Strategy

This map features onlyBerserkers andSwordmasters. Despite their high critical hit rates, they're not overly challenging.Fir andRutger can easily tackle this map. If you're aiming for a high rank, consider deployingWyverns,Falcon Knights,Nomads, andPaladins – preferably those armed with swords oraxereavers. Magic is also effective. Feel free to use the legendary weapons too; the game doesn't keep track of their use, so they'll be available for subsequent Trial maps.
