Post-Game Teams¶

Ten full squads to field together for post-game content on the hardest difficulty. No two squads share an item you only have one of. Every unit listed is in exactly one squad.

• Squads: your army caps at 10 units (squads), with 5 characters each.
• Class-change items: none of these squads uses one. Everyone stays in their default class.
• One start-of-battle skill per unit. Only one Limited skill that activates at the start of battle fires per squad side. If two units have one (Alain's Rapid Order, a Swordmaster's Hastened Strike, a Divine Blessing), the one you want may not go off. Each squad below says which one to keep on. Turn the others off in Tactics.
• Quick Impetus comes from the White Cat-Ear Hood and the Black Cat-Ear Hood. They do the same thing and you have one of each. It fires when an ally uses an active skill and lets that ally act again right away. On a charge skill, the ally starts charging, Quick Impetus fires, and they immediately use the big skill (Trinity Rain, Glacial Rain, Dragoon Dive) instead of waiting a turn.
• Ring of the Maiden goes on Alain's bonded partner. The squads assume that's Scarlett. If you married someone else, swap the Ring to them and give Scarlett a Lapis Pendant.
• Tactics tables list each unit's skills in priority order, top to bottom, the way they appear in the Tactics menu. Skills not listed are off.
• Test every squad in a mock battle before a hard fight. The forecast tells you whether the combo kills before the enemy acts.

The Ten Squads¶

1. Alain: Trinity Rain¶

A magic nuke that hits the whole enemy side three times before most enemies act. Yahna starts the battle with Quick Cast, Ramona's White Cat-Ear Hood lets her act again right away so the charge skips a turn, and Scarlett's Familiar's Choker adds +50% magic attack to the cast. Three hits burn through evasion passives on Thieves and Werefoxes. Alain and Celeste clean up and tank.

Start-of-battle skill: Yahna's Quick Cast. Turn off Alain's Rapid Order and Scarlett's Divine Blessing.

2. Hilda: Dragoon Dive¶

Hilda's Dragoon Dive with a fast charge. The Celestial Talisman gives her Hastened Charge, so the dive comes out on her first turn. Ochlys's Dancer's Bracelet buffs her attack before each dive, Raenys's Tailwind makes her act sooner, and Lex blocks the archers that would ground the flyers.

Start-of-battle skill: Lex's Provoke. Turn off Hilda's Dragon's Roar and Sanatio's Hastened Heal.

3. Yunifi: Glacial Rain¶

Yunifi's Glacial Rain hits every enemy three times and freezes them. It's a charge skill, so Travis's Black Cat-Ear Hood fires Quick Impetus as she starts charging and she casts it right away. Lhinalagos's Gambler's Coin gives her Inspiration (+30% attack, +50% crit damage), and her own Eagle Eye makes the hit true, so Inspiration's accuracy penalty doesn't matter. Bryce and Morard hold the front. Dispel is the hard counter to this squad, so watch for enemy Wereowls.

Start-of-battle skill: Lhinalagos's Pure Field. Turn off Travis's Sneaking Edge.

4. Virginia and Berengaria: Affliction Squad¶

Corvie Indo's squad, kept as built. Everything inflicts or punishes afflictions. Berengaria's Death Spin stuns a row and does 75% more to afflicted enemies, so she snowballs once anything is burned, frozen, stunned or blinded. Virginia tanks and smashes armor, Dinah blinds whole columns and Monica heals.

Start-of-battle skill: Berengaria's Eye of the Warrior Princess. Turn off Virginia's Iron Veil.

5. Rosalinde: Elemental Roar¶

Rosalinde's Elemental Roar ignores Magic Reflect, so this squad breaks the Radiant Knights and Sainted Knights that shut down other mages. Ithilion's Frostbrand Tome freezes the enemy for bonus damage. Ilenia carries two shields and covers the back row.

Start-of-battle skill: Rosalinde's Rage of the Faeries. Turn off Ilenia's Iron Veil.

6. Amalia: Iron Wall¶

Amalia hits whole columns or rows with Omega Shatter and Penetrate, and Hawk Eye makes her own attacks land as crits. She's slow, so Hodrick holds the line while the two Landsknechts counter every hit an ally takes with Following Slash.

Start-of-battle skill: Amalia's Provoking Wall (Champion's Towershield).

7. Bruno: Grand Smash¶

Bruno's Grand Smash hits every ground enemy and gets +50 potency at full HP. The two crowns stack AP, PP and stats on him, Gammel's Dancer's Bracelet buffs his attack, and Selvie's Cursed Swamp cuts enemy evasion by 30 so the smash lands. Fodoquia guards him and reflects magic.

Start-of-battle skill: Selvie's Cursed Swamp.

