Hero's Role

Suicide attacks were apparently the new trend in the mech tournaments held in central star nodes like Vulit.

Achieving victory mattered more than preserving the mechs in most cases. As long as there were enough friendly mechs left on the battlefield, then it was more than acceptable to sacrifice a bunch of machines to accomplish a result!

As long as the enemy suffered more losses, it was always worth it to go all out and use the mechs to their best effect!

This was why the Penitent Sisters chose to deviate from their training.

Ordinarily, the diving charge attacks of the Valkyrie Redeemers were a lot more restrained. The mechs needed to build up enough momentum to drive their spears through the enemy mechs, but they had to be careful not to go overboard and crash onto the ground!

This was a delicate balancing act that made performing dive attacks in planetary conditions a lot more fraught than charging enemies in space.
