We got a new lord which means its time to do an indoor castle map! If you were paying attention in the last map you might have noticed a Hector lord siting in a cell all map doing nothing, and this map we get to use him. I usually put unit "reviews" at the end of the description but Arcus is pretty important for the context of this clear and future ones to come so I want to make sure viewers understand what he does.
Arcus: He is our lord for the route split, meaning either him, Rena, or both, will be force deployed for the remainder of Musain. He is a 5 move axe infantry with stats on par to Driscoll, making him very unremarkable. What makes him special is his prf, a 1-2 range Mage effective axe, with a whopping 8 might, 110 hit, and +5 bonus to res on top. He will be very important for the Musain arc and then proceed to fall off the face of the earth. You'll see him 1 other time after chapter 14 but I wouldn't count on any more.
This map is kill boss, importantly a Sage boss. This means that our best way to approach the map is ferry Arcus + 1 other unit to kill the boss. It has to be on player phase however, as the boss has a sleep staff which makes enemy phasing him problematic. There are also 2 chests in the top right that we want to grab. The skill stat booster we get is whatever but we absolutely want the master seal, meaning we need to drag multiple units up top to extract the loot. Our last objective is staff grinding, and we have a new guy in the game. Gabe hogs our one and only master seal that Marie joined with, and promotes. Gabe is a very underwhelming offensive unit at this point but 16 magic is supreme. There is only one other unit on this route who can match that on 0%, and he is less ideal to raise because he somehow manages to be an even bigger loser than Gabe. Gabe needs to reach S rank staves by chapter 22, meaning we have a long time to train him. Despite this, Gabe will still need to be heavily prioritized for staff exp so that will be most of what he does this play through.
6 Turns
Rules for the run:
I will be going the Musain route at the route split
Full Recruitment Deathless
0% Growths obviously
Minimum Rigging. I will occasionally rig crits on turn 1 via killer weapons but the plan is to not have to rig at all after turn 1. However, an exception will probably be made for the final boss.
Enemy stat variation is a huge problem in this game however, so just know that it will be a factor in most of my clears. I'll try to point out every instance of this that I catch.
