Iago (Chapter 18)
Chapter 18 pits you against Iago, a cunning and dangerous Nohrian tactician. Iago himself is not a direct combatant in the traditional sense, but his presence on the battlefield is a significant threat due to his unique abilities and the powerful units he commands. Iago is known for his Hexing Vow skill, which can inflict debuffs on your units, reducing their stats and making them more vulnerable. He also commands a contingent of elite Nohrian soldiers, including powerful Wyvern Riders and Knights. The map for this chapter is a sprawling fortress, with multiple pathways and choke points. It is essential to have a well-rounded army composition capable of dealing with both aerial and ground threats. Units like Camilla, with her Wyvern Rider class and potent axe attacks, can be highly effective against other flying units and can also hold their own against ground troops. The objective is to defeat Iago. A common mistake is to focus solely on Iago's position without clearing out his supporting forces, which can lead to your army being surrounded and overwhelmed. Prioritize taking down the Wyvern Riders first, as they pose a significant aerial threat. Consider using units with the Bowfaire skill or powerful bows to target them effectively from a distance. Iago's Hexing Vow can be particularly devastating if multiple units are affected. Having units with high Luck can help mitigate the chance of these debuffs being applied. If you have access to the Seal Resistance skill, it can be useful for weakening Iago's magical defenses if you plan to engage him with magic users. Remember to utilize the terrain to your advantage, creating defensive positions to weather the enemy's assault.
