“	Evil-doing thieves with no conscience. Don't let the arson thief escape!	„

Thieving Arson is the ninth main Story Mission. The Bandit and Rogue enemies should be familiar, but they appear here exclusively and in large numbers, so don't be complacent! The completion reward here is Mortimer, a new Bandit. He gets higher attack than Eunice due to his trust bonus, but his skill is less aggressive.

This is another three-way branch point. Citadel Battle is the next main story mission. Bandit Hideout and Deep Forest Road are optional.

Strategy

Tutorial

This one can be a bit tricky with timing since there are two exit points that you need to guard. Place Katie on the upper cross intersection before the upper HQ point (spot B), then place Phyllis on the lower intersection near the lower HQ point (spot J). Afterward place the Prince behind Katie close to the exit (Spot A) then active Katie's skill when it is ready and place a Healer in between Katie and Phyllis on the center spot to their left (spot U) this allows all melee units to be within range to be healed. Next when you have enough UP place Eunice in front of Phyllis (Spot K). After activating Phyllis' skill place your archers above and below your healer (weaker spot V, stronger spot T). Katie's skill should be ready to use again so do so and drop Valerie on the left spot of the center house (Spot X).

Deploy Phyllis level 1 in spot B. Deploy Alissa level 1 in spot U. Deploy Eunice level 1 in spot K. (Be prompt to catch the Bandit.) Deploy Crave level 1 in spot A. (Be prompt to catch the Rogue.) Use Phyllis's skill when it becomes ready. Deploy an iron soldier level 1 in spot J. Deploy a second copy of Phyllis in spot I. Deploy Dorca level 1 in spot T. Use Phyllis's skill again when it becomes ready. Deploy Valerie level 1 in spot V. Wait until the iron soldier in spot J is no longer engaged, and withdraw it. Replace it with Leeanne. Deploy Elaine level 1 in spot L. Another competent duelist such as the Prince could be used instead.
