Mythic Hero Battle: Arval Strategy

Use a Player Phase strategy with Galeforce and repeated actions

With six foes at the start of the match, it is possible to use a strategy involving repeated actions using Galeforce or Duo/Harmonized skills to clear the map on turn one, or eliminate most of the enemies and kite the remaining leftovers.

Units like Ninja Lyn, Ninja Corrin (F), and Summer Edelgard work fantastic in this map with their own abilities to generate additional actions. The Ninja duos can use their Duo Skills while Summer Edelgard can use Raging Storm to create an additional action for themselves. Summer Edelgard can even equip Galeforce to get a third action!

However, due to the distance of your team from the enemies' initial spawn locations, Wings of Mercy and/or similar warp skills will be required in order to reach the enemies on turn one. Equip your initiator unit(s) with self-recoil skills like Fury 4 or Atk/Spd Push 4 in order to get them to the required HP threshold.

Key support units for this strategy include Hatari Azura and New Year Peony. These two refresher units can generate an additional action for an ally with their unique refresh skills, and another action on top of that with their own Duo/Harmonized skills too.

Alternatively, use Savior units to tank the enemies

With the exception of Arval, the enemies on this map are not too threatening. Using a Near Save unit and a Far Save unit with two support units (ideally a healer and a refresher) can also clear the map by withstanding the enemies and winning through attrition.

The Far Save unit will be key because he/she needs to be able to survive Arval's attack. Using a fast unit with a skill that prevents enemy follow-up attacks will help by ensuring Arval only attacks once.

Alternatively, using a colorless unit that attacks Arval's lower Def stat can deny Arval's color advantage and potentially defeat them in one round.

Units we recommend for the Far Save role include Ascended Fjorm, Rearmed Robin (F), and Caineghis.

Watch out for various movement/warp skills!

Some enemies on this map come with movement and warp skills that can cause unexpected movement and lead to your defeat. Take note of the following enemies:

• Arval has Atk/Res Oath 4 which allows warping to nearby allies.
• The Sword Fighter on turn one has Even Tempest 3 to receive +1 movement on even numbered turns.
• The Sword Fighter on turn two has Wings of Mercy 3 to warp adjacent to any wounded ally in the map.
• The Green Bat on turn two can transform and receive +1 movement upon meeting the transform conditions.
• The Green Fafnir on turn four has Even Tempest 3 to receive +1 movement on even numbered turns.
• The Axe Knight on turn four has Assault Troop 3 to move up to three spaces in cardinal directions.
