into the abyss

Chapter 3 of Cindered Shadows is proving to be a real doozy, and I'm only about a third of the way down the map. >>;

I've taken out the first of the Altered Golems and gotten the key, but right after I then killed the next couple of normal Golems, a bunch of assassins have suddenly spawned in as reinforcements and they're posing a huge threat to me!

They're in trees right now, making them even harder to hit than usual, one of them has a Venin Edge, and I've had to use one of my precious Divine Pulses (which I really want to save because I hear that actually finding the chalice on this map involves RNG bullshit) because Yuri missed with his gambit. I think I can get my slower units out of harm's way, but other than that, I guess I'll have to hope Ashe and Claude can both land their Curved Shots so I can at least have some chance of making it out of this situation alive...

This DLC is challenging to be sure (playing on Normal/Classic in my case) but it's also kind of refreshing that way; it reminds me a little of older FE games. I'm enjoying the new characters, too.

YEAH I heard the maps on CS can be quite a challenge even in Normal mode. x3 But this isn't the chapter where you have to hurry and run away, right? Cause I here there's a timed mission and those are among my least favorite FE maps. D:
