Apotheosis (Secret)

Bring everyone: Deploy all 20 available units. Aim for 10 paired-up units. Ensure all units have max stats and the Limit Breaker skill equipped. Prioritize units with Galeforce for extra movement. Utilize strong support partners.

Forge everything: Equip all units with forged Brave weapons and Celica’s Gales for extra damage against resilient enemies. Prioritize forging Brave Bows and Celica’s Gales to facilitate ranged combat and prevent damage. To afford this, ensure you have completed The Golden Gaffe DLC (downloadable content — extra missions or items released after launch) to quickly amass funds.

Rally-bots: Deploy Rally-bots, characters whose primary function is to use Rally skills, to mitigate the threat of tough enemies. Prioritize Rally Spectrum, Heart, Strength, Magic, and Speed. Female units from the Bonus Box are ideal as they can learn all Rally skills except Rally Strength. Katarina and Palla come with Rally Strength.

Vengeance counter: A sturdy unit with the Vengeance skill (learned by Sorcerers at Level 5) can defeat tough enemies on the enemy’s turn by taking significant damage and then retaliating with Vengeance. This can be a viable strategy to avoid taking extra damage from enemy Vengeance skills.

Double Bow: This Sniper-only bow, obtained from Infinite Regalia or the Bonus Box, allows attacks from up to 3 squares. While not as powerful as Brave weapons, it is useful against ranged enemies. Rallying a Double Bow user can allow them to damage dangerous foes without risk.

Round 1: The first secret round begins after clearing the first normal round. Six groups of three enemies will appear across the map, excluding the west side. Split your forces to engage enemies individually. Enemies will only move once you enter their range. Prioritize taking down Griffon Riders with bows or magic, and use magic or ranged attacks on Berserkers and Warriors. Forged Brave weapons can achieve one-round KOs. Use Galeforce hit-and-run tactics or Rescue staves to manage enemy numbers before finishing them off.

Round 2: This round starts with 5 Great Knights, 5 Snipers, and 5 Tricksters in the south-west. Split your forces into two groups: one along the west side and a larger group from the center. Use bows or magic against Tricksters and retreat out of Sniper attack range. Use magic-supported units against Great Knights, and a sturdy unit against the Spear-wielder. Be aware that woods can slow Great Knights but hinder escape. To face Snipers, use high-defense units at range or max HP units at melee. The boss Sniper has Pavise and Aegis, high Speed, and Defence, requiring multiple units to defeat. Box up the boss Sniper with four units to prevent him from attacking.
