suspect that data is simply a sampling and not authoritative.

[Zealous]

Thanks for the info here @GuineaPigJones. What I would really like to see added is what characters have the extra mobility moves such as unlisted sprints or rolls. I have noticed that many of the Iron Rain and Insect Armageddon characters appear to have them. The Iron Rain variant Wing Diver even has a forward dash and a downward boost. The default button to activate them is middle mouse click.

[Giga Otomia]

I found a second link to the Japanese information on GameFAQs, and I've compiled it into a spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DLqd8JZ5nSzRCsiP4lyy40pQ8X_Foii8da0vUD2a4gY/edit?usp=sharing

[Giga Otomia]

The link to that list of information in Japanese is dead.

[Stovich]

aaahh, that explains why Alt+F4 mid-mission would randomize the characters found, but refuse to pick certain characters. I'm guessing this pool does not reset when the game is closed.

[GuineaPigJones]

@Stovich 46 goes through 1 of each of the 62 characters and then resets its pool when it runs out.

[Stovich]

@Zero It is confirmed that every character has a chance of spawning on Mission 46.

There might be probability biases, as I had a hard time getting Koala Brothers and Dragon Sisters to spawn... but I can confirm that I've collected every character on this mission.

Mission 46 can be beaten really easily by using Baron Brother's SP ability on the giant Saurous . Just be sure to grab all of the brothers/sisters first before killing the two baby Saurous.

[GuineaPigJones]

@Zero that info is currently only in japanese and some of the japanese names differ from their english names so I have refrained from adding that to this guide. I will add the link with this warning to the guide at least.

[Zero Koneko]

Useful. Have you ever found any info about the stages ? I think that some only spawn in certain stages or spawn more often.
