Valter: Dark Moonstone Strategy

Watch Out for Panic Ploy

Valter and the Sword Knight both have Panic Ploy 3, which will turn any bonuses into penalties.

You can counter this with Harsh Command+ or by using skills like Drive Atk 2 or Drive Spd 2.

Enemy Units Will Move On the First Enemy Phase

In this map, enemy units will move on the first enemy phase, so be careful where of you own party's placements.

Try as much as possible to defeat at least one enemy unit on your turn before all the others start moving.

Use Bow Units

Several fliers will appear on the map, so it's a good idea to use bow units as they are effective against fliers.

Use Units With Brave Weapons

Many of the enemy units have high Spd so doubling may prove to be a little difficult.

Using units with weapons like Brave Sword+, Brave Bow+ or similar effects will prove to be very effective in clearing out the enemy units fast.
