Conquer Hot-Spring Scramble in Fire Emblem: Awakening

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you've stumbled upon the Hot-Spring Scramble DLC mission in Fire Emblem: Awakening. The main draw here, just like the Summer Scramble before it, is to unlock some cute 'yukata' art for four of your characters. This time around, it's the offspring characters getting the spa treatment. Be warned though, this map is a bit trickier than Summer Scramble!

Walkthrough

1
The biggest threat on this map are the Risen that can move freely across the water, especially the Tricksters and swordsmen. Luckily, the swordsmen start off incapacitated, which gives you a small window.
2
Enemies will start spawning from both the top and bottom of the map pretty quickly, so you won't have much time to set up.
3
Your best bet is to send one or two characters to the left side to create a bottleneck. Keep the rest of your forces back for a few turns. You want to wait until the initial wave of reinforcements dies down.
4
Always keep your characters away from the water's edge unless you're absolutely sure it's safe. Remember to factor in those water-moving enemies when you're deciding on your positioning.
5
Once you've dealt with the initial reinforcements and the swordsmen start to move, you can play the rest of the map more carefully. Just take your time and you should be able to clear it without too much trouble.

Tips

Focus on controlling the water movement of the Risen. They can be a real pain if you let them get behind your lines.
Don't rush in! Waiting for reinforcements to exhaust themselves is a solid strategy.
Enjoy the yukata art you unlock – that's the real reward here!
