Yup, you can see it on the Mess Hall page. In Lunatic, the Mess Hall is just outright amazing. If you can get someone like Flora/Peri/Jakob in it, you're golden because they give huge statboosters. I'm finally close to the end of my Lunatic Girls Only Conquest run, right after the males only. I've done enough planning to make the Final Chapter a cakewalk, and the last true obstacle is Chapter 26. Hopefully it won't be as hard as 25 now that I know the tricks and did my planning. By the way, I'm impatient to see your units for your semi-no-royals run. Would be really interesting to look at it.

Don't forget you can use the Light Brand as a vulnerary too. You should just have Leaf equipped with the Wind Sword, the Light Brand, and 5 Door Keys -that you either got earlier on, or bought at the chapter 8 shop-, while Othin should have the chest keys from earlier on. (I hope you gave them to Othin/Marty?) Use the Wind Sword to kill stuff, and keep the light brand as a mass vulnerary. But yeah, fuck that chapter.

Leaf's stats are okay for 8x, what a shock! Keep on those Light Brand uses. They're that valuable for this hell of a chapter. Don't forget too you can buy door keys on chapter 8's shop. ^^

Next chapter is basically why you shouldn't do Super Thracia blind. Seriously. What happens here can just make you go nuts if you're blind. BTW, who are you gonna train on chapter 6? Asvel, Karin or Fergus? Or even Machua? (imo Asvel/Karin are the best to train there, simply because Asvel is OP -something never changes- and Karin can use the flier glitch)

He's that one guy that was brought earlier on the topic with the 4 rallies (Str, Spd, Def, Res) at chapter 23.

1- First build the Staff Shop then either the Armory if you plan on using Mozu (to get her a weapon) then the Mess. 2- Spam tonics and use the mess as much as possible. Free statboosters are just that great. Use the lottery to get free items too. 3- Use Niles. Just use him. He gets Shurikenbreaker which allows him to literally fuck all over chapter 25. 4- Use the Royals to death. Xander is a beast on his own, Leo's a magic powerhouse, Camilla's Camilla, and Elise is great. 5- (IMO) pick as a talent Wyvern Rider or get it from Camilla/Beruka. You're gonna like having swordbreaker to draw as much time as possible against Ryoma, having a flier is always great, especially for chapter 21, and Wyverns are cool. 6- Never use your rescues unless necessary until the final boss. You'll need them for the 1-turn kill. 7- You'll also probably need Arthur with Agressor + Axefaire and the Rainbow dude. 8- Use Freeze whenever you need to break an enemy offense. It's really important to have some Freezes nearby. 9- Try to get the KamuiSexuals so you can use them as pair-up bots to have less units to train. 10- Use the Path Bonus items. Keep the boots for the last chapter though because you have yet to decide the unit who's gonna ferry your bosskiller. (personnally it was Niles ferrying Arthur with Pass) I think that's all. Point 2 is the most important.

In terms of units, both are pretty good if you don't consider the existence of Lobster Lord. (who is basically the best character of Birthright) Hana is a super fast strong damage dealer that can also be used as a magekiller... Though we have ton of those in birthrights. However, Hana's niche is that she does it with a sword, and will double like everything on her way. She just doesn't have the 1-2 Astra Activator that nukes everything to make her OP. Hinata, on the other hand, is more of an all-rounder, due to his personal growths combined to his class growths. He'll do good, but since the only true tanks you need in birthright are Ryoma and Oboro... Sure? I mean, they're purely outclassed by Ryoma. But I like Hana more.

The shit is only that it gets impossible towards the end without glitch abusing or sacrificing units. Right now, I don't think there's any way of clearing it without cheating or abusing the Flier Glitch.

Ooooh... I remember this. I finished it. Though weirdly I find it less hard than Conquest's Lunatic. Probably the savestate potential. May your sanity be pre... Just kidding, we all know it won't be. Tips : - For whatever reason, T3 Fliers can't be targeted by the AI. I tell you this because it's literally your life-saver for the end missions if you don't want to cheat. - Don't forget to heavily train Leaf for 8x, Othin and Marty while buying door keys at chapter 8's shop. - On the final chapter, you can capture the first boss without having to fight. - Farm with Azvel, Machua or Karin the Zerker Army so you get an early promoted unit. This is especially useful for Karin because point one exists. - Marty's skill allows him to have any of his weapons have a brave effect. It's not the greatest, but it can be gimmicky af for captures and stuff like that. - Only deploy the strict minimum in chapter 24 so you can live by exploiting the flier glitch. I won't hold it against you if you hack SDrinks though. Super Thracia's insanity is also caused by the fatigue mechanic.

