Rivalry of the Houses Battle Strategy

1) Identify the Enemy Unit Types

Before proceeding through the battle, explore the map and check the types of enemy units present. This will guide you in defeating them.

List of Different Units

2) Immediately Move your Units on Forest Tiles

Place all of your units on Forest tiles to gain an advantage such as additional avoidance and defense.

List of Different Terrain Tiles

3) Place your Units Near Each Other

Make it a point to place your units beside each other even if they’re not on Forest tiles. Place melee units in front and range units, including support units, in the back.

4) Target Nearby Enemy Units First

Fire Emblem: Three Houses - Rivalry of the Houses

Enemies will send out single units in the middle of the battlefield. Take them out one by one while still placing your units near each other.

5) Choose between Singling Out One Enemy Faction or Taking Both Factions at the Same Time

You have the option to target one enemy faction first or takedown both Hanneman and Manuela’s enemy units at the same time. If you choose to engage both, divide your units into two groups evenly by having at least one melee unit and one ranged unit on each side. In terms of your support unit, make sure he/she is placed in one group and is well protected.

6) Capitalize on Combat Arts and Linked Attacks

While proceeding through the battle, don’t forget to use your unit’s Combat Arts or take advantage of Linked Attacks.

7 Defeat Manuela and Hanneman

When in range, defeat Manuela and Hanneman to end the battle as well as acquire their dropped items.
