Gee, I wonder who appears in this battle, huh?

The Toyotomi forces head out to Itsukushima to meet the Olympians waiting for Zeus's arrival. They also bring Zhao Yun, Naotora, Ling Tong, and Gan Ning along with them. We've only got a few enemy officers, including Wang Yi, to deal with at first. Once we clear them out the objective becomes to keep the enemy forces outside of specific points. This is because we don't want them meeting up with Zeus when he makes touchdown because the coalition wants a chance to talk with him and figure out what the hell he's been planning this whole time.

Towards the south we'll have various officers rush us, with the most threatening ones being Pang De and Yu Jin due to them being power types and generally pretty damn strong in their own right. After stopping their advance, the Olympians will charge. Athena leads a force where you were just defending while Cao Pi and Ares advance with their armies on the other side that's defended by Mitsunari.

Around this time, Zeus will appear in the north right on top of Zhao Yun and Naotora. Zeus is an...eccentric fellow. Pretty true to character if you're familiar with Greek mythology whatsoever. He's also DAMN strong. He will tear through Deified Naotora and Zhao Yun in a very short amount of time, then make his way towards Hideyoshi who ironically last longer simply due to commander stat boosts.

You could go and try to rescue Zhao Yun and Naotora first, but then you'll miss out on the EXP from the rest of the officers in the stage so I prefer not to. Athena should be easy enough to deal with first and mop up the enemies on their side. Cao Pi and Ares may provide more of a challenge since they have Cai Wenji and Zhenji on their side as well, so that's 4 officers at once.

After that there are two officers that just sit at the south for all eternity for no apparent reason. Those can just be ignored. So really all we have is Zeus himself. Zeus actually managed to kill me once though I didn't show it since the checkpoint was a ways off and that was about 5 minutes I didn't think worth showing. 

Zeus fights like a Deity officer, using magic A LOT, all of which is unique to him and leaving AoE markers for you to avoid. He also musous quite frequently making it pretty intense to fight him. He's also a power type so you can't brute force him like his children. He can do a quick lightning dash to ram into you, summon a ball of lightning that chases after you, and his musou has him just drop a big ol' lightning ball in front of him which is basically instant death. He has a grab in his moveset so if he starts wailing on you, use one of your escape methods immediately cuz that grab will no doubt kill you. Once he's defeated, we'll have won the stage.

I leveled up Nagamasa because I genuinely like playing him, he's been one of my SW favorites since SW2. He's a Normal type which is generally nothing to get too excited over but he has a lot of range and a generally safe moveset. A couple of his early Charge attacks, I think his C4 and C5, weirdly don't let you do a Switch Combo after them. No idea why that is, some weird oversight I suppose. He has the Boots as his Sacred Treasure which is...less than ideal. But his musou is one of the better SW ones since he attacks rapidly before doing the cinematic finisher.
