Chapter 24 Tears of a Dragon

The chapter begins with the Hoshidan army navigating tunnels. You'll intentionally hold back some of your army to set the stage for the battle.

You emerge in a wide-open field with many promoted Nohrian enemies, including Berserkers, Sorcerers, Generals, and Heroes, led by Hans (Berserker). Enemies are at higher levels than in previous maps, and everyone starts far apart.

The main environmental hazards are two Fire Orbs north of your starting position and one south.

Your first objective should be to head south and defeat the General and Sorcerer guarding the southern Fire Orb. This will yield a Venge Naginata and 10,000G.

Be aware that units from the east and west will begin to close in. Fliers can operate with impunity as there are no bow-users. Consider falling back south to let aggressive units detach and be defeated individually.

After routing these forces, you will obtain an Arms Scroll and a Wyrmslayer.

Reinforcements will begin to appear: Heroes and Sorcerers on the west and east, respectively, and Wyvern Lords and Malig Knights in the corners.

Activate the four Dragon Veins on the map. These summon storms that significantly slow down fliers, preventing them from reaching the main battle quickly. Keep these active as fliers spawn constantly.

Once fliers are impeded and the units on the east and west are defeated, focus on the Fire Orb Sorcerers to the north.

Lure the Berserkers attending Hans away from him and defeat them individually.

Hans has a small movement range and will not move until attacked. Mass your ranged units outside his reach and rush him to defeat him.

Defeating Hans rewards you with a Chakram.
