Legendary Seliph Strategy

Let Seliph Attack You!

Sothis bypasses the guaranteed follow-up attack and other effects because Seliph initiated on her rather than the other way around.

Legendary Seliph is more powerful if he is being attacked, due to the effects of Virtuous Tyrfing and Holy War's End.

The way to defeat him in this battle is to let him attack you and then finish him off with a counterattack.

His Special is not active on Turn 1, but keep an eye on how many charges it has!

Use a Bulky Blue Unit

Legendary Seliph has Distant Counter and is guaranteed a follow-up attack through his B skill.

Therefore, it's not recommended to try to take him out with ranged attacks.

It's easier to defeat him by putting a bulky blue unit that can do a follow-up attack. If you have units that have Ridersbane+ or Triangle Adept 3, this will make defeating him even easier.

Divide and Conquer With These Skills

Wings of Mercy 3

Escape Route 3

Enemy units will come from the left and right sides of the map, you can divide your own team to take care of each side.

To make it easier for your team to cover each other, you can give them warp skills like Wings of Mercy 3 or Escape Route 3.

This is especially effective if one of the units that has one of these is a dancer.
