Having Ramza as your flexible support, a Black Mage for AoE damage, and two Knights for durability and utility gives you a solid core to survive the battle. Knights can break equipment and soak damage, while your Black Mage picks off clustered enemies from a safe position.

Since all of the enemy Thieves are male, they’ll frequently use Steal Heart on your female units to charm them and turn them against you. To avoid this frustrating scenario, it’s safest to field an all-male party for this battle.

Walkthrough Guide

# Step by Step Objectives
1
Target the Black Mages Immediately
The two enemy Black Mages are the biggest threat thanks to their AoE spells, which can devastate clustered units. Take them down first using your own Black Mage’s spells or Knights to rush their position.

Because the map is fairly compact, enemies will often be grouped together. Use this to your advantage, your spells can hit multiple targets at once, but watch out though cause they can do this too if your party is clustered together. Consider maintaining a distance from each other to avoid joint damage.
2
Control the High Ground and Pressure Archers
The enemy Archers posted on higher tiles will pepper your team with ranged attacks. Push forward with your Knights to pin them down or disable them with Rend Weapon.

Meanwhile, Ramza can use Chant for healing or Tailwind to boost your Black Mage’s speed. Gaffgarion and Agrias will contribute plenty of pressure as they move on their own accord, letting you focus on controlling the ranged enemies.
3
Clean Up the Remaining Enemies
Once the enemy Black Mages are gone, the stage becomes more breathable. Turn your attention to the Thieves and any Archers still alive.
*
Assemble an All Male Team
Be wary of Steal Heart, which only works on female allies, since the enemy Thieves are all males. To counter this, it’s safer to bring an all-male party for this encounter so your units can’t be charmed.
