	'''[WHU]''' There are a lot of units that are in castle that have no keep. They will remain stationary until you get too close, so concentrate on killing those enemy leaders (that you need to, remember the objective is to reach the temple, not kill all enemy leaders) carefully. Like most of this chapter, I like to make extensive use of walking corpses to shield my troops, particularly from charging units. I also recruit a lot of fodder (whelps and goblin spearmen) to shield my army and delay my pursuers when I am ready to move from one castle to another. Watch carefully for the demons that look like humans, but are very, very much stronger.		'''[WHU]''' There are a lot of units that are in castle that have no keep.

 '''[WD0]''' Krux and Vritra should have several AMLA's by now and should be able lead attacks on multiple demons. Only bring your weaker support in to finish off demons if all the other demons are too far away (or you have really good equipment on one). I also try to have the gryphon rider in good shape to venture out and grab villages if only one demon could get there (maybe more if they don't have super attacks).
-'''[WD0]''' You should explore all the runes with your leaders, some of them are very beneficial but some also hurt. Runes only function the first time they are stepped on. Following is a list of what they do so if you want to work it out for yourself don't look... Heals 30, Damages 30 cold, Heals 50, Damages 40 fire, Permanently increases damage by 10 & Permanently adds 25 to all resistance. As you can see, the last two are particularly nice.

I think the last one is a bug because resistances are actually sensitivities in the code but it is the far western rune so avoid that one.

 '''Generally'''
-[dabber] Chapter 10 is really tough. It plays differently than everything except maybe the first couple scenarios of chapter 1. You have almost no equipment and no experience (Krux and Vritra lose all previous AMLAs) and you face really powerful enemies. The equipment you bring through on Krux and Vritra from chapter 8 is critical. The only saving grace is you can still access your gem stash, so SPEND IT. Craft the big stuff and/or craft a lot. If you didn't equip the kids for this back in chapter 8, you are in trouble. If you spent lots of cool gems in chapter 9, you are in trouble. If you made both mistakes ... cheat or go back.

 If you have the right equipment, and the gems to cast awesome stuff like Dugi's Ward, you can make Krux or Vritra into good solo-fighters. But they won't be as good as their parents. By the end of chapter 9, Efraim or Lethalia should be able to walk into a mass of a dozen demon warriors and slaughter them all in a single turn. Vritra with good equipment and a dozen AMLAs will die facing half that many basic demons.
 Krux wants Doombringer. Because Krux uses it for both melee and ranged, this gives him slow and suck on both, which might keep him alive. Even if I don't want to give him ranged AMLAs, I often have to give him some to upgrade his number of attacks to ensure he hits with a slow. You may also want to disable his other ranged retaliation attacks to ensure the slow and suck from Doombringer matter.
 Chapter 10 Krux has good leadership AMLAs, better than chapter 8, including healing. If you want to level him that way, it can be valuable.

 '''[dwarftough]''' I haven't really played this chapter recently but I believe in the beginning of this chapter a lot depends on which items you carried out from chapter 8 on Vritra and Krux (cause that's the only two with their items who got carried through). So it's worth thinking about it in Chapter 8 and probably equip Krux and Vritra in the best possible items there (for Efraim and Lethalia you have vast Inferno to loot items). For example, I would prefer to carry heal +40 Cactus ring here, not in Chapter 9 (in Chapter 9 you probably have enough heal and healers even without this ring).

 '''[WHU]''' Again, no idea.  If there were more turns, I'd capture some villages and keep recruiting fodder so I could take on the superior demons one or two at a time.  But there's not enough turns to begin with.  I usually get to about turn 4 or 5 before I remember that I hate this chapter and quit.  That's probably not the recommended strategy.  Maybe I need to spend a lot more time crafting in the first scenario.
-'''[Thrash]''' The trick is to try to deal with the demons 1 or 2 at a time while not running out of time. Hopefully some of your secondary units are getting tough enough to gang up on and kill demons as well at this point. Some of the ruins damage units and other do... I don't know what. Once you get past the demons, the fight at the end should be a cake walk.

 ==And Another Orcish Assault==
-'''[WHU]''' I have absolutely no idea what to do with this one.  The demons are so powerful, and the orcs just suicide all of their forces on them, usually one with regrowing, doing little to no damage.  The only way to win is not to play.
+'''[WHU]''' This one has been improved as of 3.2.7d, but it can still be pretty nasty.  The best luck I've had is with Krux helping defend the orc leader while his troops are slaughtered (mostly by suicide), while Vritra leads an assassination force up the east side of the map.  You might get a chance to recruit some fodder, but be aware you'll need as much gold as possible for the next scenario.  Once the demon force is committed to heading south, kill the leader as quickly as possible.
 '''[Thrash]''' This is probably the hardest scenario. I hang back just south of the orcish line and use Vitra and Krux to pick off demons while lettings the orcs shield them from retaliation.

	'''[WHU]''' This scenario is basically a victory lap. All you have to do is keep Efraim and Lethalia from being attacked, and don't move them. You could simply recall everything you can, surround them, and wait. But you also have your entire recall list, gem selection, and inventory from Part II, you could experiment with all kinds of combinations of gear, build some superheroes, and go on offense. It's a game. Play it your way, and have fun.		'''[WHU]''' This scenario is basically a victory lap. All you have to do is keep Efraim and Lethalia from being attacked, and don't move them.

		+	'''[Thrash]''' A couple extra fast and strong recalls will be helpful to explore quickly as time is a bit of an issue. There is nothing else in starting room, and no benefit to villages so don't waste time there. The rooms are always the same but I believe the portals (red circles), which teleport you between rooms, are random but seem to always be symmetrical (if you go through one, the one you arrive at will take you back to where you came.) A portals will be blocked if something sits on the receiving end, so don't send a unit through unless they have some movement as they can get blocked on the portal unable to move and you will be unable to send help to them. I use labels to capture what goes where.
