Battle Strategies

Attack Twice Using Anna's Aptitude

Anna's aptitude allows her to take two actions every turn and conceal her presence from enemy units. Strategically place her on a tile where she can make the most out of her aptitude.

Get Anna to deal more damage by using Benedict's skill Raging Beast increase her strength!

Use Hughette's Blinding Arrow Attack

Hughette's attack Blinding Arrow, has a chance of blinding an enemy for three turns.

This move is recommended against Hyzantian Pikemen and Sorsley!

Watch Out for Exharme's Debuffs

Sandstorm

Deal physical damage to a single enemy, and lower their strength and physical defense for 3 turn(s). Power: 45 Range: 1-1 (Height -2 - +2)

Exharme's attack Sandstorm debuffs your unit's strength and physical defense.

It is recommended to take him down first by taking advantage of Roland's Movement speed and Range!

Don't Let Sorsley's Attacks Put You to Sleep

Slumber Stab

Deal physical damage to an enemy, and have a chance to put them to sleep for 2 turn(s). Power: 21 Range: 1-1 (Height -2 - +2)

Sorsley's attack Slumber Stab can put your units to sleep, making that unit lose two turns and be susceptible to multiple attacks.

Once you get close to Sorsley, attack him using Serenoa's skill Delaying Strike to prevent him from unleashing the sleeping attack!

Chapter 2 General Tips

Familiarize Yourself With Status Changes

This battle introduces Status Changes, starting with Sleep, Blindness, and Act Again.

These conditions can have either a positive or negative effect to your party as well as your enemies.

Learning how these Status Changes operate will work to your advantage as you progress through the story!

List of All Status Changes and Effects

Take Advantage of Unit Positioning

Correct Positioning Maximizes Turns

Roland simultaneously attacks two units with his spear!

Positioning plays a vital role when it comes to effectively dealing damage and maximizing your turns. Attacking from behind, executing follow-up attacks, and fighting on higher ground are recommended techniques to speed up battle!

It is also worth considering the range of your units, both in terms of Movement and Attack.
