[FE10] draft playthru!

[Psych]

As soon as I figure how to get through the mess of 1-F I'll finish my part 1 recap and things.

I already know I just want Vantage, Parity and the Speedwing, but ledges and archers and Volug's lack of range are starting to bug me. >_>

The good news at least for me, is I thought I'd have to grab the Nullify and Energy Drop and kill Ludvek with just Elincia and Leanne, but then I remembered I get Lethe for 2-F too, and Astrid and Kieran come in later as well.

[Integrity]

You do, I did.

4-5: 3 turns clear

Cheers Soul for the idea. Mordecai Smote Tibarn and gave Celerity exactly the edge to get there in two turns sans Reyson.

Izuka, on turn 3, decided to summon instead of Rewarping. Not that it matters.

Have you tried giving Pass to Volug and having him shove ledge blocking enemies out of the way?

[Psych]

Sothe was the one with Pass, since his knives were helping with the archers and grabbing chests faster than the other thieves.

I suppose with Volug having Pass I could try a variation of my normal Nailah strategy. I planned on keeping Pass with the DB anyway. Ilyana having Cerelity though is pretty fun.

[Zanarkin]

Lt the thieves grab a few chest, then steal them or just kill the theves.

[Psych]

I only want those treasures. The thieves can have the Card, Coin, and Unlock.

Volug going up the ledges didn't work out so hot, so I'm gonna try him with Pass up the right now.

[Junkhead]

I am the bone of my sword.

[Zanarkin]

I liked trying to do this fast, I want to do another draft,

[Junkhead]

Not yet. Give it some time until everyone either finishes, or ragequits. Maybe a few months will do, so it doesn't get redundant and a little boring.

So wha happened to your littl "break" of your last draft?

[Zanarkin]

... Well.... hmmmm... I ummm.... I gave up in 4-4 when i found it impossible not to take penalty for the LEA. Then came this draft, and i decided to use royals to finish the last save and make a clear data for this.

[Junkhead]

That sounds fair. But it was kinda sad alot of people had to ragequit the last draft. Even more sad were the excuses they put, like..."I'll play it when I get my interest in FE back".

[Zanarkin]

Well, when the RNG rapes you so hard, you sort of start to lose interest in the game... I know that happened to me, plus the fact that playing with animations on takes even longer is just brutal. Something i did not do this time, which contributes to me beating this thing faster than i have before.

[Lilmik11]

2-3:9+3 turns. I love Makalov, He saved me a few time because I never realised how Geoffey was fragile.

2-E:2 turns. Hahaha, so glad I picked Haar.

Edited December 31, 2010 by Lilmik11

[Junkhead]

You could have 1-turned if you gave him the Speedwings. Well, doesn't matter. It was still pretty fast.

Anyway, I think I should do one of those character commentary thingies people do when they beat their draft playthrough, like Integ did the last time.

[Integrity]

4-E-1: 5 turns clear

Could maybe have been 4, but I'm happy with the result.

4-E-2: 2 turns clear

wat

4-E-3: 3 turns clear

Caineghis, Tibarn, Mordecai, and Caineghis again tag-teamed Dheggie. Dheggie himself was a motherfucker who required some battle saving because he procced Ire SIX CONSECUTIVE TIMES on Tibarn. Fuk dat.

4-E-4: 2 turns clear

Shoving is . Cap STR/SPD Caineghis 1RKOs Seph perfectly.

4-E-5: 4 turns clear

I'll write the summary in a sec.

IKE B:303 W:210 2nd Place

What's to say? Ike was the Ike Ike always is. Bitch did his work and didn't afraid of anything.

MICAIAH W:49

I didn't use Mic as heavily as I usually do, but she still found a niche even in Endgame Thaniing Generals. Plus, it's not like I drafted her, so I'd say she was good for what I paid.

MORDECAI W:67

Mordecai was a pretty good draft, all told. His gauge hurt me more than I anticipated, and he didn't help for shit in P2, but all in all I was happy with his performance.

CAINEGHIS W:16

Same as last draft, really. He's a ...beast.

SOTHE B:275 W:178 4th Place

Sothe performed well above and beyond the call of duty. He was beset by his typical P4 failure, but everything before that was pure gold.

SAINT LAURA OF KISCA B:218 W:191 3rd Place

<3

My strategy with Laura actually ended up working. I'm happy. To recap, Laura was main tank on:

3-12, 3-13, 4-P, 4-3, 4-E-1, 4-E-3

Fuck yes.