For having used both Meg and Fiona in a hard mode playthrough, while I think your hindsight on Fiona is right (she's usable, but takes way too much investment -mainly 2 levels of Speed in BeXP- and only ends up average), Meg usually ends up better if you're the kind to get screwed by hitrates (and therefore Eddy/Zihark suck for you). She needs one level of Speed BeXP to stop getting threatened by anything on the map. While I agree she needs more ressources than Edward or Zihark, I feel like she's a better unit for the chapters the DB has to face in part 3. BTW, for transfer items, you forgot about Callil's Meteor if you want to get the Soren event.

I don't think you should randomize movement from 1 to 9, for your sanity. Randomize it from 6 or 7 to 9 if you wanna live. This looks like it's possible to have the legendary 0/0/0 1 use devil weapon here!

I did that. Ewan was on Moulder's slot. Guess what? It failed. I still have the chapter 6 save in case someone better than I at this job figures it out, but maybe I can do this without a Summoner. However, I think Ewan is literally my only healer, meaning it's gonna be me and Elixirs in the lategame. I'll probably have to arena farm for some money in chapter 10. Thanks. It's gonna be super duper hard, but at least it gives me something to chew before Fates' release. I still don't get how Orson was able to summon just fine but not Ewan. xD EDIT : And I just realized Ismaire was on my playable list. I'll train her. Soon. EDIT 2 : And my new unit (the one I'll get in Chapter 9) is probably my favorite unit in the entire run. BTW, in case I get monster units : Should I give them some promotion bonuses? Because having none just sucks, but I guess I can roll with it.

