Author's Note
========================================================================
This may be the last FAQ update for my first FAQ. It has a been while
since the FAQ has been updated. But surprisingly, I still received
e-mails regarding Brigandine even though it has already been released
two years ago.
The reason for this update is partly due to a reader's strategy about
Leonia. His walkthrough is really useful that I found out that it is
much better than the walkthrough that I have written. Leonia can be
powerful as long as you made use of the Holy Word. The second reason is
some more additional information regarding Iscalio and New Almekia,
plus a couple of new important stuff to add.
Besides this, I still get questions regarding the Bulnoil fight along
with getting Aldis into your party. BTW, I have confirmed the method in
getting Schutleis. The only country can get two Rune Knights by winning
the first battle would be Norgard.
*Norgard - most lv 20 Rune Knights at the end of game!*
Norgard is really strong as I was partly stunned by the total number of
level 20+ Rune Knights. The Rune Knights are Guinglain, Yvain,
Palomides, Roadbull, Zerafin, Dillard, Morholt, Luintail, Brangien,
Kirkmond and Vaynard. [This is done without using a gameshark!]
*Caerleon - Victory without defeating any countries!*
During the past few months, I have finished the game with all rulers.
I have finished the game with Caerleon without defeating any of the
countries. It is by making use of one country to kill the other
country ^_^;). I have forced Zemeckis to be trapped with Iscalio
continent and pressured them to kill off Iscalio. Eventually, Esgares
will greatly weaken without their leader and Esgares is being
annihilated by New Almekia. After that, I have pressured Leonia to one
castle and have Norgard to eliminate it. Eventually, I have occupied
Senadon and station my best army there where New Almekia defeated
Norgard. Hence, I have defeat the game without defeating any countries!
BTW, Cai can cast 2 Geno-Thunders in his starting level and I have come
up with a deadly strategy for it. Refer to Strategies section for more
details. It applies to any Wizards too.

Basics of playing Brigandine

What makes this game having such a high replay value? In Brigandine, you
can complete the game with 6 rulers. [well, one of them is hidden ^_^;].
Plus there is a lot of fun watching the raising of flags of different
colours! You can also enjoy animations of monsters evolving. Different
rulers have different attack moves and blasting spells.

/ 2.2 \_________________________________________________________________
========================================================================
Meaning of the Organize Phrase
========================================================================
This implies to all rulers [that also includes Esgares]. Firstly, I will
explain the meaning of the Organize phrase. During this period, you can
move your knights around castles [provided that you have a route] or
wait and defend the castle that they are currently at. You can also send
your Rune Knights for quests, summoning monsters, place your troops in
order or viewing the stats of your knights and monsters.
Stats - allows you to view the statistics of the Rune Knights and
Monsters. They covers information on the characters.
Organize - Allows you to organize the characers and given the
Organize screen:
Order - change the Order of the Rune Knights and Monsters
Class - change between classes for Rune Knights, promoting
classes for monsters. Monster must achieve the
minimum requirements before they can get promoted.
Item - Allow you to use items to raise attributes.
Certain items are meant for Rune Knights only.
Equip - equip essential equipment for Rune Knights. Note
that certain classes can only equip certain
equipment.
Name - Give your monsters a name. ^_^
Delete - Allows you to eliminate monsters.
Move - Allows your characters to move to another castle. This is
only applicable if roads are provided.
Wait - Cancels the Move/Quest command
Quest - Send Rune Knights on quest. There is no limit of the number
of Rune Knights that you can send on quests. But rulers
can't be on quest.
Summon - Allows you to summon monsters. This is only avaliable if
Rune Knights are avaliable.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stats:
This option allows you to view the stats of your leaders or monsters
based on the amount of HP, MP and their strength, intelligience, agility
and their movement range. Note that you can also view the stats of your
opponents too. If you press Circle, the second time, it will bring up
the attack list and also includes magic. The third time, applies to
characters will give you the character's information sheet, which
includes their age and their past. The information sheet also changes as
you advance in the game. For example, you will see Loufal's information
sheet changes once he has gotten to the Cavalier Class and gotten his
father's sword, Mithril Sword.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Organize:
This option allows you to switch places of your monsters and moving
monsters from your stocks. Take note of the amount of Rune Power that
the Rune knight has or you will not be able to exit this screen, if it
has exceeded the Rune Knight's Rune Power. Pressing Circle will view the
status of your Rune Knights [even opponent's Rune Knights]. You can also
equipped weapons [You can only equipped weapons on Rune Knights. BTW,
not all weapons can be equipped on every class. For examplle, you will
not see an Archer carrying a sword. i.e. Archers can't equip swords.]
or use items. You can also re-name your monsters or delete your monsters.
The organize screen also allows you to have various options such as
changing classes into other classes. Once monsters have proceed to the
teritary classes, they can't be changed back to its original form.
The Rune Knights ,on the other hand, can change from one class to
another. Refer to the list of classes and monsters for more details and
explanation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Move:
This command allows you to move the Rune Knights (along with the
monsters within their Rune Power) from a castle to another castle [This
can be done, provided that the castle carries the same coloured flag,
and must provide a route]. Note that you can not move monsters that
found in the stocks to another castle. You can have a wait command too,
by selecting the same castle. To provide more than one Rune Knights in
one turn, press Square button to do the multiple selection [You will
find the words being highlighted with yellow] and move the cursor
to the desired castle and press the X button.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wait:
This cancels the "MOVE" command. BTW, please note that you can have as
many Rune Knights as you want to be stationed in the same castle. BTW,
the calender is measured by month, so take note of it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quest:
Any Rune Knights who went for quests do not return for while and takes
about 3 months at most. You will be unable to assign them to defend the
castle and attack the enemies' castles. They are temporarily out of duty
and will only return back to the castle, where your ruler currently is
situated at [This will be done once they have completed the quest].
Sometimes, your knight may wounded during the process of the questing
OR may have attributes gained or new weapons. [More details will be
covered under the Quests and Items sections.] Quests also allow you to
nab high-level monsters too. All knights can be sent for quests except
for Rulers.
=========================================================================
Notes about Quests
=========================================================================
Once the month is over (i.e. you can completed the Attack phrase), you
will see either one of the following pictures:
1) Picture of Woods
2) Picture of a Valley
3) Picture of a Road
4) Picture of a dark cave
5) Picture of a city street
6) Picture of a desert house
7) Picture of an island
8) Picture of a village
9) Picture of a magnificent house - applies to Rain (getting
Ranguinus)/ Liguel, Castor and Miguel (The Rand Family)
10) Picture of a sword stabbed on the earth - Halley returns to
Leland's grave where she says of a resemble of Cador and Leland.
This applies to New Alemekia only.
Of course, you will not any animation regarding to do. Instead you will
see a short summary regarding the Rune Knight's quest. The quest also
described what items that Rune Knight has gained for country, the
attributes that the Rune Knights has recieved and whether he is wounded
or not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you are done with organizing your country, press the SELECT button
and choose "EXCUTE" option and you see the "ATTACK" phrase. You can only
attack adjacent castles only and take note of the following tips:
_____
/ 2.3 \_________________________________________________________________
========================================================================
Begineer's Tips
========================================================================
Here are some tips, who have just started playing Brigandine.
1. Once you have won the battle and all victorous knights will be
occupying the castle. The wounded ones are sent back to main captial
of your country. For example, in the case of Norgard, the Rune
Knights will be sent to Flogeru. They will be able to battle again
after a month. Hence always remember to sent other Rune Knights there
to replace them and repulse any enemy's invasions. If the captial is
being invaded, the wounded character will be placed at the next
castle with the highest income. Sometimes they are being sent back to
castle, where the ruler is.
2. Get your country in order, move your most powerful Rune Knights
along with to-be-trained Knights such as Loufal and Lance to the
castles located at your bounderies. At the beginning of the game,
there are a couple of Rune Knights that are approaching the next
class, once they reach another level. One good example, is Gallo of
Iscalio and Aphelia of New Almekia.
3. Note that if you managed to seal of those castles, there is no need
for you to defend the castles located behind as the enemies cannot
reach it. Instead, try to control as many castles as possible as it
will be easier for you to launch an attack. Target your attacks on
the key castles/ "choke points" such as Orkney of the Esgares Empire.
For example if you are playing as New Almekia, you only need to
defend Calmary and Gorule as it prevents the enemies from attacking
the remaining castles of New Almekia.
4. Before attacking your enemies, take note of the status of the
enemy's troops as it would be better to know your foe well before
attacking them. Note that the enemy's troops will change when you
check the castle during the Organize Phrase. Instead check the
castle that you would like to attack during the Attack Phrase. BTW,
attacking unguarded castles nabs you 200 EXP. [You will definitely
get this chance, while playing as New Almekia or Caerleon]
5. Here is an advice. Always go with one best leader such as Dinadan
and along with a couple of to-be-trained Rune Knights. Try to gain
the EXPERT status and change their classes. As for characters such
as Filo of Leonia, change her to Enchantress as she has already
accquired EXPERT in cleric. Five levels up will gain a EXPERT in
that class. However, there is one special class that you need to
take note of and that's the Ninja Class. More details will be covered
under the Units Bestiary section.
Before moving around the cursor, press Circle will brings up the income
screen.
Domain - the number of domains that you have conquered.
Knights - number of Rune Knights for the country.
Monsters - number of monsters you have in your country.
Mana - "cash" used in Brigandine. Required to summon monsters.
Income - the total of the income from all acquired domains.
Upkeep - total unkeep costs for maintaining monsters. The most
expensive upkeep is the Lucifer, which exceeds its Rune
Cost! Upkeep costs reduces the amount of mana you will earn.
Mana is being calculated using the following formula:
Mana = sum of all conquered castles' income - total upkeep cost.
_____
/ 2.4 \_________________________________________________________________
========================================================================
In-battle information
========================================================================
During battles, you can only send out the maximum of three troops of
Rune Knights, therefore make sure that your Rune Knights do not have
only one monster under their control. Or else, I would recommended that
you better retreat. The battle will only end if you have accquired the
following conditions:
1. The enemies has retreated.
2. You have succeeded in defeating them by have them used up all their
HP and they will retreat. Normally, once you had defeated one of the
Rune Knights, there are 70% chance that they will retreat. However
if that castle is opponent's last castle, you need to defeat all of
them or just the ruler.
3. You have wounded the ruler [they are Vaynard, Lance, Lyoneese,
Zemeckis, Cai, Dryst and Bulnoil] and the ENTIRE army will retreat.
4. This applies for defence only. If the enemies to do not attack your
party or kill your generals in time. There will be a time limit and
they will automatically retreat. This also applies to you too. This
happens twice to me, at the battle of Lidney and Dilworth.
5. Turns are not in random. The higher levels the characters, they will
have their turn first. If the character level up, the turn sequence
will change. So take note.
6. Rants will automatically appear once they engaged in combat. For
example you will see Lance and Zemeckis talk to each other before the
combat begins. Certain rants takes quite a short time. Questing
Knights too, have rants such as Layoneil and Helrato /Cortina and
Zemeckis (sounds funny when Cortina at level 1 challenges a Level 27
Zemeckis.). BTW, you get to see rants between Shiraha and Kazan...
7. There is a condition known as Force Retreat. This will occur normally
when a castle is being surrounded by enemies' castles. The enemy will
be forced to retreat automatically and you have a high chance to
getting their monsters to your group.
Conditions for Game Over
- If your country has been eliminated, all castles being conquered.
- Snake of Chaos awakened..
Different time intervals for different level difficulties
- Easy mode : 60 years, Calender: Month 2, 275
- Normal mode : 30 years, Calender: Month 2, 245

Note: all of them are after the attack phrase.

details under the Miscellaneous

Battle Tips and Strategies
========================================================================
Here are some battle tips and strategies for the game. If you have one,
just sent me the strategy to
_____
/ 3.1 \_________________________________________________________________
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle Tips
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. As you viewed the status of the knights and monsters, you will find
coloured orbs [black, white, red, green, white] and these are
called elementals and they are important. These will determine the
amount of damage done on your opponents. White units such as
Gryhons and Unicorns will do a higher damage on black units such as
Ghouls and Hellhounds. There are some monsters that does not have
an elemental orb, such as Rocs. The number of these elementals are
important. For example, a three red unit such as the Salamander
will do massive amount of damage on a two blue unit such as Hydras.
However, a monster with a mixture of elementals such as Gigas, a
red and black elementals will not do much on the same Hydra.
2. Movement range is also important as it determines the amount of
time that you required to set up your formation. Flying monsters
such as Rocs, Wyverns and White Dragons has a longer movement range
compared to heavy type monsters such as Hydras and Dragons. Move
the heavy units first then the light ones [example: Unicorn] and
finally, the flying monsters. Don't overlook terrains on the
battlefield, this will sometimes affect the movement range.
Unicorns will move slowly on mountains or forests [green patches].
Hydras on the other hand can not walk on mountains but moves faster
on water. BTW, Hydras and water units can't cross mountains. This
may applies to some light units such as Centaurs and Unicorns.
Mandrake and Man-Eater moves estonishing fast in forest-type
battlefields
3. There are several monsters, which have long-range attacks. One good
example is the Centaurs. This can done in further distance up to
the maximum of 5 hexes. This attacks can NOT be counterattacked
even the unit is normally able to do so. Examples are Hunter shot
and Killer Shot. But if you will use the Feather Storm [a 2 hex
weapon attack for Holy Griffin] where the unit is just next the
enemy's unit. You will encounter it in battle [i.e. there will
definitely be a counter-attack.]. Certain long range attacks can't
be used after movement. Examples include Feather Storm, Bat Attack
and Spine Missile.
4. At higher difficulty levels, especially Medium and Hard, the enemies
will remain in place and wait for you to approach them. There is a
case, where the computer trying to escape from battle which leads to
time over, so it is advisble to have flying monsters such as Rocs.
During Hard or Medium difficulty, the enemies will start to counter
attack, once your troops are within 4 hex away from their units.
5. At water-based battlefields, it's advisble that you have water-
based units such as Hydras and Mermans as they could regenerate
their HP due to their Aqua Recovery. If you have a Tiamat, you could
understand its dangerous position in such battlefields. Most units
such as Dragons and land type units lost their evasion while being
positioned on water terrains. So make use of it to your advantage.
6. Do not overlook castles that have water surrounding them as they
will allows you to summon marine forces such as Hydras and Mermans.
Examples are Humber of Norgard and Lidney of Esgares. BTW, make use
of aquatic forces to defend the area. Lizard Men/ Lizard Guards are
considered to be one of versatile units as water terrains does not
hinders its movement and they have low Rune Cost and you need low
Mana to summon one Lizard Man.
7. When surrounded by enemies, use area-based attacks such as Holy
Word, Geno-Flame, Geno-Frost to wipe them out. This will greatly
weaken most of them within a turn. If you have a Bishop, place it in
middle of group, so that an Area Heal will be fully utilized.
8. Target your main attacks on Rune Knights as these will help you to
conserve as many HP as possible. If the ruler of the country is
there, concentrate on attacking him / her and this will force the
ENTIRE army to retreat. Of course, I would concentrate on lower
level rune knights than a Level 27 Zemeckis. BTW, Lyonesse and Lance
are actually good targets ^_^; But the higher the level of the
Rune Knights are, the more EXP points you will gain upon defeating
them.
9. Kill off healing parties such as Unicorns or Angels as they will
help to regain lost HP and will create more trouble as you will
have start all over again, in order, to kill the dying monster or
leader. Also, protect your Unicorns from harm as this help to
conserve more MP and use it affectively, cast only when the HP is
low about 100+. You really need Unicorns /Angels to support growing
Giants/Wyverns/Dragons.
10. Cast Fog on low agile and red-elemental creatures such as Dragons
as this will causes the monster to miss and aid in conserving HP.
Fog is extremely effective against low agile monsters such as
Hydras/Dragons/Golems
11. When you are about to be defeated, try this method to gain most EXP.
Keep your monsters within the Rune Area of the Rune Knight. Next
have them do the attacking first and then select the knight last
and choose "RETREAT". Of course, don't choose dying enemies to
attack, instead heal them or don't use them. Have Angels/ Pixies to
gain EXP by casting spells.
12. Cast Power on the Hydras and don't get shock if they does about
400+ HP damage to a Mage unit. Same applies to Red Dragons/Phoenix/
Salamander for an Enchantress unit.
13. Having a hard time fighting against enemies at HARD difficulty
mode? Here is a trick to lure them. Make use of low levels
monsters such as Ghouls to force them to fight and the entire
troop will move towards you just like in the EASY MODE. It will
be better if the "sacrifice" is a flying-type such as Gryhons.
14. Always arrange your units within the Rune Area as the closer the
monsters are to the Rune Knight, the harder that they wouldn't be
able to capture. This makes Rune Knights such as Janfaddar of
Caerleon quite a weak leader.
15. Centaurs have a couple of weak points too. They can't cross
mountains and this applies to light units such as Unicorns. On the
other hand ground units, such as Dragons and Giants, can cross
forests at a faster rate compared to others. Water units can move a
lot faster on water terrain, compared to while they are on ground.
16. You will gain the most EXP upon the final-attacks. [the enemy is
being killed. Cador at Level 30 can earn you as much as 2893 Exp
where I saw my LV 1 Prince Lance to reach LV 5! So always dealt the
final blow for levelling up units.
17. Graphics glitch? Well, it seems to me a LV 1 ~3 Ghoul never hits a
Wyvern. It is too low for it. BTW, I have seen a Vampire Lord
misses two hits in a row when attacking a Lancer. If you stay in a
spot for two times and get two criticals. I would recommend to stay
there as there is a thing called graphics glitch in Brigandine.
Remember to place Battle Animation ON under Options menu or this
will not work.
18. Enemies will alway attack an unit whose strength is lower than it/
hers/his. Just make sure that you have at least 2 Unicorns at the
back row. Rocs/Mandrakes are a headaches as they could does
devastating damage along with status effects. So get at least one
Priest/Bishop/Cardinal along with 2 Unicorns. They are essential.
19. When arrange your units, assign the last spot to flying units.
Heavy units such as Hydras must be placed in front of all units.
Proceed in an orderly manner. If you haven't attack within 10 turns,
your units will automatically retreat. If you win a battle, you will
get a bonus 200 EXP. BTW, make use of Status screen regarding about
the movement range.
20. Here is a quick level-up tip. Just cast Halo on a unit. Next have a
Mage/Sorcerer/Druid/Dryst/Zemeckis cast a Power spell. Have that
unit kill off an unit and you will be astonished by the EXP gain!
21. For defending against mountain terrains such as Dilworth, make use
of Giants and flying monsters due to their mobility in such
terrains. Make use of Hydras/Mermans/Lizard Man in water terrains
for their mobility. Dragons/Mandrake/Rocs are great blockers for
their high HP. When enemy attacks, they normally choose a unit with
a higher Attacks to attack a unit, which has lower Attack stats.
22. Place Berserkers/Grapplers/Barbarians/Fighers/Rangers/Monk/
Cavaliers/Samurais in the front row. Most of them can't gain EXP
easily unless you have place them in the front row. They need to
combat to gain EXP. Of course, be sure to have healing units such
as Bishops and Unicorns to heal them. Bagdemagus [Iscalio], Kiloph
[Leonia], Luintail [Norgard], Palomides [Norgard], Shast [Caerleon]
are great examples.
23. Always place magic-type units, which are weak attackers, in the back
row. Good examples includes rulers such as Cai and Lyoneese. Their
attacks are quite low but in order to make use full use of their
powerful magic, place them in the back row. However, there are some
great magic users who are also great attackers. Examples include
Valkyries, Avengers, Shogun and Paladin. Rulers such as Lance,
Vaynard, Dryst and Zemeckis are also under this class.
24. Try to get at least one Fairy for each army. They are splendid as
they has the best support magic, React. This spell allows your units
to have 2 acts instead of one. Hence, use this to your advantage.
25. When training low level units, you must have AT LEAST ONE healing
units, so that the unit would not died off that easily before it
levels up. BTW, make use of Halo spell to gain levels up for high
level units. [As you see, secondary classes takes a longer time to
level up compared to low level units. Due to this reason, Priests
are still quite valuable as they are only single-digit level unit,
which has the Halo spell.

