Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 Minimum Recruitment LTC - Chapter 14

This is a defense chapter that ends after 10 turns and can't be ended faster in any way. I automatically got two new recruits at the beginning, Dean and Eda, who will be my two other flyiers along with Karin. Dean is a prepromote who comes with good stats and A-rank Lance and Sword, but at the cost of not being a permanent unit as he will leave the army on his own later on. Eda doesn't have this downside but her base stats are barely good enough to fight on her own and, as Glade, she has an awful E-rank sword indoor. Dean started with the Dainn's Scroll, which is my first scroll, giving me a reliable way to deal with high critical rates enemies. I already missed 7 of them, either because they were simply impossible to get (gaiden chapters), or because getting them would have costed extra turns.

My main objectives for this chapter were to get Karin good training and B-rank sword, purchasing 3 Stamina Drinks and stealing the 3 Physic. Secondary objectives included training Eda, and training sword ranks for Finn and Glade, as well as getting Dean's personal weapon from the house near the Physic priests. By selling most of my unused items and using the arena, I have barely enough money to get these Stamina Drinks.

Karin started the chapter with D-rank sword 26 Wexp, so she needed to swing her sword 74 times to go to B-rank. Putting her on the crossroad in the middle of the town allowed her to fight as much as possible, and with supports from Fergus, Nanna and the Kingmaker, almost all attacks against her only had 1% accuracy (she still got hit by one of them...). Even with all that, I was a little short to reach B-rank in time, so she sometimes also used the Kingmaker to swing up to 4 times per battle, while also killing more armors which meant fighting more new ones.

The Physic priests are protected by a few armors, a 15 range ballista as well as a strong boss. Osian is my only unit with a good chance to clear the area without dying thanks to his Vouge. He will also not be missed by the rest of my units as he doesn't provide or receive any support from them. Dean is also following him from far away to get his personal weapon, as well as to help Osian capture the priests and steal their Physic.
