Matthis Strategy

Tank Strategies are viable

With the lack of powerful enemies and refresher units on this map, a tanking strategy is the best strategy to achieve victory.

Use the left bridge as a choke point by parking your preferred tank unit there, and place support allies nearby but still out of range of the enemy ranged units.

If your tank has a Far Save skill, you can place the support allies adjacent to him/her; they will be protected by Savior.

With the amount of debuff skills and Vulture-type weapons on this map, it is ideal that your tank unit can either neutralize penalties, or reverse them using Unity skills or similar.

Alternatively, use Player Phase Strategies

This map has no reinforcements, no refresher enemies, and all of the foes are close to each other. This is a great map for player phase strategies like Galeforce or Hit and Run.

Using units that can grant themselves additional actions, you can pick off an enemy and then retreat to safety.

Ninja duo units like Ninja Corrin (F) and Ninja Laegjarn are perfect for this map, as they can defeat an enemy and use their Duo Skill to either retreat or attack again.

For this strategy, separate your team into two sections: one to deal with the left side, and the other to deal with the right side.
