Temporary Coating

Temporary Coating is a gameplay element first introduced in Valkyria Chronicles 2. It does not return in Valkyria Chronicles 3 since it required the use of material collection, a feature that also does not return in Valkyria Chronicles 3.

Overview[]

First made available in April and accessed at the R&D Building, Temporary Coating is a process in which the player can combine different materials (such as Copper, Oak, and Steel) earned through completing missions and turn them into coatings. These coatings are then used on the equipment of one class for the duration of one mission, with the sum total of the materials' levels determining the fee in Ducats and the magnitude of the effect.

The effect of the coating can be positive or negative, depending on the items used as ingredients. Once made for the first time, the coating's effect is recorded in-game on a formula table for future reference.

Note: The tables below are divided by 1st-tier classes. Effects done to one class affect all tiers of that class tree (i.e. coating Scout equipment also affects Scout Veterans, Scout Elites, Heavy Scouts, Snipers, Sniper Elites, and Anti-Tank Snipers).
