Beginning log

Having narrowly escapedDaein's grasp theGreil Mercenaries are pleased to feel the ocean beneath their feet as they set sail. According to CaptainNasir, the voyage toBegnion will take roughly two months. Blessed with temperate weather the ship's journey southward is smooth and steady. As it passes the midpoint of its trip, the ship sets a course along the coastline and begins to head east. These seas belong toPhoenicis andKilvas, the kingdoms of the bird tribes.Both nations prey on human vessels for supplies and wealth, and their flying corsairs are feared across the seas. Additionally, the southern portion of the continent contains the realm of the dragon tribe: the monarchy ofGoldoa. This country remained isolated founding centuries past, preserving its closed culture behind a veil of mystery. It is these laguz-controlled waters thatIke and company must now cross.

Strategy

This mission is exclusively against Ravens, who sport goodspeed, but lowattack. As such, you will either want to deploy units fast enough to not be doubled, or with high enoughdefense and HP to survive their attacks.Rolf and mages packingWind tomes are good deploys here, as they possess high hit and effective damage. Note that effective damage inPath of Radiance is only a ×2 bonus toweapon might instead of the usual ×3, meaning a baseWind tome goes from 2 might to 4 might for a mere +2 damage, for example.Elwind, if it was obtained from the previous mission, at least goes from 4 to 8 might, thankfully.Sothe joins this chapter, but the onlyThief utility is a singleCoin (three in Maniac mode) to be stolen. You can technically steal the boss'sElixir, but the stats required are extremely high (with a significant amount of bonus experience likely being required), and is not recommended.

It is okay to deploy a few frail units like healers and mages — especially if their speed growth has been good enough to not be doubled—but do not deploy too many, or else forming up around them to protect them can be tricky. Taking advantage of the fact that the Ravens cannot attack from uneven terrain is very helpful for forming defensive formations.

Jill will recruit herself by flying to Ike, as long as you leave her a space to stand on next to Ike. Note that tiles on the ship and ocean tiles immediately next to them can only be attacked across with range 2 weapons.

Be careful with Jill and Marcia about inviting Ravens to engage off the ship — in general, it is better to invite the Ravens onto the ship to let your other units have a go at them.
