Strategy

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

The map starts with a terrifying 9 witches on the map to begin with, and they all have Thunder for 1-3 range. As such, it is imperative to kill as many of them as possible before they get a turn and potentially gang-up on someone. Unfortunately, they start too far away for foot units to reach, so it's up to the mounted units to get rid of them. Leon can take one, Conrad another, Palla and Catria one each (don't send them to attack the ones in the forest; they can miss), Est can get another if she's trained and Cavalier-line or Bow Knight Atlas can get a sixth. Unfortunately, you can't get them all, so there's no choice but to endure the assault.

Have Genny Invoke her Soldiers and make sure to do it away from the rest of the group; witch AI really likes to pick off isolated units, and they like it even more when they squash the Soldiers flat. Hopefully, some of them will be distracted on the Invoke fodder. From there, try to keep other, witch-vulnerable, units clumped together to dissuade the AI from going for them. Notably, Valbar has 0 RES; as a Baron, he will speed tie the Witches on Normal, but he needs to gain a point of SPD as a Baron on Hard to avoid being doubled; if he isn't getting doubled, then the Coral Ring ensures he survives 3 Witches, enough that he can be deployed fairly safely. However, if he is being doubled, then it's better to bench him for safety, even if he stacks up well against the rest of the enemy roster.

After cleaning up the rest of the Witches, it's time to move on over to the fort. Jamil has the Upheaval spell, which he can charge up and use to attack all of your units at once. However, that damage is never lethal, though it can leave units on low-HP and ready to be picked off by other enemies. The enemies inside the gate are mostly Dread Fighters and Arcanists; Valbar will squash the Dread Fighters flat, if you got him through the Witch onslaught; on Hard, there's a Dread Fighter with a Lightning Sword who will badly damage, but not kill, Valbar. Valbar is actually quite safe against him as the other enemies can't really finish him off unless he is hit by Upheaval. The Death Arcanists do hit very hard, so it's better to shoot them from outside of their range with bows. On Hard, the Fiends get Javelins, which can be a blessing in disguise as they will aggro onto, and get counterattacked by, your mages across the wall, though their range does not overlap with 1-3 range Death casters, so they should be baited and fought independently. Assassinate the Cantor to rid the place of Gargoyles and send strong units to duel Jamil until he goes down and the map should be clear.
