Key Interactions

Wolffort Soldier Interaction

Prompt Choices and Effects
If you don't mind my asking, m'lord, what's our plan of action? No matter what the Aesfrosti army does, we will fight our way.
(Increases Liberty)
We are allies with Aesfrost now. We cannot allow past grudges to cloud our judgment.
(Increases Morality)
We will take careful measure of Aesfrost's strengths and weaknesses, in case we ever find ourselves on opposite ends of the battlefield.
(Increases Utility)

Frederica Interaction

Where to Find Talk to Frederica
Prompt Choices and Effects
I doubt I will ever forget the way she so callously struck down Prince Frani... Her prowess in battle is undeniable. Consider her naught but a sword we need to strike down Hyzante.
(Increases Utility)
She was indeed the one who struck the fatal blow, but Gustadolph was the one who gave the order.
(Increases Liberty)
Neither will I. She spilled the blood of the royal family. As a retainer to the crown, that makes us enemies.
(Increases Morality)

Battle Strategies

Use Corentin's Ice Wall

Triangle Strategy - Ice Wall
The boat connecting both bays have a lot cavalry. Corentin's ice magic is just enough to seal the corridor, in case the fight gets too tough.

By doing this, it should give players a round or two to heal and regroup.

Electrify Puddles

Triangle Strategy - Electrocute Puddles
The weather of the map gives the opportunity for players to electrify the terrain, namely puddles.

Since most of the fights will be taking place in narrow corridors, area of effect magic and electrifying puddles is recommended.

Stock Up on Poison Recovery Pellets

Triangle Strategy - Poison Recovery Pellets
In this battle, players will go up against Brook, an enemy unit similar to Anna, sharing her Aptitude Act Twice, as well as being able to poison foes.

Be sure to bring enough Poison Recovery Pellets should any of your units get poisoned by Brook.

Defeat Enemies Before Avlora Does

Triangle Strategy - Isolate Avlora
It's without a doubt that Avlora is one of the strongest characters in the game. As an ally in this battle she will most likely one-shot or nearly defeat all units.

Players can take advantage of this by having her strike first, then finishing the units off with your party members,

Just make sure that she herself does not defeat them as no experience points are rewarded.

Chapter 8b1 General Tips

Make Good Use of Ezana's Aptitude

Ezana Aptitude.png

Ezana's expertise in wind and lightning magic are very useful in a battle. You can use her wind magic to deal massive damage and make them face the other direction so other units can land a back attack easily.

Lightning can also do a lot of damage to multiple enemies at once given that there's water in the terrain.
