Paralogue 7: The Sunken Citadel Siege
Paralogue 7, "The Sunken Citadel Siege," throws you into a defensive scenario where you must protect a specific objective or area from waves of attacking enemies. The environment, a partially submerged citadel, will likely present tactical challenges such as limited movement in flooded areas and potential ambushes from underwater units. The objective is not necessarily to defeat every enemy, but to survive for a set number of turns or prevent the enemy from reaching a critical point.
Your primary focus should be on establishing a strong defensive line. Units with high defense and resistance are crucial for holding key positions. Consider using units that can block pathways or have abilities that deter enemy advances, such as "Rally Defense" or skills that inflict "Guard Break." The terrain itself can be your ally; utilize narrow passages to funnel enemies into kill zones where your concentrated firepower can be most effective.
Enemy reinforcements are a common feature in siege maps. Always be aware of potential spawn points and ensure you have units ready to intercept them before they can disrupt your defenses. Flying units can be particularly useful for quickly repositioning to deal with threats on multiple fronts or for intercepting reinforcements before they reach your main line.
When it comes to offensive capabilities, focus on units that can deal significant damage quickly. Archers and mages are excellent for picking off enemies from a distance, especially those that are slow-moving or have limited defensive capabilities. If you have units with area-of-effect attacks, they can be invaluable for thinning out large groups of approaching enemies. Don't forget about your own healers; they will be under constant pressure, so ensure they are well-protected and have sufficient range to support your frontline units.
The "Enemy Phase" preview is your best friend on this map. Use it to predict where the enemy will attack and how many units will be involved. This allows you to adjust your formations and ensure you have the right units in the right places to counter their assault. If there's a specific objective to defend, ensure you have units dedicated to its protection, even if it means sacrificing some offensive pressure elsewhere.
