Final Chapter: 4/137 turns This chapter was Critblicked: The Map. I can't count how many of my units got OHKOed because haha fuck you, FE1's crit system is stupid as all fuck get out. Caesar, Draug, and Rickard holed up in the middle room and survived. Jagen choked the point of the top left room and got healed by Linde every turn, protecting suckers like Lena and Darros in the process. Caeda, Palla, Navarre, and Wendell were all in the right room and quickly moved down in order to assist the main team. Speaking of, Marth, Hardin, Minerva, Gotoh, and Wolf all marched towards the left. Minerva gave Hardin the Gradivus on Turn 1. Gotoh, Minerva, and Wolf retreated on Turn 3 to help the right group while Marth and Jagen pressed on ahead. Darros got another kill! Hardin ORKOed the Manakete in front of Medeus with a hit and a crit. Because my Marth was so Strength screwed (he should have 17-18Str with a Power Ring at Level 20), he needed a crit in order to kill Medeus in two rounds of combat (guess who crit first? Hint: It wasn't Marth, he was too busy getting crit THREE TIMES).

I'm a sucker for the NES aesthetic, and all of the weird quirks of this game did grow on me despite the salt inducing parts (shoutouts to the ONE map theme until the final map). I'm not sure if I'll play this again anytime soon but it was worth the $6. Also I did enjoy the Turn Rewind and the Savestates immensely. I also appreciated the Classic Characters™ for this draft, because they hard carried me; for future FE1 drafts (fat chance), I wouldn't make all of the classic characters free but I would definitely make Minerva free. She just makes the game so much less painful than it can be and is really only useable if she is free. Anyways, time to end this on some unit reviews! Marth: He started out good but then steadily started falling off until around when I gave him the Power Ring. He then started spiraling out of control and became ridiculous despite being pretty screwed in several key stats. Jagen: Good throughout the game! He definitely fell off around midgame but he still contributed pretty frequently despite that. Caeda: She got 3 Strength/Defense levels early on and then never procced either stat for most of the rest of the game. Turns out, it didn't matter because she could augment her offense with powerful weapons thanks to her high Weapon Level Stat and still double with them thanks to her ridiculous Speed; an invaluable unit, for sure. Draug: He was huge for the first four chapters before he started doing next to nothing for the rest of the game. Still worth drafting. Darros: Somehow, he contributed frequently (up until the Final Chapter even) despite being an axe unit with not the best stats. Surprisingly useful. Lena: Being able to Warp for the units who costed turns and just being a Mend/Physic bot the rest of the time made her a pretty useful unit despite not gaining any levels. Navarre: He was critical in some clears and helped with some important bosskills but otherwise was just decent all around; never as bad as a unit like Darros but never one of my best units. Wendell: Actually not as good as I expected, but he still carried through the early midgame before becoming a staffbot later on (with some notable exceptions). Hardin: This guy was nuts, he was actually my only blessed unit and it showed with how much he helped in every single chapter after he joined (...except for the ones that needed fliers). If Minerva didn't exist, he would definitely be the MVP of this run. Wolf: Another unit who was surprisingly useful. He was critical to some of my clears (thanks, daddy Parthia), and he was at least able to do something in most maps after he joined. I thought he'd be awful but here we are. Rickard: Once he chipped an enemy that Caeda barely couldn't ORKO and that is what makes him better than if he was undrafted. Caesar: Just as there is a best, there is also a worst. I don't think Caesar contributed to anything in this run that noone else could do. I would have rather had like...*checks who was available to draft at the time*...Julian probably, just for another early game unit. Maybe he would have been more useful if Navarre wasn't free but I'm unconvinced on that TBH. Minerva: The MVP of the game. I knew she'd be good because Dracoknights have insane bases and she immediately ate a Speed Ring right after joining but damn. She carried so many chapters despite being kind of stat screwed and it would have been impossible to clear some maps as fast as I did without her. Linde: Surprisingly clutch. She wasn't essential to too many clears, but the ones she was, she did real good in. Just being able to hit hard with Aura in a game where Strength doesn't affect Magic damage was surprisingly huge. Palla: Pretty good despite never gaining Strength or Luck until the Final Chapter (never gained Defense once either). Just having another flier with good bases was more than enough, and kind of essential on a few maps. She definitely cost me a turn, but I think she made it up in the end. Gotoh: The original. He made the final chapter a lot less painful than it could have been.

