Magic Heavy Composition

As shown in the enemy classes above, most units in this stage consists of magic user so fortress knights (sorry Dedue) will have a rough time in this battle.

Myson

Myson's spell has a high range and the power to instantly reduce its target's HP to 1. This disregards Resistance as well, so once a unit is hit, they become incredibly vulnerable to a follow-up attack.

• Attack Myson and kill him as soon as you're in range (take note that he is between rooms that each have a few enemies and a demonic beast)
• Send units with high Avo against him to dodge the attacks.
• Avoid the eastern corridor altogether by going through the western corridor. His range extends to the bottom right quarter of the main hall.

Chapter 22 (Blue Lions) - Tips and Tricks

Edelgard's Long Range

Edelgard has a long ranged attack that can reach most of the map. She will do it twice at the start of each phase, to two different people. It starts with the stats of 0 Mt and 0 Hit, but increases each turn. This means that it can reach massive damage on the chance that it hits. While it is easily avoided, do not take too long as any hit can cause death if attacked again. The range is even longer in Hard and Maddening mode.

Assassinating Myson

One of the best ways to make the battle easier is by defeating Myson on the 1st turn. This can be done by warping a high damage unit directly to Myson and attacking him. Do not be afraid against retaliation since the enemies surrounding Myson arre mostly mysterious soldiers that will retreat upon his death.

The Mysterious Mages

The battlefield is littered with several mysterious soldiers so taking out Myson will greatly shift the battle to your favor.

The units marked above are mysterious mages, while all others are imperial soldiers. Upon defeating Myson, all the other mysterious mages will withdraw. This will clear out a good number of units in the western corridor.

Bring a High Res Roster

Most of the units here are capable of using magic, save for a few. Make sure your army can hold their own against magic users, so do not rely too heavily on Fortress Knights, bring Pegasus Knights, etc.

Bring Pure Waters

Stay hydrated folks!

Pure Waters increase your unit's Res temporarily. This is an effective strategy to use in this battle due to the sheer amount of magic users on the enemy team.

Maximize Your Item/Equipment Use

This is the last level, so do not be afraid to use all your items and your Hero Relics. Bring out all the big guns and unleash hell.
