Strategy

This map is straightforward. To access it though, you need to finish the game twice, ensuring you have bothNarcian andGalle on your team. Deploy them alongside yourPegasus Knights,Melady andZeiss. Be sure to monitor Galle and Narcian's health closely. Even though they are adept at handling many foes, accumulated damage might lead to their downfall.

Prioritize eliminating theSage and theDruid swiftly. While they are not particularly tough, they can be bothersome. The foes to truly watch out for are those equipped with Killer weapons or weapons effective against specific classes. If possible, position ground units over some forts to maximize defense. Utilize flying units to transport them or use warp magic. Remember, flying units do not benefit from terrain bonuses.
