FE4 Mountless run (Complete)

[momogeek2141]

[spoiler=God Status confirmed]

And thus, begins the long treck back.

Levin gets warped so he gets to skip it.

I also bring out Ethlin for reasons. I don't break the rules, I simply have her visit a village.

Yes, Ayra!

I saved you the trouble of my boredom, so we're instantly here.

Everyone gets healed up.

And oh shoot I accidentally put Ardan in range! The battle is on! Pursuit does wonders for Ardan, here he cuts away half the dude's health!

Once again, failed run. I don't think I can go through another castle without one, can I?

Levin shoots him.

Deirdre overkills another. Just a fact, these guys give a lot of exp compared to other enemies because of their comparatively high level.

Dammit Holyn, why you get hit!

I, honest to god, don't know why I didn't heal Holyn instead. Probably didn't want Aideen in fire.

It's...beautiful...Ardan can kill things!

He even dodged! : ]

Jamka critkills this dude.

Overkill dancer is incredibly useful!

Levin continues this dude.

And that's it. End turn.

CRAP

Ayra learns critical and puts immediately to good use.

SCREW YOU RNG!

DAMN YOU RNG! That's not a major screwup, that's a minor screwup because RNG screwed me over.

Reset, do this.

Ayra.png

It's been a while since we saw Azel do anything. Let's correct that right now!

Holyn takes the kill. I'm in no mood for tempting the RNG.

Aideen patches up Ardan...

Jamka doesn't critkill this one, but rather activates charge or a double adept.

Tactical nuke incoming!

Do a little jig for the four main force people

Surprised?

I mean with maxed skill, this should occur pretty often.

Poor Dew, one defense is so bad that he was neglected.

I did this on purpose to draw the fire of one of the archers away from someone who might die. It was pointless.

Yes, it was pointless indeed. Because the other person they targeted would have survived, then they go for Aideen anyways. That's FE4 AI for you.

You dumb.

No, it's called pointless care.

Oh wait, I protected Holyn with Aideen. But then he said screw you, dodge like a champ.

Then he activates luna twice for more overkill.

Meanwhile, this armor and Ardan get into A FENCING MATCH! PLACE YEEERRRRR BETS!

Yeesh. That hurts. Wait what the hell, you can't 2HKO Levin, who has 5 def. You're a joke.

Levin understands my pain of having only like 8 units to work with.

See why it was pointless? No worries, Aideen dodged.

Alert, Alert, duck and cover DUCK AND COVER!

ARDAN WINS! Cash in your bets now please!

Heal. He'll need it.

Dew was bored, so I move him up and let him poke the armor for free money.

Levin takes the kill.

Ayra equips the Iron blade and prepares to face MacBEEEE!

Yeah, they're all foot units!

Oh. Ummmm, we kind of hired one of them.

Ayra gets pretty roughed up in the process, so Aideen patches her up.

That's right Ayra, show him who's boss! (haha get it because he's a boss)

Screw you. This is greatshield. I was trying to get a good pic of it since forever. Now will have to do I guess.

After a little boss abuse sparring with Macbeth, here's level 20 Ayra, all ready for promotion. She is AMAZING! I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure her strength is 3 above her average at this level! SHE'S AS STRONG AS ARDAN! Think about that! She also has overkill speed, and max skill! Holy shit!

Levin takes over the battle.

Bye Ayra! See ya near Mackily!

HOOO BOY. Just FYI, this is about the time when LEX would promote. With PARAGON and all.

Swordmastaaa!

THE SHINING LIGHT ENGULFS US!

POKEMON EVOLUTION STYLE FLASHES OCCUR BETWEEN HER CURRENT AND SOON TO BE FORM!

HELL YEAH!

HELL YEAH!

HELL YES! She no longer needs Paragon, so she sells it.

DID I MENTION THAT SHE GETS INNATE ADEPT UPON PROMOTION? LOL! HOW IS AN ENEMY GOING TO LIVE?! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Next time: All tragic heroes must fall at some point!

[elf_01]

You know, I'm not that familiar with FE4 stats, but that Arya looks completely out of control :o

[momogeek2141]

You know, I'm not that familiar with FE4 stats, but that Arya looks completely out of control :o

With that sword, strength blessing, and skillset, she is! She's pretty average in skill/speed/magic, and screwed in HP by 1(.2), but everything else is blessed!

[spoiler=Anphony]

Sigurd visits that one village we desperately tried to save. Bracelet?

Bargain ring! Sigurd is going to need this since he can't earn money, and I have big plans for Serlis.

Macbeth attacks Levin. And I like Levin's character. I can just imagine him.

Hey! King of the Universe!

; [ What!

Screw you.

Macbeth DOES look kinda old.

This is gonna go on for a while.

Deirdre you suck. Get out.

Enemy phase, and Levin hits the dude.

Ethlin gets the armorslayer Iron Cutter. This sword gives a guaranteed critical hit against armored units. The problem? Bad might, bad hit, bad weight. So yeah, it's really only useful in the arena. Where all the enemies dodge your hits.

Ayra no longer needs this. She keeps the return ring because she'll hit the money cap and lose about 7000 potential gold in the process.

Levin continues his game of dodgeball.

At some point I decide to see if Dew can rob this guy. THEN HIS 1 DAMN DEFENSE BETRAYS ME AGAIN (godammit Dew...)

At some point, Levin finally kills the fool.

What kind of retard unleashes bandits on their own villages?

More importantly, I get the shield ring(+5 defense). As if Levin wasn't broken enough.

What? Free exp!

I kinda want to have Jamka promoted next chapter as well, so he buys paragon. He'll keep it for this chapter.

I continue this until we reach around Nodion.

More money!

More exp! Aideen might even promote next chapter at this rate! Also, Lachesis won't be doing a whole lot from now on, because I need her knights to not get in the way.

This is Levin. He's got a job to do at home.

Of course, I save once I'm ready.

That tactics rank isn't going to look pretty.

We're done here.

No kidding. Heirhein was hell.

...Okay really FE4? On what grounds can someone conspire like this?

Oh, ok. They think Sigurd's an Isaacian spy.

I hope I get to kill those guys!

Oh, ok. They're just jealous, so they try to kill someone. WHAT?

Oh yeah, I completely forgot that even existed.

Shanan, I'm sorry!

This is going to go on forever, isn't it?

So the duke was mad because only he was allowed to be polygamous and his wife couldn't?

ONE DAY GUYS. IT WAS NOT OVER TIME, IT WAS INSTANT. THAT'S IMPORTANT TO THE STORY.

Sygin? Weren't Manfool and Sandoofus talking about uniting her children? Also, ALVIS!

Ok, I get it game. Tell me a LONG STORY and then "Okay, I wasted your time. Forget about it completely." You wasted your time telling me that, you might as well tell me more.

Anyways, we're done. Finally. I haven't tried the next castle yet, so I can't exactly give a preview just yet. However, I will tell you that after this chapter is complete, I'll do a unit review.

[Ansem]

Now imagine if Ayra had a mount.

[momogeek2141]

Mackily castle is one of the more interesting castles. Because of that, have one long update.

[spoiler=Mackily]

Who knows when Lachesis may be useful. Even at the end, she does very little.

This is my attack (or in this case defense) squad.

Yes.

Wait WHAT DAMMIT!

Oh hey, it's that crazy chick from earlier who thinks Levin is a prince.

What the-DAMMIT! SCREW YOU SHAGAAL!

Oh come on, Ayra's not that mean!

Lesson of the day: question whether your sources are reliable. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE GUY WHO KILLED HIS DAD!

Unfortunately that blow will be eaten by Ardan and then they'll get slaughtered.

So after that cutscene these cavalry will come after me.

Fury's squadron will go after Evans. If you're playing blind this is your "Oh shit I better have left someone to guard it" moment. I was proactive and put Levin in that castle previously.

