Strategy
This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody. |
New Units:
- Decide between two mediocre pre-promotes, Samson for better stats in the right village or Arran with better equipment in the left village.
- Xane, a special unit that can transform into others for five turns.
Primary Objectives:
- Defeat the Dracoknights.
- Quickly protect villages from a Thief on Turn 5 using your cavalry.
- Secure northwest forts to block potential enemy reinforcements.
Considerations:
- Keep the villages safe before proceeding.
- Handle the initial enemy cavalry wave and use the save point.
- Be prepared for small groups of distant cavalry reinforcements, which pose a minor threat.
- Once villages are secure and enemies are under control, confront Hollstadt directly.
- Don't forget to visit shops for supplies and rescue Xane from captivity.