Part 2! [spoiler=Training Camp (Ch.8 + interlude)] Yup. Devil Weapons hurt, huh? HUH? HUH? Aaaand he dies because 30% is not 0%. Speed = Good level. Formation at the end of T1. We need to burst through these dudes fast... Because this happens. Here they come. Boom! We finally reunite with Lute! While Cormag kills the cavaliers and gets to lv20. You know what that means! IT'S HAPPENING IT'S HAPPENING IT'S HAPPENING PRO-MO-TION Whoah, his defense cap is crap though. A few levels gained here and there by using their abilities. Moving on while feeding Lute xp. I need her as high levelled as possible atm. Uuuugh... Getting past this knight was a pain. But in the end I got through this fucker and was able to feed Lute more exp : I wasn't kidding with the name of this chapter. All I did was giving Lute xp. Got Silver Sword + Robe. I don't need the Elysian Whip because none of my units are Fliers. Here's Tirado. He's not that of a threat, only because he's lv1. If he were lv5 or something like that, it'd have been way much harder. But the RNG is literally with him, as he hits a 31% and I miss 2 67% in a row. Fuck. This. Bastard. But in the end, justice triumphs, while Lute misses on two of her high growths (Spd and Res) and obviously fails to cap speed to give me the finger. I'm not that of a masochist, so I'll go with Eirika. [spoiler=Character Analysis] Forde is a nice unit. He can dodge and deal damage. I don't expect him to survive more than two hits most of the time though. The thing is that, thanks to Mr.Night's playthrough, I remember I'll be able to promote him not once, but twice, which is pretty cool. I think I'll make of him a Swordmaster. I don't have any crit weapon for lethality, and he'll benefit from the higher strength cap. Plus Female Swordmaster simply looks cooler. Innes is a crutch character as its best. I'm totally reliant on his growths for him to be viable. He could end up either being total trash or something viable. I think I'll have to rig some of his levels during the tower farming. Cormag is a good unit. If his speed and strength growths cooperate, he'll end up great. I don't expect him to tank a lot of magic-related things, but he's great at tanking physical based damage early on, and his speed isn't too bad so it's okay. He hurts quite hard, but his con still remains a little bit low. I'm really disappointed in Ewan, simply because this moron can't summon. I just hope some magic tomes are worth it. Luna penetrates resistance, Thunder can poison and Flux has eclipse effect, so it's not too bad tbh. His speed/skill/health are pretty nice, who make him not this much of a letdown. Plus he's the only staff user I have for now. (and maybe for the whole game) Natasha is literally a joke. These are the stats you'd expect of a lv5 base FE unit (and I'm nice), on a lv14 Dancer. Why. Just. Why. The only redeeming factor she has is being a dancer. But since I can't summon to bait enemy AI, she's gonna have a hard time. She, along Forde and Lute, is therefore a primary candidate for Robes. All of Lute's bases minus HP are pretty good. And, since she'll undergo through two promotions, like Forde, her stats won't be too bad in the end. I just hope her bad HP won't make of chapter 15 a pain. [spoiler=??? (BONUS CONTENT)] Just for fun, and because I think all of you are pretty curious, here are the other characters I recruited but couldn't use! Growths : 50% HP 0% Str 40% Skill 10% Spd 115% Luck 90% Def 60% Res To be honest, I'm kinda happy I didn't recieve him. His bases are garbage and his growths mean he can only be somewhat of a meat tank. The issue is just reaching a stade where his defense is high enough for him to tank early on. A complete trash. Growths : 70% HP 60% Str 60% Skl 10% Spd 60% Lck 0% Def 70% Res Tethys wouldn't have been that of a bad unit. Sure, her Spd and Def are awful, but as long as she hits hard in one shot and can tank all the 1-2 weapons, she might have done good as a weakener. Her health growth is pretty good, and her skl growth makes it easy for her to aim. Overall, she'd have been an Average+ unit. Growths : 0% HP 0% Str 60% Skl 5% Spd 135% Lck 65% Def 50% Res If you thought Hayden was trash... Here's Knoll. He'd have been literally untrainable or just a steel sword eclipse bot. 6 speed along average durability is literally unsalvageable. Growths : 70% HP 10% Str 15% Skl 25% Spd 80% Lck 65% Def 30% Res Yup, a totally messed up unit. She's just bad. She can be redeemable if her minion weapon is great, but she's just meh. Growths : 55% HP 125% Str 70% Skl 0% Spd 135% Lck 0% Def 10% Res Okay, Franz is literally worse than Natasha. I can't believe it. I simply can't. Do Dancers in Magvel take steroids? Growths : 40% HP 50% Str 90% Skl 0% Spd 5% Lck 0% Def 55% Res Another WTF character I'm happy I haven't gotten. Seriously, 0 Spd 5 Lck for a myrmidon? This is hilarious. Growths : 0% HP 125% Str 75% Skl 15% Spd 80% Lck 45% Def 25% Res A subpar character. Her health is crap, her strength and skill are good, her speed is awful, and her durability is meh. 90% HP 65% Str 15% Skl 35% Spd 50% Lck 95% Def 20% Res An average character, that'd have actually been hit or miss regarding his speed procs. His speed base is awful to be honest. Growths : 5% HP 15% Str 65% Skl 50% Spd 5% Lck 15% Def 80% Res Average growths. His health growth is awful, but his base is nice. His strength is garbage, but if there's any Eclipse Axe it could have been solved very easily thanks to his great skill. His speed is also good. His luck is awful and if there's any devil axes in there, he'd just have been very annoying to use. His def is okay but his base is good so it's alright, and he'd be a great mage-killer I guess with that res growth. Overall a good unit regarding the average. (I didn't put the Ross/Garcia replacements because they're dead so I'm lazy; sue me)

