5 Turns. (!)

I had to change my last turn of Chapter 2 slightly for this, by having Merlinus buy one more Iron Lance and Roy trading Dieck for the Armorslayer before he seized.
Another fun chapter. Long RN burns are now being sped up so as to reduce the length of the video. Turn 1 is awesome, Chad's ability to rescue Shanna gives me the extra tile I need to get Roy to the boss in time. Chad with no Sword can take exactly one hit from Soldiers, and his 6 mov lets him sneak into a corner and be safe on Turn 3. Also, Shanna with +2 def over base is not OHKO'd by the first Archer! Impressive. In case you're not familiar with how Merlinus works in this game, he's basically immortal. When he dies he'll come back next map, so he's exempt from the "no deaths" rule I've put on myself for this run.
There are basically no significant chances of death on this chapter aside from Bors needing to dodge at least one attack out of all the ones he gets hit by, and Roy needing to dodge at least once on Turn 2 and Turn 4. Technically Alan is in a risky position on Turn 4 but that's because I purposely didn't have him use a Vulnerary so I could get the Knight to attack him instead, which spreads EXP since he can actually damage the Knight and stops Shanna leveling up by 1 EXP at the end of the map (less of a headache to fix a levelup next chapter).
The final turn looks gross and is so implausible but it's pretty much the only way to 5 turn this map. Alternatively Roy has to crit twice on enemy phase, and that might be slightly more likely due to his Rapier having base crit but way harder to rig. I ran through about 5000 RNs to try to find a perfect levelup for Marcus and couldn't get it, so I settled for all stats but Luck. I guess you could say...Marcus was a bit UNLUCKY.
