Fort Condor (Hard Mode)
Fort Condor on Hard Mode in Final Fantasy VII Remake is a sificant strategic challenge that tests your ability to manage resources and deploy units effectively. The enemy forces are more aggressive and varied, requiring a deeper understanding of unit matchups and tactical deployment to succeed.
The core of Fort Condor strategy revolves around understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each unit type: Vanguard, Battalion, and Assassin. Vanguards are strong against Battalions, Battalions are strong against Assassins, and Assassins are strong against Vanguards. Your deck composition should aim for a balance to counter the enemy's likely approach. If the enemy is fielding many Vanguards, you'll need a robust selection of Assassins. Conversely, if they favor Assassins, Vanguards become your priority. Pay close attention to the enemy's unit composition and deployment patterns. Adapt your strategy accordingly; sometimes a swift offensive is needed to break through their defenses, while other times a more defensive stance is required to weather their assault. Utilize special unit abilities, such as healing or debuffing, to gain an edge. The "Grandmaster Board" unit, available for purchase from Old Snapper, is a powerful all-around unit that is highly recommended for Hard Mode. Always ensure you have enough Action Points (AP) to deploy critical units when needed, especially for reinforcements or to counter a sudden surge from the enemy. Effective use of your available AP and a well-balanced unit roster are key to overcoming the toughest Fort Condor challenges.
