MartyTheDemonSlayer Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Fury x Claude (so that I can use the rescue staff in chapter 9) and Azel x Aideen (for the rescue staff in chapters 4 & 5.) Other pairings either take too long or aren't worth it because the children are pitifully weak on 0% growths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Wouldn't Claude x Aideen be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyTheDemonSlayer Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Claude x Aideen takes too many turns, and even if it was viable, you wouldn't be able to use the rescue staff during chapters four and five (you'd get it too late in chapter 5 for it to be relevant). Having it longer in the secondary generation would save like, 2-3 turns at most, as you have to wait until Leif promotes (by chapter 9 at the earliest) to make good use of it. In the current setup I have the staff for 5 full chapters and a tiny bit of chapter 8, which saves the most turns overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Why not Levin * Fury? Sety can use Rescue even with Levin as his dad can't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyTheDemonSlayer Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 I tried having Levin x Fury in one of my test play throughs, but Holsety isn't really necessary in the second generation. It makes a few parts a bit easier, but doesn't actually save any turns, and Levin!Sety only has B staffs and as such can't inherit Rescue. On the other hand, Claude!Sety can inherit the rescue staff and this saves about five turns from chapter 9 and might save one from chapter 8 once I refine my strategy a bit.

MartyTheDemonSlayer Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 They don't have the time to pair, they're both too busy doing things. Corple doesn't even get recruited anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Is it me or was the gameplay in this video sped up more than the others? Sometimes it was a little difficult to see anything happen. The only way to tell Deirdre died was by her death quote. Otherwise it seemed like a solid strategy. Wondering why you didn't expose just Cuan instead of him and the swordfighters near the end though, he seemed to be doing wonders with the Hero Lance while Holyn fell just a bit short even with a Luna proc.

MartyTheDemonSlayer Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 I thought YouTube would object to the video length, but I was wrong, so i won't be speeding up like that in the future. I put the sword fighters at risk because even with the shield ring cuan is at risk of death and his evade is practically nonexistent, so I needed others to take some hits.

Ansem Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Sacrifice Noish. You didn't spend all that gold on Beo to kill him. And Alec is busy being RNG bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momogeek2141 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Holy crap, so much ringing? Also, why didn't you make Lachesis heal Alec after Sylvia danced on the last turn? Or did you, I skipped to the end during the rigging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyTheDemonSlayer Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah, Lachesis healed all she could. Most of that rigging at the end was so that Lachesis could clear one last arena fight. The boss kill strategy was actually no worse than earlier ones (about 1.2% chance of success.) I think I could have made it a lot more reliable, but I would have had to replan my moves for all of Agusty castle and I couldn't be bothered. Don't worry, the worst rigging is still ahead (the Arvis fight and Celice's many boss kills come to mind.) It seems most people want Noish to die, so I guess he gets killed, even if all those units are at the end of their usable lives anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) I think it's probably because he's been the mount with the least use, other than Beo. Alec at least was a good RNG abuser, Midir was cool with Charge, and Finn was cool with Prayer and also everyone loves Finn. EDIT: Also does Fury do nothing in the desert? I would think she'd be able to increase reliability in some places, unless she just gets in Levin's way or something, and flying healing could be useful too if you can get her to promotion. And I guess if Fury isn't useful, Physic!Fee won't be in use either? Edited January 21, 2015 by BBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyTheDemonSlayer Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Fury could do things to reduce reliability, but she has to be glued to Claude so that they pair in time, so she doesn't see any use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momogeek2141 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 By the way, is Altenna going to see a lot of use? She has pretty great bases, and gets pursuit upon promo. Plus, you could rig ridiculous Gae Bolg crits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ownagepuffs Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Altenna has shit bases on 0% growths because growths have some part in the calculation of the kids' bases. Paperblade had a picture of her somewhere but I can't find it. Edit: Btw awesome job, man. Edited January 21, 2015 by Ownagepuffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momogeek2141 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I dont think growths do, but their final stats do. I totally forgot. Eh, she still has the Gae Bolg for the crits, plus she has flying utility. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Fliers generally aren't very good in FE4 either since they don't get bonus movement from roads. FE4 is probably the least flier-friendly game in the whole series, and the fliers are all actually pretty amazing statwise.That being said, Marty will probably skip Altenna, she costs a few turns. And growths do factor into their bases, it's all here at the bottom: http://serenesforest.net/genealogy-of-the-holy-war/miscellaneous/calculations/ Edited January 21, 2015 by General Horace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
