New Units:
Bases: 34 HP/19 str/25 skl/24 spd/10 lck/15 def/11 res/8 con Swd A
Growths: 60 HP/15 str/40 skl/35 spd/20 lck/30 def/30 res
Supports: Nino, Legault, Matthew
Summary: Jaffar is basically Karel if he joined with higher base stats and traded a +15 critical hit bonus for Lethality. He's actually a fairly good unit in a vacuum, but he has basically no utility value outside of the ability to OHKO things. And Lethality's proc rate isn't the greatest in the world even with +30 crit from his killing edge.
Chapter Summary:
The layout of this map is composed of a large lake with several small islands scattered about the map. Every five turns, bridges connecting the islands will rise from or sink into the water, which will allow grounded units to progress through the map, but can also impede them, as only flying units and pirates can traverse watery terrain and the bridges connecting the northern islands to the one where Sonia is on don't rise until turn 10.
The optimal strategy would be to use flying units to ferry Hector across the lake to the throne. But there are a few impediments that complicate such a strategy. First off, this is the first map in a long while that features status staves; in particular, the sorcerer to the southeast and one of the bishops on the island just northwest of Sonia have sleep staves, while the other bishop carries a berserk staff. Furthermore, the sage on the island between the west ballista island and the speedwing island has a silence staff. While pegasus knights can typically get status staff hit rates below 20 with a pure water/barrier boost, Heath can face upwards of 40-50 hit from them even with pure water/barrier. Also, there is a group of wyvern riders near the dark mage group to the southeast that are fairly threatening to the player's pegasus riders.
Sonia herself is somewhat threatening, packing a 34 attack Bolting, and having 47 HP/22 def/30 res (after throne bonuses) close up. However, she is weighed down significantly by her tomes, making her attack speed fairly low (12 AS with Fimbulvetr) and easy to double as a consequence. She is also carrying a droppable fell contract, which can promote thieves into assassins. Funny how the player obtains one in the same map he gets a Lv13 assassin with bases that make both Matthew and Legault look weak.
The swag here is somewhat high end. A speedwing can be obtained from the chest on the island with three generals, and is fairly trivial to obtain despite the generals having up to 43 HP and 20 def bulk. There is also a blue gem and a seraph robe that can be stolen from a hero and bishop, respectively. Last, there is a recover staff, a Fenrir book, and a Thor's Ire to be obtained from the chests in the northeast corner of the map. However, these chests are quite hard to get to in efficient play, as a player would have to send a flying unit to those chests that could otherwise be used to escort Hector to the gate.
Lastly, the player cannot bring the convoy to this map, meaning that player units that pick up items will need to either have an empty slot in their inventory or discard one of their items.

EP: Florina gets hit by Sonia's bolting. Raven and Lucius kill wyvern reinforcements (one of them attacks Leggy). Canas kills the devil axe pirate and the second wyvern rider near Sonia.
Turn 8: Canas kills Sonia. Heath takes Flo's delphi shield, gets danced by Ninian, and heads north to kill the silver bow sniper. Eli uses his heaven seal.
EP: Heath kills two wyvern riders, while the third one and the wyvern lord attack Ninian. Two of the archers mount ballistae and attack Bartre. The other two attack Heath, but miss.
Turn 9: Heath opens the Thor's Ire chest, gets danced (Bartre and Eli rescued him into Ninian's range) and opens the Fenrir chest. Legault kills the wyvern lord after Raven chips it. Hector seizes.
Turns Taken: 9/191
Ending Thoughts:
I gotta say that Eli really has come a long way. By that, I mean he went from being really underleveled in Chapter 20 and managed to overcome a large level deficit to become something that's actually decent.
Weird shit: Canas, a magic user, has about 15 more HP and 6 more defense than Florina, a pegasus rider. And here I thought that magic users were frail. Granted, I compared him to a unit that was going to be frail on average anyway, but still.
Remember when I said that I would commission a pic of Hector and Lyn having anal once they reached their A support? Well, let's just say I contacted Sketch Lanza on Monday, and sent him a commission with those details.
