Ashnard: Mad King Strategy

Watch Out for Ashnard's Special

Ashnard's Special is available on the first turn, so don't let him attack your units.

Defeat him with a ranged magical attack, as his Def is quite high.

Be Careful of Ashnard's Sudden Panic Debuff

Ashnard has Sudden Panic 3, which will turn bonuses into penalties if your units are adjacent to each other.

You can counter this by using Harsh Command+ and using the first turn to spread your units out.

Use a Tanky Unit

This map can be cleared faster if you use a tanky green unit on the left to take out the Green Cavalier and the Lance Fighter or a tanky red unit on the right to take out the Red Flier and the Axe Fighter.