This is Mackily. And they conveniently place ballista in an inaccessible area! In the middle of the road!

This is Clement. He's a bishop, so he uses magic. Those stats aren't what make him scary. It's the sleep staff. Enemies have unlimited durability weapons. Imagine. Unlimited ballistae. Unlimited Bolting. UNLIMITED SLEEP. That's his problem, as the only person with more than 15 res is Deirdre, and she'll get slaughtered by the ballistae with her negative avoid.

This is our first encounter with non arena generic myrmidons. They all have pursuit as you can see, so keep your squishies away.

Fury has really good bases, and the slim lance is a pretty good weapon. Her growths are meh, but she gets really high speed often.

Pursuit/10. She's also unusable/10.

Why are there so many bosses worse than generic Phil! At least he can troll me with unlimited physic.

Master knight is better, sorry. Actually, wait, I would like a Baron! On another note, screw great shield.

Levin leaves and gets ready to talk to Fury. In a long time.

The plan: Ardan tank, rest kill.

Get used to diagonal formations. It's a way to stay out of range of an enemy.

Pursuit on Ardan is so beautiful. Now if only he had a good weapon. Or more strength (he's gonna need a lot to stand out.)

He tanks them without too much trouble.

Until this guy javelins him. Damn.

Well, let's begin. Jamka takes this one.

Azel is so bad that the AA squad can't do things anymore.

Holyn takes one and Syl does a dance for these four.

Nice!

Good. I told y'all that I want Jamka promoted soon, so I'm going to give him as many kills as he can get.

Aideen restores Ardan's tanking potential.

Damn Ballista. They won't go for Ardan at all because his defense is high enough to tink (well technically it's one damage but enemies don't target units that they'll tink against.)

I'm stupid, I put Ayra there to plug up the choke point, but they all go for her, wasting exp.

...Why isn't Gonzales saying anything?

Yeeeeeeppppp. Rewind!

The new formation requires Aideen to tank a hit.

Dangit Holyn, how do you miss a 98?

I put Jamka in range of two. He's all right.

Holyn faces off against Mr. Captain here.

EY! GET OUT!

Dew chips this guy for the money.

Azel chips this guy for the Dew.

Holyn kills this guy for the exp.

See above. Replace Holyn with Ardan.

La la laaaaa!

MONEY!

ARGH JAMKA!

I feel like I should have given it to Ardan. Whatever.

If those guys couldn't two shot Dew, they're a sorry bunch.

While Aideen's healing everybody up there, Levin gets ready to recruit Fury.

He has to face a bunch of pegs. Wind magic is does not become effective against flyers until FE5. Then again, there is a wind magic spell in this game that's so broken it might as well be effective against everything.

Levin kills two and spares two. He then chats with the peg knight.

Wait, Levin is actually a prince?

Yeah, a huge part of Levin's character is the FuryxLevinxSylvia triangle.

Fury asks Levin to take the throne, and Levin says no, it'll cause mutiny. I'm not gonna hurt the people.

Awww...notice how she said "with me" and not "to Silesia." Don't worry, you'll get the love of your life!

Sorted what stuff exactly? Well it doesn't matter. Fury's squad turns green and leaves the map. Permanently. Fury becomes recruitable however.

Fury's feeling awkward. I like this pairing!

Yep. LevinXFury confirmed. This pairing is even canon!

Lach heals her while Levin crawls up here.

Oh, and I decide to let Ardan retry the arena. He wins the next round, but he isn't beating the thunder mage anytime soon. He is slow, after all.

Gulp...I'm scared of that range.

Might as well.

It's on! Notice the amount of damage Ardan took compared to the myrm.

Damn archers! These have pursuit too!

The ballistae love targetting Sylvia. She's kinda dodgy, fortunately, because she can't take more than one hit.

Next turn...DIE!

Levin kills another. He's going to be real useful here because of his magic userness (and because he can at least dodge and/or eat a hit...AZEL!)

More of this.

Ayra can one round pretty much all of these enemies. She's going to come in real handy in this castle.

Of course she crits.

Get another turn. I'm trying to keep Sylvia off the road so that her evade isn't less (roads give -10 evasion)

Jamka crits a myrm.

Holyn kills this guy...

And Levin takes out a mage. These mages are pains because they will severely hurt Ardan, negating his tankiness.

I place him here. Notice the mistake?

...That's right. The two fire mages can shoot him, ending his life. I would have restarted but...

What the fuck was this guy doing?

Major Screwup count: 11

And then SHIT! SHIT SHIT SHIT!

Okay, Ardan's immobilized. I want to kill Clement this turn so that no one else will get sleeped (thank god he didn't go for, like, Ayra!) Jamka starts out by killing this dude.

YES! Levin crits stupid mage.

Ayra does what she does best.

KILLING!

I actually think the ballistae nuked Sylvia and she died. LOL. Well next run I did the same but Dew chipped the fire mage.

Good, good!

She cleanly one rounds him.

Oh I'm sorry, did I forget to knock?

And then Ayra says Fuck You, Astra critical.

'

I will Mr. Generic Bishop.

Dammit, more shit on Ayra! So many funds wasted!

Dew gets hit, but his evasion is pretty decent (his defense though...)

I'll save you the failed run. Jamka kills this one.

And Sigurd gets in range.

And somehow a Ballista can target her anyways.

Screw you, Ballistae!

I never showed it since it's unnecessary, but seizing a castle before all the enemies are dead kills those enemies. Of course, I killed all of the enemies before I seized.

GOOD. More EXP for Jamka.

And literally that's it. It's like this castle was trying to be filler.

[momogeek2141]

Now imagine if Ayra had a mount.

Oh my god, that would be like...Jesus.

If you're wondering how I got in this update so fast, it's because the previous update included these images. And that crossed the limit. So yeah.

[spoiler=Agusty prep]

I went on a tad longer. Levin repairs this.

Fury's all like .

Same with Dew. Jesus look at that cash! I think I'm going to money dump Aideen.

Oh yeah, Shagaal and Manfloy plot some more.

I actually agree with him. I'd never have a promoted Ayra at this stage of the game.

Whaa...OH YOU LITTLE PIECE OF...

Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no.

WHAT! Oh no guys, Alvis is a bad guy! But he helped Sigurd!

I...am not sure if Ardan can tank an army of this size.

On normal playthroughs, Zyne would be a nightmare because of his Horseslayer. It's weak for a lance, autocrits against mounts, has crap accuracy and weight. However, it'll pretty much oneshot Sigurd or Cuan (If they live the lance knights will tear them apart.) However for me, it's no problem. Why?

...IT'S A MOUNTLESS RUN! HA! TAKE THAT IS!

Finished napping yet?

I have Lach clear the first two things in the arena, and I look at this.

Phew! Let's get ready to go!

[momogeek2141]

And with this update, we're officially halfway through the generation! And this took me forever because I kept accidentally savestating over and pressing wrong keys, and forgetting things like villages, items, etc!

[spoiler=Agusty]

This is our formation. I'll let the units take over from here.

CHAAAARRRRRGE! NOT ONE STEP BACKWARDS!

Brace for impact!

Generic dude: NOOOOO! THIS ISN'T FAIR! THEIR KNIGHTS HAVE PURSUIT!

What! So this is how they play...If you see a mounted unit, let me know!

Urgh...Ouch...help...me

Here you go! Feeling all better!

Hehehe, it's our turn now! STRIKE FORCE, GO!

Ha! Take this for Ayra!

IM SUPER COOL I CAN ONE ROUND GUYS!

Ha! Take this! THUNDA!

Healer dude: WHAT THE...HEY! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! IT'S AGAINST THE RULES TO ATTACK HEALERS!

Jamka: Sorry ma'am, I don't play by the rules! BAM!

MONEYYYYYY!

TAKE THIS! ELWIND!

