Map

The Turning Tides map

Mercia begins the mission with her Groove fully charged, allowing her heal all allies in a large radius.

Strategy

Hint: Nuru's guards must be taken down!

Unlike the sixth Puzzle map (Surrounded), this one really does hinge on using Mercia's Healing Aura properly. Nuru starts off surrounded, but must be attacked by four units to be defeated.

Then the southern Swordsman has to attack Nuru first to die from her attack.
