3. Magic Wyvern (with Orange Hair)
Characters: Annette
This build makes full use of Annette’s Lightning Axe combat art for offense. Lightning Axe hits considerably harder than Soulblade and Frozen Lance, which lets it secure kills more easily. However, its accuracy is lower, so you want all the accuracy you can get.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class: Wyvern Lord
Main Weapon: Silver Axe+
Accessory: Accuracy Ring
Abilities:
1. [Fiendish Blow]
2. [Hit+20]
3. [Axe Prowess Lv5]
4. Death Blow
5. Rally Speed / Alert Stance+
I don´t think LA benefits from both +6STR/MAG skills? You probably want Fiendish Blow and Uncanny Blow.
I disagree with the prerequisite to Bishop being Physic. It should be Warp. No reason to have Darting Blow on a mage, methinks. If it has a reasonable MAG stat, it should be a Warlock or a DF.

Meh, this is just Schrödingers ambush spawn: there will be spawns, they might be anywhere, anytime but you won´t know. I don´t think () is enough of a hint. This does nothing for ambush spawns.
I also played this map and still got caught off guard - but I also skip everything that isn´t the actual game so I got no right to complain.
It leaves the big question "Where and from which point in time?" in my opinion. If you want ambush spawns at all they ougth to be either properly indicated and clearly established that they are possible, paranoia fuelling it may be, or they need to be giant once every few maps oh shit moments with guaranteed enough space between the enemy wave and the player - Minervas chapter with the reinforcements on the upper right would come to mind (though if the player moves north first they might still get ugly surprises, I´d wager) or the prologue chapter where someone gotta die.

Absolutely, especially if they actually lean into Dragonstone variety.
A rock for 1-2 range, one for 1 range, one for tanking, one for doubling or with a brave effect, an effective damage rock, a high range rock, rocks with additional effects such as +X % skill activation or Armored Blow, rocks that give stat boosts and benefits akin to classes - flying + X Str, armoured + X DEF/RES, mounted = mov increase.
And then of course the potential for higher tier rocks of the aforementioned rocks.

In the usual FE setting? Hell nah. The amount of damage you´d enable via ranged attacks alone and when considering we have 2.5 damage types, would be tremendous.
Hexagonal tiles would lend themselves better to games with larger casts and potentially greater deployment slots I´d imagine, since these units would actually get to do something.
I am perplexed by the suggestions of initiative-based gameplay - is speed not yet good enough of a stat? Units with high speed tend to be pretty good, this would just make them even better since they´d act more often, while the slow people would fall even further.
3 Archers in a civ game make for an impenetrable fortress, technological discrepancies not accounted for.

Mhm any of the GBA FEs, but Sacred Stones would need an upward difficulty adjustment.
Having played Vestaria Saga, I assume the Kaga games hold some seriously entertaining ingenuity coupled with about 50% obscure shenanigans. I tried getting into them, but their clunkiness defeats my patience.
Tellius looks entirely unappealing.
-
Staffbot.
All games would dramatically change if they had a Lena. Except the ones who already have one.
-
All looks, no substance.
There´s a whole lot of nothing happening on these maps. Add those glorious sticky swamps, deserts and a whole buncha 1tile chokes.
Enemy units are laughable, unless they target RES in which case you might actually have to be careful... if the AI wasn´t dumber than a box of rocks.
One does not simply hold an Orange AND an Iron Sword.
The greatest entertainment this game has to offer is killing the-not-real-Desaix.

I remember 3 things about FE:A.
The map with all the siege tomes you can´t reach.
Suddenly there´s some chick called Lucina in my army?
The difficulty of FE:A Lunatic early game is hilarious.

the only part that matters. Story is irrelevant.

What use are cool mechanics, when the maps to use them on aren´t as good? Which is to say BR´s map design is firmly uninteresting. And maybe the units a bit too frail for my tastes.

All the skills. All the units. EZ map for grinding. Sandbox achieved.

1 barrel to take a quick dip in. Also works against overheating.

CQ ruined all other FE for me.
BR kinda meh.
Rev is kinda whacky packaged in a neat sandbox.

Lost Gilbert in chapter 13 and thus magic axe Annette was benched. But for story reasons he is still there and that makes me kinda really salty.
I lost Xane once in a run and only noticed in the final chapter when I needed him for a teleport.

Isn´t there a giant table in the monastery being used for tutoring and stuff after the timeskip? That one closed off room to the, hmmm, left? I think you can even clip through the table.
Other than that.
Steel chairs as weapons.
Tables as shields.
Throw in some
alcoholelixirs.It´ll be a riot.

This feels like a significant nerf to defence-based tanks.
Nothing speaks against adding anything to armoured units that differentiates the from regular units beyond -1 Mov.
Such as permanent in-class dmg reduction on top of the DEF stat.

I don´t think the difference between a crit and Lethality needs an explanation.
On 7/8/2022 at 5:21 PM, Shadow Mir said:Also, as someone who has long wanted critical hits to be made weaker, I disagree with this.
I disagree with your disagreement.
Crits are like wasps. Mostly unwelcomed, ultimately negligible.
-
But did you comment in the subforums too?
-
Critical hits should always be lethal, unless Miracle or a Dragonskin like skill proccs but in exchange equipment, consumables, skills and commands should be available to manipulate the chances, both to crit and avoit crits.

Don´t forget to recruit Amundsen.
Any idea what you´re gonna do with Merida?

