Boss: Candace can be captured

This map's layout is a bit straightforward. The boss, Candace has a very rare consumable called Dragon Herbs which increases all stats by 1. She will also attempt to leave the battlefield. To catch up to her, you'll need to use your fliers since the thick woods terrain will block your normal ground units. If you have several flying units, the better. Also, Candace can be captured. So partner Orochi to one of your flying units if you want to catch up to her quickly. Additionally, the dragon veins in the area can create shortcuts which will allow you to bypass some of the enemies. When Candace is wounded, she'll stay at the forts along the way and attempt to replenish her life per turn. This will essentially stop her on her tracks until she recovered enough HP to move again.

Kinshi Knights will be exceptional units to bring in this mission because of their mobility and offense. There's not that many archers here but you have to be careful with Candace since she wields a bow too. Like Asugi's stage, you don't need to wipe out all enemies. Just defeating / capturing Candace will end the battle immediately. Midori will also be a controllable unit here so don't leave her undefended. Pair her up and make her a support unit to ensure her safety. Using flying units, you'll be able to reach Candace and wipe out her entourage at the second turn. If you want to maximize the experience you'll gain from the stage, you can have her walk all the way around the path while you take care of the shortcuts and eliminate her allies along the way.
