Your Fire Emblem Heroes walkthrough for Chapter Ten: The Distant Plains. Learn enemy positions, reinforcements, boss stats, and the best strategy to seize the gate and get an S rank.
Alright, we're diving into Chapter Ten: The Distant Plains! The main goal here is to Seize the gate. You'll be facing a mix of archers, brigands, knights, mages, mercenaries, and a shaman, with reinforcements showing up later. The boss is Lundgren, a General with a Silver Lance and Javelin. You can snag an Energy Ring from the village to the south, so keep an eye out for that!
Recommended Units: For this chapter, you'll want to bring Matthew, Dorcas, Sain, Wallace, Florina, Lyn, Serra, and Nils. The others aren't as crucial, so focus on these.
- 1Start by having Florina rescue Wallace and move south as much as possible. The goal is to get Wallace to assault the base head-on. Move everyone else forward. If Sain and Matthew are up front, they can handle the initial enemies.
- 2The mage will likely target Matthew, while other enemies advance. Send Florina to drop Wallace near the fortress, staying in the mountains to survive. Pick off the mage, ideally with Sain. Keep Matthew moving forward; the soldier and archer aren't major threats. Use Nils to your advantage!
- 3A mercenary will attack Florina, but she should survive. The rain starts here. Use Wallace to take down approaching enemies. Keep Florina moving towards Serra, away from danger. Matthew might get injured by a double assault; use Serra and Nils to heal him. Kill off the soldier. Everyone else, including Lyn and Sain, should push forward.
- 4Wallace will be a powerhouse, so let him clear the path. Conserve his axe for later. Keep an eye on the reinforcements, like the cavaliers. Florina should continue towards Serra. The archer near Matthew will approach; have Matthew take him out, using Nils if needed. Sain, Lyn, and the others should head towards the bridge.
- 5The rain stops. Wallace can move more freely now; keep him advancing and taking out enemies, aiming for Lundgren. Florina should reach Serra. Heal her, then have her take Lyn and move back towards the mountains for safety, so Lyn can approach Lundgren's castle. Sain should handle the two units near the bridge, and Dorcas can assist. Use Nils as needed.
- 6Wallace should be nearing the knight by Lundgren. Florina should move out of enemy range but closer to the castle. Sain needs to equip a sword to deal with the incoming brigand. More reinforcements will appear, so Serra and Nils should be ready to heal Wallace. The shaman will likely target Matthew; have Dorcas and Matthew team up to take him out.
- 7Wallace can defeat the knight and any other units with his axe. Florina should move closer to the castle, ensuring she's not in range of the cavaliers. Sain can take out the next cavalier, and use Nils to help attack the following unit. Move Matthew towards the village to grab the Energy Ring. Dorcas has done his part for now.
- 8The rain starts again. Move Wallace towards Lundgren. Florina should get even closer to the castle. Sain, with Nils's help, can finish off the remaining enemies. Serra can stay behind Nils. Send Matthew to the village for that Energy Ring – his job is done for this chapter.
- 9Lundgren will attack Wallace, but it won't do much damage. Position Wallace right next to Lundgren and attack. Lundgren will take more damage than Wallace. Florina should be close enough to drop Lyn. Move Sain to eliminate any last enemies. Nils and Serra should be moving towards the castle.
- 10The fight with Lundgren continues. Wallace is dealing good damage, while taking less. Lundgren is on the throne, so he's almost defeated. Attack him again. The other units can hold their positions, but Nils and Serra should keep advancing towards the castle.
- 11Once Wallace lands the final blow, Lundgren will be defeated. Move Lyn to the castle and seize it to win the chapter!
A Note on Gaiden Chapters and Ranks: If you're aiming for a gaiden chapter in Hector Mode that requires Nils to be level 7, it'll take a while and might affect your S rank. For your first playthrough, especially if you're progressing to Eliwood Mode, don't worry too much about it. If you've followed this guide, you've earned your first S rank! You'll be able to view your Tactician Rank in the Battle History section of Extras later on. Onwards to Eliwood Mode!