Ayra: AHAHAHAHAHA! IT IS I, THE GODDESS OF DOOM!

Generic dude: Commander, we must retreat! They have HER on their side! There's no way we will win! Her very presence creates leadership, but without stars!

WHAT! I'll take her on myself...actually, I'll get her into attacking me.

Aideen: Good luck next turn!

Syl: ChaChaCha!

What the image says!

Jamka: TAKE THIS! CRITICAL ARROW!

Jamka: Sorry, but you're so pathetic that you aimed the wrong way. Now time to die! ADEPT!

URGH!

Momogeek2141 is back, I went to the restroom. So yeah, this happened I guess.

He's come so far...

Surprised yet? I'm still using her despite her overleveledness because she will help thin out the crowd, and I'm using so few units that EXP won't be THAT much of a problem.

Holyn helps out too.

I hope to get him promoted next chapter. At this rate he will.

Jamka will get mobbed, but that's okay, he can take it.

Once again, ballista. And they're annoying.

The armors are tough when you don't activate double Luna like Holyn did here.

Yay, more dead horsies.

Wait, what? The healers are attacking? Holyn butchers this one like he did the others.

After this piece of stuff, I'll just briefly describe what happened.

Deirdre chipped the arch knight for Dew

Levin crits an armor

Holyn fails

More for Dew

Jamka

Holyn picks up the slack.

That's pretty much all that happens. I restarted this last turn a bunch of times because I messed up in various ways after this turn, like the ballistae would shoot Syl or something. Mostly because I forgot stuff.

Some of the important things include Fin getting the Brave lance (which is to be sold)

Warping Dew to Anphony to save all of the villages...

Talking to Lach with Beowulf to get her some nice stats...

And Lach returning Azel and Aideen. Why those two?

This is why. Aideen promoted to High Priest. And Azel sold his thunder to her. Yes, his only good tome. He'll get a stronger fire one next chapter (although fire soooo...) Aideen then uses her new spell to completely clear the arena. She no longer needs Dew's money that I made him dump to her actually!

Hey, you stole my line from the Nodion update!

This is Aideen. This is bad.

THIS IS JAMKA. THIS IS VERY VERY BAD.

At least it wasn't 200. I actually took longer the first time I played through, and that was with mounts and everything.

We're done here.

Sweet! Knight ring provides Canto! My army of footies will need this.

Guess. I'll give you one chance. He's from Nodion, and loyal to his country.

Hell yeah, Eltshan! Wait a minute...Didn't Manfloy say something about using Eltshan?

...Oh god this is bad.

Wait wadafu-HOW?!

Blame your idiot of a king doofus. Not my fault.

"It doesn't make any sense to me." IT DAMN WELL DOES TO ME SIGURD. SHAGAAL WAS BEING A BUFFOON BECAUSE OF MANfloy wait he wouldn't know that.

One year then peace! YAY

Sweet! Peace is on!

I could take you out with my GODLY SWORDMASTER.

Well, this ended well.

And we're done with chapter 2, halfway through gen 1 and finished a quarter of the game!

Here it is. The Stats are how much higher or lower compared to the average.

[spoiler=Unit Review]

Deirdre honestly doesn't have much potential. Her growths are pretty bad, her class is bad, HER TOME IS BAD. She was necessary for the chapter 1 clear by silencing Sandima, and occasionally nuked an enemy for Dew to get money, but she didn't do very much.

Stats: Hp -1.1, Magic -1.1, Skill -0.6, Speed -0.3, Luck -0.3, Def -0.3, Res -1.1

FINALLY GUYS, HE PROCCED DEFENSE! His physical bases are so damn low that he can't chip, or survive a hit. I mean 2 defense at this stage of the game? I expect him to do more later after he money dumps Sigurd and Sylvia. I shouldn't have had him money dump Aideen, it was a waste in the end. This Dew is actually extremely average except for a mild HP screwage and major Def screwage. So everything related to durability.

Stats: Hp -1, Str=0, Mag=0, Skl=0, Spd=0, Lck=0, Def -3, Res=0.

Jamka was really really good. As you can see, in my final run he ended up getting the kill for Shagaal. His skillset made him really deadly, and with the chance to crit on top of that, he became a lean mean killing machine. He's pretty stat screwed, too! I seriously hope he stops looking at Aideen and try out a more worthy wife (maybe I should just castle Aideen in chapter 3.) What a boss.

Stats: HP -0.7, Str -2.5, Mgc=0, Skl -0.3, Spd -1.9, Lck -1.2, Def -2.9, Res -0.6

First things first: Stop thinking about Jamka. Second, extremely good healer. Without any skills, she'll never amount to anything when it comes to major fighting, but her really high magic means she will heal like a boss. She will probably keep that thunder tome in case she needs to defend herself, but I'd say she's looking pretty good right now. Although why can't that str blessing go to speed or defense?

Stats: HP -0.6, Str +1.4, Mgc +2.6, Skl -1.6, Spd -1.4, Lck +.2, Def -1.6, Res +1.1

She joined way too late to be of any use, her stats are way too bad for her to fight effectively. I'll probably just have her visit villages and pillage bandits with her thief sword because all I want her to be is a bank for Dew.

Stats: Hp -0.4, Str +2, Mgc -0.2, Skl +1.6, Spd +1.2, Lck +0.4, Def +1.2, Res -0.4 (BTW I didn't include the Beowulf's convo in these stats.)

Sylvia's stats are shit, but that doesn't matter because her job is simply to dance. Her dancing ability made all of the chapter two castles besides Heirhein much, much easier as I could take out 4 more enemies than normal. She's frail, however, so I better be really careful when bringing her near. I plan for her to buy the Knight ring so that she can run out of the way after dancing.

Stats: Hp -2, Str -0.6, Mag +1.2, Skl -4.6, Spd +0.4, Lck +1.2, Def -0.6, Res +0.6

Levin was a BEAST! Even though he was only there for part of a chapter, the contributions he made in that chapter were so much! The fact that he has a second tier spell of the best magic helped, continue and critical helped! If only he had pursuit...that can be easily fixed with the ring. All in all, he made my life so much easier because he wasn't Azel.

Stats: Hp +0.8, Str -0.8, Mag +1.6, Skl +0.8, Spd -1.2, Lck +1.4, Def -1.6, Res +0.2

Holyn was incredibly useful. Pursuit combined with a giant sword meant that he would dish out a ton of damage. His durability is decent too, although it isn't amazing. All in all, he held his own very well, and I hope he continues to kick ass for me.

Stats: Hp +1.5, Str -0.5, Mag -0.2, Skl +1, Spd +0.5, Lck +1, Def -1.5, Res +0.8

This was the one rating you all wanted to see really badly. And I don't even know where to begin.

Ayra started out decently strong. She would proc astra occasionally, and her early strength blessing allowed her to one round Verdane bandits. Because she used swords and had pursuit, the ASS strategy was very effective.

NOW SHE IS A NIGHTMARE WITH PURSUIT CONTINUE ASTRA AND AN AMAZING DAMN SWORD! Holy shit, she turned from something with potential to something that broke its potential! After she promoted, she pretty much led the team and dodged and killed any enemy that got in her damn way! I love this gal so much! Sadly, she'll be selling her sword to Holyn, but she'll get another sword JUST AS GOOD. (And no, it's not the killing edge.)

Stats: Hp -1.2, Str +2.2, Skl=0, Spd +0.2, Lck +3.8, Def -0.2, Res +1.2

Hey, it's Mr. "Proc two empty levels in a row man!" During the prologue, he was by far my best foot unit due to his ability to deal damage like nobody's business. With the introduction of Ayra in chapter 1, he slowly began to fall behind because she started to solo squads. He was still good against like Kinbois's men but he didn't stand out. Then in chapter two Levin came along and completely left him in the dust. Normally he has more potential but he can't promote, so why shovel more EXP into him when I can shovel it into Ardan? Maybe I should sell that speed ring now...

