Chapter 12 is cleared in 5 turns (95 total).

With an extended party with Lalum, Echidna and Tate, the female only party is back to continue the assault and low-turn domination of Sword of Seals...! or something like that.

This map is tough, mainly from the perspective of low-turning. The infrastructure is very difficult to manage as I just don't have enough mounted units, and the ones I do have are often very bad at dodging archer attacks that OHKO them - mainly referring to Clarine and Tate. Tate is especially a headache because I'm supposed to raise her so that she can actually withstand round of combats and kill things when she promotes, which is hardly possible with her base stats and the low-turn restrictions of this run. Due to the need to carry people around, she doesn't even have any time to kill some enemies to gain some much needed experience. Hopefully this can occur in the next chapters.

All of my units are sent to the left side of the map because that's where we'll be moving towards the boss, with mounts and Lalum. Fir and some scrubs do their best (spoilers - it's not good enough!) to not die to the enemies on the right hand side, while Astohl opens the crucial chests with the Brave Bow and an Elysian Whip.

Basically, I promote Sue ASAP, and have Lalum dance Thany and her first and foremost, as the party's only 8 move units thus far (Cecilia and promoted Tate should follow soon enough though). Echidna is very important here too, as she'll have to kill the boss, with just enough strength to 2HKO with Wyrmslayer's effective damage (doubling isn't a problem since the boss is a Manakete). Echidna doesn't do a whole lot of fighting on the way, which is ideal considering the boss has a very accurate and powerful hit.

On turn 4, many things need to happen: Lalum must be dropped in range to dance Roy to be dropped in seize range (4 squares away), Echidna must be dropped 6 squares away from the boss to engage him in combat at 1-range, and somebody also has to open the door.

Warrior and his Fighters like to clog up the road, so I bait a Fighter and a Warrior with Lilina, though a bit late. However, Lilina is less durable than Thany and Thany dodges the Steel Bow archers pretty easily, so the Hand Axe dudes will leave Thany alone and go for Lilina instead, hoping to KO her. Thany's hit against the axe guys isn't that bad with a Javelin - that's the big thing about growing so much skl and lck.

Having to carry all of Lalum, Echidna and Roy forward is complicated, and Lalum even has to spend one turn carried by Sue (iirc) so that's one turn she doesn't dance or eat a stat booster.

And of course who doesn't appreciate Wendy eating the sleep staff and Dorothy tanking multiple enemies with her face!
