RANDOMIZER Klok Plays: THE ADVENTURES OF THE BOULDER AND CAPTAIN PHANTOM

[Klokinator]

Mini update and new poll is up!


The Lazy Goddess absolutely wrecks the first floor of the tower, even at only level 13. That one Entombed is still a monster and a half, but with Fado as backup, he just served as an EXP slurpee.




Not bad! One of the top tiers, for sure.


So, what class should she promote to?

Obviously, General only has 4 movement. However, the far better caps AND promoion bonuses and great shield means she might be better in the final chapters, even if she's a slow lumbering mammoth. As well, we already have SEth on Great Knight duty. I say I should make her a General and give her the boots when they appear!

I'm leaning towards General, but what are your guys thoughts? Vote in the poll above!

Oh, also these two got some shitty levels as well. :/

She should be a BOMBAD general (+50 points if you get that)

[Klokinator]

I guess I'm sitting at -50 points :(

[Blaze The Great]

I guess I'm sitting at -50 points :(

I suppose I can forgive you because that was a line involving Jar Jar.

[Sadisticorc]

Agreed, General is probably the better option.

[Nintales]

From what I've seen in your playthroughs, the game randomized seems to prefer tanky units.

A few units have good HP growths, and therefore will get destroyed if their HP base is bad. That's why if your unit has 30 defense, she won't be annoyed by bad HP base.

Speed Min-maxer are also less useful because most units will have good and capped speed later on. That will only be not to get doubled, and you'll just get to be hurt by the weapon if you have capped def.

So, the best min-maxers seem to be Str-Def-Res. Add HP to that, and you've got your tanky unit for the game.

Balanced unit with good hp growths are better though.

You'll also like to have a chosen Res Tank and a Def Tank.

Your units are really good though, so you won't need a thing, I guess.

Even THE BOULDER will look great in the end.

[Shinehollow]

I agree with General.Plus,both GK and General can use swords,axes and lances,so you aren't missing out there.

[Person123]

General of course. Gogo boots.

[Klokinator]

Another micro update, next full update is coming soon.

[spoiler=SETH AND THE QUEST FOR SAXES]

Seth is currently about to S rank Lances. That would be fine, except the Lazy Pink Goddess is also close to S ranking lances. I also have Tethys on sword duty, so...

LET'S DO DIS

TIME TO GET SOME SAXES

First tower floor, only one level up, already gotten to BAXES. (That is, back taxes)

Next floor tower, two levels, got some A-AXES eventually (That's when you try to say 'axes' but stutter like a retard) and also a Battle Axe. Neat!

Third floor, enemies stop fucking around and bring their slayer weaponry A-game! But Seth also brings his A-game for a devastating level!

Third floor, enemies stop fucking around and bring their- oh wait, I said this already. SO MANY SLAYER WEAPONS ON FLOOR THREE!

Aaaand we're done! Next update: CAPTAIN PHANTOM'S ORIGINAL BIRTHPLACE! THE UNDEAD SHIP OF DOOOOOOOOOM!

Seth's SKL sucks. Axes are probably his worst weapon because of teh hitrates, lol!

Edited July 31, 2015 by Klokinator

[Klokinator]

Legit update.

Welcome back once again to... chapter 11: THE UNDEAD SHIP OF DOOOOOOOOOM!

Also, this is a failed run.

[spoiler=Chapter 11 Part 1]

Seth uses up that skill book, because his SKL really does suck quite a bit. Anyway, I can get unlimited of these in the first floor of the ruins, with a hint of RNG abuse.


Many people complain about fog on this chapter, but it's never really given me any trouble. You can buy all the torch staves you want.


My first action though is to have Vanessa rescue Captain Shitlord. Get it? It's because he's a SHITTY LORD.


First turn, this happens.


OH GOD PLEASE NO


There are two of these Entombed here, and they do not fuck around.


But even they don't hold a candle to this piece of shit.


Aaaanyway, I restarted and tried a new tactic. Summoning CAPTAIN PHANTOM is always a genius way to foil my foes!


The phalanx formation has never failed me on this chapter!


Gotta love how my Great Knight has enough RES to shrug off all magic user attacks!


In all honesty, this chapter has NEVER given me any problems. I find it to be quite easy.


Curses!





CAPTAIN PHANTOM is always a useful decoy!


Natasha is still useless. I'm gonna have to tower abuse her after this chapter so she can become a class with actual MOV stats. I'm leaning towards... swordmaster?


Lazy Goddess and Fade Out pretty much wipe the floor with their foes.


...k.


Thanks, BOULDER!


Damn, that damage HURTS!


ALL RIGHT! NEW UNITS! TIME TO GET SOME BADASS- wait, is that a knight in the cutscene?


You've gotta be kidding me. These stats wouldn't be acceptable in chapter THREE!


Pretty alright! Plus, an alternate bow user is always nice! Growths will make or break him of course, but I'm holding out hope.


Tethys activates Silencer. 3.3% chance, right there.


Natasha is so worthless in battle at movement wise that I decide, fuck it. I'll just use her as a torch bot. But wait, is that... an enemy swordmaster???


Hahahahaha it is!!! And with a droppable brave sword. OooooooooOOoOoOOoOOh...


Flute and Cornmug see his entourage out.


Even with Luna and doubles, still can't quite kill the Entombed with THE BOULDER! Oh well.


See, this is where I realize the issue with this chapter. I don't really care about recruiting Eirika, but I do want Gilliam. If Eirika dies, however, then I also can't recruit Gilliam. And since Eirika is pathetically weak, I have to restart if she dies. And even with me moving Fado right here, I can't get to her in time to kill off flying nemies.

And thusly, she dies.

So yeah, gonna have to level her to 10, not that I'm planning to use her, just so I can recruit Gilliam. Ugh.

Back next time!

[Nintales]

Since when is Syrene Vanessa?

Oh boy these promoted.

Every time you'll encounter one you'll say "WHY" and curse the game because of their awesome stats. Get ready for capped everything enemies by chapter 15, I guess!

And yes, Eirika sucks. But hey, I don't think any of L'Arachel's replacement besides a Manakete could have survived that.

Gilliam looks okay. If his growths are good, he can be a decent Nidhogg user for you.

Though his growths are probably not going to hold on. His base growths are not that great...

If you get Myrrh you'll get the best Est ever in the game. Her growths are awesome. Even if her base stats are not so much, randomized everything superior to 100% = most of her growths hyper high. (except if you get the legendary 255% Skill, 255% Luck and 255% Res)

[Darrman]

Well, if there's one thing Eirika's gonna be useful for, it's that White Gem of free money! I hope grinding Seth's axe rank was worth it.

[Klokinator]

Now for the EPIK KONKLUSION OF THE GHOST SHIP!

[spoiler=Not really that epic]

Typical BOULDER level.


WTF? Did your stats even improve??? I GAVE YOU 9 AUTOLEVELS.

I bet her growths suck ass.


Now that's more like it!


Klok teaches: How to poorly screenshot a fight. Basically she actually survived the enemy onslaught. No idea how.


Remember that star wars movie, Assault on Tethys? She still survived with 2 HP.


That moment when I suddenly remember the dragonstone is effective VS monsters.



>Syrene/10


After these two die, I spend the rest of the chapter regretting fielding them, and also having my promoted units be encumbered -n- shit.


Sigh.


Ephraim has 17 RES. He pretty much mops the floor with these godforsaken eyeballs.


This is right after a gargoyle left him SHOT THROUGH THE HEART, AND YOU'RE TO BLAAAME


mfw all eyes on Ephraim.
S-senpai... don't look at me like that...


Even an underwhelming level for THE BOULDER is an awesome level for CAPTAIN PHANTOM! Never forget this.


Aaaand no more 1 HP!


Goddamnit, this sumbitch crit me 1 second later. Piss off!


Remember, she has a 100%+ growth in STR. That makes this a no-stat levelup.


Brave sword, get!


New recruits, get!


Semi-shitty level, get!


Virtue and love, ge- OKAY I'LL STOP.


Next level is filled with unpromoted enemies? Piece of ca-


HOLY SHIT

[spoiler=She sucks. Yep.]


Growths:
HP: 100%
STR: 95%
SKL: 90%
SPD: 0%
LUK: 0%
DEF: 45%
RES: 65%
Komments: Goddamnit. Another useless knight. #RenameRunToKnightEmblem
Klok Rates: 2/10. Would actually rate higher if she was gained earlier in the game, but after getting like 12 other knights, she's useless. Availability is a thing.


Growths:
HP: 70%
STR: 15%
SKL: 5%
SPD: 40%
LUK: 65%
DEF: 0%
RES: 130%
Komments: I want to cry right now. To give me a unit with such potential... and then rip it away... HOW UTTERLY CRUEL OF YOU!
Klok Rates: 4/10. I mean, he's alright, but he won't cap much and in the end he's pretty useless.

Edited July 31, 2015 by Klokinator

[Sadisticorc]

I have such bad luck with those damn gargoyles. Critted Knoll twice in two seperate chapters, one with a 2% and one with a 9% >.>

Place all bets on when Klok will get an actually good monster next here

[Klokinator]

Place all bets on when Klok will get an actually good monster next here

But corc, I already HAD a good monster!

[Nintales]

Yeah, but you killed her because you couldn't get over that abomination living.

At least Syrene is competent. 26/22 of defensive caps is bro, and with Dragonstone, that goes for 41/42.

Sad it is not possible to repair it. Maybe you should let the possibility of hammern'ing the Dragonstone. :D

Eirika can be a decent Str/Res/Def min-maxer... But when you get Lazy Goddess near to her, she's pathetic.

