Damage Calculator Tool

Legendary Hero Battle - Ninian Strategy

Use Player Phase Units!

Using player phase units with multiple actions, usually through Galeforce or the use of Duo/Harmonized Skills, you can clear most, if not the entire map on the very first turn.

If unable to clear the entire map, you can leave the Troubadour alive; his attacks won't be able to defeat your units. There are few reinforcements on the following turns and are quite spread out, allowing an easy clear.

This map has no trenches, allowing your offensive cavalry units to approach the enemies on the first turn.

Be careful though, as the Thief has Canto Control 3 to shut down your team's Canto effects! Try to deal with him as fast as possible if using units with Canto.

Units like Fallen Julia and Legendary Julia work wonders on this map, as their Light and Dark and Light and Dark II skills respectively will prevent adaptive damage, forcing all the manaketes to attack their very high Res stats.

Alternatively, use Tanks with Savior Skills

It is also possible to form up into a ball and use Savior Tanks to enemy phase the entire map.

Be careful when using Blue units like Brave Hector and Ascended Idunn; Legendary Ninian will quickly lay waste to them with her color advantage, Faithful Breath, and Blue Feud 3.

Aim to use units with high Res as much as possible, and equip the Mystic Boost 3 Sacred Seal if using a ranged unit as a tank.
