Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes 'Win the Eltisweiss siege' Tactics guide

You can immediately have a rematch if you lose this battle in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, so don’t worry. It won’t affect the main storyline. However, to win the first time, follow this strategy. 

There are a couple of important things to note at the start of the battle:

  • You cannot move into the gate space at the start of the game. 
  • You cannot move sideways if you’re in a wall space.
  • You’ll lose the battle if an enemy unit ends its turn in one of the three spaces your units start the battle in

Start the battle by first setting Nowa and Ymir to move forward and Sabine to hold her ground. You’ll want her to defend the center but she can’t move directly forward. There won’t be any combat yet.

Do nothing! Sabine still can’t move forward, and there’s no need to move your other units forward. You need to defend your position, so leaving gaps between your units is not advisable. Your units should easily repel the attacks made against them.

You’ll have inflicted some nice damage on both flanks but don’t be tempted to move forward. Instead, hold your ground and move Sabine forward into the wreckage of the gates. Once again your units should easily repel the attackers, although Ymir will suffer some losses.

Now that Nowa has a strong advantage on your right flank, advance with him to finish that enemy unit off. Leave Sabine and Ymir in defensive positions where they are. They’ll take damage but hold their ground, with Ymir also taking down one of the enemy units.

Now it’s time to press home the advantage. Move forward and attack on all sides to finish them off. Congratulations on winning your first siege! Unfortunately, no matter what you do, you’ll still need to retreat after the battle when reinforcements arrive, but you won the battle, if not the war.
