I hope not, I'd rather avoid using him since he's a Gaiden condition...

Do what I did, reset if the gaiden condition dies, then bench them for life. That way you get to be extra miserable!

Well, I think the meta play is early-promoting Rutger and Lance and letting them solo overything.

What is the meta? I have never heard of such an outlandish concept.

I know that Erik would only be about 38 due to FE7, but man...He must be in his mid 40's at the very least...

I still don't understand why, of all the characters they could've given a backstory to in the prequel, they chose... the throwaway boss from chapter 4. He's not even close to being the most interesting boss in the game! If they were gonna do that, couldn't they have given a backstory to Sigune, then? Sigune deserved it more than this idiot!

Well, here we go! Strike up the epic music!

What, "doooo be daaaaa doooo be daaaaa": The Song isn't epic enough for you?

...I really hate that it returns for chapters 15 and 16. Those two maps deserved better than that.

That definitely helps!

Well, that's okay. Honestly, just with the level he got before he's already much closer to Jerrot than he has any right to be.

Don't get used to it. It never lasts.

It's because that axe didn't have the 69% hitrate. If it did it totes would've landed.

Alan's frickin' dead.

Oh man... As far as losses go, Alan is one of the best ones to take, but this was such a preventable death...

On the bright side, I don't have to decide which way to spell Alen anymore.

Go figure. The one rider/swordsman not named Marcus that survived my run...

You know, I think that Erik's on our side. There's no other way that he'd give a gremlin to Narcian.

Turns out he was a good guy all along, but we didn't listen. Merlinus once again is the reason for everything bad in this game.

Rutger's blood, to be precise.

Eeeh... Yeah, that's fine. The speed is actualy really nice, because sooner or later you can double with better weapons.

You can give "better weapons" to Bors.

How's that sound? Eh? Eh?

Why'd you have to do Wolt like that? Now he's going to wish he's dead, and purposely neglect to dodge some low percents...

10 hours ago, Benice said:

The devs were very good at gameplay-story integration here; much like in the story, Erik is an utter prick.

Ah yes, FE6: The peak of gameplay-story integration. Like Henning. You know, the random-ass bandit dude who is more powerful than every else in the game? Great integration, right there.

Blessed Roy! Blessed Roy! Let's go-- Oh wait, he still can't promote. Oof...

Despite the loss of Alan, we could have lost Marcus, Deke, Shanna or even Bors!

Not Bors...!

Sheesh, no promoted units? I don't even know if it'll be possible, since nobody except for Roy will be able to use S-rank weapons to accomodate for their worse stats...

nah no binding blade allowed, no Roy promo, I disabled it. However, I will be making great use of the arena and statbooster secret shops

16 hours ago, Benice said:

I love how they're almost exactly the same unit.

not really, Allen doesn't really double until after promo, and Lance does have a bit worse durability and damage dealing.

16 hours ago, Benice said:

Well, I feel like it's easier to beat the game without Melady than it is without Marcus, since there are a ton of good fliers around when Melady joins, while Marcus is mostly irreplaceable for the first bit.

it's absolutely easier to beat it without Melady then Marcus. There is no other unit I'd rather have for FE6 then Marcus.

Nonsense, this Wolt will last until engame!

Engame means chapter 5 when you misposition him, right?

16 hours ago, Benice said:

Thito? THITO?!

a very old name from the gamefaqs days. but yeah Thito isn't really the best name

16 hours ago, Benice said:

On that note, I think Troubadours also don't count as mounted?

correct.

16 hours ago, Benice said:

I really should have trained Shanna more. Her chance on chapter 8 promotion is pretty low.

 

eh, chapter 6 is an xp dump, along with 8 soldiers, and literally all of 8x is an xp dump except the boss. As long as she's promoted before the western isles, she's good.

on the bright side, Bors has only one more competitor to eliminate prove his worth against for the ch 8 knight's crest.

16 hours ago, Benice said:

Eeeh... Yeah, that's fine. The speed is actualy really nice, because sooner or later you can double with better weapons. Also, how is her defense so high?

that's her base defense with 1 level. Shanna with an angelic robe pretty gob.

You know, I wish we got more not-evil dragons in this game.

I wish there were more then two dragons capable of making their own decisions in this game. That's literally just Fae and Yahn. Everyone else is just a faceless war dragon.

Ein doesn't count btw, he's also a war dragon. Probably?

For which LP?

I was thinking about my Berwick Saga LP (although I didn't actually start writing yet...), although I could probably start writing for the Awakening one as well, but I kinda want to replay part of the chapter, as I lost enough of the images when my phone fried, that I had to replay it once for more images, but on the replay I made a simple error that made things far more luck dependent, and I kinda want to correct that error for the LP write-up (meaning another replay of the chapter...)

Oh, and I completely forgot to talk about Clarine. She's nearly the same unit as Elen, except with a horse, higher speed and lower magic. So, objectively better.