Thanks! The thing is that it probably might not end well, to tell you the truth. Expect some possible recruitements to die if it's impossible to recruit them (unless they're forced, in that case I'll just heavily buff their durability sacrificing every other stat), and some farming to be imposed. (simply because when the game spits out promoted units, I need to farm to keep my units on the level) !Kyle was a myrmidon and !Forde a cavalier. This xD triggers me so much xD I think you just don't get how powerful will each enemy be in the end. I expect them to have nearly every stat capped. At that point, any point of HP is just heavily welcome. Even a 5% defense proc would save me. So far, each weapon I've encountered is either a Magic Weapon, a Poison Weapon, a Devil Weapon, an Eclipse Weapon or a Reverse Weapon (you'll see that one in the update). It's pretty weird. The only exception is the Iron Axe iirc. Time for not one, not two, but three chapters at once in a two parters! Woo-hoo, Batman! [spoiler=Fog of Resets + Infinite Ballista (6 + 7)] Time to promote Ewan! Summon is OP, there's no reason not to go summoner. ... ... Excepted Ewan can't summon. The fuck. I tried to use all my nightmare skills to make him summon after that point. Nevertheless, it still failed hard. I'm only calm at this because I knew I tried my best and then accepted my fate : This game doesn't want to be cheesed. Crap. This game probably defeated me on the spot. But I won't give up so easily. Promoting him to Druid instead. The low magic sucks, but I feel Eclipse tomes shall redeem him. The formation on turn 1. I don't care about you. None of my units are Archers and iirc I can't use any archer, so goodbye. Here's why the heavy spear is both a great and a shitty weapon. Btw Steel Axe hits resistance for no reason. Those are ones of many. Let's do this! He gets a nice level up from that, regarding his growths. And the Iron Blade is the first reverse weapon. It also has 45 uses and a really nice mt, as you can see, which will make it literally excellent once I can buy it. Here is the awful formation I'm in. Believe me or not, I'll survive this. Gotcha! This dude was a pain. His good defense + reaver combo made it hard for Innes + Forde (the only units able to damage/hit him minus Flux!Ewan) to kill him. But he's worth the pain, since he gives me that swiggity swooty Blade. Stabilized here. Natasha's at safety in her spot, Ewan can heal anyone, and the frontliners are strong enough to survive assaults. Levels up! Both are, needless to say, extremely good regarding the situation I'm in. Phew, safe. Just has to heal Cormag over and over to give Ewan staff exp now. SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKERS That spider just appears of out no effing where. Hopefully she didn't do anything dangerous, but I just don't know what would happen if it was in the middle of the fight when Natasha would have been in its range. Gosh. Clearing the Area! Levels up! Forde and Ewan's disappoint me a little bit, but Cormag's nice and Natasha is just being Natasha. Here is the boss, Novala. To be honest, he's not that of a pain. He's not a threat to Forde at all, and I still have... The Eclipse steel sword. He goes down, and Forde caps luck. What is nice with Forde is that now I'm almost certain I can give him Devil Weapons without fearing too much them backfiring on me. (just 1% for that to happen, come on) Meaning he can use the armorslayer in peace. We clear the area, while Cormag gets an okay-ish-ly bad level. Forde gets a level from clearing up the enemies below... And we move on, with everyone being paralyzed by this fucking mage. WHOAH To be honest, the mage pulled off a crit right before, so that's just payback. meh.jpg My basic plan was to get the ballista destroyed to move while healing with Ewan... Until I realized the ballista also benefitted from the randomization and had therefore 15+ uses. Natashalvl.jpg Yup, those Archers are really bad in terms of defense. If he keeps on getting levels like that, I'm really gonna have him to be just a rescue-bot. With the Eclipse weapons I have, all I need from him are at least Spd + Skl and additionally HP + Res a level. I really need the speed levels for him to keep up. You've gotta be kidding me. Iron Bow hits resistance. Joy. He got killed by the two archers. I love how Cormag's hyper high defense is totally neglected by the fact half the enemies' weapons hit res. Hurray! His defense makes him annoying, but he doesn't deal any damage to half my team so that's okay. So we weaken him with the Armorslayer, and end him with an Iron Sword for Forde to get his last level. At least he proc'd something, I guess?

I think he sadly only capped his speed towards lv12-15. He still has an HP growth to proc, and I need literally every durability point I can get before the lategame part. [spoiler=Phantom Balooza (Chapter 5x)] Here is our Ephraim replacement! What are her growths, you may ask? 0% HP 0% Str 80% Skl 85% Spd 100% Luck 5% Def 70% Res The fuck. Talk about a min-maxer here. And here is literally our life-savior for this chapter, Orson the summoner. His growths for the lolz : 10% HP 110% Mag 10% Skill 75% Speed 10% Luck 50% Def 60% Res Sure, give the good growths to these kind of units... Off we go! Luna's accuracy is also garbage btw. First kill, first level up. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? THE FUCKING DRAGONSPEAR IS ANOTHER DEVIL WEAPON AZDHQOZDHQIODHOQIHEOFHUSDFHQZUDQZOQHIOFGZDQDZQFGEDQZ! I need my medicine... And Lute dies yet again... and again... and again... Seems like it's a mission for CAPTAIN PHANTOM Cornering archers! Weakening and killing soldiers! Feeding Lute mobs! Baiting enemies! Showing us new weapons! CAPTAIN PHANTOM! And Lute dying again... I HATE YOU Last Lute level for the chapter. Here is the boss. Can't you notice something wrong with him? No? You can't? None. Of. My. Units. Can. Reliably. Deal. Damage. To. Him. What is my plan then? Here is a small bug I've found in the Randomizer that allows us to summon again even if there's a summon. Don't worry, I probably won't exploit this later on with Ewan. But here, I'm forced. I need to get Orson to lv20 so his summons get stronger and have a chance dealing damage to Zonta. Here is our lv19 Summon (lv20 had the same stats iirc) But guess what???? IT STILL DOESN'T DEAL ANY DAMAGE TO ZONTA FUCK PLAN H H LIKE HARD ASS RIGGING Ruadath, if you ever read this, I'm still wondering how do you have the patience to rig the things you rig while rigging this kind of shit for me is insanely tedious. FUCK YOU And the Luna tome broke for me never to give it to Ewan. Joy. Here is level 20 Orson btw, just for the lolz.