Stats: Hp -0.3, Str +1.1, Mag -0.6, Skl -1.8, Spd -1.5, Def -1.8, Res -0.9

And finally, it's Doga Ardan. Just look at those Strength and Defense stats. Ardan was pretty useless during the prologue because of his bad move and the fact that he had crappy bases. In chapter 1 he picked up those stats by eating fed kills and chipping. In chapter two he was tremendously useful, especially after he got the pursuit ring. His high strength but weak weapon was perfect for feeding kills to Dew and Levin. Unfortunately, he'll probably sell the pursuit ring, but I expect a lot out of him, and there is a 90% chance that this lp will be the first to show off him promoting!

Stats: Hp +0.3, Str +0.5, Mag -0.6, Skl -0.3, Spd +0.4, Lck -1.2, Def -0.2, Res -0.6

[spoiler=Chapter 3 prep]

And now we begin chapter 3!

Shagaal, why are you such an idiot? CAN'T YOU WAIT ANOTHER MONTH!

Oh well I'm sorry IT'S YOUR DAMN FAULT!

I'm scared of that portrait. Get used to that portrait. That's the portrait of bosses that have semblance of a threat.

Thunda sword!!!!!

Eltshan's still awesome like usual.

Hey Aideen look-alike. Wait, didn't Aideen mention that she had a sister? COULD IT BE...?

Robin Hood!

Wow, really?

Wow Gerrard recolor or maybe just copy-pasted. You use way too many apostrophes.

Sigurd, as usual, makes sense with his AMAZING WORDS.

DOBARL!

Sigurd! Good for you!

Go Shanan! Keep on being a badass! Please!

And now's our cue to begin!

Their attack force is split. One is here...

And a group of Lance knights are attacking from the left, and Lance armors from the right.

Jacoban sports kinda good stats (except that luck) but his real threat is that he strikes resistance. On the flipside his magic is almost nonexistant. The Thunder sword casts a 12 might Elthunder when used from range. Light sword is still better with a 14 might lightning.

Male myrmidons promote to heroes. As a result, they have innate pursuit. They don't get innate continue like swordmasters however. Jacoban'll be easy with my squad of badasses.

Pirates are always a threat, meaning we'll have to move relatively fast. Hey, what's that new ballista?

Oh just a 25 MT DAMN WEAPON! It'll miss kinda often but still don't want to be on the receiving end of it.

There's a group of random fire mages in the forest too. Lolfire magic.

This is the guy that stops most of my units without rigging. Damn douche has a shield ring, a ton of HP, and uses dark magic. Jormung has 90 hit. If Ardan wasn't badass and dodged his first his, he would have lost. (Levin had tons of trouble with this dude, although that could be because of the WTD.)

After a few rounds, Jamka is ready.

SNIPER!

His stats are well rounded, although he's pretty stat screwed. That killer bow will help him be useful.

In addition to his new weapon.

He doesn't need it, so it's gone.

Azel buys the Elfire tome. It's still crap, trading 10 hit for like 4 mt.

Ayra sells the sleep staff. She'll never have to worry about money again.

Aideen buys physic and sleep. She's kinda broke, but she'll be alright.

Holyn barely got enough experience to get to level 20.

Hero! Likin' those shoulders.

Imagine Ayra with more durability, 3 less strength, 4 less skill, and 3 less speed and you have Holyn.

On another note, Ethlin sells the light sword. She's not going to need it.

Lach sells the knight ring too. Dew's gonna money dump Syl for her to get enough money for this.

Deirdre actually can't leave the castle to help out, and she sucks so bad she can't even get past round one in the arena. She sells her stuff and later money dumps Sigurd.

How far people progressed in the arena. Note that Lex and Holyn can talk to Ayra. I'll get into that when the actual chapter starts.

Now, Ayra sells her Silver sword. She'll miss it for sure.

Holyn buys it, since he's the one that makes best use of it.

Alright, let's start this!

Next time: Multiple Squad attack, and Ayra's new weapon.

[momogeek2141]

500 images for the entirety of chapter 3. Just giving you a progress report. I'll try to update tomorrow.

EDIT: Upon uploading them I realize that it's actually 600 images. Jesus Christ.

[spoiler=Madino]

This is Lex. He also puts all of his spare weapons in storage because he's coming onto the map to pair up with Syl.

Ethlin buys the spare Silver Sword. Leaf might need a good weapon, and this may cut it.

Next, Deirdre gives her money to Sigurd. Not only he has a ton of stuff to buy, but she isn't usable after this castle, so might as well have her be useful. Later on she cleared the Arena some and helped out by RNG abusing (it's legit because it's a footie! Also the RNG was BS.)

Oh HELL YES!

Yes indeed Holyn, thanks a TON! The Brave sword is really good, only two might short of the Silver sword. Ayra's going to be using this sword for the rest of gen two, then sell it to Sigurd so that it'll be Serlis's "personal" weapon.

I had Fury store her weapons as well. She's going to fall for Levin.

Here's the basic plan of attack. Ayra, Jamka, Azel, Aideen, Ardan, Dew, and Syl are going north to face the force stationed by Madino. Meanwhile, Holyn and his new sword is going to do a solo mission and head west to face those Lance knights, and later head north to save the villages, and ultimately head east to meet up with the first group. Levin is going east to deal with those armors, and Lachesis is going northeast to deal with that one bandit. Eventually, all the groups will come together.

Believe it or not, Levin almost died to this group. He would have if not for Deirdre's RNG abuse and his shield ring.

The main force has started the battle.

This turn was a huge "Screw you" from the RNG. Jamka basically got hit by almost everything until he was at 3 health, then he started dodging. Not fair at all!

Or maybe you dumb.

Like seriously, he killed EVERYTHING. EVEN THE GENERAL CAPTAIN.

Fortunately the Bow knight couldn't reach him and instead went for Da Baws.

Levin continues doing his thing.

These guys have a fair hit rate on Holyn, so he's going to try to dodge them on the forest tile (if he was on a road he'd be screwed. He isn't THAT tanky.)

Meanwhile, Azel puts Elfire to use. Despite the fact that fire magic sucks, you can't deny that second tier spells hurt armors a lot more effectively. And since this guy is using lolaxes, well...

The results are predictable.

I've made this mistake so many times before, it's not funny.

He gets another.

Ayra takes care of her pest while Azel chips for Swagdan. Later on he'll make up for it guys, don't you worry!

Situation east of Agusty.

Oh boy, the fire mages are moving.

Holyn dodgetanks them pretty well. I mean, they have 51 hit rates and he doesn't even care!

Almost there!

2 health! YAY.

I said in the unit review that Aideen was basically guaranteed to stay as a staffbot because no skills, but that doesn't mean she can't take a few generic fire mages with her WTF 26 Magic.

Good. Now Ayra can feed you to the Brave sword.

Yeah, Dew and Lach are going to be the Robin Hood duo, stealing from enemies and giving it to the units in need.

She equips the prayer sword after. Oh yeah, there's a sword only usable by females that grants prayer as long as it's equipped.

I had to have Deirdre burn two RNS from this guy before he didn't hit Holyn.

If my girlfriend was a crossknight I would Brag!

On another note, Jamka attracts the armor squad near Madino. Like, the ones protecting it.

Aideen would be an amazing fighter if she had better weapon ranks or skills.

Levin is in need of XP more than Lach.

A fresher tome can do wonders for losers like Azel.

Stay baws, Ayra.

This douchebag has fortify, which will heal everyone within 10 spaces of him. I don't want that.

My swordplay is too good for you!

With the help of Syl, Azel can take a second.

Is killing a mage worth eating a hit for?

Is killing a mage without taking a hit worth it?

Jamka kills I think.

