[Klokinator]

I wanna change it but at the same time I fucking don't XD

This lp is so good I await every chapter with bated breath.

Edit: If you really must use Bartre, use th Stimulant on him. It'll just make him max everything.

...Wow, Bartre IS better than Canas. I need to nerf this fucker XD

Edit:

Raven for MVP

Speaking of MVP, how do I promote Serra/Lucius/Rath? Are Heaven seals still a thing?

Yes, and Earth Seals too.

1. Why would you bench the best Assassin in the game?

Because unless bartre doesn't need to be level 5 promoted, i need fucking bartre.

[Klokinator]

Bartre no longer has a level requirement. You can recruit Karla with Bartre no matter what level or class he is.

Thank camtech for ASM.

Thank camtech for ASM.

but will he survive the wrath of Karla without his levels?

[Klokinator]

I tested a near-base Bartre equipped with the lightest non-1 range sword, an iron rune, and the emblem seal, and managed to achieve a 40% hitrate. RNG abuse will allow him to survive, and if not, there ARE stat boosters on that level.

[spoiler=Hair of the Mad Dog (Part 1)]

Unfortunately, quite a few of the pictures I took in the beginning got overwritten (I'm not sure how). The most amusing one was a conversation between Eliwood and Ninian, which went something like this.

Scenario: Lyn teases Hector and runs off. Hector runs after her.

Eliwood grumbles.

Ninian laughs and chides him for grumbling, blah blah.

Eliwood: I like the sound of your laughter.

Ninian: The fuck you say? (This is where I nearly spit out my drink)

Eliwood: Oh nothing. Let's go!

Will screencap on my next run.

The goods. There's another goddess icon and a Mani Katti (both drops) that I somehow didn't get a pic of.

The FUCKING BASTARD . Has goodies so I can't just take it out. Originally was level 15 with 30 magic, which was slightly unfair, but Klok's second patch nerfed it down to level 5 with 22 magic.

Canas is officially benched.

I can finally promote these guys. Lyn will follow soon.

Mine, of course. COME TO PAPA

Nice way to start things off. Initial plan: Send Lowen north to loot the villages while the rest head east, recruiting Geitz and taking out some annoying pirates and wyverns. Lowen starts chipping the silver sword hero.

This was supposed to be a chip for Sain, but whatever. I love Fimbulvetr.

Axereaver crits. My god. So OP.

End of turn 1. I don't have a picture of the crew for some reason. Lowen, Lyn, Sain, Serra, Wil, Hector, Ninian, Dorcas, Dart, Eliwood and Marcus. A solid team. Or so I hope.

Geitz lazily ambles over and starts trying to hit Dart. Thankfully, I parked him on a forest for this very reason and he misses both shots.

That was kind of done on purpose; Eliwood's in range of wyverns and I wanted to minimize the number of things he has to dodge.

He dodges the first wyvern and gets a decent level.

Chip? What chip?

Eliwood/Lucius clone tries and fails.

Oh hi, Nino! I'll be recruiting you later.

JUKEBOX HERO is no longer among us.

Wil avenges Marcus and gets a shoddy level.

Defense is always nice, especially since you can't seem to dodge jack shit. She played for Dart so that...

...He can recruit Geitz.

Eliwood :(

End of turn 2. Lowen's winging his way north and Geitz is going east to loot the Earth Seal. I realized I can just let the pirates come to me, rather than go to them and then wander 'round the map to Linus.

You didn't dodge that? You suck.

Forget Blazing Sword; Blazing Arrow is where it's at.

1/2

Aha! Probably going to Serra.

Eliwood chips and Sain finishes. Speed is good. Speed is great.

You're going to poison someone, so I shall take you out.

Looool, brave axe does 4 hits of 1s.

The luna shaman's day of reckoning is coming...

Character deaths: Serra (4), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (2), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1), Legault (1)

Wil gets a nicer level, Eliwood gets the same. Lyn gets an energy ring I forgot to give her earlier.

Slightly different setup. End of T2.

