Recommended Units, and Emblems

Class Explanation
Fire Emblem Engage Lance Armor Lance Armor There are few mage classes and more physical attackers for this map. Having more high defense units will make this stage easier.
Fire Emblem Engage Archer Archer You'll still want an archer for your team as Ivy is a flier. She's also a mage so inflicting break will not be an option so you'll need to deplete her HP pool fast (take note that she has a revival stone).
Fire Emblem Engage Sigurd Sigurd Taking the fort will prevent either Kagetsu or Zelkov from spawning more allies if they reach the Fort first. Having a hyper mobile unit that is also durable to rush to a fort will stop the enemy number from increasing even further.
Diamant Diamant Bringing Diamant will allow you to recruit Jade without consuming a turn from Alear and can increase your options on the battlefield.

Chapter 9 Battle Walkthrough

Objective
1 Immediately spread out both your parties and head for both forts on the map
2 Have Sigurd's Emblem user rush to a Fort and take it (preferebly a mounted unit like Alfred)
This will prevent Either Zelkov or Kagetsu from taking the Fort and will prevent some Corrupted from joining the fight.
3 Have Diamant head straight to Jade's location to talk to her
Talking to Jade will allow you to recruit her immediately. She's an armored class and she fares well against the majority of the enemy in this stage.
4 Defeat Zelkov and Kagetsu then use the Fort to restore everyone's HP
While it may be a little bit time consuming, ending your turn on the Fort will allow you to eventually restore everyone's HP without consuming any healing items or Staves.
5 Once fully restored, march your entire team towards Ivy for a full frontal assault.

Taking a Fort First

Chapter 9 Taken Fort
Allowing the enemy to take a fort first will make that fort spawn two Corrupted while either Zelkov or Kagetsu will not budge and stay on the fort making them harder to kill. Having a unit rush to one fort will greatly reduce the difficulty of one side of the map.

Elsurge ain't in a chest... It's on a mage at the bottom right of the map.
