Vandal Hearts II/Chapter 1

Railroad
Victory condition: Defeat all enemies Defeat condition: Death of the hero Basic reward: 5000 Geil Items: The real first chapter of the game starts with a very easy battle, so don't worry that you can't change your characters' equipment before the battle starts. In addition to the hero, you will control Vlad and Pike: the first will "inherit" Clive's equipment and the second that of Yuri. There are five enemies to face in this battlefield, but they are all very easy to defeat. They only have 20 HP each (so you'll take them out in one attack) and their attacks aren't all that powerful. There is also a wizard among the enemies, but all he can do is heal other units. Not much to say even about the battlefield, which is long and narrow, with the ground around the train all flat. There are two items to collect: the chest is easy to reach, but you need Wing Armor to get to the hidden item above the train.
 * Halbert (axe) – V4, H53 (chest)
 * Fire Ring (accessory) – V4, H35 (hidden)

Luxar Village
Victory condition: Defeat all enemies Defeat condition: Death of the hero Basic reward: 6000 Geil Items: This is where it starts to get serious. This battle is definitely more challenging than any you've faced so far. You will have two new allies: Pratau and Lira. Remember to upgrade everyone's equipment at the shop before starting this battle and create a diversified group, made up of characters with different equipment and skills. Since you can finally buy Wing Armors, you should equip at least one of your characters with this armor and dedicate it to collecting treasures, since there are four of them here and in very different locations. Finally, you should equip each character with a healing herb and an attack item. Even though there are five of you now, there are seven enemies to defeat here. Try to deal with them a little at a time, so you don't get surrounded. The battlefield has many buildings and reliefs, but it is probably enough for your group to stay near the entrance to the village (except of course for the character in charge of collecting the items), the enemies will come towards you on their own. The first to step forward will be two enemies with swords who shouldn't be much of a problem, even if they are quite tough. On the next turn, the two mages in the lower square will start moving. They are two decidedly dangerous opponents: one can cause huge damage to the group with the Requiem spell and the other can heal enemy troops. So try to eliminate them as soon as possible, using the spells contained in the magic staves, attack items, such as cards that you can buy in shops and long-range weapons (being the mages lower than the group you should have a good range). If you succeed, you will have overcome the most difficult part of the fight. The remaining enemies, which will come towards you progressively, are not much of a problem if you have already eliminated the wizards. There is an enemy with a dagger, one with a long-range weapon, and a winger with a spear, which can deal massive damage to a single character. So be careful not to get hit.