Hooray she dodged!

Lowen is not fooled by your Blur Fu.

I assume royal got changed to retard.

Zephiel: What a bro.

That's what I really came for, not your scintillating conversation, old man.

Not as nice as the previous one, but still speed.

Oh that's better. Bartre steals the robe again.

Yeah you need HP bad.

Wil confirmed Grim Reaper.

Now who will die?

No one, apparently. I decided to have Lowen loot the top village first. 1/2 down.

You can't see it, but Lyn's blowing a raspberry here.

Good...good. I think Lowen capped speed last level-up, by the way.

On EP, the brave lance misses both shots. Lowen doesn't.

Ditto. It's nice to have them, but I won't use either of the extras on this run.

2/2. Time to GTFO.

Marcus to the rescue. I also notice that Eliwood got S anima at some point. Excalibur, here I come.

End of turn 4 (I think).

I had wield an axe to destroy wyverns...forgot about that knight.

But it turns out not to matter. Serra tied for lead once again!

Character deaths: Serra (5), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (2), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1), Legault (1)

A slightly different setup. Marcus gets the same level as before. Dart is there to lure the axereaver knight.

Axereaver knight not lured. No matter. I have Ninian.

Perfectly executed. I love this rescue staff.

Looking good, buddy. Maybe I can promote you this run (all these level 20 enemies are giving mad xp)

Gotta get that axe rank up.

With that defense, brave swords mean nothing to Sain.

Hmm...I savestate here.

Our ballistician snipes a wyvern.

Stimulant is paying off, I see.

Maybe you need one too.

I never get tired of seeing Wil crit. It's so cool. And he's so speedy!

Right, let's see how this works out. I'm out of Luna range, I hope.

But not out of silver sword range, apparently. Serra takes the lead!

Character deaths: Serra (6), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (2), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (1), Isadora (1), Legault (1)

Ok let's take out the biggest menace first. Hector gets the same level from sniping.

YOU DOUCHENOZZLE

Character deaths: Serra (6), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (2), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (2), Isadora (1), Legault (1)

Since I see no good way out of this situation, I revert to an earlier save.

Still nice. Even if it's not speed.

Ok let's see how this goes...

Good!

Not good!

Better than last time!

Er...well, I'll take it.

Don't you love how I put the best items on luna faggots so you can't kill them before getting the item or you kick yourself? Teehee.

It's things like that which make my games... unique.

Psst you didn't show Geitz's stats :(

Wil confirmed Grim Reaper.

This image is so good that I'm gonna add it to the official topic's screenshots.

[spoiler=Hair of the Mad Dog (Part 2)]

COME TO ME

Yep, that's Lowen getting critted. Sound and fury, signifying nothing.

A little close for comfort...

Fuck you, mate.

You too.

SPEED!

I always find it amusing when Wo Dao-wielding myrmidons get critted.

71 crit...Jesus, imagine what he could do with full supports (I don't actually know if it would do anything, but it'd be cool nonetheless)

I should mention that I'm not doing supports this run just to see if it's possible without them. Lowen-Marcus, Eliwood-Hector, and Dorcas-Bartre would be ready to go otherwise.

You're doing me proud, man.

WHAT THE FUCK LINUS MOVES WHAT IS THIS SHIT

*reset*

Still speed <3

Mage tank

You need resistance too, so good for ya.

Dragon axe best axe. Wielding it gives good levels.

HERESY

Sain's in luna range, so Merlinus rescues him

Oops. So was she. But the sorceress missed.

Isn't it kind of sad that despite getting a speedwing, his resistance is still higher than his speed?

DEFENSE OH GOD YES

I was gonna be so mad if she got hit there. I think that's the first time she's dodged since I got her.

Having learned that Linus moves, I have to lure the heroes away from him...

..and then rescue whoever kills them. The other hero has something I want, so he's going to be a little more annoying.

Can you get some strength please?

Lucky Bartre.

Defense is nice.

You really want me to use you, don't you.

