War
War is a gameplay mode in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. In war battles, players organize legions to combat enemy forces in field battles.
Information
In war battles, the player builds legions to deploy against the enemy forces. Each legion is made up of a commander and two sets of up top three unit captains. As the player recruits new allies, more choices in commander and captains become available. Depending on the battle some units may be locked and unable to be edited.
Assigned ally captains have skills that benefit their legion when activated. Some skills are activated manually during the player's turn while some activate automatically based on their prerequisites. Captain and sub-captain skills can be upgraded through the Headquarters Drafting Studio.
Legions are deployed and moved across a grid with player and enemy turns occurring simultaneously. Areas can hinder legion movement depending on the area type. Opposing legions that enter the same area will enter into combat with each other. Priority is given to the more powerful legion and battle will occur in the area occupied by the less powerful legion. The direction a legion faces is also important as they will be at a disadvantage if they need to turn to defend themselves while under attack.
As battles progress, legion damage taken will fill the Rage Mode gauge while successful engagements will fill the Morale Mode gauge. When filled, activating these gauges will give player legions a boost for the remainder for the turn. The defeated legion will attempt to retreat to an adjacent area if possible. Legions that are completely wiped out are removed from the battlefield.
Unlocking
War battles occur throughout the story of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. In additional to the mandatory war battles that occur as the plot develops, players can also engage in optional mock battles after recruiting Stadler and developing the Drill: Mock Battle panel in the
Headquarters Drafting Studio. The earliest this can be accomplished is during the story mission
Reunion.
The player can speak to Stadler at the Drill Ground to engage in these mock battles. Completing all of Stadler's mock battle scenarios will earn the player the Skilled in War Achievement.
Battles
There are six story war battles and six mock battles, making for 12 in total. Only the latter five mock battles are repeatable, as the first is fought to recruit Stadler in Impershi'arc.
