Leif and August Strategy

Use an offensive Player Phase strategy!

This map has no reinforcements and no enemy refresher units, making an offensive strategy viable. It also helps that half of the enemies are isolated on the upper right island, allowing you to clear the three frontline foes first.

Take care to avoid the Blue Flier who can warp forward using the Flier Guidance 3 skill of the Axe Flier.

Alternatively, use a tanking strategy!

The enemies here can be defeated with a tanking strategy easily, as half of the enemies are isolated away from their allies.

Placing a tank unit forward to absorb attacks from the three frontline units should allow the enemies to approach without swarming your team. You can then defeat them at your leisure.

Again, take care to avoid the Blue Flier's attack range after warping in through the Axe Flier's Flier Guidance 3.
