This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.
New Units:
Linde: Starts as a level 1 Mage. Difficult to train but her Aura tome can deal solid damage.
Jake: Highly valuable due to his extensive attack range without retaliation.
Key Points:
Be cautious around Jake. He possesses an Arrowspate with a range of 3-10 that is deadly against flying units. Make sure that Caeda she stays out of his range. To safely recruit him, you can reclass or promote Caeda, or get her close with a Warp staff.
No reinforcements appear in this chapter.
Walkthrough:
Initial Actions: Start by moving units out of enemy Ballisticians’ range. Focus on eliminating incoming Pegasus Knights.
Race to the Southeastern Village: Make sure you reach the village before the Thief. Clear Mercenaries in the area. Visit both the village and Anna’s nearby house. Visit the shop if needed.
Heading North: Utilize the save point before proceeding further.
Strategy against Ballisticians: Engage the first Ballistician with a Cavalier at two spaces away. This move will only draw one Horseman. Defeat the Horseman, then focus on the Ballistician.
Engaging Other Enemies: Use a General to attract the Sniper wielding the Killer Bow. Draw in Khozen next. This move triggers an enemy Cavalier charge. Retreat to the chokepoint. Use your General as a shield, preventing casualties, while dealing with the Cavalier.
Closing the Battle: With the Cavalier units defeated, you're in a dominant position. Make use of the two blind spots shared by Jake and the final Ballistician to defeat your remaining foes. Once it's safe, recruit Jake.
