Strategy / General Tips

• You should deal with the mages first, and then focus on the knights due to their limited movement.
• Having Draw Back or Reposition will help in moving your units away from danger zones.
• Try to utilize the weapon triangle advantage for increased damage.

Unit Recommendations

• High ATK mages are the best for this map, due to the armored knights' low RES and Wary Fighter which will prevent from doubling. Examples:
  • Red: Sanaki, Lilina
  • Blue: Linde
  • Green: Julia, Nino
• Olivia is great here due to her Dance assist, which can be used to attack with a strong unit twice or to move someone to a safer spot. Her Hone Attack is a great buff as well. Azura or Ninian can be used as alternatives.
• From the Battling Zephiel summoning focus:
  • Reinhardt with proper support can deal with everyone, thanks to Dire Thunder which is unaffected by Wary Fighter as it counts as a Brave weapon. Olwen can be used as an alternative.
  • Nowi with a healer and a dancer can accomplish a similar role to Reinhardt.
  • Despite being in the banner, Hana and Frederick are not the best units to use on this map, due to the Knights' high DEF. They can deal some damage to them thanks to Armorslayer+/Hammer+, but mages are still preferred over them.
