Strategy

This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

Overview:

1. Primary Objective: Save Archanean knights imprisoned in the upper left corner.
2. Enemy Threats: Mage, Archers, Knight, Sniper, Volzhin (boss), and reinforcements including Heimler and his men.
3. Treasures: Dragonpike chest, Boots (bottom right), and an armory selling swords.
4. Outcome: If you have 15 or fewer units alive at the chapter's end, you'll proceed to Chapter 12x.

New Unit Details:

1. Dolph: Outclasses Macellan except for luck and strength. Surpasses Draug in non luck and speed growths if trained, but inferior to Wolf, or Sedgar as a General.
2. Macellan: Inferior in most stats but has some advantages in luck and strength.
3. Tomas: Suitable Gordin or Castor replacement if they're untrained/dead. Not worthwhile if you have a trained bowman.
4. Midia: Inferior to a trained Cavalier. Recruits Astram.
5. Boah: Poor stats and growths. Useful for his C staff rank, can use Warp and Physic immediately.

Strategy:

1. Initial Action: Warp a strong unit (Caeda, Wolf, or Sedgar) to eliminate the Mage. The nearby Knight won't aggro. Leave a few robust units for reinforcements and move west.
2. Turn 3: Heimler and his team aggro. Reinforcements appear. Defend and eliminate threats. Have a Thief begin looting the treasure room. The General inside won't aggro.
3. Handling the Sniper: Position a unit on the Dragonpike chest. The enemy Curate won't move. The Sniper will adjust his position. Open the door, weaken Sniper with Caeda's Silver Lance, and finish him with a ranged attack.
4. Concluding the Chapter: Pick off remaining Curates. Deal with boss Volzhin using Caeda. Retrieve the Boots. Optionally visit the armory, but avoid Armorslayers (you should have a free one and swords are generally inferior in this game).

Trivia

• In Shadow Dragon, there is a forest tile that lacks the visual distinction of one; this forest is distinct in Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light.
• This map is reused for Chapter 20 of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem Book II.
