Loot

loots.jpg

Chest Key - A

This is the lone chest key in this battle. You will need to whip out your own key to open both chests in this battle or use a unit with the lockpick skill.

Killer Bow - B

A Killer Bow can be obtained from the sniper marked as B on the image above. Killer Bows have high critical rate which can be good for units like ashe who has a good dexterity growth rate.

Concoction - C

Nothing special. A restorative can be obtained from the Fortress Knight standing on the Heal Tile on the mid left area of the map.

Chests

Bolt Axe - A

The eastern side of the map contains a Bolt Axe. The Bolt Axe is an axe weapon that deals magic damage. This is great for units that has a high magic stat but also excels in the axe like Annette.

Silver Shield - B

The western chest contains a Silver Shield.

Map Features

Tiles

Tiles Description
Heal Tile + + 1 Def, + 1 Res, and +30% HP per turn
Crater -20% movement, -1 Res, and -20% HP per turn.

Reinforcements

Rodrigue Reinforcements
Rodrigue will appear as an allied reinforcement on the north easternmost side of the map but will probably be more of a hindrance than an aid. Make sure you rush to their side to prevent their deaths.

Tips and Tricks

Lure Enemies to Fire Pits

firepits
You can hold your units at the other side of a crater and entice your opponents to come to you, leaving them stuck on the fire pits.

Use Flying Units

Fliers are not affected by the wastelands or the craters, so they are an ideal choice in this map.

Counter Armored Enemies with Magic

The majority of your opponents are in heavy armor, so bring your magic users to make short work of them.
