Battle Strategies

Lure enemies into traps with Erador or Lionel

To ensure that enemy units will be positioned inside the fire trap's area of effect, lure them with Erador and Lionel's abilities.

While holding the ground and luring as many enemies as possible, keep them healthy by using HP-recovering items or with Hossabara's heal.

More enemies will appear

As the battle ensues, Exharme will call for more units in battle. Keep this in mind if you are planning your strategy, as there will be more units to kill halfway in the fight.

Use Abilities with Area of Effects

Enemy units will try to gang up on one of your units. Be sure to use abilities that can hit multiple targets if your unit has one.

Chapter 18S1 General Tips

Take Advantage of Quietuses

Quietuses are an extremely helpful set of commands that can help your units in a multitude of ways. To name a few, certain Quitetuses can influence turn count, damage dealt, unit positioning, and more.

In this case, you can use Lightwave to transport one of your units near a fire trap and use In Tandem to let them move on the next turn in case you need to activate the trap and set your enemies ablaze immediately.

Provided that you have the Quietus Points for them, using these commands will make Serenoa and his allies a force to be reckoned with.

Quietuses Guide: List and How to Use

Enemies Will Split Up

All units near Exharme during the beginning of the battle will take on two routes to advance to your position. Fortunately, there are two fire traps waiting on the both ends of the route, plus one in the area where the two routes will meet.

Exharme Will Be One-Shot if Trapped

Exharme may be immune to status conditions, but he isn't invulnerable to the map's fire traps. If he is trapped and set on fire, he will be knocked out in one hit.