Okay, the armor attacks Lex. He's unarmed though. Either case, sorry, I was greedy and should have had Sylvia take the hit. The result would have been the same either way, but...sorry.

Robin Hood duo and the Prince and his loyal (pegasus) knight go for romantic picnics.

I'm still in awe over what Azel is able to do.

Levin visits the village Lach saved for Restore. He'll be able to use it after promo.

Aideen is such a boss.

Ayra and Jamka are going to try to save the villages up north. Ardan will follow. Also, notice something?

Mmmhmm. Jacoban looks at Jamka.

Jamka hurts him. Badly.

Good luck there, chap!

Screw extra money, this village must not go down!

Nope, no RNG abuse at all. Even though I reconfigured my combination of attacks.

That's the last of them.

Holyn kills the bandit after Dew gets the money.

Funfact guys: Ardan can actually use the thunder sword! And the damage he's doing ain't half bad!

I doubt any of you have seen an armor with a magic sword, so here you go!

Oh yeah, Lach will be going north to intercept and pillage the thief of his money.

And then I had Sylvia die, so to prevent that I'm going to bring the bandit to Lach by covering up the villages.

Mmmhmm.

Yep. Ardan is really close to promoting.

What the hell, free money!

Free EXP for Ardan too.

A

And now Aideen and Lach heal everybody. And I stall for love.

Thank god! Yes!

Also nice! The thief duo can do stuff now! Notice how Dew is a man of "Eltshan's calibur."

Fury's going to be so happy Levin proposed to her. On the subject, this pairing happens REALLY REALLY FAST.

This on the other hand I did NOT know happens really really fast. I'm so confused on so many levels it hurts. I know Sylvia falls in love with basically everybody, but Lex is really fast?! I don't even...

That's all the pairings that happened.

I try to see the status of Aideen, and this happens. It's funny, scary, and worrying at the same time.

This, the magic ring, and the paragon ring all go to Dew. Since it's going to be hard to feed him kills physically, why not magically?

Azel sells the Speed ring. He won't really want or need it. It goes to Sigurd.

Madino=finished!

Yeah, Shagaal! Who's the one going to the other for help now?

Hopefully it won't come down to it.

Manfloy. This is Claud BTW, and he's going to marry Aideen if Ardan doesn't snatch her first (I'm still laughing at it.)

The throne? I guess?

Sigurd suspects Reptor? Guys, I think Reptor did this.

The truth!

Oo-la-la, who's this fine lass?

Oh, bodyguard!

NO YOU ARE NOT GOING TO MARRY HIM, YOU'RE GOING TO MARRY AZEL, AND CLAUD'S GOING TO MARRY AIDEEN. DEAL WITH IT.

Sweet! Another healer!

We're done with Madino! And a few pages of images!

Next time: If Shin's bothering to read this, he's going to love the next update to an extent. Guess why.

[momogeek2141]

And here's Silvail!

[spoiler=Why isn't Dew dead?]

Shanan is right. He's the man!

Oh cmon Shanan, it'll be good practice!

Oh, ok. With your FANTASTIC 5 move, go ALL THE WAY TO MADINO AND BACK and come back quickly. How do you expect her to pull that off, cutscene hax?

Wait...what's going on?

MANFLOY!!!

New-OH YOU LITTLE...! Ayra, show this buffoon business! You're right there!

Sigurd's too far away! Don't call him! Call Ayra! Or Jamka! Azel, I'm desperate!

NOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh boy guys, Shagaal's idiocy strikes again.

Eltshan why?

This can't be good.

This one right here...this is one hell of a speech. This rivals Ike's speech in PoR before the attack on the Crimean capital. If I were a cross knight I'd do whatever I could to butcher my enemy. I love Eltshan as a character so much. Too bad his son sucks.

More armors! More!

HAHAHAHAHA! This is going to be a fun battle isn't it!

No skills isn't the killer. the 5 fricking leadership stars. Anyone within 3 squares of him is getting +50 hit and evade (40? I'm unsure. It's one of the two. Either way it's huge.)

So what's our strategy against this terrifying foe?

This can't possibly end well! (This was an old screenshot, the other people are nearby.)

Dew, what is going on? How do they have 0 hit?

Now comes the hard part. Dew chipped many of them (And became rich in the process) but many are undamaged. Ardan actually is pretty useful here because of his thunder sword. He's not attacking up close because I don't think he'd be able to double that way.

The effect of Eltshan's leadership. A 0% hit turned into a 70.

I could also have had Levin soloed them with the pursuit ring, but that's no fun! Plus, Dew got a ton of money!

]

Get some more kills, Sylvia does her thing.

I'm still shocked that thunder sword Ardan is a thing.

Now we could talk to Eltshan but...

Okay, this won't work unless she gets an Astra. She doesn't and I have to restart. Like, the entire cross knight part.

*sigh* I tried guys.

Sigurd did nothing even! He didn't even fight goddammit!

You can join us and help us kill the cross knights!

Honestly, Agustria was destined to fall as soon as Shagaal rose to power. BAM, BURN BABY!

Lachesis, stop spouting lies! I'd never give up the chance to promote Ardan!

Say goodbye to Eltshan folks. Why? Cause Shagaal strikes again.

Oh yeah, we get the earth sword. Nifty sword that heals, but it has 10 uses, and then got upped to 60 in Thracia.

Buddy, you're a faggot. By having Eltshan leave, Shagaal summons wyvern riders to attack Madino.

During EP, all the cross knights went for Sylvia. She prayerdodged them. What can you do without Eltshan, huh?

I love Brave sword Ayra so much.

Cleanup. After this we'll head straight for Silvail.

Oh, and Aideen warps Levin to Madino to guard from the Wyverns. Every castle saved is more gold, you know! I also warped Azel, but I had him go away because I wanted more EXP on Levin.

Here they are!

Now, it's the time you've all been waiting for since the start of this LP.

You've all thought that Ardan was useless. That his five move hindered him. That his weak weapon type and lack of pursuit prevented him from being anything besides a glorified chipper.

Well now it's my turn to tell you that...

You were wrong. It's time for Swagdan to get more swag!

General promotion gains aren't that great compared to other promotions, but it'll do. The more important thing though is...

He can use the useless shit that only the mounts could use. He buys the Brave Axe and Lance (though tbh, he'll probably solely use the axe.)

And now he can finish the Arena! Look at that design and pallete! So...glorious. I especially like the cape flip when he prepares to strike.

Anyways, we might as well clear these armors while waiting for Swagdan. Notice that with Ayra can one round them if she had Holyn's silver sword.

I'm using the Steel Blade for a reason.

This is said reason.

Cmon Aideen! Dodge!

This part and the next part are the best places in the game to train Dew. The next part is also a gold mine for him.

We heal everybody up.

This is papillion. He sucks. He also has a renewal ring, which is a 90% useless skill unless the user has prayer.

Levin can handle these guys easily. He'll be all right.

Or maybe not. Fortunately an empty tome doesn't count as a weapon. (UNLIKE PHYSICAL WEAPONS!) So he's basically unarmed.

We promptly do this.

In one year, shagaal got 15 levels. And he still sucks. Well, that defense is kinda threatening and so is the third tier fire tome but he'll go down easily.

Oh, did I mention that Ardan has Greatshield now? Yes, he has greatshield. Screw you too enemies!

Levin finishes off these dudes.

This is our formation. Ardan can 2HKO them with the Brave Axe. He doesn't even need pursuit anymore (He'll keep it until next chapter maybe.)

So these guys are literally the same as we fought the previous few chapters. They go down easy.

Holyn did a cool crit animation that I failed to capture.

Friggin amazing, man. I knew you'd pull through!

Our turn. Aideen starts by doing her tactical nuke (it used to be Deirdre, now it's Aideen.)

The nuked ones like always go to Dew. Except for the fact that he can actually be some semblance of use now.

