Rescue/drop units within one turn hints and tips for Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance

Rescue/drop units within one turn

Requires someone with secondary movement (Paladins/Wyvern Lords etc).

If one of your units, such as a Sage, is in a bad situation and you need to rescue them, you obviously know that you have to drop them on the next turn, meaning the rescued unit will have to wait until the second turn after the rescue to be commanded again. It is actually possible to avoid this situation if the rescuer with secondary movement is nearby and there is also another unit within range of the secondary unit's secondary movement (preferably as far back as possible if your units are in danger).

Now, have your Paladin/Wyvern Lord/etc move up to the Sage/etc and rescue them, then move back to the adjacent unit and select "Wait". Now, have the adjacent unit stay where he is and select the command "Take". After this, you will realise that the command "Drop" will appear. Have this unit drop the rescued unit on an adjacent square. You will then be able to use all three units the next turn.
