CO abilities
A slick-talking businessman, Hachi gets a 10% discount on all Units.
CO power
Barter - Hachi can purchase units at 50% of their original price.
Super CO power
Merchant Union - Creates ground units from any City under Hachi's control. Hachi also receives a 50% discount on all Units of their original price. (Union regulations and all that).
Tag Breaks
Hachi has Tag Breaks with the following COs:
Tactics
Hachi is a broken CO in nearly every way, and is arguably one of the best CO's in the entire series.
- In pre-deployed maps where there are no factories (like numerous Hard Campaign missions), he can deploy units in cities, unlike other CO's.
- On maps with relatively low funding (such as in competitive play), he has access to high-cost units that the opponent does not.
- On maps with relatively high funding, he has more opportunities than ever to invest in whatever units he wants.
- He lacks a firepower boost in the conventional sense, but him being able to deploy Bombers and Neotanks (or anything) with ease gives him firepower superiority.
- His day to day abilities giving him a discount lets him often be the first player to afford a Tank early on.
- He has no weaknesses.
- His CO Power, for only 3 stars, doubles your purchasing value. (Though for just 2 stars more, you can get something better)
- His power meter is one of the shortest in the game, yet his Super CO Power provides lots of utility.
- Being able to deploy units in cities means you can essentially fortify your army any region of the map. You can also flood all of your cities with Infantry and/or Mech to increase your unit count, which is very important.
