This way, the Sky Knight is now the supporting unit, and Azura can attack the enemy without fear of being at a disadvantage. By pairing up with the Sky Knight, Azura can fight the enemy by first moving the pair to the enemy, then selecting Switch before selecting Attack. take for example the image below:įor a moment, let's pretend Azura was re-classed into an offensive class, and that the enemy (red square) has a weapon that the Sky Knight is weak against.
The ability can also be used for offensive or defensive purposes. By pairing up with any unit with high mobility, one character with low movement ratings can reach the other side of the map in no time at all. This is where Double Advancing (or DA) makes its utility clear. To do so, a certain unit must reach the escape point, else face a never ending swarm of enemies. In Fire Emblem: Fates there are some missions where the objective is to escape. The Pair Up ability also allows us to do something I like to call 'double advancing'. While that feature is no longer in the game, the Pair Up function works in a similar fashion as the 'carried' unit is no longer able to be harmed. This allowed players to pick up a character to prevent them from getting harmed. Rotating melee units on one side if the enemy is coming from one side only.įire Emblem veterans likely remember the Rescue ability in older games.Placing a tankier character on one side that has more units.Longer corridors can use two ranged units on either side.Wider corridors that require two units side-by-side.The Bottleneck Defense can be adapted for several situations, such as: Depending on the enemies you face, however, you may want to use units with a little more hardiness than cavaliers. Similar in concept to the 'Turtle' method, the Bottleneck Defence is a great way to defend a weaker or ranged units when besieged by enemies on both sides (red squares). While this situation is rare in Fire Emblem, sometimes you will find yourself in a situation where you are cornered between two enemy groups in a hallway. Make an advancing 'L' shape with healer units just out of range of the enemy.Pairing up ranged units with vanguard units to maximize damage, and reduce damage taken.Placing units with higher defense on the sides with more hostile units.Placing vulnerable units in the corner of the map with at least 2 spaces distance from the vanguard to ensure ranged units cannot hit them.
This strategy can be adapted in many ways depending on the situation, including: In this example, the healer can reach any unit that is injured, while the archer can safely pick off weaker units or aid in taking out stronger ones. While I couldn't find enough sprites from Fire Emblem: Fates to make this more accurate (prepare for a lot of pictures involving cavaliers), this crude image is a classic example of a turtle strategy that works great against an onslaught of melee units. Here are some examples: The Classic "Turtle" Strategy While they will still automatically attack whatever is within range, there are certain precautions you can take to ensure your allies are safe at all times. In harder difficulties, AI units will be less inclined to attack whatever is closest, and more likely to target the easier kill. It's time for another lesson, and this time for some real strategy! Positioning is more than paying attention to tiles!