Meh, Clarine is kinda overrated anyway.

My Dude Chronicles, chapter 5: River of Regrets

...Because of school being a little obtrusive to LPing and my own laziness, I think that we'll have to accept that, for now, updates are going to be as rare as a good strategy from me. Ergh, but hopefully a LITTLE faster between this update and the next one.

Regardless, hope you enjoy this one!

  Marcus-11.pngDo it now kill him before he kills the rest of us!

F0ji0qu.pngNow now, patience is a virtue young me.

If Marcus had killed My Dude back when they first met, he'd have done Hector's army a decent bit of good.

Erik has certainly been unfortunate in his aging. Maybe that explains the betrayal.

Hey, he aged a bit better than Eliwood and Hector. Especially since Hector's dead.

Plus he could have been closer to 20 and still been in their circle. After all, he's still an heir to a marquess then.

I suppose so.

You might say these cavs are a knightmare on this LP eh?

GHHHK

I guess.

Extra HP means he can avoid Alan's fate!

Valkyries don't.

Lovely.

Why is BB like this?

Perfected game design!

You keep not wanting Lance, the game keeps telling you to.

I carve my own fate, just like how Roy carves his own fate to become a good unit!

SPD

He's a really nice bosskiller once you promote him.

That's a Lot better than the last few for sure.

I might need to alLot more exp to him!

BB.png

Benice.png

To be fair, there are worse times for this to happen.

Yeah, Alan's the best loss to take.

Ah, fucking up to get someone killed.

Truly this is an FE let's play now.

I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier, in fact!

Elen gets Mag at last.

Breaking the endgame ready cleric-Curse!

RIP Alen/Alan/Allen-a-Dale.

We now need someone to Allend a hand to the gravekeeper.

Clarine is not someone who makes a habit of listening to people.

I'm not someone who makes a habit of not killing units.

At least she can recruit some other units too. I'd still trust her extra move for recruiting Klein over Boi.

That's true! I think my current strategy will have her die in Ch. 7, but she might get lucky.

I need to use this in future.

Nice.

Stats and edge.

It's nothing personnel to the people he defeats.

I mean, he has a chip on his shoulder due to his mixed heritage, but other than that, not sure what else to bring up.

He also makes a very nice bench warmer.

Not too bad to see at all.

Her Defence is high because she's thinking it's BS and she might be able to take an arrow if she's lucky.

With enough HP, I guess she will be able to!

Durability.

Sure, why not?

Luck does increase both hit, avoid and crit avoid! Normally I'd groan about it, but it's a nice helper in FE6.

Oh no, he's dabbing on you.

You can't counter that.

"My cringe is my power!"

He got accuracy.

Hey, he doesn't need strength to be useful in Chapter 7!

...I think. I've never had him be cursed for str before...

7/7/7. Before level 7.

This Wolt wants to call the rest of us out.

I love how he's two defense over average right now, even though it's unlikely to help him.

Hey, in time she might tank a Bolting.

The 5head strat is to simply use the Angelic robe on her.

Close.

Very close.

Nearly had horse wings and everything.

31 feels so insignificant for me and huge for the enemy.

It makes complete sense for him to call Wolt his little pogchamp.....

NOOOOO

How did I even say that? Ugh.

I hope Wolt stops being good so that you don't have to say that again.

Sure, she's able to take 17 physical damage.

Great level I guess.

Hey, if she gets bulky enough, she might survive chapter 7!

Just like Lance earlier.

She don't need the extra crit avoid...

Able to take 20 physical attack. This is lovely tanking /s

Lugh is just better Bors.

Your army is the resistance, it only makes sense they have good Res.

...

For Pherae intensifies

BOI

Roy is currently the only one who needs to fight for Pherae the way this is going...

Defences would also have been good.

Good all the same.

I won't ever complain about Roy getting more than two useful stats in a level.

FIFY

True.

Is this a Larum splice? Damm, that's actually pretty good spying on her part then.

Only time shall tell.

What a Lausy chapter, am I right?

Truly, Veritably, Indubitably, even.

Makes you wonder which deity he is praying to...is he how Cup O Noodle gains a foothold on this little proxy battle between the gods?

We shall find out.

This makes me think you tend to lose Rutger immediately...

No, I just never use him.

...meh, resistance is rare, but kinda over rated.

HP is still more bulk, at least!

Roy being a good boy with his edgy anime sword.

With his anime in one hand and his rapier in the other, he shall restore peace to the land.

Nomads really are obnoxious...yeah I am kinda expecting a Marcus shaped hole to appear in that nomad shortly.

I am very glad that he didn't miss.

Truly the hero this army both needed, and deserved.

Have you seen half the army's levels? They don't deserve Bors' chin.

Seeing Lugh out in the open like that makes me feel so uncomfortable...

He'll be fine, he's almost an armor knight.

...Ho boy... hopefully there is some sorta rescue strat incoming, or he is about to become swiss cheese...

