Bound Hero Battle: Læraðr & Níðhöggr Strategy

Use a Player Phase strategy with area-of-effect Specials and repeated actions

It is possible to clear this map with an offensive strategy if the team is properly built.

Due to the distance required to reach the enemy units, as well as Læraðr's Barricade preventing warping, it is almost impossible to reach the enemies on turn one. The exception is Emblem Sigurd, who has 5 movement and can immediately reach the Sword Knight.

If you have Emblem Sigurd, the strategy is simple. Place him on column 3, defeat the Sword Knight on turn one while dealing area-of-effect damage with Override, and then use his extra action to defeat Læraðr from the right side so that Override deals chip damage to Níðhöggr. Follow up with an area-of-effect Special user and a refresher unit on the left side to reach Níðhöggr and defeat her on turn one as well.

Engaging on turn one to ensures that both Læraðr and Níðhöggr aren't transformed, allowing players to attack them using ranged units without fear of retaliation.

Players can expand on this strategy by equipping chip damage effects such as Fury 4 on either Emblem Sigurd or the unit used to defeat Níðhöggr. Once Læraðr goes down, Barricade is no longer in play, allowing players to warp in using Wings of Mercy to clean up the enemies on turn one.

However, if you do not have Emblem Sigurd, the strategy is more difficult. Use turn one to position your units, but keep them out of range of the enemies. The enemies will move forward on turn one even if you are not in their danger area.

Slowly pick off the enemy units one at a time. You can take your time since both Læraðr and Níðhöggr are armored units and they will need a few turns before they can reach your units.

However, there are certain foes that you need to watch out for.

The Green Thief with Wings of Mercy 4 can warp forward and snipe your units. This is made easier with Læraðr's Quieting Branch applying 【Assign Decoy】to your lowest Def unit, allowing the Green Thief to burst them down. To counter this, ensure that none of the enemy units meet the HP threshold of Wings of Mercy 4.

The Axe Dragon and Sword Flier reinforments on turn 4 both have Guidance 4, allowing Læraðr and Níðhöggr to warp forward and attack your units. Keep your units away from these two and defeat them as soon as possible.

Once all of the generic enemies are dealt with, you can deal with both Læraðr and Níðhöggr. Either bring a unit that can prevent their counterattacks, or deal area-of-effect damage to them to bring them to low HP and defeat them in combat.

Alternatively, use Savior units to tank the enemies

An enemy phase tanking strategy is possible in this map, but requires proper teambuilding and positioning to avoid getting crippled by Læraðr's Quieting Branch applying 【Assign Decoy】to your lowest Def unit.

The easiest methods are to field Elimine to prevent Quieting Branch from triggering at the start of the enemy's turn, or field Freyr with Dream Deliverer to cleanse away 【Assign Decoy】 immediately after it is applied.

Alternatively, you can place your lowest Def unit away from the Savior Ball, but still in range of Læraðr's Quieting Branch to prevent 【Assign Decoy】from decimating your Savior Ball.

You will need a healer or a way to restore HP to sustain your tank's HP. Níðhöggr's Enticing Dose will deal pre-combat damage, wearing the tank unit down over time. Breath of Life 4 is a good counter, but may not be enough in some cases.

Group up with your Savior Ball + healer while keeping the lowest Def unit away from the group and wait for the enemies to attack your tank units and die in retaliation.

Once all the generic foes are dealt with, slowly whittle down Læraðr first, and then Níðhöggr.
