Learn how to seize the gate in Chapter 11 of Fire Emblem Heroes. Get tips on using Eliwood, Marcus, Lowen, Rebecca, Dorcas, and Bartre to defeat enemies and the boss.
Alright, we're heading into Chapter Eleven, aptly named 'Taking Leave.' This one's pretty straightforward, mostly about moving your units into position and seizing the gate. You'll be automatically joined by Eliwood, Marcus, Lowen, and Rebecca right off the bat. Later, Dorcas and Bartre will join you too, so you've got a solid crew.
Objective: Seize gate
New Characters: Eliwood, Marcus, Lowen, Rebecca (automatic), Dorcas, Bartre (automatic Turn 2 from north east village)
Enemies: You'll face a mix of Archers and Brigands. Specifically, there are 1 Archer (Level 1 with Iron Bow), 1 Archer (Level 2 with Iron Bow), 4 Brigands (Level 1 with Iron Axe), 2 Brigands (Level 2 with Iron Axe), and 1 Brigand (Level 3 with Iron Axe). No reinforcements to worry about here, which is a nice break.
Boss Data: The boss is Groznyi, a Level 5 Brigand with 25 HP. His stats are STR 7, SKL 4, SPD 4, DEF 4, RES 2, and LUC 1. He's not too tough, especially with the units you have.
Items: Don't forget to visit the north east village! It's an easy pickup and will get you a Dragonshield, which is always a great boost.
- 1Advance North and East: The chapter is pretty linear. Start by moving your units up and across the map. The path is quite direct.
- 2Village Visit: Head towards the north east village. It's an easy target and will yield the Dragonshield.
- 3Engage the Enemy: Use Marcus and Lowen to engage the main enemy force. They're strong and can handle the initial wave effectively.
- 4EXP Distribution: As Lowen weakens enemies, let Eliwood and Rebecca get the finishing blows to gain experience. Lowen is great for softening targets without necessarily killing them, leaving EXP opportunities for your newer/lesser-leveled units.
- 5Weapon Usage: Lowen should be using his Iron Lance. Eliwood can use Marcus's Steel Sword, and Marcus can go to town with his Steel Lance. Bartre's Hand Axe is useful for ranged attacks, and you can let Dorcas sit this one out or use him to tank if needed.
- 6Boss Strategy: For Groznyi, use Bartre and Rebecca to chip away at his HP. Once he's weakened, finish him off with Lowen or Marcus.
- 7Seize the Gate: After dealing with the boss and any remaining enemies, have Eliwood seize the gate to complete the chapter. He should be the one to do it ASAP.
- Focus on getting Eliwood and Rebecca some experience by letting them land the final hits on weakened enemies.
- Don't forget the village! The Dragonshield is a valuable item.
- Marcus and Lowen are your heavy hitters early on; use them to control the battlefield.
- Bartre's Hand Axe gives him some much-needed range.