I rarely use rescue utility to my advantage, but I thought of it this time!

Hopefully he lives long enough to enjoy that level.

Hopefully he lives long enough to recruit his bro. Chad can do it to, but if he survives that long, I'd be shocked if Lugh hadn't.

Also, even though every playthrough of FE6 I've seen always says that few people know that Raigh can be recruited by Chad as well as Lugh, I've never seen Lugh's recruitment with him before.

Lot is just missing out on a lot if good stat gains this run.

He'll get there eventually!

Its so weird seeing all those early game armor effective weapons being used against cavs.

Marcus makes everything good.

CEASE SPREADING THESE VILE MISTRUTHS, STEVE.

Oof...those are always the worst kinda errors, where doing nothing at all would have saved the unit.

Ayup.

RIP generic cav, with how many early knights crests are available, you had about a 3/4 chance of being redundant anyway, even if Benice wanted to use you.

Nah, he wouldn't have been used at all.

I appreciate that you so specifically parody the Fallout 1 version of that classic series opening line, its a nice touch...and now I am imagining Marcus having Ron Perlman's voice...

From where Marcus is kneeling, it must seem like an 18-carat run of bad luck. But the truth is, the RNG was rigged from the start.

So many of her issues this map is missing just 1 strength...

It's a real bummer.

Meh, Clarine is kinda overrated anyway.

Better than Elen, at least. We are still going to be using Elen, though.

Killing him with Bors would have been so beautiful.

To be honest, I think Bors would get killed doing that.

After your critical Math error before, I am not particularly reassured by this insistence.

Me neither.

36 hit and being doubled...yeah grinding up Marcus's axe rank to use that bad boy may have been the better idea...

Effective melee damage weapons are good in this game, I promise.

How disgusting...but after the last ironman you kinda need all the help you can get (and who knows, he could die next chapter to a random crit like in the succession game).

Yeah, that wouldn't shock me. Still, losing him to a low% crit is better than losing anyone else in that manner.

Just one more strength...

She needed it.

...sigh. One strength proc would go such a long way...

We get an energy ring soon, I think!

...I think I'll give it to Elen, though.

Its the best of times. I am seeing a solid Armor Knight Triangle attack in your future, and that is always a fun time.

I hope so, it'll make Wendy tolerable.

I thought it was the dead one that kept facing the low percent crits...I guess this keeps him from following in the corpse's footsteps, but he really could be getting better levels.

Ah well, he's getting benched soon enough regardless.

Seems Marcus's fears about My Dude not learning from his mistakes was unfounded.

It's hard to tell at this point in the game.

I expect to see this a lot...Good Luck getting him that level!

OH LORD, I FORGOT I HAVE TO DO THAT.

Hm... Western Isles might not be so terrible to do that.

What a beast of a Wolt...

It's extremely nice to have a good unit that I can justifiably use.

...misclick the heal on Bors instead of Shanna...oh boy, this will be a painful enemy turn to watch...

I can't believe I did that.

She is trying to go out with a dramatic bang it seems...

SHE'S NOT ALLOWED TO GO OUT

Phew...that was close. Not Punished this time.

That would have been a massive setback.

Missed that 50%  magic three time in a row then...Better Call Saul... (ba dum tss)

The curse of the endgame-ready cleric.

I am oddly torn, naming his lordship after his paradox sister feels so odd, but he earned something like this after all those levels.

He definitely deserves it.

That is a fair bit of grinding. Hopefully more Fire Tomes was a part of your giant shopping spree.

Ayup, I fairly consistently run out of tomes for him if I forget to

What a beast of a Roy... and all with the kinda cringy energy where he might sincerely say " Teleports behind you, Nothing Personal Kid" before killing someone

Any way Roy continues to steamroll along is fine by me.

WHat a beast...although it doesn't really fix Roys big problem, the ludicrously late promotion of his.

Hey, 20/20/20 for strength/speed/defense is good enough for ch. 20x!

What a mysterious figure...who could she (or he I guess) be.

The emissary of Cup Noodle, perhaps?

nah no binding blade allowed, no Roy promo, I disabled it. However, I will be making great use of the arena and statbooster secret shops

Oof.

not really, Allen doesn't really double until after promo, and Lance does have a bit worse durability and damage dealing.

IMO, him not doubling pre-promo doesn't matter too much, since Marcus can carry until he promotes.

it's absolutely easier to beat it without Melady then Marcus. There is no other unit I'd rather have for FE6 then Marcus.

What about Wolt?

Engame means chapter 5 when you misposition him, right?

SHUT

a very old name from the gamefaqs days. but yeah Thito isn't really the best name

I am so glad that they didn't canonize that name in FEH.

correct.

Excellent, I am sure Clarine can exploit this.

eh, chapter 6 is an xp dump, along with 8 soldiers, and literally all of 8x is an xp dump except the boss. As long as she's promoted before the western isles, she's good.

