Battle Strategies

Trap Enemies at the Very Back

The barricades used by the Aesfrost actually work in the favor of Serenoa's party. Use different ways to keep enemy units away from the battle.

Wall of Ice

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

Wall of Ice and Spring Trap can be used to keep enemies in check, while your main party handles the enemies at the forefront like Erika.

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)

Beating Erika

Lionel's ability, Ruffle Feathers, works really well against Erika. Keep her held up at the chokepoint while Erador tanks.

Ruffle Feathers

Chance to infuriate a single enemy for 2 turn(s). Power: - Range: 1-4 (Height -10 - +10)

Whenever Erika is infuriated, she resorts to using physical attacks, which is much weaker than her area of effect abilities.

Constricting Net

Delay the turn of a single enemy. Power: - Range: 1-4 (Height -10 - +10)

Jens can also delay Erika's turns by using Constricting Net. This makes her even less effective in battle. She is also very weak to ice-based abilities.
List of All Ice Abilities

Moon Jump to Flank Enemies

Once players can focus on the remaining enemies, a surprise flank from Milo can be devastating.

Moon Jump

Move to a selected square, then gain the use of 1 more command. However, you can only move once. Power: - Range: 1-5 (Height -8 - +8)

Since enemies are already grouped up, area of effect abilities from Corentin and Frederica will also do lots of damage.

Beating Thalas

Once players have beaten Erika, there's very little Thalas can do to stop you. Players should take him head-on and surround him.

Whirlwind

Deal wind-type magic damage to all enemies within range and change the direction they face. Power: 38 Range: 1-3 (Height -4 - +4)

When Thalas is surrounded, his effective attack is Whirlwind, which costs him TP. His physical attack is too weak to defeat your units. Keep attacking him until he falls in order to seize victory.

Chapter 14a General Tips

Focus on Thalas and Erika

The win condition in the battle is to take out both Aesfrosts. Prioritize taking them out first using points mentioned above! Losing Serenoa, Roland or any of your units is not a lose condition so do not worry about losing units in the process of diving Thalas and Erika.