Aight, so I switch my votes : ClaudexAideen and AzelxLachesis. AzelxLachesis is an awesome pairing.

Nah. Flux isn't a Devil Tome, which means I'm still alive. Innes can be pretty good though regarding the amount of Eclipse weapons I get. Those can salvage any unit with bad strength. Cormag's HP and skill bases get over his low growths in that domain. Natasha's just hilarious. Time for Chapter 5! [spoiler=The chapter formerly known as ARENA ARENA ARENA] Sigh. Look at these bases. He's not that OP unit I was speaking earlier on (that you didn't give to me), but damn those bases are good. And of course I can't use him. Fuck this. Enemies are already stepping up. His durability is garbage, but remember my units have almost no strength or have devil weapons or eclipse weapons. His offense is actually very threatening to Forde or Natasha, i.e units with no defense. Softening up mobs with Innes so I can distribute xp. Formation at the beginning of turn 2. (for those wondering, the other dancer is Franz, who replaces Natasha and is iirc way better in terms of growths than her) Hitting clutch hits. Seriously, the weapon triangle is a bitch here. No. NO. NO YOU'VE GOTTA BE SHITTING ME THE SLIM LANCE HAS DEVIL REVERSAL TOO FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK ... Please... Why does half of my weapon set is devilish... That'd almost make me believe in Loptous. Oh well, another blank level. What did I expect already? Okay, Innes, bait Saleh. And annihilate this asshole. Saleh FINALLY recruited. ... I don't even know what to say. And Natasha dies. Lives off with 1 HP. HURRAY SNIPING Forde and Cormag making up for their awful level. Btw Heavy Spear totally OP. This weapons weights Cormag down for a fuck-ton, but it's still a great weapon because it's A- Not a devil weapon B- A weapon that has tremendous accuracy and mt C- A weapon that is not likely to be equipped by enemies Nice level ups? At least that makes up for all the Devilish luck I've gotten yet. Finishing the bandits. I need to have all the villages secured. Natasha capped skill. Hurray! Now, what I do : I buy a shitton of vulneraries, and get into the arena. I have no healers, so this is gonna be very tedious, but I need to get Ewan from lv2 to lv20. That's why this chapter took two days for me to actually do it. Just showing some kinda unfair match-ups for the lolz. FINALLY Also, Natasha is close to capping strength lol. Saar is nothing threatening. Luna has shit accuracy and shit damage too. Yup, not a threat at all. You'll also remark there's no death count anymore. The reason is simply because if I took into account all of Ewan's deaths in the arena, we'd still be there tomorrow.

If only you knew... Since chapter 5 is gonna take longer than I thought, have chapter 4! [spoiler=Free xp load (Chapter 4)] Since my final goal is to make of Ewan a Summoner, I need to promote him to Shaman. (I hacked a Master Seal to do so, sue me) Flux looks like an okay tome. Since Ewan has nice skill, he might be able to make it work. UNLESS IT ACTUALLY SHOWS ITS TRUE COLORS AS A FUCKING ECLIPSE WEAPON ARFQIOHFDQZO It'd be a nice eclipse weapon if the accuracy wasn't fucking awful too. Meanwhile, we get a nice gift from Fado (Artur replacement, Trainee Soldier (2)) This weapon. This. Weapon. 13 damage. 90 accuracy. I don't care about the weight. It makes Cormag's damage skyrocket compared to anything we got before. hi (and yes, Evil Eye is an eclipse weapon for w/ever reason) Hm. You fucking absurd Myrmidon who can't dodge 3 40% hitrates. Death count : 4 (Fordex2, Cormag, Ewan) At least you might be able to dodge? +Speed capped next level, hurray! Two blank levels from zombies. I hate you. I... have no words. Not that bad, I guess. We clear the last of the reinforcements! All that's left right now is this pathetic piece of trash. It's just a failure of a boss. Ewan gets a level from weakening him... And Cormag finishes him off for a last level. Later!