True, but the more exp I give to her, the less that goes to Bors.

on the bright side, Bors has only one more competitor to eliminate prove his worth against for the ch 8 knight's crest.

True...

Hey, no! There's also Noah and Treck!

that's her base defense with 1 level. Shanna with an angelic robe pretty gob.

Yeah. A shame that I won't be using it on her.

his bases are good enough for now

and there's always Ogier

I have way too many hero crest users I wanna use... Fir, Gonzales, Lot, Ward, Geese... Dang.

I wish there were more then two dragons capable of making their own decisions in this game. That's literally just Fae and Yahn. Everyone else is just a faceless war dragon.

Nice. Then again, I don't think any FEs put that much stock into story.

Ein doesn't count btw, he's also a war dragon. Probably?

I think they say he is.

But in reality, he's free real estate for anyone with an S-rank weapon.

Do what I did, reset if the gaiden condition dies, then bench them for life. That way you get to be extra miserable!

Ayup, that's what I intend to do.

What is the meta? I have never heard of such an outlandish concept.

I believe that it's a type of tomato.

You wouldn't dare!

Bet?

We should have Erik Estrada voice someone in the next FE.

I still don't understand why, of all the characters they could've given a backstory to in the prequel, they chose... the throwaway boss from chapter 4. He's not even close to being the most interesting boss in the game! If they were gonna do that, couldn't they have given a backstory to Sigune, then? Sigune deserved it more than this idiot!

It's not quite as weird as for some reason making Geitz the brother of Geese...

What, "doooo be daaaaa doooo be daaaaa": The Song isn't epic enough for you?

There's a reason I always have music off when I play any non-3DSFE

...I really hate that it returns for chapters 15 and 16. Those two maps deserved better than that.

Especially after For The Commanders in the western isles.

Well, that's okay. Honestly, just with the level he got before he's already much closer to Jerrot than he has any right to be.

True.

Yes! Bors! By the power of the chin, he shall prevail!

Invincible chin!

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

This girl good how, again?

YOU'LL SEE, I PROMISE.

Ahhh, the FE6 experience. Always lovely to see.

Thank goodness he didn't miss.

Not too bad, though 4 base magic is still a bit eeeeeeeeeeeeee.

He'll get over it.

I still believe in him.

I am losing faith...

Always satisfying, isn't it?

Don't get used to it. It never lasts.

What do you mean? I never once made a mistake in this map!

It's because that axe didn't have the 69% hitrate. If it did it totes would've landed.

True.

Ehhh I get it. Axes are cool and so are bad units.

Exactly.

That's a terrible idea.

Flawless idea.

I don't even have anything witty to say. That was just a rookie mistake.

...You know, not unlike the kind I would've made.

I'm just glad that it was Alen and not Bors.

That's pretty great for Elen! Good on her!

The endgame-ready cleric curse has ended!

Go figure. The one rider/swordsman not named Marcus that survived my run...

That means everyone else will survive in my LP! Nice.

Ahhh, 's 'aight, Ben, my boy. Happens to the best of us. Me? No, not me. I am the pinnacle of objectivity. Only good plays over in my corner, yessir.

Absolutely. Morgan's also a really memorable character, by far the best midgame boss in the franchise.

Turns out he was a good guy all along, but we didn't listen. Merlinus once again is the reason for everything bad in this game.

His plan failed, unfortunately, so he gets a pass.

Well... At least you're not in Rutger's range. It's something.

I, unfortunately, was not ready to deal with his axe friends.

Not bad! Fine bit of tanking there, my chinny friend.

Only three defense more than Shanna.

That always makes me smile, I'll admit. She's so stupid.

Floyd.

I demand blood for this transgression.

Rutger's blood, to be precise.

I must save sacrificing him for a funni part of the fanfic, though!

Ooooooooooooooooooor

Hear me out here, Ben.

You can give "better weapons" to Bors.

How's that sound? Eh? Eh?

To be fair, Shanna does get double the extra might than what Bors would get...

Crits are always such a bitch. Even your own. Stupid fucking mechanic...

I don't have a massive problem with losing a unit to RNG, at least in retrospect... It allows me to play well but still scream at the computer, with the latter being a requirement in any game I play.

I don't get the comment, but I'm glad you mentioned Garon, my favorite character in Fiya Emburem Feights: Conquest. I love him, he's so stupid and bad.

The myrmidon looked like a slime, is all.

Holy shit, Wolt.

Keep it up.

I am a teeny bit sad that it's comedic meme archer that's getting the RNG-blessage as opposed to someone weird, like Geese.

Hoo, boy. I mean, to be fair, that's pretty low, but... Well, I'd have been scared too, given the amount of times I've lost units to single-digit chances.

...Have there been any? I don't recall any in the FE6 or FE12 LPs, at least.

Well, I guess there was Ogier. That was bad.

Oof.

