Xander's Cavalry Quest

I'm actually having trouble with this one. My main team is Xander and Camus running Fortify Cavalry, with B!Lyn and Priscilla running Hone Cavalry. The issue is the Keen Gronnwolf Unit. I can't seem to find a good method to run this. Admittedly, I'm trying to run it like I did with Infantry, placing Xander on the upper right on the other side of the wall in front of the Green Tome Unit. He tanks the sword and destroys the tome, but he cannot survive a hit from the cavalry.

How did everyone else do it? I've got tons of other units, like Ursula, Cecilia, Titania, Siegbert, Sigurd, and most 4*, though only those listed actually are completed.

Tried distant def seal and/or triangle adept on Xander?

I suppose I could spare a Roy. I hate to do that as I was trying to save up to +10 him assuming he'd be getting a better weapon sometime this year, but it is only one.

TA Xander with full buffs out of range of enemy Xander at the start of the fight to tank the mages and sword unit, killing each on the counter, is crucial.

Mm. I don't know how to KO the Sword Unit. I'm pretty sure he lived with a tiny amount after Bonfire. I'll fiddle around. I might have to give him Vantage and run QR for the Seal. Ugh, I've only got 2 Lon'qu left. :(

Ignis and QR was the big factor too.

My Xander had Vantage, QR3 seal, and Draconic Aura (although I imagine Bonfire would work as well), and if you place him in that spot beneath the green mage, place a unit with Goad Cavalry around the corner (so that Xander would still be affected by it), and let the AI do its work, you'll have gotten rid of both green mages, and left Xander with around 29ish health. The rest, I suppose, is on you.

+atk -hp, ta2 and sworbreaker needed for xander. Any blade/wolf mage with swordbreaker

+res -spd. Make sure he doesnt double the blue lancer to not charge his special. Heavy blade and miracle can be changed to anything. +atk seal if minus atk. Miracle is not required so ur choice

+res -atk -dont matter

This one was pretty tough, and unfortunately I think people have only been able to beat it with fully SI'ed out horse teams. The important pieces seem to be TA Xander/Sigurd to tank the green mages and enemy Xander, Ursula/Reinhardt to kill the Xander, and 2 others to take care of the rest (B!Lyn is a popular choice here). I would also recommend switching out Camus' fortify buff for his native goad cav buff to avoid that annoying panic ploy. I also ended up putting G tomebreaker on my B!lyn to ORKO a green mage, though the situation is probably different for you. Best of luck.

Nah, Xander's positioning doesn't allow for him to debuff anyone important before dying. Xander the green tomes, then retreats. Sword lives. Camus moves in to attack Xander, Priscilla follows up for the KO. Lance attacks Camus, Staff and Sword move in. Priscilla kills Lance, B!Lyn attacks Sword, Camus finishes him off. Staff attacks Camus and is killed on counter. But thank you for the advice! It really was pretty tough figuring it out.

Success!

Running Goad actually had the AI run very differently and I actually died, so I went back to my old setup. TA on Xander was all I needed, along with some serious smart plays on my part. This, of course, only after spending feathers and SP on SI.

Thank you everyone, for the help!

I feel you on that. I needed to get a bit of guidance when it came out as well. But if you have the necessary parts, you can beat it.

I've got a max merge DC Sigurd. He basically cleaned house, while B!Lyn and Cecilia picked up the Lance unit. And I brought Reinhardt along just in case.
