Sealed Sword Strategy Guide Introduction and Walkthrough Explanation

Many players are very fond of the strategy role-playing game genre. This type of game has been around for a long time, and when it comes to this genre, many players will mention the Fire Emblem series. When discussing this series, one cannot avoid mentioning The Binding Blade. Below is an introduction to The Binding Blade guide. Many players have heard of this masterpiece. Although the gameplay is very interesting, the difficulty of getting started is quite high. Many players encounter various problems in the early stages of the game, which leads to many people getting stuck. Below, we bring you the beginner's guide to The Binding Blade.

At the beginning, there is a story introduction. Our protagonist is Roy, son of Eliwood from The Blazing Blade. Right from the start, our territory is under attack by enemies. In the first stage, the enemies we face are bandits. The victory condition is relatively simple; Roy just needs to head to the castle in the upper left corner to suppress it. Except for Roy, our five members have a significant advantage over the bandits. In the Fire Emblem games, every class has a relationship of strengths and weaknesses, and the difference between these relationships is enormous, so players need to be familiar with them.

In this stage, you can let the armored knight attack the bandits first, as knights are at a disadvantage in this level because the bandits' axes are strong against lances. If the bandits are low on health, then you can let Roy go in for the finishing blow. Weapons in Fire Emblem have durability, and Roy's rapier is quite valuable. Early on, you can have Marth give Roy an iron sword to use for attacking. The key characters to gain experience in this stage are the archer and Roy. You can send a knight to visit the village on the right to get 5000G. The next chapter's stages are basically centered around castle offense and defense battles. The number of enemies in the game is higher than ours, so our main strategy is to lure the enemies down one by one and attack them.

The priority for attacks is to first target the enemies destroying the village, followed by those with long-range attacks, and finally other types of enemies. After luring the enemies down, we need to use the two armored knights to absorb the damage. If their HP is critically low, use healing potions directly. The boss of this chapter has a lot of health, and we need to use arrows and Bolus to slowly whittle down his health. Although he can heal himself at the gate, if all sides are taking damage, the boss will not be able to withstand it. Defeat him to pass the first chapter.

The second chapter introduces a new feature: the supply wagon. This vehicle mainly provides us with supplies. Each member can carry a very limited number of items. To get more items, we need to make good use of this supply wagon. This vehicle can transport various items from the warehouse. If we have enough funds, we can buy more items in the shop for the vehicle to carry. Among the new characters added in this chapter, Elen is quite important. She is a cleric who can restore the HP of characters.

At the beginning of the chapter, you can get an Iron Sword from the village in the upper left, which is effective against heavy armor. Keep it for now. After entering the second turn, our reinforcements will arrive. Among them, Dieck is quite strong, and we can have him occupy the nearby mountain terrain. This increases evasion and defense, and also allows for healing. The pegasus knight is weaker, so try to have her assist in finishing off enemies to improve her stats.

Next, after entering the castle, the battle will move indoors. The indoor combat in this game has some improvements compared to previous titles, such as allowing knights to enter buildings without dismounting. This preserves their high mobility. However, because there is no dismounting mechanic, pegasus knights cannot avoid being countered by bows by dismounting.

At the beginning of the game, a new character will join. This character is a thief and carries a thief key, which allows players to collect various treasures in the palace. This character has good growth potential and is very practical as a substitute main character.

The above is an introduction to the guide for The Binding Blade. This game is quite challenging from the first chapter, and players need to level up each character. Otherwise, if only 1-2 characters are strong, the difficulty of later battles will increase significantly. Therefore, it's essential to level up almost every class.
