Hello there,

Does anyone have any advice for the second mission of the first campaign? I made sure to level up my heroes as much as reasonably possible on the first mission (Lysander to 18, one to 15, the others 11 or 12), but it feels like the neutral stack you have to fight through to get to the sword to fulfill the second trial is almost insurmountable on champion level, especially as it grows over time, negating any possible strategy of waiting for the monks and crusaders to slowly build up.

Should I replay the first mission and boringly grind out a few more levels by waiting for neutral stacks to spawn every month? Or, since only one of my paladins has Song of Peace and neither has Sanctuary, maybe I should pay more attention to magic in the first mission.

Just wanted to see if anyone hit a similar roadblock on champion difficulty in the second mission before I go back and replay the first mission!

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Second mission is really tough, I had to go back to the first one and level up the heroes differently. If you're gonna do that, make sure every caster has sanctuary and every fighter the combat skill. It was a long time ago, so I can't give any more detail.