 

 

Why'd you have to do Wolt like that? Now he's going to wish he's dead, and purposely neglect to dodge some low percents...

We needed our daily dose of cringe in this update.

Ah yes, FE6: The peak of gameplay-story integration. Like Henning. You know, the random-ass bandit dude who is more powerful than every else in the game? Great integration, right there.

Let's also not forget the absolutely terrifying war dragon, Ein! Who definitely won't get ORKO'd by a decent chunk of units!

Blessed Roy! Blessed Roy! Let's go-- Oh wait, he still can't promote. Oof...

He'll be fine.

Not Bors...!

Fortunately, Bors is actually invincible.

Heeeeeeeeeey...

I like this sprite.

But heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey... Suspicious!

Sussy sprite?

I enjoy Merlinus' character, as he possesses a strong moral compass.

Alrighty, let's head off.

Perfect, that chapter went fantastic!

Okay, fine I'll help them out.

Youth, theoretically.

4zO2ShE.png

In Hard Mode, going the down to the gate is a good way to fix any overpopulation issues you might have. Instead, we get to walk around the top of the mountain range and through the forest!

This map's not incredibly tough, but because of the speedy Nomads and the hard-hitting bandits, you can lose someone if you're not careful here. Also, there are some bad ambush spawns here, but I know about 'em, so they won't be a problem.

whGYiYz.pngLkcK1rT.png2ua8nOQ.pngo3ABjHf.png

First turn is simply trading and such.

Also,

u4N64P9.pngn41zN4t.png

ST ELIMINE THIS BOSS

People give Henning flak in terms of bad bosses, and I always have found it weird that nobody mentions this guy-absurd strength, 11 defense, a Killer Axe, a ton of avoid... His only hole is his low res, but Lugh will need a few HP/Def levels in addition to the Angelic Robe to survive the Hand Axe. With Henning, you'll most certainly have a variety of good units to deal with his bulk and dodginess, but this guy? It's Lugh or bust. And a good Lugh as well.

eg820Vu.png

I'm glad he doesn't move.

C3Y4Dlz.pngYw0qcSq.pngkZC9or7.pngz3vikod.png

c6lLr8e.pngNever before has St. Elimine given such gracious curves to a being... Come now, come with me! I shall soothe you with my most gentle sermons all night... Heh heh...

    LA6iu1v.png...Saul, are you hitting on a toaster? Again?

c6lLr8e.pngAh, jealous of all the attention Cuisinart CPT-180's getting, are you?

    LA6iu1v.pngFor the love of St. Elimine, we need to get a move on! The Lycian army's nearby, and you know how important our mission is!

c6lLr8e.pngOf course! You're right! Lady Guinevere and her lovely microwave need our assistance immediately. Don't be slow, Dorothy! We're off!

    LA6iu1v.pngHe's only in it for the appliances, as usual...

ROY GOOD.

pvoFmM2.png9cxqVos.pngeLYWfdQ.png

Nice.

ZJ7Ketx.pngORX2FoS.png

This is a really bad chapter for Bors, but he is probably the best option here...

eHoxCbL.png

Bors is close to getting a level, and if he gets speed, things will look way better for him.

...But he also would probably die, so it's not to be.

raKHQKL.pngmCbqHhR.pngNzGrA6S.pngIRtCrAZ.png

Because of these nomads, I need Marcus at the very front to be able to hit one of them without me having to worry about positioning too much.

reoS2S8.png78L25Wm.pngH4a5tHp.pngVzXe3AS.png

I need Lugh to do a lot of work this chapter so that I can get him to help out with the boss.

Yeah! This is excellent!

Oh, hey, they've got their B support!

...I didn't show the C, did I? Bruh. They actually have a good chain.

I really quite like this support chain.

Not only is it good for characters in my opinion, it comes in quite handy in chapter 7! Assuming I don't kill one of them off by then.

Ah, it's fine.

spYEGAy.png

We know that Bors never misses, so...

q5bDp5w.pngRO8UhNn.pngx1OO7KR.png

Nice. These guys are the biggest threat to our army, so having 1/2 down makes things a fair bit easier.

0IODtsl.pngYaeRSlo.png

Wait-

Oh no.

I think Bors may have just died.

WjyabtB.pngVjs8wXX.png

He has an outside chance of dodging one of the axes if he has no WTD against 'em...

rMk5y5K.png

Maybe Lugh can draw some aggro as well?

WHY AM I SO BAD AT THIS?!

This is going to have extremely long-term repercussions...

I swear to god, Lot, if you miss...

Thank the almighty St. Elimine, we got him... Just the Nomad, and we'll be in the clear.

keoYup9.png

Ah, good enough. Lance can plug the fort up, and the nomad can't ORKO anyone from there.

K827cZO.png

I am beginning to think that Ruben was right about you.

V6iLzV6.png

And Lance will be perfectly fine on the fort.

