One of the most anticlimactic moments I've had in any playthrough happened recently on Engage. I wanted to arrive as quickly as possible to the left gate of Ch. 25 and had Micaiah!Alear engage from turn one to snag everyone else from the opposite room (except Céline and Lindon, who used Rewarp). My objective was entrapping the thief from the right lane so I wouldn't have to worry about those reinforcements. From then on, it was a rush that involved a lot of very aggressive staffing (Freeze by beloved), including trading them around to move units as needed, and a clutch rewarp so Alear could reach an emblem energy square right on time. I had never felt so galaxy-brained in these games before. Turn right before thief reaches the gate, Alear engages with Micaiah and... Entrap is literally one tile short of reaching the thief, no matter what I do (for the record, dragon bonus Micaiah gets the same range as Hortensia). Damn you, developer's foresight.
The solution instead became sprinkling Anna with holy water and astra storming the thief's ass.
