“Imperial calendar, the year 3, February… The holy palace of Archanea was enveloped by a strange silence. Following a rebellion in Archanea, many capable knights, starting with the paladin Midia, were captured. However, even then Archanea had double Altea’s manpower, the palace streets teeming with soldiers. Nearly one year has passed since the Grustian expedition… And now, the decisive battle that would settle the fate of two nations was about to begin.”
—Opening Narration

The Last Decisive Battle is Chapter 19 of Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem and its remake.

StrategyEdit

This chapter can be difficult if moves are not planned ahead. The vast majority of the enemies in this chapter are Paladins with Silver Lances. The best way to survive this chapter is to use Tiki and equip her with the Life Orb. Have Tiki fly over the mountains located on the left side of the screen and use her to kill most of the enemies located there. Do not stray to far into the circle where the forts are located because more enemies will be coming out of the forts, so keep that in mind when approaching the forts with your army. Another way to survive this chapter is to have one of your characters (preferably a Dragon Knight or a Pegasus Knight because they can move more spaces and have the ability to retreat into the mountains once the Paladins start approaching) move halfway up to the town towards the right at the beginning of the chapter and lure the enemies down to the location where Roshea was recruited. After that, form a wall with your strongest defensive characters, for example Sheema (if you trained her on the previous chapter), Draug, Est, Palla, Minerva, and Tiki. Since the vast majority of the enemies have silver weapons and a few carry Killer Lances, your best fighters would be those that have high luck, carry a Light Orb, or have good support with nearby allies.