Chapter 18: 5/103 turns Fairly easy chapter. Due to how large it is, all of my unmounted non healers basically did nothing the whole map. Hell, undrafted Catria was more useful because she bought Silver and Levin Swords. Palla, Caeda, and Minerva went south to kill the brigade in the middle, and then Minerva went further south to do the boss kill. Marth went on a rampage this map, and got two whole defense levels to show for it; I know that doesn't seem like much, but that's two more defense levels than he's gotten for the rest of the game combined. Jagen, Hardin, and Wolf also contributed to an extent.

I knew I couldn't do the 4 turn because there was no way anyone could reach the top chest and seize in that amount of time, so I went for this instead. Marth used the Speed Ring on Turn 1 and made a detour to get the Dragon Whip on Turn 2 (Hardin opened the door beforehand) while still having enough time to give it to Caeda on Turn 3 and seize by Turn 5. Rickard made a beeline for the top chest and got it by Turn 5 (with Palla opening the door on Turn 4). The Sniper around there was a problem, so Linde baited him on one turn and killed him the next (and promoted the turn after that!). Julian was deployed to get the Bishop Ring and through a trade chain of him -> Lena -> Navarre -> Linde, I was able to get it to her on a timely fashion; he even got the Pure Water on the last turn! Wolf was super clutch here because he killed the Hero cockblocking the Star Sphere Room in two turns (and didn't do enough damage for the healers to heal him). For the boss kill, I was planning on using the Wyrmslayer but then Caeda crit Tiki with the Levin Sword...nice? And Minerva got the Light Sphere on the last turn as well (she was busy protecting Wolf before then). Caeda promoted at 14.13 and got +3Str +4Def on promotion. Linde promoted at 10.26 with 26 HP 1Str 10Skl 14Wlv 15Spd 12Lck 5Def 6Mov and gained +2Str +3Def on promotion. Fun Fact: Did you know Bishops are 1Spd off of being able to double Gharnef with Starlight at base? Thinking about it, I didn't need to actually use Linde this much but eh it didn't cost any turns.

The Paladin brigade on the left was annoying enough because Hardin's starting position blowed, so I had to have Caeda "wall" for a turn before Hardin could deal help deal with them in combination with the rest of my foot units. The top part was actually pretty easy, with Marth destroying enemies and never really being at risk of death TMK. The hard part...was Camus. I could have beaten him without a crit if Minerva had just one more point of Speed...but she didn't, so crit it is! What a bullshit boss honestly. I don't think Ridersbane even did effective damage on him. Also my units refused to proc Strength this map which was tilting. Also Darros killed a Paladin!

My Marth barely survived Turn 2 Enemy Phase after dodging like 2 Silver Lances and 2 Javelins but at the same time he also did it first try babyyyyy. Otherwise it was just my units mopping up the enemies and uh me praying that Lena dodged a Javelin on a tree because she is OP her starting position fucking sucked. Also Darros got more kills and even a level! If he could promote, I would totally promote him right now. We all know that Caeda, Hardin, Minerva, and Linde are nuts but Jagen and Wolf really pulled their weight this map too. Also it feels good to deploy all of my units, even the deadweights who didn't do anything. They already put in their time.

Marth just went to the village, handed off Starlight to Caeda (who handed it off to Linde, who was lagging behind real hard), and went to the throne. The enemies on this map felt significantly less threatening than the enemies on the last map, so my mounts all took care of them no sweat. Unfortunately all Minerva did was bait Michalis, who was killed by a combination of Hardin and Palla. Oh yeah, Palla gets to promote soon! That's hype. Undrafted Catria did some shopping (and minor meatshielding) as always.

The beginning was simple, with everyone marching onwards to the boss area (except Julian, who I deployed instead of Rickard for positional reasons). I had to have a specific combination of Palla (newly promoted), Jagen (hasn't fallen off yet babyyyyy), Caeda (ORKOes Snipers with the Devil Sword, B-R-O-K-E-N), and Minerva take care of the chokepoint of enemies which definitely was the cause of a few resets. Then afterwards, I baited Gharnef with Marth and then with Caeda after Marth moved out of his range (if you hang to the left of the boss, Gharnef will not be in range to attack Marth). Gharnef's AI was kind of a pain too, because he always goes for the nearest enemy. Anyways, Linde had to crit to match SRC's turncount even with the best positioning so either he rigged too or he played this way better than me. Hardin had the shittiest positioning ever, so he took care of the enemies in the back.

