Summary: Possibly the most overrated unit I've ever seen in my life. While he hits hard with dark magic, he can't reliably double until after promotion. He does get access to things like life leeching and resistance negation, but the tomes that let him do those things are really heavy.
Chapter Summary:
Depending on how one approaches this map, this map can be very easy or very hard. The quickest route to Fargus is through the village square, but this is actually ill advised. The pirates guarding this area are extremely dangerous, being Lv17 and carrying some pretty potent weaponry. They are also accompanied by an archer, a mage, and a dark mage, the latter two of which are particularly dangerous since they hit resistance. One of the pirates and the archer also carry killer weapons, which will kill basically any unit at this point in the game without a doubt if they proc a critical hit. Therefore, it's highly recommended that one use the strategy I use, which is to have Florina fly over the houses and talk to Fargus without getting detected, all while visiting all but one house.
On turn 1 enemy phase, a group of cavalry reinforcements will spawn near the arena. Thankfully, unlike the pirates, their commander, Damian, is a complete joke since he's a complete slug.
There is also an arena on this map, if that's one's cup of tea. Since I am trying to complete the map in as few turns as I can get away with and the arena is quite a bit out of the way, I will not be using the arena this chapter.
Prior to starting the map, I promoted Oswin using the Chapter 17 knight crest. Promotion gives him 41 HP/22 def/14 res bulk, which at this point in the game is tinked by virtually every physical attack, and even most magic users either tink him or do single digit damage (he also OHKOs them thanks to a massive 22 str). Furthermore, his speed increases to a modest 9, which is still not enough to double anything except for slugs like armor knights, but is still enough to prevent him from getting doubled by most enemies for a significant portion of the game.
And one last thing. Do not under any circumstances attack Fargus. One will get a game over if they do.
Turn By Turn Analysis:
Turn 1: Oswin heads W. Raven and Lucius head N. Priscilla visits the house to recruit Canas. Florina picks up Hector and moves NW.
EP: A Lv4 pirate dies on Raven. Two of the Lv17 pirates head towards Oswin's position.
Turn 2: Raven kills another pirate. Canas visits the S house for a devil axe. Oswin and Lucius park themselves near the S chokepoint. Florina visits the short bow house.
EP: The two Lv17 pirates gets chipped by Oswin.
Turn 3: Raven kills the hand axe pirate. Canas and Lucius take out the 2 Lv17 pirates that Oswin chipped. Florina drops Hector down near Fargus. Oswin picks up Lucius.
EP: Raven kills two more pirates. Oswin engages the boss, kills a pirate, and chips a cav, which gets healed by the enemy troubadour.
Turn 4: Canas kills the boss after Oswin chips him a second time. Florina visits the sleep staff house. Hector talks to Fargus.
Turns Taken: 4/65
Ending Thoughts:
Overall, a short and sweet map. Just goes to show how much fliers trivialize this game, much less this map.
Raven is definitely shaping up to be one of my most potent offensive units, but even so, exp is more important for him right now, as he starts at a fairly low base level. I've deduced that I need him promoted by Chapter 20, which means he needs to gain 10 levels in 5 maps. Pretty doable.
Nice to see that Canas gained speed on his first level up. And that's always nice.
