How to unlock the The Strongest Warrior achievement in Hard Corps: Uprising - Definitive Guide
First of all, in Arcade you do NOT have access to your Rising Mode characters. You will start at 2-3 units of health (depending on character), and 2 reserve lives. You have access to Dodge, Ambush, Bullet Reflect, Vault, and Power Tackle. These abilities are context sensitive and are activated with the B button.
Be sure to practice in rising mode, especially trickier levels like stages 6-8. Turn off all upgrades except the above ones, and set your health to 2 or 3 , depending on character. I like to keep a life count at 9, and after beating levels comfortably, start setting goals. An example would be beating all of stage 4 without losing more than 3 lives.
There are a lot of free lives to pick up in Arcade Mode to help you along the way, and a guide where these are can be found in the solution for "Disposable Warrior".
Even so, if you cannot get past a checkpoint within 3 lives, you aren't ready for Arcade.
Over time, your continues will raise. When you start you have 3 of them. Eventually that number will rise to around 20, then 573. Tentative time played is in the 15-20 hour range.
Lastly, do not be discouraged! This is a hard game, but with enough practice you can pull it through. I never thought I would beat level 4 and now I can do it with my eyes closed!
Best of luck! Any suggestions? Drop them in a comment.
So just practice the levels in "Rising" mode, upgrade your characters (naturally, using the alligator's in level 2, or the cranes in level 5), get all the "Star Chips" and finish up your "S" ranks.
Then, get to 20 hours and go for it!!!
These credits should also greatly help in getting the "The definition of a Warrior" (no weapon power-ups) and "World Peace" (Arcade Co-op) achievements.
-- hope this helps.

Beat the game in Arcade Mode. There isn't much more to this than that, but here's what we call "going the extra mile:"
For this achievement, and any other that requires playing through Arcade Mode (again, excluding "I'll make them pay...") since you gradually get more Credits the more you play the game (and eventually "unlimited,") they eventually become easier and easier. Just take your time, have fun in Rising Mode, make some high scores...When it's time to get down to business, you'll have more than enough chances to finish the game. As long as you can beat every section with 3 lives, you're golden.
