Primary Equipment: Mega Launcher / Huge Launcher Specialized Equipment: Anti-Air Radar, Missile Pods, Flight Unit, Reinforced Metal Device Project Powered Suit.

Personality

Ulala is a confident and capable Metal Device Project pilot whose unusually high compatibility with her specially designed powered suit allows her to operate extremely heavy weaponry.

She is proud of her equipment and possesses the combat potential of an entire aerial division. Her cheerful expressions and enthusiastic presentation contrast with the intimidating size of her weapons.

Despite her exceptional capabilities, Ulala has her own personal difficulties. Her parents are both researchers involved in the Metal Device Project, and their close involvement in her life can sometimes become troublesome for her.

Her powered-suit enhancements also come with a persistent problem: an enormous appetite.

As the equipment becomes more powerful and allows her to carry increasingly heavy weapons, her energy requirements become a recurring concern.

Personality Traits:

• Confident powered-suit pilot.
• Highly compatible with experimental MDP equipment.
• Capable of handling extremely heavy weapons.
• Cheerful and expressive.
• Proud of her combat equipment.
• Independent in military operations.
• Sometimes troubled by her overprotective parents.
• Frequently hungry because of her powered-suit enhancements.

Backstory and Lore

Ulala is the third compatible pilot selected for the Regular Army's secret Metal Device Project.

Unlike ordinary experimental pilots, Ulala possesses exceptionally high compatibility with the powered suit developed specifically for her. Her parents are both researchers working on the project, allowing her equipment to be extensively customized around her capabilities.

Her first major appearance is during the Extra Ops DESTRUCTION AND REGENERATION, where she investigates ancient ruins alongside Special Perche. The two encounter Sol Dae Rokker Arche, an awakened entity that threatens humanity.

She subsequently participates in other Metal Device Project operations alongside Perche and Ami.

Her Special variant demonstrates her ability to operate the Huge Launcher at full output, while her For Liberty version receives a considerably more powerful powered suit with enhanced flight capabilities and a gigantic missile pod.

Although her combat strength continues to improve, her increased appetite remains a persistent problem.

Full Appearance

Ulala is a youthful female soldier with bright cyan-blue hair and vivid green eyes.

Her hair is arranged into two large, distinctive twin-tails that extend outward and curve around her head. Her cheerful expression and energetic appearance contrast with the enormous military equipment she carries.

Her most recognizable visual feature is the specialized Metal Device Project powered suit, which allows her to operate heavy weapon systems while maintaining aerial mobility.

• Has reinforced armor across her arms, legs, and lower body.

For Liberty Missile System:

The For Liberty suit carries a gigantic missile pod, replacing her previous handheld firearm.

The missile system is substantially heavier than her earlier equipment, but her upgraded powered suit enables her to fly effortlessly while carrying it.

The concept art also depicts several alternate color configurations for the missile pod and its components.

Quotes

Original sample dialogue for roleplay; these are not claimed to be verbatim in-game quotations.

"With this powered suit, I can fly while carrying all of this! Isn't that amazing?"

"Just watch! My Mega Launcher can handle an entire formation!"

"Ugh... I'm hungry again. Why does this suit make me eat so much?"

"Mom! Dad! I told you I can handle the mission myself!"

"Time to give them a taste of the MDP's latest firepower!"

ULALA — FULL LORE: EXTRA OPS

1. DESTRUCTION AND REGENERATION — The Third Compatible Pilot

Extra Ops: DESTRUCTION AND REGENERATION Ops Number: 112 Version: 3.14.0 Event Period: September 26 – October 1, 2018 Featured Characters: Ulala, Special Perche, Sol Dae Rokker Arche.

Ulala makes her major story debut in DESTRUCTION AND REGENERATION.

She is introduced as the Regular Army's third compatible pilot of the top-secret Metal Device Project, a next-generation weapons development program.

Her natural compatibility with the specially developed powered suit is considerably higher than that of the previous MDP pilots.

Her parents are both researchers working on the project, and the suit was specifically designed around her compatibility.

Her enormous Huge Launcher gives her the firepower of an entire aerial division, allowing her to carry out devastating bombardments from above.

The Ruins of Sol Dae Rokker

The story takes place after the events surrounding Cross/You.

Earlier, White Baby had encountered the Sol Dae Rokker Anima and touched it despite Amadeus's warnings. Its dormant power was reawakened, transforming it into Sol Dae Rokker Arche.

In the present, the Regular Army detects an unusual concentration of energy near the ruins.

Marco orders Ulala and Perche to investigate.

The two pilots arrive and discover that Sol Dae Rokker has awakened again, now possessing its restored original power.

The threat is too dangerous to leave undisturbed.

Ulala and Perche engage the entity and successfully destroy Sol Dae Rokker Arche for a second time.

Perche's Collapse

The battle leaves both pilots exhausted.

Ulala asks Perche to double-check their surroundings, wanting to make sure the area is safe after the confrontation.

However, when she turns around, she discovers that Perche has collapsed from exhaustion.

This is a significant moment for their partnership.

Despite being the more experienced and highly compatible operator of the two suits, Ulala is still working alongside another pilot who has her own physical limits.

Their mission is successful, but the aftermath reminds them that operating experimental powered suits is physically demanding.

The Regular Army's Investigation

Back at the Regular Army headquarters, Midori informs Marco that she can still detect energy waves coming from the ruins.

