Strategy

Kingdom 1 and 2 are the real threat in this battle because they both have the Fireball attack. Since Bastion begins the battle so close to Kingdom 1, have him take him down first, and move the rest of your team members in to help him out. Kingdom 2 will come in to attack you, while the other soldiers will lay low for a bit. Take them both out, and let Cecilia get the kills if she's behind in level. You might be able to earn Turbulence for her in this mission if you play your cards right, and considering Sadira should have it from last mission and Franco and Halak are CLOSE to learning it, you could have Turbulence for 4 team members very soon. That's a VERY good thing. This mission is actually pretty straightforward and easy to complete, providing you take out Kingdom 1 and 2 as soon as you can and you keep your team relatively close together in the process. Strike from behind when you can Make sure you balance out your kills and experience, and you should be able to have your entire team at around Level 11 by the end of this mission, with all of your wind-elemental characters having the Turbulence attack.

Now that the mission is complete..

- Franco, Halak and Cecilia temporarily leave your party.

- You move on to Mission 28

Before beginning Mission 28, save, load stats from Options screen and then Interview. Your other team members are still available for Interview, so talk as you please. Check the Briefing for an overview of what's next, and when you're ready, head to Mission 28: Traitorious Warrior. It's a very.... odd mission.
