Crisis in Agustria: Difference between revisions

Right away on the first turn of the chapter, Nordion Castle will be attacked by [[Elliot]] and his squad of [[Lance Knight|Lance]] and [[Axe Knight]]s, where [[Lachesis]] and her three knights—[[Eve (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Eve]], [[Eva]], and [[Alva (Genealogy of the Holy War)|Alva]]—are stationed to protect. Keeping all three of Lachesis' knights alive by the end of the chapter awards you the [[Knight Ring]], which gives a unit carrying it the [[Canto]] skill; this is the only way of getting the ring in the game, as there is no alternative method of obtaining it in the second generation if no one [[Inheritance|inherited]] it. Being able to reach and save the knights in the first place heavily boils down to luck, since the player needs to be reliant on them holding out their own against the numerous lance-wielding cavalry ganging up on them (whom they have [[weapon triangle]] disadvantage against due to wielding [[sword]]s) and Nordion Castle is very far away from the player's starting point, meaning it's possible for at least one of the knights to die before the player is able to do anything to save them. Rush with your mounted units and quickly defeat all the enemies. Since [[Midir]] can't counter at close range, the enemies might prioritize to attack him, which can make him usable as bait to lure the enemies away from them, but it's risky if Sigurd isn't close enough to him. Recruiting Lachesis will make her knights follow her instead, which can let her lead them away from danger, but their AI will prioritize fighting enemies in range whenever possible. And even then, this can make training her difficult since the knights can steal her kills and/or get themselves killed. Additionally, if Nordion Castle gets seized by enemies after Lachesis leaves the castle without sending one of your own units to protect it, the knights will despawn, which counts as getting them killed, disqualifying you from obtaining the Knight Ring.
