Chapter 13 (7/101): Took a long time to actually finish, but damn if this wasn’t a satisfying clear to actually get done. Fir went on a solo mission for the Body Ring (with a Merlinus punching bag to distract the Paladin for one turn), while literally everybody else (except undeployed Bors) contributed to the charge towards the castle. Barth was used to Rescue + Drop Roy to get him 1 extra movement space, which mattered for Marcus’ movement range. Saul got a lot of EXP by staying on 7 HP and just dodging + counterkilling a bunch of inaccurate Steel Lances/Javelins. Allen visited the Armory and buys 2 Killing Edges and 2 Killer Lances. Might be overkill but I’d rather be safe in this scenario, I have to go the long way through the next couple chapters anyways and can’t buy more for awhile. SHIN was able to get the bosskill thanks to nobody else being able to actually kill him. Marcus had to Killer Axe a Paladin so he could actually reach though. In conclusion, Barth did something. I’m just as surprised as you are. ignore that Bors could've done it too Chapter 14 (8/109): Took about as long as Chapter 13 to get done, honestly. Fir finally pays off. She starts by promoting to Swordmaster, then Saul picks her up and gets danced, so he can drop her ahead with the Light Brand equipped. Roy uses a Torch on Turn 1, then gets picked up by Allen. Chad takes the Torch from Roy and uses it for super-thief-vision, he essentially acts as the team vision for most of the chapter. Allen with Lalum’s help ferries Roy to Saul on Turn 3, who walks him the rest of the way to the throne, with Fir leading the charge against the two Merc groups. She goes on to eventually kill the boss, needing a crit + hit and having two phases to do it, but she goes all tryhard and gets double crits on EP so hey. Saul has to blow the other two Sleep uses on the Killing Edge Hero; only the first one is technically necessary, but by using both, I can safely get Sophia to the Guiding Ring and even ferry the Silver Card to Saul to buy things half price at the Vendor, which is very nice, so I got a fuckton of Pure Waters and Lightnings. I might miss having that for Douglas, but I can work around him. Shanna goes on a little adventure skirting enemy ranges to get the Warp staff on the last turn since it’s worth a lot to sell, while Miledy gets everything on the left including the Silver Card. Actually got all the treasures except the Silver Blade, at least there’s *some* benefit to how many turns this took. The Sleep Bishop blew his 3 uses on Allen (miss), Allen (hit), and Saul (miss), then got crit by Fir so he wasn’t a big issue. Allen also obtained + used the Boots before he took his nap.

Chapter 8x (8/62): Promoted Allen on Turn 1, he and Marcus just sorta rushed ahead and killed things. Allen KE crit OHKO’d Henning on Turn 8, he doubled so the odds weren’t completely terrible, just mostly terrible. Everyone else focused on that thing you know and love, SELF IMPROVEMENT, namely the Armor Bros forming a small wall in the corner to shield Saul and Dorothy so they could heal/arrow things safely. Saul and Dorothy also got C Support. Barth gained RES. Chapter 9 (7/69): Ran forward. Sue and Noah recruited their people, Allen killed the boss, etc. This chapter frustrated me because the RNG for getting into the center island never wanted to work so I just said fuck it and burned a million RNs trying to make things happen. Seriously, I was missing back-to-back 88% hits, it was fucking stupid. Roy got C support with Marcus and Allen at least, would've liked this for the 8x bosskill but at least it's a thing now. Chapter 10 (6/75): No way in hell would I be able to 5-turn, and even this was pretty tight. Allen ran Roy down to the throne, and I had to clear a path for Marcus to even be able to follow so he could kill a Shaman in the way too. Otherwise just sorta focused on improving dudes. Chapter 11: (8/83): Decided to slow down a touch because I probably want that Hero Crest for Fir, and this chapter was being real butts to the northern group’s survival. At least I got more money out of it. Shin, Allen, and Roy went up north and broke down the wall to fight the boss, while everybody else went and got villages and self-improved. Notably, Saul hit Lv 10 and promoted. Shanna was deployed to buy some stuff, like Lightning tomes for Saul. Somehow fed Shin the bosskill because Allen didn’t crit on either of his attacks. Chapter 12 (6/89): Fir, Merlinus, Barth, Chad on the right worked together to distract the Sleep guy and get the treasure. Barth actually dodged it all 3 times, so good. Everybody else went to the left, with Saul pulling a couple axe dudes through the wall. I tried getting a 5-turn a few times, but I think I just don’t have enough movement (read; horse) to get Roy in range to seize. I was able to get him 5 tiles from the throne, but the damn movement cost meant it wasn’t doable. Since I had the time, I also had Lalum eat both Angelic Robes so she isn’t perpetually OHKO’d by everything. Chapter 12x (5/94): Took an extra turn to get the White and Red Gems. Roy, Shin, Allen, and Marcus all ran through the center, taking Lalum and Roy along for the ride. Lalum had to dodge at least one of a Brigand and an Archer, and Roy had to dodge the Nos!Druid cause he gets OHKO’d. Allen KE crit the boss, Shin got the White Gem, and Marcus the Red Gem. Everybody else self-improved, Chad stole an Elixir and a Lockpick.