Oh god, these guys hit way harder than I expected, noooo-

OOOGH! Thank you, RNGoddess!

WmwzTXU.png

Well, at least we still have the killing edge.

ST. ELIMINE, NO! NOT ELEN! WHAT AM I DOING?!

Thank heavens you dodged that... Good lord, I'm doing horribly right now.

KNZUmPN.png

Nice.

This is quite the predicament.

k6NCzhy.png

I absolutely cannot risk this. I need you not only for chests, but also Raigh.

Secondly, we've had one meme die today already. You will use this ASAP so that you do not join Bors.

Alas, you'll be seeing battle today, Rutger.

Nice.

I1bVPhF.pngzBnHV1H.png

How did Roy end up being good, of all people?

USkSXS5.png8XHr0Rj.png

I think that we'll be okay now. I'm not going to rule out any more terrible errors, but if I can pull myself together, I think we can get outta here without more deaths.

J69LmMb.pngVrU9GuA.png4kQWaOq.pngKPxdT11.pngHdvgB9Z.png5NWZ9Us.pnghbZ6oh0.png

I think... We'll be OK? Chad can technically die, but it's extremely unlikely.

C1zGQjm.pngsZ5208J.png

The endgame-ready cleric will survive this time. This is a massive mistake, as Shanna would make brilliant use of this, as opposed to Elen, who will use it once or twice.

dlSz8Ij.pngu90l4Uy.png

RIP Merlinus.

VQsb20V.png

You are also not allowed to die yet!

Well now, let's take on the thrilling challenge of...

gmifnz3.png

Fighting this one stationary merc!

8BNWDYz.png

Oh.

qIMiUgq.png

But I've already got a Lance!

Jv6yw78.png00oXOvK.pngfKRwqnW.png

Gant's lance is decent at times. Normally I like to give it to Shanna, but her speed ain't good enough yet.

tbECWBB.png

Well, let's get to work on these lads over here.

r8s6eUi.pngp5UB1T0.pngmYKZiIY.pngJr3gFEV.pngM31hxMN.png

I love Marcus.

Not a chance I try this.

Roy'll be fine to block this merc, though.

Random healing for exp, then it's EP.

6aaXjBr.pnglEOeIQr.pngEpWvH9A.pngkNC8MSD.pngNaIaHf9.png

It's at this part of the map that reinforcements start to arrive, so I have to be really careful about where I put non-sword users.

Combined, Roy, Wolt and Marcus can take down this merc.

Cdnl1k6.pngX6DR92S.pngGlaZWoe.pngBS6GdpX.pngW6KTUnw.pnga4vAlZw.pngn42GC70.png

What will our Boy do?

JHQ2WMW.png

Dear lord, you're not too far from Rutger anymore. Picking up the slack left by Bors and Lugh, I guess. Please keep doin' this!

0hHso1g.png

I should have taken a screenshot of Wolt trading a sword to Marcus, shouldn't I?

81jVHvG.pngvSfnvIz.pngXos1uBX.png7ZM809A.pngimT8SGi.png

Nice.

IoZLfGF.png

Hoo hoo hooooooo! Wolt doubles! Who needs Bors, anyways? Wolt can carry the meme game all by himself!

6p6xuyh.pngAN9dXld.png

Now that I've said that, I'm certain that he'll get a luck-only level here.

dGhF16U.png

Honestly, not too bad. He's still a long ways from doubling any respectable enemy, so the extra strength is nice.

H273c32.png

Jesus H. Pringle, did I just-

NOT THE MEME UNIT AGAIN! NOT A SECOND TIME IN A SINGLE CHAPTER!

2ruBiQV.png

AAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH-

How many times have I gotten lucky this chapter? St. Elimine, you're not often this gracious.

POxebds.png

Oooooff... I need to get my act together, big time.

PnkJIaM.pngBVmxT9N.png

Next turn, we're gonna have to retreat, I think.

qrqPegC.pngUe39Gfi.png

First off, we must save Wolt.

2QZeUTi.png

And with Elen in the clear, we can now send in our attacking units, like Rutg-

oCmsIzT.png

Clearly, this is St. Elimine's punishment for my use of Rutger.

8fmynm8.pngFzG0BFQ.pngjH5nXy8.pngprAaYZt.pngFTeCRIm.png

Nice.

i3ilam2.png

...

OGPGtqo.png

You may leave now.

P3DRaZt.png

Rutger can't properly get away, so he'll just stand on a forest tile to maximize his chance of survival.

LEae5Ze.png

I'm only a little worried about Marcus.

A8JNtqZ.png

Yeah, he has to get hit by three of these to die.

3owmHRE.png3owmHRE.pngna7nFZW.png

Nice.

z70bLyn.png

They're going for Roy? Now I'm a little nervous.

H8VJYf4.png

Oh no.

AwrNsDE.pngH8VJYf4.pngIFbwKWb.png

Nah, we're fine, we're fine. Nobody else will die here. Bors and Lugh were enough.

