Master Episode 5 of Valkyria Chronicles, 'The Kloden Wildwood.' Learn strategies for A-Rank, CP conservation, and defeating enemy units efficiently in this detailed walkthrough.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Phase 1 Setup: Deploy Shocktrooper 1 (Rosie recommended) at the easternmost northern deployment point. Deploy Lancer (Largo recommended) next to her, as far east as possible. Deploy Shocktrooper 2 at the easternmost southern deployment point. An Engineer can be placed on the northern side to clear mines if needed. Alicia can be placed anywhere for CP.
  2. 2
    Phase 1 Northern Path: Move Shocktrooper 1 east, avoiding the landmine and circling houses. Target and destroy the anti-tank unit. Immediately move to the enemy scout leader slightly south, take him out, occupy the base, and push east towards the narrow path. Stop just left of the 3 boxes on the ground, behind the embankment, facing east.
  3. 3
    Phase 1 Middle/Southern Path: Move Lancer east along the same path, avoiding the mine. Use his lance to destroy the far-right box east of the camp, opening a path through the woods. Move through this path as far as possible, bearing south towards the southern camp. Continue south as far as possible to gain maneuverability for the next phase.
  4. 4
    Phase 1 Southern Push: Move Shocktrooper 2 east toward the fallen logs. Use a grenade to clear them and push forward. Move towards the enemy's southern camp. Save your game. Move southeast in front of the medium tank (but not too close) and eliminate one of the flanking lancers. Eliminate the second lancer. Position Shocktrooper 2 behind the last tree on the path, facing the tank, to avoid its attacks. Save and end the phase.
  5. 5
    Phase 2: Enemy units will likely move. An enemy leader shocktrooper may advance west down the northern path. If Shocktrooper 2 was killed, reload and reposition.
  6. 6
    Phase 2 Your Turn: Select Shocktrooper 1 and eliminate the enemy leader directly in front. Continue east down the path, avoiding a landmine and engaging a second shocktrooper around the corner. Push as far as possible under fire, then eliminate the second shocktrooper. Continue pushing east. Save your game. Push all the way down the path, avoiding a final landmine, and head towards the gate in the fence. Just before the fence on the right is a hidden area with another shocktrooper.
Tips
  • Save before every enemy phase to mitigate unlucky shots.
  • Consider completing Skirmish 2 beforehand to level up Shocktroopers and Lancers to level 5.
  • Destructible environmental items can create safer and shorter paths.
  • The boss tank that appears when breaching the enemy's main base offers no reward and can be ignored. Killing it may even forfeit bonuses for eliminating enemy leaders.
  • If you have trouble with mines, deploy an Engineer on the northern side.
  • The recommended unit composition is two good Shocktroopers (Rosie for one) and one good Lancer (Largo recommended).