Chapter 1 (4/4): Marcus picked up Roy on Turn 2 and charged forward. Allen cleared his path to drop Roy 3D of the throne. Allen got a ton of kills here thanks to Marcus weakening everything. Bors got THE BIG MONEY Chapter 2 (6/10): Ran forward and killed things. Roy got a couple levels here which was pretty cool, thanks to dropping him on the easternmost fort Turn 3. Bors helped out by chipping a couple things. Allen mostly killed a couple enemies blocking Marcus’ way and got some more levels too. Standard Merlinus -> Armorslayer -> Shanna. Chapter 3 (6/16): Marcus fullmoved every turn, equipping an Iron Axe on Turn 3 and a Javelin on Turn 4 to kill specific enemies. Somehow barely had the ability to pull this off thanks to Allen, he picked up Roy Turn 3, killed a Soldier in Marcus’ way on Turn 4, and Gave Roy to Marcus on Turn 5, while killing a Cavalier in the way. Marcus had exactly enough movement to park in front of the boss and fight him on EP+PP. Marcus also got SPEED on Turn 3, so that's pretty convenient. Bors, Chad, and Merlinus helped a bit with the opening then lured and killed Soldiers to not attack undrafted dudes. Merlinus also died, but not before he got the Mend. Chapter 4 (5/21): Marcus ran forward and killed most things. Allen followed shortly behind to ferry Roy, after being given him by BORS, what a god. Chad went and got the Angelic Robe village and Shanna did some shopping, I needed more Hand Axes for Marcus. Marcus gets SPEED again and also DEFENSE. Chapter 5 (3/24): Pretty simple, Bors opens the gate on Turn 2, then Marcus rushes in to attack the boss with the Iron Blade, he has 13 Speed so he doubles easily. He gets left on like 6 HP, so Allen is able to take the bosskill. Chad self-improved up north. Chapter 6 (6/30): Need Sue for Shin later, so a detour must be taken. Allen and Marcus carry Roy up the left, using the Door Key from Ch 4 to open Sue’s room, and then to the throne room, where Marcus Silver Lances Wagner on EP, and Allen finishes with Iron Sword on Turn 6. The bosskill was surprisingly cooperative, all told, only took one attempt. Chad gets the 8000g in the left treasure room, and Saul, Dorothy, and Bors, all try to improve in the bottom. It kinda works? Merlinus died, but it be like that sometimes. Chapter 7 (8/38): Man this sucked. I definitely lost some turns just due to lacking manpower, but it is what it is. Treck and Jerrot definitely helped a ton here as NPCs, and Dorothy was super clutch with her Steel Bow finishing off Wyverns. I missed out on the Elixir, Longbow, and Hero Crest villages, which is unfortunate, but I did get Chad to steal the Red Gem off the Wyvern. Bosskill was x2 Armorslayer from Marcus, followed by a hit from Allen to finish the job. Also managed to recruit Noah who went key shopping, so Fir will exist I guess. Chapter 8 (16/54): The long walk, as usual. Marcus ran far ahead with Chad to get the promotion items in the western treasure room. Barth took a Chest Key and got the stuff in the middle. Saul, Dorothy, and Merlinus hung back at the start and got pelted by an archer across the wall the entire time, Saul got a lot of EXP out of it. Drafting Barth was actually super helpful because he could loot the middle treasure room and break the wall to get the fresh Armorslayer to the team, the old one had like 3 uses by the time I got to the boss room. Oh, and Barth killed Cath, rip.

