I didn't notice Elice...Well I tried using Maria..she only had a B and a half in healing...I sent Julian and Cain and Maria to get the Aum staff, then i had Navarre kill the boss thne i warped marth there the end. For the final battle Maria died on turn one from a ballista. I warped Cain with gradivus near the boss. Next turn he attakced long range and almost died. He left boss at 36 hp. Navarre gets warped with mercurius ans one hit kills the boss with a critical. When looking back only two chracters died in the entire game; bantu at chap 7 and Maria on chap 25. I have anotpher reason to like myrmidon-swordsmasters. NVARRE IS AWESOME. I didn't even train him much until chapt 16. And can you tell me how arena abuse works? I have no clue. But Navarre is good at trainign in the arena, I won over 50000 in the arena with him and got him over 7 extra lvls (Since 15 was so hard I made another playthrough in which i trianed Navarre)
