Eclipsd Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Everyone says archers are bad. I would agree with them. So, lets play FE8 with possibly the worst class in the game! [spoiler=Rules] Difficult mode because FE8 has the tower of grinding You get to decide which route I take (Please not Ephraim...) I'm doing Ephraim's route because the people have spoken. Only the twins (Eirika and Ephraim) and bow using classes may be used. Moulder, Natasha, Tethys, and Colm may be used. Any class that is not naturally bow locked (Warriors, Rangers, etc.) Can only use bows. The poll decided I get to not have this be a thing! I can only use archers. Savestates will be used. Tower and Arena abuse is a thing. Now that that's sorted, let's start this thing! [spoiler=Prologue] As said before, I'm playing Difficult mode. Plot. Nothing's changed here. Gimme that sword and get the hell out of dodge. Today is the day a little girl will face multiple grown men in fisticuffs and emerge victorious. As seen here (Yes that was a crit. On my first attack. Luck seems to be with this run.) Now to get the boss off that forest of his. TACTICS! Prologue Bosses: Getting beaten by little girls since FE7. Now that's how you don't get a 4-Stat Level Up, folks. Prologue is as easy as ever. See you next time on LITTLE GIRL SOLO: THE RUN ARCHER EMBLEM! Edited October 3, 2015 by Eclipsd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsd Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) Upon looking at the character lists, I came across a bit of a predicament. [spoiler=List of Playable Characters With My Ruleset] Eirika Ephraim Neimi Garcia Ross Gerik Moulder Natasha Colm Innes I've already decided I'm gonna tower grind up the ones that need to be promoted before they use bows. But what level should I grind them to? Will make a poll with options. Poll's up! Vote for how screwed you want me to be!

Happiest Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Wow. Good luck with that. You are going to need it. As I want to see you doing everything with da best weapon, do both routes and train everybody to level 20. If it's possible to complete the game only with magic users, why not with archers? Oh, wait. It's because they are a pain to train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowflare Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I would love to see someone beat the entire game with just the lords and the two base archers, and maybe a thief on the maps where you need one. Just saying. Anyways, good luck, cause you'll definitely need it, especially if the poll has it's way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tequila Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 How about you don't have to grind the non-bow users till promotion (ie you can have them use axes/swords until promotion, but you can't use the tower/arena)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because they are a pain to train. It seems like I'm not going to do both routes, the way the votes are going. Archers aren't that bad, honestly. Not having the ability to use a tank (ie gilliam) will definitely hurt early on though. I would love to see someone beat the entire game with just the lords and the two base archers, and maybe a thief on the maps where you need one. Just saying. Anyways, good luck, cause you'll definitely need it, especially if the poll has it's way. Thanks. It seems luck is on my side for now. All I need is a blessed Neimi and Eirika and Innes and Ephraim. How about you don't have to grind the non-bow users till promotion (ie you can have them use axes/swords until promotion, but you can't use the tower/arena)? I'll add that to the poll. It seems like a good idea. I'm just going to cry from not being able to arena abuse XD [spoiler=Chapter 1] 100% of the daily recommended amount of plot. This is the little girl we're talking about. She'll be fine. Magnificent rng screwage. How much abuse did he need to get that crit? Sitting on a house for extra avoid: FE tactics. Hello sirs not-appearing-in-this-run! If only I could use the knight... And of course then a fighter decides to engage Seth in fisticuffs. It goes about as well as you expect. I take steps to ensure that doesn't happen again. Strength! Instantly a good level. I start having Eirika use Seth's steel sword to conserve Rapier uses. She stabs people harder now. Even more strength! Would love some speed though. You know, what Eirika is supposed to get? Franz gives Eirika his iron sword and runs away from the little girl. Even her allies are afraid of her. Reinforcements = More food for the little girl. Seth goes and hides in the corner with the rest of the bench crew. I may have been wrong when I said luck was on my side. I need more sacrifices to Anna! You will do nicely. And you gave the little girl a level up! I know I asked for more speed, but... Fort healing and changing settings. Going the long way around to get to the forest. Still got hit... Back to the fort! After killing this defenseless soldier of course. Risky odds. I decide to have Eirika wait. Nothing like a nice critical to kill the boss! And as for the level... Meh. I'll take it. Defense is always good when the little girl is the only one sieging the castle. More like her companions watched in fear as the little girl completely demolished everything. They even gave me a tribute out of fear of the little girl! Don't forget to save kids. Safety first. Updated poll with Tequila's suggestion. Going to wait until tomorrow to see how the votes turn out to play the next chapter. See you all next time on ARCHER EMBLEM!

Squidmark Iggy Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 (I actually wanted to see everyone classchanged into an Archer :V) A bow users run, huh... Taking the ZM route, are we? :P So far, your Eirika isn't doing... bad. Then again, I suppose she's better than Neimi in every single way. Good luck with this Archer-filled run! (Now, if only they were Marchers...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsd Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 (I actually wanted to see everyone classchanged into an Archer :V) Shhh. That's next run. As soon as I get my nightmare skills up to task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cynthia- Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'd let you have Orson so 5x isn't too painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidmark Iggy Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'd let you have Orson so 5x isn't too painful. I can easily do an Ephraim solo of that chpater, what's too painful about it? :V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsd Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) 5x isn't going to be a problem. Late game is, though. Seems like I am going through Phantom Ship with only Ephraim and Neimi for damage. Edited September 27, 2015 by Eclipsd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Changing that poll to my whims is only a few mouse clicks away. . . I'd allow the non-bow classes to level normally, and then promote. . .but they must promote at 10 (or the lowest level possible), and can't gain any more experience once they hit promotion range.

