Battle Strategies

Prioritize Taking Down Ranged Units

19R Ranged

Much of the difficulty of this battle comes from the number of ranged enemy units attacking your party from a distance. Some of their attacks deal status changes like immobility and blindness.

In addition, there are healers that restore HP of melee enemy units, further prolonging the fight.

Use your high mobility units like Hughette to snipe ranged enemies one by one.

It is recommended as well to bring Panacea Pellets and Cure-All Pellets should your party be inflicted with status changes.

Exploit Enemy's Weakness to Fire

19R Narve

With Frederica leaving your party on this route, Narve will prove to be one of the best units to use for this battle due to his fire spell, Scorch, to which most of the enemies are weak to.

Furthermore, Gustadolph is also weak to fire, so using Narve's fire abilities will help out when taking the Archduke down!

As for units with no fire attacks, bringing Firestones and Ranged Firestones will help.

If you have Medina along, you can take advantage of her Aptitude by using a Firestone twice in a single turn!

Save Gustadolph for Last

19R Gustadolph

The best strategy for taking down Gustadolph is to defeat all enemies first before proceeding to the Archduke himself.

That way, all your units can focus solely on attacking Gustadolph, making his health drop much faster without his healers and other distractions to worry about such as melee enemy units surrounding your party.

Chapter 19R General Tips

Maximize Ranged Units

Triangle Strategy Hughette Aptitude.png

The enemies from this battle are at an advantage in terms of terrain as they are situated at the elevated side of the map.

This is particularly helpful for the enemy healers, mages, and archers that could attack you from a distance, as they heal their allies from afar.

To counter this, be sure to take advantage of your ranged units to take ranged enemies down before your melee units get too close to them and take damage.
