Ramza as a Monk will lead Team A, using Focus to stack attack power and Aurablast for range. A Chemist with the Romandan Pistol works as both long-range support and a healer, while a Knight adds durability and can equip Black Magick for extra ranged options.
Put Archers on your Team B and equip Lightning Bows since the rainy weather boosts Thunder damage.
Battle 18: Balias Swale Walkthrough
Walkthrough Guide
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |
All Team A Members Must Have 4 Movement Stat Team A will be your main attacker team, however the enemies are on the far end of where you stand, so it's better to have it comprised of Ramza, with Aurablast, a Chemist with the Romandan Pistol, a Knight with the Black Magick job command equipped, all tied with a Movement Stat of 4. This way they can reach the enemies at the back quickly, and if ever they don't they can depend on their ranged attacks. |
| * |  Battle Boots and Squire's Movement +1 Ability You can manually increase your Movement stat by +2. Equip Battle Boots (purchasable in towns) and learn the Squire’s Movement +1 Ability. Both together grant a total +2 Movement. |
| 2 |  Deal With the Black Mages First Since it is raining, Thunder attacks are boosted, and this will most definitely be used against you by the Black Mages, should they be left unchecked. You can also use this to your advantage if your Knight has the Black Magick job command equipped and Thundara learned from the Black Mage job. |
| * |  Coral Sword and Lightning Bow Since Thunder damage is boosted, it is best to have your Knight be equipped with a Coral Sword, this sword is imbued with the Thunder affinity and will inflict thunder damage. The Lightning Bow on the other hand, once equipped by your Archers, will have a chance to cast an additional Thundara, after their bow attacks. |
| 3 |  Attack the Remaining Enemies Agrias can actually stand on her own but she's still outnumbered, so have your first team close in to help her defeat the remaining enemies. Meanwhile your second team, the two Archers can actually hold the fort on their own, especially if they have the Lightning Bow equipped. Just make sure to prioritize killing the Black Mage on their side of the field first before the others. |
