There are a LOT of reinforcements on this map. It's nothing I can't handle, but still. This ends up taking a bit longer than I expected because I forgot how many of them there are. Mopping them up isn't just a "move guys once, enemy phase suicide, yay" procedure. It's okay though because it lets Nolan gain some more levels. And Edward too. I'll have to compare him and Mia to see who gets to come to the grand finale with me. Maybe even both. In the meantime, Oliver recruits himself. It kind of saddens me that I won't get to see his amusing pre-battle conversations with some of the bosses in the tower. I do have him talk with Ike though, just because Ike's line "Look...would you mind rejoining the enemy?" is worth seeing.
One of the reinforcement sages has Meteor. You can't believe how much that pisses me off. Good thing I have battle saves, because that sniped Vika down. Not that I care about her, but I kind of want to recruit everyone (well, besides the two secret characters I'm already locked out of because they're either too much work or because I don't like them) and keep them alive. Other than that it's not too threatening a group, there's just way too damn many of them.
Still a fun chapter, even if the hordes of reinforcements slow it down some at the end. Only one more to go before we enter the Endgame series!
Yet another oddly interesting chapter, because Tormod is absolutely useless after being somewhat useful back in Part 1, but Vika of all units is actually useful here, still doing only chip damage but dodging pretty much everything when she's in her raven form and therefore serving as a wonderful decoy, also even doing chip damage gets plenty of HP. (You probably have to give her a couple of levels via BEXP first, though, or else she won't do any damage at all. I recommend making sure she's at least level 15; skill capacity for laguz goes up at level 15 and again at level 30.)