BvfuqQD.pngxkJRWUI.pnghxD9NHs.pnglJRMV1p.png

That was a little scarier than I should have allowed it to be, but we all turned out OK in the end.

9tERyqE.pngENZEWy9.pngArLWzzB.png

The lads heal up and fall back.

SS7HFJy.png

The only real problem caused by Rutger's death on this turn would be that I lose the armorslayer. That would suck a ton, 'cause I need it for chapter 7 and chapter 8, especially the former; IIRC strong reinforcement spawn from the bottom if you're too slow, so getting Debias out of the way quickly is imperative.

7TVkU7c.png

...Oh.

That's a bummer.

NlLj9HK.pngnCpMs74.png

How many avoided deathblows has that been for us today?

AVRmEIg.png

I guess I shouldn't count my chickens before they've hatched, though, since Rutger can still die.

DWHqUiA.png

Never mind, then.

WGQqyYw.png

I did not deserve to make through this enemy phase unscathed.

xbIy9Sp.png

zV0Qv1l.png

Bah.

7wwwyTc.pngH7xLVdC.png

Well, no other attacks have to be made here... Roy has a high chance of being reduced to really low HP, but I think he'll be a champ and tank it.

stvFQ5v.png6s6uSFN.png45yUFFP.pngFQSY9Q4.pngvLVXHed.pngbCE3wTJ.png

Barring horrid luck, we should be good to go for this turn.

mliwMtf.png

Just look at this. This is absurd. Clarine leads in nearly every stat that matters, and is four levels lower.

Wolt has the highest hitrate and damage. The boss heals four points each turn.

...

I shall spare you the several hundred screenshots of attacking him, (I was able to boost Wolt's damage up to 5 via supports) and instead show the highlights.

Ten defense? Ten speed?

He's only one point short of defense as compared to what Bors did.

That was a veritable disaster, and yet I can't help but be thankful for how many deathblows we dodged... Still, this was bad. I really didn't want to lose the funni chin, and now Chad, who gets OHKO'd by everything, has to survive, like, eight maps to recruit Raigh.

Welp, onto another chapter I consider to be easy. Worst case-scenario, I still get a large amount of money and other nice stuff! That said, after this map went down the drain, I no longer feel confident about my ability to get through 6. And 7 will be a catastrophe.

Finally, for anyone who's still readin' this after the two-month hiatus, I hope that you'll have a fantastic day, and that you enjoyed a return to my strategic form from FE7!

 

 

cGgsqSC.pngI can't believe it... Bors... Lugh... Why?

vWRCHbA.pngWhy the long face, unpaid intern?

cGgsqSC.pngBors and Lugh are dead! DEAD!

vWRCHbA.pngJeez, if you're that upset about it, just use the power [Reset] that St. Elimine gave you...

cGgsqSC.pngReset?

vWRCHbA.pngNo, it has brackets. Anyways, just do it. St. Elimine told me that she sent you from the past, which means that there's the power to reverse time within you. I'd have questioned your abilities and worried a bit more about Alan and the others dyin', but this is just you practicing and finding out enemy tactics. Bern's way stronger than us, so it seems only logical to see what they've got! Next time, though, we'll need everyone, got it? St. Elimine told me that. Plus, there's no reason to give Elen those nice new robes, it must have just been 'cause it looks killer with her outfit. You'll give it to someone like Shanna next time, right?

cGgsqSC.png... I-

vWRCHbA.pngYou do know how to [Reset], right? You only need to have the desire to turn back time, and it happens as you will. You've yet to use your power, so surely...

cGgsqSC.pngTh-there's a power within me that can do that?! But how? I've not desired anything other than to save our allies and wished I could turn back the clock!

vWRCHbA.pngOh no... You're telling me that our allies are dead for realsies?!

cGgsqSC.pngI'm sorry... If I'd had this power under my control, I'd have saved everyone...

vWRCHbA.pngSt. Elimine... What's going on?! She told me that you had the power to navigate time...

cGgsqSC.pngI can learn it, surely...

vWRCHbA.pngBut how? Oh, Alan, Bors, Lugh... All the enemies I've slain... I thought we were all just pals headin' out for a night on the town... How foolish I was to trifle with lives so... Worst of all... Wolt will have to deal with being named PogChamp his entire life!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Midnight, on a carriage rolling along in the darkness

 

 

 

cWJn2Ey.pngUrgh...

Lt6BZXP.pngHey, Hey, you. You're finally awake.

cWJn2Ey.pngOoorgh... Am I dead?

Lt6BZXP.pngHey,Not yet. I was following your army and found your body lying near a fort. I directed a caravan towards you, and we're now in a carriage, en route to Ryerde.

cWJn2Ey.pngBut why go to all that trouble?

