Recommended Weapon and Upgrades

Greathawk Shield

If you upgrade Flanagan's weapon to its second rank, you can obtain a skill that decreases the TP used by Aerial Assault by 1.

Additionally, if you prefer sending Flanagan towards enemy units, you can get his passive skill Iron Stance to grant him immunity from getting knocked back. This is useful especially on maps that have high cliffs to prevent Flanagan from getting separated from enemies he's trying to lure since he cannot be pushed off platforms anymore.