Fufufufu. I've countered your plan. You'll see it in this update. [spoiler=Banditos of BS + Walls of Training (C2&3)] Ahahahaha. No way I'm saving that. RIP Kyle. Garcia is Colm, so I don't fucking care. Both of you can go straight to hell. Ewan, come on... FordeLvl.Jpg Let's give Ewan his first kill, shall we? WHAT YOU FUCKING PIECE OF CRAP FIRE IS A DEVIL WEAPON THIS GAME WANTS ME DEAD WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY I'll solve that with Shopping. Iron Axe's uses are also infinite, so it's really cheap. Hurray! Time to train Ewan. Bye bye! (he got 1-shot by the Archer lol) Nice level up. Speed is always welcome, and he can't proc magic so w/ever. Iron Sword also poisons. Weeee. Damn! Reset! Resets : 3 (Forde, Cormag, Ewan) Forde is probably gonna cap his luck before being promoted. Good, because I'll need a dodge tank. I think he'll be better on Assassin because who cares about more crit when you only tink. There's only this one bandit left + the Colm-killing archer. As expected, none of them are threats. And Ewww-an gets his last level from the chapter. Now, time for Chapter 3! If you don't know this, in Chapter 3, you start just in front of a bandit... blocked by a wall he can't break. I have a 1-2 pupil who deals no damage to train. Guess how I'll do this? FIRE SPAM ON THE BANDIT (it deals exactly one damage) Here is the new unit, Natasha! (the cavalier was Knoll, the literally shittiest unit in any randomizing run because his growths always manage to be crap) Here are her growths : 70% HP 45% Str 115% Skl 25% Spd 60% Luck 35% Def 30% Res I don't know what's with her growths. Skilled dancer lol. Her speed is gonna be garbage, but her durability will probably be high enough for her not to be 1-shot. Will need to be kept safe. Here are all the levels he got from this dude. Not bad, not bad. Finally putting an end to his miserable life while Forde gets a nice level. Training Cormag by having him sniping everyone. He gets one blank level, and strength + luck on the other, which is nice considering his growths. I don't even question this level. Cormag snipes the bandit and gets a really nice level! Meanwhile, Forde kills the merc and gets another okay-ish/good level. At least there's strength. Oh, Bazba. Dear Hard Mode Buffed Randomized Bazba. Kindly, fuck you. 17 defense + 10 resistance + throne bonus is a pain. He also mains axes, when one of my unit is a lance user. Ewan deals no damage. Both Innes and Forde can't damage him too. Cormag has no accuracy. What is my solution? The lifesaving steel sword. He's now at 1 HP, we can do this! FINALLY +FordeLvl.jpg to end the chapter