Lt6BZXP.pngHey,The armor of an Ostian knight would fetch no small price on the market, and one would have to be a fool to go to Ryerde without ample funds. Unfortunately, the merchants of the caravan seemed interested in keeping your equipment for you so that you can serve our country's army once more. Furthermore, possesion of a recently-deceased Ostian's armor wouldn't be good for me, so you needed to be alive.

cWJn2Ey.pngWell, thank you all the same. A good deed is a good deed, regardless of intent!

Lt6BZXP.pngHey,We shall see if saving your life indeed was a good deed.

cWJn2Ey.pngSaving any life is a good deed. I will not squander my second chance you've given me.

Lt6BZXP.pngHey,By the way, before I go, the doctor of the caravan told me that you've got a bunch of broken bones, so you shouldn't try walking.

cWJn2Ey.png(Goodness, I won't be able to protect Lady Lilina like this...)

Lt6BZXP.pngHey,If you would rest in Ryerde, it allow you to heal quickly. Farewell. I have a feeling this injury will barely slow you down, if only because you were slow before it anyways.

cWJn2Ey.pngWait, before you go, what's your name? You've done me a good turn here, and I would like to repay it when possible.

Lt6BZXP.pngHey,I suppose there's nothing for it. They call me...

WzZW3QG.pngThe Ivory Crow.

cWJn2Ey.png(But your attire isn't even slightly ivory colored...) Noted! I will remember that. Someday, should our paths cross, I will repay this favor. I swear on my honor as a knight of Ostia!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Death count: Alan

*Defeated but still alive

*All non-official FEGBA sprites were made only because of BaconMaster120's FE Character Creator tool; I did not make these portraits from scratch, so huge thanks to them for making this tool free for the public! This also means that any and all portraits that are eyesores are completely my fault, but I probably had a good time making said portraits.

not really, Allen doesn't really double until after promo, and Lance does have a bit worse durability and damage dealing.

IMO, him not doubling pre-promo doesn't matter too much, since Marcus can carry until he promotes.

Marcus' performance doesn't affect how Allance perform as units. Marcus existing does not change their bases, nor growths.

Can't recall any particular deaths like that in New Mystery, but there was the stretch in Binding Blade where I lost Echidna, Treck and Raigh in three maps in a row to low chances. The Roger The Paladin died in TRS to a series of unfortunate events as well. Alvina got crit by a berserked Larentia, and a crit wasn't even guaranteed to kill if it wasn't powerful enough, so there's another one.

Probably forgetting some, but those are the most memorable ones that come to mind.

Honestly? I'd say it's the fact that he starts with his killer axe, so you just do some rescue-dropping shenanigans and never fight him. Or, you get him to swap to his handaxe and then your swordies can destroy him without much trouble. He's very much a Binding Blade boss, don't get me wrong, but he ain't Henning.

Wolt has the highest hitrate and damage. The boss heals four points each turn.

Hoo, boy... I don't remember how I handled him, actually. I had neither Dieck nor Wolt nor Lugh... I must've blocked the misery out of my memory.

Oh, just checked it out. I baited him into tossing handaxes at Wade while Marcus hit him with a sword. Eh. Not bad.

ST ELIMINE THIS BOSS

People give Henning flak in terms of bad bosses, and I always have found it weird that nobody mentions this guy-absurd strength, 11 defense, a Killer Axe, a ton of avoid... His only hole is his low res, but Lugh will need a few HP/Def levels in addition to the Angelic Robe to survive the Hand Axe. With Henning, you'll most certainly have a variety of good units to deal with his bulk and dodginess, but this guy? It's Lugh or bust. And a good Lugh as well.

Just bait him into using his handaxe and stat bashing him in melee with all those good swords (just remember to use the non-Marcus Horses, and pegasus to rescue drop people out of 1 range..).

Wait-

Oh no.

I think Bors may have just died.

You will be fine, just move Marcus 1 to the right and stab the Nomad. Giving the enemies the fort for a turn will be obnoxious, but Dieck has the health to survive, Marcus is healthy enough to survive, and Roy has proven resilient on that fort of his. Wolt will only take one hit, and he definitely can given his stats, the only major risk (for this turn at least, if Marcus gets hit too hard next turn could be tricky) is if you get greedy and try to kill the nomad with a silver hit, and a magic hit and miss (although I doubt you have the damage for that given Lugh's lack of magic).

He's only one point short of defense as compared to what Bors did.

At this rate he will beat out Klein even with the hard mode bonuses... actually let me do a quick comparison...

If Wolt promoted now he would be tied, or beating the original version in everything but luck, and resistance, but with HM bonuses, Wolt is going to need 6 HP, 3 str, 2 skl, 1 spd, 7 lck, and 3 res, although he is already winning in defense (even without promotion bonuses...)

Very kind of you to call it "subtle". Although I have genuinely been wondering if it's possible to carry out a conversations purely with Ancestor quotes.

Curiosity, interest, and obsession — mile markers on my road to damnation.
