Zeiss Strategy

Use Player Phase Strategies

This map has no reinforcements, no refresher enemies, and no enemies with movement assists, making it the ideal situation for a Hit and Run composition.

The enemies will not move forward until you step onto their threat range or you engage in combat first.

To begin, position your units on the first turn. When ready, use a ranged unit with magic damage to defeat the Lance Knight. Despite him having D/R Far Save 3 and Hardy Fighter 3 with Aegis, his low Res stat leaves him vulnerable to heavy nukers.

Upon defeating the Lance Knight, use movement assists like Reposition to get your units to safety. The other enemies will then approach, but be unable to attack.

Pick off the foes one by one, retreating past the danger area after each attack.

Be aware of various warping skills equipped by the enemies such as Zeiss with Aerobatics 3 and Air Orders 4, and the Sword Dragon with Guidance 4.

Tank Strategies are also viable

Tank strategies are also viable on this map as there are no enemy units that are too threatening, except for Zeiss himself. However, since his nuking power is tied to Dragon Fang, and it starts off at only 1 cooldown, it is possible to tank his initial attack and then defeat him on the counterattack before he can trigger Dragon Fang.

The enemies do not move until you either attack them or you step into their threat ranges, giving you ample time to set up.

The tanking strategy for this map is quite simple. To start, bait the Cleric first on the lowest tile in the danger area. She will warp forward with the assistance of the Sword Dragon's Guidance 4.

After the enemies have all advanced, move your tank unit forward and keep the support units behind him/her. Use the choke point created by the unbreakable walls to funnel the enemies onto your tank unit and defeat them one at a time.