New Swagdan.png

Cmon Holyn!

Ah, whatever. No biggie.

This poor guy has nobody to pick on now.

Dance formation!

Ayra like usual gets kills. I've told you before that I'm trying to feed the brave sword.

I like Ardan all of a sudden. He used to be a liability!

Holyn coming in with the critz.

This is Dew. He's got a job to do up there.

Meanwhile, we set up like this. I want Jamka to get the kill because he killed Shagaal last time, and also he drops a Silver blade that Jamka wants to pass down. By putting Ayra next to him, he gets a +20% critical rate. Oh yeah, siblings and lovers get the critical skill when adjacent with a +20% bonus.

Next time: Will Jamka kill Shagaal yet again? What's Shanan's reaction?

[momogeek2141]

[spoiler=Finally, the douchebag is dead.]

Last update for Silvail.

I'm Eltshan's greatest fanboy, you inconsiderable maggot!

Well crap. Bolganone hurts.

Then again, so is a double adept by Jamka. (If he wasn't str screwed he would have killed!)

Heal up...

And score!

Go die in a hole, loser.

This sword is worth twice as much as you, Shagaal.

Ready to rock and roll!

Warp these two to Madino.

We're done. We conquered all of fricking Agustria.

SHANAN!

Oh...how's Sigurd going to react?

Thank god she left Serlis in the castle. MANFLOY!!!!

Hmm, I don't know, how about MAKING BABIES WITH HER BROTHER! GAAAHHH!

Way to end on a high note, Momogeek!

Next time: Dew's salvage and obligatory Est-type character.

[I love fire emblem]

Huh, I wonder what will Dew do next? Will he die and leave Raquesis forever alone or survive and have that hilarious ch.5 conversation with her?

Edited May 16, 2015 by I love fire emblem

[momogeek2141]

The rules say that no deaths, so Dew won't die. I also want to show off the chapter 5 convo. He also has a ton of money to dump on Sigurd.

[Zasplach]

Only reason to do the pairing. *spoiler* totally worth it.

[I love fire emblem]

Oh ok

Only reason to do the pairing. *spoiler* totally worth it.

It really is, to be perfectly honest.

[momogeek2141]

We're almost done with chapter 3!

[spoiler=Est is the best(sometimes)]

Damn right they did!

Whoa. Briggid is...very insightful.

"Whoops!"

Uh oh. This can't be good guys.

Yeah! Go Briggid!

Well she ran, and now this is going on. ANOTHER SNIPER! (JamkaXBriggid isn't very good actually)

Good luck with that! You'll have to face the almighty...

Dew? Well crap. Fortunately Dew's wtf speed and his WTA will help him not die. Levin and Ayra are there in case he needs help. This is the best part of the game to train Dew. In addition, the entire enemy force are pirates. Meaning...

Every. Single. One. Every single one of those buffoons has 5000 gold. Yes, this is Dew's playground. He's going to keep his stuff, and fill his gold to the max. He has another money dump to make this chapter.

Meanwhile, Briggid is kicking ass. She's a really good unit, and she's only level 12!

At the start of the next turn. Wouldn't you be pissed if someone asked if you're done praying and they started nagging you?

Yes! He says that it's Langbart that killed the prince and Reptor was the one behind the assassination.

Holy weapon! I'll talk about the Valkyrie staff later.

That's pretty hilarious.

Yep, Aum. That's basically it.

It even has preference.

And now we get Tiltyu and Claud!

This is Brigid. She's awesome. Look at those damn base stats! Jesus Christ! She can hold her own very well, and she has Major Ulir Blood, meaning that she has a luck growth off the charts (not the most helpful, but whatever.) Her growths are eh, but that's not important except for determining Father utility.

She also has "Pursuit." What I mean by the quotations is that her pursuit is the class skill of snipers, so in reality she has no personal skills to pass down. Meaning that the skills of her children are determined purely by her husband.

This is Claud. He's okay, I mean that res is great, and so is the magic, but everything else is mediocre. Just compare him to Aideen!

Come back to me when Aideen's children have no skills at all. Claud's not meant to be a fighter like Aideen, but staffbot4life. Of course, Aideen's ludicrous magic means that she can hold her own in combat.

Yay? Tiltyu is the Est type character for the first generation. Except she isn't so spectacular. Her bases are pretty good. Her magic growth isn't so hot, however, and her holy blood boosts skill. Her speed growth isn't bad though. More importantly is that she can use the third tier thunder spell, Thoron. Thoron is really good because of its 20 might, offsetting Tiltyu's mediocre magic. The thing that sells her, however, is that I can promote her. Azel promotes to Mage knight, Tiltyu promotes to Mage Hero (and that class has 6 move.). Too bad she can't use anything but thunder magic for now.

One skill. It isn't pursuit. It's fricking wrath. It's one of the only things that sell her. Once she dips below 50% hp, she'll crit no matter what as long as the RNG says she hits. Now, remember vantage is the same, but instead it attacks first. If that unit has vantage and wrath: hehehehehe! When that unit dips below 50%, they'll go first and crit. That's why some choose to pair Lex and Tiltyu, for that broken combination. That pairing though has bad stats, and I need as many units as I can that'll remain usable for the longest time. So I elect to pair her with Azel, who's Fala blood will fix her bad magic.

Here's Gerrard Jr. Obligatory Axes kill AS, etc. The leg ring boosts movement by three to whoever's holding it. I'm going to want that. A lot. It's going to be key to many strategies I have planned.

Guess which unit is so damn weak he could use a power ring? Guess who? It'll rhyme with who!

Levin's level 20! He can now promote! I don't do that until the end of the chapter though.

I want Briggid to run, but at the same time, I want her to kill a dude or two for Exp (and so that later on the strat will be easier: you'll see what I mean.)

Briggid's absurd bases at work.

Meanwhile, Tiltyu wraths a pirate.

This'll take a while, won't it? I won't cover the basics of what's happening here because it's just slogging through a chokepoint.

Briggid's got the moves.

Briggid'll snipe the rest over the cliff. Well the 2 range ones at least.

Dew wants money, so he uses some more light sword chipping to get it.

What do you think resulted of this?

Tiltyu thowraths another pirate.

This is fortify. I believe it casts a heal over everyone in 10 squares. I heal up because that pirate is in range of Tiltyu and I don't want her to die.

I do this pretty much every turn, so I'll get back here when things are more interesting.

I find it funny that this is the only pirate that'll attack the village. All the rest will go after Briggid.

Oh yeah, Lachesis arrived and provides evade to Dew.

Tiltyu actually dodged that pirate, so she finishes him off now.

Now I get to explain my plan. Another chokepoint. Briggid will hold the neck of the sand bridge and Tiltyu will stay behind. Claud will heal when required. This spot requires more strategy since the pirates can walk on water and attack Tiltyu.

Syl or somebody got hit so Ayra took this Ayr-ea so that they won't think of it again.

We're ready to rock and roll.

The myrms can actually hit Briggid, so we take care of them now.

Tiltyu megachips this myrm because she has nothing else to do.

We heal Briggid Fortify.

One of the pirates walked on the water and hit Tiltyu. She wraths this myrm. I'm stupid guys.

Briggid takes care of this guy.

What's the problem?

...That's right, both of the pirates-should-be able to attack Tiltyu. I'm not sure if she dodged or if I reset.

Either way, I'm going to die fighting.

This buffoon stood next to Ayra without attacking. Levin takes care of him.

Perfect. I didn't die. Now I can actually think. Those myrmidons are saving my life right now. As long as the bottom one holds that position, no pirate can attack Tiltyu except for the one to the right of it. Which Briggid can take care of.

At the same time, I can wrath this buffoon north of Briggid, and let it happen over and over.

That's a fantastic hitrate. I got bored, so I turned them on.

