Strategy

Team Division:

• Left Path Group: Equip units withArmorslayers,Ridersbanes, and/or magic to handle various threats.
• Middle Path Group: This group should comprise of sturdy units a healer to confront enemyGenerals andPaladins.
• Right Path Group: This smaller team should include units with high HP and magic, prepared to tackle theManakete near the bridge.
• If the team is low on diversity and strength, move through a single path instead.

Key Considerations During Battle:

• Ymir remains stationary unless attacked or if a unit enters his attack range. Talk to him withMarth to recruit him after the chapter.
• OneBishop holds aFortify staff, so plan on eliminating units in one turn. Keep your low resistance units a safe distance away from the other Bishop with theSwarm tome.

Boss Encounter:

• Larissa, a General, is susceptible to magic attacks. A focused magical onslaught should secure victory in one turn.

New Unit:

• Ymir, a pre-promoteWarrior and decent filler unit. His base Strength is sufficient to one-shot enemy Paladins with a +4 might Poleax for the next two chapters.