8. Gloucester: Doom Knight Cavalry¶

TitaniumLegman's Ajax squad with Gloucester as the Doom Knight. Clive and Renault use Cavalier Call before Gloucester acts, so his Dark Flame starts at +40% attack, then Knight's Pursuit follows up on everything he hits. Both carry Angel Hunter's Bucklers to block flyers. Eltolinde heals and buffs the squad, and Miriam shields it from magic.

Start-of-battle skill: Eltolinde's Boon of the Faeries.

9. Gilbert and Nina: Breakers¶

Nina gets extra actions from both Gilbert and Primm and hits like a truck. Gilbert's Rapid Order speeds the squad up, his orders make Nina's hits true strikes with more attack, and his Gambler's Coin passes Inspiration to her. Nigel and Mordon tank and add damage.

Start-of-battle skill: Gilbert's Rapid Order.

10. Four Horsemen: Cavalry Rush¶

A fast cavalry squad that covers ground quickly. Three riders in the front, Fran's Gryphon in the back for flyers, and Tatiana to keep them healed.

Start-of-battle skill: none needed.

Bench¶

Everyone else: Chloe, Aubin, Rolf, Auch, Kitra, Melisandre, Colm, Leah, Aramis, Liza, Ridiel, Umerus, Millé, Elgor, Alcina, Gailey, Hermann, Beaumont, Laurent, Govil and Bertrand.

Good swaps:

• Chloe (Sergeant) for Celeste in squad 1. Her Keen Call guarantees a crit on Trinity Rain, which makes up for Quick Cast's crit loss.
• Liza (Shieldshooter) with Skiron's Shield for Lex in squad 2. Hastened Cover makes the ally she covers act right away, so a covered Hilda dives immediately.
• Aubin (Viking) in squad 4 or 8. His defense shred counts as a debuff, which powers up Dark Flame and Death Spin.

Unique Items¶

Items you only have one of, and who holds them.

Pendants and Medallions¶

Other repeated items (Sage's Hood, Royal Scarf, Elite Beret, Blue Spectacles, Meteorite weapons, Citadel Guard's Sabatons and so on) can be bought in late-game shops, so you can hold more than one.

Other Strong Post-Game Teams¶

Full builds of well-known community squads. These are alternatives, not extra slots: most share characters and unique items with the ten squads above, so swap one in by breaking up the squad it borrows from. Where a source used a generic unit, the build below uses one of your named characters of the same class.

Hilda Dragoon Dive (89 Games)¶

The original version of squad 2. Raenys goes first with the Raven Plume, her Tailwind after Photon Arrow speeds up the back row (double for flyers), and Hilda dives next with Hastened Charge. Amalia's Dancer's Bracelet adds +30% attack to the dive. Ochlys and Raenys dodge-tank, and Rosalinde cleans up and can still fire Elemental Roar at the end of the battle.

Start-of-battle skill: none. Hilda's Hastened Charge isn't Limited. Turn off Rosalinde's Rage of the Faeries and Hilda's Dragon's Roar.

Hilda and Primm (Varsona)¶

Hilda as a bulky evasive front-liner who attacks three to five times a battle. Primm's Lyrical Wand feeds her AP, Liza's Skiron's Shield gives Hastened Cover (whoever she covers acts right away), and Fodoquia reflects the magic that wyverns are weak to. Auch adds magic damage and conferral.

Start-of-battle skill: none needed. Turn off Hilda's Dragon's Roar.

Hilda Lightning Shaker (Corvie Indo)¶

Hilda gets AP from both Primm and Chloe, and every Lightning Shaker is a true strike thanks to the Heavenwyvern Reins. Chloe's Keen Call makes it a guaranteed crit. Yunifi charges two Blade Dances to reach 100% crit, then Lex's Inspiration adds +50% crit damage to her Glacial Rain.

Start-of-battle skill: none needed.

Trinity Rain (TitaniumLegman)¶

The classic Trinity Rain combo, nearly the same as squad 1. Chloe's Keen Call replaces Celeste and guarantees the crit that Quick Cast takes away. Ramona's Limited Heal and Scarlett's healing cover the rare battle where the rain doesn't finish.

Start-of-battle skill: Yahna's Quick Cast. Turn off Alain's Rapid Order and Scarlett's Divine Blessing. Turn off any barrier on Ramona that could use up the PP she needs for Quick Impetus.

Trinity Rain (89 Games)¶

Mordon holds the White Cat-Ear Hood and Sanatio holds the Familiar's Choker. After the rain, Rolf, Dinah and Mordon clean up anything left, and Sanatio heals.

Start-of-battle skill: Yahna's Quick Cast.

