Yggdra Union: Map 9 Part 3 - Luring Out Leon (LOL)

[Runesword234]

I highly doubt that the time of day changes a unit's critical chance, so perhaps you were merely unlucky. Other than that, you should try to avoid getting charged by Assassins anyway, since they're Night Happy which gives them an automatic O fighting status.

At 4:26, you should have unioned Milanor, then Nietzsche in, since MIlanor gets an O and Leon gets a triangle if they fight,  while Nietzsche and Leon both get a - if they fight, and Battle Penalty would've helped her.

(Again, continued due to character limit)

By "stealing Roswell's card" I assume you mean his item?

When using Ace Guard, it is usually best to have your best unit for the Ace, since they will have to suffer a charge/counter and starting with 0% gauge (you are using the card, right?). Also, Ace Guard is best used against a large group of enemies, since it has a rather low 4 MOV.

Interesting. I had thought of putting Milanor 2nd and Nietzsche 3rd like you suggested, but I was worried about Leon using Chariot against me. That and Milanor probably would've killed Leon before Nietzsche had a chance to participate, whereas here she gets some EXP as trade off for losing Morale. Sometimes it's good to sacrifice a little morale for EXP, IMO. I always end up with a gazillion extra items at the end, so might as well use them if you can get extra EXP in the process.

Also, I usually err on the cautious side, where I usually have my strongest guy have the best battle penalty just in case freak accidents happen. For example, one time I charged Leon with Milanor, and Leon completing defending my charge AND knocked Milanor to 1 guy. That's as frustrating as getting hit by a critical, and it messes up everything you had planned. Therefore, a lot of my playing is instinctive, where I always am prepared for worst case scenario.
