Each Cantor summons a specific monster type, ranging from Bonewalkers to Gargoyles to even shambling Necrodragons. See, Cantors donвЂ™t attack you directly, but summon hordes of monsters to do it for them.

These are also magical units, but they arenвЂ™t as aggressive as Witches. That sounds bad, but Witches are nothing compared to Cantors. Pray you never have units with low RES on those maps, as they will be targeted and taken out with ease. Any map with Witches is always harrowing, since they will often port right next to the weakest unit and try and wipe them out. One manifestation of that pact is they can teleport. The Witches in Echoes are mages who sold their immortal souls to the dark god Duma, and were rewarded with terrible power. There are also a couple new enemy unitsВ that will keep you on your toes-Witches and Cantors. While your objectives never vary, the game pits you against very challenging foes and brutal maps where youвЂ™re outnumbered two to one.

Some of you may worry that combat is easier or less challenging, but that couldnвЂ™t be farther from the truth. Not a deal breaker, but unfortunate all the same.Д®very time Sonya does a critical attack, the camera pans to her cleavage just before, and then she unleashes magical fury. I would have enjoyed surviving for a set amount of turns or any other objectives. Each mission objective in Echoes is the same, either rout all enemies or beat the commander. I had no problem with that, though I was a little disappointed by the lack of diversity compared to FE Fates: Conquest. I could still jump between units using the shoulder buttons, and the grid always made certain I knew the danger zones. While that was a definite oversight, it was a relatively minor one. The one curiosity I found is that I couldnвЂ™t bring up a mini map showing my unit/enemy position on the field, though you can bring up an image showing a tally mark of how many units remain on each team. Terrain effects were especially useful, boosting your evasion greatly, unless youвЂ™re facing a spellcaster, since magic ignores terrain.

During combat, you can pull up a grid showing enemy movement range, and you individually control your units and end your turn. You will have a skirmish once you encounter an enemy on the map, where sometimes enemy generals will throw minionsВ at you if you tarry too long getting to the next story mission. Nothing says a fun time like evil eyeball monsters!ДЄs far as how combat plays out, itвЂ™s pretty much unchanged.
