Unlock Valkyria Chronicles Hard Skirmishes after beating the game. Learn strategies for these challenging maps and how to farm XP and gold.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Unlock Hard Skirmishes by beating the main game.
  2. 2
    Understand that Hard Skirmishes feature completely different map layouts and stronger enemies compared to the main game.
  3. 3
    Focus on achieving an A rank rather than prioritizing bonus kills of leaders and tanks, as these offer no significant benefit in Hard Mode.
  4. 4
    Execute every move with extreme precision; save your game after each individual move and reload if the outcome is not as intended. This is a blanket strategy for all Hard Skirmish maps.
  5. 5
    It is recommended to attempt Hard Skirmishes when your troops are around level 19 and you have purchased all available equipment.
  6. 6
    The first skirmish can be repeated for approximately 75,000 XP and 150,000 gold per playthrough, allowing you to quickly max out troop levels and accumulate necessary funds.
  7. 7
    Bonus kill counts for leaders and tanks are provided for reference, but are not essential for success.
Tips
  • Save frequently after every single move to mitigate failure.
  • Prioritize achieving an A rank over collecting bonus kills, as bonus kills offer no advantage in Hard Mode.
  • Consider attempting Hard Skirmishes with level 19 troops and all equipment purchased.
  • Utilize the first skirmish for efficient XP and gold farming.