Strategies
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have any strategies, feel free to send in yours. I would be very
to happy to edit it and listed you in the credits section
1. Straight Line Defence
This is apparently is the MOST affective strategy in Brigandine.
Place those high-based HP monsters such as Dragons on the frontline
knights behind the line. Arrange these monsters in a line and they
would be able to aid each other. Have Unicorns as support units for
Heal, while have the rest do the attacking.
2. V-Shaped Defense
This is meant for defense purposes. Have your troops consists of
Dragons or Hydras, arranging them and form a V-shaped and place
Unicorns and Knights in the middle. This will enable to set your
enemies' in cross-fires with these creatures' breath weapon such
as Acid Breath. This method is more affective if the enemy use to
send troops attacking from different directions. While defending
Salisbury, I always uses an inverted V-shaped defense.
3. Golem Defense
Golem may be rather weak due to their crappy hit rate but they are
great defenders as they could protect your mages from harm. This
strategies works well for those knights with low Rune Power.
However, this is rather risky. Golems are great for fighting
against Rocs as due to their Golem Attributes. Could easily cured
with a heal spell. To make this strategy more effective, place your
Rune Knights inside the castle as it heals 100 HP each turn!
4. Rocs and Centaur Defense
This strategy is great. Place Rocs in the front row as due to their
high HP and their petrifying ability. Place Centaurs behind the
Rocs. Have your party consists of a mage, pirest and a scout or
archer, place them at the back. Have aleast 2 Unicorns at the back.
At the battlefield, concentrate your attacks on the Rune Knights
and this should works, but do expect serious injuries.
5. Twin-Genos and a Area-Heal
This strategy only works if you have the following:
1. Enchantresses Class
2. Bishop / Cardinal or the Phoneix
3. Mage Class
Have high HP units such as Hydras and Dragons in the front row and
the Rune Knights behind the line. If you use the Phoenix instead of
the Bishop / Cardinal, place them at the back row. As you are
surround, rip off your foe with twin-Genos and Heal all injuries
will an area-heal. Works well for Leonia.
6. Hand-to-hand combat
One strategy which I have discovered while playing Brigandine
recently. You can make use of combat hand-to-hand units such as
Fighter/Babarian/Ranger to be destructive. Just have they with a
couple of Centuars as their units. Have they work with secondary
class units/ or magic units such as Priest/Cleric/Mage/Enchantress.
Archers are also good. Just try to weaken a strong monster and have
Halo spell cast on the Rune Knights and they will level up fast and
strong!
7. Modified Warriors
Well, it is possible for the leaders to have a few exceptions
compared to others. Examples are a Priest whom has the ability to
cast Flame, Geno-Flame, Thunder and Power. It works well for
characters such as Millia [Caerleon], Filo and Sophia [Leonia],
Carlota and Brusom [New Almekia], etc. You need to get at least an
EXPERT status in the class.
Example:
BeauArte - LV 13 Bishop, ***
Have him acquired 2 more levels, which will give him five stars or
EXPERT in Bishop class. Next you can switch his classes to Mage.
Generally Priest and Mage has similar requirements. Next give him
5 level up in Mage class. You will be able to switch to the
Cardinal class along with additions of Flame, Power, Geno-Flame
and Thunder. Plus the elements does not change!
8. Hit-and-Run
For this to work, you need to get a Ninja [must get Shiraha to join
you in order to have this unit.] Next have units such as Centaurs,
[preferred High Centaurs], Rocs [or Phoenixs] plus a couple of
swooping units such as Wyvern. Attack with Centaurs/High Centaurs
first to lower the HP of a desired target. Next attack with the
swooping units and lastly Rocs. Next sent a Ninja with its
Shuriken Attack.
9. Lizards Attack!
For this to work, you need to have as many Lizard Man/Lizard Guards
as possible. They are good water surfers. If you have Lizard
Guards, you can set them up against low level Dragons. Place a
couple of Unicorns in the back row to replace the depleted HP.
10. The Great Trio
This is one of most deadly attackers. You need to have the
following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Class Elemental Orb
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Mage/Sorceror/Druid Red
Sorceress/Enchantress/Mystic Blue
Lector/Valkyrie/Cardinal White
Iscalio --> Camden, Iria [must reach another level], Victoria
Caerleon --> Dinadan, Janfaddar, Cierra/Lecarra/Cai
New Almekia --> Aphelia [you need to get her to the Lector status]/
Halley, Gilsus/Lance, Carlota
Leonia --> Chantail, Filo/Sophia, Paternus
Norgard --> Kirkmond, Vaynard/Elaine, Guinglain [must reach
Paladin]
Esgares --> Cador, Gish, Esmeree.
If you have them, you can destroy your enemy with Genos in a flick
of a second and while your attacking troops such as Centuars will
be able to finish them.
11. Meteor Doom and Area Heal [late in the game...]
This strategy is extremely deadly as it can wipe out the entire
army of your enemy leaving only a few survivors. To make this work,
you need to have the following:
1x Necromancer or 1x Witch [W/N]
1x Satan/Lilith or 1x LV 18 Loki [S/L/L]
1x Bishop/Cardinal or 1x Phoenix [B/C/P]
3x Fairies [F]
2x Unicorns [U]
xxx [W/N] [S/L/L] xxx
[B/C/P]
[U][F][F][F][U]
Note: xxx stands for other units.
First of all, place the Lilith/Satan/Loki and the Witch/Necromancer
in the front row. Meteor Doom also damages own allies which are
placed in front of the units
Once the enemy gets within the area, time to cast React spells on
the Necromancer and Bishops/Phoenix. Have the Necromancer cast
Meteor Doom, followed by Geno-Flame. Have the Bishop to cast Area-
Heal. And of course, the Lilith/Satan/Loki cast Meteor Doom. Two
Meteor Dooms can severely damage the entire army and the remaining
attacks can remove any troop. The Unicorns are there to remove
Petrification/Poison and restore lost HP. To make things better,
give the Necromancer/Witch a Tailsman.
12. Wrath of Magic
This strategy only works for Cai of Caerleon. But first of all, you
need to get him protected with high HP units. Next you need to have
the following monsters:
- Of course, you need to have Cai
- 1x Fairy / 1x Wizard for the React spell
- At least one good blocker [HP exceeds 600 and STR is around 78+]
- Tiamat/Salamander/Fafnir/Bahamut for its long breath weapon.
Get your army in range and try to hit at least one of the enemy of
the opposing army. The 5 hex breath weapon is deadly. Next once it
is Cai's turn and the enemy (Rune Knights) are within the range,
cast React on Cai. Have him cast Geno Thunder twice and the enemy's
HP will be reduced greatly sufficient to kill with a Rune Knight
or the great blocker. It works well on Cador and Zemeckis. But for
Zemeckis [due to his Tempest Bow and two red-orb], has at least two
healing units for Cai's backup [preferred Unicorns or Pegasus.]

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Iscalio: Daffy and Victoria Bagdemagus, Teath
Caerleon: Janfadar and Bilcock Cierra, Shast
Leonia: Langueborg and Chantail Isfras, Raizen,
Charlene
Norgard: Kirkmond and Dillard Faticia, Zerafin and
Ector
New Almekia: Loufal and Carlota Batercus, Adilicia
Esgares: Fiel and Ivan. Castor, Shred,
MelTorefas.
For alliance manners, if New Almekia defeat Norgard, you will not get
any new leaders if you played as Caerleon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special Notes!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Miguel can persuade Liguel/Castor to join Iscalio once they met in
combat! It have occured to me once while playing New Almekia. *Sob*,
There goes my Archer, Liguel...
- It seems that better Rune Knights can be gotten if you let enemies to
defeat them. But it does not work for most of the cases. For example,
Bagdemagus will not join Caerleon as Bagdemagus is not in good terms
with Cai.
- To get Schutlesis, you must launch the first attack at Esgares. I have
also discovered that the highest levels [the sum of the levels of Rune
Knights] will have their attack launched first.
- To get Luintail, you must win the first combat (Norgard) only.
- To get Lance to King Status, you must acquired Logres. As that's the
place where the commodation of King took place.

List of Classes
========================================================================
Before I begin this section, I think there are several important things
to take note of and here they are:
1. When a character gains a total of 5 stars for that particular class
and they reached the EXPERT! status, which will result all magic and
skills permanently remain in them, no matter what class they have
changed to. Even before you have change the class before reaching
EXPERT!, the stars will remain. This explains why a Priest unit can
cast Mage's magic.
2. Note that you can only choose an one-way path. For example, a Mage
can be promoted to a Druid or Sorcerer and you can only choose one
of them and can't change back to former class and will not be able
to the other class.
3. When you reach higher levels, and the maximum is Level 30 and you
can advance to the secondary classes or the final classes, provided
that you has attained an EXPERT in the lower classes. The EXP
requirement is rather a lot in higher levels. For example, you need
about 5000+ EXP to gain a star for Paladin in Level 28!
4. Since that you can go up to Level 30, and each star requires a level
and so it's rather a waste to remain in that particular class. For
example, if you have reached Level 5, so that you can changed to a
Cavalier/Berserker or a Sorcerer/Druid.
5. Rulers such as Cai, Vaynard, Zemeckis and Lyoneese cannot changed
to any other classes except Prince Lance and Dryst.
6. Ninjas can't advance to Ninja Master unless Shiraha has did so. [
well you will not see any stars to prove the level.]
For the case of Lance, you need to defeat the Esgares Empire and Lance
will promote from Prince to King and he will acquire Geno-Flame in
addition to his normal attributes. PS: Must accquired Logres.
For the case of Dryst, you need to have Dryst reached Level 30 and he
will declare himself as Super Tyrant and gain extra spells and boosted
abilities. Now for the list of abbreviations used in this FAQ.

