Big Smoke

Alright. Today, I'm going to spend some time trying to figure out Lucina's timeline, her reality, and try to make sense of it. Let me just tell you right now, it doesn't make any sense. So supposedly the first event that sets the world in the path of destruction is the assassination of Emmeryn and Chrom in Chapter 6. (I'll be using Chapters as time marks) Alright, sounds beliveable enough. Lucina saves Chrom from the assassins after all, then Chrom saves Emmeryn. But, this is where it gets kinda confusing. Let me pose a question. If Chrom is killed the night of Chapter 6, then how is Lucina born? At this point Chrom probably doesn't have a wife. I don't know if it's possible to get him to S support with someone by then, but even if he somehow does have a wife, Lucina isn't born until two years later, after the war with Plegia. That also accounts for any other children Chrom may have, (one other depending on his wife) but there's no canon wife for Chrom, so that isn't set in stone. But it is definitely true that Lucina can't be born, therefore being non-existent in her own timeline. [By extension, Lissa is probably dead as well. She is saved at the last second by future Lucina in Chapter 1. Without her there, Lissa would probably be dead, and that means Owain doesn't exist either] Moving off of that mind-fuck, I believe the next major event different from Lucina's world is Emmeryn's suicide in Chapter 9 (I think?). This causes most of Plegia's army to lay down their weapons and surrender en masse. That should have an effect on how the future turns out, right? Sure Emmeryn is dead, but Ylisse defeats Plegia. We can assume that when Chrom and Em are killed (Ch 6) Plegia would take over Ylisse and the Grimleal would do their Grima-ish shit. Speaking of Plegia... Who the hell is the king? Supposedly Validar must be king in Lucina's world, as he revives Grima, takes control of Robin, yada yada yada. But, if Ylisse loses the war, wouldn't Gangrel still be alive? So wouldn't he be king? Okay, maybe Validar killed him. That one seems insignificant. Hold on, King of Plegia? Didn't Valm.... Ohhhhhh boy. So without Chrom and the others to stop them, Valm probably came in, took over everything, (read: Conquered) and bailed. So yeah, no Ferox, Ylisse, or Plegia. Everything is Valm. And that bdings is back to Plegia (Valm). Supposedly, in Lucina's reality, Robin kills Chrom after they kill Validar, then Robin revives Grima, is brought under his control, and all that stuff. But Chrom is already dead! Would Robin have been killed in Chapter 6 as well? Validar didn't know he was there... this is all very confusing and I'm losing my place... Overall this whole thing doesn't make sense. How is Chrom killed in Chapter 6 but has Lucina? How is he then killed by Robin? How do the children exist? Especially Owain and possible Chrom child number 2? How many years in the future is Lucina's reality? Who's the king of Plegia? Does it matter with Valm having conquered everything? Why is this so confusing? Does Nintendo really think they can do timelines? Does this rash look serious to you? So many questions that can't be answered... I wish I could, but I'm no MatPat, I don't theorize things. Maybe I could if I put some more thought into it, but I'm busy. What do you guys think of this?

I'm playing casual because I'm just getting back into it now, I'm looking for characters that go well together, I'm not too concerned about children's stats but having good abilities and such is nice. Funny that it may sound that way, but this is actually very far from my first playthrough. That was years ago when the game first came out. I think I've done somewhere near.... 15? 20? I don't keep track but I've done a lot, so at this point I want to see convos that I haven't seen before, but it doesn't really matter. Virion is not currently in my army, I had to drop him when he fell behind and there weren't enough spaces. I am doing Gregor and Cherche though, they make a good pair so far. Lissa isn't in the army either, but I'm grinding her together with Libra just to get Owain, he's one of my favorite characters. I think Libra and Lisa are fitting, yknow? Cleric and Priest. Gaius and Tharja were just married, so no changing that one. I love their support convos, they're cute.

In process :p already at B Man, you should've said something earlier. Both already married :/

Didn't even realize that Say'ri can't S support anyone but MU, my bad. Never tried to pair her.

