Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon reaching Chapter 4, you'll gain access to the Base Camp and the War Map.
  2. 2
    The War Map displays highlighted regions, each containing either a Side Quest (silver icon) or a Main Quest (golden icon).
  3. 3
    You can only engage with quests in regions adjacent to your Base Camp or a captured region.
  4. 4
    The primary goal of each Chapter is to capture regions, starting from your Base Camp, to reach the Main Quest region.
  5. 5
    Before clearing the Main Quest, complete as many Side Quests, capture regions, and explore Surveying Spots as possible.
  6. 6
    Side Quests are smaller-scale engagements compared to Main Quests.
  7. 7
    Side Quests typically have a 5:00 - 7:00 time limit.
  8. 8
    To earn an S-Rank on a Side Quest, you need 500+ KOs.
  9. 9
    Main Quests generally have a 15:00 - 20:00 time limit and require 1200 - 1800 KOs for S-Rank.
  10. 10
    Both Side Quests and Main Quests typically allow you to deploy four primary characters.
  11. 11
    Main Quests additionally allow you to field four secondary characters who can only be issued commands via the Battle Map, otherwise being relegated to AI control.

    Side Quests generally have fewer enemies and less complex objectives.
  13. 13
    Strategies do not apply to Side Quests.
  14. 14

  15. 15
    Unique, named generals in Side Quests will often retreat instead of being killed.
  16. 16
    Capturing regions provides rewards beyond progressing towards the Main Quest.
  • Clearing a Side Quest earns a First Clear Bonus and potentially an S-Rank reward.
  • Rewards can include gold, replenished Activity Points, Training Points, weapons, and permanent stat-boosting items.
  • Each captured region yields around ten Strategy Points, required to activate Strategies before Main Quest battles.
  • Strategies can include attempts to persuade enemy generals to defect.
  • Surveying Spots within captured regions can be explored for various rewards.
  • Surveying Spot rewards can include Facility upgrade materials, ores, weaponry, gold, Battalions, accessories, permanent stat or skill upgrades, morale boosts, Seals, or extra Training Points and Activity Points.
  • Capturing regions is often necessary to progress through the War Map anyway.
  • The fewer regions you capture, the more Renown you gain at the end of a Chapter, though this is often outweighed by the rewards from Side Quests.
  • Activity Points gained from capturing regions can be spent Volunteering, which can yield Renown.
Tips
  • Focus on completing Side Quests as they are a primary source of rewards and essential for progression.
  • Explore Surveying Spots within captured regions for valuable items and upgrades.
  • While Renown is gained by capturing fewer regions, the rewards from Side Quests and the points gained from Volunteering often make capturing regions more beneficial.
