Fort Condor (Hard Mode Strategy)
Fort Condor on Hard Mode in Final Fantasy VII Remake is a demanding strategic challenge that requires careful unit selection and deployment. The enemy forces are sificantly stronger, and victory hinges on exploiting their weaknesses and maintaining a strong defensive line while pushing your offense.
The core of Fort Condor strategy lies in understanding the rock-paper-scissors dynamic between unit types: Vanguard, Battalion, and Assassin. Vanguards are strong against Battalions, Battalions against Assassins, and Assassins against Vanguards. Your deck composition should reflect a balance to counter various enemy approaches. For example, if the enemy fields many Vanguards, you'll need a solid contingent of Assassins. Conversely, if they rely on Assassins, Vanguards become your priority. Pay close attention to the enemy's unit composition and deployment patterns. Adapt your strategy on the fly; 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. Some enemy units have specific resistances or vulnerabilities, so scouting their approach can inform your deployment choices. Effective use of your available AP and a well-balanced unit roster are key to overcoming the toughest Fort Condor challenges.
