Yup, that's why it's 16 units and not 12. +To avoid RNG-screwage. I already checked all the units' growths in nightmare just for fun, and there is one "broken" unit that hasn't been given to me yet. (I mean "broken" simply by the fact he only has growths in HP, Str, Spd and Def, but these growths are all over 60% iirc) I won't spoil anything about any unit I've been given atm though. xD

After having seen all those randomized runs and thinking it was cool I decided to make a FE8 randomized run. The setup is the following : (I minimized the weapons and con stats not to allow cheesing by simply having a boss whose weapons break in one hit) You, yes you! You will have a part in this formidable experience by choosing me 14 units. I'm obviously allowed to abuse of !Seth, !Orson and !Eirika. You won't choose though a !slot, but an unit. That means that I can actually totally get screwed because that unit will be in the tower slot. You can't give me though the boss units (Valter, Lyon, Orson, Caellach, Selena, Riev) because they're not randomized. I have no idea of the outcome of this run. Your units can either totally screw me up or be awesome simply due to the random. (I can have 255 skill growth Myrrh with 10% everywhere for instance) I'm allowed to tower grind and to arena abuse because why the hell not. Units : - !Seth (who is actually Innes) - !Eirika (who is actually Forde) - Cormag - Marisa - Amelia - NATASHA - Lute - Seth - Ewan - Ephraim - L'Arachel - Ross - Joshua - Tana - Vanessa - Ismaire Here you go! EDIT : I feel I'm already gonna regret setting the base movement to 1. What have I done. EDIT 2 : Got back to randomize movement from 7 to 9 because Forde and Innes have 1/2 move and I don't see myself playing hyper slowly.

Okay, I'll change. What about HolynxAira?

Since I just want to see you comment on FE4's possibilities of Incest : - LexAyra. - AideenxAzel (best couple ever fite me).

Hey, I've discovered something interesting enough : If any of your base weapon (Iron weapon or Flux/Fire/Lightning) is an Eclipse weapon, it will 2HKO any enemy in the Arena. This is an hilarious abuse that I can properly do, since somehow in my file, I have Iron Axe/Sword being both Eclipse weapons. If your base weapon is also a brave weapon (my Fire is a brave tome), you can also "cheese" the arena with this. (since enemies are buffed up and all, it's really hard, but let's say that this is a huge boon) Though weapon durability stays. Steel Axe has 1 durability and instantly breaks after an assault. Which can give some incredibly funny rounds when my unit is just trying to hit.

Hmmm... Let me guess why chapter 10 is impossible. I know! The promoted enemies, right? (in RandomHardMode they have a tendancy to spawn with uber stats. I guess you circled around Chapter 9's sniper?) Just a tip, at least if memory serves me right : They only spawn after you recruited "Marisa" -if it's Eirika-. (not sure if they spawn if you open the door) Wait until you're sure you'll survive them/not have to fight them to make them spawn. The pegasus squad needs to be sniped. I don't know if you have a strong archer by the time though. As for the cavalier squad, put Myrrh to slaughter them all.

She's Hinokopter after all. How can you kill that kind of thing?

I will gladly follow this for sure. I think it will be a little bit crazy though once you get to the newer games, especially the Avatar games. I'm not even sure how you will handle the brigade of Poor Character Development from Radiant Dawn or half of The Generic Cast from Thracia 776 though. (mostly due to being no supports nor a lot of conversations in Thracia)

Worst Unit? Then... FE1/11 : Really too many trash tiers to decide. Though Tomas, Matthis or one of the knights/cavaliers. FE3/12 : Easily the late trash. Tomas and Sheema might be workable if you baby them enough thanks to their high bow rank and growths on steroids, but Dolph, Macellan, Vyland and Roshea are all awful garbage. You can also talk about Matthis the generic cavalier if you want to. FE6 : Wendy. Sophia is really easy to grind with patience : Stick her a flux tome, create a bodyblocking wall in 14x, and make her spam it to the mobs so she gains truckloads of xp (while sniping the hand axes pirates). Sophia also brings to the team a Guiding Ring. Wendy? All she can do is throw shaky javelins to level her up, and doesn't bring anything on her own. Wendy is awful. FE7 : Hard because everyone is pretty good. Nino's a little bit annoying to grind when we have Pent, so she takes the spot. FE8 : Marisa. Hard to grind, and not worthy of the exp at all. Marisa it is. FE9 : Another hard one due to everyone being viable, but it'd be Devdan just for coming so late (most of the team is decided by the time) with nothing really interesting. FE10 : Lyre. Meg is decently trainable with 1 Speed BeXP on Hard Mode, and Fiona requires 2 BeXP. Lyre would probably require 5 levels of BeXP for me to even think of using her. Her stats are garbage. She joins next to Ranulf, who's close to Satori Sign, and with better stats than her on every area. Just. Trash. FE13 (No-Duo) : Donnel. In my playthroughs, I'm not reclassing so he takes the palm. Otherwise... Maribelle. Her character is great, but her stats are too iffy for her to be worth. She's usually ending up way too much on the lower end regarding her durability and speed, and that is sadly a killer for her.