She considers them harmless for the moment.

After Midori leaves, Marco opens a classified file and begins wondering whether Sol Dae Rokker Arche's revival was really a coincidence.

Meanwhile, the Rebel Army arrives at the ruins and secures the remains.

A researcher criticizes the Regular Army for leaving the remains behind.

However, the soldier accompanying the researcher reveals that the Sol Dae Rokker Anima Vessel is actually their family's treasure.

This ending leaves the mystery of Sol Dae Rokker's destruction and regeneration unresolved.

Ulala's Role: An aerial artillery specialist dispatched to investigate and eliminate a dangerous entity. Although she successfully destroys Arche, the wider mystery surrounding its revival is not resolved by her mission.

2. FALL CLIMBER — Testing the New MDP Equipment

Associated Characters: Ulala, Perche, Ami.

Another appearance described in the MDP character-story material involves a briefing concerning the Fall Climber.

Ulala is issued a new powered suit and receives the assignment of testing its destructive capabilities against the machine alone.

Perche and Ami cheer her on from the sidelines.

The test becomes an amusing demonstration of Ulala's unusually high equipment compatibility.

Her performance is sufficiently demanding that she repeatedly returns to replenish her food and drinks.

Ami is particularly baffled when Ulala returns for additional refreshments for the second time.

This incident reinforces one of the MDP's most consistent problems: the considerable energy demands of their powered suits.

For Ulala, the increased appetite is especially noticeable because of the amount of heavy equipment she operates.

Lore distinction: The character-story summary identifies this Fall Climber test, but does not provide a separately verifiable Extra Ops number or date for the scene. It should therefore be treated as an additional MDP testing appearance rather than assigned an invented event number.

3. SPECIAL ULALA — The Modified Powered Suit

Variant: Special Ulala Version: 4.7.0 Associated Event: TRY LINE 9th Event Period: June 25–30, 2019 Rarity: Rare

Ulala receives her second playable version, Special Ulala.

Her alternate appearance uses a modified powered-suit design, featuring a gold-toned and dark metallic colour arrangement in the supplied concept art.

Her exceptional compatibility with the MDP equipment remains her defining characteristic.

The variant is included among the Expert Units for TRY LINE 9th, demonstrating its association with this period of her military deployment.

However, the available event announcement does not establish a separate character-focused storyline for Special Ulala.

Rather than inventing an entirely new adventure for this version, it is more accurate to treat Special Ulala as an alternate equipment configuration of the same pilot.

Her personality, family background, and established abilities remain those of the original character.

4. MY BEACH — The Banana Collection Competition

Extra Ops: MY BEACH Ops Number: 247 Version: 6.10.1 Event Period: August 7–14, 2021 Type: Recapture Characters: Ulala, Perche, Ami, Sisilia, Veronica.

Ulala later appears alongside Perche and Ami in MY BEACH.

The event begins when Sisilia and Veronica discover a group of mysterious monkeys guarding a supposed treasure.

The monkeys explain that they will hand over their treasure to whichever team can collect the most scattered bananas.

Before the competition begins, the three MDP pilots arrive.

The monkey boss accepts their participation and promises that both sides will compete on equal terms.

The Slippery Hallway

At the first location, Ulala encounters Veronica while attempting to reach a banana.

Unfortunately, the hallway is extremely slippery.

Veronica is unable to use her motorcycle properly, while Ulala struggles to walk across the surface.

Despite the enormous firepower of her powered suit, the situation becomes surprisingly inconvenient for her.

This is a particularly funny contrast: the woman capable of operating a gigantic aerial launcher is struggling to retrieve a banana because the floor is slippery.

Perche and Ami's Competition

Elsewhere, Sisilia catches up to Perche.

Using her new vehicle, Sisilia manages to collect large piles of bananas much more effectively than Perche.

Later, Sisilia encounters Ami and notices that she is hungry.

She offers Ami something to eat, successfully distracting her from the competition.

Once Ami realizes what has happened, she becomes determined to take revenge by collecting Sisilia's bananas.

The Monkey Boss's Trick

Eventually, both teams return with their collected bananas.

The monkey boss places the bananas on a scale.

To everyone's surprise, the two groups have collected exactly the same weight.

Both teams are instructed to collect even more.

However, the townspeople discover the truth: the scales were designed to remain balanced from the beginning.

The monkeys had effectively deceived both teams.

Despite this, the rumors surrounding the treasure attract additional mercenaries and make the town famous.

Ulala's Role: A competitor in the banana challenge who discovers that even a powerful MDP pilot can have trouble with an inconveniently slippery floor.

5. ULALA FOR LIBERTY — The Heavily Upgraded MDP Suit

Variant: Ulala for Liberty Release: November 20, 2021 Associated Event: TASK FORCE 18th Rarity: Super Rare.

Ulala's third playable variant introduces a substantially upgraded version of her Metal Device Project powered suit.

The Regular Army's MDP combat-strengthening program provides her with a redesigned system capable of carrying considerably heavier weapons without sacrificing aerial mobility.

Her new equipment is no longer limited to the original Huge Launcher configuration.

The upgraded suit now supports a gigantic missile pod, replacing the handheld firearm used by her earlier configurations.

Despite the additional weight, Ulala can fly effortlessly while carrying the new equipment.

