Heroes of Mana

   Ground -> Missile -> Flying -> Heavy

- Some projectile attacks are more accurate from a certain camera angle.



	Chapter 17
---------------------------------

- Gaia (2): 1 (def) + 12 + 25
 × The second one can safely be exhausted during phase 1.
- Treant (4)
 × C appears once A or B has been exhausted.
 × D appears once you trigger phase 2.

- Woodings for Beastmen.
- Tortoishells are okay.
- Flyers for phase 2.

  Phase 1
- ~10 Beastmen: Ground
- 4 Special units

  Phase 2
- Roget (and anyone else near the Mana Stone) will be in a bad position.
- Lots of soldiers. Don't seem to be Ground.
- Let your Gatherers get killed to free up space.
- Once the soldiers are gone, expect Heavy units.



	Chapter 18
---------------------------------

- Gaia (3 = 62) = ~67
- Treant (3): 8 (def) +

- No enemy base.

  Phase 1
* Encounter the Black Dragon
- Heavy units

  Phase 2
* Defeat the Black Dragon. The NPC knight should be able to handle it.
- More Heavy units.

  Phase 3
* Dock at the new anchor point.
- Endless waves of Heavy units.



	Chapter 19
---------------------------------

- Gaia (3): 5 (def) +
- Treant (4): 8 (def) +

- A shitstorm.
- Mostly Heavy and Missile units.



	Chapter 20
---------------------------------

- Gaia: 5 (def) + 12 +
- Treant: 8 (def) +

  Phase 1
* Encounter the enemy.
- Exhaust Gaia A (12), Treant A and Treant B now (60 in total).

  Phase 2
* Defeat Celestan.
- Wait for about an hour for the enemy to use up all the resources.
- A decent mix of everything. Four Tortoishells should be enough. Form
 up around the tree near your base, and things will go smoothly until you
 need to take on Celestan.
- If you completely ignore the fact that Celestan can single-handedly
 wipe out your entire party within seconds, this mission isn't that bad.
- Anyway, Celestan starts off in great position with 3 Special Skull units.
 None of them like to follow you, so you can try using a hit & run strategy
 with Falcon.
- Once Celestan is close to your base, throw a bunch of Machine Golems at him
 and hope for the best. Only Lead units can damage him properly, though.



    Chapter 21 - Bukka Sea
---------------------------------

* Collect 30 Gaia Stones

- Gaia (4): 9 + 9 +
 × NW (A, 9), S (B, 9), NE (C, 12+), SE (D, ?)

- Items: next to the first statue, in the middle of the ocean between
 the two ships, north wall in the ocean
- Fixed units only: 5 Leads, 3 Tortoise Shellies, 3 Sky Dragons, 3 Golems,
   3 Big Babies, 3 Bebes, 2 Lizardons, 3 Tonpoles
- Big Babies can easily take down Booskaboos. These guys will eventually
 return to animation, though, until you blast them with the warp cannon.
 (10 stones each)
- The enemy ship will start sending constant reinforcements upon making
 first contact: Ape Mummies (Ground), Demons (Heavy), Specters (Flying).
 × The flow stops once you've killed about 50 of them.
- Send a Big Baby into the ocean as soon as the mission begins. Move along
 the shoreline back towards your ship. One of the zombie Vuscavs *will*
 probably end up engaging you, but that's nothing you can't handle. Just
 make sure you stay away from the enemy ship.
- Elena is hanging out near Gaia C, but you should be able to sneak past
 her if you're careful and snatch those stones.



Chapter 22 - Pedan
---------------------------------

* Destroy the Guldrea

- Gaia (2): 5 (def) + 9 +
- Treant (4): 11 (def) + (~300 from A & B)

- Items: behind Treant A, a bit south from Gaia B, 1 tile south from
 the enemy base (NW anchor)
- You have precious little time before the enemy strikes your base
 and slaughters you.
- After the first big attack, you're facing mostly Basilisks (Ground)
 and Crawlers (Heavy).
- Using a flyer, you might be able to lure Inath to the edge of the
 elevated area, at which point you can attack him (from the water),
 but he can't attack you (works on Baxilion too).
- Moving your base may result in the enemy doing the same.
- Try leading a couple of Duck GIs through the water, so you can snipe
 the enemy.



