Thicket	+40% Avo, +2 Def, No effect on fliers
Heal Tile +	30% HP healed per turn, +1 Def, +1 Res

Chapter 3 - Tips and Tricks

Protect Your Allies

You battle along with Catherine and two other Church Soldiers. If they survive til the end, you get a Secret Book and a Goddess Icon. You can keep them alive by engaging all enemies before they do, or healing them with your white mages after they fight.

Beware of Ambush

The battlefield is covered in mist so be careful where you place your units; many of the enemies are hiding in the trees waiting to ambush you.

Take Out the Gaspard Commander

Map being revealed after the commander's death.

Press forward together with Catherine until you reach the Gaspard Commander, defeat him to remove the fog.

Finish Off All Enemies Before Lonato

After Lonato reveals himself, leave him be for a while and take out the rest of the stragglers in hiding to prevent a pincer attack later on.

Armored Units Are Weak to Magic

One of the Gaspard Soldiers is wearing heavy armor and takes little to no damage from anything but axes and magic.

Use Knightkneeler On Lonato

Once all the Militia units are down, head for Lonato and defeat him. Having a spear user with the ability Knighkneeler can easily break Lonato due to his Cavalry class.
