For this fight, you don’t need to bring extra Squires since you’ll already have both Argath and Delita joining as guest units to handle the frontline.
Instead, prioritize bringing a Chemist for healing and support, and mix in ranged damage like an Archer or Black Mage to pick off enemies from afar. This balance lets your party cover distance quickly, keep Argath alive, and still dish out strong damage while your guests absorb some of the heat.

Walkthrough Guide
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Choose the First Option Before the battle starts, you’ll be asked to pick between two dialogue choices. Both eventually lead to saving Argath, but the first option, "Our first duty is to defeat the Brigade", is the smarter pick. It grants all your units +2 Bravery, and Argath’s death during battle will not cause a game over. If you choose the second option, "We must rescue their captive!", you won’t get the Bravery boost, and Argath’s death will instantly end the battle in failure. ▶ How to Increase or Decrease Bravery |
| 2 |  Have Long Range Units Ready Since the stage is fairly wide and enemies may spawn scattered across the field, it’s best to bring at least one unit who can attack from afar. Archers with bows can chip away at enemies safely, while Black Mages can target clustered foes with spells. Long-range damage also helps you reach and protect Argath faster, preventing him from being overwhelmed before your melee units close the distance. |
| 3 |  Prioritize Argath’s Safety Argath starts the battle surrounded and will aggressively charge forward, making him vulnerable. Focus on taking out the nearest enemies threatening him first. Use your ranged units to thin the enemy line while your melee units close in for support. If you picked the first option earlier, Argath’s death won’t cause a game over, but keeping him alive still makes the fight easier, since his extra damage can help you clear enemies faster. |
