Chapter 14 (Golden Deers) - Map and Overview

Enlarge

Chapter 14 (Golden Deers) - Enemies

You will be facing Imperial Soldiers. Most of them are mounted and long-range so do not take them lightly. Randolph is accompanied by a squad of fortress knights, with warriors and a warlock to deal damage.

When there are only 5 enemy units left, Randolph will leave the Heal Tile+ and rush to your position.

Enemy Stats

Loot

There are two lootable items in this map.

Brave Lance

A Brave Lance is definitely worth it, due to the double attack. More often than not, in the hands of a skilled lance user, it allows them to defeat enemies in one battle. It's also in the to Randolph, so you'll encounter it anyway unless you flank from the right.

Magic Bow

A bow that deals magic damage instead of physical, targeting Res instead of Def. Good to have for archers with decent Mag skill, especially versus armored and flying units.

Chapter 14 (Golden Deers) - Chests

There are no chests in this battle.

Chapter 14 (Golden Deers) - Map Features

A wide map with few adjacent spaces, you can easily lose your allies if you are not careful. The area is surrounded by terrain only navigable by fliers, as well as fences you can destroy.

Terrain Types

Chapter 14 (Golden Deers) - Tips and Tricks

Equip Unit-Effective Weapons

Most of the enemy units are armored, and with new weapons in the Armory, you should be able to get swords and axes that can pierce through armor. The Golden Deers house also has a lot of archers so you should be strong against flying units.

Go on Defense

We highly recommend staying on the backline and waiting for the enemies to approach you. If most of your units are archers and mages, you could be easily wiped out. Stay on the defensive side of the battle and let the long-ranged units attack from afar, and let the tankier units be in front.

Secure the Onagers

Depending on your strategy, if you want to push the enemies back, make sure to secure the onager for the other allies (NPCs).
