Strategy

You require 1,000 KOs to complete this mission, and reinforcements will appear every 100 KOs until 800. You may want to eliminate Gharnef as soon as you can to delay the enemy gaining morale, but otherwise you should ignore the captains and focus on the crowds of weak enemies accompanying each. Travel in a circle, keeping an eye on your map to see where new reinforcements appear and prioritizing them. Ignoring the captains will mean that they'll eventually boost morale, which is troublesome as their damage output increases drastically, but you won't finish the map in 7 minutes if you take time to eliminate each of them.

As you're limited to bows, take advantage of their good attack radius and try to hit multiple clumps of enemies with your weak attack string and fifth strong attack. This will also help build up your Warrior Gauge, which should be used on a fresh batch of enemies.
