I loaded up my Maddening Casual NG+ Azure Moon save on Chapter 13. I was able to Auto Battle and win.
Some comments:
- Auto Battle cannot get through barriers. The little corner where Sylvain/Felix/Ingrid spawn has two barriers. Sylvain and Felix could not break the barrier, so I manually had Sylvain break the barrier. It was my only action, but I suppose it wasn’t necessary. For those curious, the only surviving units were Dimitri, Gilbert (despite missing most of his axe swings haha) and Sylvain.
- Focus is probably what I would use for 90% if the turns. The only exception was the first turn where I wanted to use Unite to bring Dimitri and Byleth closer.
- This was a NG+ run, and I did use it to level up my Professor Level way back on month 1, which allowed me to teach the students more stuff. Other than that, though, I didn’t use the more obvious NG+ buffs like skill level ups or crests.
- I’ve definitely given up on doing Classic. I still think Maddening/Casual could work but It’s possible that I spend a few hours only to reach a hard stop somewhere in the first seven chapters.
