Hinoka (Chapter 15) Strategy
Chapter 15, "The Sky's Fury," presents a challenging battle against Princess Hinoka and her formidable aerial forces. Hinoka, a skilled Pegasus Knight, commands a squadron of flying units, making her a mobile and dangerous adversary. Her high Speed and Skill allow her to strike quickly and accurately, while her aerial advantage can make her difficult to pin down.
The map for this chapter often features open spaces with few obstacles, allowing Hinoka and her pegasi to maneuver freely. They can easily bypass ground defenses and target your vulnerable units, such as mages or archers. Hinoka herself wields a powerful lance, and her allies often possess similar aerial capabilities, creating a significant threat to any army not prepared for aerial combat.
To counter Hinoka's aerial assault, you will need units that can effectively engage flying enemies. Archers are your primary weapon against pegasi, as they deal effective damage to them. However, archers are often slow and fragile, so they must be protected. Consider using units with high resistance, such as mages, who can also target flying units, though their range might be more limited. If you have access to Wyvern Riders or other flying units of your own, they can engage Hinoka's forces in aerial duels.
It is crucial to anticipate their movements and position your archers and mages strategically. Luring Hinoka and her forces into a position where your ranged units can attack them without being easily counter-attacked is key. You may need to sacrifice a unit to draw out her aerial assault, allowing your main force to retaliate. Pay close attention to the movement ranges of her units and plan your turns accordingly to avoid being caught off guard by a swift aerial strike.
Key Tactics:
- Deploy archers strategically to counter flying units.
- Protect your vulnerable ranged units with sturdy frontline fighters.
- Consider mages with high resistance for engaging aerial threats.
- Utilize your own flying units for aerial engagements.
- Anticipate enemy movement and position for optimal counter-attacks.
