Damage Calculator Tool

Legendary Hero Battle - Alear (F) Strategy

Use Player Phase Units!

Using player phase units with multiple actions, usually through Galeforce or the use of Duo/Harmonized Skills, is a legitimate strategy in this map, since the enemies approach on the first turn even if you do not step into their threat range.

Use the first turn to position your units, and then clear as many as you can while keeping or moving yourself out of threat range using movement assists like Reposition.

The key generic units to remember are the Red Manakete and Axe Dragon on turn 2, and the Sword Fighter on turn 3. The Red Manakete and Axe Dragon have Even Tempest 3; keep this in mind and do not rely on the default danger area being shown. The Sword Fighter has Canto Control 3 to restrict post-combat movement; kill him first if possible.

The most dangerous enemy on this map, predictably, is Legendary Alear (F). With Null C-Disrupt 4 and Distant Counter (D), it is not safe to attack her with ranged units as she will defeat them on retaliation. Her damage reduction effects will keep her alive and then the brave attack and adaptive damage from Dragon's Fist will easily defeat any ranged units you send to attack her.

If you have a unit that can pierce damage reduction using skills like Special Spiral 4, Lethality or Deadeye, we recommend using those units. Rearmed Ophelia is great here with her high Atk and repeatable Special thanks to Special Spiral 4. Try to have her Special trigger on her first attack to have Special Spiral 4 bypass Alear's damage reduction effects.

Otherwise, we recommend using a Red melee unit with high Res to slowly whittle down Alear.

Fallen Julia gets a special mention here with her color advantage, high Res, and Light and Dark disabling adaptive damage. She will be an excellent unit to use against Legendary Alear (F).

You can even bring your own Legendary Alear (F) and provide ally support to have both units bypass the enemy Alear's damage reduction effects!

A Tanking Strategy is also viable!

It is also possible to form up into a ball and use Savior Tanks to enemy phase the entire map, but it requires significant support to keep the tank units alive.

Due to the enemy units approaching on the first turn, use your first turn to set up your formation immediately. Place the tank unit in range of a handful of foes, but not all of them at once. With enough support, your tank unit should survive and retaliate back for knockouts.

There are multiple debuffing effects on the enemy units such as the the Blue Fafnir's and Sword Fighter's Panic Ploy 3 and the Cleric's Sabotage Res 3. To counter these, we recommend either avoiding visible bonuses altogether, or using Unity effects from skills like Atk/Res Unity or even Legendary Robin (M)'s Master's Tactics providing the 【Grand Strategy】 status effect to turn the debuffs into bonuses.

The Green Thief reinforcement on turn 3 carries Lethality and Windsweep 3. Keep her in mind as she can punch through your tank units if her Special triggers.

Finally, for Legendary Alear (F) herself, we recommend using a Red melee tank unit with decent/high Res to withstand her attacks and slowly whittle her down, keeping the tank unit alive with your supports. Alternatively, if you have a unit that can pierce damage reduction, use them to deal significant damage against Alear.
