Competitive Play[edit | edit source]
Unsurprisingly, as a CO designed to be deliberately underpowered, Flak is generally regarded to be among the worst COs for use in any remotely serious battle. Specializing in Luck damage is unreliable in it of itself, but there are two additional factors that further cement Flak's uselessness. He is one of the few COs to have bad Luck which can often undermine his damage output even when his good Luck is high. Additionally, he holds the dubious distinction of having CO Powers which can negatively impact the user. However, none of these can even compare to the fact that Flak is completely outclassed by Nell in nearly every conceivable way; she lacks bad Luck, her good Luck values are higher (with the exception of her maximum Day-to-Day Luck in Dual Strike), and her CO Powers cost just as much as Flak's.
Therefore, it is highly advised not to use Flak in any kind of competitive battle if one's primary goal is to win.

- Coincidentally, both COs are never present during the Campaign of Dual Strike.
- In Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, Flak mentions that he is bald due to one of Lash's previous experiments having gone wrong.