_____
/ 5.2 \_________________________________________________________________
========================================================================
Female Units
========================================================================
Before I begin with the list, here is a flow chart to illustrate the
list of classes for the females.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLOWCHART OF CLASSES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scout ================ Archer ===================== Artemis
|| |
|| ================= Lancer ===================== Valkyrie
||
Enchantress =========== Sorceress =================== Witch
|| |
|| =============== Mystic ====================== Sage
|| |
Cleric ================ Lector ====================== Saint
*Notes*
- Once a Scout has reached EXPERT!, she can change to either an Archer
or Lancer. If you have select the Archer class, the unit can't change
to the Lancer class or the Scout Class.
- The Mystic Class is a special class as either an EXPERT Enchantress or
EXPERT Cleric can change into this class. But once the unit can change
into Mystic, you can't convert it back to the Sorceress/Witch/Lector/
Saint/Enchantress/Cleric Class. The only class that you can get is the
Sage Class or the Scout --> Archer/Lancer --> Artemis/Valkyrie tree-
line
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEMALE PRIMARY CLASSES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The beginning classes of the female units. Most of Rune Knights started
with the following classes. You can advance them further through gaining
EXP.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scout [*]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: STR 55 and above
Attacks: Short Bow, 2 hex.
Twin Shot, 2 hex. [C]
Elemental: Nil
Class: Scouts
The basic attacking class of the femine Rune Knights. Works like the
Centaurs except no elements. They become really powerful once they
have attained intermediate levels.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enchantress [*]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: INT 60 and above
Attacks: Slash Whip
Magic: Frost, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Geno-Frost, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A]
Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex.
Charm, MPC: 110, 2 hex.
Elementals: 1 Blue
Class: Enchantresses
This unit is quite good for its arsenal of blue magic, which is great
against red element monsters. Also, it is extremely weak against red
element creatures. Enchantress have the similar requirements as Clerics
and it's more offense in nature. Charm is rather a good spell as it
allows you to get enemies to your side.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cleric [*]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: INT 60 and above
Attacks: Pilgrim Rod
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex.
Elementals: 1 White
Class: Clerics
This female unit is only healing unit in the primary class. I would
rather place them in the back-court of the troops. They worked like
Unicorns. Halo spell is quite good as it could double the EXP gain for
the enemy being hit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEMALE SECONDARY CLASSES [Level 10+]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get this unit from primary units, just go to Organise menu and select
Class sub-menu. You need to gain the requirements stated at the
corresponding classes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Archer [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Scout, Level 10+
Attacks: Middle Bow, 3 hex.
Triple Shot, 3 hex. [C]
Magic: Accel, MPC: 59, 3 hex.
Paralyze, MPC: 77, 3 hex.
Silent, MPC: 50, 4 hex.
Elementals: 1 Green
Class: Scouts
Archers have carried a green element and it has a longer, shooting
range. It has also an range of green magic. It is a better High Centuar
along with an range of green magic. Archers are deadly when accompanied
by High Centuars/Centuars.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lancer [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Scout, Level 10+
Attacks: Spear
Mirage Spear [C]
Spear Throw, 2 hex. Unable to use after movement.
Magic: Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex.
Class: Lancers
Spear Throw can't be used after movement. Lancers are quite good
attackers. It has a long range attacks of a Centuar, plus Fog spells
which is great against low agility monsters such as Dragons and Golems/
Stone Golems/Bronze Golems.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorceress [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Enchantress, Level 10+
Attacks: Slash Whip
Magic: Frost, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Geno-Frost, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A]
Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex.
Charm, MPC: 110, 2 hex.
Venom, MPC: 45, 3 hex
Dimension, MPC: 83, 4 hex.
Fall Berg, MPC: 135, 2 hex.
Elementals: 1 Blue, 1 Black.
Class: Enchantresses
Sorceress is a better Enchantress and is combination of a Demon and an
Enchantress. Fall Berg is very damaging even against the fiery
Salamander. BTW, to defeat Zemeckis/Dryst, you really need this spell.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mystic [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Enchantress, EXPERT Clerics, Level 10+
Attacks: Force
Magic: Frost, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Geno-Frost, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A]
Flight, MPC: 90, 3 hex.
Charm, MPC: 110, 2 hex.
Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex.
Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex.
Elementals: 1 Blue, 1 White
Class: Mystics
Notes: This is an odd class, once change into a Mystic, you
can no longer changes back to Enchantresses or
Clerics Classes except for Scouts Class. The Mystic
could only change to the Sage Class.
Mystics is a combination of Enchantress and Clerics which provides
white and blue element magic. Flight is a good spells when you are
battling in mountainous regions such as Dilworth and water battlefields
such as Lidney. It is an attack-and-support unit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lector [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Cleric, Level 10+
Attacks: Pilgrim Rod
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex.
Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex.
Area Heal, MPC: 147, 2 hex. [A]
Holy Word, MPC: 183, 4 hex. [A]
Elementals: 2 White
Class: Clerics
Quite a good support unit and it is a better Arch Angel with Area Heal.
Lectors have low attacking power. Holy Word is extremely damaging plus
a 4 hex. range against all enemies. I myself preferred Lectors over
Bishops as they have Holy Word which is a much better spell compared to
Divine Ray.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEMALE FINAL CLASSES [Level 20+]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, you will see "UP" appearing at the lower corner of the icon
representing the unit. Of course, these units requires an intensive
amount of EXP.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Valkyrie [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Lancer, Level 20
Attacks: Spear
Mirage Spear [C]
Spear Throw, 3 hex. Unable to use it after movement.
Magic: Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex.
Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Holy Word, MPC: 183, 4 hex. [A]
Elementals: 2 White, 1 Blue
Class: Lancer
Valkyrie is really a strong unit with Holy Word and healing magic. But
most Valkyries have low MP. This may cause a problems. In fact, Iria is
one good example. They are extremely good attackers. The Spear Throw
has a good hit rate and you can't execute it after movement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artemis [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Archer, Level 20+
Attacks: Long Bow, 4 hex.
Marvellous Shot, 4 hex. [C]
Magic: Accel, MPC: 59, 3 hex.
Paralyze, MPC: 77, 3 hex.
Silent, MPC: 50, 4 hex.
Protect, MPC: 61, 4 hex.
Solid, MPC: 77, 3 hex.
React, MPC: 126, 2 hex.
Elemental: 2 Green
Class: Scouts
With the entire list of green magic and a whooping 4 hex. attack range,
this unit can be the most damaging offensive units of all female attack
troops. Extremely dangerous when accompanied by High Centuars. The
problem lies in the game is that only Eniede [Esgares] and Brangien
[Norgard] has the most chances to reach this class.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Witch [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Sorceress, Level 20+
Attacks: Slash Whip
Magic: Frost, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Geno-Frost, MPC: 166, 3 hex.
Charm, MPC: 110, 2 hex.
Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex.
Fall Berg, MPC: 135, 2 hex.
Venom, MPC: 45, 3 hex.
Curse, MPC: 108, 2 hex.
Meteor Doom, MPC: 255, 3 hex. [2 hex A]
Flight, MPC: 90, 3 hex.
Elemental: 2 Black, 1 Blue
Class: Enchantresses
An advanced unit with a list of magic and acquired Meteor Doom. The
Witch is the strongest of all Enchantress classes. It has a wide range
of blasting magic spells. Meteor Doom also does damage to own units. So
be careful when to use it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sage [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Mystic, Level 20+
Attacks: Force
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex.
Frost, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Geno-Frost, MPC: 166, 3 hex.
Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex.
Charm, MPC: 110, 2 hex.
Flight, MPC: 90, 3 hex.
Area Heal, MPC: 147, 2 hex.
Exa-Blast, MPC: 152, 2 hex.
Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex.
Elementals: 1 White, 1 Blue, 1 Red
Class: Mystics
A wide range of the three elements: red, blue and white. The Sage class
is the best class of the Mystics with powerful magic. Exa-Blast is the
best spell after the Geno-Thunder, however it attacks only a single
enemy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saint [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Lector, Level 20+
Attacks: Pilgrim Rod
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex.
Area Heal, MPC: 147, 2 hex.
Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex.
Holy Word, MPC: 183, 4 hex.
Divine Ray, MPC: 183, 2 hex.
Elementals: 3 White
Class: Clerics
The equivalent of Arch Angels with additons of Area Heal. The Saint is
actually a better Lector. The Saint has only gotten an additional spell
compared to Lectors and that's Divine Ray.

* Ninja is a special class, avalible if you have Shiraha in your
country. You must get Level 10 and above. A Ninja can be promoted
to a Ninja Master. [This can only be done once you have a Shiraha
reaches the Ninja Master status]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MALE PRIMARY CLASSES
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here you will find the list of male, primary classes. These units are
typically the units that they start from.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Priest [*]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: INT 60 and above
Attack: Clergy Mace
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex.
Elemental: 1 White
Class: Priests
The basic healing unit of male primary troops. Priests have aweful
attacking power but it can be considered as an average support class.
But the effect will be better when it has acquired the Bishop Class.
In short, Priests just work like Unicorns.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fighter [*]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: STR 60 and above
Attacks: Fighter Blade
Power Strike [C]
Elemental: Nil
Class: Fighters
I myself don't use Fighters quite often, but they can reached the
Cavalier class with Heal magic. Fighters are quite good combat as they
seldom misses attack. So let them deal the finishing blow. Fighter
blades are great weapons. So use it to your advantage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barbarian [*]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: STR 65 and above
Attacks: Fury Axe
Axe Rush [C]
Elemental: Nil
Class: Barbarians
Barbarians have poweful attacks but they can't heal themselves. But
once they reach the Berserker which has a regeneration of HP, this
downside can be removed. Barbarians are strong attackers. One key stuff
about Barbarians is that they has high attack stats. They are even more
deadly once they reached the Berserker class.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ranger [*]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: STR 55, AGI 60
Attacks: Brave Knuckle
Crash Beat [C]
Elemental: Nil
Class: Rangers
Ranger units are quite agile and strong in attacks, plus they seldom
misses their attacks. Rangers have long movement range compared to
Barbarians. Rangers are great units while battling in mountainous
regions or regions where movement is very restraint. Rangers can go into
forests for their movement which helps to increase evasion by 15%!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mage [*]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: INT 60
Attacks: Sorcery Staff
Magic: Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A]
Thunder, MPC: 91, 3 hex.
Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex.
Elemental: 1 Red
Class: Mages
The only magic attacking class of the male units. Mages have weak
attacks and it is better to keep them at the back area of units. Mages
needed to be guarded. Power spell can be extremely dangerous when
being cast on offensive troops such as Salamanders.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECONDARY LEVEL CLASSES [Level 10+ Units]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Same as the female units, just get the unit to LV 10 and choose "Class"
to switch to the secondary class. Secondary units have more attacks and
stronger moves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bishop [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Priest
Attacks: Clergy Mace
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Area Heal, MPC: 147, 2 hex. [A]
Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex.
Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex.
Divine Ray, MPC: 112, 2 hex.
Elemental: 2 White
Class: Priests
Bishops, in my opinion, are the second best support units until they
have attained the Cardinal status. [Cardinals will take a long time.].
Their Area Heal makes them destructive as it does an area effect healing
on the entire area. Bishops are quite good as they have acquired Divine
Ray and Halo spell. I would preferred to have Lectors. But Bishops are
considered to be great attackers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cavalier [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Fighter, EXPERT Barbarian
Attacks: Knight Sword
Cross Cutter [C]
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Elemental: 1 White
Class: Armoured Knights
Cavaliers are good attackers but they are quite weak as they can only
combat hand-to-hand. But they can be dangerous once they have proceed to
the third class, Paladin. Their attacks seldom misses even if their
levels are low, hence making them the best units for finishing off
dying units. Cavaliers are pretty weak against two orbs black units such
as Demons. So keep them off from Demons.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorcerer [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Mage
Attacks: Sorcery Staff
Magic: Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex.
Thunder, MPC: 91, 3 hex.
Exa-Blast, MPC: 152, 2 hex.
Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex.
Frost, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex.
Elemental: Blue-Red
An advanced version of the Mage, but with additional spells such as
Exa-Blast and blue magic. Well, a Sorcerer will works fine against most
countries whereas Druid is extremely destructive for Leonia. As most of
the Leonia units are white-element based. [You can change the elemental
if you want, but the computer normally doesn't]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ninja [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: Shiraha in your country, STR 60, AGI 70
Attacks: Kunai
Illusion [C]
Shuriken, 2 hex. able to use after movement.
Skill: Hit and Away
Magic: Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex.
Accel, MPC: 59, 3 hex.
Paralyze, MPC: 77, 3 hex.
Elemental: Black, Green
Class: Ninjas
Ninjas are great units as they are able to use a 2 hex. range attack
weapons. Even if he attacks in short range, it can also does a Hit and
away tactic. Quite a decent sniper as the male version of Archers. You
need to Shiraha to get Ninja Master, otherwise you can't gain any stars!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monk [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Priest
Attacks: Debar Knuckle, may cause paralysis
Prana Burst [C]
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex.
Elemental: 1 white
Class: Rangers
Same as Cavaliers except these units have Cure spells. They could use
Prana Burst quite often while their HP are low. The basic attack which
could cause paralysis is extremely good. But it is quite rare for that
to occur. Compared with a Grappler, Monks has lower attacks but at the
same time, it is quite a good support unit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Druid [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Mage
Attacks: Sorcery Staff
Magic: Venom, MPC: 45, 3 hex.
Curse, MPC: 108, 2 hex.
Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex.
Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex.
Thunder, MPC: 91, 3 hex.
Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex.
Elemental: Red, Black
Class: Mages
Druid are great units against countries such as Leonia. Camden could
nearly eliminate any characters in Leonia. Druids has a mixture of red
magic such as the basic mage's spells along with black magic. It is
a mixture of Demon and Mage [with an additional of Weakness spell]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grappler [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Ranger
Attacks: Brave Knuckle
Crash Beat [C]
Skills: Critical + 5 %
Elemental: Nil
Class: Rangers
One bad downfall for Grapplers is that it does not have magic. Almost
all characters have at least 70 MP which is sufficient for a Heal magic.
Grapplers are good units as it could travel across mountains. Grapplers
has one advantage over other units is its versatile mobility. It moves
rather fast.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Samurai [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Barbarian, EXPERT Fighter [higher in DEF]
Attacks: Katana Blade
Shadow Moon [C]
Special: Iai Slash, MPC: 40, 2 hex.
Skills: Hit rate +10%
Elemental: Nil
Class: Samurais
Deadly... compared to Cavaliers. It has higher defense, along with Iai
Slash which can does a minimum damage of 100 for a LV 10 Samurai. But
the weapons are quite rare compared to the Cavaliers. But if an unit
can reach this class, choose this one instead of Cavaliers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Berserker [**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Barbarian, EXPERT Fighter
Attacks: Fury Axe
Axe Rush [C]
Skill: HP Recovery 5 %
Elemental: 1 Black
Class: Barbarian
Another deadly unit. Berserkers work fine against white units [such as
Angels, Unicorns, Priest and Clerics] but they can be a downfall as they
only exceed in attacks. But armed with a good hit rate and a HP recovery
of 5%, this unit can easily eliminate dying enemies in one blow.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINAL CLASS [Level 20+ Units]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Same applies to the female units, you will see an "UP" found near the
character. But remember that it is kinda difficult to have all units to
reach LV 20.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Avenger [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Berserker
Attacks: Knight Sword
Genocide [C]
Magic: Curse, MPC: 108, 2 hex.
Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex.
Skill: HP Recovery 5 %
Elemental: 2 Black
Class: Armoured Knights
Same as Berserker but gained black magic. Avenger are great units for
their strong attacks. [BTW, their attacks are equalvent of a secondary
monster unit.] Keep them away from Angels as the Divine Ray can easily
kill this unit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paladin [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Cavalier
Attacks: Knight Sword
Justice Cutter [C]
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex.
Holy Word, MPC: 183, 4 hex. [A]
Elemental: 2 White
Class: Armoured Knights
Paladin is better-off compared to Avenger. Not only it has healing
magic, it also acquires Holy Word and most Paladins could use this once
they have reached LV 20. Good support units plus they does similar
damage compared to monsters. However, Paladin is extremely hard to
obtain.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shogun [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Samurai
Attacks: Katana Blade
Shadow Moon [C]
Special: Iai Slash, MPC: 45, 3 hex.
Skills: Hit + 20%
Class: Samurais
With a skill of Hit +20% and an Iai Slash of 3 hex, this unit is more
devastating compared to Paladin or Avenger. [this probably explains why
Layoneil is always stronger than Helrato ^_^]. With a cheap MP cost of
45, you can does at least 2 Iai Slashs in one combat at LV 20. Shoguns
are rather hard to get as there are too little Samurais...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cardinal [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Bishop
Attacks: Clergy Mace
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Area Heal, MPC: 147, 2 hex. [A]
Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex.
Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex.
Divine Ray, MPC: 112, 2 hex.
Holy Word, MPC: 183, 4 hex. [A]
Flight, MPC: 90, 3 hex.
Charm, MPC: 110, 2 hex.
Elemental: 2 White, 1 Blue
Class: Priests
A better Bishop with Divine Ray and Holy Word. Cardinals are extremely
difficult to get but they really worth it. Great leaders such as Ulster,
BeauArte, Roadbull, Coel and Asmit has really the chance of getting to
Cardinal. If you have defeat Esgares early, and you can recruit Soleil
which has also a high probability of getting to Cardinal Class. Of
course, Soleil will be a better opinion as he has acquired high Rune
Power.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Necromancer [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Druid
Attacks: Sorcery Staff
Magic: Venom, MPC: 45, 3 hex.
Meteor Doom, MPC: 255, 3 hex. [A]{affect allies]
Curse, MPC: 108, 2 hex.
Dimension, MPC: 83, 4 hex.
Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex.
Necro Rebirth, MPC: 97, 1 hex.
Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A]
Thunder, MPC: 91, 3 hex.
Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex.
Elemental: 2 Black, 1 Red
Class: Mages
Nothing much to say as it is dangerous. Necromancer takes time and only
a few characters have the chance. It has most deadly black magic,
Meteor Doom plus the Necro Rebirth.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guardian [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Monk
Attacks: Debar Knuckle, causes Paralysis
Ultra Combo [C]
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Area Heal, MPC: 147, 2 hex. [A]
Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex.
Elemental: 2 white
Class: Rangers
Guardian has been a combination of Monk and Bishops. This makes them a
better opinion compared to Grappler. But they are quite hard to get as
you need to gain a lot of experience. Guardians are great attackers and
great support units.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Champion [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Grappler
Attacks: Brave Knuckle
Ultra Combo [C]
Skill: Critical Rate + 10%
Elemental: Nil
Class: Rangers
Champion is rather a rare class, but if a skill of Critical rate of 10%,
plus its versatile range in movement, Champion are great attackers.
Champion can does a lot of damage and will not be effected by
elementals.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ninja Master [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Ninja
Attacks: Kunai
Illusion [C]
Shuriken, 3 hex. able use after movement.
Skills: Hit and Away
Magic: Dimension, MPC: 88, 4 hex.
Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex.
Accel, MPC: 59, 3 hex.
Protect, MPC: 61, 4 hex.
Paralyze, MPC: 77, 3 hex.
Solid, MPC: 85, 3 hex.
Silent, MPC: 56, 4 hex.
Class: Ninjas
Imagine a High Centuar-Ninja-Nightmare combination.. That's made a
Ninja Master. It is extremely dangerous as it has acquire Accel spell
which makes your troops move in order easily. Ninja Master is a deadly
sniper as they can eliminate any leader within a couple of turns along
with High Centuars/Archers. I think only Shiraha can reached this class.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wizard [***]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: EXPERT Sorcerer
Attacks: Sorcery Staff
Magic: Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A]
Thunder, MPC: 91, 3 hex.
Geno-Thunder, MPC: 193, 3 hex. [A, 2 hex.]
Geno-Frost, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A]
React, MPC: 126, 2 hex.
Exa-Blast, MPC: 152, 2 hex.
Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex.
Frost, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex.
Elementals: Red, Blue, Green
Class: Mages
Wizard unit is a better unit with an range of magic. The React spell is
extremely useful if you want to see the rocking Salamander does its turn
again. Plus it's Exa-Blast and Geno-Thunder makes it deadly. Zemeckis
is much stronger due to its Archery ability along with the Geno-Thunder.
Geno-Thunder is great as it allows you to set your targets.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

