Ced and Asbel Strategy

Use a Hit and Run Strategy!

This map has no reinforcements, making a Hit and Run strategy viable. Attacking on turn one negates the effectiveness of the Lance Knight's Hardy Fighter 3 and Aegis combo, making it easier to burst him down with ranged attacks.

Bring a 3-move ranged unit with Reposition that can burst down the Lance Knight on turn one and a 3-move refresher unit. Use the Odd Tempest 3 Sacred Seal if you need it for the movement bonus.

Have the initiator unit attack on either columns 2 or 5. The Lance Knight will activate A/R Far Save 3 and cover for his ally, then die to your unit. Use the 3-move refresher unit to provide another action, and then retreat with Reposition.

The rest of the enemies will then advance forward but be unable to reach your units. Use the next few turns to clean up the rest of the map.

Alternatively, Use a Tanking Strategy!

You can also adopt a tanking strategy to clear this map, as all of the enemies are not too threatening offensively. Both Ced and Asbel are Green mages; bringing along a Red tank with high Res will go a long way here.

Using a tanking strategy renders the Sword Knight and Lance Knight near-useless, as they exist solely to shield allies with their Savior skills. They can be easily baited in and defeated once you've cleared the other enemies.

The enemies will not move until you step into their threat range. Bait the enemies in on either the left or the right side, placing the tank unit on the spaces to the left or right of the trenches. The tank unit will only receive two attacks, so with sufficient support, they should be able to survive.

Pick off the remaining enemies at your leisure.

Be mindful of Asbel having Escape Route 4, which can allow him to warp nearby other enemies when he is damaged. Fury 4 even provides the recoil damage for him to warp on his next turn.
