*Sigh* Again we have "ANOTHER" chapter with "BALISTAS" (He really likes ballistas).

This is another map with ballistas, but another type of ballistas is introduced, Venin Ballistas, although it is not as dangerous as Iron Ballistas, but if it hits, the target will be poisoned.

The houses don't offer much, just Holy Water and Silver Sword.

There is a special event for Linoan if he visits the church, if he visits it he will start the Auto-Promotion sequence. As you know this unit cannot be promoted by using Master Seals, and the only way is to visit the church in this chapter. I recommend you to bring Linoan in this chapter and visit it, whatever level it is, visit it.

The chapter can be difficult, but if you go with patience it is no problem at all.

STRATEGY:

There is only one strategy for this chapter. I've tried other strategies, and they don't really work....... The main problem is not the ballistas, it's the Dracoknights but we have to add 2 additional problems, they have the Miracle skill which can be around 30% of evading fatal attacks, (The boss is around 40%), which if you are unlucky, can be quite fatal, but adding that they have Horseslayer, effective against cavalry.
The strategy of going all to one side doesn't work. If you are unlucky enough to have several DracoKnight survive thanks to the Miracle effect, the enemy turn can either kill the cavalry or concentrate on going to more vulnerable targets that are easier to hit or even capture units like Cleric/Priest, so this strategy is not very effective.

First things first, silence or sleep the Priest carrying the Sleep Staff. Try to use Sleep Staff if you decide to capture it later, if you silence it, you will force the unit to escape.

The best strategy for this chapter is to use 1 or several units (as you see fit) and use it as a decoy and send it south, the idea is to capture the DracoKnight and not let the other group attack. If possible, bring ranged weapons if you want to fight the DracoKnight as long as you don't sacrifice AVOID and ALWAYS be in forest terrain effect. Another good way to nullify Miracle is to use a unit with Nihil, so you can slowly kill the DracoKnights without being unlucky enough to evade the fatal attacks.
I used Finn in this case, even when facing the DracoKnights with Horseslayer, it becomes very risky. But if you have a good AVOID it won't be a problem, because all the attacks had 1% HIT. Remember that if you don't carry a ranged weapon the Dracoknights will take priority to attack without being countered in this case they will use javelins.

For the rest of the party send them north, passing the church and then going south.
The first few turns here is important, try to get the units that have a good AVOID to advance as far as possible. Concentrate on killing the 2 ballistas you have in sight as quickly as possible, by killing these 2 ballistas you can move your other units that are more vulnerable, but pay attention to the range of the 2 ballistas in the centre. If, by any chance you are under a lot of pressure and want to quickly get rid of the danger of the ballistas, you can use 3-10 range magic to dispatch some ballistas quickly (after that change their tome, as it will reduce their AVOID a lot, keep that in mind) or you can always use Sleep.

Once you are in the church part, be very careful in this part and try to form a barrier (good HP and DEF, if possible not cavalry type) if the reinforcements from the right side of the map haven't appeared yet, whether they do or not, it's better to do so to be prepared when they come and prevent them from killing you.
Just wait for all the enemy reinforcements on the right side of the map to disappear, as soon as you see no more. Resume your march, heading south.

Here you have to be quite patient, not only because there are a lot of ballistas of different types but also because the boss has Blizzard, if the target is hit by this tome, the unit will fall asleep and its stats will be greatly affected and that can lead to losing the unit. So try to deplete the ammo of the ballistas first, when all the ballistas have depleted their ammo, next is to deplete Blizzard's charges, once done, the chapter is easy, you can steal his Tornado and Fortify if you have good Speed and CON, if you steal the Tornado tome, the boss will be undefended and you can capture or kill him. There is no point in capturing him here, if you stole everything, so kill him to get a good amount of experience.