Chapter 17 (8/46): I could almost pull off a 7 turn, but Lowen is a few HP short of ORKOing the boss with the Heavy Spear, wouldn’t even matter if he leveled Strength. Rip. That said, I don’t think I could get the Knight Crest in 7 turns with this team anyways, so it’s probably fine. Matthew gets ferried by Marcus to obtain said Knight Crest, the AI never attacks him thanks to being either dead before he’s in range or Bartre being a juicier target. So, Lowen ferries Hector to the throne, and Bartre kills some enemies near the start and then goes and gets his own Hero Crest and the Unlock staff. Also brought Priscilla, ferried by Kent, along so she could recruit Raven, to keep him from causing problems with Marcus escorting Matthew untouched. At first, I thought I wouldn’t be able to bait Raven into attacking Hector over Marcus, but then I had the galaxy brain strat of having Hector throw away the only axe in his inventory at the time (a 20something use Iron Axe) so he’d be weaponless and Raven would attack him instead. It worked and thus Marcus+Matthew get through the chapter untouched. Chapter 17x (3/49): Promoted Lowen at Lv 18 or 19, I forget exactly. Think it was 18. Lowen aggroed everything on Turn 1 with a Steel Sword. Bartre recruited Canas, who waited directly behind Lowen. He killed a few enemies and the boss after Hector weakened him. Lowen talked to Fargus Turn 3. Chapter 18 (3/52): Canas killed a couple dudes and Lowen went to kill the boss. Chapter 19 (4/56): Promoted Bartre here at Lv 11, because he had survival issues in testing and he's starting to become less and less relevant with Lowen mowing down everything and Canas training up. He broke down the snags so Lowen could rush to Uhai, killing him between Turn 4 PP and EP with the Horseslayer. No Torch staff here unfortunately, will probably try to visit the Secret Shop in Kinship’s Bond for that. Chapter 19x (4/60): Gold Knight Lowen has no issues taking on the Knight and Mage swarm on Turn 2 EP. Lowen first picks up Hector, then moves to position so Bartre can fullmove and Take Hector from him, this lets Lowen be at full power for dealing with the enemies Turn 2 (forts could cause issues). Turn 3 Bartre gives Hector to Lowen and kills the Knight in his way, and Lowen moves to drop Hector in seize range. Canas just kills what he can, and Lowen ORKOs the boss with an Iron Axe. Chapter 20 (6/66): Hector walks to the throne with Lowen clearing the path. Bartre goes and gets the Brave Bow, then I tradechain the Chest Key to Canas to get the Luna tome. Lyn got pulled along to recruit Legault on the last turn, who then steals the Member’s Card. Chapter 21 (1/67): Promoted Canas at Lv 17. Went shopping for a bunch of Fluxes. Lowen rescuedropped Canas in range of Oleg and he critblicked him with Luna. It should be fine not getting the Elysian Whip, Heath probably wouldn’t be promotion ready until after Crazed Beast anyways. Chapter 22 (3/70): Team suddenly got a lot bigger, with Rath and Heath joining the crew. After Heath was recruited, Legault traded him a Chest Key and killed the Thief that just opened the treasure room door, and Heath got the Brave Axe. Guess we’ll see if this thing ends up useful. Also went shopping at the Secret Shop to grab a couple Torch staves. Canas only got one Heal in here, but he’ll get there. Chapter 23 (4/74): Canas stormed his way across the desert, killing both the Berserker bosses. Heath picked up a handful of kills, and Rath killed most of the enemies on the right with help from Lowen, Bartre, and Legault. Got the Eclipse and Filia’s Might, as well as enough EXP to go to Genesis. Chapter 23x (Genesis/74): Yep. Heath and Rath took the majority of the kills here. Canas hit D-and-change staff rank. Gave the Angelic Robe to Heath, I doubt anyone else has much use for it besides *maybe* Canas. Chapter 24 (1/75): Afa’s Drops on Heath. Gave both Secret Books to Rath. Heath used the Arena. Rath got Filia’s Might’d and Brave Bow’d Lloyd. Canas Torch staff’d. Shame I couldn't go shopping. Promoted Rath for next chapter. Hector: 14.21, 30 HP, 11 Str, 7 Skl, 10 Spd, 7 Luk, 18 Def, 5 Res, A Axe Lowen: 18/10.13, 46 HP, 18 Str, 12 Skl, 20 Spd, 16 Luk, 22 Def, 8 Res, C Swd | A Lnc | C Axe Bartre: 11/2.43, 42 HP, 16 Str, 10 Skl, 10 Spd, 5 Luk, 9 Def, 8 Res, B Axe | E Bow Canas: 17/6.51, 36 HP, 18 Mag, 15 Skl, 18 Spd, 10 Luk, 11 Def, 17 Res, S Dark | D Stf Legault: 14.17, 27 HP, 9 Str, 12 Skl, 17 Spd, 12 Luk, 9 Def, 4 Res, C Swd Heath: 13.32, 41 HP, 15 Str, 12 Skl, 9 Spd, 8 Luk, 11 Def, 2 Res, B Lnc Rath: 19/1.00, 38 HP, 15 Str, 20 Skl, 17 Spd, 9 Luk, 11 Def, 8 Res, A Bow | E Swd Ninian: yeah Hector is weirdly Str screwed, it's hilarious. He's taken Def lessons from Lowen at least. Chapter 25 (4/79): Rath took the pirate fort, Heath the monk fort, and Lowen+Hector the horse fort. Everyone else stuck to the center and helped Canas grind staff rank. Heath actually had it kinda rough since I didn't get the Pure Water back on the boat map, but he's a champ. Chapter 26 (11/90): Sleepy time. Canas ground out a ton of staff rank and Heath got swole and promoted. Chapter 27 (6/96): Canas took the top archer room, Rath the eastern Hero room, Legault the starting Brigand/Warrior room, Heath the General room, and Lowen Jerme’s room. Actually went way better than expected, I'd rather play this than Kenneth's version any day.

