Strategy
Elincia's men will take care of themselves, but the actual characters should prepare a strong defense. A force should guard the right half of the lower area of the highest platform, as the enemy will destroy the weak wall the first turn. Also, the player should push the enemy coming up the stairs back to the 2nd floor and barricade the stairs. The enemy should be able to be held back until Geoffrey and the Royal Knights arrive. Geoffery and company shoulde immideatly break through Ludveck's defenses. Have the men on the top and near the top floor stay and defend the sieze point. Kieran, if he got the enemy's Hammer in the last chapter, should attack Ludveck as soon as possible, defeating Ludveck's dreams and ending Part 2. Although it is not suggested due to the massive ammont of Archers, Elincia can easily defeat Ludveck with Amiti. The latter strategy takes the time and patience to defeat the Snipers and any Fighter wielding a Crossbow.
