Master Skirmish 9: East Bank of Vasel in Valkyria Chronicles. Learn deployment, strategies, and unit orders to capture the final base within 3 phases and achieve an A rank.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Phase 1: Deploy your sniper in the east slot of the 2-person area and Alicia next to them with your most powerful scout weapon (e.g., 20R). Place Rosie near Welkin, an engineer behind her, Largo behind the Shamrock for CP, and a shocktrooper in the bottom right slot of the lowest starting area for defense. Start with your sniper, move up the ladder, and eliminate the scout leader in the southern base. Then, target the lancer on the northern base's roof. Hide behind a wall.
  2. 2
    Phase 2: Use a Damage order on Rosie and charge her toward the northern base, bypassing the crouching enemy. Move past the heavy tank and destroy it from behind. Enter the base and eliminate the shocktrooper leader and the final shocktrooper. Do not occupy the base; end your turn next to the ladder.
  3. 3
    Phase 3: Save your game. Start with Rosie, occupy the base, and head up the ladder. Position yourself to shoot the cannon and the sniper (aim for the head for both). Move to the back of the building, down the ladder, turn west, and finish in the alley. Give Alicia a Damage order and have her move southwest to the southern-most path leading west. Duck into a side-alley to avoid tank fire, go through it, and get behind the heavy tank to destroy it. If Alicia cannot destroy it in one turn, consider leveling up (around level 18) and equipping the best weapon (e.g., 20R). Retreat down the alley, return to the hidden shocktrooper facing north, and shoot him in the back. Return to the side-alley and crouch near the sandbag for defense. Select Welkin, move him forward, and target the heavy cannon in the middle base. If Welkin is damaged, use your engineer to repair him. If he is at full health, save the CP for the last phase. Save the game and end your turn.
  4. 4
    Enemy Phase: Expect heavy fire, primarily on Welkin, with potential harassment from other units. Ensure no leaders are lost; reload if necessary.
  5. 5
    Phase 4 (Final Phase): Move Welkin forward and use a mortar round on the enemy's middle base, targeting the crouching scout leader. Give Rosie another Damage order. Move her due west, hugging the right wall, ignoring damage. When she can't move further, end her turn and reselect her. Continue west past the heavy tank, turn around, and destroy it. Move toward the final tank, come up behind it, and destroy it. Move toward the final base. Flame the remaining enemy to death and occupy the base.
Tips
  • This map is unlocked after completing the game and is a replacement for Episode 17's boss fight.
  • The objective is to capture the westernmost (fifth) base within 3 phases.
  • Achieving an A Rank requires 3 CP, 4 Leaders, and 4 Tanks.
  • The map features a heavy tank, shocktrooper leader, and a fifth base, but no ace or black elite units.
  • Consider leveling up units (around level 18) and equipping the best available weapons (e.g., 20R) for optimal performance, especially for Alicia's heavy tank destruction.
  • Conserve CP when possible, especially if Welkin is at full health at the end of Phase 3.
  • The sniper shot on the roof in Phase 3 can be tricky; aim for the head to hit both the sniper and the cannon.
  • A Rank: 3 CP, 4 Leaders, 4 Tanks