Vaida. EDIT: Started. Chapter 11 (6/6): Yep. Did a trick I learned from watching Sturm and had Matthew attack the wall on the last turn after Hector attacked the boss. Chapter 12 (4/10): Hector soloed the top, he crit the boss on Turn 3 EP with the Wolf Beil thus avoiding horribly unreliable Hand Axe strats and/or needing Marcus’ help. We take those. Marcus picked up Dorcas to weigh himself down so that, using an Iron Sword, he’d leave a Merc and Peg on low HP for Lowen to finish, who got a sick level here. Bartre helped! Chapter 13 (5/15): Ran left. In retrospect, I have no idea why I didn't just go down, but OH WELL i was already at Ch 16 by the time i realized the error of my ways Bartre killed a Peg on Turn 2 that Hector was 1 Str short of OHKOing, and got Merlinus’ village. Otherwise horses just did horse things. Chapter 13x (7/22): yeah. Chapter 14 (4/26): Didn’t deploy Merlinus, the Soldiers go after him otherwise. Marcus obliterated Erik with a crit, we take those, though I’m pretty sure I could’ve finished him off with Hector next turn (he just attacks a Mercenary instead). He took on most of the left side enemies with a Hand Axe afterwards. Lowen killed a few enemies at the start then dealt with the pirates and cav near the village, he couldn’t double the second one so he had to make sure to be in range of them on Turn 3. Bartre sort of followed behind slowly to bait the Soldiers, he did what he needed to admirably. Chapter 15 (7/33): D e f e n s e. Bartre killed some enemies near the throne room and Lowen killed almost everything else including the boss. He's a beefy boy. Chapter 16 (5/38): Bought stuff on Turn 1 with Lyns squad and sent a Steel Lance to the convoy so Lowen could OHKO a Myrmidon that gets in his way. Marcus carried Hector over the mountains and Lowen helped him make the trip to the castle more reliable. Bartre just picked up scraps, but they were good scraps. Farewell Marcus, it was good to have you. Hector: 8.99, 25 HP, 10 Str, 5 Skl, 7 Spd, 6 Luk, 13 Def, 3 Res, B Axe Lowen: 14.31, 34 HP, 12 Str, 11 Skl, 13 Spd, 10 Luk, 16 Def, 3 Res, D Swd | B Lnc Bartre: 8.63, 35 HP, 13 Str, 8 Skl, 8 Spd, 4 Luk, 5 Def, 3 Res, C Axe Lowen's like +5 on his Defense average, what the hell. The similarity to Tangela is more than just in appearance I suppose.

