Battle Strategies

Use Shadowstitching Arrow on Rufus

Compared to Avlora, Rufus is much easier to handle. He can be afflicted with status ailments like poison and immobility.

In addition, Rufus is also weaker to magic than when attacking him with physical attacks.

Shadowstitching Arrow

Deal physical damage to an enemy, and have a chance to immobilize them for 2 turn(s). Power: 76 Range: 2-4 (Height -20 - +8)

A great strategy would be to immobilize him using Hughette's Shadowstitching Arrow.

Once immbolized, mage units should start attacking him with spells from a safe distance.

Use Units with a HIgh Jump Stat

It's tough to move across the map considering that it is a cliffside. Adding high mobility units to this battle like Anna and Hughette is highly recommended.

Hughette is able to freely travel up and down the cliffs, which allows her able to support units on both sides of the map due to her Aptitude that expands her attack range when at a square of higher elevation.

Target Ranged Units First

Given the verticality of the map, it's much harder to engage in close combat.

The battle will go in favor of those with more ranged units like mages and archers.

Archers in this battle use fire-based attack, which makes Corentine worth bringing along due to his ice spells.

Keep Roland Away from Rufus

Rufus is a very strong physical attacker, and should he manage to take down Roland, you will lose immediately.

Since he is mostly accompanied by mages, there's little worry about follow-up attacks than if he heads up the map. Hence, it's best to keep him on the lower parts of the map.

Instead, Roland should focus on supporting the units furthest from him, on top of the cliff, where it is much safer.

Chapter 8a1 General Tips

Take Advantage of Status Changes

Unlike Avlora from the previous battle, Rufus is susceptible to status changes.

As such, try to use attacks that could immobilize, poison, or even blind him in order to prevent him from doing any substantial damage to your party — especially to Roland.
