Nintales Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) ITT: Ewan either hits himself or enemies at 1 HP. Nah. Flux isn't a Devil Tome, which means I'm still alive. Forde is like Eirika, Innes is trash with his 20% str growth and 8 base. Cormag could become sorta decent, Natasha is just a lol. This could be an entertaining run. Innes can be pretty good though regarding the amount of Eclipse weapons I get. Those can salvage any unit with bad strength. Cormag's HP and skill bases get over his low growths in that domain. Natasha's just hilarious. Time for Chapter 5! [spoiler=The chapter formerly known as ARENA ARENA ARENA] Sigh. Look at these bases. He's not that OP unit I was speaking earlier on (that you didn't give to me), but damn those bases are good. And of course I can't use him. Fuck this. Enemies are already stepping up. His durability is garbage, but remember my units have almost no strength or have devil weapons or eclipse weapons. His offense is actually very threatening to Forde or Natasha, i.e units with no defense. Softening up mobs with Innes so I can distribute xp. Formation at the beginning of turn 2. (for those wondering, the other dancer is Franz, who replaces Natasha and is iirc way better in terms of growths than her) Hitting clutch hits. Seriously, the weapon triangle is a bitch here. No. NO. NO YOU'VE GOTTA BE SHITTING ME THE SLIM LANCE HAS DEVIL REVERSAL TOO FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK ... Please... Why does half of my weapon set is devilish... That'd almost make me believe in Loptous. Oh well, another blank level. What did I expect already? Okay, Innes, bait Saleh. And annihilate this asshole. Saleh FINALLY recruited. ... I don't even know what to say. And Natasha dies. Lives off with 1 HP. HURRAY SNIPING Forde and Cormag making up for their awful level. Btw Heavy Spear totally OP. This weapons weights Cormag down for a fuck-ton, but it's still a great weapon because it's A- Not a devil weapon B- A weapon that has tremendous accuracy and mt C- A weapon that is not likely to be equipped by enemies Nice level ups? At least that makes up for all the Devilish luck I've gotten yet. Finishing the bandits. I need to have all the villages secured. Natasha capped skill. Hurray! Now, what I do : I buy a shitton of vulneraries, and get into the arena. I have no healers, so this is gonna be very tedious, but I need to get Ewan from lv2 to lv20. That's why this chapter took two days for me to actually do it. Just showing some kinda unfair match-ups for the lolz. FINALLY Also, Natasha is close to capping strength lol. Saar is nothing threatening. Luna has shit accuracy and shit damage too. Yup, not a threat at all. You'll also remark there's no death count anymore. The reason is simply because if I took into account all of Ewan's deaths in the arena, we'd still be there tomorrow.

Excellen Browning Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 You should just have gotten Ewan to lvl 10. It's not like he wouldn't cap skl and spd, and his other growths aren't worth a damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintales Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) You should just have gotten Ewan to lvl 10. It's not like he wouldn't cap skl and spd, and his other growths aren't worth a damn. I think he sadly only capped his speed towards lv12-15. He still has an HP growth to proc, and I need literally every durability point I can get before the lategame part. [spoiler=Phantom Balooza (Chapter 5x)] Here is our Ephraim replacement! What are her growths, you may ask? 0% HP 0% Str 80% Skl 85% Spd 100% Luck 5% Def 70% Res The fuck. Talk about a min-maxer here. And here is literally our life-savior for this chapter, Orson the summoner. His growths for the lolz : 10% HP 110% Mag 10% Skill 75% Speed 10% Luck 50% Def 60% Res Sure, give the good growths to these kind of units... Off we go! Luna's accuracy is also garbage btw. First kill, first level up. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? THE FUCKING DRAGONSPEAR IS ANOTHER DEVIL WEAPON AZDHQOZDHQIODHOQIHEOFHUSDFHQZUDQZOQHIOFGZDQDZQFGEDQZ! I need my medicine... And Lute dies yet again... and again... and again... Seems like it's a mission for CAPTAIN PHANTOM Cornering archers! Weakening and killing soldiers! Feeding Lute mobs! Baiting enemies! Showing us new weapons! CAPTAIN PHANTOM! And Lute dying again... I HATE YOU Last Lute level for the chapter. Here is the boss. Can't you notice something wrong with him? No? You can't? None. Of. My. Units. Can. Reliably. Deal. Damage. To. Him. What is my plan then? Here is a small bug I've found in the Randomizer that allows us to summon again even if there's a summon. Don't worry, I probably won't exploit this later on with Ewan. But here, I'm forced. I need to get Orson to lv20 so his summons get stronger and have a chance dealing damage to Zonta. Here is our lv19 Summon (lv20 had the same stats iirc) But guess what???? IT STILL DOESN'T DEAL ANY DAMAGE TO ZONTA FUCK PLAN H H LIKE HARD ASS RIGGING Ruadath, if you ever read this, I'm still wondering how do you have the patience to rig the things you rig while rigging this kind of shit for me is insanely tedious. FUCK YOU And the Luna tome broke for me never to give it to Ewan. Joy. Here is level 20 Orson btw, just for the lolz.

