Chapter 1 - Tips and Tricks

Terrain, Magic, and Combat Arts Are Your Friends

Take advantage of terrain, Magic, and Combat Arts to defeat as many enemies as possible.

Use Range To Your Advantage

Targeting ranged units with melee units and vice versa will prevent you from taking damage during a turn.

Keep Allies Close

Position your units near allies to help increase their support level and make use of linked attacks.

Prioritize House Leaders and Instructors

The house leaders and their instructors are your biggest threats, so taking them out quickly is advised.