Jesus, Dart almost got 1 hit.

He was supposed to chip for Sain (or somebody), but, like Eliwood, he doesn't understand chipping. Oh well.

Eh.

Oh come on, really?

Time for you to evolve.

Speed Bartre is good Bartre

And strength Lyn is good Lyn.

The new and improved Sex panzer. I've always loved the druid/sorcerer's flowing sleeves.

Gonna cap HP soon!

It's speed, which you do need, although I wish you'd get some defense too.

Sain starts off his career with a crit.

Ok.

Probably will cap resistance. Ultimate mage tank.

I didn't realize I left him in luna range, with a steel sword equipped. Oops.

RESET

Burned some RNs. Better.

No speed :(

Speed!

1 point from capping speed!

God you never were this tanky before. Then again, that might be because I never got to promote you early.

No don't do this to me

This is all that's left: Linus, hero with energy ring, druid with speedwing, peg with blue gem, and peg with nothing.

YOINK

Geitz lures Linus away from the other hero so that I can lure it over.

Whatever, you still can't dodge.

Lowen kills the hero, Dorcas kills the sage and gets a Bolting, and Marcus rescues the latter back from luna range.

First strength proc, I think, since you promoted. Good job.

You have no idea how satisfying that is.

SHOPPING TIME. I forgot to make room in Merlinus, so there's alot of item juggling and whatnot. Sell some promotion items I'm not going to use. Marcus eats a dracoshield and a goddess icon, Dorcas eats an icon, Hector gets a speedwing, and Lowen gets an icon. Still have like 7 left (someone I'm not using has an inventory full, and I'm not sure whether to use or sell).

Lyn kills Linus.

I have no words.

BITE THE PILLOW, HE'S GOIN' IN DRY!

@Klok you're right, that's one of the pics that got overwritten. I'll screeny for next time.

[spoiler='I think, therefore I stab - Pascal']

Damn that's some speedy and well-done plastic surgery.

What could possibly go wrong?

And presumably half of his army dies of malaria.

NO NOT THE HORSES

...Ew.

Forgot to show him off last time.

PROMOTION TIME

The goods. Kind of scanty.

The crew: Raven, Lucius, Lowen, Hector, Serra, Marcus, Bartre, Sain, Wil, Ninian, and Lyn.

End of turn 1 Lucius is baiting some pirates across the river, while Hector and Lowen have taken out a pegasus knight and a pirate, respectively. Lyn's headed east to deal with monks and pirate reinforcements. Serra's going southwest to capture the fortress.

The enemy hitrates are kind of pathetic. Also Raven gets a great level and S light.

Pirate: "What happened, mate? You look as white as a sheet!"

Yay free halberd (I bought 2 last map).

Could have been nasty.

Suck it, pirates.

-looks around-

Oh, there's none left.

C'mere lovely.

That resistance...they'd make a great pair, but I'm not using her this run.

He capped magic and skill; wonder if he'll cap resistance or speed. The former, maybe.

No speed :(. I hope there's no 30 speed enemies I need to steal from later, cause I'm gonna be SOL.

Ballistas are mildly annoying, so I shall remove their users.

i was half-tempted to not get her, but then I felt compelled to. I mean, I'm not using her, and she doesn't have amazing gear...so...oh well

YES

YES

Jesus, look at those monks. And the best part is, once Lyn goes on a peak, they have 0 hit. All I have to worry about is running out of axes.

*blinks*

DAYUUUUUUUUU-

It's strength. Strength is good.

I noticed that Blade Lord has 7 movement instead of 6. I approve.

EDIT: Wow also S rank in both bows and swords!

Meh.

Lowen lures Pascal to the south.

Glad to see you shook off your earlier leveling lethargy.

Thank you, Blaise.

I cannot get over how tanky this Raven is. I just can't. It probably won't matter much later, but for now he's getting tinked like there's no tomorrow.

Defense would be nice, but the best defense is a good offense, so that works.

