Key Interactions

Wolffort Soldier Interaction

Where to Find	Beside Frederica and Geela
Prompt	Choices and Effects
I almost wish they would extend a helping hand to us now, and yet...	We may need all the help we can get, but asking Hyzante for aid might result in a war unlike that of thirty years ago... (Increases Morality)
The alliance has been shattered and House Telliore has turned against us. It seems almost foolish to rely on the good will of others now... (Increases Liberty)
We share a common enemy with Hyzante. To that end, I surmise the Holy State is waiting to see if we would make a formidable ally. (Increases Utility)

Benedict Interaction

Where to Find	By the Castle entrance
Prompt	Choices and Effects
I can only surmise House Telliore now cowers in fear of the duchy's strength.	The fear is understandable. Even so, I imagine they will retreat if they find themselves fighting a losing battle. (Increases Utility)
The Telliore demesne is closer to Aesfrost than our own. It stands to reason that their fear would be greater as well. (Increases Liberty)
House Telliore's hands are yet clean, unlike our own. It makes me wonder if Lord Silvio is the greater ruler between us... (Increases Morality)

Battle Strategies

Teleport Straight to Rufus

Rufus is by no means a weak boss. However, this battle's victory condition is his sole loss.

To defeat him quickly and without taking too much damage, teleport your strongest unit behind Rufus using the Quietus Lightwave.

Quietuses Guide: List and How to Use

Place Support Units on Top of the Ledge

With the enemies fighting an uphill battle, your party can stand on the very top of the ledge while firing projectiles from a safe distance.

Enemy mages and archers are all fire-based so Corentin's ice magic is a great counter.

Spring Trap

Set a trap on a selected square. Any enemy who steps on it will be knocked back 5 squares. Up to 3 traps can be set. Power: - Range: 1-4 (Height -10 - +10)

The narrow halls leading up to the castle gate is also great for setting up traps.

Use Jens ' ability Spring Trap is recommended to prevent enemies from staying too close to your units.

Burn Barricades

Some barricades can hinder even our own forces or prolong the battle entirely. Though burning barricades will let enemies through, it will give them a bit of damage.

Let enemies advance just enough for them to get into the range of your mages.

Use Hughette's Mobility

Among all party members, Hughette is the only unit that can freely move in this map.

Once enemies have advanced just enough, Hughette can flank them and start picking them off with back attacks.

Barricade using Wall of Ice

Wall of Ice

Create an obstacle across 3 horizontal squares. The obstacle will disappear over time. Power: - Range: 1-4 (Height -10 - +10)

If the enemies are gettng a bit too tough, Corentin's Wall of Ice Ability can give players a bit of a breather.

This ability when used correctly can stall enemy units for at least a turn.

Chapter 8a2 General Tips

Take Advantage of Quietuses

Quietuses are an extremely helpful set of commands that can help your units in a multitude of ways. To name a few, certain Quitetuses can influence turn count, damage dealt, unit positioning, and more.

While teleporting to Rufus is a good strategy to end the battle immediately, you can enhance that tactic further by using another Quietus command like Critical Blow.

Provided that you have the Quietus Points for them, using these commands will make Serenoa and his allies a force to be reckoned with.
