Master Chapter 11 of Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, 'Rainbow Sage.' Learn strategies to defeat Hinoka, navigate staircases, and overcome enemy skills like Counter and Lunge.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The objective is to defeat the boss, Hinoka, at the top of the Sevenfold Sanctuary.
  2. 2
    Staircases do not consume a unit's turn; they can still move, use items, or attack after using them.
  3. 3
    Units can move between staircases freely as long as their turn is active.
  4. 4
    Staircases cannot be entered if blocked by another unit.
  5. 5
    The map is divided into left and right paths; send a healer with each group.
  6. 6
    Beware of Archers in the first left room with the Counter skill; engage from range or defeat them in one hit.
  7. 7
    Diviners in the second right room have Miracle, which may leave them at 1 HP.
  8. 8
    Ninjas in the second left room have the Lunge skill, which switches places with the unit they battle.
  9. 9
    The first set of rooms features Archers led by Setsuna and Oni Savages led by Rinkah. Lure them out with a tanky character.
  10. 10
    The second set of rooms are guarded by Azama and Kaze. Azama has a Hexing Rod with three uses, which halves maximum HP. Use a sacrificial unit to bait the Hexing Rod.
  11. 11
    Unnamed Ninjas in Kaze's room have Lunge. Use a tanky character to absorb their hits.
  12. 12
    All unnamed enemies in these rooms will move to attack if you are in range.
  13. 13
    In the paired Samurai room, use strong defensive units to tank hits and defeat them. Position units around the staircase to rush Samurai after they move into range.
  14. 14
    After defeating the Samurai, use Niles to open the two Chests: the left chest contains a Spirit Dust, and the right chest contains an Enfeeble Staff.
  15. 15
    The enemies in the final room support Hinoka. If a character can fend off Hinoka's dual attacks, you can grind EXP against her as the Shrine Maiden will heal her.
  16. 16
    Hinoka has the Winged Shield ability, which protects her from bonus damage like arrows.
  17. 17
    Defeat Hinoka to end the battle.
  18. 18
    After the battle, you acquire the Ninja Kaze.
Tips
  • Use the staircase mechanic to scout enemy positions and damage before committing to an engagement.
  • If facing Azama, position a sacrificial unit to bait his Hexing Rod, preventing him from debuffing your main force.
  • In Normal Mode, Battle Saves can mitigate risks during EXP grinding against Hinoka.
