I do believe that we have a hint as to our MG for this battle.
I swear I fixed that last night?
Bah, my mistake.
Anyway, moved MECA to Messenger 2.
Also, Gabriel is still on Messenger 2, she'll just be leaving if she's needed. I thought people would find that clear?
For those wondering why I'm prioritising on wiping them out fast: because otherwise, they'll be overwhelmed and die. There's no way around it, there's just to many for any other outcome, even with Team GEAR helping.

Conservative could quite likely end up with a lot of dead soldiers, and destroyed Messengers.
If, with Omni-cast, Nepgear can fire Starshine twice per turn, assuming an average of 10% destroyed per cast, she will be able to destroy 80% of one side. That still leaves, at best, 910 Demons. Assuming Judgement Core can destroy 15 per shot of her cannon, that's 730 Demons remaining. Team GEAR can kill another 6 demons per turn, MECA can probably kill another 15 per shot, and the Security Forces another 60. That'll leave 286 Demons to attack. Not good, right? The Security Forces especially are at risk, as are the engines of the Messengers.
And then we run into the problem that, as someone(Sereg?) speculated, there's likely 2 Summoners per side. So that's 42 extra demons per turn. So 454 demons. With more arriving every turn.
There's also the Gunship, but I'm not sure how much they'll contribute.
And if the Hell Beasts arrive, the situation gets even worse, as attention that could be spent on the Soul Reavers is spent on the Hell Beasts instead.

---[X] After Starshine and End Game synchronized, they will attempt to synchronize Celestial Severance and End Game immediately afterwards. They will then use whichever combination is better from then on every time Burst Stream procs. Or every turn, if they believe the combo doesn't benefit/need it. If the combinations are bad, they obviously won't use it.
-----[X] Solid Core is to keep casting Starshine outside of the Synchronized spell.
-[X] Gabriel is to move to Messenger 1 and be prepared for if and when the Hell Beasts appear.
--[X] If they appear on the battlefield, she is to engage and stop them from interfering with Judgement and Solid Core.

--[X] She is to help Messenger 1 in the meantime.
-[X] M.E.C.A. Force is to move to Messenger 2.

-[X] They're all counting on you for some fucking reason. Battle plan?
--[X] The Drives form aerial escort for the Cores. The Cores will fly out ahead of the convoy towards the enemies ahead, get some space. Everyone else take up defensive positions to keep the enemies off from the other directions. You're trying something new, and would prefer not to accidentally destroy what you're escorting.
--[X] Synchronize spells with Judgement Core, Starshine with The End. Judgement Core activates Burst Stream of Obliteration once the spells are synchronized and no friendlies are anywhere NEAR your firing arc. Scour as big an area as you can cover with Starshine of The End to one side of the convoy, while Omni-Casting regular Starshine in between. Judgement Core will recharge her Burst Stream of Obliteration at the same time. Synchronize again when Burst Stream has recharged.
--[X] After that, depending on the level of destruction, apply the same to the remaining directions with allowance for avoiding friendly fire, while the Drives move out through the cleared zone to make sure that the summoners are dead and search for any hostile magical girls, while the Cores run covering fire for them. Once the Drives return back to overwatch, the Cores go on full offense and repeat the cycle.

Remember Storm Empress? GAZE UPON HER OP-NESS!
Nicknamed Collateral Damage Woman by those who know of her, she'd probably be looked on much less favorably if not for her Weather's Blessing Ability. She mainly gets missions that either involve massive destruction, or missions away from anything important.
Her Howling Tempest spell came a few months after she became a magical girl, when she saw reports on the devastation caused by a tornado.
Her Super Ability is the main source of her OP-ness, as you can probably tell.
As for the picture, it is very hard to find a picture that looks sufficiently weather-y without using Storm from X-Men or going into the inhuman.

Is omnipresent really thematically appropriate for the spell?
I think he might have meant it in a "And there goes most of the Eastern Seaboard theater" way.

It's a literal hurricane. Winds going hundreds of miles per hour, powerful enough to rip trees out the ground, drive eggs and straw through bricks and wood, and otherwise causing massive amounts of destruction to anything with bad enough luck to be caught within it. Yes, I'd very much say Omnipresent is appropriate.
Also this.

and the "waves" spell?
Because, like, the only three canon omnipresent attacks that I can think of are not that... substantial, is the word I'm going to use.
One of them is a magical energy explosion that utterly permeates it's target area (well, I suppose it obviously does, what with omnipresent). The second is destructive sound waves, which can transfer through anything and thus effect everything. The third is a corrosive smog that phases through solid objects.
I don't think "dumps a lot of water on them" really fits that.

...you do have a point. Plus it already has the Collateral Damage Ability. Alright, I'll get rid of Omnipresent in Tidal Destruction, but I'm keeping it on Howling Tempest.

I'm not sure how Omnipresent would interact with Apocalypse.
ReaperofInterest
Herald of Disaster
I'm thinking they synch quite well, actually. The Collateral Damage line increases the area affected by a spell, while Omnipresent means everything inside the AOE gets hit equally as hard. Putting them together, in my mind, simply increases the range of the spell, all the while damaging everything within it equally as hard.

If you're looking for a particular reason why she's Story-tier as opposed to something higher, you could suppose she just lead a boring life. I've noticed that most of the higher-tier girls we've met or had their pasts explored had interesting lives.
Or you could just say she got a bad draw on the Growth Affinity draw.

Looks more like lots of experience despite being on a lower growth track, and trading off fine control for dakka.

Yes. With Charisma A+ and Rosy-Cheeked Adonis C
Indestructible Core may grant complete immunity to mental interference, but I don't really think that matters in this case.

@crystalwatcher , how long does it take for a Reaver to climb up the side of a messenger, and how many can try at once?
Also, how many Reavers can a human soldier fire on at once? I'm trying to figure out the math, and it currently looks like it comes to around 4 per turn with the Hostile Divinity bonus only kicking in once.
Human Damage: (250+780)+(257*4)+500= ~2560
Reavers: 1200+150-500= 850 HP
EDIT:
MECA: (800+780)+(395*8)+500= 5240
Just over 6 Reavers per attack, so 18 per turn.
