Archanea Saga

Navarre is fast enough to double every enemy at base with anIron Sword except the reinforcementThieves, for which he needs a single point ofspeed, andVaam, for which he needs two. He lacks thestrength to do significant damage to theKnights without anArmorslayer, but he can one-round them with one.Rickard avoids being doubled by faster enemies, but he fails to do significant damage to them. As the only Thief, and thus the only one capable of opening chests, he can contribute outside of combat; the most important chest is likely the one to the southwest, containing aKilling Edge.Lena carries aHeal and aWarp, allowing her to send other units across long distances; sending Navarre to fight Vaam and acquire the Armorslayer or Rickard to the Killing Edge chest early may be desirable.Castor gets doubled by the Thieves, but he can survive three rounds of combat with them without avoiding any hits. He can deal enough damage to the Thieves to defeat them in two hits or allow Rickard to finish them off; Castor requires one point of speed to double the Knights, but will likely not do more than a point or two of damage to them.Malice serves a similar function to Navarre, with slightly more defense and the ability to double every enemy at base, whileDice is capable of one-shotting the Knights with theDevil Axe and has enough HP to survive multiple rounds of combat with every enemy type on the map.

TheVulneraries will likely only be useful to units too far from Lena to get healing, but they require Rickard to open the chest or an enemy to drop it; one or two may be useful towards the beginning if Navarre or Rickard is warped to the west of the map, but the Vulnerary in the northeast will only see use if more than two units are critically injured and in danger. Likewise, by the time thatMend could be safely obtained, the map will nearly be over, and it is unlikely that anyone will be in need of so much healing.