AnonymousSpeed Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'll add that to the poll. It seems like a good idea. I'm just going to cry from not being able to arena abuse XD I...don't, really. It's not Archer Emblem if people are using scrub non-bows until promotion. I'm pretty sure, however, that there's an arena in both routes after recruiting all the potential candidates. Too bad Assassin's can't use bows here, like in Awakening, not only would it give you Joshua and Marisa (er...Joshua), but Colm would get the ability to use non-scrub bows. Shhh. That's next run. As soon as I get my nightmare skills up to task. I shall eagerly await this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good idea. But... THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN: I'M GOING THROUGH EPHRAIM'S ROUTE AND CAN ONLY USE ARCHERS ALONG WITH THE TWINS(and healers and colm)! [spoiler=Chapter 2] He should've sent me some archers instead of this girl on a horse. The mustache man will do fine, though. Hello sirs-no-longer-appearing-in-this-run, you just lost everything you know and love. TO THE BENCH WITH YOU! More plot. The little girl will save the day with some more bandit massacre though. After we rescue his son, Garcia thanks us by stealing our delicious XP. " I don't think the peasants could obtain such a magnificent mustache." Mustache Man continues to collect tributes for his magnificent 'stache. Vanessa goes to pick up the other useless person from this chapter while the little girl makes friends :). Garcia goes over to the archer for some reason and Vanessa goes to rescue him. She then goes to sit on a fort. On the other side of the mountain, the little girl is killing quite nicely. Seth sells a red gem and gets 2 iron swords for the little girl. Vanessa then gets one-shotted by a puny archer, which kills both flying horse and rider in one shot. Was thinking of going back and letting her live, but then I realized she has no more use to me after this chapter. Garcia then makes her death completely useless as he kills the archer she was carrying him away from. Meanwhile, Eirika continues to utterly decimate the bandits she meets. The little girl gets a thoroughly disappointing level up after hearing that the only other girl in the group just died. That, sir, is a little girl armed with a sharp metal stick. Allow her to demonstrate: Thank you, Eirika. Back to murdering things with your new-found skills! This is one heck of a slump the little girl's getting in. I need her to get blessed if I have a chance or Ephraim will have to solo everything! Franz decides he wants to become an axe magnet when he grows up. He's starting strong! The little girl continues to poke things with a stick while Mustache Man uses the Axe Magnet as healing practice. TACTICS! are used to prevent the little boy from being cleaved in half. Moulder gets some last second healing done while Eirika finishes off the last bandit. "It's not like either of you are useful to me" "No, you can't. The voice in my head said I can't let you help me." Thank you Ross. Tell him not to doubt the little girl's decisions, especially when she hasn't wiped the blood off her. Flashbacks and robbery! All the usual during a Fire Emblem game! Never forget to save. Next time we get out first bow user (and second to last)! Probably won't have that chapter done for a while because school. See you all next time on ARCHER EMBLEM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidmark Iggy Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 And this is where I noticed you signed a death wish. Ahem! That Eirika should be a bit more... buff? Maybe? I dunno. You should give her the first Energy Ring if she continues to act like this. As always, keep raining arrows on your enemies, just like any average For Glory Link does! :V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should give her the first Energy Ring if she continues to act like this. As always, keep raining arrows on your enemies, just like any average For Glory Link does! :V I understood that reference Yeah, going to give her a majority of them unless Neimi gets strength screwed. [spoiler=Chapter 3] Selling things for the huge supply of bows I'm going to need eventually. Then we meet some plot and the little girl shows us how naive little children are, even when their poking bad people with sharp metal sticks. We meet our first Archer! And the beginning of a ship... I certainly hope not! You're gonna pretty much solo this chapter! I guess the blood would be warm? Doesn't seem to be a very nice welcome. Getting Colm and having all the people on the bench start practicing their sitting technique. Thief acquired! Starting stats for out first archer please get strength a bunch of times. Prepare to have this happen a bunch this chapter. She's going to pretty much kill everything, while the little girl facetanks. She gets a level out of it which has STRENGTH! Praise Anna! Neimi's first level... doesn't have strength. Axe magnetism is always present, and Neimi then kills the bandit for some of the sweet, sweet EXP. The stache man heals and Neimi goes back to shooting people. Neimi finishes off the bandit, which then invites the archer to attack! She then decides to destroy rng and crit after dodging an arrow! She even gets a level from this! ...Well, I guess that almost had to happen. Her next level finally contains strength! This is pretty much the whole level. Neimi just shoots everything. Mustache heals and gets a meh level. Neimi once again makes me regret doing this and sets sail to a ship. Little girls just don't like to dodge, now do they? ...Or hit people. for that matter. ...Or get strength. The little girls start taking down the boss. Neimi decides now is when she won't miss a shot. The boss then decides to sit on Eirika's stick, And dies from the ensuing stabbing. The little girl sits in the comfy chair and ends the chapter. We then get some more plot to end the chapter. Look both ways before you cross the road, kids. Next episode we get to shoot at giant eyeballs and zombies! See you then on ARCHER EMBLEM!
