Walkthrough for Tactics Ogre: Reborn Battle 30 - Vahanna. Learn strategies to save Harborym, defeat enemies, and choose character class progressions.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Objective: Save Harborym and defeat all enemies in the Vahanna battle.
  2. 2
    Pre-Mission Advice: Consider equipping the Fafniel Sword to Forcas. The primary goal is to save Harborym, with several methods available.
  3. 3
    Choice #1 (Easy): Have Sara (Archer) nearly kill the enemy Leader, and Forcas finish him off with his Crossbow. This quickly ends the mission and saves Harborym. Recommended if your party is around level 19.
  4. 4
    Choice #2 (Level 20+): If party members are level 20, the enemy Ninja has a Weight of 424. Characters need to be faster by removing armor/weapons, equipping a Short Bow and Orbs. This allows for defeating all opponents but may not be necessary.
  5. 5
    Choice #3 (Recommended Strategy): A combination of the above, allowing Harborym to be saved and all enemies defeated.
  6. 6
    Choice #4 (Indifferent): If Harborym's stats are not superior to Voltel's, you can let him die and proceed with the battle using height advantages.
  7. 7
    Note for Choice #3: Equip a Wind or Fire Orb on your Lich/Byan (and optionally Denim). Purchase five Balder Bows for Denim, Canopus, Aloser, Voltel, and Forcas, creating six strong bow-wielders with Sara. Ensure your Ghost has FireBurn and the lowest Weight in the party.
  8. 8
    Lineup: Back Row (P=Presance, B=Byan, D=Denim, G=Ghost), Front Row (S=Sisteena, V=Voltel, F=Forcas, A=Aloser, C=Canopus).
  9. 9
    Strategy (Choice #3):
    • The enemy acts first; your Ghost should melt snow in allies' paths.
  10. 10
    Move Lich Byan in front of Forcas and use an Orb (save/reload if it doesn't hit the leader and at least three Ninjas).
  11. 11
    Use your other eight characters to attack. Canopus can injure a Ninja, Sisteena can use WindRing to damage a Ninja near Harborym, allowing a Sword Master to finish them off. Sara can target a Ninja for a kill (leveling to 20). Forcas can injure another Ninja.
  12. 12
    Denim can use VanCharm or a second Orb (save first, ensure Orb hits leader and henchmen, and Denim isn't on snow).
  13. 13
    Voltel may need to move closer to engage. Presance can heal Harborym.
  14. 14
    Repeat melting snow with Ghost, Lich Byan can cast Heal Rain on Harborym.
  15. 15
    Canopus injures another Ninja, Sisteena heals Harborym. Ninja magic is weak.
  16. 16
    Harborym defeats a Ninja, Sara injures the last high-HP Ninja. Aloser can use magic on the leader (Sorcerer Mordiart) without killing him yet.
  17. 17
    Forcas gets a kill (level 20). A Sword Master finishes the last Ninja. Presance can kill the leader to reach level 20 (use Quick if needed).

Afterward:

  • Re-equip characters. Give the Fafniel Sword to Denim (it's a strong hybrid weapon with 'Dragon Slayer' bonus). Swap his FolCharm for an Orb to lower Weight.
  • Consider making Voltel a Sword Master. Compare Voltel and Harborym's stats (HP, MP, ATK, M-ATK, DEF, MDEF, Weight, Dexterity).
  • The choice often comes down to defense vs. lower weight. Harborym's higher Dexterity may make him more evasive.
