Paralogue 18: Infinite Regalia
Paralogue 18, "Infinite Regalia," is a challenging map that tests your ability to manage powerful enemy reinforcements and a unique objective. The core of this paralogue involves defeating a specific boss unit, often a high-level Risen Lord, while simultaneously dealing with waves of elite Risen soldiers that appear throughout the battle. The map layout often features difficult terrain or choke points that can be exploited by the enemy. A crucial element of this paralogue is understanding the reinforcement triggers. Enemies will typically spawn from specific points on the map at the end of certain player turns. Identifying these spawn points and preparing defensive positions beforehand is vital. Units with high offensive stats and powerful weapons, such as Chrom with his Falchion or Lucina with her own Falchion, are essential for taking down the boss quickly. However, don't neglect your defensive capabilities. Having units with high defense and resistance, like Vaike or Miriel, is necessary to withstand the onslaught of reinforcements. Consider using units with skills that can debuff enemies, such as "Hex" or "Seal Defense," to make them more manageable. A common pitfall is focusing solely on the boss and being overwhelmed by the reinforcements. It's often more effective to thin out the waves of Risen before committing your strongest units to the boss. Healing is also paramount; ensure your healers are positioned safely but can reach front-line units. The reward for completing "Infinite Regalia" is usually a potent weapon or a rare item that can significantly boost your army's power, making the challenge worthwhile. Prioritize survival and strategic engagement over a rushed assault.
