Chapter Twenty Five: Crazed Beast ---------------------------------------------

Master Chapter 25 of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade! Learn strategies for defeating Pascal, seizing fortresses, and recruiting Farina in Hector Mode.

Alright, let's dive into Chapter 25, 'Crazed Beast,' which is a Hector Mode exclusive! This one's pretty straightforward but offers some great rewards and a chance to snag a powerful new ally.

Objective: Earn 3 points by seizing 3 specific fortresses.

New Character: Farina joins as an ally on Turn 5. She'll talk to Hector and give you a massive 20,000 Gold!

Boss Data:

• Name: Pascal
• Class: Paladin
• Level: 14
• Weapon: Spear
• HP: 48
• STR: 17
• SKL: 13
• SPD: 10
• DEF: 13
• RES: 8
• LUC: 11

Items: Grab the Elysian Whip by visiting the village located to the east.

Strategy:

1. Fliers to the East: Send your flying units immediately towards the east. Their primary targets here are the ballista and the monks. Disarming the ballista prevents it from being a threat, and racking up EXP by defeating the monks is a great way to boost your fliers.
2. Axemen North: Your sturdy axemen, like Hector himself, should head north to confront the chapter's boss, Pascal.
3. Sword Users West: Deploy your reliable sword users, such as Raven, to take on the enemies to the west.
4. Mages and Healers Stay Put: Keep most of your magic users and your healer in a safe, central position. They generally won't be needed on the front lines for this map.
5. Archer in the Ballista: If you have an archer, consider moving them into the ballista once it's safe. They can rack up a significant amount of experience by sniping enemy fliers from a distance.
6. Farina's Arrival: On Turn 5, Farina will appear and talk to Hector. While 20,000 Gold is a huge incentive, be mindful of her recruitment cost if you're considering using her long-term. She's an excellent unit, but on an S-rank mission, you might want to weigh the investment.
7. Seizing the Fortresses: You need to seize three specific fortresses:
   • The one in the west, guarded by a Berserker.
   • The one in the east, guarded by a Bishop.
   • The one in the north, guarded by Pascal.
8. Prioritize EXP: This chapter is excellent for gaining experience, especially for your fliers. Take your time to defeat as many enemies as possible while securing the fortresses.

This is a really useful and generally easy chapter, especially if you play it smart with your unit deployment!