Hello everyone! I want some help deciding who to marry to who. I'll tell you who I'm currently planning: •Chrom and Olivia •Donnel and Nowi •Lon'qu and Say'ri (But for now he has C support with Cordelia) •Ricken and Maribelle •Stahl and Sully (Already Married) •MaMU and Lucina (Can Flavia and Basilio reach S?) I hope I can get some recommendations for the other characters, in my army I have Gaius, Cordelia, Vaike, Gregor, and Libra. Once Maribelle and Ricken reach S (currently at A) I'll swap them out, right now for Henry and Lucina, then once MaMU and Lucina get married I'll swap Henry for Morgan. Any suggestions are appreciated! Also, feel free to change my pairings up there! (Except for MaMU and Lucina that's definitely happening) :)

Good, you're marrying Donnel and Nowi. You're correct :p If you use Stahl and Sully, marry them. Make Sully a Paladin and Stahl a Great Knight I say don't use Lucina as a staffbot, use Maribelle and pair her with Ricken. Have Chrom marry Olivia, then get Lucina and Inigo to A support and have then fight together. That's just my opinion, since you already have that stuff feel free not to change it :)

Hehe thanks, that would be my mistake

Dammit did the pictures not upload? I spent like seven minutes doing that. Oh well. this makes me sad beyond belief

So I was playing through Awakening for the first time in a while, skipping the paralouges to get to the story. When suddenly while I was checking the shops I noticed Paralouge 1. I think there's something special about this paralouge, but I can't remember. I did know that I needed to level up Gaius a bit, so I said fuck it and went in. I was greeted with this: and all the knowledge came flooding back to me I must have this thing that I desire, this machine of destruction. Trying to think of a strategy to level him up... i decide that I'd go with the flow. luckily Robin's Thunder wouldn't kill the bandit that Donny could reach, so I thundered him and Donny BRUTALLY STABBED HIM IN THE HEART. But that was just the beginning. I moved my troops to surround Donny to prevent him being hit. Immediately an Archer comes up. I see he targets Donny Immediately kills him So my question ion go all of you that survived that old meme hell is: is is there a surefire strategy to level up Donnel without him dying? I'm playing Casual but still, I don't remember if he can die or not regardless. If there are guides or something that explain in more detail, refer me to them. Thanks!

It just so happens I have a Felicia, so... oh wait she's one star. :( Bye Felicia! (/oldmeme)

I just got a four-star Jakob from my most recent pull, and I've always wanted a ninja class. Right now he's filling Draug's slot, as he kept dying easily to I'm wondering if Jakob is worth the time and/or shards training, or if I should just keep Draug in. Thanks for any help.

Hehe I've seen that before, what a wonderful stockpile of memes. Hence the username :P No shame here, but... let's just say that some do not share the appreciation.

Pulled this guy after like three days of playing. 5 stars. Quite happy. Now all I want is a Chrom and maybe someone with a green attribute (Anna is too frail to be of much use past the first few turns if I don't baby her)

What is the difference between 5* and 5* Focus? Do they have better stats or abilities? Best I've drawn is 5* Robin

Right now I have Alfonse and Anna 3*. Sharena hasn't been used a lot, as i have a 5* Robin to cover the blue Weapons. (Whatever you call them) Anna hits hard but is pretty squishy in Defense, so unless they come out with a way to raise base stats in the future I see her staying 3 or at most 4 stars. Alfonse will definitely be 5, he might not have the best speed but gotta have the generic blue-haired Lord, right? If I ever get Marth or Chrom in the near future though he'll most likely be replaced.

Before I begin, yeah, I'm the guy that has only played Awakening. Please don't kill me yet. Still here? Great. Although I've only really played Awakening, I know a lot about the others and have seen some gameplay from videos. I've also played Heroes on mobile, but I'm not sure if y'all count that as a full game. It's a fun distraction but definitely isn't as fleshed out as a true FE game. Back to the point... Not much to know, I'm a gamer and I like Fire Emblem. I'm meme trash so I hope nobody is "triggered" easily. That's pretty much it.