[Crusticus]

I'm pretty sure if notL'arachel dies, notDozla will still join you in the end. That's how it was in my run when she got replaced with DOG CITY Franz who died almost immediately. I was worried about not having him too since he looked like he had a lot of potential. Funny thing is that my Dozla was swapped w/ Gilliam too. I never checked his growths but he turned out decent enough. I'll never know if Franz was any good because I restarted for like an hour before I gave up on attempts of rescuing him.

Are you sure it wasn't Franz that got to be the Not!Dozla?

[Sadisticorc]

Well I meant the NEXT good monster unit, mostly because i was super dissapointed in Gilliam >.>

Plus Manakete is an obtainable unit in FE8 so there's that.

(Also call me Orc for short, thanks :P)

[Klokinator]

Sad it is not possible to repair it.

Come on, surely you've heard of the gorgon egg repair glitch!

In FE8CM, yeah they will be repairable with hammerne's. That, or they will be common drops on the 7th floor of the Ruins. Or both, meh. Considering monster weapons will already be on par with current level dragonstones, maybe making them unlimited uses would be a good idea?

Alright, now for CHAPTER 12 PART ONE: ANOTHER FAILED RUN.

[spoiler=NO MORE FUCKING AROUND]

So first, here's all my main peeps.

Not bad, right? Syrene is gonna be ditched soon, yeah. Ephraim needs a little grinding. Etc. Otherwise, I am 100% superior to the weakling enemies, right?

Wroooong! These enemies are insane. Absolutely insane. I can't believe the randomizer can make hack difficulty on par with FE7CM! (Although FE7CM had better level scaling and didn't require any grinding, so um there's that)

What's hilarious is that LOLtastic Fighter STR though. That's amazing.

Problem: The boss has a Hoplon guard but has 28 speed and I have no units capable of stealing it since you fuckers told me to make my only viable thieving candidate AN ASSASSIN!

Solution: None!

Welp. That's a new unit, alright. I can only hope the growths hold out because... I don't really need another crappy monster unit.

Yeah honestly, my men are evenly matched against yours. You might have slightly weaker units, but they make up for it in charisma, numbers, and most importantly-...!

HAHAHAHAHA

Okay, GREAT job, Lute. This guy hits her again after this. Her SPD is abysmal and coupled with awful defenses, she gets raked over the coals by physical enemies.

Look who became a Hellhound!

No reason to be scared, it's just the Wet Paper brigade!

Haha, get it? It's because they die as easily as one would rip... a wet... piece of paper... okay it was funnier in my head.

Ephraim just had to put on his bitch-slapper-axe.

This looks easy.

FUCK

I'll just move him two spaces back, no sweat.

Bu LOL, at least Saleh can deal a little damage to these guys.

3 RES? Wow, that's pretty awful. The rest of your stats are also awful.

Yikes, that could have hurt.

OW WTF I MOVED TWO SPACES BACK! Damn blue waffler.

Ayyy lmao.

The magic of Great Shield!

This could hurt if it deals enough damage to Seth.

Or not!

I know you don't, but I do.

Part two will be up eventually.

I vote that all of Klok's benched units henceforth be called the wet paper brigade.

Yayyyyyy more hype, and dude you have some bad luck when it comes to surviving

[Nintales]

Nope, didn't hear about that glitch.

I don't think Franz's growths will be good, sadly. His vanilla growths are pretty meh.

If you need some testers for an insane challenge in FE8 Chaos Mode to prove the insanity everything is in order, I'm still okay for some run like 0% again. :D

You'll need some Jugdral power against Riev. Gwyllgi's (what's with that name) caps are scary. 30 SPEED. That will double anyone not called Tethys. Add to that 24 str of cap, and 22/23 of durability.

At least you can circle Caellach to kill him. But Riev is going to wreck your team. I advise you to use warp shenanigans.

I also think you should pimp a monster from wimp to pal because Dragonstone's utility in chapter 19/20 is gonna be a lifesaver for you.

I don't even know how you're going to handle the BS dragons with Decaying Breath.

Edited August 1, 2015 by Nintales

[Klokinator]

What good are Riev's stats when I have an uber bishop and a dragonstone? TINK TINK TINK DED.

In the meantime, need more polls!

What should I make this guy when he's ready to promote? Not gonna promote him just yet, but SOON I will!

Doesn't seem like much of a contest to me. I wanted to make him a Warrior but once again, only 4 movement! Hero seems the superior choice with 6.

And her?

Welp, same deal. I wanted to make her a swordmaster but... dat 4 movement >.>

V-vote in the poll, I guess.

[DizzyWaddleDoo]

Caellach isn't this chapter's boss. He leaves and gets replaced by a generic monster after a few turns, so that he can come back in chapter 15.
