Taking Fort Merceus Strategy
1) Defeat the Death Knight as fast as possible
As the battle progresses, more enemy units will spawn on the blue tiles. It is recommended that you focus on getting to the center of the battlefield and defeat the Death Knight swiftly before the enemies can overwhelm your units.
You should have at least two flying units and one or two cavalry magic users in your party to quickly maneuver around the map. Advance your units to the left and defeat the fortress enemy units to the north using your best magic users. Quickly march toward the center and fight the Death Knight using Byleth.
Get Claude closer to the Death Knight, but don’t go near him if your other units aren’t nearby. Claude should deal the final blow if Death Knight survives Byleth’s attack.

IF you don’t have warp by this point you have fucked up.
Go north immediately, kill the ballista user, warp your ballista user there, make claude regroup with the squad, the ally units can take care of themselves, bang left and chop that fuccboi Death Knight.
Turn 5 victory is assured through two warp uses, and gambits.
If your Raph isn’t slaying the death knight by now you gots problems fam.