/ 5.4 \_________________________________________________________________
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special Classes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This classes only applies to certain Rune Knights, or more specific,
this applies to the ruler of the kingdom.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prince
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: Only Lance begin with this class. [New Almekia]
Attack: Twin Blade
Wing Slash [C]
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Elementals: n/a
Class: Prince
Lance is quite weak and only acquires two magic, Flame and Heal. Give
him some training and he will become stronger. His Wing Slash can does
a critical amount of damage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
King
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: Lance can get to this class, once he acquired Logres upon
defeating Esgares.
Attack: Twin Blade
Wing Slash [C]
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A]
Elementals: 1 Red
Class: Prince
The class is rather hard to get. He has acquired Geno-Flame and becomes
stronger once he has attained higher levels. You must conquer Logres
upon defeating Esgares.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warlock
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirments: Only Cai of Caerleon begins with this class.
Attack: Word of Magic
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Frost, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Thunder, MPC: 91, 3 hex.
Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A]
Geno-Frost, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A]
Geno-Thunder, MPC: 193, 3 hex. [2 hex. A]
Exa-Blast, MPC: 152, 2 hex.
Flight, MPC: 90, 3 hex.
Silent, MPC: 56, 4 hex.
Elementals: 1 Red, 1 Blue, 1 Green
Class: Warlock
A guy acquired with a huge list of magic. The Warlock is seems like a
combination of a Wizard Class and a couple of green magic. Cai is quite
weak against Red Dragons/Hydras/Phoenix/Lizard Guard, therefore keep
him away from them. [He has an elemental disadvantage against units]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emperor
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirments: Only Zemeckis of Esgares begins with this class.
Attack: Tempest Bow, 3 hex.
Lightning Bow, 3 hex. [C]
Magic: Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex.
Geno-Thunder, MPC: 193, 3 hex. [2 hex. A]
Elementals: 2 Red
Class: Emperor
Zemeckis is really powerful as he has long range attacks, plus a 2 red
elemental orb, which makes he compete with Hydras and blue elementals
creatures farely. Don't leave Enchantress freely for him to target at..
But the Emperor has also a fear for a particular spell, the Fall Berg.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Death Knight
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: Only Cador of Esgares begins with this class
Attack: Death Bringer
Dolorous Stroke [C]
Magic: Curse, MPC: 108, 3 hex.
Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A]
Elementals: 2 Black, Red
Class: Death Knight
Cador is not a guy to messed up with. The only class that can have an
edge over this class is the Valkryie. [strange huh? Halley is also in
the Valkryie class..]. Cador's Dolorous Stroke can causes as much as
400 against an Angel unit. [instant dead attack against low levels
Angels.]. But units with Holy Word such as Dinadan can also stand a par
against it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tryant
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirments: Only Dryst of Iscalio starts with this class.
Attack: Vandal Scythe
Dark Spiral [C]
Magic: Curse, MPC: 108, 3 hex.
Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex.
Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex.
Elementals: 1 Black, 1 Red
Class: Tryant.
The Tryant is a combination of Mage-Demo with an exception of certain
skills. But it can be quite dangerous against white and blue units.
Dryst's attack is quite strong but unforunately he does not have
area-spells unlike other rulers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Super Tryant
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: Only avaliable when Dryst have acquired Level 30.
Attack: Deluxe Scythe
Gorgeous Spiral [C]
Magic: Meteor Doom, MPC: 255, 3 hex. [2 hex. A]
Curse, MPC: 108, 3 hex.
Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex.
Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex.
Elementals: 1 Black, 1 Red
Class: Tryant
Super Tryant really takes a long time to acquired. But with Meteor Doom
acquired, this monster can does tons of serious damage to all foes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Queen
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: Only Lyonesse of Leonia starts with this class.
Attack: Liath-Fail
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Area Heal, MPC: 147, 2 hex. [A]
Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex.
Divine Ray, MPC: 112, 2 hex.
Holy Word, MPC: 183, 4 hex. [A]
Charm, MPC: 110, 2 hex.
Protect, MPC: 61, 4 hex.
Elementals: 2 White
Class: Queen
Queen is really a good white elemental class. The Queen has acquired
Holy Word, which is pretty damaging against all other classes. The Queen
has area-heal which makes a good support unit too.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lord
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: Only Vaynard of Norgard starts with this class
Attack: Caladbog
Wolf Fang [C]
Magic: Frost, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Geno-Frost, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A]
Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex.
Elementals: 1 Blue
Class: Lord
The Lord class is quite weak and as it will withstand a huge damage
while in combating against red element units such as Dragons and Giants.
The best is to place this unit far from the combating area against
Dragons. Have him to fight against dying Dragons.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Claimer
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements: Only Bulnoil starts off with this class.
Attack: Endless Seeker
Magic: Venom, MPC: 45, 3 hex.
Meteor Doom, MPC: 255, 3 hex.
Curse, MPC: 108, 2 hex.
Dimension, MPC: 83, 4 hex.
Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex.
Necro Rebirth, MPC: 97, 1 hex.
Geno-Thunder, MPC: 193, 3 hex. [1 hex. A]
Exa-Blast, MPC: 152, 2 hex.
Fall Berg, MPC: 135, 2 hex.
Solid, MPC: 85, 3 hex.
Elemental: n/a
Class: Claimer
A secret class and only Bulnoil started off with this class. He is very
dangerous as he has Meteor Doom/Curse [works well against Lucifer],
Geno-Thunder/Exa-Blast [works well against Tiamats], Fall Berg [works
well against Salamanders, Fafnirs]. I guess it will takes sometime to
defeat this unit. Bulnoil is extremely tough....

========================================================================
The Monster List
========================================================================
This list consist of the elementals, Rune Cost, Mana Cost, requirements
and my personal comments. Feel free to send your comments if you have
one. For your convience, I have arranged in order of their Rune Cost.
I have also added their Upkeep and Movement Range. Before I begin with
the explanations on various factors, here are some notes on the evasion
and hit rate:
Water units get a low-down on evasion rate when it is on land, ranging
from 10% ~ 25%
All units gets an increase in evasion rate when it is forests but
low-down on hit rate besides Mandrake and Man-Eater
Water units get a rise on hit rate and evasion when it is placed on
water.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Elements carries a great importance as it effects the amount of
damage that the unit will does to the units with an exposing units.
--------------------------------
Colour Symbol
--------------------------------
Black Evil
White Holy
Red Fire
Blue Water/Ice
Green Earth
n/a Neutral
Units that carries a black elemental orb will receive more damage from
white elemental units and also dealt more damage on white elemental
units. Red elemental units are weaker compared to Blue elemental units.
Green elemental units does more damage to flying units.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attacks
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have only included the name of the attack. As for describing them, I
will not be doing it as it will be unnecessary/ irrelevant. Critcial
attacks will be excuted when the units are facing death. Some critical
attacks does some additional damage such as poison, charm, petrify and
paralyze.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rune Cost
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The amount of Rune need to have this unit under the control of the Rune
Knight. If the total amount of monsters' Rune Costs being added up,
exceeds the Rune Power of that Rune Knight, you need to remove some
units. As monsters approaches to secondary classes, you need to have
more Rune Power.
Notes:
- If you have equipped a Rune Knight an accessory/equipment that boosts
the Rune Power, you can't disarm the equipment if the Rune Knight's
Rune Power does not meet with the required Rune Power without
equipment. Sounds confusing huh? Below is an example:
Vaynard has a Rune Power of 332. If you have equipped him with a
Solomon's Ring, an additional of 30 Rune Power, therefore Vaynard has
a total of 362 Rune Power. If he has 4 dragons [75 x 4] and a Roc [60],
it will occupy 360 of 362. Now you can't unequipped the accessory, as
Vaynard's Rune Power 332 [without the accessory] can't meet up with the
required 360.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mana
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mana is the currency used in the game. To get Mana, you can get it from
the castles for the next organize phrase. The more castles you have, the
faster the amount of income you will have. Hence, go for conquests. Mana
allows you to summon monsters. You can summoned monsters from castles
provided that there is at least a Rune Knight [it does not matter where
it exceeds the total Rune Power for all Rune Knight(s)]. Not all castles
can summoned a certain monster. For example, Sendon does not allows you
to summon Dragons whereas Flogeru allows you to do so. Refer to castles
breakdown under every rulers walkthrough. However, you can't summon
secondary-class/ teritary-class monsters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Type
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are typically several types of movement-based monsters. They are:
(1) Slithering Type

water. Shoal Type monsters can't cross mountains.

hexes on road. It is quite slow moving on water as it moves only 1 hex

Primary Monster Units Bestiary [Level 1+, *]
========================================================================
Primary units can be obtained from quests and summoning. Sometimes you
can get them when someone has joined your country [For example, Dogal]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ghoul
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 Black
Attacks: Necro Eater
Comments: Cheap and good attacker. Low Rune Cost makes it
affective. An ideal monster which can be use to lure
enemies. Level very fast. Medium MOV range.
Rune Cost: 15 Mana: 60
Movement: 4-6 (Land Type)
Upkeep: 6
Tips:
As they are cheap and relative easy to get. But the key weakness is
strength. You can make use of them to support training Rune Knights as
to weaken the enemy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
G-Scorpion
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 Red
Attacks: Poison Tail, may poisoned the enemy
Comments: Low HP is the main weakness. But Poison Tail can be
dangerous as it cause poison [removes HP slowly].
This may forced healing parties to waste their MP on
Cure. Low MOV range.
Rune Cost: 20 Mana: 100
Movement: 3-5 (Slithering Type)
Upkeep: 10
Tips:
Guard Scorpion's key weakness lies in this extremely low HP. But its
Poison tail could poison an enemy unit. Target them on dangress but
protect them from harm. Poison Tail is pretty effective against Dragons.
Don't place it in front of Hydras as it will be an easy target for the
Hydras.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jinn
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: Nil
Special: Air Storm, MPC: 40, 2 hex.
Comments: Does a fair amount of damage with Air Storm. Basic
attack requires MP. Can't counterattack. The enemy
can't counter even it is a hand-to-hand combat.
Rune Cost: 30 Mana: 120
Movement: 5-5 (Low Sky Type)
Upkeep: 12
Tips:
You can still use the Air Storm after movement. Great sniper as enemy
can't counterattack its Air storm. But Air Storm requires MP, hence move
it away once a Silent spell is being cast on it or it is low on MP.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pixie
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 Green
Attacks: Stick Tap
Leave me be! [C]
Magic: Protect, MPC: 61, 4 hex.
Silent, MPC: 50, 4 hex.
Comments: Good as prevent Mages from using magic by using
Silent. Low attacking power make it useless in
combat, but a good support team.
Rune Cost: 30 Mana: 120
Movement: 5-5 (Low Sky Type)
Upkeep: 12
Tips:
Pixies' Silent Spell has a low hit rate and it tends to fail especially
on high level enemies. Keep on cast Protect [a barrier] which helps
to reduce damage. Once it is around level 7, its Silent spell can be
quite effective at most times.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merman
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 Blue
Attacks: Splash Arch
Skills: Aqua Recovery 5%, Aqua Attack + 20%
Comments: Strictly an aquatic force. Does higher amount of
damage in water and recovers HP in water. Moves more
faster in water than on land.
Rune Cost: 25 Mana: 120
Movement: 3-6 (Water Type)
Upkeep: 12
Tips:
Even though is an aquatic unit, it's HP, ATK and DEF is still quite
reasonable. Use them to defend castles such as Lidney-Jukes. Merman's
attack can be raised by 20% while on water which makes them a killer
weapon on aquatic battlefields.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lizard Man
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 Blue
Attacks: Lefty Axe, high hit and critical rate.
Comments: High critical and hit rate makes this monster a
valuble one. Good on marine battlefields and land.
Rune Cost: 30 Mana: 140
Movement: 4-4 (Shoal Type)
Upkeep: 14
Tips:
Believe it or not, this unit is key unit to weaken Dragons. It has high
hit rate and critical rate and seldoms misses its attacks. It is pretty
effective against low AGI monsters and this includes low level Dragons.
It has a blue elemental orb, which is the opposing element against the
Dragons. You can use this if you don't have Hydras.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hellhound
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 Black
Attacks: Hell Fang
Special: Hell Fire, MPC: 40, 2 hex.
Skill: Hit and Away
Comments: Levels up fast. Still can move after attacking. Use
in conjuction with Halo spell.
Rune Cost: 35 Mana: 140
Movement: 5-7 (Land Type)
Upkeep: 18
Tips:
Hellhounds are high agile creatures, which makes them deadly against
Golems. It's Hell Fire can easily destroy units plus it has the hit and
away skill.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Centaur
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 Green
Attacks: Hunter Shot, 2 hex. useable after movement
Comments: Good and decent sniper. Attacking from long range
enables opponent to unable to counterattack, but low
attacking power.
Rune Cost: 35 Mana: 160
Movement: 6-6 (Horse Type)
Upkeep: 16
Tips:
Centaurs are pretty weak against high level enemies and the attack is
quite weak in early stages. Upon reaching level 6 or 7, its Hunter Shot
becomes more effective and deadly. But its movement will be slowed down
in aquatic and mountainous battlefields. Use its as sniper to lower the
HP of target Rune Knights and have Giants/Wyverns/Gryhons/Dragons for
the kill.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unicorn
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 White
Attacks: Horn Attack
Back Kick [C]
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex.
Comments: Cheap and good support for Heal and Cure. Place them
in the back row and recovers allies lost HP.
Rune Cost: 40 Mana: 220
Movement: 6-6 (Horse Type)
Upkeep: 22
Tips:
Unicorns has good healing magic and great backup support. It is even
better as compared to Angels. It's Cure spell allows you to recover
petrified units [due to Rocs] and poisoned units [due to G-Scorpions].
It's Back Kick can move an enemy unit 1 hex away from it. The enemy will
not be able to counter-attack after this had happened.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mandrake
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 Green
Attacks: Tentacle Snap, may causes Paralysis
Comments: High HP for a good blocker, could paralyze opponent
with it's Tentacle Snap, but low attacking power.
Rune Cost: 35 Mana: 220
Movement: 3-6 (Forest Type)
Upkeep: 20
Tips:
It's Tentacle Snap is pretty effective against bird-type units such as
Gryhons/Rocs and it could paralyze them causing them unable to
counter-attack. Mandrakes has high mobility in mountainous regions such
as Dilworth. It's hit rate and evasion stats raises by 15% where it is
placed in the forest. It moves at 6 hexes while within forests.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clay Golem
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: Nil
Attacks: Golem Punch
Special: Golem Attributes
Comments: High in defense, makes it a great blocker. But low
AGI causes it to misses it's attack. Can't petrify,
paralyzed, silent or poisoned. Note that when a Fog
spell is being cast on it, it will be vulnerable.
Rune Cost: 45 Mana: 240
Movement: 3-3 (Heavy Type)
Upkeep: 24
Tips:
The key weakness of Golem is its low hit rate. Overall, this unit is
quite acceptable to be use. It has higher defensive stats compared to
its attack which makes it a great defender. However, don't go nuts with
it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Giant
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 Red
Attacks: Power Fist
Comments: Great attacker. Could do a serious damage to
Enchantresses with a Power spell cast on it. Pretty weak
hit rate. But it works against huge targets such as
Dragons.
Rune Cost: 60 Mana: 280
Movement: 4-4 (Heavy Type)
Upkeep: 28
Tips:
Giants is a great defender and attacker. However, levelling up Giants
really needs a Unicorn to support it till it becomes level 12+. But it
is quite a great unit in moving across mountainous terrains which
Golems can't.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gryhon
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 White
Attacks: Beak Attack
Comments: High MOV range allows it to move fast and catches the
escaping general. Decent attacking power but misses
quite often against low lying creatures.
Rune Cost: 55 Mana: 300
Movement: 6-6 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 30
Tips:
Nothing much too say. But if you want to level Gryhons up easily, look
for Hellhounds or Ghouls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wyvern
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: Nil
Attacks: Tail Whip
Comments: Use it to snipe up dying creatures, but beware of
average hit rate. It has better hit rate compared to
Gryhons.
Rune Cost: 60 Mana: 320
Movement: 7-7 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 32
Tips:
Wyverns are fast movers. In fact, if you have a Rune Knight that could
support 6 monsters. Place Wyverns in the last row.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roc
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: Nil
Attacks: Solid Claw, may petrify enemy
Special: Cry Bird, MPC: 60, 2 hex. [A]
Comments: Best swooping monster. Moves fast and has a high rate
of petrifying monsters. Cry Bird causes random
paralysis, but it also affect allies.
Rune Cost: 70 Mana: 380
Movement: 6-6 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 38
Tips:
Even though it is a great sniper as its Solid Claw could cause
petrifaction [enemy turns into stone], but its relative low Strength
stats as compared to Wyverns/Dragons makes it weaker as being compared
to these units.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragon
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 Red
Attacks: Terrow Jaw
Special: Acid Breath, MPC: 40, 3 hex.
Comments: Obviously the BEST troop. A solid line of this could
does massive amount of damage to enemies. Acid Breath
does damage to those in range, but also affect allies
that are within the range. There is a high rate of
being poisoned.
Rune Cost: 75 Mana: 420
Movement: 4-4 (Heavy Type)
Upkeep: 42
Tips:
Acid Breath can be a devastating weapon. But even though it has a great
statistics, it is still quite weak against multiple enemies. Hence, have
a healing/backup unit to support it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hydra
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 Blue
Attacks: Freezing Spiral
Special: Ice Breath, MPC: 45, 4 hex.
Skill: Aqua Recovery 5%
Comments: Treat it as the aquatic version of Dragons. it moves
slowly on land, but moves much faster on water. The
4 hex. breath weapon could does huge amount on mages
with a Power spell being cast on it.
Rune Cost: 80 Mana: 460
Movement: 3-6 (Water Type)
Upkeep: 46
Tips:
Hydras are slow moving units on land. They can move only with 3 hexes
in forest areas whereas in water, they could move an astonishing range
of six hex. These unit are deadly against the Dragons for its elemental
orb has 2:1 ratio over the Dragons.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demon
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 Black
Attacks: Evil Spike
Magic: Venom, MPC: 45, 3 hex.
Curse, MPC: 108, 2 hex.
Comments: Average attacking power and high MOV range. High
blasting magic. Venom may causes poison and Curse
packs a punch.
Rune Cost: 85 Mana: 480
Movement: 5-5 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 48
Tips:
Even though its HP is relative low in the early levels, it is still a
good attacker. Place in middle row of your units, so that it can still
cast Curse, which is deadly against Rune Knights. Once it has reached
the Arch Angel status, you can place it in front row but it still
requires a backup unit for its HP is still rather low.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angel
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 White
Attacks: Cross Strike
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Divine Ray, MPC: 112, 2 hex.
Comments: Good healing party and average attacker. Divine Ray
can does a high damage of 130+ HP. But high Rune Costs
and Mana makes it tough to choose.
Rune Cost: 85 Mana: 500
Movement: 5-5 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 50
Tips:
Angels are like Bishops except it does not have Halo, Cure and Area Heal
spells. But it still packs a punch for its Divine Ray. But its high Rune
Cost will causes most people to use Unicorns as the preferred backup
unit over the Angel.