Moblin Major General Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Ouch. Just be glad that Orson doesn't get to enjoy his max level. He might not even be the same class by Ch.16. By the way, what classes were Kyle and Forde? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNight48 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) one day imma make a hack called FE Dangerous Game Nintails Edition -where every weapon is a devil weapon - everyone has 0 luck - the good growths only go to units that betray you - while the usable ones have 0% growth xD Edited May 13, 2016 by MrNight48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintales Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) I dig this playthrough. Good show. Thanks! The thing is that it probably might not end well, to tell you the truth. Expect some possible recruitements to die if it's impossible to recruit them (unless they're forced, in that case I'll just heavily buff their durability sacrificing every other stat), and some farming to be imposed. (simply because when the game spits out promoted units, I need to farm to keep my units on the level) Ouch. Just be glad that Orson doesn't get to enjoy his max level. He might not even be the same class by Ch.16. By the way, what classes were Kyle and Forde? !Kyle was a myrmidon and !Forde a cavalier. one day imma make a hack called FE Dangerous Game Nintails Edition -where every weapon is a devil weapon - everyone has 0 luck - the good growths only go to units that betray you - while the usable ones have 0% growth xD This xD triggers me so much xD The thing is you could have capped at 10/10 or something and throw on an angelic robe, and still end up with mostly the same unit, but without the hassle of grinding him up. I think you just don't get how powerful will each enemy be in the end. I expect them to have nearly every stat capped. At that point, any point of HP is just heavily welcome. Even a 5% defense proc would save me. Imagine if Luna was a Devil weapon, too! So far, each weapon I've encountered is either a Magic Weapon, a Poison Weapon, a Devil Weapon, an Eclipse Weapon or a Reverse Weapon (you'll see that one in the update). It's pretty weird. The only exception is the Iron Axe iirc. Time for not one, not two, but three chapters at once in a two parters! Woo-hoo, Batman! [spoiler=Fog of Resets + Infinite Ballista (6 + 7)] Time to promote Ewan! Summon is OP, there's no reason not to go summoner. ... ... Excepted Ewan can't summon. The fuck. I tried to use all my nightmare skills to make him summon after that point. Nevertheless, it still failed hard. I'm only calm at this because I knew I tried my best and then accepted my fate : This game doesn't want to be cheesed. Crap. This game probably defeated me on the spot. But I won't give up so easily. Promoting him to Druid instead. The low magic sucks, but I feel Eclipse tomes shall redeem him. The formation on turn 1. I don't care about you. None of my units are Archers and iirc I can't use any archer, so goodbye. Here's why the heavy spear is both a great and a shitty weapon. Btw Steel Axe hits resistance for no reason. Those are ones of many. Let's do this! He gets a nice level up from that, regarding his growths. And the Iron Blade is the first reverse weapon. It also has 45 uses and a really nice mt, as you can see, which will make it literally excellent once I can buy it. Here is the awful formation I'm in. Believe me or not, I'll survive this. Gotcha! This dude was a pain. His good defense + reaver combo made it hard for Innes + Forde (the only units able to damage/hit him minus Flux!Ewan) to kill him. But he's worth the pain, since he gives me that swiggity swooty Blade. Stabilized here. Natasha's at safety in her spot, Ewan can heal anyone, and the frontliners are strong enough to survive assaults. Levels up! Both are, needless to say, extremely good regarding the situation I'm in. Phew, safe. Just has to heal Cormag over and over to give Ewan staff exp now. SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKERS That spider just appears of out no effing where. Hopefully she didn't do anything dangerous, but I just don't know what would happen if it was in the middle of the fight when Natasha would have been in its range. Gosh. Clearing the Area! Levels up! Forde and Ewan's disappoint me a little bit, but Cormag's nice and Natasha is just being Natasha. Here is the boss, Novala. To be honest, he's not that of a pain. He's not a