Battle Strategies

Do Not Let Svarog Near Enemy Units

Though Svarog is a strong ally unit, the conditions to avoid defeat is to not let Svarog fall.

This battle is rather simple with most of the battles taking place in the wide space in front of the gate. With how far Svarog's placement in the map is, it will probably take 2 turns for him to join the fighting.

Take care of a good number enemy forces until then, so he has a lesser chance of dying.

Keep him from defeating enemies as well because players will miss out on the experience points.

In cases where he's recieving lots of damage, players can use the Quietus Lightwave to teleport him away from danger!

Quietuses Guide: List and How to Use

Beating Sycras

Sycras isn't as strong as other level bosses. However, his strength is reliant on his use of buffs and debuffs.

The key to taking him out is by picking off his allies until he is left alone.

Unlike heavy-hitters like Avlora, your units should be able to survive multiple attacks from Sycras.

Once his allies are all defeated, it should be easier to take him down.

Get Ready for Reinforcements

Once Sycras' health goes down enough, reinforcements will get deployed. They will arrive at the side of the clifftop where the enemies first deployed.

Since they're all close-combat units, it is recommended to attack them from a distance while they head down the steps, or surround them with your units once they reach the bottom.

Use Fire Magic

All of Sycras' ranged units like mages and archers use ice-elemental abilities.

With that, be sure to take advantage of their weakness to fire magic by deploying Frederica.

List of All Fire Abilities

Use Decoy To Bunch Up Enemies

Decoy

Summon a clone on a selected square. Clones previously summoned with this ability will disappear Power: - Range: 1-4 (Height -10 - +10)

Most of the battle will take place in the wide space in front of the gate.

Since the battle starts with most of the enemy units already grouped up, divert their attention from your units by sending Piccoletta's Ability Decoy either behind enemy lines or right in front of them.

Icy Breath

Deal ice-type magic damage to all enemies within range and freeze the ground. Power: 34 Range: 0-4 (Height -10 - +10)

To add, since the decoy can take a beating, use area of effect spells like Icy Breath or Scorch to damage multiple units while they're preoccupied.

Chapter 10a1 General Tips

Take Advantage of the Aptitudes of Other Recruits

Deceive enemies using Piccoletta's decoys!

The units recruited from Character Stories, have very unique Aptitudes and can be highly beneficial for battle when executed properly.

However, some characters only show up once a certain condition has been met. Be sure to check out our characters guide so you won't miss out on any recruits!