Combined with how you ignore most of the map (to be fair, this is not the only occurence of that), you also have to contend with not deploying half of your best units because the final map is a huge pain in the ass and you need to rig spots for it; this meant Caeda and Palla were not deployed for this map despite the fact that they would have been really helpful. That is frustrating, to say the least. Anyways, the actual strategy is simple. Marth goes down the mountains (while getting traded the Falchion and chugging down a Dracoshield and a Talisman), Minerva secures a spot for him to pass through to the boss, Minerva kills said boss with Gradivus while Hardin Javelins a Fire Dragon that got in Marth's way, and cue the seizing.

Chapter 15: 4/93 turns Not too hard, honestly. Marth had to uh...not get crit? Which did happen...which was rough. Draug also got crit by a Thunder mage, but at least he SURVIVED. Otherwise, he had a fairly time surviving thanks to Minerva, Caeda, and Palla mopping up the mages on the left side.

Marth needs to dodge one of the three Dracoknights...or I could have just had someone blocking him off...Whoopsie! I am not a good Fire Emblem player. On the second turn, Marth and Navarre in particular head to the top corner next to the river (with Navarre handing Marth his Silver Sword, as it'll be easier to just hand Navarre those in the future), and tank a few more hits. On the third turn, Palla needs to crit the Horseman blocking Navarre (two hits with a Killing Edge at shockingly good hit rates for FE1, so not too bad), and Minerva needs to hit the boss twice with a Silver Lance (absolutely miserable, although if I was less stupid I could have given her Caeda's Silver Sword on Turn 2 for better hitrates), and then Caeda and Navarre use their Levin Swords to score the kill (not too shabby!). This will give me the much needed Dracoshield because uh...my Marth hasn't procced Defense yet! Not even once!

Linde dealt with the Sniper over the course of two turns. On the next turn, I had Hardin and Wolf combine to kill the boss (Hardin being slightly below average on Strength and Wolf being slightly Strength blessed). I originally thought I'd need to rig a Strength level on Minerva so I could kill the boss but uh...I didn't? So I rigged for nothing, scuffed run SMH.

Chapter 8: 5/42 turns Marth drawing all of the aggro helped as he bumrushed this chapter just as long as he didn't draw too much aggro. His inability to ORKO things with effective weaponry is starting to get annoying. Everyone else helped clear the way (especially Jagen), and the Hardin/Navarre duo got the bosskill (at shitty hitrates, as always); good thing Navarre procced Strength midmap!

The easy part was Hardin, Wolf, Draug, Rickard, Darros, and Lena going south and handily clearing the enemies at record pace before Wolf went shopping. The hard part was making sure Minerva didn't cockblock Marth on the top route. I'm pretty sure if my Caeda wasn't so rigged it would have been impossible, but she could take quite a few hits and Marth could uh...deal 4 damage twice. With a Silver Sword. Maybe it would have been possible if my Marth didn't fucking suck actually. Opening the door to Maria with Marth allowed her to recruit herself and then Minerva to recruit herself on the same turn. Pretty huge stuff! Oh, and I gave Hardin the Goddess Icon.

This chapter was an interesting one to play out, to say the least. Rickard made a beeline for the main chest, which left Marth on treasure chest duty (I ended up missing the Silver Sword and Master Key chests because Marth needed to burn a turn dropping items, thanks Parthia; that cost me one of my runs). Hardin went ahead to chip the Sniper with a Javelin (on enemy phase, mind, because he barely survived) before I finished him off with Navarre on the following turn (moving Hardin out of the way so that Marth could open the door). I had Jeigan kill the Curate with a Javelin while Caeda and Minerva teamed up on the boss. BTW, did I mention hit rates frequently suck in this game? They're like 70% and up usually which still frequently miss! If I rigged anywhere, it's definitely in actually hitting people. The boss kill didn't need that though, thanks to Levin Sword being treated as magic. Caeda, Minerva, and Hardin all accompanied Rickard to get the boots which was pretty easy. On the last turn, Caeda bought 2 Silver Swords which I hope is enough until the next Silver Sword chapter. Linde and Wolf took care of the mages and the guys assaulting the prisoners, and Wendell took care of the thieves at the start (with a SMALL bit of help from Wolf). EDIT Forgot to insert stats but honestly they're not much different from those of the next chapters. Chapter 13: 3/83 turns Marth used the Boots turn 1 and I rushed towards the boss. Nothing much special happened other than needing to dodge 1 or 2 Stoneheists? Not in the same turn. Minerva, Jeigan, AND Hardin all teamed up on the boss (only two were necessary). Also Hardin only got 1 Move on promotion.

