A perfectly executed Lotus Cascade with lower than the recommended numbers at only five hundred, versus two hundred first graders dispersed everywhere in the battlefield firing behind meat shields with impenetrable activated armor (and with squealing kids inside).
What do you think the result would be?
Damn right.
Unfortunately for Emma, as perfectly executed her Lotus Cascade was, it was the wrong attack sequence for the situation.
The Lotus Cascade was just a pretty name for the Chinese Federation's most signature move applied in a fancy aerial maneuver - The Human Wave.
If executed with enough numbers, the Lotus Cascade could very efficiently allow the general to rapidly gain complete control of a battlefield without missing a single spot.
But for Emma and her fliers, all they managed to do was to give up their aerial height advantage and expose themselves to the return fire of the mechas on the ground.
They achieved very little with their beautiful and fancy maneuver.