threat to Forde at all, and I still have... The Eclipse steel sword. He goes down, and Forde caps luck. What is nice with Forde is that now I'm almost certain I can give him Devil Weapons without fearing too much them backfiring on me. (just 1% for that to happen, come on) Meaning he can use the armorslayer in peace. We clear the area, while Cormag gets an okay-ish-ly bad level. Forde gets a level from clearing up the enemies below... And we move on, with everyone being paralyzed by this fucking mage. WHOAH To be honest, the mage pulled off a crit right before, so that's just payback. meh.jpg My basic plan was to get the ballista destroyed to move while healing with Ewan... Until I realized the ballista also benefitted from the randomization and had therefore 15+ uses. Natashalvl.jpg Yup, those Archers are really bad in terms of defense. If he keeps on getting levels like that, I'm really gonna have him to be just a rescue-bot. With the Eclipse weapons I have, all I need from him are at least Spd + Skl and additionally HP + Res a level. I really need the speed levels for him to keep up. You've gotta be kidding me. Iron Bow hits resistance. Joy. He got killed by the two archers. I love how Cormag's hyper high defense is totally neglected by the fact half the enemies' weapons hit res. Hurray! His defense makes him annoying, but he doesn't deal any damage to half my team so that's okay. So we weaken him with the Armorslayer, and end him with an Iron Sword for Forde to get his last level. At least he proc'd something, I guess? Edited May 13, 2016 by Nintales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintales Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) Part 2! [spoiler=Training Camp (Ch.8 + interlude)] Yup. Devil Weapons hurt, huh? HUH? HUH? Aaaand he dies because 30% is not 0%. Speed = Good level. Formation at the end of T1. We need to burst through these dudes fast... Because this happens. Here they come. Boom! We finally reunite with Lute! While Cormag kills the cavaliers and gets to lv20. You know what that means! IT'S HAPPENING IT'S HAPPENING IT'S HAPPENING PRO-MO-TION Whoah, his defense cap is crap though. A few levels gained here and there by using their abilities. Moving on while feeding Lute xp. I need her as high levelled as possible atm. Uuuugh... Getting past this knight was a pain. But in the end I got through this fucker and was able to feed Lute more exp : I wasn't kidding with the name of this chapter. All I did was giving Lute xp. Got Silver Sword + Robe. I don't need the Elysian Whip because none of my units are Fliers. Here's Tirado. He's not that of a threat, only because he's lv1. If he were lv5 or something like that, it'd have been way much harder. But the RNG is literally with him, as he hits a 31% and I miss 2 67% in a row. Fuck. This. Bastard. But in the end, justice triumphs, while Lute misses on two of her high growths (Spd and Res) and obviously fails to cap speed to give me the finger. I'm not that of a masochist, so I'll go with Eirika. [spoiler=Character Analysis] Forde is a nice unit. He can dodge and deal damage. I don't expect him to survive more than two hits most of the time though. The thing is that, thanks to Mr.Night's playthrough, I remember I'll be able to promote him not once, but twice, which is pretty cool. I think I'll make of him a Swordmaster. I don't have any crit weapon for lethality, and he'll benefit from the higher strength cap. Plus Female Swordmaster simply looks cooler. Innes is a crutch character as its best. I'm totally reliant on his growths for him to be viable. He could end up either being total trash or something viable. I think I'll have to rig some of his levels during the tower farming. Cormag is a good unit. If his speed and strength growths cooperate, he'll end up great. I don't expect him to tank a lot of magic-related things, but he's great at tanking physical based damage early on, and his speed isn't too bad so it's okay. He hurts quite hard, but his con still remains a little bit low. I'm really disappointed in Ewan, simply because this moron can't summon. I just hope some magic tomes are worth it. Luna penetrates resistance, Thunder can poison and Flux has eclipse effect, so it's not too bad tbh. His speed/skill/health are pretty nice, who make him not this much of a letdown. Plus he's the only staff user I have for now. (and maybe for the whole game) Natasha is literally a joke. These are the stats you'd expect of a lv5 base FE unit (and