Finally. I'm starting the run now. [spoiler=It begins now (Prologue + Chapter 1)] Here is our lord. As you can see... Her bases are bad. 0 luck means devil reversal will piss me off unless she has a high luck growth, and the defense + HP mix is horrible. Don't even talk about 3 strength. Hopefully we'll get light effective weapons/magic swords/eclipse weapons for her to deal effective damage. Her growths : 20% HP 45% Strength 30% Skill 100% Speed 175% Luck 25% Def 0% Res Whoah. Talk about the epitome of "I dodge hits and nothing else". 45% strength makes her damage average. Though 20% HP/25% Def/0% Res makes her dead to anything that hits in the lategame, especially with all promoted bosses having capped stats, I guess. This is gonna be a pain. Here is our Seth, Innes. He has average bases in term of offense, but whoah that defense is probably enough to carry us in the earlygame. 42 HP/14 Def/17 Res is just great in the early game, and most enemies will tink him which gives me a TANK. Yeah. This is crazy. His growths : 75% HP 20% Str 85% Skill 30% Speed 45% Luck 20% Def 40% Res He's like an FE6 character. Either that 30% speed will pay off either he's gonna be horrible. At least in the lategame he can still be a meatshield and won't have a lot of trouble hitting people, I guess. That can make him pick up legendary weapons if I need damage. Off we go! (this dude's health is not 10, he got his health reduced by a steel sword hit from Innes iirc) FUCK Armorslayer is a devil weapon. We get our first main weapon (Forde only comes with an Armorslayer) to be a devil weapon. Why game, why. Here is the boss, O'neil. With our team, he's nothing too threatening. He doesn't hit hard and his defense is pierced by the Armorslayer. It was however noticeable he OHKOes Forde. Yeah, crazy. 63% hitrate with 31% of it backfiring. You just got burned. Here's our first level. Speed and Luck are basically mandatory each level for him. I think we'll see a lot of +2 Luck levels, which can't be that bad since we need Luck to face off the devil reversal on Armorslayer. Meanwhile, Strength and HP are pretty much unexpected with the low HP growth and the average strength growth. Nice! Apparently Innes' Steel Sword is an Eclipse Weapon. Joy. And we die off to DevilArmorslayerReversal. First official reset of the run. The first of many. Resets : 1 (Forde) Here's Cormag! He takes up the spot of Franz or Gilliam, and arrives with Zombie Hayden. (this illness really got him) He took off his wyvern and now fights like a true lord. His base skill stats shows his efficiency on the battlefield, and his offense + defense aren't that bad for the early game. 0 luck is a bummer, but hopefully there's no devil lances. Let's get into his growths now : 5% HP 40% Str 0% Skl 45% Spd 30% Lck 100% Def 15% Res Okay, it's a pray-or-nothing kind of character. I'm pretty lucky his Skill and HP base are that high to be honest. The defense growth is great and will give us a defense tank for the later stages of the game. Right now, it's pretty annoying though because he comes in axe-land lancelocked, but I think I'll have to do with this until chapter 4. Not a bad unit, but if I get screwed it's pretty much over for me. He comes in with the Iron Lance, a 1-2 weapon with okay Mt, Wt and Hit. And apparently the Steel Lance also has Devil Reversal. This game doesn't want me. Right now 2 weapons out of 4 usable have devil reversal, and one of the usable is an eclipse weapon. Second reset because Iron Lance hits resistance. Oh damn. This makes it a pretty good weapon to be honest, but it's still a pain due to Cormag being more defense oriented. Damn. We managed to get back to stability. Right now we're in a pretty good situation, being able to handle even the reinforcements. Forde gets a classic Forde level while Innes snipes the soldiers so I can exp Cormag. Cormag gets his first level, which is not that disappointing. Luck is nice for him to use Steel Lances, Strength is always welcomed, and Def is obvious considering his growths. The only other thing he could have actually reliably proc'd is speed. Here is Breguet. He's annoying. Let's say why : - Him being on a throne makes it impossible to aim with the Iron Lance for Cormag. - Two out of my four usable weapons have devil reversal and I don't wanna get back to another savestate. So what is the solution? Chipping him off. With the steel sword. Till he dies. BTW Forde got hit at 28%. I think that just announces the future of the game. Typical Forde level + Strength/10. Time to end this! IT HIT BTW, here is Ewan. As he is a Pupil (1), I'll have to code in a Master Seal so I can promote him at lv10 or something like that because I don't want to wait till chapter 15 to make him usable. His stats are pure garbage. His growths? 65% HP 0% Mag 65% Skill 70% Spd 35% Luck 20% Def 5% Res To be fair with you, his growths could have been 0s everywhere I wouldn't even have cared a damn. Why? Because I can make of him a summoner. And summoner is the most damn broken class if enemies are actually cheating to get your butt. I'll explain it once I promote Ewan into summoner, but he's definitely my first promotion, no matter how good anima magic is. Reset count : 2 (Forde, Cormag)

I'm bored and want to start. Anyone can give me the last pick now.

If the chapter's too hard, you can literally skip it with Camilla carrying MU anyways.

but who cares about Delmud

Pair Lachesis with... ermm... The Dew! Let's have him become a man, shall we? EDIT : Just kidding. I'll make the true pairing in a minute. To be honest, I think it'd be refreshing to have Lachesis paired with Claude. Nanna gets to use A staves, and Delmud can use Magic Swords I guess while being somewhat of a charisma bot. And Magic Swords are awesome. LachesisxClaude. EDIT 2 : Yes, Manfroy is awful as a character and a boss. His stats are awful and his plan at the last chapter literally cost the Loptyr cult the victory. (well, there are ways to win without that person though ; just sleep him and Brave him off)

One last and I'm off! (Characters remaining : Hayden, Fado, Dozla, Eirika, Colm, Myrrh, Rennac, Knoll, Ismaire and Syrene)