========================================================================
Secondary Monster Units Bestiary [Level 10+, **]
========================================================================

the secondary class [2 stars]. Firstly, choose Organize from the main
menu and then choose Class from the sub-menu and you should see an "UP"

higher Rune Costs compared to primary monsters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vampire
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 Black
Attacks: Life Drain
Skill: HP Recovery 5%
Comments: Vampires are just better Ghouls with HP recovery. Life
Drain not only causes damage, but as drains about 5% of
damage.
Rune Cost: 30 Requirements: Level 10 Ghoul
Movement: 4-6 (Land Type)
Upkeep: 12
Tip:
A better ghoul with Life Drain [when it attacks, it get back some of

deadly Vampire Lords.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Death Needle
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 Red

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Triton
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 Blue
Attacks: Wave Arch
Special: Maelstorm, MPC: 40, 2 hex. [A]
Skill: Aqua Recovery 5%
Aqua Attack + 20%
Comments: Maelstorm can only be used in water. Improved attacking
power. However it is still better to used on marine
battlefieds such as Lidney.
Rune Cost: 40 Requirements: Level 10 Merman
Movement: 3-7 (Water Type)
Upkeep: 33
Tips:
Maelstorm can't be use on land! It is meant for aquatic use. But having
two blue elemental orbs, it can be as deadly as an Hydra against
Dragons on aquatic battlefields. Maelstorm also damages allies that are
within the attack area. Hence, use it appropiately!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dao
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 Black
Special: Rotten Storm, MPC: 50, 3 hex.

Leave me be! [C]
Magic: Protect, MPC: 60, 4 hex.
Paralyze, MPC: 77, 3 hex.
React, MPC: 126, 2 hex.
Silent, MPC: 50, 4 hex.
Comments: Slight improvement in attacking power. Has accquired more
spells. React is useful and Paralyze could give them an
edge in combat.
Rune Cost: 45 Requirements: Level 10 Pixie
Movement: 6-6 (Low Sky Type)
Upkeep: 28
Tip:
It's Magic Stick can occassionally causes Charm. Upon criticals, its'
Leave me be! attack can does high damage as much as 100 compared to its
regular 20. Fairies are strong units for its React spell, but it can't
be cast on oneself. LV 18 Fairies can cast React for two turns.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lizard Guard
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 Blue
Attack: Guard Axe
Special: Poison Breath, MPC: 30, 2 hex.
Comments: Has very high hit rate, seems almost perfect. Average
attacking power and Poison Breath also causes poison.
Rune Cost: 45 Requirements: Level 10 Lizard Man.
Movement: 5-5 (Shoal Type)
Upkeep: 32
Tip:
An excellent hit rate. It can be placed as a frontline unit upon
reaching level 14. Use Life Potions to upgrade its HP or have backup
healing units.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fenrir
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 Black
Attacks: Ruin Fang
Special: Inferno, MPC: 45, 3 hex.
Skills: Hit and Away
Comments: Improved breath weapon and high attacking power.
Rune Cost: 50 Requirements: Level 10 Hellhound
Movement: 5-8 (Land Type)
Upkeep: 36
Tips:
Fast moving monster and has the highest movement range of 8! Inferno is
deadly as it works like the Acid Breath. Inferno can't be used after
movement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
High Centaur
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 Green
Attacks: Killer Shot, 3 hex.
Comments: Basically, a better Centaur with improved range and good
attacking power. A solid line of these will result in a
massive amount of damage to foes.
Rune Cost: 50 Requirements: Level 10 Centaur
Movement: 7-7 (Horse Type)
Upkeep: 32
Tips:
You can't finished the game without this. When teamed up with Archers,
they are extremely deadly. Upon level 14+, its attacks can average up
to 120+!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man Eater
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 Green
Attacks: Tentacle Beat, may paralyzed opponent
Special: Spine Missile, 3 hex.
Comments: A beefed up Mandrake plus a long range attacks. Spine
Missile can not be used after movement.
Rune Cost: 50 Requirements: Level 10 Mandrake.
Movement: 3-7 (Forest Type)
Upkeep: 36
Tips:
If you defending mountainous-terrain battlefields such as Dilworth, Man
Eaters will be a perfect choice. It's Spine Missile has a 3 hex range,
but it can't be use after movement. Astonishing high HP compared to
other units.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pegasus
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 White
Attacks: Diving Horn
Back Kick [C]
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex.
Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex.

moves an opponent 1 hex. away. An ideal heal support.
Rune Cost: 55 Requirement: Level 10 Unicorn,
Level 20 Nightmare
Movement: 6-6 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 38
Tips:
Pegasus has a Halo spell and has better movement range compared to
Unicorns. It allows it to move freely even on mountainous regions and
water terrains.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nightmare
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 Black
Attacks: Calamity Horn
Back Kick [C]
Magic: Dimension, MPC: 83, 4 hex.
Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex.
Comments: A unicorn with no healing spells. Dimension can move away
key monsters such as Unicorns and Angels. Average attacking
power. Use Weakness on your foe before start attacking.
Rune Cost: 55 Requirements: Level 10 Unicorn
Movement: 7-7 (Horse Type)
Upkeep: 38
Tips:
Nightmares can be somewhat useful in defense. It allows you to move away
key units such as Dragons so that you can focus on the Rune Knights. But
the Dimension spells does not work quite well at most times.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stone Golem
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: Nil
Attacks: Stone Punch
Stone Throw, 2 hex.
Skill: Golem Attributes
Comments: Just a better Golem with higher defence and has a long
range based weapon, but low hit rate.
Rune Cost: 70 Requirements: Level 10 Clay Golem.

Upkeep: 38
Tips:
Same as Golem, but don't use Stone Throw, unless it's on other Golems.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Titan
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 White, 1 Red
Attacks: Hyper Fist
Comments: Just a better Giant with improved attacking power, but it
has a low movement range. When a Power spell is cast on
these guys, they can do a massive amount of damage.
Rune Cost: 75 Requirements: Level 10 Giant
Movement: 4-4 (Heavy Type)
Upkeep: 48
Tips:
Titans are great killers on Sorceress and Witch class. It's Hyper Fist
can does an average 140+ even though it is just level 10 on a Sorceress.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gigas
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 Black, 1 Red
Attacks: Heavy Fist
Comments: Slow movement, but high attacking power. With a Power spell
cast on these guys, they can do a massive amount of damage.
Rune Cost: 75 Requirements: Level 10 Giant.
Movement: 4-4 (Heavy Type)
Upkeep: 48
Tips:
If you want Meteor Doom, pick this unit and get the Wisdom Seed to
convert it into a Loki. But it must reach level 19 [based on which
Giants that you have summoned from], so that it has at least 255 MP.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Couatl
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: Nil
Attacks: Tail Chain
Special: Dragon Roar, MPC: 25, 1 hex [A]
Comments: A better Wyvern with higher attacking power. Dragon Roar
affects both allies and enemies within the range [it reduce
1/6 of total HP]
Rune Cost: 80 Requirements: Level 10 Wyvern
Movement: 7-7 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 50
Tips:
Dragon Roar is deadly against high HP enemies. Use it wisely. But Couatl
seems to have better hit rate than Wyverns. Couatl has the great
movement range as its prequisite!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Holy Griffin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 White
Attacks: Beak Clash
Feather Storm, 2 hex.
Comments: A better Gryhon with a long range attack. Feather Storm can
not be used after movement. A decent attacker.
Rune Cost: 80 Requirements: Level 10 Gryhon.
Movement: 6-6 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 48
Tips:
Holy Griffins can killed Berserkers! Holy Griffons have a two white
elemental orb. It's Feather Storm can be used within 2 hex or 1 hex,
just Man-Eater's Spine Missile, but can't be used after movement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phoenix
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 3 Red
Attacks: Fire Claw
Special: Heal Voice, MPC: 80, 2 hex.
Skill: HP Recovery 10%
Comments: The toughest secondary class monster. It has a 10% HP
recovery plus a decent attacking power. Heal Voice is
useful, just like the Area Heal, but beware enemies
whom is within the region also gets healed too.
Rune Cost: 90 Requirements: Level 10 Roc
Movement: 6-6 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 58
Tips:
When attacking a Phoenix, attack in groups as when it's HP is low, it
will use its Heal Voice. But it is still deadly as its three red-
elemental orbs can allows it to eliminate any blue elemental units. The
downside of the Phoenix from the Roc is that it's Fire Claw can't cause
petrification.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red Dragon
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 Red
Attacks: Burning Jaw
Specials: Fire Breath, MPC: 45, 4 hex.
Comments: An improved Dragon with longer breath weapon and increased
attacking power. A walking powerful machine. Pick this as
it can be promoted to rocking Salamander.
Rune Cost: 95 Requirements: Level 10 Dragon
Movement: 5-5 (Heavy Type)
Upkeep: 64
Tips:
If most of your Rune Knights are low in Rune Power, I would recommend
that you choosen the Red Dragon. It is just as powerful as the White
Dragon and it does more damage to a Hydra as being compred to a White
Dragon. But it does not fly which makes slow moving on water
battlefields. It's Fire Breath is deadly for a 4 hex range. Save it when
the entire army is being surrounded.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
White Dragon
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 White, 1 Red
Attacks: Lightning Fang
Special: Energy Bolt, MPC: 45, 4 hex.
Comments: A flying Dragon with improved movement, attacking power and
extended breath weapon. More expensive compared to Red
Dragon. 5 Rune Power seems to make it worth it for its
flight ability. Flight is pretty important for water
battlefields such as Lidney.
Rune Cost: 100 Requirements: Level 10 Dragon
Movement: 5-5 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 64
Tips:
The White Dragon has only one advantage over the Red Dragon and that's
its flight ability. Flight can be important as it allows an unit to
escape when it's being surrounded. But for its elemental orb, it is
still quite weak, especially against the Tiamats. It's Energy Bolt is
deadly against most enemies.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arch Demon
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 3 Black
Attacks: Crime Spike
Magic: Venom, MPC: 45, 3 hex.
Curse, MPC: 108, 2 hex.
Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex.
Dimension, MPC: 83, 4 hex.
Comments: A better Demon with two more spells. High attacking power
makes it a better attacker in combat.
Rune Cost: 105 Requirements: Level 10 Demon
Movement: 6-6 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 72
Tips:
Arch Demon has an average attacking power but it is still deadly as
ever. With additonal spells such as Weakness and Dimension to boost,
it's still as deadly as ever. It's Dimension spell allows you to
teleport enemy unit away from your army, hence you can focus on the
Rune Knights. Not forgetting its ability to cast Curse, a very deadly
spell.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tiamat
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 Blue, 1 Black
Attacks: Ruinous Spiral
Special: Death Breath, MPC: 50, 5 hex.
Comments: A better Hydra. High HP makes it a tough one on both land
and sea battles. Plus it has 5 hex. breath weapon, which is
also a killer weapon too.
Rune Cost: 110 Requirements: Level 10 Hydra
Movement: 3-7 (Water Type)
Upkeep: 70
Tips:
The final form of Hydras. Extremely high HP and it has the second
highest HP unit [the unit with most HP will be the Man-Eater]. The only
disadvantage over Dragons is its slow movement. Hence try to move it as
fast as possible.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arch Angel
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 3 White
Attacks: Cross Blitz
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex.
Divine Ray, MPC: 112, 2 hex.
Holy Word, MPC: 183, 4 hex.
Comments: Rather expensive, but more affective as it has more spells
such as Holy Word and Halo.
Rune Cost: 105 Requirements: Level 10 Angel.
Movement: 5-5 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 74
Tip:
Arch Angel has the best white magic, Holy Word. This is the key word for
making Leonia into one of the strongest army. But it's Holy Word does
not does that much damage as compared to Divine Ray. But it's a pity for
it does has a crucial white magic, Cure. This factor can eliminated by
equip the Rune Knights with Tailsman.

