MCProductions Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Well today, I'm starting to attempt something I've long wondered if it was possible. A lords only playthrough of LHM and HHM of FE7. The rules are simple. The only units allowed for use are Lyn, Eliwood, and Hector. Other units must be benched tho the lords can trade with them for their weapons. Well, just finished chapter 1 of LHM and Lyn is already at level 4. is this playthorugh possible or am I wasteing my time.

Radiant Dragon Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'd say it's definitely possible. The biggest hurdles I can think of are Battle Before Dawn, in which you'll have to just hope Jaffar and Zephiel can hold out long enough for Eliwood to get down there, and Cog of Destiny where you'll probably have to rig/reset so the status staves miss. Final may be difficult without Athos but if you can form a support triangle with the Lords the Dragon shouldn't be too much of a pain.

MCProductions Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well thats good news, the Dragon always killed athos for me anyway just as sort of an update, I'm on Chapter 4, Lyn is level 8, present stats are Str-9, Skill-11, Spd-10, Luck-9, Def-3, and Res-3 with any luck her speed and skill growths will compensate enough for her somewhat sucky Def and Res growing at present and the Support triangle later on will definately help.

MacLovin Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 the dragon shouldn't be too hard with max speed+body ring Eliwood if you're willing to rng abuse a little bit. Desert's gonna suck ass tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This sounds interesting Don't forget to give Lyn her modes's stat boosters, though Also I'd totally reset/rng abuse for good Eliwood level ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCProductions Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I gave Lyn the stat boosters as suggested also, how do you RNG abuse, cause it sounds like I might need too. LHM has been cleared and Lyn is already at level 19 which will basically turn her into a jagen till she premotes. as I've already saved I won't be able to provide stats this time, but I do remember that her defense and resistance only grew about once or twice so... all well her speed and skill were her highest stats anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoruad Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 : ] Well... You can't use staves. You also have to worry about Battle Before Dawn. Sooo... good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Roy Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Well damn... can u use thieves to open things at least? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCProductions Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 Well damn... can u use thieves to open things at least? yeah but only if the chapter is impossible without a thief(ie. Matthews 1st chapter in Lyn mode) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elf_01 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I've done this on LHM/HNM before, it gets painfully difficult in the mid-game, when your lords hit cap but can't promote, especially since you're limited to using vulnenaries/elixirs to heal and have no way of dealing with status staves. You have to plan to minimize damage taken by your lords, and also unfortunately, your most front-line capable lord in Hector is locked in t1 all the way until after Cog. You might have to RNG-abuse/savestate somewhat, since if your lords (especially Eliwood's STR/SPD/DEF for the midgame) are screwed, you're in a really bad spot. Some notably difficult chapters are: C12/13/13x, Four-Fanged Offense, Battle Before Dawn (it's pure RNG...), and Cog of Destiny (Valkyries and staves). When you reach endgame (VoD/Light and your lords hit 20/20 and max stats aren't exceptionally hard with their support triangle). Good luck!

MCProductions Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Good luck! Thanks I'm going to need it. Due to laziness on my part, I'm still on chapter 12 HHM. confession: this is my first playthrough of HHM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartrio Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Who you going to send for the village for the northwest in ch. 13? I assume Eliwood while Hector eithers backs him up or guards the passage to the east on the mountain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotari Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Who are you going to promote first? Lyn will probably be a better combat unit but that horse Eliwood has could be super useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCProductions Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 On normal playthroughs I always promote Lyn first so if I ever get there(High school is killing the majority of my time) I will likely do the same unless I decide I'm really going to need the horse for BBD.

Jotari Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Also, which two will get the A support and which one will be forever alone with two Bs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCProductions Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 I always pair Lyn and Eliwood on normal playthroughs so unless I get a good reason otherwise the distribution will Lyn and Eliwood-A Lyn and Hector-B Eliwood and Hector- B Also the unpaired ending CGI would be highly symbolic so my distribution will ALWAYS be made to show that CGI The one with the three Lords celbrating their victory, is any better pic for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 a promoted Eliwood with good stats would be a huuuuuuuuge help in Battle before dawn, so I'd definitely promote him first if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCProductions Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yeah In starting to come to that conclusion myself. I can't decide if its legal to use allies as meat shields. No weapons equipped obviously. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momogeek2141 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Are you going to skip Gaiden Chapters? You may want to plan your strategy around that. Also, the final chapter isn't that bad, I had each of the lords solo it. The only tough one was Lyn because Sol Katti did 8ish damage on the dragon, so I had to pray she landed crits often.

elf_01 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yeah In starting to come to that conclusion myself. I can't decide if its legal to use allies as meat shields. No weapons equipped obviously. Thoughts? I think in some early chapters (13x especially, maybe 15H), it's going to be insanely difficult without Marcus or Oswin plugging a gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 it doesn't get you very much exp, but i'm pretty sure you can just only deploy Hector and have him sit on the throne for 7 turns and beat the chapter pretty easily.

Jotari Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Maybe it's better not to do 13x. You''ll get Merlinus eventually and if you're only worrying about three units then you won't exactly have much need for the convoy provided you plan accordingly and leave space for dropped weapons. Just use all your other non deployed units to carry supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in some early chapters (13x especially, maybe 15H), it's going to be insanely difficult without Marcus or Oswin plugging a gap good, I may actually be able to pull this off now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