The Appetite Problem Gets Worse

Unfortunately, the improvements come with another drawback.

The enhanced powered suit causes Ulala to suffer from constant hunger.

Her parents become concerned about their daughter and begin developing portable rations that will keep her full for longer.

This is an extension of the food-related problem already established in her earlier appearances.

The more powerful her suit becomes, the more difficult it is to keep her properly fed.

TASK FORCE 18th

Ulala for Liberty is released alongside the TASK FORCE 18th event.

The event uses a special task-based map where players must decide whether to continue advancing or return with their collected rewards.

Ulala for Liberty is an Expert Unit for this event.

She also receives the gameplay team bonus TASK FORCE XVIII when deployed alongside Slug Attackers.

However, TASK FORCE 18th's main story centers on the event's own featured conflict and boss, not a dedicated Ulala adventure.

Her official unit introduction is therefore the strongest source for her For Liberty lore.

Final Extra Ops Assessment

Across her Extra Ops appearances, Ulala develops from an exceptionally compatible aerial weapons pilot into a heavily upgraded artillery specialist.

Her Original version establishes the Huge Launcher and her role in the MDP.

Her Special configuration provides an alternate suit appearance.

Her For Liberty version introduces substantially heavier weaponry and improved aerial mobility.

Despite these improvements, one problem follows her throughout every stage of development:

Ulala is always hungry.

Her extraordinary compatibility makes her one of the MDP's most powerful pilots, but even the Regular Army's advanced technology cannot completely solve the problem of keeping her fed.

ULALA — FULL LORE: ANOTHER STORY

1. NEW GENERATIONS! — The MDP Girls and the Next Generation

Faction: Regular Army Story: NEW GENERATIONS! Main Characters: Ulala, Perche, Ami, Reika, Rita, Avvio, Roberto Nicola, Marco Rossi, Tarma Roving, Eri Kasamoto, Fio Germi, Grazia, Norah, Loretta.

NEW GENERATIONS! is the most important Another Story appearance involving Ulala.

Unlike DESTRUCTION AND REGENERATION, which focuses on Ulala and Perche's investigation of Sol Dae Rokker Arche, this chapter places the three Metal Device Project pilots within a much larger Regular Army operation.

It also introduces the younger generation of Regular Army soldiers and demonstrates how the MDP pilots interact with their fellow recruits.

Training at the Regular Army Base

The story begins with Reika sleeping when Rita and Avvio arrive to wake her.

Despite her apparent laziness, Reika proves to be an excellent fighter.

She spars with both soldiers and defeats them.

Rita becomes impressed by Reika's umbrella gun, and Reika offers to order additional weapons for her.

Avvio doubts that Rita will be capable of using such equipment properly, resulting in Rita sending him flying.

The MDP girls subsequently join the training activities, with the exception of M.D.P.S-Mz 3.

Perche comments on how the recruits are playing around instead of concentrating on their training.

She also mentions the hunger caused by wearing the powered suit.

Tarma watches the younger soldiers from a distance, remembering his own youth.

Eri approaches him and suggests that he could join them if he wants to feel young again.

During this gathering, Perche notices Marco arriving with military equipment.

Marco informs the soldiers that the Ptolemaic Army and Amadeus Syndicate are on the move.

Fio expresses confidence in the younger generation of Regular Army soldiers, believing they can participate in the upcoming campaign.

Ulala's Disappointment

Avvio asks whether he can accompany the others during the operation.

Eri immediately refuses.

The decision disappoints Ulala.

She is particularly unhappy that Reika did not attempt to persuade Marco to let them participate.

Avvio also notices that Eri appears reluctant to allow the younger soldiers to join the mission.

Reika, however, believes that they should trust their superiors.

She argues that their current responsibility is to remain at the base and protect the civilians.

Ulala's reaction shows that she wants to participate in the operation rather than remain behind.

The MDP pilots are powerful, and she clearly believes their abilities could be useful.

However, the situation is not resolved before an alarm announces an approaching Rebel Army attack.

The Rebel Army Diversion

Rita immediately detects Rebel Army personnel and runs off to engage them.

She encounters Norah, who eventually retreats after being defeated.

The remaining soldiers catch up to Rita, who informs them that Norah has withdrawn toward the Vice Commander, Loretta.

The MDP girls believe the enemy should be pursued before the two officers can regroup.

Reika disagrees.

She believes their manpower is limited and that returning to defend the base should remain their priority.

Avvio and Rita follow Reika.

However, Perche, Ami, and Ulala decide to pursue the enemy instead.

Pursuing Norah and Loretta

The three MDP pilots continue following the retreating Rebel officers.

Norah eventually reaches Loretta, who orders a Shoe MK II to engage the pursuing Regular Army soldiers.

The MDP pilots defeat the enemy machine.

Despite their success, Perche gradually realizes that something is wrong.

The enemy's retreat was a diversion.

The Rebel Army had deliberately drawn the three powered-suit pilots away from their assigned position.

Grazia's Attack on the Base

The three pilots immediately return toward the Regular Army base.

However, Grazia has already launched an assault using a Dragon Nosuke+.

The remaining Regular Army recruits are forced to defend themselves.

Reika supports the defenders by providing supplies and helping them remain operational despite their limited manpower.

The situation becomes increasingly difficult, but the recruits manage to hold out.

