Defeat all enemies in Fire Emblem Heroes Chapter Eight: Vortex of Strategy. Includes enemy list, reinforcements, boss data, and strategy.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Position Florina at the front. Send Lucius east towards Nils's range, then move him towards the two magic units near the village. Send Florina towards the ballista. Have everyone else move up, with Sain and Kent leading the attack past the cliff towards the main enemy path.
  2. 2
    The ballista will target Nils. The mage may target Florina. Use Lucius to defeat the mage. Use Nils to defeat the shaman. Send Florina to attack the ballista with an Iron Lance; she will destroy it in 2 turns. If Nils is hit, have Serra heal him or keep Serra behind. Have Sain attack the mercenary and Kent blockade enemies attacking Wil or Lyn. Keep others behind the main group.
  3. 3
    The ballista targets Nils again. Heal with Serra as needed. Move Nils towards the village to collect the Lancereaver with Lucius. An archer will advance towards Lucius around the mountains. Enemies will attack Sain and Kent. Sain should defeat the mercenary. With Sain, Kent, Dorcas, and Erk, defeat the two cavaliers. Lyn or Wil can defeat the soldier. Move the main group past the ballista. Florina will defeat a soldier attacking her and then move towards Serra for healing.
  4. 4
    An archer and a brigand are advancing towards Lucius. Send Lucius south and use Nils. Have Lucius attack the archer at close range. Keep Dorcas at the front to gain experience, feeding him soldiers until he reaches level 5. Keep Lyn and Wil near Dorcas, out of soldier range. Florina and Serra can move closer, while Sain and Kent advance past Dorcas but out of soldier range.
  5. 5
    Finish the remaining soldiers with Dorcas and others. Keep units out of the range of the three units with reaver weapons, except for Sain, who should equip a sword but stay out of the brigand's range. Once Dorcas reaches level 5, he will be used less. Keep Lyn near Sain but out of the reaver units' range. Lucius, Nils, Florina, and Serra should move towards the main party. Send Wil near the ballista.
  6. 6
    Sain will defeat or weaken the first two attacking units. Use other units needing experience to finish them. Send Wil to the ballista and start sniping the brigand for experience, as Wil should be near level 5. Sain should move to kill the brigand with a LANCE. Move Lyn near the boss. If Erk is not level 5, send him near Lyn.
  7. 7
    Defeat the boss, Yogi, with Lyn or any unit not yet level 5. Snipe with Wil for experience.
