Here’s what you need to know to beat the game.
Act 2
The Great Strategy Guide (Act 2)
Act 2 Overview
In Act 2 we want to capture four enemy generals.
Certain hidden routes and bases will appear after specific actions like capturing certain generals or seizing specific points. These routes are key to clearing the Act.
➤Step 1: Capture Blaubeere while avoiding the Great Wall’s cannons
➤Step 2: Aftercapturing Blaubeere, enemy general Rebecca will appear.
After capturing Rebecca, take the gunner base at 103 Plateau.
➤Step 3: Use the gunner from 103 Plateau to weaken enemy general Tyler, then capture him.
Capture Ciaran as well.
The Great Strategy Step 1: Capturing Blaubeere
[Basic Strategy]
The three bases on the east side of the Great Wall (Wall Street, Wall Front, and South Midland) will come under bombardment and take heavy damage if you enter them.
Unlock the hidden route and detour via the north side to launch an attack from behind the Great Wall.
・While Uisce defends the base, head toward the destination marked by the arrow (Astrea Base)
・Fully occupy base ① (Big Bridge) and raise it to 3 red stars in preparation for Act 3.
・Place Uisce at base ② (River Gate) to defend the supply line.
・Reaching base ③ (Astrea Base) will trigger an event, and a new route will appear.
From Act 2 onward, you can command up to 5 units (if you captured Geena, Nicol, and Uisce in Act 1), allowing for defensive maneuvers while detouring or attacking multiple bases simultaneously.
In general, try to move “Scarlet and Lily” together, and “Geena and Nicol” together, to raise their trust level. (TIPS: Increasing Trust)
・Break through the hidden route with Scarlet leading the charge.
・Occupy Astrea Base and proceed through the hidden route.
・Aim for base ② (East Glass Gate) from base ① (Lakeside).
・Defend River Gate to prevent the supply line from being cut.
Capturing Astrea Base will reveal a hidden route, but only one unit can enter base ① (Lakeside). (TIPS: Additional Notes on Bases)
Since multiple units can participate in battles (during attack), try attacking with three units (choose three from Scarlet, Lily, Geena, or Nicol)
After defeating the enemy, move only Scarlet forward to occupy base ② (East Glass Gate) to progress smoothly.
In this game, unless there are enemy or neutral bases or enemy contact, you can move up to 3 tiles. (TIPS: Unit Movement)
Once you reach the two-unit base (East Glass Gate), have Lily regroup there.
After regrouping, defeat and occupy the enemy at the 凸-shaped base (Wall North).
While occupying the 凸-shaped base (Wall North), enemies will also attack toward Rivergate,
so move Uisce to ensure the supply line isn’t severed and defend it effectively.
・Once you occupy the 凸-shaped base (Wall North), A.C.E. will begin to move, so have Geena and Nicol regroup there.
Entering “Wall North” will trigger A.C.E. to start moving.
A.C.E. will attack Scarlet’s forces if they are in adjacent bases, so try to stall it.
When you reach the 凸-shaped base (Wall North), A.C.E. will begin moving.
This A.C.E. patrols vertically between base ① (South Farm) and base ② (South Glaston), and will attack any Scarlet units located in adjacent bases.
If A.C.E. moves to an base adjacent to Scarlet’s army, either relocate them to another base or use the Stream Airship to stall A.C.E.
When fighting Blaubeere, stall A.C.E. at base ② (South Glaston), and switch to Capture Stream at a timing that ensures capture on the following turn.
Upon capture, you’ll be able to move into the protruding base (Wall Back) where Blaubeere was, and will no longer need to engage A.C.E.
・Fighting Blaubeere
Blaubeere, who guards the Great Wall, is a powerful unit, but her supply lines are already severed at this stage, so she will not recover.
If you can’t win in a single battle, observe A.C.E.’s movements and engage Blaubeere multiple times to successfully capture her.
Blaubeere is a powerful gunner unit. Her EX Skill “Close-Range gunner” used on Turn 3 deals massive damage to all allies.
The damage increases with her remaining HP, so focus your attacks on her early to reduce her HP as much as possible.