Not like Jakob got the best passive out of the three (+dodge rate, -damage), had like Felicia the easiest path to get S Rank MU, and had super high speed gains along the cavalier promotions, who get probably the best skills in the game. (Defender, Luna, Armored Blow, Aegis are all viable skills while he gets in addition Shelter and Elbow Room) If you put it into theorycrafting, Jakob is probably better than Felicia or any other early unit. Though once Ryoma/Xander/Camilla come around, the competition is fierce. Jakob remains the best unit to support MU because of his support bonuses (S-ranked Jakob gives +2 str, +1 spd, +2 skl) that add up well with the fact he gets Great Knight as one of his support classes, giving to a paired up MU at S rank (which is not that hard since he can farm that hyper early on) on base +4 str, +1 spd, +2 skl, +15 avo, +7 (!) defense, +1 move. Jakob's only weakness seems to be his FE6-like growths that can get him screwed pretty easily if you're not lucky, but who cares about that once he gets the best skills ever. Felicia's Mercenary gives way less than Jakob's Cavalier, and imo Jakob's defensive passive is better than Felicia's. Felicia's offense is also meh until she gets reclassed to strategist or gets the Flame Shuriken due to her low strength growths. To be honest, Felicia seems more like a support unit who could pick up Rally Skill/Inspiration/Demoiselle/Rally Resistance and Live to Serve, while Jakob is way more offensive and can go for Luna/Armored Blow/Aegis/Defender and Elbow Room/Inspiration/Gentilhomme. Jakob is probably the best of the two unless you go for a challenge where you either desperately need a healer and therefore are going to pick Felicia, or that you're just simply forced due to your own rules to go female. I could see some argument for Strategist Felicia vs GK Jakob, Felicia being better if you're going for a MU/Team that will heavily be screwed by Mages (I don't know, +Str -Res Knight MU?), while Jakob is really better if your MU is a frontliner. However, Strategist Felicia remains pretty nice due to her seeming to be a great staffbot and a good damage dealer.

Probably due to the Fiona event, I guess.

Second-best character (best being Merchant Orochi) : Omnyoji Kagero.

Wait. Does that mean you can actually one-turn this chapter with an Ilyana crit? Interesting.

Possible changes for Leonardo : - Having Edward shove Ilyana instead of him in 1-4. - Make him face the south reinforcements in 1-5? Rewatching the video right now, you pretty much clustered everyone that's not Micaiah/Sothe/Volug top, so maybe you could do this. - Instead of giving Jill exp in 1-7, deploy Meg to shove Ilyana and make Leonardo/Zihark face the top mobs during the first turns after shoving people. (unless you really really need to open the top Door and free all the soldiers?) Unless you plan on promoting Edward or him reaching a specific benchmark, there's no real reason for him to get xp right now. I think that are sadly all the possible improvements right now. You should give Leonardo wrath in 1-4 so he can kill some laguzes. You could even make the WindEdge Edward thingy (I don't remember who has done that, sorry) and give Leonardo more exp (though giving Micaiah less). Can Leonardo kill some enemies in 1-8, or are all the deployment slots filled?

The best, one and only Berserker Nyx! (S Arthur)

Can you try looking for it in the convoy? In Radiant Dawn, when NPCs killed something, it was automatically sent there. Maybe it is here too, I guess?

That was brillantly executed. I love how you "rewrite" the story to be honest. And that Keaton part was hilarious.

Requiem's pretty great. All I'd ask you is just not to farm supports : If you do so and move according to supports, the game literally becomes the easiest walk in the park ever. To be honest, the first chapters are pretty hard compared to the rest. Especially the prologue.

Something that desperately needs clarification for Alyssa's recruitement : It doesn't work if Alicia visited the Top-Left Village at chapter 11. And I just got wrecked by that because now in my girl-only HM run I can't recruit Alyssa. :(

Do you love the soundtrack? Right now even if I can't play Fates, giving an old fire emblem a Fates soundtrack suddenly makes it 10x cooler.

WAIT I WANNA CHANGE MY PICK Strategist!Beruka time! She can get to it if you A+ Charlotte, am I right? Then just do it! EDIT : kay nothing to see there bai

It's gonna take till Fates gets out for Europeans right? ;_;

Oh well. Replace Effie by Elise. I give you Hero!Elise + Strategist!Arthur. You can thank me later for that. /EDIT : Ninja'd. Then Sorcerer!Arthur (marries Nyx) + Hero!Beruka?

A generic lived to tell the tale. ;_; Sad they don't even get captured. They get mercilessly forgotten. ;_; #genericslivematter If I got this correct every escape map is like this : - Deploy Leaf + Flier - Deploy fillers because you need to fill the quota - Make Leaf + Flier get to the end of the map - ??? - Escape with Leaf + Flier Btw, are you going to rescue these guys in Chapter 21x or will you just enter and leave?

Let Effie's Husband, Arthur, embrace his true tactician of justice-self while he becomes a strategist. Meanwhile, his waifu Effie decides poneys are good, but winged poneys are better because they give her MUSCLES and BRAINS. Dark Falcon!Effie and Strategist!Arthur if it's not clear.