Legault

Bartre+Karla. Yes, Dorcas would be a smarter pick, why do you ask?

Fear the wrath of Rath.

Heath.

My boy, Canas.

Lowen

Eh, count me in. I haven't done a (full) playthrough of FE7 in awhile.

Have a lot of videos backlogged at this point, so I put some more in the playlist tonight. For some reason they uploaded in the wrong order but whatever, I guess. Chapter 6x: 2/38 Chapter 7: 5/43 Chapter 8: 3/46 Chapter 9: 5/51 (1 Rescue) Chapter 10: 2/53

A new computer means I can actually render these pretty quickly now. It's kind of incredible. So have two more! Chapter 5 (5/30): Not a ton to say here, most of the work was done by Iris and Rody with the rest picking up scraps/getting the Physic. Chapter 6 (6/36): 1 Rescue Promoted Doga to go kill the Bishops. Not much to say about this clear, Warren slowly, ever slowly, improves.

Katarina. Prologue: Noble’s Child, Diverse, Enlightened Cav!MU. Gave her long green hair and named her Palla 2. After the Prologue, Michalis has 17 Defense as a Cavalier. Yeah. He’s kind of insane. Got Lena to C staves. Chapter 1 (5/5): Mage!Elice. Ran forward, had Michalis kill + tank most of the Brigands on Turn 1 PP+EP, while Elice and Palla 2 ganged up on another and Elice got healed so the Hunter wouldn’t kill her. Got SUPER lucky and had Lena dodge a Brigand (she would've lived, but I would’ve needed someone to kill said Brigand) which meant I could kill Lorenz a turn early with a tag-team of Midia EP, Michalis, Elice, and Midia PP. Fed Lorenz to Midia for a level. Merc!Ymir got the Bullion. Bought stuff. Chapter 2 (7/12): Recruited Roshea so I can get Athena in Ch 5. And Vyland because uh, I drafted him. Midia did a ton of work this chapter, getting the Lady Sword, killing like 2 cavs and a Hunter, and baiting the left DK + boss while on a fort, she’s so fucking good. She baited them back around towards the middle so Elice could kill the boss the turn before seizing. Vyland also got a Draco kill and level-up set up for him by Michalis, so that was cool. Chapter 3 (6/18): Myrm!Elice, she saw no combat this map besides a Ballista shooting her. Turn 1, I Barrier’d Midia and sent her up to the castle area, where she attacked the Ballista with a Javelin at 1 range. EP she killed Katarina and convoy’d the Javelin to get Axe rank and ORKO Cavaliers/3HKO Dracoknights. Using the Physic from Frost and Vulneraries, she’s able to stay plenty healthy enough to take on all the enemies up there, finish the Ballista, and bait the Master Seal Dracoknight. Samson unequipped and used a save point, then ran onto a fort to distract dudes for awhile. He died eventually. Everyone else ate Dracos in the bottom right, with Michalis running up after the first wave to help kill the boss… except Midia got a Steel Axe crit and ORKO’d him at 5% crit. Uh, sure. Alright. Did the visit-cancel trick with the Armory to draw the stationary Draco so Michalis could kill him, he got crit for 3 damage and then killed him on PP and capped Defense as a Cav. He’s uh, REALLY fucking dumb right now. Chapter 3x (6/24): Promoted Michalis. Went right. Made Lena a mage so she could feed a Knight to Vyland.

Julian and Rickard

Samto and Bantu.

Gonna take MERRIC and also Cain I guess.

Yubello and Norne? Man i dunno at this point.