This is the pirate before Pizarl. I want to get the leg ring to Ayra, but this pirate was in the way. Believe it or not, I spent a long time deciding whether I should feed the kill to Holyn's silver sword or Ardan's Brave axe. I really did. In the end I did the Silver sword because I doubt the Brave Axe will get 50 kills ever.

Oh my god, look at me! Look at me tremble!

Your leg ring will be the one thing that made you unique.

FRIGGIN AYRA!

Hell yeah!

Yeah those guys are done. I'll end it here.

Next time: Dew gets manly.

[momogeek2141]

[spoiler=Chapter 3 cleanup]

Money for Est!

Lol, this is Queen Elincia's predecessor.

More importantly, Aideen talks with her Sister.

Yep, they sure are siblings. I think the only thing differentiating them are the different hairstyles.

Wait, when the hell was Jungby near the sea? This makes no sense!

BOW! New bow!

Yay! Happy ending! (kinda)

Holy...Oh HELL YES!

Briggid's like "I don't care about that, tell me about yourself!"

THE GOLDEN LIGHT ENVELOPS BRIGGID!

Before we get our first legendary weapon in the game! Yes!

To be honest, the Ichival is the worst of the holy weapons. It provides +10 Strength and Speed (in this game Holy weapons are broken) as well as having 30 might and giving the useless renewal skill. However, its 13 weight offsets the 10 speed bonus, leading to a net gain of -3 AS, the same as the killer bow. WHY? In addition it has bad hit, at 70. WHY? Don't get me wrong, it's a good weapon, but it is definitely the worst.

After seizing Silvail, Ethlin can talk to Cuan to get the legendary Gae Bolg. It's pretty good with +10 str skill def bonuses along with 30 mt, but it has 15 weight to balance it. It's only good in gen 2.

Warp Tiltyu to Madino

Money dump! Whee! This is what Dew did with his gold. Don't worry, he still has a supply from Lachesis and he can sell his stuff too.

Dew's level 20, he doesn't need Paragon. Tiltyu buys it. She then abuses wrath to clear it completely.

Brigid. She also clears the arena.

I couldn't beat this dude with steel, so I burned a few uses to beat him. I like the flash of light before legendary weapons, it gives the "Aw snap you're going to die" feeling.

Syl finally buys this thing. It gives her canto, so that she isn't completely vulnerable after dances.

Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure Dew money dumped Syl for her ring, so he has to get more. Basically Dew will chip for money and Tiltyu will finish them off.

I'll save you the details.

If you couldn't guess correctly, Dew wants that power ring. I have Lach support him (I really don't regret doing this pairing, it helps in so many ways.)

I find it funny that the bosses have less money than the generic pirates.

So yeah, Tiltyu can weaken him this far

So that Dew can kill him. So much progress from before. Not as much as SWAGDAN but still so much.

Dew'll keep it until the end of the gen before selling it to Sigurd.

This is Lach's return staff. This actually reminds me of the chapter 7 situation. I'll update the OP about that, but I'm going to try first to have Nanna return Fin and Leaf and then Return ring herself. See how many enemies spawn before it stops.

Anyways, she returns Levin home.

LEVIN TO SPOUSE! YEAH!

He promotes to Sage. Hell yes.

Capped speed, great magic, Levin is looking really good right now. He can now use that Restore staff I got for him before, as well as all "El" weapons. Of course, the only other one there is lolElfire, so I'm not going to bother with that.

Oh yeah, if you had trouble with Papillion for some reason this weapon will help you out.

Dew, I highly doubt it's a good idea to rob a holy tower.

Didn't you say you're going to be done thieving back in chapter 1?

Dew? RUN. I need you on my team.

DEW. RUN. I NEED YOU ON MY TEAM.

DEW. RUN. I NEED YOU ON MY TEAM.

Thank you.

Dew owns blaggi tower now. We get the wind sword, it casts Elwind. It's okay.

Aideen was stalking Dew, so she warps him back.

Sweet, we get a Sothe!

...He looks like a girl.

However, now his stats aren't half bad! He can at least hurt his opponents now. The biggest gain though...

IS PURSUIT! HOORAY!

Whatever.

I think this could have been cleared faster, but who cares?

Can we rob their treasures?

What? WHY? REBELS? How dare you!

And then Reptor says Langbart kills the prince. What an idiot.

...aha. Aha. AHA. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

HOLY SHIT THAT'S A LOT OF ENEMIES! I DON'T THINK AYRA CAN SOLO THIS FORCE FOLKS!

Yeah, I don't know either.

I actually feel really bad for Sigurd.

...MAAAAAAANNNNNNNFLOOOOOYYYYYYY!

Wait, isn't that where Levin's from?

Well, we're done with this! And there may be hope yet! What can possibly go wrong in Silesia?

Next time: Something goes wrong in Silesia.

Stats:

Capped magic!

She has a 30% growth. In four levels she procced strength twice. Jesus.

[Ansem]

Azel x Bench

[lonelyVoxel]

I like this! I'm using Snes9X for my run, but the screenshots are at the normal size. How are you taking the screenshots? I'm using the screenshot hotkey and the images are this size.

[momogeek2141]

I like this! I'm using Snes9X for my run, but the screenshots are at the normal size. How are you taking the screenshots? I'm using the screenshot hotkey and the images are this size.

First things first: thanks!

Second: I don't friggin know, man. I'm using the capture button (I changed it to c for convenience, lol) but my image size is like twice of this. I don't know why. I'll PM you about some possible settings that may screw it up.

Just another progress report, chapter 4 is done with less images than 3. I'll update whenever possible, etc.

[momogeek2141]

Let's do this! This is a pretty good chapter IMO, although mountains and forests make everything annoying.

[spoiler=Fast units? WHY?(Chapter 4 prep)]

Yay, peg knights. This is the obligatory peg knight country in this game.

Yeah, I know, finally! Peace for once!

Sorry, Azmur ain't getting any letters any time soon. I appreciate the support though.

Thank her by saving her life.

Oh good! HOPEFULLY IT ISN'T DEIRDRE.

Dammit Alvis!

I feel like this is the perfect place to spoiler that he will see her, but not in the way he expects.

God, fine. I'll deal with that buffoon.

Nah, we can handle them fine. We got Ayra, Briggid, and Levin, who else do we need?

I find it funny that Levin's mother has black hair, whereas he has green hair.

Levin you're an idiot. But you're still awesome.

Levin tries hard to get his mother to forgive him. I don't blame him.

Aren't you two loving each other? Why wouldn't she?

No Mahnya, tell him all you want, they're lovers. Go ahead, spread the gossip!

Ok. Thanks for the help in chapter 2!

Thanks for the help in chapter 1!

Thanks for making me almost reset!

There goes our three mounted units.

Wait, wind mages! Dangit, those guys actually have speed!

Screw you.

Oh boy! Pegasus knights! MORE FAST UNITS!

Let's roll.

Screw your unlimited sleep staff.

Prayer, damn. She'll dodge more when her hp goes below 10. If she gets to 1, however,

Adept is the class skill of Falcoknights. Nice skill.

Third tier wind magic! Joy! He's going to be somewhat of a pain to fight.

First things first, Tiltyu clears the arena and can now promote!

Mage Hero! Lookin' sharp Tiltyu!

Hell, those stats aren't half bad! I'm liking the Speed.

She gets adept, as the class skill of Mage Heroes. Nowhere as useful as pursuit.

This is the wrong screenshot, she sells Paragon after repairing her weapons and buying a Wind tome. Yes, it could have gone to Azel, but...

Azel x Bench

This is a pretty accurate description of Azel's contributions. Is this the first time that an SF LP has used a quote from someone else?

Yay, Sigurd can buy it!

The last one in the arena is this guy. I think this was an attempt at screenshotting Ardan's greatshield. It's nice to have it on our side for once.