VIKA B:31

I'm torn on whether or not Vika was a good draftee. I'm leaning towards no, honestly.

TITANIA B:365 W:254 MVP

MVP and with reason. Titania was absolutely essential to everything I did, and the only problems were 3-4 and 4-4 'cos ledges. Otherwise? Yeah.

TIBARN B:118 W:90 5th Place

BARNBARN! Barnbarn did what I hoped, and maybe a little less. He was essential in every chapter he was in, but that wasn't many. On the other hand, the face that he was in 7 chapters and still got 5th place ...

GEOFFREY W:43

Geoffrey was a pretty good draft. He was solid everywhere he was and, very notably, saved me about eight turns just by being in my pocket because I didn't take penalties for the CRK chapters. Combined with solid-but-not-incredible E performance, Geoffrey was tiiiiiight.

GARETH W:2

Yeah, k. Blood Tide was very handy for E-5 and Gareth *actually* (I am not fucking joking) killed a Spirit to allow my 2-turn E-4 clear. Seriously.

GL, HF all who follow!

I would love to see Mordecai's 88 Def/40 Res when transformed. That means just TINKED him.

But, once again, congratulations. Your way of handling Laura was truly impressive.

Fixed. I was putting down untransformed stats and missed those :P

[Junkhead]

Recap!?

Ike: LolIke.

Micaiah: She was hardly useful in Part 1. She served me well for earlygame chipping before Sothe came along. But, I must say, after that, in Part 3, she shined as a decent combatant. Then in Part 4; Chapter, she was insane. She doubled and 1RKO'd a few 21 AS Wyerns, and 2HKO'd every other enemy not a Magic user. At Endgame, she served as my primary and only healer. As always, I bothered getting her to her max level. 8)

Sothe: I hate this guy, but that never, ever deluded me from knowing how great of a unit he is. He ruled in Part 1. He was one of the main reasons I got to pull the best Part 1 turn-count. Then I stopped using him after 3-6 (not including the treasure-hunting in 4-3).

Sanaki: I love and adore her as a character. Very, very much. But, as I said with Sothe, that doesn't bias me into thinking she is a great unit, or even a decent one, for that matter. But she had an outstanding performance for being a mage. She was very important for the desert clearing. I am really glad I have given her all of the statboosters I spared for her.

Nailah: Woof, woof, woof! Very helpful for all the chapters she has been in. If it weren't for her, I would've eaten alot more turns. An excellent Endgame candidate, with the only obvious problem being lack of 2-range.

Edward: Along with Sothe, he was the main reason I never had to take earlygame penalties, or any penalties at all for the DB chapters. NM is really nice with him. You can raise him pretty damn fast, and then promote him so he can own in maps, along with Sothe. Very useful for the DB.

Heather: Wowie, this babe was fundamental for Part 3, for I would've had to use only Ike and Lyre to go through maps. And that would be a huge pain. Basically, she is to me what Laura is for Integ. Although, I must say. The bad thing about her is...she isn't meant to be a combat unit. She is stuck to knives, so you'll HAVE to give her Adept, and maybe a Crit-based knife forge later on, to make up for her crappy Str. I had to use Blossom sometimes to deal with her Str.

Danved: He had low avaibility, but, like Nailah, he at least helped me shave off some turns at the chapters he was available. In Part 4, he payed out nicely. Even though his 33 AS wasn't so handy for Endgame, the Brave lance made up for his doubling issues. But it's not like doubling mattered much, as Endgame goes by SO fast. He could double enemies reliable up to 4-E-3, before those little balls came. And when dealing with Auras, the Brave lance + Parity made his offense considerable.

Lyre: Getting her own tier at the tier list, Lyre is literally, the worst unit in FE10. But with the chunk of BEXP NM mode offers you, you can fix her offense and durability issues. Little by little. It helped alot that I threw Blossom level-ups on her. Once she reached a SS-ranked strike, level 30, and given Rend- You have a Mini Nailah.

Tanith and Sigrun: You know, this is the first time I ever trained a FE10 pegasus knight seriously. I was highly amazed by their prowess at Part 4...especially Micaiah's route, since flying is so important there. You can support them together, give them Adept, and then throw then into a bunch of enemies without worrying. I was very eager to see what these two would do, and they have surpassed my expectations...by far. I pulled the same turn-counts with them that I did with Haar and Jill on the same route, on HM. I qualify Tanith as a Mini Haar, and Sigrun as a Mini Tanith.
