Strategy
| This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody. |
For theBirthright path, your starting lineup consists of everyone you had access to for Chapter 5 plus Felicia/Jakob. Rinkah has surprisingly poor Strength for an axe unit, but she has decent bulk and gives good bulk with her Pair-Up bonuses. Kaze is in the coveted Ninja class, giving him high Speed and unrestricted two-range weapons to help him deal with theBirthright route's emphasis on enemy quantity over quality. Sakura is a basic healer; she has surprisingly good Strength, making her a solid Priestess. Azura is very good for a Dancer owing to her good join time, and can actually become a decent glass cannon in addition to her traditional Dancer role. Felicia and Jakob are both very good early game healers due to their early access to endgame-level skills. In particular, Felicia makes great use of the Flame Shuriken. You have room to experiment a bit with your Avatar on theBirthright route due to the lower difficulty; +Speed/-Luck is never a bad choice. If playing as a male, the Fighter class is the best to pass on to Reina since she can get great Pair-Up bonuses as a Berserker, while the Samurai class is the best to pass on to Scarlet since Vantage works very well with her personal skill In Extremis. You also have temporary control of the Hoshidan royal siblings, but they can't gain experience.
Corrin and Felicia/Jakob should tag-team the Fighter, while Kaze and Rinkah should tag-team the Outlaw. Hinoka and Takumi should block off the bridge while disposing of Leo. Azura can dance for anyone who needs it, and Sakura should heal Hinoka. Finally, Ryoma should move onto Leo's old spot and kill the Cavalier so that Takumi will not be defeated on the enemy phase. Xander will then attack Ryoma. If he crits, that's that; if not, you can finish him off on turn 2.
Trivia
- On aConquest cartridge, the game cannot proceed past this point without the player purchasing and downloading theBirthright campaign as DLC.
- Elise is the only Nohr royal sibling who is not fought outside of this chapter.
