The Unyielding Shield Recommended Units

Recommended Unit Leaders
Ochlys	Clive	Rolf	Sharon	Alain

Before doing this quest, make sure that you have expanded your units from 4 to 5 and three of your party's unit slots from 3 to 4. Additionally, hiring a Hunter mercenary and a Gryphon Knight mercenary is recommended for this battle. You can expand your units, and hire Mercenaries by spending Honor in Forts you own.

The Unyielding Shield lets you use up to 6 units but using five will be sufficient in this stage. 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.

Ochlys' Unit

Ochlys's Unit
Ochlys (Feathersword)	Chloe (Soldier)	Any Hired Gryphon Knight Mercenary
-	Hodrick (Hoplite)	-

Ochlys' unit is the Anti-Radiant Knight team. With all of the back row being very effective against Cavalries, this will be a breeze especially since you will have Hodrick as your main defender.

Hodrick will make sure that no harm will be done to any of your allies, Chloe will make sure that Hodrick is healed at the end of the battle with her First Aid, should Hodrick take damage.

Recruiting Ochlys

Ochlys can be recruited in the overworld after finishing the The Winged Knight side quest. After doing so, she will appear in the overworld with her shop, talk to her, and start An Angel's Request side quest, complete this quest and she will join you afterward.

Having Ochlys is useful since you will be dealing with Radiant Knights in this stage. It is recommended that you first recruit her before starting this quest.

An Angel's Request

Rolf's Unit

Rolf's Unit
Rolf (Hunter)	-	Any Hired Hunter Mercenary
-	Travis (Thief)	-

Rolf's unit is a simple yet highly effective team against Gryphon Knights. With Travis' Evade skill, your unit will be untouchable.

Rolf will have been level 10 or more by now and thus have his Dual Shot active skill acquired. This active skill is very useful and it is recommended that you get Rolf to at least Level 10 before starting this quest.

Clive's Unit

Clive's Unit
Adel (Knight)	Selvie (Shaman)	Clive (Knight)
-	Josef (Paladin)	-

Clive's Unit boasts mobility and is good at fighting any enemy unit in this stage. However, having a concentrated team to battle each class such as Rolf's and Ochlys' will be better as they deal more damage.

Take advantage of this unit's mobility so you can get to the Catapult and the Ballista faster and execute enemies earlier.

Sharon's Unit

Sharon's Unit
Nina (Warrior)	Sharon (Cleric)	Mordon (Warrior)
-	Bruno (Gladiator)	-

Having Sharon in this stage is optimal for maximum healing. Surround Sharon with your heavy hitters for protection. You will utilize her Healing Assist a lot in this battle.

Have her tail Alain's unit since they will both be deployed at the same time.

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

Alain's Unit

Alain's Unit
Berenice (Sellsword)	-	Melisandre (Swordfighter)
-	Alain (Lord)	-

Alain's unit will be deployed mid-game along with Sharon's when the reinforcements appear, this unit will deal with the Wizard enemy unit that will spawn near the bridge.

This unit is composed of Sword bearers, which have both high ATK and DEF. However, the team lacks a dedicated healer, this is where Sharon's Unit comes into play.

The Unyielding Shield Walkthrough

#	Step by Step Guide
1	Deploy Your Units Deploy Ochlys, Clive, and Rolf's Unit. Have Ochlys' unit clear out the Watchtower above, after doing so, you can collect the treasure on the ground below and get a Wind Faerie's Charm. After this, you can proceed and take over Pasteau Le Mont Garrison and gain Valor Points. Clive and Rolf's destination will be to head to the bridge as they defeat approaching enemies.
2	Garrison into Nearby Areas You can have Ochlys return and rendezvous with the two units. As you proceed near the bridge, there will be two areas where you can garrison in. Take over Fort Cypla to gain Valor Points and Sudd Town to get a Concealing Cloak from an NPC.
3	Take Them Down! As you approach the enemy command post, reinforcements will arrive and you will be surrounded. From here, each unit will be facing different enemies, Have Rolf battle the Gryphon Knight units near the Watchtower, have Ochlys's Unit fight the Radiant Knights near the Barricades, Have Clive use the catapult and destroy the Watchtower for Rolf's protection, make sure that Rolf's unit is out of range when doing so as this can damage friendly units as well.
4	Deploy Alain and Sharon There will be Wizard enemy units spawning near Fort Cypla and will head towards your base. This is the time to deploy Alain and Sharon, have Alain deal with these enemies, and use Sharon's Healing Assist when necessary.
5	Employ the Ballista While waiting for Rolf's Unit to diminish every Gryphon Knight, Get any nearby unit to use the Ballista and target the approaching enemies. Have the other unit get the treasure beside the ballista to get Beckoning Bell. After defeating all the Gryphon knights, have Rolf collect the treasure beside the Watchtower and get Healing Tonic (S). From here, you can ignore the enemies and defeat Monica now.
6	Defeat Monica Since Ochlys' unit is best suited against Radiant Knights, have her team battle Monica. Before the battle, Monica will use her Guard Call Valor Skill so this battle might take time to finish. Luckily, Rolf's and Sharon's units are nearby. Utilize Ranged Assist and Healing Assist effectively and win the battle. After defeating Monica, you will receive a White Knight's Shield.
