| Strategy | Description | Cost |
|---|---|---|

Main Objectives
1. Defeat the Imperial Army vanguard! 2. Advance on Randolph and watch out for mercenary ambushers! 3. Defeat Fleche! 4. Defeat the mercenary raiders and prevent them from infiltrating the Allied Base! 5. Defeat Randolph! Side Objectives ・ Defeat the Tricksters and aid the Paladin ・ Defeat Byleth! |
|
| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Preparing for Byleth's Recruitment. Before the battle, you will need to unlock the Locate Ambushers Strategy. This will be found at a Survey Spot labeled Menja Territory on the map. |
| 2 |  At the start of the battle, select the Locate Ambushers Strategy. Be sure to save before the battle, since you'll miss your chance to recruit Byleth if you fail! |
| 3 |  Defeat the Imperial Army vanguard! At the start of the battle, have four of your controllable units assigned to one Imperial Army vanguard with one support unit tied one to each. It is recommended to have Shez take on the center vanguards in preparation for their next move. |
| 3 |  Stay in Position and Wait for the Strategy Prompt! Use the Locate Ambushers Strategy after defeating the Imperial Army vanguards. This is important to do, as pushing further and getting caught by the mercenaries will rob you off your chance of recruiting Byleth. |
| 4 |  Prevent Units from Getting Caught! This is where things get tricky. If any of your units are seen by a Mercenary, the objective will change and you won't be able to recruit Byleth. Use an All-Out Defense on the bottom-right stronghold to get them out of the way. |
| 5 |  Follow the Green Arrow Path! A green arrow will appear on your map which will show the way to go to avoid any Mercenaries. Follow it and defeat any Stronghold Leaders on the way to open closed gates. If you succeed, the objective will change to Defeat Fleche. |
| 6 |  Defeat Fleche! A new Main Mission will appear to defeat the Mercenaries and prevent them from infiltrating the Allied Base. Complete this objective, then Defeat Fleche. Note that the side mission Defeating the Tricksters is optional and won't affect Byleth's recruitment at all. |
| 7 |  Ignore Byleth and Defeat Randolph! A new Main Mission will appear to Defeat Randolph. Complete this mission before Byleth reaches Randolph. Ignore the Side Mission to Defeat Byleth. If you defeat Byleth, you will not be able to recruit them. |
| 8 |  Byleth and Jeralt Joins Your Party! If you successfully defeat Randolph without defeating Byleth, the battle will end, and both Byleth and Jeralt will join your party! |
