Unit Recommendations

 * Blue Mages are great on this map because they are a counter to Xander and the two fighters. They are vulnerable to the Green Cavalier however.
 * Ursula and Reinhardt can defeat Xander taking almost no damage, thanks to Blárwolf+ and Dire Thunder respectively.
 * Lucina (SF) can also beat him in one turn, however she takes significant damage in return, due to Siegfried's built-in Distant Counter
 * Robin (M), Nowi and/or Tiki: Dragon Scion together with a Dancer/Singer can also kill most of the units on this map.
 * Olivia is great here due to her Dance assist, which can be used to attack with a strong unit twice or to move someone to a safer spot. Her Hone Attack is a great buff as well. Azura or Ninian can be used as alternatives.
 * From the Battling Xander summoning focus:
 * Linde accomplishes a similar role to Lucina (SF), as in she'll kill Xander but she will be left with very little HP.
 * Thanks to her kit, Cordelia can deal with Xander and the two Fighters. Her RES is low however, so she is in grave danger from the other two enemy units.
 * Arthur can be used to eliminate the Lance Fighter, but he won't survive an encounter with any of the two red enemies.

Other Tips

 * Try to not leave enemy units with low HP, since the Cleric's Wings of Mercy skill will allow her to warp to them and restore their health.
 * Also be wary of her Gravity, which will severely limit your movement.
