Monica and Edelgard Strategy

Use an offensive Player Phase strategy!

Any offensive strategy can help you clear this map, especially with the the lack of reinforcements and enemy refresher units on the enemy side. It also helps that all units are next to each other, allowing you to use more complex strategies to get the win.

The enemies on this map do not move until you either attack first, or step into their range. With this in mind, you can use a simple hit-and-run strategy to force enemies to approach you while running back to safety with the help of any Canto skills or refresher units. With this strategy, approaching from the left side is easier, in order to avoid any mobility restrictions with the trees on the right side.

The Sword Knight has A/D Far Save 3, but he does not cover Monica and the Red Mage. Position your units properly, and then pick them off once you're ready. Retreat to safety afterwards and allow the enemies to run in on subsequent turns.

Alternatively, use a tanking strategy!

The enemies here can be defeated with a tanking strategy easily, as long as proper support is present.

Approach from either the very left or the very right in order to cut the map in half, allowing your tank units to withstand the attacks thrown their way. Heal them up during your player phase turns and simply wait for the enemies to approach.
