List of All Recruitable Characters

The Self-Effacing Sorcerer Recommended Units

Recommended Unit Leaders
Sharon	Rolf	Bruno	Hodrick

Before doing this quest, make sure that you are able to hire a Hunter Mercenary as they are the most effective in this battle. You can hire mercenaries by accessing any Forts that you own, each fort will have different mercenaries for hire.

The Self-Effacing Sorcerer lets you use up to 4 units. We recommend the Unit Leaders listed above. Click on the leader's name to see our recommended Unit Formation for that leader in this stage.

Sharon's Unit

Sharon's Unit
Josef (Paladin)	-	Sharon (Cleric)
-	Alain (Lord)	-

This unit will be your primary fighting unit in this battle as it is powerful against Wizards, Fighters, and Housecarls. With Josef's Holy Barrier, Alain will be immune to burn damage. Pairing this with Sharon's Reheal ability, only accessible by equipping her with the Hallowed Mace will ensure that Alain recovers any damage taken during battle.

By equipping Alain with the Viperfang weapon, gained by defeating Gammel, he will be able to inflict Poison damage to enemy units. Finally, having Sharon as the leader of this unit will make other units access her Healing Assist leader effect.

Recruiting Sharon

Sharon is a recruitable character accessible by finishing the The Winged Knight sidequest.

After defeating Mandrin, you will have the option to recruit Sharon or not. It is advisable to recruit her as she will be a great healer for the party.

The Winged Knight Walkthrough

Rolf's Unit

Rolf's Unit
Rolf (Hunter)	-	Any Hired Hunter Mercenary
-	Clive (Knight)	-

Rolf's Unit will be your second in command as this unit is powerful in dealing with wizards. Have this unit close to Sharon's and Bruno's so they will have access to Rolf's Ranged Assist leader effect.

You can also utilize Sharon's Healing Assist leader effect since this lineup does not have any healing abilities and mostly focuses on offense.

Bruno's Unit

Bruno's Unit
Lex (Fighter)	-	Bruno (Gladiator)
-	Travis (Thief)	-

Bruno's Unit is tailored for Fighter Units that will be faced in this battle and is a great palette switch when Sharon's team loses stamina. Having this unit working closely with Sharon's and Rolf's team will have the Ranged Assist and Healing Assist leader skills accessible.

Having Travis in the frontline will only focus the attacks on him and he will just Evade every attack while the other two can focus on offense. Bruno's damage can hit an entire row and Travis can also evade magick skills brought upon by the Wizards.

Hodrick's Unit

Hodrick's Unit
Aubin (Housecarl)	-	Chloe (Soldier)
-	Hodrick (Hoplite)	-

Hodrick's Unit will only be here for treasure collection. Avoid any wandering enemies as Hodrick is weak against Wizards and Housecarls. Having Aubin and Chloe as the backup offense will make this unit strong against Fighter units at least.

The Self-Effacing Sorcerer Walkthrough

#	Step by Step Guide
1	Deploy Sharon, Ralf, and Bruno's Units First, you will need to deploy Sharon, Ralf, and Bruno's units. These units will be your core team, having Sharon's team lead the way. Once deployed, there will be an enemy unit approaching, wait for it to come and have Sharon's team defeat it.
2	Head to the First Watch Tower Have all of your units stay close together and head to the first Watch Tower. Have Sharon's team fight the unit guarding the Watch Tower and enable Rolf to use his Ranged Assist leader effect for maximum damage. After this, you can garrison at the Watch Tower.
3	Head Towards Fort Veille Have everyone move and garrison at Fort Veille while defeating the wandering units moving towards you. Use Sharon's team wisely as they may lose stamina in fighting enemies. You can utilize Bruno's team for Fighter Units and Rolf's team for Wizards.
4	Wait for the Wandering Units to Attack Before pushing forward, there will be wandering units approaching. There is a risk of Ranged Magick Assist coming from the Watch Towers and Wizard units nearby when you fight enemies within their range. The best option is to wait for the enemy units to approach so the path will be cleared as you proceed.
5	Head to the Second Watch Tower Once the path is cleared, you may proceed to clear out the second Watch Tower. Always keep in mind that you can utilize the Ranged Assist from Rolf's team for maximum damage.
6	Deploy Hodrick's Team You can now deploy Hodrick's team to collect the treasure near the second Watch Tower and collect a Farsight Crystal. After collecting this, choose to regroup with the others.
7	Garrison the Bridge While on the way to the bridge, the enemy command post will be releasing a third batch of enemy units that will be on their way to you, these units will be able to provide Magick Assist to each other so be prepared for damage.
8	Restore Stamina at the Bridge While garrisoned at the bridge, it is optimal to rest and restore stamina for Sharon's team. Garrisoning in a bridge will not cost you stamina during battles so take advantage of this privilege. Alternatively, you can use items such as Smoked Nuts to regain stamina instantly. This may also be a good time to heal so feel free to use items or Josef and Sharon's Heal Valor Skill.
9	Clear the Third Watch Tower Move forward and clear the third watch tower. Since the wandering units who can provide Magick Assist have been defeated, this will be an easy feat.
10	Regroup and Use Valorous Order Have any nearby team collect the treasure near the third Watch Tower. If Hodrick's team has been able to follow up with the three units, you can make them collect this treasure. The next thing to do here is to use Alain's Valorous Order Valor Skill so everyone will have the advantage to strike first and Sharon's Unit will have an increase in offense by 20% and damage reduction by 20%.
11	Defeat Auch With the Valor Skill now in effect, it is time to defeat Auch's Unit once and for all. Have Sharon's team battle with Auch and ultimately defeat him. You will obtain Chlorotic once the battle is over.
