In addition to Ritsu, the boss battle in this chapter will have two other units with 1 shield point each with all enemies being weak against Swords. Hikari's Aggressive Slash skill deals sword damage to multiple enemies at random. Boosting this skill will increase the number of strikes and will almost always guarantee damage and break for at least the two Footmen.
Hikari doesn't have any skills or companions at this stage of the game to heal himself. The boss in chapter 1 is tough and will make for a long battle. So be sure to bring items to heal him during the fight.