Eventually, they receive word that the P.F. Squad is returning to the base.

Recognizing that the Regular Army reinforcements are approaching, Grazia decides to withdraw.

The attack is unsuccessful.

Marco's Reprimand

Following the operation, the MDP pilots return to the Regular Army base.

Marco confronts Perche, Ami, and Ulala.

Although he understands that they were deceived by the enemy's diversion, he is angry that they disobeyed their direct orders.

The three pilots had left their designated position to pursue Norah and Loretta.

Their actions could have caused considerably more damage if the remaining recruits had not been able to defend the base.

Eri separately reprimands Avvio for his carelessness during the engagement.

She also comments that Rita's aggressive behavior hardly requires another reprimand.

Tarma watches the situation unfold.

Later, Fio approaches Reika and asks why she did not call for additional support.

Reika responds that she must protect her own pride and eventually apologizes for her earlier outburst.

Psychological Significance for Ulala

NEW GENERATIONS! demonstrates that Ulala is capable of taking initiative and expressing dissatisfaction when she believes her abilities are being underused.

However, her decision to pursue the Rebel officers also exposes a tactical weakness.

Her confidence in the MDP's combat strength does not automatically mean that every confrontation is the correct priority.

The attack on the base demonstrates why military discipline and defensive responsibilities remain important even for exceptionally powerful pilots.

Ulala is a capable soldier, but she still has to operate within a coordinated military structure.

2. The Other Regular Army Stories — Her Place in the Wider Continuity

Although the Regular Army's other Another Story chapters provide additional background on the faction and its soldiers, Ulala's own documented participation is concentrated in NEW GENERATIONS!

In particular, MY HERO primarily follows Perche and Ami's recruitment and early development.

Ulala is not the central protagonist of that chapter.

The earlier events surrounding the MDP, including the development of Ami's and Perche's partnership, should therefore not be rewritten as Ulala's personal experiences.

Likewise, the events surrounding White Baby and Sol Dae Rokker Arche belong to the wider Extra Ops continuity. Ulala's involvement in that storyline is specifically her investigation alongside Perche.

3. Ulala's Relationships within Another Story

Perche: Her fellow MDP pilot and teammate. They cooperate during the pursuit of the Rebel officers, although their decision to leave the base contributes to Marco's reprimand.

Ami: Her fellow MDP pilot. She participates alongside Ulala and Perche during the same operation.

Reika: A fellow Regular Army soldier whose position on defending the base differs from Ulala's desire to join the campaign. Their disagreement is operational rather than a personal feud.

Rita and Avvio: Members of the younger Regular Army generation. Their actions help establish the wider training environment in which Ulala participates.

Marco Rossi: Senior commander who gives the MDP pilots their orders and later reprimands them for leaving their assigned position.

Tarma Roving: Senior Regular Army soldier who watches the younger recruits during training.

Eri Kasamoto: Senior military personnel who establishes the restrictions governing participation in the operation.

Fio Germi: Senior Regular Army soldier who expresses confidence in the newer generation.

Grazia: Rebel Army commander responsible for the attack on the base using Dragon Nosuke+.

Norah and Loretta: Rebel Army officers pursued by the MDP pilots during the diversion.

4. Final Another Story Assessment

NEW GENERATIONS! provides an important look at Ulala outside the ruins investigation.

She is not simply a pilot who operates a giant launcher and follows instructions.

She has her own opinions about military assignments and becomes disappointed when she believes the MDP pilots are being kept out of important operations.

However, her decision to pursue the Rebel officers also demonstrates that even highly compatible pilots must consider the wider battlefield situation.

Ulala's abilities are extraordinary, but the Regular Army still requires coordination, teamwork, and discipline.

FINAL VERDICT: Ulala is an exceptionally capable MDP pilot whose confidence sometimes makes her eager to enter combat. NEW GENERATIONS! demonstrates that she is still learning to balance her desire to fight with the responsibilities of defending her assigned position. Her strength is unquestionable, but becoming a reliable soldier also means knowing when not to pursue an enemy.

ULALA — COMBAT ABILITIES ANALYSIS

1. Ulala for Liberty — The Ultimate Heavy Missile Platform

Rarity: Super Rare Faction: Regular Army Version: 6.16.0 AP Cost: 320 / 288 / 256 (Silver / Gold / Platinum) Combat Role: Aerial Heavy Artillery / Missile Barrage Traits: Stun, Evasion, Self-Strengthening.

Ulala for Liberty is the strongest of her three playable variants.

Her redesigned powered suit was created through the Metal Device Project's combat-strengthening program. Unlike her previous configurations, this version allows her to carry substantially heavier equipment without sacrificing aerial mobility.

Her most important change is the replacement of her previous handheld weapon with a gigantic missile pod.

The concept-art sheet specifically documents this change: because the huge missile pod is attached to the upgraded suit, the handheld firearm is removed.

Basic Attack — Six-Missile Barrage

Ulala for Liberty's flying suit launches six missiles during her normal attack.

This gives her a much more substantial projectile attack than simply relying on the original Huge Launcher configuration.

Her basic attack establishes the foundation of her missile-based combat style, allowing her to continuously pressure enemy formations.

Special Attack — Heavy Missile Deployment

Her special attack has two stages.

First activation: Heavy Missile Preparation

Ulala takes off and returns carrying a gigantic missile.