Alain Multi-Nuke (Varsona)¶

Yahna casts Trinity Rain twice. Scarlett's Lips's Ring gives Hastened Action so Yahna acts first, Ramona's Quick Impetus skips the charge, and the Magia Soul's Recast fires it again. Celeste hits the back row early as a second nuke. If the enemy has a Feathershield with Reflect Magic, point Hastened Action at Celeste instead so the physical nuke goes first.

Start-of-battle skill: Scarlett's Hastened Action. Turn off Alain's Rapid Order and Yahna's Quick Cast.

Glacial Rain (89 Games)¶

Yunifi's plumes push her initiative to about 60, Travis's Black Cat-Ear Hood skips the charge, and Govil's Inspiration adds +30% attack and +50% crit damage. Berengaria, Govil and Gloucester punish the frozen, blinded enemies afterward.

Start-of-battle skill: Berengaria's Eye of the Warrior Princess. Turn off Travis's Sneaking Edge.

Give Yunifi blindness immunity (Watchman's Lantern in place of a plume) against Featherbows.

Glacial Rain with Conferral (Iced Coffee Gaming)¶

The same combo with a conferral on top. Yahna's Flamebrand Tome adds magic damage and burn to all three hits, so enemies end up frozen and burning. Virginia tanks instead of an armored unit, since end-game enemies punish armor.

Start-of-battle skill: none needed. Turn off Virginia's Iron Veil if you want Yahna's conferral to be the only thing on the opener.

Thunderous Conferral (stun) is a good alternative: enemies stay stunned after the ice breaks. Ice Conferral is wasted, since the rain already freezes.

Yunifi Triple Counter Dodge (Varsona)¶

Yunifi in the front as an evasion tank. Every attack that targets her gets Triple Counter (three enemies hit), and Snow-White Strike follows up allies. Selvie and Raenys keep the enemy blinded so true strikes can't touch her, and Selvie's Lapis Bell gives Yunifi a PP back every time she uses a passive.

Start-of-battle skill: Selvie's Cursed Swamp.

Yunifi Crit (Varsona)¶

Glacial Rain with stacked crit damage. Ramona's Dirty Gambler's Coin gives the row +30% attack and +50% crit damage, Eltolinde's Boon of the Faeries blocks the coin's accuracy penalty, and a Swordmaster with the Dancer's Delight loops Leaping Slash into a nine-hit Meteor Slash.

Start-of-battle skill: Eltolinde's Boon of the Faeries. Turn off Melisandre's Hastened Strike.

Super Tax Brothers (TitaniumLegman)¶

A Legionnaire who soaks every physical attack, and three Landsknechts who counter every hit he takes with Following Slash. Following Slash isn't Limited, so all three fire each time, and they regain PP when they hit. The Golden Eggs and Bandit Longsword stack, so this squad makes a lot of gold. Following Slash can't hit the back row; once the front falls, Killing Chain and Heavy Slash finish the back.

Start-of-battle skill: none needed.

The source ran four units. Sharon is an optional fifth for healing; the Salamander Ring and Detoxifying Amulet already keep Hodrick safe from burn and poison.

Bruno Burn Squad (TitaniumLegman)¶

Every unit inflicts burn. Selvie burns a row, Yahna's Flamebrand Tome lights Bruno's Wide Smash on fire, Berenice follows up, and Yahna's Fire Burst detonates a burning enemy to hit the whole enemy side.

Start-of-battle skill: Selvie's Impetus Stance (Acrobat's Shoes).

The source ran four units and suggested a Cleric to clear stun on Bruno. Tatiana fills that slot.

Bruno and the Braves (TitaniumLegman)¶

Bruno with a King's weapon, both crowns and the Hero's Medallion, built up over the battle and then unleashing Grand Smash on everyone. Squad 7 is a version of this.

Start-of-battle skill: Selvie's Cursed Swamp.

Doom Knight Cavalry (TitaniumLegman's Ajax Squad)¶

The source of squad 8, as originally built. Gloucester's Dark Flame hits a row with both physical and magic damage, so balance his physical and magic attack. Raenys blinds whole rows with Shining Light so the cavalry rarely gets hit.

Start-of-battle skill: Eltolinde's Boon of the Faeries.

Freezer Burn (TitaniumLegman)¶

Selvie blinds the whole enemy side with Sandstorm before anyone acts. When Gloucester's Dark Flame swings, Yahna's Frostbrand Tome adds freeze, so the enemy front row is burning and frozen at once. Tatiana's Limited Heal lets Gloucester take hits to fuel Vengeance.

Start-of-battle skill: none needed.

The source ran four units. Hodrick is an optional fifth, since Doom Knights can't sustain themselves well without a tank.

