Chapter 7: Out of the Pan

Objective: Protect the Aqueducts

The Aqueducts have 100 hp and at the start of the turn each surviving hammer wielding enemy will reduce that by 1. To swiftly stem the bleeding, you’ll want to split up your forces at least a bit in this race against time. Benji joins in the center, so I’d recommend putting some forces there to bolster him. The center and left have mixed magic and physical enemies, so you’ll want balanced forces; however, you can toss a high defense unit onto the right side to exploit the fact that those enemies are all physical.

Once you clear out the initial foes, it’s time to enter the center region where movement is about halved. Given that & the stronger mage at the center entrance I usually move the center group over to join the right group and enter there, to take out both set of three hammer guys as fast as possible. Once that’s accomplished the death timer only ticks by 2 each turn, so you can take your time finishing the level.

Speaking of the hammer guys, they have high fortitude, lower defense and fairly high attack but won’t move from their location. Thus archers are really handy at taking them out & melee units with high defense may be able to stand up to them for a few hits as well.

There are also two tier one tokens on enemies south of the aqueduct if you are ahead of schedule & want to lure them up.
