Sub-bosses

Main articles: Hubert, Petra, Bernadetta, Lysithea, Raphael, Ignatz, Hilda, and Leonie

The characters in question (sans Hubert) do not appear if they were recruited and are instead replaced by Imperial/Alliance Generals respectively.

Due to technical limitations, The sub-bosses' stats have been split onto separate pages.

Strategy

This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

This battle is like a repeat of The Battle of the Eagle and Lion in part one. However, perma-death is on this time if you play in classic, there is no reward for beating the most units, and instead if a route the enemy objective, you only need to take out the other house leaders.

Your strategy should be to aim for Edelgard and Claude, both in there exclusive classes. Defeating Bernadetta and trying to take the central platform will cause Edelgard to set it on fire. If this happens, move your grounded units away, and go around.

Edelgard is the harder of the two, having the bomb ability, and standing in a healing tile. Try to take her out using multiple units on one turn.

Claude is a little easier. Try attacking with magic where possible, exploiting his lower resistance stat. Note that he possesses Flying Effect Null, meaning that bows won't inflict bonus damage. He will call in reinforcements above and to the right of the map, so be wary of them.

Trivia

• In older versions of Three Houses, a second Hilda could appear as a reinforcement for the Alliance with the same stats that Hilda would have as an enemy; her portrait could display as someone else's if Hilda was recruited and deployed as an adjutant.