This changes her equipment configuration and prepares the upgraded missile system for its next attack.

Second activation: Heavy Missile Barrage

Once the large missile is equipped, another special activation fires the enormous missile alongside multiple smaller missiles.

This produces a considerably more destructive attack than her initial missile barrage.

The two-stage system is important: Ulala must first establish the heavy-missile configuration before she can unleash its full offensive potential.

Defensive Ability — Evasion Barrier

Ulala for Liberty possesses an evasion ability.

When evasion activates, she creates a stationary barrier at her position.

Her raw evasion percentage is listed at approximately 17.2%, which is not particularly impressive by itself.

However, the Korean unit guide specifically praises the timing and activation behavior of her evasion, noting that it can appear more reliable than certain units with a higher listed evasion percentage.

This makes her defensive ability more interesting than the raw number initially suggests.

Status Effect — Stun

SNK's official unit announcement identifies Ulala for Liberty as having the ability to inflict stun on enemy units.

This provides additional battlefield utility beyond her missile damage.

She is therefore not purely a damage-dealing aerial artillery unit; her attacks can also interfere with enemy formations.

Self-Strengthening — Every Deployment

This is arguably her most important ability.

SNK officially confirms that Ulala for Liberty strengthens herself every time she is deployed.

The Korean MSA unit guide provides the more detailed progression:

• Every deployment increases her Attack by 50%.
• Every deployment also increases her HP by 50%.
• The strengthening can stack up to five times.
• At maximum stacks, her special attack can inflict damage in the millions according to the guide.

This is what separates her from the other two variants.

She does not merely carry a larger weapon. She becomes progressively stronger throughout the battle as additional deployments accumulate.

Status Strengthening — CONFIRMED

Ulala for Liberty is eligible for both Attack and HP Status Strengthening.

This provides her with two additional upgrade categories that complement her already impressive self-strengthening ability.

Her existing deployment-based growth and her Status Strengthening eligibility make her particularly attractive as a long-term investment among Ulala's three versions.

Combat Advantages

• Six-missile normal attack.
• Two-stage heavy missile deployment.
• Powerful large-missile and small-missile combination.
• Stun capability.
• Evasion barrier.
• Attack and HP increase with every deployment.
• Up to five deployment-based strengthening stacks according to the Korean unit guide.
• Eligible for Attack and HP Status Strengthening.
• Can fly while carrying substantially heavier equipment.

Combat Weaknesses

• Requires special-attack activations to reach the heavy-missile firing configuration.
• Her offensive potential depends on accumulating deployment-based strengthening.
• Her listed raw evasion probability is only 17.2%, despite the favorable activation behavior reported by the community guide.
• Her enormous equipment and powered-suit configuration do not make her invulnerable to enemy attacks.

Combat Assessment

Ulala for Liberty combines three important advantages:

Offensive Growth: Her Attack increases with repeated deployments.

Defensive Growth: Her HP also increases with repeated deployments.

Heavy Artillery: Her upgraded missile system eventually allows her to unleash devastating combined missile barrages.

She therefore has the highest potential among Ulala's three variants.

Verdict: Rank #1 — The strongest Ulala variant.

2. Original Ulala — The Original Huge Launcher Pilot

Rarity: Super Rare Faction: Regular Army Version: 3.14.0 AP Cost: 280 / 252 / 224 (Silver / Gold / Platinum) Combat Role: Heavy Launcher / Defensive Frontline Traits: Evasion, Equipment HP.

Original Ulala introduces the fundamental combat concept behind all three versions: a compatible pilot operating a gigantic launcher through her specialized powered suit.

Her equipment includes the Mega Launcher, an integrated flight system, and anti-air radar.

The original concept-art sheet also describes a modular weapon arrangement with a three-barrel unit, smaller missile configuration, and rotating ammunition magazine.

Basic Attack — Standard Weapon Configuration

Ulala uses her original weapon configuration to attack enemy formations.

Her most recognizable equipment is the massive launcher carried by the powered suit.

Her weapon system is designed for heavy bombardment rather than ordinary rifle combat.

The anti-air radar is particularly important because it allows her to target airborne enemies without relying exclusively on visual aiming.

Special Attack — Mega Launcher Bombardment

Ulala deploys her enormous launcher and performs an aerial bombardment.

The weapon transforms her from a relatively conventional powered-suit pilot into a heavily equipped artillery unit.

However, deploying the launcher requires additional time.

This deployment delay is one of her most significant disadvantages.

Equipment HP — The Launcher Acts as Additional Protection

Original Ulala has a distinctive defensive mechanic.

She possesses evasion, but when the launcher equipment is attached, she can no longer evade.

Instead, the attached launcher provides additional HP.

This is not simply an ordinary increase to Ulala's own HP: the unit guide explains that the added durability belongs to the equipment itself.

When the launcher is destroyed and she replaces it, the equipment's additional HP is restored.

She also throws away the destroyed launcher, which produces an attack hit during the replacement sequence.

This allows Original Ulala to survive surprisingly long engagements, particularly when enemies cannot stun her.

Combat Advantages

• Additional durability through her launcher equipment.
• Launcher replacement restores equipment HP.
• Destroyed launcher produces an attack hit when discarded.
• Can replenish her launcher equipment.
• Evasion is available outside the attached-launcher configuration.
• Eligible for Attack and HP Status Strengthening.
• Her AP-to-durability ratio is considered respectable in the Korean unit analysis.