It actually just requires there not be any enemies left after than player phase (or at least not enough who can reach him to kill him), so he can indeed use lunge on an enemy and live.
Lunge is niche for wall jumps. You won´t be able to hit everything behind a wall.
Not enough to kill Gunther seems like a... tall? small? I-dunno-order, particularly in lategame.
On 6/18/2022 at 1:37 AM, AnonymousSpeed said:I meant Fighter might be better as an innate reclass option than Mercenary, not that he should get it through through Corrin marriage.
I know?
Rally STR for STR/DEF access, Axefaire to mayhaps pass down.

Luck should be X% chance to pick up gold, weapons (used) and items (tonics, vulneraries, etc.)
One unit gets a PS enabling it to pick up stats boosts, silvers, etc. when LCK is maxed.
If a unit has a full inventory, discard that stuff.
Is it abuseable? Absolutely, but make LCK interesting just for once.

On 6/16/2022 at 2:58 PM, AnonymousSpeed said:Xander is the only one who gives you a flying shelterbot.
I rethought the concept of flying shelterbot and it doesn´t sound good for the old lad. Lunge is for getting good units in position, which Gunther isn´t and Shelter is basic utility which Gunther can do, but that is a low bar (Do you have Cav Y/N?).
Lunge-ing (?), in the case of Gunther, requires there be no other enemy since he won´t survive anything. Unless he´s just a sacrifice, in which case: +1 SD point.
Y´know. For the price of one S-support you can get a free "shelterbot" with better stats than Gunther. And if Corrin is a woman...
On 6/16/2022 at 2:58 PM, AnonymousSpeed said:Not so much fighting as surviving, which lets you be a little looser with positioning.
According to conventional FE wisdom, Wyvern is already the bestest class ever, so if he has trouble surviving as one, nothing is going to fix him. Especially with all that legendary MoVeMeNt. Maybe give him boots to increase his options.
I think Merc is better for a more balanced stat spread - SPD/SKL for Merc, Wyvern and Horse is STR/DEF with slight differences.
Would give Rally STR and a quick Axefaire though. Too bad he fucks up Kanna.

Quixotic + Ignis + STR or MAGtaker.

For the casual price of 3 Lvls, and a HS out of... 4 at that point in time? Do I have that right?
On 6/14/2022 at 6:48 AM, AnonymousSpeed said:His dual-strikes are actually okay with an effective weapon
There´s that slight issue where better units than Gunther can 1HKO enemies with effective weapons, thus the support boy won´t have them.

On 6/14/2022 at 6:48 AM, AnonymousSpeed said:Gunter would like Knight more than Mercenary because he doesn't have the durability to make good use of Sol, but he's so slow that Wary Fighter would benefit him.
In order to make this support unit better at fighting, let´s give it another class to spend 3 lvls in, which isn´t the class we want him to be in, where it will struggle to reach enemies, struggle to kill enemies and also won´t do a lot of supporting either.
You are probably right. Adventurer would have been better. That sweet staff utility.
-
Wouldn´t it put Ignatz at risk, if all allied units are surrounded by enemies having attacked for their 1 damage, but there´s still some of them left? Stealth doesn´t disallow attacks on a unit, if only that unit can be attacked, no?

I'd disagree. Backpack is nice, but shelter shenanigans can let you get extra dances each turn. And since Beruka and Camilla are actually functional combat units, you may want them actually attacking instead of using Rally Defense. Even as a backpack, an 8-move flying class is a great way to move Corrin around the map if he's a Master Ninja or Nohr Noble or something. It's all support, but not all backpacking.
Shelter: Silas, reclassed Jacob, reclassed Arthur, Peri, Silas, Gunther, Xander, Sophie, Dwyer, Siegbert & whoever gets mothered by Peri.
Lunge: Elise, Beruka, Camilla, Gunther, Xander, Siegbert, Percy & whoever gets mothered by Beruka/Camilla.
+ Corrin if the appropriate talent is chosen.
Also some convicts if you bother, I guess but that´s kinda out there.
The majority of these units can stand and fend for themselves on top of doing what Gunther can do and some of these child units are not at all difficult to get before Gunther swoops in. They are, as you say, functional combat units, with Gunthers supposed utility but increased survivability. Neither are any of these skills ones you get late into the game - both are lvl 10.
If you Shelter you don´t Lunge. I´m not sure I understand why Lunge is so good, it´s value looking more determind by breaking up an enemy formation and setting up a good AS - which Gunther won´t.
2 hours ago, AnonymousSpeed said:True, but Xander is the only other character with that combination of classes naturally. They're pretty slick positioning skills, especially on a flying unit.
Poor Siegbert.

Hm?
On 6/11/2022 at 5:30 AM, AnonymousSpeed said:Help actually getting to where he can be helpful. 8 move ignoring terrain effects means Gunter has pretty wide coverage with his support skills, and being able to flier skip half of Chapter 23 (among other, sometimes less dramatic fly-skips) is icing on the cake.
I meant as a dedicated Corrin backpack, since that is imo his sole purpose - at "worst" you have a GK or Paladin which still makes for amazing PU bonuses in combination with his PS. Diffcult terrain in the lategame is chapter 22, too cramped for Gunther to be on his way without surpervision and the water areas in chapter 24, where Gunther has no business being considering the map is dark and full of flying horses. And for the Great Wall of Pineapple, as far as I´m aware, enemies aren`t aggressive outside of the initial squad to the right and some reinforcements from the left, not exactly putting much pressure on the player to skip quickly and the terrain seems forgiving.
Flying Rally DEF is certainly great, but his ability to use it seems less relevant when considering we have Beruka and Camilla becomes just that tiny bit more outragously good as a WL, gifting a second Rally Def - both of these ladies making for better units than Gunther. Also Haitaka might be among the squad which is potential Rally DEF Nr. 3 and the RALLYMAN exists.
Lunge and Shelter... you get a lotta horses and wyverns in CQ is all I´m sayin.
