Mistria Horizon

Mistria horizon is a free japanese srpg game in the vein of Fire Emblem and you can download it here: http://www.freem.ne.jp/dl/win/13538 (big blue link saying mistria horizon below size). Please keep in mind that this guide was made based on version 0.85 up to chapter 24 and on the full version for the rest so it might not be 100% accurate. And as always I don't own anything but the guide.

Basic Tips

For menus check my silvania guide.
Attack speed = speed - (weapon weight-strength). You need 4 more speed to double.
Max level 20 for unpromoted units and 30 for promoted. Promoting won't reset levels. You can promote at 15
The lone stat at the bottom is weapon proficiency and levels up along with the other stats. Max level varies.
No perma-death unless it's a fail condition in which case it's a game over. For every unit that dies though you lose 100 bonus points.
Supports are either built-in or event based. Some work one way only. Two squares range. You can see the bonuses in the status screens.
Chapters usually have Bonus Missions which reward you with bonus points. BP can be used from the preparations screen to buy stat raisers as well as use strategic actions. The latter will usually cost 50 BP.
The strategic actions can be taken usually once per chapter by picking SA with x unit while standing on the yellow square.
Every unit has a personal skill (the option below attack) that can be used once per map but it's a gain something-lose something deal so be careful. I'll try to make a list at some point.

Elefius is kinda shit but don't neglect him too much. Same goes for Az.
I don't know the exact formula but Bart's level at the end of ch10 affects Alf and Mina's level when they rejoin (e.g I had Bart at 16 and when I got Alf and Mina back they were 4-5 levels higher than the last time I saw them)


PROMOTION SKILLS

Bandit and Pirate promotes to Berserker and becomes able to cross mountains/rivers/sea
Archer promotes to Sniper and gains permanent +10 hit
Bow knight promotes to Mamrook and gains swords and armsthrift
Social knight promotes to Paladin and gets lvl% chance to act again once they've finished their action
Dragon knight promotes to Dragon master, gains lances and loses bow weakness but becomes weak to lightning
Grifon knight promotes to Grifon master, gains swords and (RESx2)% chance to silence the enemy
Swordfighter promotes to Swordmaster and gains permanent +10 critical
Mage promotes to Spellmaster, gains staves and mag% chance of lowering the enemy's luck by 10
Sister promotes to Cleric, gains tomes and miracle (%luck chance to avoid lethal attack)
Armor knight promotes to general and gets a skill that gives adjacent units +3def
I gave up on the thief but I assume he promotes to assassin and gets permanent +15 avoid
Az and Elefius have exclusive automatic plot related promotions.

Don't forget that promoted enemies have the same skills too.

RING SKILLS

CH3: The ring that's in the chest grants vantage to whomever holds it (activates when hp is below 50%)
CH4: The name of Emily's ring is pursuit but it seems to actually grant adept (skill based activation)

After some backstory on the continent and the creation of the 2 books it's time to deal with the ringleader, Draster empire. Dargas convinces the emperor to halt the attack and now all three countries' representatives will meet in a neutral place and the fastest way to get there is by ship. In other words there be pirates. Also krakens. And possibly lesbians.

SA: Az can jump on the pirate ship

CHAPTER 16

CHAPTER 17

You'll get the option to take Ryan with you to the meeting or just go alone with Artelisia. For more money don't take him (second option). Then the debate will start. The more convincing you are the more Draster will compensate you in the end (min5k - max20k)

Best answers: second, first, first, first option.

In the end blondie will kill Dargas and pin it on Galia and Hirein so Draster's emperor Mitoras can properly declare war on them.

CHAPTER 19 GAIDEN

1. There's two shops in the preparations screen. Buy/sell accordingly. The weapons are steel and silver.
2. Ryan will hold a training event. In exchange for BP (100 per level) every unit that's below lvl 15 will automatically level up to 15 so you can promote them. I don't think it's worth it but if you want it it's the second item in intel gathering (1st option=yes 2nd=no)

Now that prep is over remember how Bart hit Grace with the evil book, "demons spell"? Well turns out Grace has been literally fighting his inner demons all this time and he's finally at his limit. So before he gets fully possessed he asks Elefius to kill him. That way he can prove he's become stronger and Grace can rest happily.

Goal: Defeat Grace
Fail: Elefius dies

CHAPTER 20

Let's rewind a bit and see what happened to our other MC. Leticia wanted to make Az a pirate but she convinced them to get to the mainland and was informed about the war. She obviously can't get through that map alone so Leticia and Iris decided to help her. When you get closer to the tower an ally, Laila will also appear and heal you if you are inside her range.

New Units
(They will appear on turn 11. If Az is nearby on the next turn they'll recruit themselves automatically.)

