		+	'''[WD0]''' As mentioned you don't really need many recruits. A good healer might be useful, depending on how quickly you can kill Umbra/Lilith. The enemy at the top can hit very hard and wait for you to reach them. I find a good tactic is to put a tough unit at the one hex wide opening to the south so that one of them comes down to attack. If you survive the rest don't have anything to attack so stay at the top. Killing this attacker then allows you to go in all the open space in the main hall. Send in three recalled footpads well apart in the middle will get all the enemy off their chairs so you can then attack them more safely. One of the enemy will convert to your ally's side if you attack them so sending a footpad at them (so as not to hurt them too much) will do the trick. The last room is also all castle tiles so you can chop and change your equipment on the fly.
