Sylvain's Paralogue. We head to Gautier territory to round up the remnants of Miklan's thieves. Having a few more levels and a bit higher Skill level rating compared to the previous month when I could first play this map makes a fair amount of different with regards to the map's difficulty. The amount of speed where I'm barely avoiding a doubling from the Wolves in Rikka' paralogue means that I am able to land 2x hits on a lot of the enemies on this map. Having Thyrsus also makes dealing with the group of Archers in the top left a lot easier to manage.

To start the map, I have Lysithea, Annette, Dimitri, Flayn, Rikka, and Sylvain on the left, and Ingrid, Dorothea, Hilda, Ashe, and Mercedes on the right. I have Annette and Lysithea head upwards towards the top-left Stronghold taking on the Archers by taking advantage of Thyrsus range boost. My other units on the left advance towards the bottom-center of the map to deal with the group of enemies surrounding that Stronghold. My units on the right make their advance towards the top-right. I park Ingrid on a bush, dismount and activate Alert Stance to draw in all the Brawlers and Brigands in the area while my remaining units stand comfortably out of range.

By the end of first turn, I end up attracting the attention of quite a few enemies. More than I can handle normally, in fact. I take advantage of the enemy groups to throw out a few Gambits in order to help with crowd control. The enemies surrounding Ingrid set themselves up very nicely to all be hit by a Blaze, while th enemies on the left get put in their place after an Assault Troop and Line of Lances. Once these groups of enemies are taken down, the rest of the map is mostly just cleaning up the stragglers and taking out the Thieves once the start to run. By leaving the bottom-right Stronghold open I can somewhat control the direction of the Thieves movement in order to easily catch them as they go. As such, we are able to clear this map without much incident.

We get a handful of nice rewards from clearing this Paralogue, including the Lance of Ruin and the Gautier Knights.
