Champions of Aurelis/Script
Marth reaches Aurelis Castle, where the king's younger brother Hardin and the Archanean princess Nyna have been doggedly resisting Macedon's attempts to conquer it. Marth's arrival brings much relief to the beleaguered Hardin, who immediately sets out with his guerilla group to meet him. When the two meet, Hardin cedes command of the group to Marth, and the two break the Macedonian hold on the castle entrance. The king of Aurelis congratulates Marth, but warns him to be wary as Macedon continues to hold the castle interior.

Strategy
This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody. |
1. General Overview:
- Maximum Unit Count: 10.
- Key Units: Marth, Caeda, Lena.
- Weapon Recommendation: Rely less on swords due to their limited ranged options and weak overall performance.
2. Preparation:
- Reclassification: Turn Jagen into a Dracoknight for mobility over mountains.
- Forging: Upgrade the Ridersbane from the previous chapter. A +4 might ensures effectiveness for Jagen, Hardin, and Abel. Depending on budget, consider adding 10-30 hit as well.
New Allies:
- Hardin - Strong Cavalier.
- Roshea & Vyland - Less effective Cavaliers.
- Wolf & Sedgar - Horsemen with great growth potential.
- Wendell - Sage, provides support and healing. High base weapon levels and Speed give him good long-term performance.
3. Battle Strategy:
- Place Hardin's group tightly in the southeast corner. Send Caeda and Dracoknight Jagen to join them.
- Send a cavalry unit north to shield against incoming Thieves. Lure the northeast Pegasus Knight by turn 2.
- On turn 3, pull the cavalry with Marth's group to safeguard your Cavalier.
4. Mid-Battle Actions:
- After neutralizing the aggressive units, join Hardin with Marth's group and heal up.
- Position strategically to lure in Knights and the western Pegasus Knight without risking your units.
- Eliminate Merach using Merric's magic. To combat reinforcements, position your high defense units in the northern pass and let Archers manage the Pegasus Knights.
5. Additional Hints:
- Hardin's leftover troops will provide assistance from the bottom of the map. They may need support, though.
- Recruit Wendell using Marth or Merric.
- Gain experience from the reinforcements, they are easy targets.
- Visit the village to obtain a Firestone. This will be useful later on.
- Remember to shop for needed weapons at the armory.
Strategy for Merciless difficulty
- Be aware that enemies will be using Steel-grade weaponry from now on.
- Use Jagen as a human shield, if necessary.
- With Hardin's group, attract enemies to the lower part of the map.
- For Marth's group, lure at least one Cavalier from the right.
- Leave Wendell's group for last.
- Avoid using reinforcements for experience on this difficulty, since they move and attack on the same turn that they appear.
