So this is my first play through of Echoes. I'm playing Hard/Classic and I also have insisted on not using Mila's Turnwheel and just restarting the chapter if a character dies (that's the way I'm used to playing anyway).
So I feel like an idiot since once I completed this chapter I decided to google how others had done it. I did it in the dumbest way possible.
1. I was mainly irritated since I missed the chance to recruit the sisters, but that's besides the point. (I mean Est's, but I totally would've used them here)
2. I didn't realize you could actually kill Jedah, so I just allowed him to summon the entire battle.
3. I didn't realize Alm wasn't the only one that could do damage to Duma.
My strategy was, once I got to the area next to Jedah, it was constant Silk warp and Faye Rescue of Alm to kill both Witches, the Medusa User, and Duma. It was ridiculously stupid and I feel like a loser for using such a cheap gimmick. I would have Genny heal Alm every time before he went back in.
I was wondering why they allowed us to use so many units this battle, since besides Valbar, Celica, and Claire protecting my Saint's I literally used no one for the entire second half of the battle.
Did anyone else have issues like this for this battle? Specifically passing up on killing Jedah?
