Overview
Scipio is extremely powerful, as he has high stats, three Leadership stars, deadly skills, and wields a Killer Bow. If he manages to perform a critical hit with his bow, the character whom he targets will most likely be either severely weakened or defeated on the spot. As such, it is thus recommended to utilize strong characters such as Ares, Shannan, and the army's Forseti user to bring him down. However, it is not advisable to attack him when he is positioned on a forest tile unless necessary, as he is capable of dodging attacks rather well. It would be a great idea not to use too many units to face off against Scipio, as the players still has to be aware of Hilda and the Gelben Ritter, who are positioned directly north of his Beige Ritter troops. As with all enemies that are only capable of wielding bows, Scipio will be completely powerless if the player manages to box him in with four units.