It'll be totally worth it, though. I had to undeploy Draug (also Caesar, but that's significantly less sad) just so undrafted Cain could trade around some items and buy some stuff.

Chapter 4: 6/21 turns This chapter was simpler than the last one. Most of my units went left, save for Draug who drew the attention of all of the right enemies (and the middle Hunter as well). Marth drew in most of the aggro (including Matthis), while Jagen went ahead and took ahead of the archers. Luckily Lena existed to heal both Marth and Jagen as needed. The bosskill was kinda unreliable, since I only got 1 Javelin hit and 2 Killing Edge hits from Jagen as well as 2 Silver Lance "hits" from Caeda (the so called hit rates being real bad).

Chapter 1: 5/5 turns Marth beelined to the castle, Jagen went way ahead of everyone else and ultimately ended up killing the boss, and uh...Caeda and Draug helped! By killing enemies who obstructed Marth's pathway. Draug was actually real clutch for this NGL.

Jagen and Caeda made a beeline for the castle while Draug stayed behind and CHOKED SOME POINTS. Classic Character Darros killed some enemies in the way and also didn't get doubled which was real nice.

Jagen traded his Silver Lance to Ogma Turn 1 so that Caeda can make use of it in the next map. Jagen had to hit the two Fighters coming from the left with two Javelin hits, with not the best hitrates. There was more leeway with the Hunters and he could have probably afforded to miss both. Then because Jagn decided to be a crit god and crit the Steel Axe Fighter, said Fighter dropped his Vulnerary and Jagen didn't have enough inventory to hold the Killing Edge (my previous boss killing strat). Despite reaching the boss area a full turn earlier than he usually does, Jagen missed so much that I needed him to dodge a hit (because the boss never missed before up until that point even though he had worse hit rates than Jagen!), hit twice in retaliation (with an Iron Sword, so shouldn't have been THAT bad), and then uh...Darros needed to finish the boss off. Oof. Also I got some super rigged levels this chapter despite my best efforts. Draug didn't get to do anything. 😞 Name Class Level HP ST SK WL SP LK DF MV RS Marth Lord 02.94 19 05 03 06 07 07 07 07 00 Jagen Paladin 05.97 21 07 11 10 08 01 09 10 00 Caeda Pegasus Kn. 02.26 16 04 06 08 13 10 08 08 00 Draug Knight 02.53 18 07 03 04 03 01 11 05 00 Darros Pirate 04.54 21 07 02 06 07 03 06 06 00 Lena Curate 03.00 16 01 07 07 08 08 03 05 00 Navarre Mercenary 04.06 20 06 09 09 11 04 07 07 00

I'm going to postulate that Rickard is actually the most Ash Ketchum like unit in FE1. How so, you ask? Well, for starters, there is a superior counterpart that joins earlier in the form of Gary Oak I mean Julian. Secondly, he's probably going to die on like Chapter 23 and never make it to the finals. Finally, he's so incompetent that the only way he'd kill units is if they had Devil Axes which is pretty how much Ash won all of his battles in the Indigo League. I'm still taking him though because us main characters have got to stick together.

Man, kids these days. They think drafting is a competition to have the most viable characters. One is enough. Find someone exactly like Wolf, but better. Sedgar's been taken though, so I'll just go with the next best option and pick Sniper Wolf instead.

My fellow drafters! As a young boy, I dreamed of being a lance...but tonight, I say, we must be moving forwards, not backwards. Upwards, not fowards! And always Palla, Palla, Palla towards Low Turn Counts.

The only thing that can beat Cain and Abel...is a unit that surpasses even God...THE POPE IS MINE!

Marcus, he's broken.
