Battle Strategies

Electrify 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.

Use Corentin's 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.

Hold the Line at the Stairs

Ram Foe

Deal physical damage to a single enemy, knock them back 5 squares and move forward 1 square. Power: 62 Range: 1-1 (Height -2 - +2)

The best place to maintain a chokepoint are the stairs in front of the deployment zone. That said, place Erador on front lines alongside Serenoa.

When the area gets crowded, use Erador's Ram Foe in order to push back enemy units.

Use Magic On Top of the Ledge

While maintaining a chokepoint on stairs where Serenoa deploys, mages like Frederica can cast magic from the top.

The elevated terrain can prevent ranged units from melee attacks. However, be on the lookout for bowmen and spellcasters as they can still damage your units.

Flank With The Help of Brook

Brook is a poisoner from Hyzante that helps in Serenoa's betrayal of Aesfrost.

He is accompanied by two guards, with all three being able to deal significant damage against the enemy. Use him to strike first and whittle down health of enemies before going in for the kill.

Chapter 8b2 General Tips

Make Good Use of Ezana's Aptitude

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.
