Guide to Chapter Twenty Eight: Battle Before Dawn in Fire Emblem Heroes. Learn how to protect Zephiel, recruit Nino, and defeat Ursula and Maxime.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Split your party: send your stronger thief and main healer to the west. Send your stronger flier (to magic) and main melee units to the east.
  2. 2
    On the west side, use your flier to rescue Jaffar and bring him east. Your thief should collect items from the two chests in the western room.
  3. 3
    On the east side, use Oswin and your flier to quickly defeat Ursula.
  4. 4
    Lyn or Hector should talk to Nino to recruit her and try to send her to the left side of the map.
  5. 5
    Ensure Jaffar stays clear of Ursula and moves left to allow Nino to talk to him. Rescue Jaffar to prevent him from engaging Ursula.
  6. 6
    Move your eastern units south, using Oswin and the flier to eliminate Ursula.
  7. 7
    Reinforce Zephiel as needed, especially if your fliers are not occupied.
  8. 8
    Clear remaining enemies on both sides and ensure Zephiel remains safe.

  • Beware of reaver weapons that reverse the weapon triangle.
  • Fliers can be used to trap and eliminate interfering thieves.
  • Ensure your thief collects items from chests before enemies do.
  • Defeating Ursula early significantly reduces the danger on the map.