I'm nice), on a lv14 Dancer. Why. Just. Why. The only redeeming factor she has is being a dancer. But since I can't summon to bait enemy AI, she's gonna have a hard time. She, along Forde and Lute, is therefore a primary candidate for Robes. All of Lute's bases minus HP are pretty good. And, since she'll undergo through two promotions, like Forde, her stats won't be too bad in the end. I just hope her bad HP won't make of chapter 15 a pain. [spoiler=??? (BONUS CONTENT)] Just for fun, and because I think all of you are pretty curious, here are the other characters I recruited but couldn't use! Growths : 50% HP 0% Str 40% Skill 10% Spd 115% Luck 90% Def 60% Res To be honest, I'm kinda happy I didn't recieve him. His bases are garbage and his growths mean he can only be somewhat of a meat tank. The issue is just reaching a stade where his defense is high enough for him to tank early on. A complete trash. Growths : 70% HP 60% Str 60% Skl 10% Spd 60% Lck 0% Def 70% Res Tethys wouldn't have been that of a bad unit. Sure, her Spd and Def are awful, but as long as she hits hard in one shot and can tank all the 1-2 weapons, she might have done good as a weakener. Her health growth is pretty good, and her skl growth makes it easy for her to aim. Overall, she'd have been an Average+ unit. Growths : 0% HP 0% Str 60% Skl 5% Spd 135% Lck 65% Def 50% Res If you thought Hayden was trash... Here's Knoll. He'd have been literally untrainable or just a steel sword eclipse bot. 6 speed along average durability is literally unsalvageable. Growths : 70% HP 10% Str 15% Skl 25% Spd 80% Lck 65% Def 30% Res Yup, a totally messed up unit. She's just bad. She can be redeemable if her minion weapon is great, but she's just meh. Growths : 55% HP 125% Str 70% Skl 0% Spd 135% Lck 0% Def 10% Res Okay, Franz is literally worse than Natasha. I can't believe it. I simply can't. Do Dancers in Magvel take steroids? Growths : 40% HP 50% Str 90% Skl 0% Spd 5% Lck 0% Def 55% Res Another WTF character I'm happy I haven't gotten. Seriously, 0 Spd 5 Lck for a myrmidon? This is hilarious. Growths : 0% HP 125% Str 75% Skl 15% Spd 80% Lck 45% Def 25% Res A subpar character. Her health is crap, her strength and skill are good, her speed is awful, and her durability is meh. 90% HP 65% Str 15% Skl 35% Spd 50% Lck 95% Def 20% Res An average character, that'd have actually been hit or miss regarding his speed procs. His speed base is awful to be honest. Growths : 5% HP 15% Str 65% Skl 50% Spd 5% Lck 15% Def 80% Res Average growths. His health growth is awful, but his base is nice. His strength is garbage, but if there's any Eclipse Axe it could have been solved very easily thanks to his great skill. His speed is also good. His luck is awful and if there's any devil axes in there, he'd just have been very annoying to use. His def is okay but his base is good so it's alright, and he'd be a great mage-killer I guess with that res growth. Overall a good unit regarding the average. (I didn't put the Ross/Garcia replacements because they're dead so I'm lazy; sue me) Edited May 13, 2016 by Nintales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNight48 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 this game hates you, it's like you are playing the dark souls edition. plus I am not surprised by your !ewan, because the game is pretty damn anal about who can summon, you will probably have to find the slot your !ewan is in and have nightmare's mods on summons point to that instead of the real ewan. anyway good luck man, seriously.

I did that. Ewan was on Moulder's slot. Guess what? It failed. I still have the chapter 6 save in case someone better than I at this job figures it out, but maybe I can do this without a Summoner. However, I think Ewan is literally my only healer, meaning it's gonna be me and Elixirs in the lategame. I'll probably have to arena farm for some money in chapter 10. Thanks. It's gonna be super duper hard, but at least it gives me something to chew before Fates' release. I still don't get how Orson was able to summon just fine but not Ewan. xD EDIT : And I just realized Ismaire was on my playable list. I'll train her. Soon. EDIT 2 : And my new unit (the one I'll get in Chapter 9) is probably my favorite unit in the entire run. BTW, in case I get monster units : Should I give them some promotion bonuses? Because having none just sucks, but I guess I can roll with it. Edited May 14, 2016 by Nintales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
