Legendary Hero Battle - Sakura Strategy

Use Player Phase Units!

Using a player phase strategy is the best option on this map if you have the units to clear multiple enemies quickly in one turn. This strategy is used in order to avoid getting in range of any of the foes, especially since most of them will be buffed with warping and other movement effects from Legendary Sakura's Salvage.

The enemies will move on the first turn even if you did not step into the danger area.

The difficult part with this strategy is if you are unable to defeat Legendary Sakura on the first turn. She will be using Ice Lock+ to heal her allies, and more importantly, create Ice Terrain which will hinder your sweep.

If you cannot defeat Legendary Sakura on the first turn, we recommend an Enemy Phase strategy instead. However, if you can, using units like Emblem Sigurd or Brave Felix, then a quick player phase strategy works wonders on this map.

If you have Emblem Sigurd or Brave Felix, just kill as many enemies as you can on the first turn and retreat to safety afterwards, slowly picking off the enemies until the map is cleared. Be aware of two enemy reinforcements with Canto Control 3 and take them out first to avoid getting hindered in your retreat.

If you do not have either of those two units, the strategy is different.

To start, use a ranged cavalry unit to defeat the Lance Fighter on the right side, and then use refresher and movement effects to retreat to safety. The enemies will rush toward your units but be unable to reach. Legendary Sakura herself will use Ice Lock+ and then Canto backward, putting her out of range of your units, which is good for now as you want to focus on clearing the generic foes.

Simply pick off the units one at a time and retreat afterwards, ensuring you keep out of their range. Once you are able to attack Legendary Sakura, take her out first as she is the most dangerous enemy on this map.

Be careful with reinforcement foes that equip warping effects like Assault Troop 3 and Wings of Mercy 4, as their threat range can be deceptive.

An Enemy Phase strategy is also viable!

Using a tanking strategy is easier to pull off, but requires specific units and supports. The most important of which is having a tank unit that can neutralize effects that prevent counterattacks, as you want to be able to retaliate against Legendary Sakura.

A unit like Ice Tribe Fjorm or Emblem Ike works wonders on this map, as they have this effect built-in.

If you don't have a tank unit with this effect, we recommend balling up into a Savior Ball, with a healer support to keep your Far Save tank healthy from Legendary Sakura's attacks. The Mystic Boost 3 Sacred Seal will cut her damage in half and heal your tank unit at the same time, making it the perfect Sacred Seal for your Far Save tank.

You can either use only one tank unit and bait on the right side, or two tank units and bait from both the left and the right.

We suggest placing a tank and a healer on the right side, and an offensive unit and a refresher on the left side. Use the tank and support combo to bait units on the right side, keeping your tank healthy by healing them whenever you can.

As for the left side, use the offensive unit to pick off enemies on that side, and the refresher to give them an extra action to retreat to safety and use Reposition on the refresher to keep them safe as well.
