Lapis and Citrinne Strategy

Use a Hit and Run Strategy!

This map has no reinforcements and no refresher foes, making a Hit and Run strategy viable.

Both Lapis and the Sword Dragon are in range to be defeated by ranged cavalry units on turn one. Do so, and then use your own refresher assists, movement assists like Reposition, or post-combat movement effects like Canto to retreat to safety.

We highly recommend attacking on turn one, since Citrinne's bonuses such as Atk/Spd/Def/Res+6, 【Null Follow-Up】 from Lapis' Inf. Spd Tactic, and 【Incited】 from Citrinne's Incite Atk/Res aren't duplicated by Tome of Luxuries yet.

The enemies will then approach your team but be unable to reach your units. You can use the following turns to pick them off at your leisure.

Keep in mind that the Blue Flier has a warping effect through Atk/Spd Oath 4, allowing him to extend his threat range beyond the usual two movement.

Alternatively, Use a Tanking Strategy!

You can also adopt a tanking strategy to clear this map, as you can separate a group of enemies from the rest. However, we recommend bringing along a ranged unit whose specific role is to defeat Citrinne in one combat.

Using a tanking strategy renders the Axe Knight near-useless, as he exists solely to shield allies with his A/D Near Save 3. He 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 the bottom part of the map, staying away from Citrinne's threat range. The enemies will then approach your units and attack if possible.

Use your next turn to defeat Citrinne, as she is the most threatening unit on the map. She can take her own bonuses and grant them to her allies, making them more powerful than usual. Notably, enemies with Atk/Spd/Def/Res+6, 【Null Follow-Up】 from Lapis' Inf. Spd Tactic, and 【Incited】 from Citrinne's Incite Atk/Res may have just enough firepower to bust through your tank unit if given the opportunity to gang up on them.

With Citrinne out of the way, the remaining enemies aren't too threatening and can be safely taken care of on enemy phase by your tank unit(s).
