Your new recruits are Alcryst, a bowman with a little less Strength but far more Speed than Etie who can one-shot fliers other than Hortensia and Rosado on this map with his Steel Bow; Lapis, another swift swordswoman with your first smash weapon, and Citrinne, another solid Mage packing your first 1-3 range Thunder tome. At the start of the battle, the southwestern Sword Flier is just begging to be shot by Alcryst. Oblige her, have your mages rip up the northwest Lance Armor, and have everyone else tear up the Lance Fighter. Feel free to try out Lapis' Iron Blade on the Lance Fighter to see how smash weapons work and how they can benefit you in battle. Send some axe-wielders north to intercept the incoming Lance Fighters and some mage killers south to deal with the Mages. On turn 2, the next wave consisting of two Axe Cavaliers, two Sword Fliers, and an Archer will aggro. You can use the collapsed part of the bridge to engage the Archer at 2 range without facing the cavalry. Once this wave is dead, you have a moment to rest and collect yourself. | |||
When you pull the two Sword Armors, two each of Archers, Sword Fliers, and Axe Cavaliers will aggro with them. Citrinne has enough power at base to one-round a Sword Armor with Fire and Divinely Inspiring support. If you have another good magic-user who can one-round the other Sword Armor with Surge, so much the better. Have your bowmen take up intercept positions on the north and south ends so they can dispose of the fliers. Once the group comes down on you, overwhelm the Axe Cavaliers with Alear and Lapis, then kill the Archers on the following turn. Note that Hortensia and her cronies won't aggro until Hortensia can attack from 1 range, so you can play around that to keep your backline protected. | |||
Hortensia is the first boss in the game to have a Dark Sync with an Emblem. This means that their Engage meter never runs out and they will use Engage attacks with impunity. When you're ready to rock, place Louis on one of the Protection Tiles and have Alear face Rosado. Fortunately, Louis' ridiculous bulk means he should be able to shrug off Hortensia's All for One. From there, finish Rosado off with Warp Ragnarok, use Lodestar Rush to rip through one of Hortensia's health bars, and overwhelm the rest of the enemies before they can get another turn in. | |||