Chapter 23 - Forest of Illusions
---------------------------------

* Destroy the Mirror Shards

- Gaia (2): 5 (def) + 25 + 10
- Treant (3): 11 (def) + 50 + 50 +

- Items: behind Treant A, in the middle of the river between the Gaias,
 near the north anchor

- No enemy base.
- Take care of Treant A right away.
- Head for Gaia A next, on the other side of the river. There are
 enemies nearby, though, so you'll have to babysit your harvester.
- Gaia B will be easier.
- The mirror shards have specific type alignments and will endlessly
 spawn enemies of their type. Take them out quickly.



Chapter 24 - Mirage Palace
---------------------------------

* Defeat the Mirage Bishop

- Gaia (2): 5 (def) + 10 + 10 = 25
- Treant (4): 11 (def) + 20 + 20 + 30 + 50 = 131

- Items: Next to Gaia A, next to Treant C, in front of the Mana statue
 behind the bishop.

- No enemy base.
- The enemies will pop up from every entrance of the map once you
 get within visual range of the bishop. Gather all the available
 resources before that, and make sure you're as prepared as possible.
- All types are covered here, and you're also looking at 4 skulls.
- Pumpkin Heads will blow themselves up for massive damage.
- Treant D is in a fairly awkward position (in the water).
- A group of Heavies supported by a couple of Flyers and Missiles should
 be able to take out the bishop right away.



Chapter 25 - Mirage Garden
---------------------------------

* Lead Roget to the Mana Sword
* Defeat the Mirage Bishop

- Gaia (2): 5 (def) + 9 + 40
- Treant (3): 11 (def) + 100 + 50 + 75

- Items: Next to Treant A, NE corner, in front of the Goddess statue in the
 middle

- No enemy base.

  Phase 1
- The Mana Sword is right ahead of you near the center of the stage. Do NOT
 go there until you've finished harvesting and so forth!
- There's a Dark Dragon in the north, who will fly off and descend after
 you take out half of his HP.
- 2 Skulls in the northwest. Use ranged units.
- Baxilios and Inath plus 2 demons in the southwest.
 × Try and snipe them from the water with Dendens and Mallards.

  Phase 2
- The enemy gets 5 pairs of reinforcements who will charge you after a while
- The Bishop has a respawning barrier that sucks in about 12 hits.
- A single Denden should be able to take out most of what's-his-face's HP.
 Once he reaches critical HP, he'll try to regenerate his health with the
 Goddess statue in the middle (he can fly, by the way). Have a group of
 Missiles (Mallards & Dendens) and a Sky Dragon waiting for him.



Chapter 26 - Mirage Castle
---------------------------------

* Defeat the Mirage Bishop

- Gaia (2): 5 (def) + 19 + 50
- Treant (4): 11 (def) + 50 + 75 + 50 + 100

- Items: Behind Treant D, NW corner, NE corner

- No enemy base.
- Can't move the Nightswan.
- The mirrors you encounter can only be damaged by specific units.
 1. Flying
 2. Ground
 3. Missile
 4. Heavy
- Taking on the last mirror will also draw the attention of Baxilios
 and Inath. Be prepared.



Chapter 27 - Sea of Chaos
---------------------------------

* Defeat Baxilios
* Defeat Anise

- Gaia (4): 5 (def) + 25 + 25
- Treant (4): 11 (def) + 50 + 100

- Items: SE corner, NW corner, NE corner

- No enemy base.
- Killing enemies gives you berries in this mission.
 Dark Wisp (Missile): 2
 Dark Dog (Flying):
 Dark Eye ():
 Baxilios Clone: 3

  Phase 1
- Get the resources from the west and east. Forget about the northern
 corners.
- Use Rabites as sacrificial scouts. This won't provoke the enemy at all.
- Once again, your best bet is to snipe Baxilios with Dendens.

  Phase 2
- Once Bax is down, Anise will emerge and immediately assault you.
- Once she's close to death, you'll have to finish her off with the
Mana Sword.