Combat Weaknesses

• Significant delay before the launcher is equipped.
• Evasion becomes unavailable while the launcher is attached.
• Her special attack in the attached configuration is criticized for poor damage.
• Homing behavior can waste attacks against unintended targets.
• Stun can interrupt her otherwise respectable defensive performance.
• Her damage output is considerably less impressive than her ability to absorb damage.

Status Strengthening — CONFIRMED

Original Ulala is eligible for both Attack and HP Status Strengthening.

This is an important advantage over Special Ulala.

Unlike For Liberty, however, Original Ulala does not possess the same documented deployment-based Attack and HP growth.

Combat Assessment

Original Ulala is an unusual hybrid between a heavy artillery unit and a defensive frontline.

Her launcher provides a separate layer of durability, allowing her to replace destroyed equipment and continue fighting.

However, her deployment delay and comparatively weak special-attack performance restrict her offensive contribution.

She is nevertheless more versatile and more defensively interesting than Special Ulala.

Verdict: Rank #2 — A durable original configuration, but with a lower damage ceiling than For Liberty.

3. Special Ulala — The Maximum-Output Launcher

Rarity: Rare Faction: Regular Army Version: 4.7.0 AP Cost: 240 / 228 / 216 / 204 (Bronze / Silver / Gold / Platinum) Combat Role: Multi-Hit Launcher / Special Mission Support.

Special Ulala is a modified version of her original powered-suit configuration.

Her parents prepare the new equipment for a special operation despite the assignment being arranged suddenly.

Because of her exceptional compatibility with the MDP suit, she can operate the Huge Launcher at maximum output.

Starting Configuration — Launcher Already Equipped

Unlike Original Ulala, Special Ulala starts the battle as a ground unit already carrying the Huge Launcher.

She does not need to spend the same amount of time deploying the launcher equipment before attacking with it.

This is an important difference between the two versions.

Special Attack — Multi-Hit Laser

Her special attack uses a laser with multi-hit properties.

This makes her useful in situations where a player specifically needs a unit capable of repeatedly striking a target.

The Korean unit guide notes that Special Ulala can be selected when the player lacks other suitable multi-hit units.

However, once a deck has access to stronger multi-hit alternatives, her usefulness decreases substantially.

Combat Advantages

• Starts with the Huge Launcher equipped.
• Avoids the original variant's initial launcher deployment delay.
• Can operate the launcher at maximum output.
• Multi-hit laser attack.
• Lower AP cost than Original Ulala and For Liberty.
• Useful as a specialized multi-hit option.

Combat Weaknesses

• Multi-hit specialization is comparatively narrow.
• Her usefulness decreases when stronger multi-hit units become available.
• No confirmed Attack or HP Status Strengthening eligibility.
• Does not possess For Liberty's deployment-based Attack and HP scaling.
• Does not have the upgraded six-missile basic attack and two-stage heavy missile configuration of For Liberty.

Status Strengthening — NOT LISTED

Special Ulala does not appear in the MSA Wiki's current Attack-category Status Strengthening eligibility list.

Therefore, I would not assign her Attack and HP Status Strengthening eligibility without additional evidence.

Combat Assessment

Special Ulala improves the convenience of Original Ulala's launcher configuration by beginning the battle with the weapon already equipped.

Her multi-hit laser gives her a specific tactical purpose.

However, she lacks the broader combat growth and upgraded missile package that make For Liberty substantially more dangerous.

Verdict: Rank #3 — A specialized multi-hit alternative with a narrower overall combat role.

4. Three-Variant Combat Comparison

| Combat Category | Original | Special | For Liberty | |---|---|---|---| | Rarity | Super Rare | Rare | Super Rare | | AP at Platinum | 224 | 204 | 256 | | Main weapon | Mega Launcher | Huge Launcher | Giant Missile Pod | | Starting launcher configuration | Requires deployment | Already equipped | Missile system | | Main offensive feature | Aerial bombardment | Multi-hit laser | Six missiles and heavy barrage | | Stun | Not confirmed here | Not confirmed here | Yes | | Evasion | Yes, outside launcher state | Not confirmed here | Yes, barrier | | Attack strengthening | Eligible | Not listed | Eligible | | HP strengthening | Eligible | Not listed | Eligible | | Deployment-based growth | None documented | None documented | Attack and HP | | Five-stack scaling | No | No | Yes, per community guide |

AP values are taken from the MSA unit list. Attack and HP eligibility comes from the Status Strengthening page. Combat mechanics are drawn from the Korean unit analyses and SNK's official For Liberty announcement.

5. Final Variant Ranking

1st — Ulala for Liberty

Her upgraded missile platform provides the strongest overall offensive package.

She can launch six missiles with her normal attack, deploy a gigantic missile, and then unleash a combined heavy and small-missile barrage.

Her stun and evasion abilities provide additional utility, while her Attack and HP increase with repeated deployment.

The five-stack growth mechanic gives her the highest documented damage and durability potential among the three variants.

2nd — Original Ulala

Original Ulala is a surprisingly durable unit thanks to her launcher equipment.

The ability to replenish its additional HP when replacing destroyed equipment provides a respectable defensive mechanic.

She also qualifies for Attack and HP Status Strengthening.

