Nell - Orange Star's Blonde Commander

Nell Normal

Nell is the Commander of Orange Star and is a very well-rounded CO in many ways, with no specific unit type bonuses, but she was born under a lucky star and consequently is a very lucky lady!

Day To Day Abilities

  • Can do 1 or 2 more damage in luck

COP - Lucky Star 250,000g

  • Huge amounts of luck
  • 110% attack/defence

Nell's units get an even higher luck bonus, meaning that there's a chance you could do a crazy amount of damage even when the target reads a low percentage, or completely kill something when usually you'd only do it half damage. One example of this is a 5HP infantry on a road attacking a full-HP infantry on a city and the defending unit being blown down to 3HP! That's one hyped-up infantry. But sadly, luck is still luck, and there's no guarantee of stupidly high firepower. Attack/defence increases by 10%.

Notes & Tactics

Nell

Nell is like Andy, but more fit... for combat. She is also like Flak and Jugger from the later games, only without the chance of doing less damage. So play as you would with Andy, playing against your opponent's weaknesses and not expecting to do more damage than usual. But use those CO powers wisely, the random extra damage is not dependant on the units attacking and defending, it is just a random number added on the final result - which means ANYTHING has a chance to kill as long as it can attack. Flooding infantry is an interesting, if risky tactic, but when they have the chance to do an insane amount of damage, your opponents won't be laughing long.
