Role[edit | edit source]

Jake serves as the main character in Advance Wars: Dual Strike. He starts off as a young recruit in Omega Land under Rachel's supervision.

Personality[edit | edit source]

In the English version of the game, Jake is a brash CO who speaks in mostly slang terms, mostly those of street gangs ("Get the plates because you got served!") or internet users ("Owned!"). He is also very sociable and is able to convince even Hawke to join the party after the destruction of the first Black Obelisk. His CO powers and tag affinity names generally are mainstream musical terms.

By contrast, Jake is more professional and calm in the Japanese version and other European translations. He is still friendly, however.

Relationships[edit | edit source]

Although he is yet to meet Andy, he admires the young Cosmo Land mechanic. As her number one pupil, he feels very close to Rachel, who describes him as like a younger brother. Being a fellow tank commander, he also bonds well with Jess. There is also some possible implied romance between him and Sasha, although if anything came of it is yet to be seen.

Skills[edit | edit source]

Jake is a mixed bag of movement, indirect attack range, and plains terrain firepower boost.
