Learn how to recruit Ryoma's son, Shiro, in Paralogue 7 of Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. This guide covers Shiro's tricky starting position and the essential Rescue stave strategy.

Alright, let's tackle Paralogue 7, also known as 'Father and Liege'! This one's a bit unique because you're not just fighting for yourself; you're trying to recruit Ryoma's son, Shiro. He's got a bit of a rough start position, and his AI can make things tricky, but don't worry, we'll get him on your side.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Turn 1 - The Rescue: The absolute most crucial part is Shiro's survival on the very first turn. His AI will make him attack the closest enemy, and if he's underleveled, he'll get KO'd instantly. To prevent this, you *must* have a unit with a Rescue staff. A Falcon Knight is ideal since they can fly over the desert terrain. Fly your Falcon Knight as far as you can towards Shiro, making sure he's within Rescue range, and use the stave to bring him to safety.
  2. 2
    Recruiting Shiro: Once Shiro is safe, you need to talk to him. The best unit to do this is his father, Ryoma. Pair Ryoma up with another flying unit so you can quickly get him to Shiro. Have Ryoma initiate the conversation. This will recruit Shiro to your side.
  3. 3
    Securing Shiro: After recruiting Shiro, immediately have him pair up with the Falcon Knight who rescued him. This moves him out of immediate danger and onto a safer unit.
  4. 4
    Dealing with the Map: The map itself has Fighters and Berserkers. They hit hard, but they're also inaccurate, so don't panic if they miss. Keep a healer handy for any hits you do take. The desert terrain really slows you down, but thankfully, there are Dragon Veins scattered around. Activating these will clear the sand, improving your movement. Be aware, though, that this also frees up the enemies, and their danger areas will expand, so time your Dragon Vein activations carefully, especially if you have the danger area display on.
  5. 5
    Boss Fight: The boss, Tarba, can't attack from range. This makes him a prime target for your own ranged units. Take him down to clear the map.
Tips
  • The Rescue stave is non-negotiable for recruiting Shiro without a massive headache. Make sure you have a healer who can use it, and equip it before the map starts.
  • Falcon Knights are your best friends here due to their immunity to desert movement penalties.
  • Keep an eye on the danger area display. When you use Dragon Veins, the enemy danger zones will shift, so be ready to reposition.
  • Fighters and Berserkers are dangerous up close, but their low accuracy can be a lifesaver. Use it to your advantage.
  • Shiro joins your army.
