How to Clear the White Horse Raid in Jian'an Outer History: A Quick Guide

The White Horse Raid in Jian'an Outer History is a key early battle, combining the enemy cavalry's high-speed charge with long-range suppression, testing the player's formation and counterattack strategies. This level has a slightly higher difficulty, but there are certain techniques that can help everyone clear it quickly. Today, I will bring you a speedrun guide for the White Horse Raid in Jian'an Outer History. In this level, you need to precisely allocate character roles and skill release rhythms to avoid mission failure due to casualties.

At the beginning, place a tank-type character (like Xiahou Bo) in the middle of the front row, equipped with a shield and armor that increases block rate, to attract the first wave of enemy cavalry charges. Place ranged attackers (like Zhang Liao) on both sides, using their weapons' advantage over cavalry to quickly clear the field. Keep at least one healer (like Liu Bei) in the back row to ensure the front line's health is maintained each turn. In the first round, the enemy cavalry will charge in a straight line, let the tank absorb the damage, while the gunners focus fire on the leading enemies. However, make sure to prioritize Guan Yu's health, keeping him in the back row, as his death will directly result in mission failure.

In the second round, the enemy archers will appear on high ground. Send a highly mobile character, such as Zhao Yun, to flank them. Equip Zhao Yun with shoes that increase movement, allowing him to circle around from the right side of the map through the forest to avoid direct confrontation with the cavalry, then engage the archers in close combat to trigger melee bonuses. If the damage output is insufficient, give Zhao Yun an attack buff potion beforehand to ensure the archers are cleared within two turns. Meanwhile, continue to hold the front line, and have the healer remove any bleeding debuffs from the enemy cavalry.

In the fourth round, the boss, the Righteous Men of the White Horse, appears with an area-of-effect charge skill. At this point, save crowd control skills (such as Jian Yong's stun) for the boss, interrupting its charge during the charging animation, or else the charge can instantly kill squishy characters. Focus your main damage dealers on attacking the boss, but do not let your characters stand in a straight line to avoid being pierced by the charge. If the boss's health drops below 30%, it will summon reinforcements. Pre-arrange AOE characters at the reinforcement spawn points, using fire rain skills to clear the area.

Prepare plenty of recovery items before the battle. Use the gold wound medicine dropped during the fight on healers first to ensure the healing chain is not broken. If the pressure from the enemy's damage output is too high, spend strategy points to activate Zhang Fei's Wu Shuang mode to increase critical hit rate. Be sure to take the White Horse reins from the loot, which can be used later to craft a speed-enhancing mount. If you fail multiple times, return to the main city to upgrade gunner technology, increasing the damage bonus against cavalry.

The core of the White Horse Raid lies in controlling the rhythm. The basic logic of tanks holding the line, gunners countering, and mobile units flanking should not be disrupted. Avoid overextending in pursuit of damage, which can lead to a disorganized formation. Make good use of the SL method to restart and adjust positioning, and once familiar with the enemy's action sequence, you can consistently clear the level.
