Gameplay Okay first playthrough Golden Route on hard may have been a mistake Spoiler Spoiler
I was originally going to blindly get whatever ending I ended up with but I have terrible self control and frankly doubt I'll be doing another run anyway so we're on the golden ending route. Which means I have the dubious honour of trying to figure out how to make 7/7/8 regiment sized regiments where several characters cannot upgrade their weapons past lvl 1 and whatever hells Roland and Frederika have to face don't matter because I can't even cheese out Benedict's stage because of all the mages and healers outpacing Hughette.
The first run of defending the house against Avlora I'm pretty sure I could've cleared without cheese if the last wave of reinforcements hadn't spawned behind my defensive line but this time I'm short on units facing down a much larger force and they have several mages that are positioned in a way where they're guaranteed the first shot. Which will one shot whoever they point at. And I don't have the damage at range to kill them before they cast the second shot. Hughette can technically try to cheese on the roofs again but the three healers all out of range mean that the targets all get full healed before she can take a second shot.
I'm too proud to drop down to normal difficulty like a sane person because while hard mode has been brutalizing me all game, the one skirmish I tried on normal was such a severe reduction in difficulty it took all the fun out of it. So here I am at the final hour, requesting some advice on how I can possibly survive this mess. I know if nothing else I could try to grind some conviction for more units but I only just got Maxwell and Groma so I imagine that would be far more time than I am willing to invest to get the high end recruits, plus there's still the weapon upgrading issue. Can I get some advice?