Levin buys this, and is broke at the end of chapter four. So is Aideen and Claud.

Tiltyu buys the magic ring, It'll come in handy. She can pass it down too.

Finally, this one is for Noish. He's going to join us today as Briggid's buddy. He'll pass down the Wind sword to her child.

Okay!

Next time: Fast guys are annoying to hit. Pirates on the other side of the map are annoying to reach.

Eh, why the hell not?

[spoiler=Killin' stuff and moving fast, and odd formations.]

This screenshot is a lie, I actually change it up and have them talk after a dance. But w/e.

Will you ask him to be your husband and make my life easy Tiltyu?

What does following Claud have to do with being Reptor's daughter? Stupid Tiltyu!

Azel is better at giving advice than fighting.

IF YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE, I SWEAR TO GOD. Although, Tiltyu's never been a problem pairingwise. The hard ones are Aideen, Sylvia, Levin, and Briggid.

And she gets +5 hp from this conversation! Thanks Azel!

So I lied, this actually happens, then I do the talk. Notice Ayra's being way ahead of the rest. Leg ring, ladies and gentlemen.

Turn one formation is a mess. Although Briggid's no problem, she's surrounded by Noish and 3 other paired people, so Jealousy can't happen (I hope/think)

Okay sleeping douchebag.

You're a bishop though!

Pamela, why do you look exactly the same as Deetva? Anyways, she knows what she's talking about.

Andre, Andre...Isn't he Briggid's brother?

NOT!

Rage range. Levin will have fun with that Silence staff.

The plan is for Levin to silence Cuvuli, then he and Ayra take the brunt of the enemy. After, the others finish them off and Ayra goes village saving. Meanwhile, Holyn will save this here village.

Hi! Go shoot yourself!

Where's your sleep staff now, huh?!

Bye!

Let's do this thing. I really like the U-shaped formation on the bottom.

Levin starts by taking some names.

Ayra got hit, but it's not a big deal. Let's save another village!

Aideen finally breaks out that Physic staff from chapter 2. She'll spam it all chapter, leaving Claud with nothing to do. I don't want to waste Fortify unless more than one unit needs healing.

SWAGDAN!

This is my favorite frame in the animation.

Jesus christ, even Jamka's having problems with them!

Next time I should just have everyone attack and use one fortify.

Oh yeah, that pirate died, and Holyn is way behind the others.

I love wind magic.

The "normally benched" duo strikes again!

Levin couldn't kill this guy, so "Killed"ya! (aha, aha, ahahah *shot*) kills him.

Last wind mage.

More physic usage. She rammed her level cap too.

I did this for lolz, because he stood right next to this guy and Tiltyu.

In reality, Briggid killed him.

Deetva's screwed because 2 SNIPERS MAN!

Huge line formation!

Deetva, you're going down!

Oh never mind, I completely neglected Holyn. Deetva will give him some time to catch up.

Half of them go for Dew, the other half go for Levin. You're an idiot, why didn't you use your lance? FE4 AI these days...

Sometimes they die, usually they don't.

Ok, that's great. Can you die now?

Yeah no.

I...am not sure if the damage Levin took are from the generics or Deetva.

Well, that doesn't matter. Let's kill some peg knights!

DAMMIT ARDAN WHY YOU MISS TWICE!

Hey guys, I've got a great idea! Let's waste more physics and go completely broke!

Haha. HAHA. AHAHAHAHAHAHAH no.

They all have shaky hitrates on her, so I'm left with no choice.

Note: Prayer activated and she actually dodged a 100. But then she couldn't survive the pursuit brave attack.

Nothing.

Sweet, sweet overkill. I'm not stupid though, and use steel bow instead.

Poor Holyn, always left in the dust...

Wastage! Idiocy! Stupidity!

Dew's going to hit the village, Ayra's got to save the one near Thove.

Screw you and your blizzard tome. Funfact: Blizzard reduces your move to zero.

Ayra prepares to attack and Dew attacks this pirate.

This is how we end turn. Jamka and Lachesis are going for the southern village (WHICH I REALIZE I DIDN'T EVEN VISIT IN THE END! CRAP!) while the others are preparing to attack Thove. Next turn, the myrmidons guarding the bridge to the far away village attack and...

Actually I'll save that for next time. Stay tuned!

[momogeek2141]

[spoiler=Seizing the traitor and his castle]

The myrms guarding that bridge attack Ayra. It ends predictably.

Hey screw you buddy.

Village=saved.

We kill this guy now. See ya!

Why am I so dumb? I wasted pretty much that entire physic staff on this castle alone.

Lach and Jamka are one turn from the village.

Blizzard's range for the douchebag. The others have it too. I better be careful.

Being careful apparently means "charging headlong into battle." Once that village is saved, Ayra'll be able to take out the Mage Hero (god I love Leg ring Ayra.)

Yay!

And now he's dead.

Can you notice something

...That's right! Holyn finally caught up to the group!

Oh come on! We don't even have a bridge key!

Yeah, good luck hitting her.

Wow, they have a better chance of hitting Mr. capped speed. Although, that could be the road.

Nice!

At first I thought that Ardan couldn't take more than one hit, so I put him there.

And then I realized hat I can't math.

DIE! If you're wondering about the low damage, well...

Don't ask why IS armed him with a slim sword.

Second Blizzard idiot.

End turn formation.

Ouch! Screw wind magic!

What? I put him outside of blizzard range! And that guy attacked Ayra anyways!

Oh goddammit!

Go shoot yourself.

Finally! I'm smart guys!

Okay nevermind, I'm dumb.

I put Levin here to take care of a few armors.

He kills this one and leaves another alive. And then I begin stalling for love. I want my pairings to be done so that it's one thing off my mind.

Brigid right now...

Tiltyu right now...

Azel too...

DAMMIT AIDEEN!

Oh, ok, this is Claud. I think it'll work, folks.

Eventually...

Yes! I think they look good together.

Aideen, why did you always make me worry about you?! Anyways, the Blonde healers hooked up.

Sadly Briggid doesn't pair, but at least she's at this stage.

Also, I'm sorry once again, but I forgot to store Noish's weapons. Fortunately he wasn't attacked at all.

We're ready.

Tiltyu can kill pretty well now!

Like seriously, she activated adept 3 times in a row! You don't have pursuit woman! Stop it!

Next turn, Dew waits at the space where the bridge used to be. And then this happens.

Let's kill stuff!

Aw, you couldn't kill him!

Oh well.

She can't kill him normally, okay? I want them all dead!

I hate Elwind so much. Unless it's on my side, of course!

Now, Lach and Aideen are going to play "Send everybody home."

Levin deserves to defeat his uncle, no?

Levin, that's so generic! STOP IT!

...Wow. An adept left him with that much HP.

And then he dies via dance.

YEAH!

YEAH!

YEAH! So entertaining!

And we're done finally!

Sigurd gets a few towns for money.

Ardan sells pursuit to Tiltyu. And then I can't math again and I don't have enough money.

AZEL DID SOMETHING USEFUL GUYS!

Azel visits this village. I honestly didn't care who it went to, so I picked the scrub.

Guess who it is?

IT'S WEAPON TRIANGLE MAN! How's it going? I haven't seen you since the prologue!

Too bad light magic is Ass.

NOW I buy pursuit.

Let's go.

Guys, I don't believe it. Actually intelligent people!

Did I mention that Sigurd is a great guy?

Levin would be upset if she died, bro, of course!

And then we return him.

As we go out, I'd like you to compare Jamka and Briggid. And realize that Jamka is 5 levels higher.

...Yeah.

[Ansem]

I think your Briggid is blessed, that strength

Also you inspired me to do my own variation of a mountless run. I'm playing FE4RM though, so characters could dismount. The only mounts I am using are Sigurd and Finn, but they are dismounted most of the time.
