Besieged In The Chapel Ruins Strategy Guide
Enemy Reinforcements From Top Right & Left
Enemy reinforcements will routinely arrive until the top-left Thief Leader (One on the healing tile) is dealt with. Compared with the relative concentration of enemies on all fronts, the logical course of action is to go west before south.
Battle Flowchart
| Steps | Actions |
|---|---|
| 1. | Hold the starting location |
| 2. | Bait Enemy Heavy Armors with Edelgard. Clear them with Reason attacks |
| 3. | Thin out enemies around you, then send Balthus up north to take out the Ballista |
| 4. | Push to the top-left to eliminate the Thief Leader. Hapi will then call in 2 neutral Giant Wolves and 1 Giant Bird. |
| 5. | Let the Giant Animals fight the southern enemy units while you regroup |
| 6. | Push south, mopping up all enemy units |
Destroy Or Capture Ballista
The Ballista located to the left has long range and is deadly against flying units. Take it out with Balthus, cavalry or send your own archer to capture it.
Use The Giant Animals As Distraction
Before pushing south, dispatch the Thief Leader to prevent reinforcements, and to have Hapi call in 2 neutral Giant Wolves and 1 Giant Bird. These animals will engage targets closest to them, right in the enemy's territory.
Watch Out For Magic Users
When pushing south, bring Yuri or Alfric out front, as there will be some magic users there that could be dangerous to your low-RES units.
