Strategy

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

On turn 1, put a Sniper in the nearby forest and Warp Mathilda across the river. Mathilda will draw Gazelle's attention, smoke him, and harass the enemy from behind. The Archers and Snipers are standard fare; just keep an eye on the Witches.

You'll probably have to face another map spawn here. It's better to draw him out and face him down here than risk distraction at the sluice gate.

Map Turn Count: 4
