Read this encounter
Reach the floating battlefield by the overland route through Sian, Mt. Reizan, Lake Ryusei and Forest Path. The tornado prevents a direct airship landing. Restore at the battlefield save point and finish Raegen’s scenes before judging the required fight.
Answer the dangerous action
Light hits provoke retaliation against their user; other damage can strengthen Umbra. Heal or protect the next Light attacker instead of sending several wounded actors into counters. Seal of Conviction is the Dark warning to interrupt when reachable. If the gauge will not break in time, reserve survival actions.
After the battle
Finish the chapter transition to establish the Crystal Tower objective. Do not return to the Chapter 1 castle trying to turn its scripted loss into this victory, and do not record Umbra as a recruited party member.
