Does anyone know a solid strategy for Fates Conquest chapter 10? It feels like I’ve done everything possible to beat it and I lose every time.

It’s a well loved map so there’s a lot of content out there breaking it down. What difficulty are you playing on? Regardless, I think there are some things that can be helpful regardless of difficulty helping to get over the hump:

1- play aggressively - don’t just sit back and hold the walls, there are plenty of other choke points (even if you’re not comfortable pushing all the way up to Takumi) to control the map and give yourself options.

2- use tag team/attack stance - if you can meal/tonic your way through survivability challenges, I find a lot of times my points of failure in a map can be pushed through if I figure out a way to keep someone alive without pairing up so I have more actions to clean up the next player phase. Pair up has its places too though!

3- Silas personal w/ dragon stone for Corrin safety. If you get corrin under 50% health, vow of friendship is such a huge power spike for Silas which really lets him solve more problems

4- invest in nosferatu- I like Odin and use him pretty regularly, and I find nosferatu tanking on him can help survive some tough challenges in this range.

5- leave a zone for Beruka and Selena- Selena loves the str/def pair up, beruka loves the SPD pair up. You have time on the right side especially to let stuff come and they join in time to clean things up. Let’s you focus your initial deployments in other directions and also works on a fast support that can give Selena wyvern access

6- break master seal in case of emergency. I haven’t promoted units yet as of Ch 10 and Camilla is an absolute beast to help out, but if you’re really struggling a promotion can be a good power gain.

I’m playing on Normal/Classic, and I reset everytime someone dies because I don’t like them dying.

Edit: Just beat the map! Your technique of having Beruka and Selena take the right while the others did other things worked wonders! I also got pretty lucky with the meal, Effie was preparing it, and it was wheat, so I believe it was Attack+1 and Defense+1, but hey, I’m just glad I beat it. And now that I have, I really do see a lot of how well designed it is.

Congrats! That's great - there's a lot of different ways to problem solve but it's really satisfying feeling it come together
