Jarod Strategy

Use Player Phase Strategies

This map has no refresher enemies and no enemies with movement assists, making it the ideal situation for a Hit and Run composition. It also helps that a small group of enemies are separated from the initial spawns, allowing your units to easily kite them while you slowly pick them off one at a time.

The enemies will advance on turn one regardless of whether you are in their threat range or not. Use the first turn to position your units to cover choke points and wait for the enemies to advance.

Use the next few turns to slowly clear the enemies, using refresher and movement assists to keep your units outside the danger area.

Keep in mind that two enemies spawn on the lower left corner of the map on turn two; the Red Mage and the Lance Fighter. Ensure you have a unit capable of defeating them in one round waiting nearby to take care of them.

Additionally, remember that the Red Mage has Canto Control 3 to prevent your units from retreating post-combat using Canto.

Tank Strategies are also viable

Tank strategies are also viable on this map as there are no enemy units that are too threatening. Jarod himself may pose a threat, but he can be left alone for a while until all the other generic enemies are defeated.

The enemies advance on the first turn even if your units are not in their threat range. Use the first turn to place your tank units in choke points while having support units at the bottom middle of the map, ready to provide assistance whenever necessary.

The enemies will then walk right into your tank units and enter combat, where your tank units can defeat them one at a time.

Keep in mind that both the Red Mage and the Lance Fighter spawn on the lower left corner of the map on turn two, right where your support units are. Ensure you have units capable of defeating them as they spawn in. A Lance Cavalier spawns in the same area on turn three as well.

A good team composition here is having three tank units and one support unit. The tank units can block off choke points on the middle left (near the two trenches), the lower left (near the starting area), and the lower right (below the impassable structure). The support unit can stand on the tile in the fourth column, second row from the bottom, and provide support to all three tank units at the same time.

If you have a Savior Ball team, then the strategy for this map is simpler than ever. Form a ball on turn one and end your turn, letting all the enemies approach. Have your support units heal or buff up the Savior tanks every turn and wait until all the enemies are dead.