/ 7.3 \_________________________________________________________________
========================================================================
Final Class Monsters [Level 20+] (***)
========================================================================
Please note that the following units are stronger than any of your
character-type units [unless you uses gameshark.] These units requires
intensive training. Just reach LV 20 or 30 and you will be able to
switch to this class. Some of the units required special items such as
Wisdom seed, etc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vampire Lord
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 3 Black
Attacks: Life Drain
Special: Bat Attack, MPC: 50, 2 hex.
Skill: HP Recovery 10%
Magic: Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex.
Necro Rebirth, MPC: 97, 1 hex.
Comments: The easiest to get among all Final Class monsters. 10%
HP Recovery make them a tough unit, plus they have
Necro Rebirth
Rune Cost: 70 Requirements: Level 20 Vampire
Movement: 6-6 (Low Sky Type)
Upkeep: 42
Tips:
This is a reward for Brigandine players, who managed to carry up their
Vampire units up to the Vampire Lord status. The Vampire lords has one
of most deadly spells, Necro Rebirth. It has a 2 hex weapon, The Bat
Attack, which requires MP. It's Life Drain does damage and brings back
HP. It's Necro Rebirth can revive dead monsters in that battle. But you
can't use the "revived monsters" for the next battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Poseidon
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elementak: 3 Blue
Attacks: Flood Arch
Special: Mael Storm, MPC: 50, 3 hex. [A]
Skills: Aqua Recovery 10%
Aqua Attack 20%
Comments: Not much to say as Tritons are rarely used. Mael Storm
can only be used with water!
Rune Cost: 55 Requirements: Level 20 Triton
Movement: 4-8
Upkeep: 44
Tips:
After staying up for a night to upgrading the Triton, I managed to get
this unit. This unit looks cool as it is gold in colour. It has a long
hex-area based Mael Storm [but it still damages the enemy that is
within its range.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bronze Golem
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: Nil
Attacks: Bronze Punch
Rock Throw, 3 hex.
Skill: Golem Attributes
Comments: Basically a better Golem. Longer Rock Throw makes it a
better attack, but still has crappy hit rate with the
Rock Throw.
Rune Cost: 85 Requirements: Level 20 Stone Golem
Movement: 4-4 (Heavy Type)
Upkeep: 52
Tips:
Bronze Golems are deadly when they managed to hit their enemy. It's
Rock Throw can does a hefty damage of 200+ on a low defense unit. Magic
does not work well on Golem as they have 0 INT.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thor
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 White, 1 red
Attacks: Mjolnir
Special: Thor Hammer, MPC: 120, 3 hex.
Comments: A very powerful attacking warrior with a new outfit.
Thor Hammer gives this guy an edge to combat. At the level
13, Thor can already uses two Thor Hammers..
Rune Cost: 95 Requirements: Rage Lightning + Titan
Movement: 4-4 (Heavy Type)
Upkeep: 66
Tip:
Thors are strong! Their Thor Hammer does damage to all including your
own party members! But it's Mjolnir can wallop off an enemy...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loki
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 Black, 1 red
Attacks: Megaton
Magic: Dimension, MPC: 88, 4 hex.
Meteor Doom, MPC: 255, 3 hex. [2 hex. A]
Comments: Similar to the Titan, but has Meteor Doom. Reach until
Level 18 so that Meteor Doom can be used or use Magic
Potions.
Rune Cost: 95 Requirements: Wisdom Seed + Gigas
Movement: 5-5 (Heavy Type)
Upkeep: 66
Tips:
This is one of most dangerous units that is very damaging. It has the
most deadly spell, Meteor Doom. It is not necessary that you need to
upgrade it to Lv 18 -Lv 19 in order to use Meteor Doom, as you can make
use of Magic Potion to upgrade its MP.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Salamander
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 3 Red
Attacks: Burning Fang
Special: Grand Flame, MPC: 55, 5 hex.
Dragon Roar, MPC: 25, 1 hex. [A]
Comments: A very powerful monster. Grand Flame can does damage up
to 200+ and can have Enchantresses for breadfast!
Rune Cost: 110 Requirements: Level 20 Red Dragon
Movement: 5-5 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 86
Tips:
This monster is one of the most deadly units, partly due to its high
strength stats. It's Grand Flame is considered to be the most blasting
breath weapon. Dragon Roar removes 1/6 of the units' current HP [that's
within the attack area and it also includes your own units.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fafnir
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 2 White, 1 Red
Attacks: Lustral Fang
Magic Photon, MPC: 55, 5 hex.
Dragon Roar, MPC: 25, 1 hex.
Comments: Very powerful and destructive and seems stand at pace
with the Tiamats. High destructive attacking power.
Rune Cost: 115 Requirements: Level 10 White Dragon.
Movement: 5-5 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 86
Tips:
I myself like the Fafnir over the Salmander. It is gold in colour and
is very powerful. It's Photon has a 5 hex range, which is similar to
the Salmander's Grand Flame. Dragon Roar removes 1/6 of the unit's
current HP (that's within the attack area and it also includes your
own units]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bahamut
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: Nil
Attacks: Final Fang
Special: Final Breath, MPC: 55, 5 hex.
Dragon Roar, MPC: 25, 1 hex. [A]
Comments: Has higher MOV range compared to Salamander. Very
destructive when a Power spell is being cast on it.
Rune Cost: 115 Requirements: Level 20 Couatl
Movement: 6-6 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 76
Tips:
The advantage between Bahamuts and Salmanders/Fafnirs is the speed. They
have higher movement range and it allows them to reach enemies that are
run away. Since the Bahamut has no elemental orbs, it is considerable to
get one, even though it's a bit weaker compared to the Salmanders/
Fafnirs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Satan
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 3 Black
Attacks: Dark Pleasure
Death Lip [C]
Nasty Needle, 2 hex.
Magic: Venom, MPC: 45, 3 hex.
Meteor Doom, MPC: 255, 3 hex. [2 hex, A]
Curse, MPC: 108, 2 hex.
Necro Rebirth, MPC: 97, 1 hex.
Dimension, MPC: 83, 4 hex.
Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex.
Comments: It has the whole load of Black Magic. It has also
accquired the Meteor Doom, the mostly deadly black
magic. The only problem is that it practically takes
AGES to advance this far. Nastly Needle can used after
movement
Rune Cost: 115 Requirements: Level 20 Arch Demon
Movement: 6-6 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 96
Tips:
It is very difficult to get this unit. But I found a method to nab easy
Satans. Just get another unit to cast Halo [Bishop/Cardinal/Queen/
Lector/Cleric] and have the Demon kill the dying monster. But it will
be more appropiate to use this method on training Rune Knights such as
Lyoneese and Lance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seraph
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 3 White
Attacks: Punish Rise
Nemesis [C]
Light Feather, 2 hex.
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Area Heal, MPC: 147, 2 hex. [A]
Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex.
Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex.
Holy Word, MPC: 183, 4 hex.
Divin Ray, MPC: 112, 2 hex.
Comments: A very good healing party. This unit has accquired the
a whole load of White Magic, plus a two hex useable
attack [after movement]
Rune Cost: 120 Requirements: Level 20 Arch Angel
Movement: 6-6 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 98
Tips:
On the other hand, Arch Angels are much easier to level up. This is
partly due to their magic. As you heal an injured unit, you will get a
fair amount of exp. Plus it's Holy Word can hit enemies that is as far
as 4 hex away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lilith
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 White, 1 Black, 1 Blue
Attacks: Dark Ecstasy
Lilith Kiss [c], may messerises opponent.
Chaos Needle, 2 hex.
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Divine Ray, MPC: 112, 2 hex.
Venom, MPC: 54, 3 hex.
Meteor Doom, MPC: 255, 3 hex. [2 hex A]
Curse, MPC: 108, 2 hex.
Dimension, MPC: 83, 4 hex.
Weakness, MPC: 68, 4 hex.
Necro Rebirth, MPC: 97, 1 hex.
Frost, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Charm, MPC: 110, 2 hex.
Comments: Wow! This is great. With a whole of magic, this unit
can be use as a defensive unit or attacking force.
Needed to get Liquor of Charm.
Rune Power: 120 Requirements: Satan + Liquor of
Charm
Movement: 6-6 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 120
Tips:
I managed get one while playing as Iscalio. It is deadly as it can charm
units with it's critcial attack. It is much better than Satan as it got
Heal, Charm and Frost.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucifer
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: 1 White, 1 Red, 1 Black
Attacks: Fallen Shine
Shalom [C]
Chaos Feather, 2 hex.
Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex.
Area Heal, MPC: 147, 2 hex. [A]
Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex.
Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex.
Divine Ray, MPC: 112, 2 hex.
Holy Word, MPC: 183, 4 hex. [A]
Meteor Doom, MPC: 255, 3 hex [A-2 hex]
Dimension, MPC: 83, 4 hex.
Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex.
Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex.
Comments: Has Meteor Doom, Holy Word and Area Heal. Great, but
it also consume time for an Angel to reach so far.
Rune Cost: 125 Requirements: Seraph + Fruit of Vice.
Movement: 6-6 (High Sky Type)
Upkeep: 122
Tips:
The unit has the highest upkeep cost. It is a great unit as it can be
an effective backup and attack unit. It also owns the Power and Flame
spells which are deadly attacking magic.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Talos
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elemental: Nil
Attacks: Mega Punch
Rock Throw, 4 hex.
Comments: This unit is deadly as it does tons of damage to a
single foe. The 4 hex Rock Throw may be deadly, but it
still has quite a crappy hit rate.
Rune Cost: 90 Requirements: Level 30 Bronze Golem
Movement: 4-4 (Heavy Type)
Upkeep: 66
Tips:
It takes me to use this unit for just one battle... In fact, I managed
to use for New Almekia against Caerleon for that one last battle,
otherwise Snake of Chaos will occur... It's hit rate is much better and
it does an astonishing damage of 200+ per hit! Unless you managed to
nab that Bronze Golem from Kazan.

The Ruler's Walkthrough
========================================================================
These are just the basic guidlines for a ruler. I have also included a
list of data about the castles. There is a list of Rune Knights and the
Rune Knights breakdown under each walkthrough.
In this update (version 1.12), I have added the list of sequences that
occured when Rune Knights are being place in the same castle. Some of
sequences (which are marked with '*') are not necessary to meet up with
the requirements as they just occur in time. Some of the sequences are
marked with "......" as I have forgetten about it.

Vaynard: Norgard's Walkthrough
========================================================================
This kingdom is situated in the north continent. The ruler, Vaynard
begins with several good generals such as Guinglain, Yvain, Palomides
and Brangien. This country has a powerful troop of dragons, therefore
it is not a good one to mess with. The only problem with this country
is that you may have trouble in defend your domain as there are a total
of four castles to defend.
Country Sequences
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rune Knights Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vaynard, Guinglain Vaynard is having a short chit-chat with
Guinglain that Guinglain will make a better
king than him, but Guinglain says it is much
more fun to be an advisor as it allows them
to control the lords to do what they want...
Guinglain, Noie Noie is actually ill and she intends to fight
until Vaynard has successfully unify the
continent.
Vaynard, Noie Noie is standing outside the castle and
Vaynard wishes to know more about her past.
Vaynard says that he wishes to hear Noie sing
once he has unify the continent.
Zerafin, Kirkmond Zerafin is drinking at the bar and he is
rather upset as Vaynard ignores him...
Guinglain, Faticia Faticia is singing and Guinglain comes and
interrupted her. Guinglain hands her a letter
Faticia thoughts that it is a love letter,
but it is actually a document on mana. After
reading this, Mana increases by 5.
Roadbull and Elaine They were discussing on Vaynard's capability
to unify the continent. Roadbull gets
attributes bonus and Elaine becomes a better
cook!
Yvain, Palomides* Palomides seems a bit restless and has not
being paying attention to the meetings...
Vaynard, Brangien* Brangien is upset as she is not a man [as she
can't succeed to the throne of Norgard]. She
fights off with Vaynard in a battle. Cling...
Clang...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, here is the character's list in their respective castles at the
beginning:

Status: This castle is separated from Lidney by a bridge.
Name of Castle: Humber Income: 207
Summon List: G-Scorpion, Merman, Hellhound, Hydra.
Status: This castle prevents invasions from Leonia.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly, move your Rune Knights/leaders around the castles located at
the borders, so that there are at least 3 Rune Knights guard a castle
that are located at the borders. Defend your borders well and attack
them slowly, about one at the time. At 215, 3rd month, Vaynard will head
to Leonia and engage war with Leonia. After your first victory, Luintail
will join you. [If you attack Esgares first, you can get Schutlesis to
join you] Attack New Almekia until you reach Camelford. Morholt will
join you at about 4th month of 215 [provided you have two victories], if
you are lucky enough, you will get Schutlesis to join your party. Now
Attack Leonia, which is the "weakest" country in the game, keep on
attacking just sending your best knights and you will be able to finish
Leonia in a year. Station a decent force at Hadrian. Do some quests and
hopefully can get more Rune Knights. Attack Lidney with marine force
such as Hydras [Lidney has a high income of 300!] and this will greatly
weaken Esgares. Attack Orkney to create more trouble. Now concentrate
on finishing New Almekia. Take the castle of Camelford and advance to
other cities until you reach BaydonHill. Now with enough manpower,
advance on your attacks on Esgares. Hopefully that it is greatly weaken
by other countries. Dealt the finishing blow and you be able to finish
Esgares in a year of so. Now concentrate on quests, getting ex-Esgares
Knights to your terrain. Soleil will join you if Schutlesis is on your
side. Now advance your attacks on Iscalio and move with same party that
have defeat Leonia, if not consider send in more reinforcements and
finished off Iscalio. At last, down to the last country, Caerleon.
Advance your attacks on Squests with marine force and from Asten,
advance towards Hervey and capture Linnuis and Baynock. Caerleon will
be greatly weaken as Kail is the lowest income castle in their country.
Now dealt the finishing blow and you have succeeded in unify the entire
continent.
Tips in using Norgard:
- Keep on train your Rune Knights, they are just a few levels away from
achieving the final class. Examples are Guinglain, Palomides, Yvain
and Roadbull.
- Defend your border castles well. Try to take down the key castles such
as Orkney, Lidney, Damas and Camelford. This will weaken your enemy.
For Lidney, send marine troops for easy battles, otherwise you have
problem in attacking the enemy.
- Leonia are weak against black elemental monsters, hence have
Palomides/Luintail, Morholt and Zerafin [switch to Priest class] to
attack them. Send other three Rune Knights to support them.
- Launch an attack at Esgares first [Orkney or Lidney], so that you can
get Schutlesis to join your army and Soleil after you have defeated
Esgares.
- Have Roadbull to aid one of teams that guarding the border castles [
Jukes and Listinoise]. You really need a Bishop.

Norgard's Rune Knight Analysis
Almost all the Rune Knights have high Rune Power, which makes Norgard an
easy country to use. Vaynard can get an awesome Rune Power of 400+, once
you get to Level 30. Norgard has a great mixture of Rune Knights. But
keep your lord from red elemental countries such as Iscalio or Esgares
unless you get to Level 22+.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vaynard [leader]
Level 18 Lord, Rune Power: 332. Age: 21
Equipment: n/a
A warrior who wields a halberd. He is known as the "White Wolf". He has
the second best Rune Power after Zemeckis in the beginning of the game.
His sister, Esmeree is being send to Almekia when Almekia once defeated
Norgard. He seems to be on bad terms with all the leaders of other
countries.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guinglain
Level 17 Cavalier, EXPERT, Rune Power: 294. Age 23
Equipment: Answeller
A minister who helps Vaynard as a strategy. He is also a good friend of
Vaynard. Just gain 3 more levels and he will reach the Paladin class. He
is also known as the "Silver Knight". You need to gain an additional
level after attaining Paladin so that he can uses Holy Word.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brangien
Level 10 Archer, Rune Power: 257. Age: 17
Equipment: Heaven Bow.
I guessed she's the only Archer that possess the chance to get to the
Artemis class. BTW, she is the daughter of King Dormeditt, but she can't
be the successor to the throne of Norgard as she is a girl. She seems
to be jealous of Vaynard...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Noie
Level 2 Cleric, Rune Power: 201. Age: 18
Equipment: Madonna's Rod.
She is said to be a genius in the field of music. Even facing death due
to her illness, she still fights for the sake of Vaynard. She has very
high Rune Power for low levels. Just need another 4 additonal levels to
reach EXPERT in Cleric.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kirkmond
Level 12 Sorcerer, Rune Power: 191. Age 34.
Equipment: n/a
He is one of Rune Knights that I have reached level 20. Just 3 stars to
reach EXPERT! in Sorcerer. You can get to the Wizard Class easily.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dillard
Level 10 Grappler, Rune Power: 180. Age: 25
Equipment: n/a
Just requires 5 stars to reach EXPERT! in Grappler. Dillard is one of
the Rune Knights are being hired by Vaynard after Vaynard have succeeded
to the throne.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zerafin
Level 7 Mage, Rune Power: 175. Age: 35
Equipment: n/a
Just requires 3 more levels to reach secondary class [Sorcerer/Druid].
He is very upset as Norgard has lost to Almekia where he witness the
death of the late king in the battle at Lidney.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faticia
Level 10 Lancer, Rune Power: 164. Age: 22
Equipment: n/a
One of the key weakness for Faticia is her low Rune Power. Equip her
with a Solomon's Ring/Bell of Comfort/ Rune Armband to support her. She
is quite a good fighter and it seems to me that she is secretly in love
with Guinglain...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ector
Level 5 Fighter, Rune Power: 161. Age: 16
Equipment: n/a
Just a star is required to reach EXPERT! in Fighter Class and 5 levels
to secondary classes [Berserker/Cavalier/Samurai]. I would recommend
you to send him for quests.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roadbull
Level 14 Bishop, Rune Power: 247. Age: 49
Equipment: n/a
Just a star is required to reach EXPERT! in Bishop. High chance of
getting to Cardinal Class. He has a daughter called Elaine, and he has
doubts about Vaynard's ability.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elaine
Level 1 Enchantress. Rune Power: 151. Age: 16
Equipment: n/a
Need to gain more experience points! Better off by sending her for
quests. But she is rather easy to level up. She is the daughter of
Roadbull.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yvain
Level 13 Cavalier. Rune Power: 231. Age: 22
Equipment: Large Shield
Just required 2 stars to reach EXPERT! in Cavalier. At the level of 13,
he has a considerable high Rune Power. I managed to get him to the
Paladin Class, but it is already quite late in the game. He seems to be
the only one who understands Brangien...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Palomides
Level 13 Berserker. Rune Power: 211.
Equipment: n/a
Just 2 stars to reach EXPERT! In Berserker status. Palomides has one
strong point and that is his high HP. He is a good friend of Yvain.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morholt
Level 16 Druid. Rune Power: 205. Age: 34
Equipment: n/a
Requirements to recruit: Win 2 battles.
Just 4 levels to reach the Necromancer class. Morholt is a former
Almekian Knight and he joins Norgard as he believes Norgard can put an
end for the war. He does not join New Almekia as he thinks Lance is not
ambitious enough...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Luintail
Level 17 Berserker. Rune Power: 225. Age: 41
Equipment: n/a
Requirements to recruit: Win the first battle.
Requires an additonal 3 levels to reach the Avenger class. Luintail left
Norgard as he formerly believes that Vaynard will not be a good lord,
but seeing Norgard won the first battle, he decides to join Norgard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

========================================================================
Lance: New Almekia Walkthrough
========================================================================
This is probably the best country to start with and you will be going
to have an easy time. Lance may be just a Level 1 Prince, but he reach
support from several powerful knights such as Gereint, Coel, Meleagant
and Halley. Lance may be weak, but in no time, you should be able to
see the real power of Lance. He will become King with the addition of
his original magic spells plus the Geno-Flame. Lance is really strong
once he reach level 20+.

