Forsyth and Python Strategy

Put a Durable Red Unit on the Left Danger Area

The enemy units on this map will not move until you enter the danger area.

You can place a tanky red unit (ideally one with Distant Counter on their weapon or their A Skill) on the left to take out the Green Manakete and the Red Mage.

Alternatively, you can attack with a red unit to take out the Green Manakete first, then use Dance or Draw Back to get them out of harm's way of the Red Mage.

Put a Durable Green Unit on the Right Danger Area

You can place a tanky red unit (ideally one with Distant Counter on their weapon or their A Skill) on the right to take out the Blue Manakete and the Python.

Take care, however, as Python has his Special enabled at Turn 1.

Defeat Forsyth With a Green Mage

Forsyth has Bonfire at 1 cooldown, so if you attack, his counterattack is going to pack a punch due to his high Def.

He also has Bold Fighter 3 so he has a guaranteed follow-up attack if he initiates.

It's better to take him out at a distance with a Green Mage as his Res is lower.

Be Careful of Armor March and the Def Buffs

The Sword Knight has Armor March 3, which means that as long as long they're adjacent with Forsyth, they can move an extra space.

Forsyth also has Joint Hone Def, which will increase both of their Def. This could prove troublesome when trying to defeat either unit, so it's better if you defeat one of them as soon as possible.
