Salem: Dark Sage Strategy

Use Save Skills or Tanks

Tanky units with Save skills are going to help to take out the enemies, keeping your more fragile units safe.

By placing a tanky unit that can retaliate against both melee and ranged foes on the space below the left tree (marked with an orange circle in the map images above), they can tank all the enemies on the map and defeat them during enemy phase.

Said tanky unit would perform better with support units to aid it in battle!

Alternatively, Use Hit and Run Tactics

Enemies on this map are clumped together, making it easy for ranged units to apply area-of-effect penalties such as Gravity or splash damage from skills like Savage Blow 3.

Using hit and run tactics with units that have either Canto or Trace skills will ensure that you can attack and move out of range safely.

Alternatively, you can use dancers to get your allies to safety.
