Chapter 5 Battle Walkthrough

	Objective
1	Before proceeding to this battle, make sure to visit Somniel to get some much needed Steel Weapons!
2	Immediately send a mobile unit like Alfred with Sigurd's emblem to the left side of the map. You'll survey two chests at the north-west side of the map. A Thief will appear to steal these items so it's imperative that you send a unit immediately to this side to eliminate the said Thief.
3	Have some more units follow Alfred then have Louis, Alear, Framme, and Clanne stick near the entrance but not break the door yet. We don't want to be flooded by enemies from two multiple directions at once so making sure that the area is relatively safe first is mandatory to avoid accidental deaths.
4	Just have Alfred keep on chasing the thief, units on the north-west edge of the map will try to provide back up but will only form a straight line for Alfred. Sigurd's Override can attack units that are placed together and hit them all at once!
5	Once Alfred Clears and Opens the Chest, Break the wall and the door. Alfred and the other units chasing should group up first before doing the said moves. The chests contains an Armor Slayer and an Obstruct which can be Convoyed and given to Alear and Framme respectively.
6	Quickly eliminate all the units both from the west side and the area near the door. The armored unit can be killed by Clanne's magic or Alear's Armor Slayer if convoyed.
Note	Use Obstruct on the open staircase to prevent reinforcements Can only be done if Obstrcut is convoyed to Framme but is not a necessary requirement as it will only spawn a cavalry and an archer.
7	Once all units are cleared, have two units stand on the staircases to stop further reinforcements from appearing
8	Lure Nelucce out of his platform His platform will provide him extra survivaibility from evasion and HP regen.
9	Before unleashing all attacks on Nelucce, break his stance first with Alear's attack Break prevents counterattacks and since Nelucce have 2 HP bars due to a revival stone, he may be able to kill a unit if given a chance to survive and retaliate.

1. Steel Weapons

Steel Items
Steel weapons are slower but stronger weapon variants. At this stage of the game, getting double attacks due to higher speed is unlikely so make sure to equip your units with these weapons to gain some more damage.

Alfred's Override

Override

Override can deal immense amounts of damage given the right situations and the map formation of Chapter 5 is a perfect example. Just have Alfred focus on attacking and chasing the Thief and the enemy reinforcement from the North-West side should make this formation naturally which can allow you to pretty much deal 2-3 units worth of damage in a single turn.
