Three Brothers Triangle Attack

As expected, I was finally able to beat Naesala using the three brothers' triangle attack. What I didn't expect was the way in which it happened.

As we know, to use the triangle attack the three have to be around the enemy within attacking distance. In this case, they have to be two squares away from my selected bird foe, as they're using bows.

Oscar had taken his place to Naesala's right. Rolf hadn't moved yet, because I planned for him to get the critical hit. I moved Boyd into place at Naesala's left, and the triangle attack activated. Wait, what? Here is my lame MS Paint version of the formation that worked:

It wasn't until the following day, when contemplating yet again why that worked, that it occurred to me Rolf was equipped with the longbow. So theoretically, even though they weren't officially in the proper formation, Rolf was within striking distance.

Boyd critical hit, then Rolf critical hit with the laguz bow, and he was done.

Fantastic! I can beat anyone like this!

In other archer news: I'm in line to order a Shinon plushie from eERIechan on DeviantART. THIS EXCITES ME SO MUCH you have no idea. He'll be fully equipped with bow & arrows, too. squee!
