DehNutCase Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Oddly enough, 7 and 8 were my fastest clears---probably because they were the maps with the most rigid solutions, so the right move is obvious. Edit: I did everything in numerical order, but from what I've seen most people were basically doing whatever?

eclipse Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I jumped around. I'm going to let my subconscious puzzle it out. I feel like I'm pretty close on 3, 4, and 8, but something-or-other is missing. Especially 8. Will re-attempt 5, 6, and 7 later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilda Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I am haveing fun with this mode, even though it doesnt reward much :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaximillian Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I beat 1, 7, and 8 on my own, and decided that 3/8 is a decent enough result for me. Then I hit the guides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thane Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Finally got some time to sit down again and play these. After repeatedly running into a brick wall on the damn Cherche/Nowi/Takumi map, I tried the Echoes-themed one and beat it in only a few tries. That makes the two first and two last completed, but I just can't figure out the Takumi one; I haven't even really focused hard on any other challenge because I'm so hell-bent on beating it but I just can't do it. I'll never look down on Fortify Fliers again. Edited July 10, 2018 by Thane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintessence Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The concept is really cool, I like it because it pushes your strategizing to further levels, and it resembles typical tactics we do everyday. I simply bombed on GM lol. The only one I consciously figured out was 2, the rest, except infernal ones were all cleared through guides because, screw it, 00am is really tough for strategizing.

Rafiel's Aria Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I managed to beat all the maps for the first two levels of this mode before moving onto the GM maps. So far, I've managed to beat the first two maps. The second one kicked my butt for a little bit, but I thought it was really fun actually. I've also attempted the 3rd and the 6th map, but no luck in beating them yet. Gonna keep trying. I was really confused on the third map when I tried to use Cherche, and she didn't double any of the enemies with her Brave Axe. Not my Cherche. RIP. XD These maps at least give me a new appreciation for f2p strategies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Insanity Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 After the shock of getting to 5% last night looking for Cordelia, I got around to finishing the last of the grandmaster stages. All in all very satisfying to beat. I felt like the very specific solutions lent to more of a trial and error play than actual tactics, but I digress.

thecrimsonflash Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) I finally cleared them all, no guides, I will just say GM 3 was the worst, the solution only served to make me feel stupid.

Stroud Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It still feels a bit strange that Chroms map was the most difficult for me. I found the last 2 map the easiest, because they were like a red string through and the explanation was much. On Chroms map I just had been stuck on a false Idea and it makes me a bit sad that I needed a little hint. So I hope that we will get GM every 2 weeks and not randomly. Somehow I can't wait for the next. xD It is a pretty entertaining mode. And I also think it is not for nothing. At least I think those of us who struggled with A.I. manipulation and foresight can learn a few things there. But don't know if it is only just my thought.

Michelaar Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I like the new map! It was pretty straighforward but still, it was fun since ploys are not something I use often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Aw yiss! Got the bloody Takumi map! I'm sure Zelgius and Chrom will make me want to tear my hair out but for now I celebrate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuvy Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) I can't even figure out Grandmaster 1 or 2 so.... Edited July 12, 2018 by Tuvy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Branniglenn Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Didn't know we'd get more maps. I certainly imagined this mode would get updates in times, but don't recall the game mentioning the possibility. Is there an update schedule we can look forward to, like with the Blessed Gardens?

Marston Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I liked the new Ploy map. First try, but still a bit harder being a later skill map. 5/8 Grandmaster so far. 4-6 are still missing and I already banged my head against 4+5. The Healer map can go die in a fire.

I started in numerical order, but if I got stuck on one map for more than a few tries, I moved on to the next one. If I got to the last uncompleted one on the list, I'd just cycle back to the start. Helped me clear my mind and not get stuck in just one way of approaching the map, which resulted in a cascade of just having a brain wave that let me essentially win four in a row a few days ago. I recommend anyone still stuck give that approach a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmender Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 The new map was pretty nice. It took two tries because I tried to do something dumb with Deirdre the first time and ran out of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafiel's Aria Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I feel like my thoughts on these maps are constantly changing now. Actually beating a GM map is incredibly rewarding...but managing to do it is another story. Yesterday, I beat the healer map, but after probably about 4 hours total of completely failing I decided to cheat and check to see if my opening moves were correct since I had changed them multiple times. >.> It's so infuriating to feel like you were doing it right except for some positioning at the end only to realize basically everything was wrong from the start. And after actually beating it, it didn't feel nearly as rewarding since I had to cheat. Ugh... I'm incredibly disappointed in myself.

Yeah, I think the problem with my remaining maps is that it's impossible to tell if you're on the right track or not. There are so many variables to keep track of. Maybe the opening was correct but I needed to move one unit one tile differently in the middle which caused everything to fall apart - I wouldn't know if my opening was the right one or not.
