6 tips for new players
Banner of the Maid can be a challenging game for beginners. Its turn-based tactical combat is deep enough to ask players to consider carefully every movement. There are different difficulty levels for those who are struggling the most, but today we want to share with you some tips and tricks that our player 杀意魔恸天哭 wrote originally in Chinese. Some of them are strategic tips – some others are almost exploits, so it’s up to you if you want to use them or if you feel they’re like cheating. In any case, these 6 tips will be of great help for all newcomers!
1. Don’t save too much money! Especially when playing General Mode, try not to keep more than 750 in your coffers. You lose some money when you lose a battle – but you can’t lose what you don’t have! Buying new gear and training new skills is a better use of your treasure.
2. A trick for getting bread and wine for free: you can re-sell any of them after using only 1 unit for its full price, so that means you can get infinite bread and wine!

3. When you unlock the training levels, do not bother training Adélaïde nor Cosette. There are two types of training levels, Offensive and Deffensive. For Deffensive, pick Paulette so you can get the bonus more easily – a weapon that will come handy to defeat a certain hidden boss later on. As for the Offensive levels, heavy cavalry units will be unstoppable -- there are no units to counter them!
4. Don’t try to attack with Support units. Even if you equip them with weapons, their Attack will always be zero.
5. In the École Militaire, get the Skirmisher skill as soon as possible. That will help you to increase your movement range (something vital in certain levels) and get an achievement in a crucial moment.
6. Level up your Support units using their abilities to support other troops in battle. Don’t worry too much about grinding to level them up.
We hope these tips are helpful! Good luck on the battlefield!
