Zinaida is a freelance Raven. She palys a big part in the rather
pathetic plot. You see her three times in the game overall. The first
two times you see her you can't kill her off. the third time she comes
strolling in at the end cathcing you off gaurd. If only she didn't bring
upgrades with her. Sporting the hand rialgun and left arm Nix rapid
fire MG and Human Plus to use a back mount Lemia2 whilst being
on the run. If only she didn't sugar coat the pain by having infinate
energy. It is a rumour I can't back up that she is at 4000AP and
has modified defense points (upwars of 2000+ for shell & ene).
Personaly it can't logicaly be anything else than that unless she
got s special perk to show the part damage even if not damaged.
Either way she is often the one Ai opponent of the game that
every human player will come crawling from crying for help. Yes,
even I had to ask for help. Zinaida is not really
nothing if you think
about it. The problem is that you normaly come out of the first
part to get to her with about 2000 to 3500AP lost. And if you
do survive the path she will interact depeding on what you bring
to the fight. The slower you are the more often she will pound at
you with the Lemia2 that strips AP. So you are left with speed.

This is the way to get to the Zinaida mission. I'm not going to state
how to beat each mission. Most players are capable of figuring
out how to beat the path. Zinaida at the end is normaly the trouble.
As everyone else, I recommend you try this route last and should
you acidentaly run into this route, improvise the best you can.
Guess what? I explain each mission anyway! :P

Ditrubution Center Recon
Aliance HQ
136,000C
Recommend:
Light radar head, 89E, Cetus, LH96FA, B83TP, F82D2, G91, Ananda,
Yasya, Amino, O69ES, O79L+, Codon, Golgi, Histon, Marishi
Tactics:
When the mission starts, click on mode 2 of Cetus and slap the first
MT you encounter. Then continue on slapping the rest. Try to save
ammo by using a Yasya launch in the first open spot or two. Save
your cetus as best you can and be sure to not fire unless on mode 2.
Mode 1 is heater rounds, mode 2 is high attack rounds. When you
destroy the enemy sniper MT you will proceed
into a battle with an AC
and hopefully have not taken too much damage. Booster tap hop
as best you can and try to strafe around him whilst releasing yasya
pods and running the core EO. With this tactic you should be able to
keep in one rotational strafe and just let the EO of your yasya pods
and core take hits at him. If you run out of yasya then drop it ASAP
and start to use your mode 2 cetus to finish him. His legs should be
broken by that point thanks to yasya rounds.
