This chapter objective is to open the two chests and to rout all the enemies, including the almost unbeatable dragon. Since this is minimum recruitment, I don't have the means to defeat it so I must wait for it to leave after 4 turns, which spawns reinforcements instead.

These reinforcements consist of 25 units separate into 3 different groups. Among them, the most problematic are 3 summoners and 8 shadow mages with 1-3 range weapons, who I am pretty much forced to kill in player phase.

Given that I only have 8 deployed units, it should mean that I need 2 turns to kill every last one of them, however I have some tricks up my sleeve to make it in 1 turn.

First, katri can transform into Neuron, which gives her +1 movement and access to an AoE attack strong enough to kill any enemy. With the way the reinforcements spawn, she can kill at best three shadow mages with it from the south-west. It leaves one shadow mage to kill in this group, which is done by Shigen since he is the only one who can safely reach this place thanks to his Dullahan.

It leaves me with 6 units to kill 3 summoners and 4 shadow mages, however Holmes can't really help since he is busy opening chests and bow locked, preventing him from counter attacking on enemy phase. The trick is to lock the shadow mages I don't kill on player phase in a confined space where they have no choice but to attack and be counter killed.

The main issue of this strategy is in the eastern group, as I only have 2 units to trap one of the shadow mage, and the way the reinforcement spawn works make it that the shadow mage starting position is RNG-reliant, based on where my 2 units were positioned. With my setup, which I believe is the one with the highest chance of success, the shadow mage has 67% chance to be trapped either above or below Maruj.

If you are wondering why I changed the battle animation setting, it's because the Dakruon text is bugged with this patch and can result in a softlock if I trigger Adept with Julia, which is more than likely to happen.
