Hugh and Niime Strategy

Use a Hit and Run Strategy!

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

Stay out of the range of the enemy units on the first turn while repositioning your team, since the enemies will not engage until you step into their threat range. Once ready, initiate on any of the generic enemies using a ranged unit with 3 movement, and then use movement Assists, refresher assists, and Canto effects to retreat and get your units out of range.

The enemies will then approach your units but be unable to reach them.

If you have Emblem Sigurd or Brave Felix (equipped with an area-of-effect Special), you can use their superior movement to quickly deal massive damage in an area and then use their extra action to retreat to safety afterwards. This will reduce the number of foes remaining while forcing them to advance forward into their demise.

Simply snipe units one at a time while retreating to safety afterwards and this map will be completed quickly.

Alternatively, Use a Tanking Strategy!

You can also adopt a tanking strategy to clear this map, as none of the enemies in this map are too threatening except for Hugh and Niime with their pre-charged Specials. However, since both of them deal magical damage, you can opt into bringing a pure magical tank to soak their attacks. A physical damage tank with a Distant Counter effect works well against Niime due to her Crystalline Water reducing her Def stat.

Use the first few turns to set up your formation, and then place your tank unit in range of the enemies on the right side while keeping the support units out of range. With enough support, both the Lance Flier and Niime will fall on the first turn.

When baiting from the right side, only Niime and the Lance Flier will be able to reach your bait unit. Take advantage of this by using a unit that can tank both of their attacks and defeat them in retaliation.

The other enemies will begin advancing, but be unable to reach your units. You can then take advantage of this by only placing tank units in range of 1-2 enemies at once, or by using offensive units to clear the remaining enemies. Be careful with the Cleric, as she has Magic Shield+ to grant herself an extra action and Trilemma+ which can skew combat heavily if your unit has weapon triangle disadvantage!

Retain this strategy for the successive turns and eventually all the enemies will fall.
