Learn how to beat Ninja Vice in Tactics Ogre: Reborn's Amorika Castle battle. This guide covers Denim's solo fight, strategy for using Orbs, and the crucial decision afterward.

Alright, so you've made it to Battle 22 in Amorika Castle. This one's a bit different because you're thrown right into it with Denim fighting solo. If you've been keeping up with healing him, you should be in good shape, especially if he's not a squishy class like a Wizard. He should be around level 15 or 16 by now, depending on how things have gone.

Pro-Tip: Seriously, save your game right away. And then save again once you're in a position to finish the fight with just one more hit. Trust me on this.

This is a pretty straightforward 1-on-1 duel against Ninja Vice. If Denim isn't your heavy hitter, don't be afraid to use an Orb or two. Equipping one can help ensure Denim gets a turn before Vice, giving you a chance to attack and then get out of range. In my playthrough, after Denim countered Vice's first attack, he was left with about 50 HP. The real challenge here is actually keeping Vice alive long enough to hear all the dialogue!

For my first turn, I just had Denim hang back to draw out the fight, and Vice didn't do anything on his second turn. After that, you won't miss any more story by finishing off Vice. Just remember those saves beforehand, and maybe keep a backup of that save file.

Once this battle is wrapped up, you'll be facing a big decision that determines your path for Chapter 3. You'll have to choose between heading down the Neutral Route or sticking with the Chaotic one. The first option you'll see is 'There's no time,' which leads to the Neutral Route.
