Bound Hero Battle: Ephraim & Eirika

Team Compositions

When facing Eirika and Ephraim Bond Battle Infernal, many team compositions employing several plans exist.  This demonstration involves one of the more easily-attainable setups.

  • Unit 1 - Dancer/Singer (Recommended Level: 1+)

Any level Dancer/Singer of any type will do.  They will not enter combat at all.

  • Unit 2 - Dancer/Singer (Recommended Level: 40+)

Any Dancer/Singer of any type will suffice, but they will need to take one exchange from the Sword Cavalier.  This will not be an issue for Ninian or Azura, but Olivia should have a minimum speed of 29 and a combined sum for HP and DEF of 58.

  • Unit 3 - Repositioner or Dancer/Singer (Recommended Level: 1+)

They will not engage in combat.  Repositioner has the benefit of being able to be danced and reposition if something goes awry, but if you follow this guide, you should be fine.  If your "Unit 4" needs a Hone Atk boost, this unit needs to be the one that does it.

  • Unit 4 - Brave Bow Archer (Recommended Level: 40+)

Any archer with Brave Bow will suffice (Niles may not reach minimum ATK strength).  In combat, the archer needs to reach 48 ATK no special, 45 ATK with Moonbow, or 43 ATK with Luna + Quickened Pulse.

  • Brave Bow - 4 Mt
  • Brave Bow+ - 7 Mt

Neutral ATK Archers:

Useful A Passives

  • Death Blow 3 - +6 ATK (Skill Inheritance from Klein, Effie, Ursula)
  • Life and Death 3 - +5 ATK (Skill Inheritance from Hana, Jaffar, Minerva, Zephiel)
  • Swift Sparrow 2 - +4 ATK (Skill Inheritance from Spring Lucina, Katarina, Lyn - Brave Lady)
  • Attack +3 - +3 ATK (Skill Inheritance from Cherche, Gordin, Tobin)

Many other useful A Passives exist such as: Sturdy Blow, Fury, Mirror Strike, etc.

Useful Seals:

Summoner Support:

  • Provides up to an extra +2 ATK.

In Action:

For example, if we use a neutral 5* Gordin, we will have his 31 ATK plus his native Brave Bow+ Mt for an extra 7 ATK.  Placing him at 38 ATK.  If we use a Hone Atk 3 Repositioner, this will place him at 42 ATK in combat.  Tack on the ATK seal, and he will be at 43 ATK.  Because we are already using an Attack +1 seal, we will need to attain 2 more ATK + Moonbow special or 5 more ATK with no regards for the special.  This can be easily fulfilled with the A passives described above.  If we attain Summoner Support S and Atk + 3 on him, he no longer needs to worry about a special activation. A stronger archer allows for more breathing room in terms of ATK strength.

Turn 1:

  • Position Unit 1, 2 and 4 on the edge of the enemy attack range.
  • Unit 2 should be in the southern edge block. 
  • Place Unit 3 next to Unit 4.

Turn 2:

  • Reposition Unit 4 towards the group of three enemies.
  • Use Unit 4 to kill Thief first. 
  • Move Unit 2 inside the Red Cavalry's attack range and dance Unit 4.
  • Use Unit 4 to kill Blue Tome enemy.
  • Move Unit 1 to Unit 4 and dance him once more.
  • Move Unit 4 up and attack the Green Cavalry.
  • Final setting: Unit 1, 3, 4 outside of enemy attack range.
  • Unit 2 inside of Red Cavalry's attack range.

Turn 3:

  • Can vary.  If Unit 3 can finish off Red Cavalry, proceed to do so and then use Unit 4 to kill Eirika and retreat from Ephraim. 
  • Otherwise, use Unit 4 to kill Red Cavalry and safely retreat from Eirika and Ephraim.

Turn 4:

  • If Eirika is alive, kill her with Unit 4 (and dancer do-overs) and retreat from Ephraim. 
  • Otherwise, kill Ephraim and run is over.             

Turn 5:

  • If you could not kill both Eirika and the Red Cavalry on the same turn, then this turn is needed for defeating Ephraim.

Final Notes: Congrats, you have bested Infernal Bond Battle Eirika and Ephraim!

Show Explanation

Eldigan (40+1): Fury, Swordbreaker (!), Bonfire, Fortify Cav
Camus: Fury, Reposition, Moonbow, Goad Cav
Titania (40+1): Fury, Reposition (!), Iceberg, Hone Cav
Cecilia: Gronnraven+(!), Triangle Adept 3(!), Green Tomebreaker, Moonbow, Ward Cav

To life an attack from the ninja AND Green Mage-Cav my Cecilia needs the +3 HP and +2 Res from C-Rang-Support with yourself, maybe +Res-Cecilia can handle this without. Let get her the full boost off Titania and Eldigan and went to the point left of the destroyable wall, put Eldigan under her and Camus under him, Titania waits under the destroyable tile.
The ninja with Sword-Cav-Boost would attack Cecilia and only made (the unfortunate) Poison Strike-Damage and the Green Mage-Cave attacks her from above and bring her to very low HP.
Next turn, get Cecilia under Titania and destroy the wall to take off the green Mage with Titania, which has to take a hit from the Blue Mage, that means get (in my Skill-Set) only 6 Points Fury-Damage, thanks to Emerald Axe+. Meanwhile took Eldigan out of the Range of any unit and stay with Camus in the range of the damaged Ninja and end your turn.
The ninja runs into Camus an dies and the Blue Mage attacks Titania. Now Ephraim should be in your Range. Attack him with Cecilia, go down with Titania and do Reposition on Cecilia and take care, that only Titania ist in Ephraims range. End Turn.
Ephraim dies when he attacks Titania and now the Sword-Cav and Eirika (from the Top of the Map) is near enough to handle them without beeing scared, cause know you can OHKO Eirika with Eldigan, thanks to his Bonfire and Swordbreaker and can take out the Sword-Cav with Camus and his Moonbow, that should trigger.
Now wait for the Blue Mage and blew him away (my Cecilia can OHKO him with Boosts / Moonbow).

Finished! That was what I made in Infernal-Mode because Lunatic and Hard are way too easy with this Squad needing any specific plan.
(Hint: Maybe you have to take care in positioning your Heros right, to get needed Boosts at the right time, but I think everyone can do this easily, because there are not that much possibilities, because you never really left the bottom right corner)

Hector - +Res, -HP - DC, Vantage 3, Fortify Armor, HP+3 seal, Bonfire, Pivot

Azura (+2) - +Def, -Atk - Fury 3, WoM3, Hone Atk 3, Breathe of Life 1 seal

Brave Lucina - +Atk, -Res - Sturdy Blow 3, Renewal 3, Drive Spd 2, Spur Def 1 seal, Reciprocal Aid, Aether

4 star Sheena (lol) - all that matters is she had Fortify Armor, Swap, QR1, and Squad Ace A 1 seal

Basically with this set up Hector baited and killed the ninja, blue mage, and green mage cav turn 1. Azura baited and killed the red cav turn 2, Azura baited Eirika turn 3, BLucina moved into Azura's spot turn 4 to block Eirika while Sheena moved next to BLucina which was in front of Ephraim so neither Ephraim nor Eirika could move to attack the opposite unit because they were next to each other so they were forced to attack the unit blocking their path. Then Swap Sheena with Hector to let Hector finish off Ephraim.
