Murdock Strategy

Use Player Phase Strategies

This map has no refresher enemies and most of the foes lack mobility skills. This is a great map for a Hit and Run strategy.

The Lance Knight is within striking distance right at the start of the map. His Even Follow-Up 3 skill is useless on odd-numbered turns, including turn 1. Defeat him quickly, and then use movement skills or Canto effects to move your units away from the enemy threat range.

Murdock has A/D Far Save 3 to protect his allies from ranged attacks. However, Murdock himself is slow and has no skills that prevent follow-up attacks. Take advantage of this by using a fast ranged unit, ideally one that attacks his weaker Res stat, to defeat Murdock quickly.

The remaining generic enemies aren't too powerful and they lack skills that allow them to move more spaces than they otherwise would. Take advantage of this by defeating enemies using offensive units and then retreating to safety afterwards.

The exception is the Axe Dragon that spawns on turn 2, as he has Even Tempest 3 to provide extra movement on even-numbered turns.

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. This strategy also neutralizes Murdock completely, rendering his A/D Far Save 3 skill useless as well as exploiting his armored unit movement by lagging behind the rest of the foes.

Savior skills aren't necessary for a tanking strategy, but they make the map easier to clear.

If not using Savior skills, ensure that any support units you bring are out of range of the enemies. This is made easier through the lack of mobility skills on the generic enemies.

If using Savior skills, bring a healer as a support unit to keep your tanks healthy.
