Clear Steps
3-3B introduces the third type of ELID, the Swarmer (Smasher), a Boss-type monster that we will be avoiding for this clear as they are incredibly difficult to defeat. It also co-introduces terrain effects to the field along with 3-3A. Much of the outer edge of the map features nodes marked with a small green skull and smoke effects over them. DO NOT end your turn on these nodes, all Dolls in your Echelon will take substantial damage, which is capable of killing Dolls should they be at low enough HP.
Fortunately, the Swarmer ELIDs are easy to avoid, and you are given plenty of AP to prevent the need to stand on a damaging Node. While the first phases require some attention to ensure nothing goes wrong, this map is deceptively easy to clear.
Writers note: For those who want to try and be cheeky with Parachute Fairies, there is an Anti-Air tower covering the Heliport you need to evacuate from, which must be destroyed by going through the rest of the map. Unfortunately, MICA has wizened up to that trick, so don’t expect to get much mileage out of parachute fairies in most of Chapter 3.
