Guide to completing Chapter 7: Incursion in Fire Emblem: Awakening. Learn boss strategies, new unit recruitment, and tips for navigating the map.

Alright, let's dive into Chapter 7: Incursion! This map can be a bit tricky with its narrow paths, so we'll want to play it smart from the get-go.

Boss Information:

  • Name: Vasto
  • Class: Wyvern Rider
  • Level: 12
  • Item: Steel Axe

New Units:

  • Name: Cordelia
  • Class: Pegasus Knight
  • Level: 7
  • Recruitment: Joins from Turn 3
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Initial Defense: When you start, the enemies will come to you. This is your chance to set up a strong defensive line. Put your sturdiest units at the front to take the hits, and position your mages or archers behind them so they can attack safely. The narrow terrain actually works in your favor here, funneling the enemies.
  2. 2
    Watch the Skies: Keep a close eye on the Wyvern Riders positioned on the mountains and cliffs. They have a good range and can easily pick off your weaker units like healers if you're not careful. Try to keep them engaged or out of their attack range.
  3. 3
    Pushing Right: After you've dealt with the first wave of enemies, it's time to start advancing. Your goal is to move towards the right side of the map. This is important because enemy reinforcements will start appearing from the left, the same side where Cordelia will eventually show up.
  4. 4
    Reinforcements and Cordelia: Around turns 4-6, you'll likely be facing new enemies coming from the left. This is also when Cordelia, a valuable Pegasus Knight, will join your cause. Make sure you're ready to handle the new threats while also securing Cordelia's recruitment.
  5. 5
    Securing the Middle: By the time you've dealt with the reinforcements and Cordelia has joined, you should aim to have the middle of the map under control. This gives you a good staging ground for the final push.
  6. 6
    Facing the Boss: The boss, Vasto, can be dealt with relatively easily. If you have Chrom, his Falchion weapon is super effective against him. Just remember to keep an eye on enemy ranges as you approach and proceed with caution. Don't rush in blindly!
Tips
  • Playing defensively at the start is key. Let the enemies come to your well-prepared position.
  • Don't underestimate the Wyvern Riders' range; they can be a real pain if ignored.
  • Cordelia is a great unit to recruit, so be ready to welcome her to your army.
  • Falchion is your best friend for taking down the boss.
  • Always be mindful of enemy unit ranges, especially when moving your vulnerable units.
