Chapter 16 White Flames

Your expert guide to Chapter 16: White Flames in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation. Learn enemy types, new allies, and the best strategy to defeat Hans.

Alright, let's dive into Chapter 16, "White Flames." This map is a bit of a maze with all the lava fields, and the Dragon Veins can mess with your plans if you're not careful. The main goal here is to defeat the boss, Hans, who's waiting for us in the northeast. We've also got some awesome new allies joining us right at the start, so keep an eye on them!

New Allies:

• Ryoma (Swordmaster): He's a powerhouse with his Rajinto. Great for taking on promoted enemies or just steamrolling the battlefield.
• Hinoka (Sky Knight): The eldest sister. She and her retainers (Setsuna and Azama) have lower stats for this chapter, so use them for support or to pick off weaker enemies.
• Setsuna (Archer): Hinoka's retainer.
• Azama (Monk): Hinoka's retainer.
• Scarlet (Wyvern Lord): From Cheve, she's strong but a bit vulnerable to Adventurers and Outlaws.

Enemies you'll face:

• Dark Mage
• Berserker
• General
• Adventurer
• Knight
• Fighter
• Outlaw
• Sorcerer

The Battlefield:

This map is covered in Dragon Veins, which you can use to change the lava flow. However, the lava also shifts on its own at set intervals, so the battlefield is constantly changing. Trying to push straight up the middle is a bad idea – you'll likely get trapped. Instead, work with the lava flows and make your way towards the northeast, where Hans is waiting.

Strategy for Hans:

Hans is a Berserker, which means he hits like a truck, but his Resistance is pretty low. Your best bet is to hit him with magic. If you don't have strong magic users handy, just regroup your strongest units and gang up on him. And hey, if you've got Ryoma, he can probably take Hans down pretty quickly – swords do beat axes, after all! If your Avatar fights Hans, you'll get some unique dialogue, which is always fun.

Important Note: After this chapter, you won't be able to save or visit MyCastle until after Chapter 17. So, make sure you're ready to dive straight into the next challenge!
