Damage Calculator Tool

Xander: Paragon Knight Strategy

Use Cavalry-Effective Weapons to Defeat Xander

Xander possesses Aegis, which will reduce damage done to him. Water Boost 3 will also boost his Res, making taking him out with magic a little difficult.

When battling Xander, it's recommended to use cavalry-effective weapons like Ridersbane+ or Keen Blárwolf+.

You can also opt to use Swordbreaker 3.

Recommended Team Can Be One Tank, 2 Magic Users, and a Dancer

One effective team to use is using a unit to serve as a tank, 2 units that use magic, and one dancer.

Have your tank take damage while your magic users will take out the enemy units.

Take Out the Sword Fighter

You can use a unit with magic damage to take out the Sword Fighter, as it has high firepower and will become a nuisance to your team.

However, you will be in range of the Green Mage and Green Cavalier, so make sure whoever you used to take out the Sword Fighter has high Res.

Take Out the Lance Fighter

The Lance Fighter also has high firepower, so try to take them out quickly as well.

You can use Triangle Adept 3 to take it out, but keep in mind you will be in range of the Cleric packing Gravity+.

Xander: Paragon Knight Infernal Strategy Example

Brave Dimitri

Peony

Eir

Reinhardt

Merges seen in the video should not matter much, though AI behavior may be different depending on your stats and builds.

Reinhardt is here as with Brave Dimitri to work together to clear the map, with Peony providing much needed combat buffs due to the amount of debuffs present.

Dimitri can tank most of the units, though he will need to be careful of the Green Mage as it could potentially defeat him.
