What Happened to Corrin

So Corrin isn't actually with Hoshido or with Nohr... [...] And if that really is the case, there's an obvious third option. Someone else, not a Nohrian or a Hoshidan, must have taken her.
— Lianna

An Orchestrated Battle (Japanese: 仕組まれた戦い An Arranged Battle) is the twelfth chapter of Fire Emblem Warriors. During this chapter, Ryoma and Xander begin an all-out battle with each other, forcing the Aytolisian army and their allies to intervene.

Plot

Main article: An Orchestrated Battle/Script

As soon as the two parties joined up, Hinoka and Camilla immediately demand why their enemy kingdom is with the Aytolisians while Sakura and Elise try to calm them down. Hinoka and Takumi state that they refuse to work with the Nohrians since they kidnapped Corrin, only for Camilla and Leo to respond that it was clearly a Hoshidan that took her. Lianna steps in, asking if anyone has actually seen Corrin, with Rowan, Sakura, and Elise all saying none of them have. From this, Lianna concludes that someone not from the two kingdoms must have taken her. Darios adds that perhaps they wanted to pit Hoshido and Nohr against each other, before realizing that they need to stop the two armies before it is too late.

At the bridge, Ryoma demands to Xander that he returns Corrin, only for Xander to refute it, saying it was Hoshido that took Corrin instead. As the tension between the two rises, an arrow flies past Ryoma towards Xander. Xander deflects it, saying that the time to talk is over, leaving Ryoma wondering who fired the arrow. Xander then leads a charge to battle, to which Ryoma responds by leading his army against Nohr.

During the battle, the Aytolisians and their allies gradually make their way to the two eldest princes, careful in seizing forts to maintain balance between the two armies. Upon capturing the bases of both Hoshido and Nohr however, Sakura or Elise are shocked to find that their oldest brother has suddenly disappeared without explanation.

Summary

The Hoshidan and Nohrian armies, led by Rowan and Lianna, meet up, but the situation is tense. The twins rush to the battlefield to keep them from fighting, where they find Ryoma and Xander.

Strategy

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

The key to this map is to keep the number of forts between Hoshido and Nohr balanced. If one has drastically more forts than the other, you risk one of the princes overpowering and defeating the other, leading to a game over.

Trivia

  • This is the first map in the Fire Emblem series to have third army units (although they would not be named as such until Three Houses). It is also the only map to have both NPC and third army units at the same time.