However, her long launcher deployment delay and relatively weak damage output prevent her from matching For Liberty's combat potential.

3rd — Special Ulala

Special Ulala has a practical advantage: she begins with her launcher already equipped and can immediately use its multi-hit laser.

Her low AP requirement is also appealing.

Unfortunately, her specialization becomes less valuable when stronger multi-hit units are available, and she lacks the upgrade eligibility and scaling advantages of the other two versions.

6. Final Combat Verdict

Ulala's three variants represent different stages of the Metal Device Project's heavy-weapon development.

Original Ulala establishes the enormous launcher system and its distinctive defensive equipment mechanic.

Special Ulala simplifies its deployment and focuses on a multi-hit laser.

Ulala for Liberty takes the concept much further by replacing the earlier handheld weapon with a gigantic missile pod, improving aerial mobility, adding stun and evasion utility, and introducing powerful Attack and HP growth with every deployment.

FINAL VERDICT: Ulala for Liberty is the strongest of the three variants, Original Ulala is second, and Special Ulala is third.

Her For Liberty version is not merely a cosmetic redesign. It represents a substantial evolution of her entire combat platform.

ULALA — PSYCHOLOGICAL DEEP DIVE

1. Who Is Ulala Really?

Personality: Capable, confident, independent-minded, occasionally impatient, and sometimes troubled by her family's overprotectiveness.

Ulala is the third compatible pilot of the Regular Army's Metal Device Project.

Her exceptional compatibility with her specially developed powered suit allows her to operate weapons considerably heavier than those used by ordinary soldiers. Her official profile even describes her as possessing the combat strength of an entire aerial division.

However, her privileged circumstances come with complications.

Both of her parents are researchers involved in the MDP. Although their work benefits her greatly, their excessive protectiveness sometimes makes her uncomfortable.

Unlike Perche, who is motivated by her dream of becoming a hero, or Ami, who initially doubts her own abilities, Ulala's character revolves around managing her exceptional position and maintaining some independence from her parents.

Core Characteristics:

• Exceptionally compatible with experimental equipment.
• Confident in her combat capabilities.
• Independent-minded.
• Wants to participate in important military operations.
• Sometimes frustrated by her parents' involvement.
• Physically affected by the demands of her powered suit.
• Has an enormous appetite.
• Still needs to learn when to follow orders rather than act independently.

2. Her Family — Two Researchers and One Overprotective Daughter

One of the most important details about Ulala is that both of her parents work on the Metal Device Project.

They are directly involved in developing the powered suit specifically designed for her.

Her unusually high compatibility allows them to equip her with powerful weapons and advanced flight capabilities.

However, the relationship isn't entirely comfortable.

Ulala's official character description mentions that some people envy her privileged circumstances, but Ulala herself finds her parents' excessive protectiveness troublesome.

This creates an interesting contradiction.

Other people may see her as fortunate because her parents can provide her with exceptional equipment, but she doesn't necessarily enjoy having them constantly involved in her affairs.

Her parents genuinely care about her, but their concern can become intrusive.

The Hunger Problem

The physical demands of the powered suit create another concern.

Ulala frequently suffers from hunger because of the equipment's enhancements.

By the time her For Liberty version arrives, her parents have become sufficiently worried about her appetite that they are working on portable rations designed to keep her full longer.

It's a humorous detail, but it also demonstrates that the MDP's improvements come with physical costs.

Even Ulala, despite having exceptional compatibility, cannot completely avoid the consequences of operating such advanced equipment.

3. DESTRUCTION AND REGENERATION — Her First Major Mission

Extra Ops #112 — September 2018

Ulala's first major storyline introduces her as a capable military operative rather than an inexperienced recruit.

She and Special Perche are dispatched to investigate unusual energy readings coming from the ruins of Sol Dae Rokker.

Their investigation reveals that the ancient entity has awakened as Sol Dae Rokker Arche.

The two MDP pilots engage it and successfully destroy it.

Ulala demonstrates the effectiveness of her aerial artillery equipment, working alongside Perche to eliminate the threat.

After the battle, she asks Perche to check their surroundings.

Unfortunately, she discovers that her teammate has collapsed from exhaustion.

Psychological Significance

This mission establishes Ulala's sense of responsibility toward her teammate.

She is capable of fighting independently, but she doesn't treat the mission as a purely personal achievement.

She remains attentive to Perche's condition and makes sure the area is safe after the battle.

Her first appearance therefore introduces a capable pilot who can cooperate with others rather than simply rely on her exceptional equipment.

4. MY BEACH — Her More Casual Side

Extra Ops #247 — August 2021

MY BEACH gives Ulala a considerably lighter appearance.

She joins Perche and Ami in a competition against Sisilia and Veronica to collect bananas for a group of mysterious monkeys.

During the competition, Ulala encounters Veronica in a slippery hallway.

Despite her advanced powered suit and extraordinary combat capabilities, she struggles to move across the floor.

It's a humorous contrast between her military strength and an ordinary environmental inconvenience.

The event also demonstrates that Ulala is comfortable participating in activities alongside her fellow MDP pilots outside serious military operations.

Her enormous appetite remains a recurring theme throughout these lighter appearances.

5. SPECIAL ULALA — Maximum Launcher Output

Her Special variant demonstrates another aspect of her relationship with the MDP.

