Notes:
The Arms Scroll gives Micaiah A staves and allows her to use Rescue, which I employ once in the strategy.

Let me say first that I reloaded this chapter until both wind sages on the left side had 25 AS (the level 14 one in particular is likely to have 26 AS) and the generals directly below and above Tibarn's ending position on turn 1 could be cleanly 2HKO'd. I also could have reloaded until the Blizzard wind sage had 26 res instead of 28 (for +10 hit on Sleep) and one of the generals that Tibarn counters on turn 1 enemy phase has 50 HP, 31 def, but this is good enough.

This strategy requires a lot of reliance on skill activations, because Tibarn, Naesala, and Nailah cannot naturally 2HKO most generals. Against most generals, Nailah, Naesala, and Tibarn need to proc one of Adept or their masteries (Tibarn cleanly 2HKOs most generals that he faces already). Against the cover generals, Tibarn needs to proc either 2 Adepts or Tear to ORKO, and Naesala needs to proc Tear to ORKO. The relevant breakdown is as follows:

Nailah (best biorhythm): 56% savage, 48% adept - 94.8% chance of ORKO
Naesala (good biorhythm): 47% tear, 47% adept - 92.1% chance of ORKO
Naesala (neutral biorhythm): 42% tear, 42% adept - 88.7% chance of ORKO, 74.0% chance or ORKO (cover)
Tibarn (worst biorhythm): 30% tear, 30% adept - 76% chance of ORKO, 61.6% chance of ORKO (cover)

Naesala goes into neutral biorhythm on turn 2.

This map can be 3 turned with this team; however, it requires Tibarn and Naesala to ORKO all of the cover generals that they face on turn 2, which collectively has about a 12.8% chance to happen. This is on top of all of the other chance based occurrences in the chapter, which involves, basically, Naesala dodging a 25 hit (12.75 true hit) OHKO from the Double Bow sniper on turn 1, Bastian putting the Blizzard wind sage to sleep (2 possible attempts at 69 and 77 hit), Nailah, Naesala, and Tibarn ORKOing all generals they face on turn 1 enemy phase (roughly 62.9% chance), and Naesala ORKOing Lekain on turn 2 (88.7% chance). The 4 turn strategy has around a 45.2% chance of success; the 3 turn strategy has around 5.8% chance of success. Needless to say, I don't have the patience to rerecord a strategy that works less than 1 in 17 tries.

1:37: Bastian moves next to Ena for Blood Tide, which is +5 to his staff accuracy. Not nearly as good as White Pool's +5 mag, but any boost is welcome.
1:49: The Shine Barriers provide exactly the number of safe spaces in which I need to hide my units on turn 1.
2:19: Micaiah has Stillness. It doesn't affect Hetzel's Silence, but the nearby generals will just walk right past her, despite her being well within OHKO range and without a weapon. Hetzel's next best target would be Caineghis with Sleep, and I can't have that happen.
6:07: It's hilarious how Caineghis doesn't even need Parity to 2HKO this general.
9:55: I should have planned this Vigor formation better, because I could have KO'd all of the bishops on player phase if I had included Volke and Renning in the formation.

Sweet. I liked how you handled Hetzel on turn 1 by making him nullify Micaiah instead of putting one of the royals to sleep, and the use of Volke and Renning for 2 range through the gap was also unexpected.