The Great Strategy Step 2 (Capturing Rebecca & Occupying 103 Plateau)
[Basic Strategy]
After the Blaubeere battle, “Rebecca” appears on the map.
Capturing Rebecca is not difficult, but you’ll need to occupy bases afterward with a small number of units, so take advantage of the map’s movement system.
・After the Blaubeere battle, enemy general “Rebecca” appears.
・Split your forces after Blaubeere’s base (Wall Back) into two and advance.
・Use Geena and Nicol to stop the enemy invasion from the west.
・Wipe out enemies in South Midland and occupy it.
・Capture Rebecca.
Geena and Nicol should head toward the 凸-shaped base ① (Wall North), moving up and down to avoid adjacency with A.C.E. as it patrols vertically, and defend accordingly.
Scarlet and Lily should head toward Rebecca, who appears at ② (Greybolt).
On the way, capture South Midland, which had been attacking Uisce all this time, to reestablish your supply lines.
After regrouping with Uisce, advance toward Rebecca and capture her.
・Battle with Rebecca
Rebecca is an gunner unit, making Scarlet (a cavalry unit) advantageous.
She uses skills like “Lay Trap” that allow her to counterattack regardless of attribute, and the EX Skill “Guide to Cute,” which reduces the attacker’s attack power by 80% for one turn,
but you should still be able to capture her without issue.
・After Capturing Rebecca, Aim for the Peninsula’s base (103 Plateau)
Use Rebecca to advance along the peninsula.
After capturing Rebecca, send her westward. (She has the passive skill “Mountain Miss” which speeds up occupation of mountain bases.)
Since all bases except the protruding one (103 Plateau) only allow one unit, Rebecca must proceed alone.
Occupying the 凸-shaped base (103 Plateau)
・Attack 103 Plateau from the base below (Greybolt).
When the bombardment event occurs, try using “Interception Stream”.
The 凸-shaped base (103 Plateau) is generally guarded by two units, making it tough to capture with just one unit.
Use the system where units can move up to 3 tiles between friendly bases without enemy interference. (TIPS: Unit Movement)
➤ Use the Stream Airship’s stalling stream to prevent movement from base ① (103 Plateau).
➤ Deploy Scarlet and Lily to base ② (Greybolt).
➤ Have Rebecca occupy base ③ (Greybolt Pass).
➤ After confirming A.C.E. is at base ④ (Glass Village),
have Scarlet and Lily occupy the 凸-shaped base ① (103 Plateau).
Once this strategy is complete, an event will occur that bombards Tyler and the surrounding bases at Dragon’s Nest Base, dealing massive damage.
If A.C.E. is at Glass Village, it will also take heavy damage, so use the Stream Airship’s “Interception Stream” to prevent it from healing.
In the meantime, concentrate your forces and aim to defeat A.C.E.
・Battling A.C.E
・Defeat A.C.E. before it can recover.
A.C.E., having taken artillery fire, should now be in the red (low HP) and close to defeat.
Even in this state, it remains a formidable enemy, so concentrate your attacks and finish it off.
The Great Strategy Step 3: Tyler & Ciaran
[Basic Strategy]
If the artillery is successful, Tyler will no longer move from his base (Dragon’s Nest Base).
Ciaran also remains stationary, so defeat them one at a time.
・Against Tyler
At the base north of Tyler’s position (West Glasgate), up to 5 units can be stationed.
Since Tyler is a support-type character, he should be easy to capture with a 5-person assault.
Don’t forget to use the Stream Airship’s Capture Stream.
・Against Ciaran
Ciaran is a cavalry unit with extremely high attack power.
He possesses offensive skills like “Dragoon Shot,” which is an all-target attack treated as infantry-type, and “Imperial Assault,” which deals 1.7x damage to a single target and boosts all allied cavalry mobility. Infantry units like Uisce and Nicol have the advantage, so actively use them in the attack force.
If Scarlet keeps getting defeated due to focused attacks and you feel stuck, consider using Delegate Battle to reduce Ciaran’s HP and lower his attack power. (TIPS: About HP)