Her parents prepare a modified powered suit for a special assignment, allowing her to operate the Huge Launcher at maximum output.

The preparation is particularly notable because the operation was arranged suddenly, yet her parents still managed to provide the equipment.

This reinforces how closely her family is involved with her military career.

It also shows that Ulala's exceptional compatibility gives the researchers an opportunity to develop equipment that would be impractical for other pilots.

6. NEW GENERATIONS! — Independence Versus Military Discipline

Another Story — Regular Army

NEW GENERATIONS! gives Ulala an opportunity to interact with the younger Regular Army recruits and her fellow MDP pilots.

During the initial training activities, she participates alongside Perche and Ami.

However, when Marco announces the approaching movements of the Ptolemaic Army and Amadeus Syndicate, the recruits are divided according to their assignments.

Ulala becomes disappointed when Reika doesn't try to persuade Marco to allow them to join the operation.

When the Rebel Army launches its attack, Perche, Ami, and Ulala decide to pursue Norah and Loretta rather than remain at their assigned positions.

Their pursuit turns out to be part of an enemy diversion.

While the three MDP pilots are away, Grazia attacks the Regular Army base using Dragon Nosuke+.

The recruits remaining at the base are forced to defend themselves until the P.F. Squad returns.

After the operation, Marco reprimands Perche, Ami, and Ulala for disobeying his orders.

Psychological Significance

This chapter reveals one of Ulala's weaknesses.

Her confidence in her combat capabilities can make her eager to participate in battles, even when her assigned responsibility is elsewhere.

She isn't necessarily acting out of malice or arrogance. She simply wants to contribute and believes that her equipment can make a difference.

However, her decision demonstrates that military effectiveness isn't determined by individual firepower alone.

Sometimes the most important responsibility is remaining at the position where others depend on you.

Ulala's lesson: Being one of the strongest MDP pilots doesn't mean she can disregard the wider battlefield situation.

7. FOR LIBERTY — A Stronger Suit and Greater Responsibility

The For Liberty upgrade represents the most substantial development of Ulala's equipment.

Her powered suit is heavily modified, allowing her to carry more massive weaponry while maintaining effortless flight.

The handheld firearm is removed to accommodate the gigantic missile pod.

Her parents are once again involved in her development, but this time their attention shifts toward solving the physical consequences of the upgrade.

They are working on portable food that will keep her full for longer.

Psychologically, this version reinforces the same contradiction that has followed Ulala throughout her MDP career:

Her capabilities continue to grow, but her equipment places increasing demands on her body.

She is becoming a more formidable soldier without escaping the everyday difficulties that come with being an experimental pilot.

8. Relationships with Her Comrades

Perche: Her fellow MDP pilot and partner during DESTRUCTION AND REGENERATION. Ulala works alongside her to defeat Sol Dae Rokker Arche and checks on her after she collapses. Their cooperation also appears in later MDP group operations.

Ami: The second compatible MDP pilot. Ulala works alongside Ami and Perche during training and NEW GENERATIONS! Their relationship is primarily that of teammates.

Marco Rossi: Her commanding officer. He assigns the MDP pilots their missions and reprimands them after they disobey their orders in NEW GENERATIONS!

Tarma and Eri: Senior Regular Army personnel who supervise and interact with the younger soldiers during training and military operations.

Reika: A fellow Regular Army soldier whose decision to remain at the base frustrates Ulala. Their disagreement concerns military priorities, not a personal rivalry.

Rita and Avvio: Fellow members of the younger Regular Army group. Their training and battlefield activities provide the wider environment in which Ulala operates.

Midori and the wider Regular Army: Ulala operates within the same faction and military organization, but the available stories do not establish particularly close personal bonds with every member.

9. Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

• Exceptional equipment compatibility.
• Strong combat confidence.
• Capable of operating enormous weapons.
• Independent aerial combat capabilities.
• Willingness to participate in dangerous assignments.
• Cooperates with other MDP pilots.
• Maintains her enthusiasm despite the demands of her equipment.

Weaknesses:

• Her parents' overprotectiveness can frustrate her.
• Her powered suit creates an unusually large appetite.
• Can become disappointed when excluded from operations.
• Sometimes prioritizes pursuing enemies over following orders.
• Her impressive combat abilities do not eliminate her physical limitations.

10. Final Psychological Assessment

Ulala is an exceptionally capable soldier whose life is closely connected to the Metal Device Project.

Her parents' research gives her access to equipment that surpasses the capabilities of ordinary powered-suit pilots, but their involvement also makes it difficult for her to enjoy complete independence.

Her Extra Ops appearances establish her as a reliable aerial artillery specialist who can cooperate with Perche and the other MDP pilots.

NEW GENERATIONS! reveals a more imperfect side of her personality: despite her strength, she can become too eager to enter combat and overlook the responsibilities assigned to her.

Her For Liberty upgrade further demonstrates the costs of her growing capabilities, particularly her constant hunger and dependence on specialized equipment.

FINAL VERDICT: Ulala is not simply the MDP's strongest compatible pilot. She is a soldier trying to manage an extraordinary position while dealing with overprotective parents, demanding equipment, and the ordinary frustrations of military life. Her strength is exceptional, but she still has room to mature as a teammate and independent soldier.

She can carry an enormous missile pod into the sky, but apparently still needs her parents to pack her lunch.
