FE6 Chapter 7 is Hard, These Plays Can Help (Guide)

  • A breakdown of how you can play the first couple turns of FE6 Chapter 7 on Hard Mode to vastly increase the chances of coming out on top. After this chapter the game is much easier so if you can get through here, you're usually fine.
    Notes:
    1) I forgot to mention the wyverns have 2-move AI, meaning they will move if they could reach a player or NPC unit within 2 moves. You can stop the left one from moving by not moving into the chokepoint left of the arena. However this will cause more enemies to flood the right side, so that's why I think choking the place around the grass is a better idea.
    2) In my opinion having a couple of earlygame units die in this map is acceptable if it means getting through with important units alive. So if like Treck or Wade goes down, I wouldn't be too bothered.

    The thing which absolutely helped me most in this chapter is the Roy rescue drop trick to get Zealot on turn 2 that was shown in Dondon's old FE6 LTC

  • @DuelingShade
    @DuelingShade 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

    One thing I found made this map far more consistent in my iron man attempts was Merlinus. Yes, really. Enemies are practically guaranteed to go after Merlinus when he's in range and he's the only unit who returns when killed. I put Merlinus on a forest within range of the wyverns on turn 2 and to buy an extra turn to deal with one of them, or both if he gets the roughly 45 % chance to dodge the first one. He's practically a once per chapter phantom.

    • @Mekkkah
      @Mekkkah  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Yeah Merlinus is great for this kinda stuff! This turn 1 unfortunately requires most of your deployment slots and you wouldn't want to undeploy Chad, but he is pretty good at getting villages too since he can canto. Merlinus works as a phantom basically, but he does have the disadvantage that an enemy that kills him is not going to get countered.

    @swiftsaturn 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +44

    I will say that Marcus having D axes isn't necessarily required for the turn 2 zelot recruit, it does however make the map considerably easier. If for whatever reason your Marcus doesn't have D axes what you can instead do is have marcus chip down the armor knight with the silver lance on turn 1 pp, and drop roy below him with shanna and clarine/sue, with shanna to the left or roy and clarine/sue below him. On enemy phase the armor will go for shanna and the jav soldier will go for roy, ensuring the survival of both. The armor moving to attack shanna will leave space for the merc to attack marcus on ep, which of course puts him in range to be killed on turn 2 player phase. This does leave an extra enemy on the map to kill while also leaving shanna injured so it's of course a worse solution, but if your Marcus doesn't have D axes then it's a good alternative solution.

    One note to add if anyone is looking at the comments, my Marcus was not D in Axes so I gave him the Armorslayer to take down the Armor Knight on the right. If you train Lugh and Deke they can both take care of the Armor Knight on the left without an Armorslayer.

    Hot take, but I really like this map, especially compared to many others from FE6. I like the mix of openness to move and the ability to choke points between the houses and in the passage between the throne and chests, and you can have effectively seven mounted combat units, assuming you bring Marcus, Alen, Lance, and Sue. Sure, the wyverns can be difficult to deal with, but by the time the cavalier reinforcements arrive you’ll usually be far enough north that you can just leave a couple units to deal with them. The only real problem I usually have is the boss, but that’s normal for FE6.

      Merlinus can also be useful for baiting a wyvern if you want to on say turn 3 or 4. He'll have decent avoid on a forest and the damage on an actual combat unit can be pretty detrimental for where they can position unless you can safely heal them.

  • @DarkShockBro
    @DarkShockBro 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think one of the more understated reasons for the difficulty of this chapter is that you have to fight off the onslaught of enemies riiiiight before the next group of shops. In other words, not only are you limited in terms of useful units, but also; potentially, useful items. That makes the early difficulty of this chapter particularly noticeable, since you have to deal with the enemies BEFORE visiting the villages, shops, and arena.

    • @Mekkkah
      @Mekkkah  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Lance x Alan definitely. Roy x Marcus C will increase Marcus's odds of success on turn 1 and 2, but anything beyond and it might get in the way of the Roy/Cavs support triangle. If you're support grinding (as opposed to just getting supports when they come) you can also do Rutger x Dieck. All these supports help in the long term as well so it's not just a thing for this chapter.
      Nothing for this map is really going to impact you in the long term. All the units that see combat here are good long term options, except Marcus and Zealot, but it's not like you're really training them anyway, you're just using them while they're good.

    11:05 Here I would actually recomend leaving Zelot one space up and keep the handaxe, that will make the wyvern unable to avoid a counter so he would use the Steel lance and with that he would be easier to kill due to not being able to counter range attacks and it would be slowed down lowering a little bit his avoid and also lowering his AS wich would be helpful because Zelot at base can always double the wyvern with Silver lance but Marcus needs him to equip the Steel lance to do so, if both hit all their attacks the wyvern is dead and that frees the turn for the bow units to focus on the left wyvern or other enemies if you didn't activated his AI.