I was kind of speeding through this part and then I suddenly noticed that Lyn got triangle attacked. I didn't know enemy pegasi could do that.

That last speed level is tantalizing me, lol.

I suddenly noticed he has both S lances and swords. Duradel, Regal Blade, AND Rex Hasta? Yes please.

Nice.

Equine slaughter, indeed. I feel this chapter was kind of a pushover. I'm sure the next ones will more than make up for it, thought.

Not sure what to make of this.

REALLY KLOK

Oh, baby. I'd take you to the castle on yonder mountain and...

HURRAH MERLINUS PROMOTES

Spoiler: I don't kill her, despite the fact that I have no intention of using her.

Luna shaman, your days are numbered.

Gonna sell this; Lyn and Eliwood are already promoted.

Not bad. You've seen Pent's stats already.

The crew: Hector, Lyn, Eliwood, Raven, Marcus, Dorcas, Bartre, Wil, Serra, Lucius, Lowen, Ninian, and Sain.

Of course, I don't like you much either.

Ninian dances Wil, and the luna shaman is no more.

It should be noted that most of these pictures are either crits or levels. Except the luna shamans, almost every enemy here is promoted, and I'm getting a fuckton of exp.

SPEED

Lame.

DEFENSE

You still have another 26 levels to max out everything.

As do you, provided I can find another ultimate seal.

STRENGTH

Oops.

Character deaths: Serra (6), Matthew (4), Marcus (3), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (3), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (4), Wil (1). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (2), Ninian (2), Isadora (1), Legault (1)

Same levels I think.

I had placed Dorcas there previously to lure the berserker, but didn't realize Sain was in range too. This time, he's not, so Dorcas schools the berserker in the noble art of critting.

To use on those legendaries when they show up, I suppose.

More equine slaughter.

My useless Lyn is useless no more!

Well, you do need resistance. Incidentally, he capped defense.

Gasp.

Damn you're getting the right stats up (some resistance would be nice, but you can't have it all)

More gasp.

Ya know, I never realized that was the Uberspear. Bernard in Ch. 17 had one. Good thing I never stayed in his range :O

Not bad.

Jesus I wish you had these stats in vanilla.

Good man

Capped HP and defense! Also, more speed.

Such thwomp.

That's right, reinforcement druid. Lyn's arm leaves contrails.

Dude, did everyone get a stimulant, or just Bartre?

You can imagine what happened right after.

I knew he was gonna steal something, so I had to take him out.

You're doing fine.

You're offense is pretty great, but that def and especially res could use some work.

No speed :( Now you won't max speed anymore :( (Not that I was expecting it, but it'd have been nice.) That's S swords, incidentally.

Yep, everyone took the stimulant.

FUCK YOUR BRAVE LANCE

*whistles approvingly*

Capped strength.

Speed is always nice.

Caps speed and he capped strength earlier.

Speed!

No speed! In fact, nothing!

Ok that's better. He caps speed again.

Well, you can use Hp, so I won't complain.

Snipers with crit bonus are the best thing ever.

No speed...but got luck. I'm ok with this.

Defense! :D

Damn you're soon level 20.

More tank.

More mage tank...you're awesome.

Gonna cap strength soon probably

Caps strength again.

Holy shit, resistance.

Not terribly exciting, but you're an awesome mage tank as well.

[Tequila]

[spoiler=Things get nasty]

Ok, so alot of my early screenshots got overwritten again. I still have no idea why. So I can't show off the enemies with items and stuff, although they show up later and you can consult the google doc for a full list.

The only thing I remember doing is giving Bartre a speedwing because with that and proccing speed on every levelup he can reach level 30 and I heard there's goodies held by enemies with 30 speed next chapter. So...yeah. I think I used some goddess icons too.

Also, I took this chapter REALLY slowly because I knew there'd be unpleasant surprises, so quite a few turns were just me ferrying around 1 person. The snow doesn't help. Next run I'll be better prepared.

