Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (Hard Mode) - Chapter 9

The first Manakete boss in the game appears. The problem with Manakete bosses (for me) is that the game doesn't state the stat bonuses of the Dragonstone equipped.
The good news is that Manaketes are stuck at 1-range and have low RES so Merric and his Excalibur can handle this.
Although I have a second thief I decided to have Marth perform thief duties on the eastern side of the map. Probably because Marth is better combat-wise than Rikard.
Not sure why Wolf is a General for this map as Hero and its sword access would've been better but I probably did it because his Axe rank wasn't at the point for Hand Axes(?)
