General comments

Wave 2: Tone down black boxes or space their spawns out more

Wave 3-5: Giant spam is too much, everything happens too fast (check demo file)

Wave 6: Remove giant scouts, reduce the move speed on the bosses
You should also test how the engineer boss behaves if the heavy is killed before the engineer and make sure that it doesn't bug out.

Miscellaneous: Having simultaneous tank spawns all the time gets a bit repetitive and boring. You should mix up the tank spawns so it's not always two spawns at once.

The judges will have to expand upon this whenever they get to your mission. Overall the mission has solid bones and good ideas, but needs some fine-tuning to bring it down to advanced difficulty.

Judges Present: Yoovy, Erikku, PDA Expert

No Strike

-Scout (Yoovy)
-Demoman (Erikku)
-Soldier (Mo)
-Engineer (PDA Expert)

Demo: https://us-testing.moonlight.tf:27107/de...30.dem.zip

Wave 1:
-Remove the Extended Concheror Soldiers that are squaded with the Steel Gauntlets, the Giant Shotgun Heavy moving at almost default move speed is too much on a map like Mannworks

Wave 2:
-Felt Fine

Wave 3:
-Give the Armored Conch Soldiers a 35% move speed penalty to make their tanky nature easier to hit

Wave 4:
-The first half of the wave feels harder than the last bit, there are too many things that need major attention such as: 2 Tanks, Giant Scouts, Giant Burst Fire Soldiers with Kritz Medics, it divides the team up really thin and makes the last half seem easier as its just a few Giant Demomen with Giant Heavies, so specifically just make the first half on par on difficulty with the second half

Wave 5:
-Starting point of the wave is a hassle, Samurai Demos and Giant Burst Fire Demos charging everywhere is pure chaos and not enjoyable to try and aim at them, remove the increased charge duration of the Giant Demos or even out-right remove their shield, can also replace the Samurai Demos with a less lethal robot if you don't want to remove the Giant Demos shield (but please make the Giant Demos charge duration normal if you don't remove the shield).
-The Giant Heavies at the last subwaves don't need Armored Kritzkrieg Medics, the shields and abundance of danger the robots carry is a strong enough push force even without crits.

Wave 6:
-Unique reference but the bosses can honestly just be wiped from the wave, mission should end when the last tank dies.

NO STRIKE
Judges present: M1, Package, Average
Demo link: https://us-testing.moonlight.tf:27107/de...74.dem.zip

Overall
-Many of the giants were spawned in such a way that they would stack, as one would spawn on the far side and the next would spawn on the near side. Try spawning them in pairs of two on both sides to prevent this from happening in the future.

Wave 1
-The first subwave needed a bit of extra stopping power.

Wave 3
-Decrease the maxactive of the commons by 1 to prevent them from collecting in huge numbers (spawncount 4 maxactive 8 -> spawncount 4 maxactive 7, for instance)

Wave 6
-This wave feels extremely unfinished. Not only has the mission gone on long enough by the time this wave happens, it's also extremely high cash and doesn't threaten outside of simple damage requirements. It's not very interesting.
-I'd recommend straight up cutting this one out and maybe changing wave 5 to feel a bit more like a finale.