Affliction Angels (TitaniumLegman)¶

The earlier version of squad 4. Berengaria stuns rows with Death Spin while Travis poisons and Railanor stuns, so her bonus damage against afflicted enemies is always on. Virginia breaks armor and flyers.

Start-of-battle skill: Berengaria's Eye of the Warrior Princess. Turn off Virginia's Iron Veil and Travis's Sneaking Edge.

The source ran four units with no healer. Monica is an optional fifth.

Rosalinde Counter Squad (Varsona)¶

Rosalinde's Elemental Roar with Ice Conferral, and a counter wall around Virginia. Anyone who hits Virginia gets Following Slash from Berenice and a blinding, poisoning magic counter (Vanitas) from Railanor's Necromancer's Lantern. Squad 5 is a version that leaves Virginia in squad 4.

Start-of-battle skill: Rosalinde's Rage of the Faeries. Turn off Virginia's Iron Veil.

Amalia and Berenice: Elite Standard (Varsona)¶

A two-unit squad. Berenice's Elite Standard gives United Front at the start of battle, which scales with how many more units the enemy has. Against a five-unit squad (three more), each of them negates up to five hits, so the enemy wastes ten attacks while Berenice's Following Slash and Amalia's hits tear them apart. United Front also blocks afflictions, as long as it fires first. Weak to magic.

Start-of-battle skill: Berenice's United Front (Elite Standard). Amalia's Provoking Wall is off.

Give Berenice stun and freeze immunity (Hailstorm Edge covers freeze; the Barbed Ribbon covers stun). If she's disabled before her turn, United Front never fires.

Berengaria and the Doom Knight (Varsona)¶

Three axes. Berengaria's Eye of the Warrior Princess and Aubin's defense shred both count as debuffs, which add +50 potency to Gloucester's Dark Flame. Gloucester's Nameless Guard's Shield covers Berengaria and gives her a true-strike Death Spin. Primm's Lyrical Wand adds actions, and both Primm and Lhinalagos clear debuffs.

Start-of-battle skill: Berengaria's Eye of the Warrior Princess. Against heavy blockers, swap it for Aubin's War Horn (makes attacks unguardable).

Alain and Berengaria All-Rounder (TitaniumLegman)¶

Two of the strongest units together with full support. Alain covers the back row while Berengaria stuns rows and drains HP. Monica keeps them healed and blocks magic, and Hilda's Dragoon Dive finishes anything left.

Start-of-battle skill: Berengaria's Eye of the Warrior Princess. Turn off Alain's Rapid Order. (The source married Berengaria; give the Ring of the Maiden to whoever you married.)

Josette Werefox Dodge Team (TitaniumLegman)¶

An evasion strike team led by a flyer. Dinah blinds full columns, Fran smashes the back row with Aerial Smite, and Lex and Ridiel cover and heal. Almost nothing hits them that isn't a true strike.

Start-of-battle skill: Ridiel's Pure Field.

Lex's First Aid on Ridiel at the end of battle triggers her Selfless Heal, which heals the whole squad.

Nina and Gilbert (Varsona)¶

Nina one-shots a target, refunds her AP with Assaulting Blow, and moves on. Gilbert's Sniping Order makes her row's attacks true strikes, and his Lamplight Ring makes the squad blind-immune, so he needs to act before Nina. Rosalinde's Elemental Roar becomes an unblockable true-strike nuke too.

Start-of-battle skill: Rosalinde's Rage of the Faeries. Turn off Gilbert's Rapid Order.

Monica's Affliction Squad (89 Games)¶

Selvie goes first with the Dove Plume and puts Guard Seal on a row. Guard Seal counts as an affliction, so Berengaria's Death Spin and Gloucester's Dark Flame both get their bonus. Cursed Swamp and Eye of the Warrior Princess slow the enemy enough that the whole squad acts first.

Start-of-battle skill: Selvie's Cursed Swamp. Turn off Berengaria's Eye of the Warrior Princess if it competes; Cursed Swamp is the one to keep.

Alain's Cavalry (89 Games)¶

Clive's General's Pike gives cavalry allies +20% attack and +40% crit, so Alain and Clive hit very hard. Mordon smashes the armored units cavalry struggles with, Miriam blocks magic, and Ridiel handles flyers and debuffs.

Start-of-battle skill: Alain's Rapid Order.

Fran's Flyers (89 Games)¶

Built to beat cavalry and flying squads, and it can slip behind enemy lines to take towers. Gammel dodges nearly everything and blinds rows, Fran and Hilda clear rows, and Yunifi covers armored and flying enemies.

Start-of-battle skill: Hilda's Dragon's Roar.