Name of Castle: Gorule Income: 209
Summon List: Pixie, Merman, Clay Golem, Wyvern
Status: Prevent Norgard invasions through castle Alliyrme
Name of Castles: Camelford Income: 289
Summon List: Jinn, Mandrake, Gryhon, Angel
Status: A key castle, defend it well as it prevents attacks
from the Esgares Empire through castles Eorsia and
Orkney.
Name of Castle: Calmary Income: 405

Name of Castle: BaydonHill Income: 239
Summon List: Ghoul, Merman, Giant, Hydra
Status: A castle that leads to Squest of Caerleon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Defending this country is extremely easy as you can seal off your
terrain with two castles, Camelford and Gorule. Set a decent troop at
Camelford so that you can prevent any enemy invasion through Orkney or
Eorsia. Start out by attacking Alliyrme and Kardiff. After the first
month, Cai on the behalf of Caerleon will form an alliance. Now with
sufficient support, launch repetitive attacks on Esgares. Intial
assaults on Cador may be tough but do give up. As Coel says that whether
he is should pay a visit to Officer Glauze, sent him for quest and this
will recruit Glauze to your side. On the 9th month of 215, the lady who
had saved both Lance and Gereint, will come and meet Prince Lance. She
is searching for Bulnoil, the magician who is responsible for all the
chaos caused on the continent. During the first month of 216, Alsace
will join Lance. Now start to attack Norgard, take Flogeru, an ideal
castle for ruling the north continent. Then about somewhere around this
year, Halley will join you. Now dealt the finishing blow on Norgard and
this should be no problem. With Halley in your party, attack on Esgares
[which is should be greatly weaken by Iscalio, Caerleon and Norgard].
This may take up to the maximum of 3 years. Now you will held the
coronation at Logres and Prince Lance will be promoted to King and he
will gain Geno-Flame. Now attack on Leonia, just send Meleagant, Gereint
and a Mage will do the trick. Attack and dealt the finishing blow.
Caerleon should be intensively with war against Iscalio and should be
able to finish Iscalio in a year or so. At last, victory is yours. Note:
You may need to occupied Logres.
NOTE TO THOSE USING NEW ALMEKIA
-------------------------------
Under ANY circumstances, do NOT attack CAERLEON. If you did so, you
will introduce a strong foe, Cai and ths Knight Master, Dinadan. This
will make life tough as you have to guard more castles and so don't
ever try to fight Caerleon!
Tips in using New Almekia
- Lance is pretty weak early in the game, hence sent him along with a
couple of great leaders. Protect him at all costs. Place him in the
middle, so that you can effectively making use of his healing and
Flame spells. Have him deal the finishing blow.
- Defend Camelford at all costs.
- If you get Loufal to a Cavalier, he can get his father's sword [
Mithril Sword] upon questing.
- The three ladies [Carlota, Aphelia and Adilicia] forms a great trio.

........................................................................
Lance
Level 1 Prince. Rune Power: 220. Age: 14
Equipment: n/a
This guy may have low levels, but once he has gained more levels he will
become one of best warriors in Forsena. His Rune Power can reach up to
500 upon reaching Level 30. If you defeat Esgares and acquired Logres,
Lance will be prompted to the King [which means he will acquire
Geno-Flame]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gereint
Level 19 Samurai. Rune Power: 284. Age: 31
Equipment: Tora
Gereint is the only general that left along with Lance upon escape from

will reach the Shogun Class.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meleagant
Level 20 Avenger. Rune Power: 209. Age: 25

get Glauze to join New Almekia upon going for quest. Coel is the former

her a great fighter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Batercus
Level 11 Grappler. Rune Power: 176. Age: 30
Equipment: n/a
Low Rune Power makes this guy much weaker as being compared to Adilicia.

strength statistics.

Aphelia
Level 9 Cleric. Rune Power: 183. Age: 26.

Glauze
Level 15 Cavalier. Rune Power: 222. Age: 31

Cai: Caerleon Walkthrough
========================================================================
This country is probably the second best as Cai is very powerful
magician who has accquired all Genos. Under him, includes the cheerful
Merriot, Bishop BeauArte and Knight Master Dinadan. This country is
the easiest to defend as you can just seal off the entrance with one
castle.
Country Sequences:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rune Knights Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merriot, Cai, BeauArte Merriot is doing Cai's laundry and cares for
Dinadan* Cai.
Merriot, Cierra, Cai It's about jewellery. Watch out whether Cai
will choose the bracelet [Merriot] or earrings
[Cierra]
Bilcock, Cai (1) Bilcock has created a car but it moves slower
than people ^_^; Before that, there is a lot
more funnier toys!
Bilcock, Cai (2) Bilcock has created another new invention
called the Magic Knight. However, the magic
knight goes haywire and Bilcock has to destroy
it and he gains 1 STR points!
Millia, Eloute Millia is painting and express her views on
painting and the world.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will not be covering any parts regarding the sequences after Esgares
have been defeated, otherwise it will spoil your game.
Now onto the list of Rune Knights and castles in Caerleon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name of Castle Name of Leader Occupation

C A S T L E S O F C A E R L E O N
........................................................................
Name of Castle: Squest Income: 211
Summon List: Merman, Lizard Man, Roc, Hydra
Status: One of the castles in the four castles path. Leads to
BaydonHill of New Almekia. Vital if is fighting
against Caerleon.
Name of Castle: Kail Income: 176
Summon List: Ghoul, Hellhound, Wyvern
Status: Two-castle path leading to Linnuis and Squest.
Name of Castle: Linnuis Income: 469
Summon List: Pixie, Jinn, Lizard Man, Centaur, Mandrake, Giant,
Dragon.
Status: Captial of Caerleon with a high income and in the
three castle path.
Name of Castle: Baynock Income: 214
Summon List: Unicorn, Gryhon, Wyvern, Dragon
Status: The choke point of Caerleon against eastern invasions
Name of Castle: Hervery Income: 233
Summon List: G-Scorpion, Centaur, Clay Golem, Angel
Status: The castle that allows Caerleon to attack Salisbury
and Xanas. Second highest income for Caerleon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, now let's get started. Sent some of Rune Knights for quests and
stabilize your defense at Hervery. At 215, 3rd Month, Cai and Merriot
will head for New Almekia and confirmed the alliance. Millia will join
you soon afterwards. As Millia says that she is going to visit an old
friend call Eloute, sent her for quest and you will get Eloute to join
you. With sufficient manpower, attack Salisbury and Xanas. As Eloute
mentions to Millia about a guy named Gush, be sure to sent both of them
for a quest, provided you have enough manpower. With Gush on your side,
launch attack on Iscalio with Dinadan, BeauArte and Jandafar. From
Xanas, keep on attacking down the row. After a year of so, Millia will
talk to both Gush and Eloute about visit a friend which will recruit
Lecarra by sending all 3 at time. Make sure you have enough manpower
to cover all the castles at your border for the time being. You will be
able to finish Iscalio and keep on attacking on Leonia and defeat this
weak country and take Humber of Norgard. Hopefully that Esgares is great
weaken by New Almekia and Norgard and give some aid to New Almekia.
Capture key castles such as Kardiff and Senadon which will greatly
weaken Norgard. New Almekia should have done a massive amount of damage
on Norgard and Esgares. Finished off Vaynard with your troop and
allowing New Almekia to defeat Esgares. If there is a need, remember to
aid New Almekia and you will beat the game.
Tips in using Caerleon
- The great trio comprises of Dinadan, Cai and BeauArte. With this
party, you are almost unbeatable. Cai has all Genos and includes a
couple of green magic such as Protect.
- Cierra, Lecarra and Janfaddar could make the second trio team. They
can do a lot of damage with magic.
- At the beginning, you will experience problems in defending your
castles due to the lack of manpower. But as you proceed onto the game,
you will get more Rune Knights and it makes conquest much easier.
- Get Fairies to support Cai and effectively making use of his
Geno-Thunders.

Merriot
Level 3 Scout, Rune Power: 221. Age: 16
Equipment: Elven Bow
A cheerful lady with high Rune Power. Gain 3 more levels to reach

Geno-Frost.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
BeauArte

Level 12 Druid, Rune Power: 198. Age: 41
Equipment: Ancient Book.

Dryst: Iscalio Walkthrough
========================================================================
So you have decided to play the Man in Fancy Hat, Dryst. He is a
Tryant and a tough cookie along with good warriors such as Iria,
Ulster and Camden. This country is easy to defend [can seal off with
only two castles], but it is still very difficult to attack. There is
another problem, he loves gambling and he is rather stuborn in nature.
Let's proceed to the list of castles and Rune Knights.
Country Sequences
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rune Knights Description
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ulster, Iria, Dryst Ulster finds Iria being covered up with blood and
Bagdemagus* she seems wounded. It was found out that Iria has
proceed to the Valley of Death for feathers [which
are meant for Dryst's hat]. Ulster says that Iria
is an important leader, but Dryst says that the
blood stains are dead bird's, not Iria's...
Victoria, Ulster, Victoria finds that Iria is a bit too strong for a
Camden, Dryst* women and describes to the remaining leaders.
Later, Dryst comes in and interrupted...
Hula, Teath Hula is talking to Teath and Teath was surprised
that Hula says that Dryst is a good man. Teath
wants to confide his feelings to Hula, but yet he
just can't do it..
Victoria, Iria Victoria pays a visit to Iria in her room. Iria
is overjoyed when Victoria says that she will cry
when Iria is hurt. Yet, surprisingly Iria sheds a
drop of tears..
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*I think the sequences are not yet compeleted, I will be covering them
for the next update.

C A S T L E S O F I S C A L I O
........................................................................
Name of Castle: Xanas Income: 236
Summon List: Pixie, Mandrake, Clay Golem, Dragon
Status: Three castle path. This castle is the choke point for
Iscalio. Prevent attacks from Esgares and Caerleon.
Name of Castle: Asten Income: 203
Summon List: G-Scorpion, Jinn, Centaur, Giant
Status: Another three-castle path. This castle is another
choke point and prevent attacks from Leonia and
Esgares.
Name of Castle: Letishnote Income: 208
Summon List: Jinn, Merman, Unicorn, Giant
Status: A two-castle path that leads to Xanas and Caelsent.
Name of Castle: Bronceliande Income: 253

Status: A two-castle path, that leads to Asten and Caelsent.
Name of Castle: Caelsent Income: 424
Summon List: Ghoul, Lizard Man, Centaur, Hellhound, Mandrake,
Wyvern, Roc.
Status: Captial of Iscalio. High income make it worth to
defend. It is the core of Iscalio.
Name of Castle: Lothian Income: 202
Summon list: Ghoul, Lizard Man, Hellhound, Hydra.
Status: A backyard castle, no importance in geographical
position.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firstly, take a strike at Hadrian at Leonia and attack with 2 parties.
Stationed a party for Xanas and Hadrian each. Just send Dryst, Camden
and Iria to attack Leonia. Do take the castle of Humber yet as Norgard
is a huge country, more tougher with Vaynard and Guinglain. There
is one bad thing for Iscalio, that is there is no Knight whom is going
to join you freely, just like Millia of Caerleon. You can only obtained
new Rune Knights through quests. With sufficient manpower, attempt to
take Karnabone, Salisbury and Hervery. Have Camden and Ulster to attack
Caerleon. Capturing Hervey will greatly decreases the income of
Caerleon and attack Linnuis and Squest and you will be able to finish
Caerleon. Now advance your attacks on New Almekia until, you have
captured Phazard and invade Toria and Oltroute. Invading Toria will
causing Esgares to split up and will make Norgard and New Almekia to
invade Esgares. So seize the opportunity and get Aldis on your side.
As New Almekia's attention is drawn away, attack Calmary and Camelford
and this will weaken New Almekia in addition of Norgard's attacks.
With Norgard's attention being drawn to Esgares start attack Humber
and take the castle of Jukes and Senadon. Dealt the finishing blow
on Esgares and you will have no problem in defeating the other two. PS:
Take note of the stupid war between Dryst and his partners after they
have defeat all countries.
Tips on using Iscalio:
- Dryst can become Super Tryant [he will gain new clothing, new attacks
and a new spell, Meteor Doom] once he gets to level 30.
- Lucia has been upset over an accident and hence send for her quest.
Once you have the cut-scene where she meets the boy that she has
causes the boy to be crippled. After a year or so, send her for a
quest again and she will be relieved that the boy will be able to walk
once again. She regains her ability with STR +3, INT +3, AGI +3, Rune
Power +30!
- Miguel can recruit Castor and Liguel, who are his siblings. He can get
Liguel automatically [once met in battle] if Castor has joined
Iscalio.
- You can find more about Iria's past by defeating Esgares and have her
met Cador and Halley. She is a failure product....
- Badgemagus requires to get level 22 in order to use Curse spell. There
is another method and that's to get Magic Potion via questing. Iria
needs another level to use Holy Word.
- Dryst is quite weak as compared to other generals except Prince Lance.
He does not have a area-based spell unless he gets to Lv 30. Hence
have Ulster and Camden to give him a lending hand.
- To recruit Aldis, have one country to defeat two others and Aldis will
join you. I have gotten her when Esgares defeat Caerleon and New
Almekia....

Iria
Level 20 Valkyrie. Rune Power: 248. Age: 28

Just a level from this class and you can use the Holy Word [here is a

elemental.

Lyoneese: Leonia Walkthrough
========================================================================
Now I have reached the fifth ruler, Lyoneese. This country is "hardiest"
to use as Queen Lyoneese has only one Level 20 general and that's
Paternus. The country may be weak but you can defend it well, but
guarding the castles at it's borders [Damas and Hadrian]. There is
another point, that is the only one castle that allows you to summon

Name of Castle: Damas Income: 201
Summon List: G-Scorpion, Jinn, Centaur, Gryhon
Status: Prevent Norgard invasions from the north
Name of Castle: Whislind Income: 226

Status: A castle in three-castle path. Provides route to
Tallas and Damas.
Name of Castle: Keliluans Income: 195

Status: A castle in two-castle path. Provides route to
Tallas and Damas.
Name of Castle: Tallas Income: 391

acceptable.

summons Dragon
Name of Castle: Hadrian Income: 249
Summon List: Jinn, Unicorn, Clay Golem, Roc

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Station all your forces at Damas, Glume and Hadrian. At the fourth
month, Lyoneese will meet Vaynard and Leonia will become an enemy with
Norgard.
At about the next month, Galonwand and Baleen will joins you. This
country is rather weak. Get Paternus, Isfas and Sophia or Filo and
attack Asten, hopefully that it's defence is loose. As you have occupied
Asten, attack down the row and advance to backyard castle with 2
parties, the other with Kiloph, Charlene and Lyonnese, while the rest at
Damas. Have your troops comprises of Rocs and Centaurs. This may work
on Hard and you should be able to defeat Iscalio for the most in five
years time. Station a decent force at Xanas and Asten while the rest
go for quest and hopefully you can get Rune Knights and Georg whom is
an Ex-Leonia Knight. Continue and concentrate on training Lyoneese and
get Hydras in your force [that's Lothian] and send them to Damas. With
Hydras in your arsenal, you can defeat Humber [hopefully that Norgard
is greatly weaken during that five years]. Attack and take the castle of
Jukes and Senadon and you will create confusions for Norgard and it
should be heavily wounded by Esgares and New Almekia. Seize the
opportunities and dealt the finishing blow. After Norgard had been
defeated, continue attack those castle in the south continent. Take
Hervey and do not attack Baynock! With sufficient manpower, start to
attack New Almekia [about 3 years] and advance until you have reach
BaydonHill. Now cover as many Esgares castles as possible and you will
be to defeat Esgares. Do more quests and get all the Ex-Esgares Knights
to your side and you should have no problem in defeating Caerleon.