The earliest screeny I can find. Dorcas is off-screen; he's headed northwest to deal with some berserkers. The rest are Ninian, Marcus, Lyn, Raven, Eliwood, Hector, Wil, Lowen, Bartre, Sain, and Serra.

My first test playthrough, I kept this one alive because she has a barrier staff. Then I got Bartre over there and realized you can't steal staffs. So I restarted and took her out right away. Wil is confirmed albino Grim Reaper.

Don't think I rigged this one.

Those berserkers are on peaks. 40 avoid. And Dorcas still has 95% hit chance. I love this guy.

Sain having the mother of all bad hair days.

This guy had a steel sword so he had to go. Got a killer bow out of it.

The first door is opened. Druid has Nosferatu, Sage has Fimbulvetr, Heretic has Fenrir, Bishop and monk have Aura.

Didn't rig this either.

Looks like you might still need that last energy ring.

And that's the last one.

Capped resistance. I dunno if this is a blessed Marcus, but I like him. Still never use him in vanilla, though.

Capped HP, str, and skill so far.

Capped strength (GO SERRA YOU DA MAN GIRL)

The current situation. That paladin has an axereaver and Lyn has axes. This will not go down well.

Pegasi make a tasty snack for Lynzerker.

The next enemy phase, with slightly less enemies.

Defense and HP are great for you.

Str would be nice...but...whatever.

Capped speed. Archsage promotion imminent.

The new and improved recruitment scheme. Karel appears in the SW, where your units start. Harken appears at his usual spot. You can pick one. WHO WILL IT BE?

Heh. Dorcas wants to be a mage tank.

I thought you were supposed to cap things.

:(

And now to prevent you from doing something stupid, Merlinus will hold on to you for the rest of the chapter.

Ultimate level, and it ain't a bad one.

That's what I'm talking about. I think Serra caps resistance, or will soon.

Well then.

Not bad.

Bartre is tanking two Luna druids, both with 25 magic, behind that building. While highly inefficient, I decide to just let them waste use up their books and then go and steal in peace (both, of course, have goodies).

Had to rig that one.

Oh hello. And in the hero's case, good-bye.

Remember when you got 1-hit with embarassing regularity?

Holding a horse and rider makes Merlinus unable to dodge; he gets doubled by an axereaver cavalier.

Which Lyn takes care of.

You still have 10 levels, I suppose...but you're only expected to proc str 4 times. I think I'll wait to use the energy ring.

You're still not going to cap anything.

Just a few monks and some promoted magic units, one of which has goddess icon (I think it's a monk).

That's the last Luna use. Those druids are ripe for the plucking now.

Took me like 15 minutes to rig this. CAPPED SPEED BARTRE IS A GO. (Spoiler: This turns out to be very useful later.)

Offensive Raven is offensive.

Speed AND resistance in the same level? WHAT IS THIS SORCERY

HA! This is also the point where I realize there's 1 item left to steal, but neither Lowen nor Bartre has space. So Lowen drops a 2 use iron sword.

NOTE TO SELF: On next run, buy less shit.

More yoink.

So here's me, casually opening another door, expecting a bunch of mage units, and then this. The assassin has a 5 use chest key I want, a silver sword I should try to not get hit by, and LOLWUT 5 STRENGTH!?

Dorcas takes out the Nosferatu Druid at the other door. Sain, between his godly 21 def and the assassin's pathetic 5 strength, gets tinked.

OR NOT. Fucking silencer.

Dorcas gets the same level, Eliwood uses Bolting to chip the assassin, and Sain finishes it off. Lowen crits the dragoon for a OHKO.

After that unpleasantness, Bartre goes around opening chests, since he was busy tanking Luna earlier. Probably gonna need those legendaries for the next chapter. Now, only Jerme's building remains untouched. The counter says 6 enemies reside within. How bad can it be?

Maybe you'll get the angelic robe. In fact, you almost certainly will.

[Tequila]

Well, I added the chapter to my original post. I had a bunch of free time over the weekend, followed by a bunch of homework on Monday. So...yeah.

