These maps teach the basic rules of combat.

Map Names	Reward	Heroes	Rule
Activate a Special Skill	300 (Normal)	Anna	Drag Anna to a foe's space to initiate combat. When the cooldown counter by her shoulders show the Special symbol, her Special will trigger on her next attack. Turn limit: 3
Red, Blue, and Green	300 (Normal)	Alfonse Anna Sharena	Red units are stronger against green foes, and blue units are stronger against red. But what about green units? Use the weapon-triangle to your advantage! Turn limit: 1, Survivors: 3
Ranged Attacks	300 (Normal)	Anna Takumi	Ranged weapons allow units to attack foes who are two spaces away. Takumi's bow is a ranged weapon, so he has more reach than Anna does with her axe. Turn limit: 1, Survivors: 2
Can't Fight Back!	300 (Normal)	Anna Takumi	Units using ranged weapons can't attack foes in adjacent spaces. Lukily, Anna can come to Takumi's aid. Turn limit: 1, Survivors: 2
Effective Attacks	300 (Normal)	Takumi	Among the ranged weapons, bows are best at taking down flying foes. Since bows are "effective against" flying foes, bow units can deal 1.5x normal damage in combat. Turn limit: 5
Attacking with Magic	1 (Normal)	Arvis Takumi	Like bows, most magic weapons are ranged. But rather than Def, Res is used to defend against magic. Foes with low Res are vulnerable to magic attacks. Turn limit: 1, Survivors: 2
Understanding Breath	300 (Normal)	Alfonse Young Tiki	Breath weapons used by dragons like Tiki are like magic weapons since foes with low Res are also weak to dragons. But breath weapons only work against adjacent foes. Turn limit: 3, Survivors: 2
Counterattacks	300 (Normal)	Chrom (Knight Exalt)	If a unit's range (Rng) is the same as its foe's, the unit can counterattack. This is a good method for defeating foes within a limited number of turns. Turn limit: 2
Follow-Up Attacks	300 (Normal)	Mia Ike	If a unit's Spd is at least 5 more than its foe's Spd, the unit can make a secondary follow-up attack during combat. Check the Spd of your foes and look for opportunities and follow-ups. Turn limit: 1, Survivors: 2
Weaken Foes with Daggers	300 (Normal)	Kaze Takumi	Daggers are ranged weapons that often weaken foes after combat. Units using daggers can attack first to help their allies take down particularly tough foes. Turn limit: 1, Survivors: 2
Boosting with Rally	300 (Normal)	Sharena Takumi	The Rally series of Assist skills grants bonuses to ally's stats. These skills can target allies in spaces that appear green. Rally Takumi to beat this foe. Turn limit: 1, Survivors: 2
Heal to Win	1 (Normal)	Anna Lissa	Units with staves can use healing Assist skills. These skills can target allies in spaces that appear green. Try healing Anna when she's injured. Turn limit: 2, Survivors: 2
Baiting Foes	300 (Normal)	Effie Anna	If a unit can't move close enough to foes to initiate combat, an ally can bait them out. Allies with high Def can help with this. Tap Danger Area to check your foes' range. Turn limit: 3, Survivors: 2
Escaping Danger	300 (Normal)	Reinhardt Barst	The Assist skills Reposition and Draw Back can help you move an ally out of danger. After attacking, help your ally escape from the Danger Area. Turn limit: 3, Survivors: 2

Armored Allies	300 (Normal)	Effie	Armored units can move only one space at a time but have high stats, especially Def. By moving to defensive terrain, these units are even tougher for their foes to defeat. Turn limit: 5
Cavalry Allies	300 (Normal)	Peri	Cavalry units can move up to 3 spaces at a time, but they can't enter forests. Trenches also limit their movement to 1 space. Advance on your foes, mindful of these limitations. Turn limit: 7
Flying Allies	300 (Normal)	Est Caeda	Flying units can travel freely through forests as well as over mountains and rivers. However, they're weak to bows. Take advantage of their mobility to take down foes while avoiding the archer's attacks. Turn limit: 3, Survivors: 2
