Retribution

Location Empire Territory Boss(es) Rogue Grappler, Swordmaster, Sniper

“	Your father was by no means a great ruler. But it was Lord Arundel who stoked the fury of the people and directed that fury at your father. Duke Aegir is not perfect, but he's not the villain in this.	”	— Lysithea, to Ferdinand

Plot

Main article: Retribution (paralogue)/Script

Duke Aegir is captured by rogues who want revenge on him for his previous abuses of power during his time as the Prime Minister of Adrestia. A soldier reports this turn of events to Ferdinand and explains that after escaping from house arrest in Enbarr, he was last seen fleeing through Hrym territory; the territory has erupted in rioting. Accompanied by Lysithea, Ferdinand sets out to rescue his father. The group arrives in Hrym territory and puts down the revolt, but learns from its leader that Duke Aegir is already dead, much to Ferdinand's shock and horror.

After the group returns from Hrym, Lysithea recounts the events that led up to the riot. When Emperor Ionius IX tried to consolidate power during his reign, the Hrym family tried to defect from Adrestia to Leicester with the support of House Ordelia of the Alliance. The Empire suppressed the rebellion and installed Duke Aegir as a puppet leader. Fearing that the emperor would seize total control of power in Adrestia, the six great noble families—Houses Bergliez, Hevring, Varley, Vestra, Gerth, and Aegir—plus House Hrym launched the Insurrection of the Seven and reduced Ionius IX to a figurehead. Duke Aegir harshly taxed the people of Hrym during his reign, until he was eventually removed from power and replaced by Lord Arundel. Arundel proved to be an even worse governor; he taxed the people even more heavily and conscripted them for military duty on pain of execution, and claimed to be acting in the name of Duke Aegir. Lamenting the late Duke's fate, Ferdinand vows to atone for his father's sins.

Beginning log

Boss data

On Maddening, some stats are separated by a '~'. The stats to the left of the ~ are taken during Chapter 17 of the Azure Moon and Verdant Wind routes, the earliest possible point where this paralogue may be undertaken; the stats to the right of the ~ are taken from Chapter 17 of the Silver Snow route, Chapter 18 of the Azure Moon and Verdant Wind routes, and later, at which point these bosses gain two levels.

Strategy

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

Greater rewards are earned in this paralogue based on the number of villages saved; villages are saved when the enemy that targets them is no longer on the map, which can be accomplished in two ways: defeating the enemy directly, or defeating the boss they start closest to. Defeating the Grappler or Swordmaster bosses will cause all the enemies that start in their section of the map to leave, creating safer areas to the south and greatly reducing the number of enemies that must be defeated; defeating both halts the reinforcements. However, attacking the boss Grappler will cause the Assassins near the boss Swordmaster to begin moving towards the villages; as such, it is best to only attack the Grappler once the Assassins can be intercepted or Swordmaster defeated. The enemies to the south are the closest threat, and the villages south are the closest to being taken by enemies, so focusing on the south first is more beneficial.

The bosses themselves never move, do not stand on defensive terrain, and have stats comparable to the other enemies present—each of them has lower speed, slightly lower strength, and slightly higher defense and resistance than other enemies of the same class. None of the bosses have any sources of effective damage—beyond Atrocity and War Master's Strike—but all have fairly low resistance; they can be defeated by strong magic users or simply overpowered.

Over terrain, the boss Grappler starts 11 tiles away from the nearest starting position, 13 going around enemies; a 7-move flier boosted by Stride can reach the boss to attack at 1-range. There is a point north of the boss from which a unit with 5 range could attack, however it is blocked by a Swordmaster, in range of two other Swordmasters, a Grappler, and a Fortress Knight with a Tomahawk, and is six tiles away at closest, out of the movement range of Snipers and Mages. The boss Swordmaster starts 20 tiles away from the nearest starting position, requiring some combination of Stride, Warp, and a Dancer to reach him on turn 1. The boss Sniper starts 12 tiles away from the nearest starting position going through enemies, 14 going around. Defeating the Sniper does not cause any enemies to leave like the other two bosses, so there is no added benefit to defeating him early.

Clearing this paralogue in one turn is possible; however, it requires defeating at least 28 enemies on Maddening in one turn—only 11 enemies can be defeated on player phase at most, though every player unit cannot be used to attack while also defeating both southern bosses. Wrath, obtained from mastering Warrior, Vantage, available on Hero or from mastering Mercenary, or their battalion forms Battalion Wrath and Battalion Vantage are greatly helpful in enemy phase combat, as is the Sacred Shield gambit. Notably, Dimitri learns both Battalion Wrath and Battalion Vantage through his authority—which he has a boon in; Petra learns Battalion Wrath at C authority and has a boon in swords and axes, making it easier for her to certify for Mercenary and Hero; and Sylvain learns Battalion Vantage at C authority and has a boon in axes, easing his access to Warrior. The Retribution gambit is practically required to clear this in one turn, available to Silver Snow, Azure Moon, and Verdant Wind through the Indech Sword Fighters battalion (which requires A authority to equip), or through the Kingdom Archers only in Azure Moon; alternately, the Counterattack ability can be granted through the Chalice of Beginnings, available through DLC.

At least three units are needed to be in range of every enemy that does not leave with the Grappler and Swordmaster bosses; there is no position in range of both the Sniper boss and the central Warlock or the Warlock and the easternmost Swordmaster. Additionally, while the position three tiles east of the Sniper boss is in range of every unit to the west, the Wyvern Riders present may block the Warrior south of them, so defeating one of the Wyvern Riders or the Warrior may be required for a one-turn clear. For slower clears, the enemies north will not begin moving until they are provoked; the southern enemies will wait as well, but the enemies moving towards the villages encourage faster play, at least until they are saved.
