The list also does not include anybonus units, as they are recruitable at the player's discretion.

Strategy
| This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody. |
It is best to challenge this map after Chapter 8 so that Robin can get experience as a promoted class. Deploy Chrom, Robin, Sumia, and Cordelia. Sumia's job is to act as Chrom's troop transport and keep him out of danger while Robin rides Cordelia to the front lines and cleans house. Note that several Barbarians will ignore you until the village is secured or destroyed, meaning you can put Cordelia in front with less concern for her safety. Your ability to save the village is entirely dependent on whether Anna manages to kill the two approaching Barbarians before she is inevitably overrun, giving Robin time to arrive and relieve her. Hawkeye (for both the Barbarians and the nearby Archer), Counter, and Pavise (for the Barbarians) are all extremely troublesome skills to face. Other than that, this is pretty much a straightforward rout map.
Trivia
- The map of this chapter resembles a portion to the north of the map ofChapter 4 ofGenealogy of the Holy War.
