The Defense of Fodlan's Locket Walkthrough

	Objectives
1	Split your units to take the north and south sides of the map, be sure to balance out each team.
2	Proceed forward and take as many bases as you can along the way.
3	Once you've defeated Almyran Forces, open the drawbridge on your side. Note that these can only be opened on one side.
4	Once you've made it across, aim for the north and south strongholds!
5	Optional: Send your closest units to save the Alliance Soldiers from Wyvern Riders. Claude is one of the best to send as he has an advantage over them.
6	Optional: Send a team to defeat Nader. Since he is at the center, you can also defeat him with Shez.
7	By taking the strongholds, your soldiers will have access to Ballista and can put down the drawbridge to proceed.
8	You will now have to take as many strongholds as possible to overwhelm the enemy. Optional: Defeat the Messenger to stop them from calling reinforcements! They're likely to come from the south, so prepare your southern team to intercept them immediately.
9	Optional: Defeat the Wyvern Riders attacking the Allied Base! 3 Units will go after your current bases. You can send a few of your own units over to protect it while you take the remaining Strongholds.
10	Shahid will open the gates to join in the fight, defeat him to end the battle.
