Legendary Leif Strategy

Don't Let Legendary Leif Attack!

Legendary Leif's Meisterbogen allows him to attack twice, which means that your units will be taking a lot of damage.

His Special, Njörun's Zeal, will also grant him another action, allowing him to possibly take out your units.

Don't let your units get into Leif's range during the enemy phase and then go and attack during the player phase!

Watch Out For Reinforcements!

A total of 7 enemy units will come as reinforcements, so it's important to defeat as many on the map every turn to avoid getting overwhelmed.

Having a dancer or skills that give mobiliy like Galeforce and March 3 means that your party can cover more areas of the map and defeat more units in a turn.
