Salvation at the Chapel Battle Strategy

1) Check the marketplace and set up your weapons

Before starting the battle, you can check the marketplace and purchase immediate equipment or items. Also, you can switch your battalions and fix the durability of your unit’s weapons. Make sure to set up the best weapon for each unit.

2) Explore the map and check the location of the Demonic Beasts

Explore the map and check when a Demonic Beast is nearest to a student. There is a student trapped in each corner of the ruins, but the nearest one is on the southern left side. The students also replenish their HP a little so take your time.

3) Divide your units into two groups

Separate your units into two different groups. Allocate one group with more units to attack the nearest Demonic Beasts while the other assists and protects Jeralt in taking down the others. Make sure both groups have support units.

4) Break the Demonic Beast’s Yellow Barriers

Break all yellow barriers beneath the Demonic Beasts to remove their defensive boosts.

How to Defeat Demonic Beasts

5) Make Use of Combat Arts and Avoid Using Gambits

Using Combat Arts is an effective way of defeating heavy damage to Demonic Beasts, especially when their yellow barriers are broken.

6) Continue to Assist Jeralt

Jeralt is your heavy hitter so always stick your other units to him for protection while he clears out the remaining Demonic Beasts.
