Your Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation walkthrough for Chapter 8, Traitor's Brand. Learn enemy types, new allies, and strategies to defeat the boss at Fort Jinya.

Alright, let's tackle Chapter 8, also known as "Traitor's Brand." This one's at Fort Jinya and the main goal is pretty simple: defeat the boss. Don't let the name fool you, it's more straightforward than it sounds, even with a bunch of enemies around.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start at Fort Jinya. The map has a decent number of enemies, especially on higher difficulties, so make sure your units are ready. The core strategy here is to pair up your Avatar with Gunter. This gives your Avatar a solid defensive boost and allows Gunter to chip away at enemies.
  2. 2
    Use Azura to refresh your main attacking pair (Avatar/Gunter) so they can get extra turns. Keep Jakob or Felicia nearby to heal any damage taken. If you've been training Mozu, she's also a great addition here, especially if you need more damage output.
  3. 3
    Your Avatar's Dragonstone is your best friend in this chapter. It's powerful enough to one-shot many enemies, particularly those with lower Resistance stats. Don't underestimate its power!
  4. 4
    Keep an eye out for a Dragon Vein on the map. Activating it turns a section into a healing zone, which can be a lifesaver if you're taking a lot of damage. However, it's not strictly necessary to win, so don't stress too much if you can't reach it. You can also use this opportunity to level up your healers like Felicia or Jakob if they need the experience.
  5. 5
    There are a few chests scattered around the sides of the map. If you have Chest Keys, it's worth grabbing them, but be aware that some enemies like Saizo and Orochi won't attack unless you get close. Yukimura, the boss, is pretty stationary.
  6. 6
    Try to use your less-leveled characters to take down the tougher enemies like Saizo and Orochi. Your Avatar is probably pretty strong by now, so save them for the main boss. These enemies give a good chunk of experience, so it's a great way to train up your other units.
  7. 7
    When you're ready to finish the chapter, focus your attacks on Yukimura. Gang up on him with your strongest units to defeat him in a single turn if possible.

New Allies:

  • Sakura (Shrine Maiden): Joins automatically at the end of the chapter.
  • Hana (Samurai): Joins automatically at the end of the chapter. She's very fast.
  • Subaki (Sky Knight): Joins automatically at the end of the chapter. He's a bit slower but more durable.
  • Kaze (Ninja): Joins automatically at the end of the chapter. He's your new Locktouch unit!
Tips
  • Pairing up Gunter with your Avatar is key for survivability and offense.
  • Don't forget to use Azura's Refresh skill to get extra turns for your main attackers.
  • Your Avatar's Dragonstone is extremely effective here; use it to its full potential.
  • Leveling up Felicia or Jakob by healing can be a good secondary objective if you have spare turns.
  • Prioritize defeating Yukimura last to maximize experience gains for your weaker units.
  • Sakura, Hana, Subaki, and Kaze join your party.
