Heroes of Mana/Chapter 6: Falcon of the Burning Sands

Initially, there won't be a great deal of enemies concentrated in any particular place on the map. There are small groups scattered around the border, including one special unit in a small group of soldiers on the far side of the map. You may want to explore the edges of the map first, taking out the soldiers you find along the way. Once you've built up a good group of units and have eliminated most of the enemy units on the map, make your way to the center of the map and find the defectors.

Once you find the Neverlan defectors the mission changes.

At this point you may want to move your ship near the defectors and concentrate your troops here to defend them from the coming onslaught of enemy units. It's not too bad if you've built up your units with a good mix (heavy and missile units can come in handy), although if you find the defectors before you're prepared for the battle it is easy enough to lose this mission.


 * This is a guide on Hard Mode.


 * Rewards you get for completing the chapter previous.
 * Alma, Amazon of Laurent, joins the fight!
 * Belgar, the Oracle of Shadows, joins the
 * fight!


 * Let's start this fifth level of the game on the hard mode.
 * East of the ship, I detect the presence of three Light Blue enemies.
 * For identified:
 * Nevarlan Soldier are light blue
 * Nevarlan Sergeant of color light green
 * And now there are no more enemies on the map, but going to the center things change.


 * Don't go to the center of the map! Until I tell you.
 * Let's just explore the edges of the map, without approaching the center.


 * In the level there are four ship landing points one is in use in the west, another one in the south, a third is in the northeast.
 * These three points have in common that they are close to a treant berries.


 * We summon two gatherer units. Starting from the ship the destination is east,
 * send one unit to Gaia's stone and the other to treant berries.
 * At this point I expect you have collected all the resources on the map.


 * Now I'll explain how to set up the winning strategy, the levels are complex and relying only on the leaders is not a victory certain.
 * but you can make a difference by learning to recognize the type of unit and therefore knowing which unit to choose to win.
 * In the level most of the enemies present are Ground units, we will win the ground units with Heavy ones.


 * solution: Build a base of heavy units from which you recruit nine boreal hounds or more.


 * The second stage of the game won't start until you get close to the center.
 * Go and move the ship to the last landing point, which is placed in the center of the map.
 * Now the real level begins, the correct strategy is to know where the enemies appear.
 * You have all the means to defend allies from invasion on the described map points.


 * The list of enemy reinforcements.
 * north-west   = Nevarland Soldier +1 / Goblin +2
 * north-east   = Nevarland Soldier +2
 * east         = Nevarland Seargeant +2 / Fierdan +1
 * south-east   = Nevarland Soldier +2 / Nevarland Seargeant +1 / Basilisk +2
 * south        = Nevarland Soldier +2 / Goblin +1
 * south-west   = Nevarland Soldier +2 / Nevarland Sergeant +1 / Basilisk +1


 * In the final moment, we will surround the allies (but also the three leaders) and boreal hound units will be on each side with the aim of defending behind the line.
