Availability changes

Map tutorial

Compared to the original game, some units have changes to their avaliability or alleviating restrictions for usage.

On this map, these three allies have now joined your ranks.

On future maps, look out for avaliable talk commands to recruit specific units sooner.

On Maddening mode specifically, this map would contain this requirement.

Volug's Herbalist

Tutorial

The Herbalist skill that belongs to Volug is capable of merging held healing items into newer ones of higher quality.

However, it can also repair singular healing items if a second is not found. Both repairing and merging cannot be done together.

If three vulneraries are in his inventory, the first two are merged and the third is not modified.

Additionally, merging is chained if previous merges result in two of the same upgraded healing items remaining in his inventory.

For example, if he holds two herbs, a vulnerary and a concoction when the map begins, he would be left with a single elixir.

Ideally, you'll want to merge or repair items with the lowest remaining uses, so the inventory order is important.

Helpful Tips carried here — 4

Enemy Siege Tomes

Helpful Tip

Enemy siege tomes have a cooldown of two turns by default. They'll auto-equip other weapons the turn after usage, meaning they're vulnerable during the next player phase.

Armored Movement

Helpful Tip

Armored units can move through thickets or climb ledges with no additional movement cost. During certain maps, they can become surprisingly mobile as a result.

Curse

Helpful Tip

Cursed weapons will inflict two stacks of Poison to the defending unit when attacked by light magic. Poison is capped at three stacks.

Poison

Helpful Tip

Poison deals 10 fixed damage after combat for each stack, and can't be avoided. Micaiah and allies affected by innate Boon have immunity.

Dialogue
  1. Micaiah

    So, you are an old friend of Laura's?

  2. Aran

    Yes. I'm afraid I must apologize for my poor choice in employers.

  3. Micaiah

    Please don't worry about it. After all, you saved us.

  4. Aran

    When I saw Laura, I simply couldn't stand by any longer.

  5. Laura

    Thank you, Aran.

  6. Aran

    I've been meaning to ask you, Laura. What's become of your church?

    I'd heard that, since the occupation, most of Daein's clergy have been excommunicated and sent to prisons.

    I know that the empire sent its own replacements. Was your church affected?

  7. Laura

    No, thankfully. Our congregation would always say...

    "The clergy of the empire wouldn't even consider coming to a dingy church in a backwater village like this!

    You've been spared, Minister!" Ha ha ha...

    We extended our prayer time to thank the goddess for saving our church.

  8. Aran

    Ah... I see.

  9. Laura

    Oh, Aran. I meant to tell you, now that you're one of us, you'll have to become a bandit.

  10. Micaiah

    Excuse me?

  11. Aran

    I'm sorry...a bandit?

  12. Laura

    There's really no need to worry. The Dawn Brigade bandits have virtuous people like Micaiah in their ranks.

  13. Aran

    Er... Okaaay...

  14. Micaiah

    No, we're not ban--

  15. Laura

    Aran, we must strive above all else to be honorable bandits! I will steal and pillage for the future of Daein!

  16. Aran

    Uh... All right...

  17. Micaiah

    ...Oh my...
