Damage Calculator Tool

Aelfric: Custodian Monk Strategy

Use ranged units!

This battle starts on the tough side, as all 4 of your units are separated from each other with narrow corridors.

Melee isn't the way to go here because of the tight spaces and several enemy units being ranged.

So fight fire with fire and fight back with ranged units of your own.

Take advantage of Wings of Mercy dancers, Canto skills, or refresher skills

Wings of Mercy 3 is a very good skill on a dancer because they can warp to another unit with low health and give them another action.

You can take advantage of this by having one unit go low and using a dancer with Wings of Mercy to have them retreat to safety.

Another method is using units with Trace skills so they can attack and retreat to safety afterwards.

Skills like A/S Far Trace 3 or similar are such notable skills.

A third method is using units that give themselves another action via a skill or a Special like Galeforce.

Fallen Edelgard can grant herself another action after she attacks and Ninja Lyn's Duo skill grants the same effect.

The Blue Cavalier has Fatal Smoke!

Beware the Blue Cavalier, they have Fatal Smoke 3 which will prevent your units from healing.

This skill may be annoying if you're using a tank setup and your tanks can't sustain themselves, so focus on trying to either taking this unit out as quickly as possible or taking out their allies first.
