I finally got Ashnard... It took forever, though. I think you can just play through Endgame again and again. I really don't remember how I did it. Using him was fun. ^^ playing the Lonely Isle with just him was fun. He murdered everyone. Brutally.

Without question: Ravens. Seriously, if you actually use Naesala, he owns the board and will kill anyone and anything in his way. When he's supported by Leanne, it gets much, much better.... ^^ After ravens, I have to say wolves. My Volug and Nailah teamed up on Maniac mode and were two of my strongest units.

I've managed to save all of the rebels but one, who felt the pressing need to attack my group every other turn then flee and heal himself, only to repeat his actions. It took me a couple of tries to not have certian characters die, but it is possible. Very difficult, but possible.

...Why was I just able to follow that? Anyway, yes, they are the exact same person. I seriously think he hit his head or something while being an idiot in a flower garden and suddenly he just started spelling his name differently, making it Danved. That's just the way he is. ...He was too slow for me to use in Radiant Dawn AND Path of Radiance anyway.

The enemies in my Maniac were much, much harder to deal with... My rules about never letting a character die were nearly broken. Elincia doesn't have Mercy in Part 2. Like Redfoxoffire said, she gets it in Part 4. I have a question, though. Is Maniac mode what you enter when you upload the Path of Radiance data and start a new game? I found that that game and the one I started on my own in Maniac were shockingly similar...

I think we all agree on that one. It seems like whoever they're fighting should be able to easily dodge, seeing as they are SO SLOW, but still... It makes me mad. I sympathize.
