Michalis: Ambitious King Strategy

Watch Out for Iote's Shield

Michalis and the Lance Flier both have Iote's Shield, which neutralizes any weapon-effectiveness against fliers.

This makes both of them tougher to defeat, as Michalis has very high Def and the Lance Flier has high Spd.

Defeat Michalis With a Red Tome User

As mentioned, Michalis has high Def so even bows will be rendered ineffective, so it's better to use magic to defeat him, as his Res is quite low.

Watch Out for Flier Formation

Michalis has Flier Formation 3, which will enable him to move into a space adjacent to a flying ally within 2 spaces.

This means he can pull off surprise attacks, even though it would seem that he can't reach your units.

Be Careful of the Lance Flier and Lance Fighter

The Lance Flier has Drag Back, while the Lance Fighter has Lunge.

These two skills will move the unit they're attacking closer to their own team, so be careful and be mindful of which units they are in range of. Even if they can take a hit from either units, they're at risk of being swarmed by the other enemy units.