Dunno when I'll get around to 28. I hear bad things about it. Very bad things.

[Klokinator]

The new and improved recruitment scheme. Karel appears in the SW, where your units start. Harken appears at his usual spot. You can pick one. WHO WILL IT BE?

Yeah, I despise that stupid goddamn door opening scheme. It makes no sense and there's no precedent for it in dialogue or anything. Without a wiki most people have no idea how it works, so I changed it to this. At least Kenneth's chapter sorta makes sense what with killing the leaders and etc.

[littlebunny]

What is this chapter? i dont remember doing it.

[Tequila]

Jerme's version of Pale Flower of Darkness. The sum of Dorcas, Bartre, Raven and Guy's levels needs to be higher than the sum of Priscilla, Serra, Lucius and Erk's levels. Because Serra and Lucius get used so much and everyone on Team Melee (except Dorcas) usually doesn't, most people get Kenneth's version. I, being a good Samaritan (also a contrary bastard, but we don't get into that), went for the chapters Klok hadn't done yet in the original release so he'd have a save file. Then I proceeded to psychically nag him until he finished it.

Pale Flower of Darkness, the only chapter in the game with Snow.

You might've had the alternative version in your various runthroughs though. Access to this chapter depends on the levels of Lucius+Erk+Priscilla+Serra vs Raven+Guy+Bartre+Dorcas or something. Higher Guiding Ring units compared to Hero Crest units (well, the named units I mean) results in access to one of the Chapter 27 maps. The alternative results in the other.

Too bad you didn't use Leila. There's a big update coming for Jaffar's chapper that makes her pretty useful.

Oh well. I'll use her next playthrough. Unless she's not thwompy. Whatever. She'll get her spot in the limelight, don't worry.

For now...

[spoiler=Fumbling and Fuckery, Take 1]

The map's called Death Dealt in Darkness. No picture for some reason.

The usual gang of misfits.

New peeps.

Well...he can do some minor damage I guess.

Let's see what we're dealing with.

Excellent.

I know Maxime's somewhere in that corridor, and I don't want him going after Jaffar, so hopefully Lyn will lure him.

Kinda useless, unless I use Harken.

Defense is OK.

Selling that.

Nino and Jaffar come under fire. Nothing too worrying, yet.

Well...the lure worked. Lyn has WTA, but he has a decent crit chance. Hopefully he can't double.

Well.

Guess we won't find out.

YOU FUCKIN' IDJIT

Fortunately, Marcus can still rescue him. Barely.

He gets an Aureola.

Not your best one-stat levelup.

Even with Duradel equipped, he can't cope.

Character deaths: Serra (6), Matthew (4), Marcus (4), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (4), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (5), Wil (3). Eliwood (3), Bartre (1), Lucius (3), Ninian (2), Isadora (1), Legault (1)

Still not great.

i notice that that female sorcerer has eclipse, which has 1 range, an angelic robe, which I want, and is going to suicide on Jaffar next EP. I want that robe. So I go back to my savestate at the start of the turn.

That's more like it!

I move Sain to the north of Marcus' projected point so that when he rescues Wil, he'll drop him to the west rather than the north, putting him barely in range.

I love it when a good plan comes together.

YOU GOT HIT BY THAT? YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.

Good girl.

Not so good guy.

Eliwood still doesn't understand how to chip.

It's strength. Strength is good.

Eh.

OH SHIT

WHERE THE HELL DID YOU LOT COME FROM

Character deaths: Serra (6), Matthew (4), Marcus (4), Rebecca (1), Lowen (3), Oswin (2), Lyn (2), Canas (5), Sain (4), Hector (4), Guy (2), Dorcas (5), Wil (3). Eliwood (4), Bartre (1), Lucius (3), Ninian (2), Isadora (1), Legault (1)

New plan: Warp Jaffar away and deal with the rest as they come.

And here's where I give up. The right team was in shenanigans because Bartre went left and Sain (who also went left) had the only door key. So they were kind of hanging around, being useless. Gonna restart this and try again.
