Trivia

  • Koal is believed to be based on the philosopher Sun Tzu, author of The Art of War.
  • Even though the in-game description states his CO power meter to fill more rapidly than that of other COs, this is not the case.
  • His road bonus also works for air units! Put this to good use next time when you're facing an anti-air with a bomber.
  • He is also thought to be based on Adder because they are both movement based COs with short CO meters.