R U N E K N I G H T S O F L E O N I A
........................................................................
Isfras
Level 16 Monk. Rune Power: 233. Age: 27
Equipment: n/a
Probably your second best bet after Paternus. He is just 4 levels from
the Guardian status. He is a monk that focus on his training. He
seldoms talks....
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charlene
Level 12 Lancer. Rune Power: 226. Age: 28
Equipment: Ice Javelin.
Just 3 stars to reach the EXPERT! status. She has pretty high Rune
Power and is a great fight even though she is a lady...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Langueborg
Level 10 Cavalier. Rune Power: 138. Age: 21
Equipment: n/a
This guy is extremely weak with such a low Rune Power. Plus he is the
only Cavalier. Well, this character seems a bit werido as he challenges
to the Silent Wise King for a battle... He has invented a strategy
called "Lightning"...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Filo
Level 7 Cleric. Rune Power: 193. Age: 18
Equipment: n/a
Just 3 levels from reaching the Lector/Mystic class. She is other
friend of Sophia. Change her to Enchantress Class, so that she can
acquired Geno-Frost.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sophia
Level 7 Cleric. Rune Power: 174. Age: 18
Equipment: n/a
Just 3 levels from reaching the Lector/Mystic class. Change her to the
Enchantress Class, so that she can acquired Geno-Frost. She seems to
linked a person called "Wiseman Solon"...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kiloph:
Level 3 Barbarian. Rune Power: 203. Age: 17
Equipment: n/a
He is very high Rune Power, even he is just a level 3 Barbarian. Just 3
stars for gaining EXPERT in Barbarian. Deadly when he has attained
high levels to other classes. I guess he may be the guy who who has the
highest Rune Power for Leonia.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lyoneese
Level 3 Queen. Rune Power: 262. Age: 17
Equipment: n/a
She has second highest Rune Power in Leonia plus she has acquired Holy
Word, but has very low HP. She was an ordinary girl who has been
selected as the oracle. [Vaynard says she is an oracle and Leonia will
not be an easy country to handle...]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paternus
Level 20 Cardinal. Rune Power: 273. Age: 42
Equipment: Gravity Mace
Obviously the best warrior for Leonia. Cardinals are strong as they have
Holy Word and they can use Area Heal. Paternus seems to be a secondary
advisor for Lyoneese.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asmit
Level 13 Bishop. Rune Power: 214. Age: 29
Equipment: Almighty Ring
Just 2 stars from reaching EXPERT in Bishop. He is known as the "Perfect
Man". He has been the chief advisor for Leonia.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chantail
Level 6 Mage. Rune Power: 168. Age: 28
Equipment: n/a
Just 4 levels from Sorcerer or Druid class. But his Low Rune Power makes
him weaker compared to other magic users.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Raizen
Level 11 Monk. Rune Power: 180. Age: 26
Equipment: Rivet Knuckle
Just 4 stars to reach EXPERT! in Monk class. He has considerable high
MP which could makes him more better Rune Knight to the Mage series.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Galonwand
Level 2 Barbarian. Rune Power: 157. Age: 20
Equipment: n/a
He is just 4 stars from reaching EXPERT! in Barbarian. Of course, he
has very high chance of approaching level 10. He is an old friend of
Kiloph and Baleen. BTW, he loves someone in the country of the Leonia.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baleen
Level 1 Archer. Rune Power: 187. Age: 21
Equipment: n/a
She is an old friend of Kiloph and she secretly loves Kiloph... She has
considerable high Rune Power compared to other early level Rune Knights.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Georg
Level 8 Priest. Rune Power: 177. Age: 30
A former Leonia Knight who has retired due to the death of his wife,
Rierre. This causes him in drunken stupor. Gain more two levels to reach
Bishop. He can get Rierre's Ring when questing later, which is a special
accessory.

========================================================================
Miscellaneous
========================================================================
These are observed in different difficulty levels.
1. The nations become smarter in their attacks and defense. They
will not leave the key castles such as Camelford undefended and
will only advance cautinously.
2. During battlefields, the enemies will stay in place and would not
rushes forward towards your troops, unless you approach them OR
they got attacked. Normally, you need to get as close as 4 hex
towards opposition army, before you can start to fight them.
3. The snake of chaos' interval will be changed based on the level
difficulty.
4. At hard diffculty mode, you can fight Bulnoil after defeating ALL
countries, if you met the below requirements. He is rather tough
as he has one of the most deadly spells plus Cador on his side. So
be prepared for a tough fight.
5. Esgares will always have their lord along with Soleil [well, for
my case, Esgares always use Soleil to defend their last castle due
to his High Rune Power.]
Proof and Requirements
- Bulnoil's class is known as Claimer [LV 30!] and this is proven by
gameshark. How? Refer to the Gameshark codes section for more
details.
- It is possible if you had defeat Esgares Empire last. [Remember the
time where he always attacks the ruler after the fall of Esgares?]
- Incidents:
New Almekia - Sequence after Halley decide to left. It is possible to
combat him before Halley leaves you.
- Upon defeating Esgares last
- After the quest sequence, where Halley visits his
boyfriend's grave. [this gives you additional sequence/
special ending, BTW, Halley must meet up with Cador in
combat] (applies to after defeating Esgares). You may
get the chance to see Iria if Halley has encounter Iria
during her one-year service.
- Upon meeting up with Iria, Halley has stumbled. Halley
and Iria must be meet during battle.
Norgard - Upon defeating Esgares last.
- the attempt to assassinate Vaynard and Brangien at
Flogeru cementary.
Leonia - Upon defeating Esgares last.
- the attempt to assasinate Lyonesse at the hall of Damas.
Caerleon - Upon defeating Esgares last
- the attempt to kidnap Merriot by Cador. Merriot will
stays wounded until you win a country.
Iscalio - Upon defeating Esgares last
- Iria got "brain-washed" by Bulnoil and attempts to kill
Dryst.
- Bulnoil reveals Iria regarding her starring past.
- Iria has a short conversation with Shooting Star Halley.
The name of the place where Bulnoil summons the Snake of Chaos,
Ouroboros is known as Dolorousgard, which is found at Logres. Remember
the place where Cador has a speech in persauding Zemeckis for
corruption?
______
/ 10.1 \________________________________________________________________
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bulnoil Information
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A man of endless desire. He is the person, who has instigate Zemeckis
to betray King Henguist, Lance's father. At the battle of Lidney, he
has stopped King Doremiditt, Brangien's father. As you defeat Esgares,
he will appear and tries to kill the ruler. It seems to me that Cador
will leave Zemeckis if Esgares is down to one castle. Bulnoil will
fight you in the final battle, along with Cador on his side, so be
prepared for a tough fight....
I myself have battled against Bulnoil when using Norgard and Iscalio.
I have defeated the Hard mode with New Almekia, Leonia and Caerleon but
there is still no sign of fighting against Bulnoil.
Okay, here is the "suggested" possible steps to battle Bulnoil:
[it is still not confirmed yet..]
1) You must encountered all the necessary sequences (mentioned above)
2) The Ruler must reach LV 30. [I have check my previous saved game
files where I have seen my LV 30 Vaynard and LV 30 Dryst (he has
acquired Super Tryant!) and that's the reason while I fought him.
The best stats that I could reached with Lance is Level 22 [that's
without gameshark]
3) You must defeat all countries.
4) You must defeat Esgares last (?). If you defeat Esgares last, you
can forget about the sequences mentioned above.
______
/ 10.2 \________________________________________________________________
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cador Information
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A man who is already dead and was ressurrected by Bulnoil. Cador's
actual name is Leland, Halley's boyfriend. Halley has been searching
for Bulnoil whom has killed her boyfriend. Towards the end, Halley
will take the sword from Leland's grave and finally fight the last
battle. Leland regains consicious and instigate Halley to break the
mask ....... [applies if Halley meet Cador in combat]

Special Rune Knights
------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: The following Rune Knights can't be recruited.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shred: Shred was in jail under the Main Castle until it was overtook,
When the empire retook the castle he has no choice but to join
the Empires army. Level 20 Champion. Equip: Ogre Knuckle.
Rune Power: 160. Age: 34.
More about Shred:
I don't think that you can use him as Esgares. Shred was one of the
generals that against the rebellion and was captured by Cador. Upon the
fall of Logres [Cador left the country when it is under 3 castles],
Shred will be released and hence joins the Empires replacing Cador as
one of the top four generals. Shred will join another country when
Esgares Empire falls.
[This information was sent by Frank Mantis.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Helrato: Level 20 Avenger, An one-eyed Avenger whom seeks revenge on
Layoneil and has a mean sword. Equip: Tyrhung. Age: 32
Rune Power: 190. Joins another country along with 2 Fenrirs
He has a rant sequence when he meets Layoneil in a battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kazan: Level 15 Ninja. Fellow disciple of Shiraha. Joins another
country after Shiraha joins you. Rune Power: 179. Age: 24
Join the other country with a Bronze Golem and a Dao. Equip:
AntiMagic Ring.
"SPOILERS!" - Why Kazan joins the war!
If you have him fight with Shiraha, you will get this rant. Kazan wants
to kill Shiraha as he has causes the death of their fellow disciple,
Sakura and that's the reason why Shiraha wants to end the war.

________________________________________________________________________
BRIGANDINE TIP
I just started playing Brigandine and my choice is Leonia (didn't know
that the country was the weakest of all). Starting off was really slow
going because I got intimidated by high level Rune Knights and monsters
like Dryst and his Bahamut (Iscalio), Vaynard and his White Dragon
(Nogard) and Cai along with his pal, Dinadan (Caerleon). Seeing their
18+ levels had me retreating constantly. Levels of the monsters/Rune
Knights alone does not matter that much, it was the stats that count.
This sounds kinda basic but I found that even a low level monster can
outfight a high level knight on the strength of good stats and numbers.
LOW AGILITY MONSTERS TIP
For Golems, avoid fighting monsters that have 30 or more agility points
as they will miss most of the attacks. Halo increases the chance of
hitting to 100% though besides the big experience bonus. This applies to
other low agility monsters.
KIDNAPPING MONSTERS 100% RATE
I have discovered a way of kidnapping enemy monsters with a 100% success
rate (so far as I've seen). I have managed to kidnapped the Vampire Lord
form Esgares with a lowly Rune Knight while battling against Gish. I
have also kidnapped an Archangel from Dindan and a Couatl from Roadbull
and both times with Paternus. The key is to charm the enemy monster and
then defeat it's commanding knight. This is great against enemies with
lots of muscle but a little brain like that Vampire Lord (he has a high
intelligence stats of 38). This lets weak knights to turn tables over
the strong foes and you can get a good monster to boot. Use Fairies as
they can mesemerize an opponent when they hit with the magic stick.
________________________________________________________________________
2. Questions regarding Bulnoil
________________________________________________________________________
Well, in order to prevent too much e-mails flooding I could say that the
method to fight Bulnoil is mentioned under Bulnoil's information. The
method is still not confirmed yet!
________________________________________________________________________
3. Easy Victory using Leonia from Minrhael
________________________________________________________________________
I've gotten tired of seeing Leonia ripped in all the FAQs out there as
being too hard to win with on the hard setting, so here's how ya do it
easily:
First off, pretend none of your characters have "Area Heal" spell
except in emergency circumstances. The key to winning with Leonia is
"Holy Word". At the beginning of the game, send Paternus, Isfas, and
Charlene up to take the first city from Norgard (Humber). Then hold.
Ignore Norgard for a long time, just keep those three there defending
and you can hold off Norgard forever. The rest of the troops should
be questing for extra knights, then Iscalio will fall quickly to the
holy power of Leonia, from there on out it's just mop-up, as the
Esgares Empire has far too many evil troops to stand up to Leonia, and
by the time you've gotten to them, New Almekia, Caerleon, and Norgard
are way to far behind in power.
The key to winning the battles with the other groups is in the
formation. Essentially, you want your formation to be a half-circle.
Put a phoenix in the middle, and use it's special ability to area
heal. In front of the phoenix should be Lyonesse and two other
Rune Knights or Archangels that can cast "Holy Word". In front of
these three you need 5 creatures; I usually use Gryhons and Holy
Griffons, but any high hit point creature will do, although I
don't like Golems there. Round out the formation with whatever you want;
unicorns/pegasus are a good choice of course, and pixies aren't bad.
It takes careful set-up to get this formation in place before your
enemy attacks you, but once you get the hang of it, you just have to
wait until the creatures are massed all around you, use holy word
several times (after the first couple of levels, Lyonesse can use it
twice, as can archangels) and everything will be nearly dead. Use
divine ray to finish off an enemy knight if you're in danger of not
winning. You don't end up killing a lot of enemy monsters this way, but
you do take a lot of territory by forcing the enemy to retreat, and
they run out of mana so you win by attrition.
The key to getting built up is Angels. You need several Archangels,
and they're not that hard to get. Just make sure they get the
finishing blow on high level enemy leaders; Dryst is a perfect target
and provides lots of experience. Using the halo spell also helps, of
course. Once they're Archangels, holy word provides all the experience
you could want.
I can beat the map with Leonia on the hard difficulty setting by the
end of the third year every time, and usually faster. Not once since I
figured out the formations has a game gone more than 3 years, and I
play a lot. There's no luck involved, you just have to think of Leonia
as an offensive rather than a defensive spell casting country. Leonia
gets a bad rap as being the hardest country to win with, in actuality
it is the easiest. I can't beat the map anywhere near as fast with any
other country.
Any questions or clarifications you want, feel free to write.
Minrhael.

Sending a Question
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This problem has given me much problems from my previous FAQs. I have
tried my best to answer when possible. Also don't ask me questions which
answers can be found in the FAQ. First of all, read the following before
sending an e-mail to Scott:
- remember to add in "Brigandine" as your subject in the subject field
of the e-mail. I have gotten countless e-mails for FF8 and it will
help me if you classified it with the game titles.
- Next state your question as clearly as possible. If I find the e-mail
quite hard to understand, I really don't know how to help it.
- Make sure that words are not in CAPS lock [capital letters], which is
quite rude, anywhere it doesn't matter to me. But try to avoid it
when necessary. Once I got really in a bad mood that I delete all
e-mails that written in CAPS lock..
- If a question is too frequently asked, I will add it to the FAQ under
frequently-asked section.
- Don't expect me to give answers which can be found in the FAQ. Or it
will be useless for me to type it out so concisely.
- If you have problems in locating a shop/building, refer to the Maps
section to settle out those problems.
- BTW, unlike other FAQ writers, I have only one motive and that's to
help you guys out there by writting the FAQ as concise as possible. [
in order to give the help that I could]. Well, the FAQ can be proved
by judging the amount of e-mails.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most Frequently Asked Questions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- READ THIS BEFORE SENDING AN E-MAIL. Well, I do accept complaints and
comments for my FAQs. I would prefer complaints as it allows me to
know what changes can be done for the FAQ. If you have a comments,
free to drop an e-mail. [it helps to urge me on!]
Q: Can I post the FAQ for your website?
A: Sure as long as the following steps are followed:
- the disclaimer, including my name and format of the document is not
altered.
- No changes should not be made to the FAQ.
- No HTMLizing of document unless permission granted from the author,
as this is same as editing the document.
- If you link to GameFAQs, don't link it directly to the FAQ, instead
link it to the Brigandine FAQ database at GameFAQs.
Q: Where can I get the latest revisions of the FAQ?
A: At GameFAQs. If you want your site to be added to the addresses where
this FAQ can be gotten, you need to seek permission from me.
Q: Can you sent me the FAQ?
A: No. Otherwise, I would not have to post it to GameFAQs. Remember that
this FAQ is a bit too huge to be posted via e-mail. Remember that you
need to get the latest revisions yourself at GameFAQs.
(http://www.gamefaqs.com)
I know that some guys out there have problems in access to Internet
due to personal reasons. But it can't be helped. Anyway, you can
always count on a friend to get it for you. I felt quite sorry for
WebTV users as they can access a maximum of 170 Kbs. Don't worry, I
will try my best to keep this file small. Or I may spilt the FAQ in
separate FAQs.
Q: What other FAQs that you have written?
A: Quite a lot, you can check it out at my Contributor page anyway.
Q: Why you haven't answered my e-mail?
A: There perhaps may be a few reasons:
- school [I still got tons of assignments/projects/tests]
- the answer can be found in the FAQ [if you haven't received the
e-mail for two weeks]. I always check my e-mail during weekends/
holidays, unless I am really busy for that week.
- Other things may coped up.
Note that if you can't contact me, feel free to contact other FAQ
writers for the particular game. But I will be free most of the time
during school breaks.
- I may be busying playing the game to uncover more secrets.