Rodis - Griffon master
Komo - Dragon master

Goal: Defeat the boss
Fail: Az dies
Bonus Mission: Visit all the houses
SA: Iris will dance for the enemies so they start moving
Other: The village guy gives you a temptation orb for Iris. The description says it reduces the concentration of whomever's she dances for but I haven't really tested it.

In the end Laila and Saitak will take you to Dargas. Apparently they saved him, he told them everything and now he's fighting the demons spell influence. They also explain how the empire orchestrated everything by first giving the demons spell to Fizak. Then they leave to destroy the cursed books while you wait for the minister to come so he can heal Dargas.

CHAPTER 21

Behold, the holy staff Mistria that can save demons spell's victims. Sucks we didn't have that earlier. And no you still can't have it. Instead you get a new tome for Az and she promotes to Saint. Her class skill grants allies in a 3 square radius +15 critical evade. And after the most uncomfortable ride ever it's time to fight.

Goal: Everyone escapes
Fail: Az or Dargas die. You'll also get a game over if the last remaining unit dies before escaping or if the last unit who escapes is carrying another one.
Bonus Mission: Clear in 12 turns or less
SA: Dargas can scream and the enemies will lose 5 strength for a turn
Other: The scroll you can get from the village teaches Iron Wall (defence% chance of negating all damage)

CHAPTER 22

Elefius has finally promoted to king. His skill gives allies in a 3 square radius +2 atk, def, res and +5 crit. The shop in the prep screen sells ranged and magical weapons.

Goal: Defend for 10 turns
Fail: Elefius dies or the enemy steps on the yellow tiles
Bonus Mission: Defeat Keriat (bottom right boss)
SA: Artelisia, Amelda or Mina can recover everyone's health

CHAPTER 23

The cavalry is here. Dargas convinces San, Az reunites with everyone, Leticia invites Elefius to be a pirate, a fight breaks, he runs away. And while everyone is having fun Mitoras says the war will go on and convinces San to be a Camus.

Special bonus mission: San will first propose a one on one duel so as to avoid more bloodshed. If you accept (first option) and win you'll get 2000 bonus points. If you lose you'll get a game over.

If you decline you'll do the map normally i.e
Goal: Defeat San
Fail: Elefius dies
Bonus Mission: Clear in 10 turns or less
SA: Kei or Kai can wear armor that gives them +5 def and -2 spd

San has Armsthrift (always active) and Hurricane (speed% chance of perform in 3 consecutive attacks)

Inbal, Darga's adopted son - Assassin (appears on turn 6, recruit with Dargas)

Fail: Elefius dies
Bonus Mission: Elefius stays in his room until Inbaal appears
SA: Anyone can activate a mechanism to put holes in front of two doors.
Built-in support: Dargas <-> Inbal
Other: The boss appears on turn 9 in Elefius' room and you have to kill him twice so plan accordingly. He has pass (the scroll he drops teaches that too), armsthrift (100%) and lethality (skill based). The shop sells killer and crystal weapons.

CHAPTER 24 GAIDEN

Let's catch both rabbits. One team led by Elefius will go to the volcano cave and retrieve the second demons spell and one team led by Az will go save Laila and the rebels so they can all fight the empire together.

Event supports: Az <-> Leticia, Leticia <-> Iris
Other: The shop in the prep screen sells silver, crystal and armor/horse killers.

CHAPTER 25

Artelisia and Dargas are forced on Elefius' team. Leticia and Iris are forced on Az's. Whoever else participates here won't participate next chapter and vice versa.

Goal: Acquire the Demons Spell (Elefius opens the blue chest)
Fail: Elefius dies
Bonus Mission: Defeat all the dragons
SA: Dargas can connect the bridge

Once the first goal is achieved the boss and reinforcements from the bottom will appear. You have to make Elefius escape (stand on the arrows at the bottom) to clear the chapter.

CHAPTER 26

New Units

Saitak - Sword Master (appears and joins automatically on turn 3)
Layla - Spellmaster (green unit - joins automatically on turn 3)
Golex - Berserker (appears from bottom left and joins automatically on turn 2)

San will become playable from turn 4 but she will leave once the chapter ends.

Goal: Laila walks out of the city
Fail: Az or Laila die
Bonus Mission: Keep Golex alive
SA: Leticia can break the blue rocks
Built-in support:  Saitak <-> Layla
Other: Houses give stuff/money except from bottom rightmost house which will spawn two enemies when you visit it. You might want to do it anyway though since one of them drops a staff that heals all allies (can only be used by clerics)

CHAPTER 27

Do your last minute shopping and use your bonus points/items. Don't forget to see the last convo to get San's sword.

Then you have to pick who's going to use the demons spell. The three choices are Alf, Laila and no one.
