Master the Rogues and Redeemers 2 DLC map in Fire Emblem: Awakening! Learn strategies for deploying your 10 units, baiting enemies, and defeating Katarina and Celica.
Alright, let's dive into the Rogues and Redeemers 2 DLC for Fire Emblem: Awakening. This one's a bit different – you're the bad guys this time, storming a castle with 10 villainous personalities against 30 heroes. Don't let the numbers scare you; it's actually less stressful than the previous map since you're on the offensive. The main challenge? You've only got 10 units to deploy, and they're split into three groups, meaning you'll have a couple of loners who should really only be used to finish off weakened enemies if the coast is clear.
- 1First Turn: You've got three groups of units. Your north-eastern group should move west, using that choke point to your advantage. Alternatively, you can let Raydrik take the lead and hope he softens up Ephraim. Your western group should head north into the woods – the increased evasion will be super helpful. Remember, keep those unpaired units out of direct combat unless they're cleaning up a weakened foe. Your south-eastern group has a couple of options: move west towards the southern entrance, or split up, with one pair going west and the other north to help divert enemy attention.
- 2Turn 2: Keep advancing slowly. The key here is to carefully bait enemies towards your positions. Don't be afraid to pull back if you feel like you're getting surrounded; it's way better than being overwhelmed by a bunch of Fire Emblem heroes.
- 3Turn 3: By now, you should be finishing off any nearby enemies. Start setting up to surround and bait the central group of enemies.
- 4Turn 4: You have two main options here. You can continue baiting the center enemies, or if your units are feeling strong, go ahead and swoop in to crush them. Keep a close eye on Jaffar, though. His Lethality skill can one-shot your units, so stay out of his range and let him come to you.
- 5Turn 5 onwards: You should be in a prime position to wrap up the mission very soon.
- Take things slowly and let the green units advance ahead of you to draw enemy fire.
- Use the terrain to your advantage; the woods offer increased evasion for your western group.
- Don't hesitate to pull back if you're outnumbered or in a bad spot. It's better to regroup than to lose a valuable unit.
- Keep your unpaired units safe – they're best used for finishing blows rather than engaging in full combat.
- Be wary of Jaffar's Lethality skill. Keep him at a distance and let him approach you.
- Show no mercy to the Fire Emblem heroes; they certainly won't show any to you!
Upon completing this mission, you'll recruit Celica as a Sage at Level 20.
