— In-Game Description, Sonic Frontiers [ 1]
The Best Defense [ 1] Sonic Frontiers Ares Island , as well the fifth Quest overall. It's hosted by Knuckles . Its goal is to defeat the four Towers before the timer runs out.
Description [ ] Happening right after the Koco Roundup Quest, The Best Defense takes place in the same area. As thus, the only difference between the two Quest is the presence of four Towers , which Sonic has to take down.
As Sonic Frontiers
Story [ ] After Koco Roundup , Knuckles would observe the bunker, which reminded him of his first encounter with Sonic and Tails . While the Echidna theorized that maybe the people of the islands resettled on Angel Island , the Koco Soldiers would start panicking, as 4 Towers appeared.
Worried that the bunkers are going to be attacked, Knuckles would also panic, however, Sonic would offer to stop the enemies.
Gameplay [ ] The gameplay of The Best Defense consists in defeating the four Towers . Appearing as larger versions of their Kronos Island counterparts, the Towers will Stomp the ground when the player approaches them, spawning a set of Spikes which will go in opposite direction of the enemy, having the power to damage Sonic .
Once the Tower stomped into the ground, the player would have to either Climb the enemy and damage their head, or destroy each body segment individually. The Towers also have no ring, unlike their Kronos Island variants, making them easier to Climb. While Dodge cannot be used, similarily to the previous Quests on Ares Island , Boost can be used, helping the player to Climb the Towers faster.[ 1]
In this Quest, Sonic has three Lifes . Getting damaged by the Towers will drain a Life. Once all three have been consumed, the Quest will be restarted.
Overview [ ] In The Best Defense, the player has to defeat the four Towers within the time limit, which is 60 seconds, or 1 minute. Alongside the timer, the number of Towers defeated is also shown on the top of the screen. In this Quest, the player can defeat the Towers in any order.
After taking down all four Towers, the Quest will end. The reward for this Quest is the cyan Chaos Emerald .
