Vigarde Strategy

Use Player Phase Strategies

This map has no refresher enemies, and multiple 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. Ensure you defeat the Blue Mage quickly, as she has Canto Control 3 to prevent post-combat movement.

Ranged cavalry units can reach both the Sword Infantry and the Axe Knight, allowing you to defeat them on the first turn. This is especially important for the Axe Knight, as his Hardy Fighter 3 will charge up Aegis on the first enemy phase. Knock him out on the first turn while his Aegis is down!

Vigarde has limited mobility as an armored unit, only moving 1 space per turn and starting all the way at the back of the map. Take advange of this by attacking the other foes and retreating to safety afterwards, keeping out of the armored units range.

Additionally, the two large walls at the left and right sides of the map prevent the last two reinforcements from reaching your units. Take care against the Bow Flier on turn 3, as she has Guidance 4 to allow warping which can lead to a surprise knockout.

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. Ninja Corrin (F) gets a special mention for being a cavalry tome unit, which can reach further with her longer threat range and attack Vigarde's weaker Res stat.

Tank Strategies are also viable

With the lack of powerful enemies and refresher units on this map, a tanking strategy is a great method to achieve victory. A tanking strategy also neutralizes the effects of Vigarde's D/R Near Save 3, allowing you to safely absorb his attacks and knock him out on the return hits.

Additionally, with Vigarde located at the far end of the map, the only enemies you will be facing early on are generic enemies that can be safely defeated on enemy phase with any halfway-decent tank unit backed up by support units.

We suggest fielding one offensive unit to deal with the Troubadour, as she has both Pain+ and Savage Blow 3 to deal splash damage that can chip down your tank units.
