Lunatic No Deaths, Recruit Everyone, Low Turn Count Playthrough

[PKL]

Uhhh, why you gonna burn a Rescue use on Bantu?

To save the 3 turns he costs.

[grandjackal]

But now he costs a Rescue staff use. That's hardly a better trade. I mean, why recruit Bantu in the first place? He doesn't even have anything to give, just let the old man rot.

[PKL]

Im going for 100% recruitment. Except for the wolfguard maybe If Im too chicken to handle it xD.

The Wolfguarde at least gives you weapons and don't cost you a Rescue staff.

As a note, the Wolfguarde chapter is not as scary as it looks. All you really have to do is know how to deal with the boss...

[Vorena]

I'm going to guess this got put on the bench for who knows how long.

I'm going to guess this got put on the bench for who knows how long.

I was clearing my huge draft backlog :p. Im done with most of them now and will be focusing on this playthrough soon.

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 7]

I'm back for more.

Last time, I met 5 incompetent characters called Frey Norne Samto Radd and Caesar

and defeated that bulky bastard Lang thanks to the magic of Hax spear.

In this one, I find that a dancer that gets OHKO'd and doubled and an incompetent

swordsman called Navarre are surrounded by thieves with awesome loot. Whatever

will I do?

Well, first I promote Palla.

She's yummy. Her stats, I mean!

Reclassed Sirius to Dracoknight and Caeda to Peggie. Undeployed Radd and Caesar, obviously.

Not much else, except give RP to palla so she can handle the boss.

Here we have Navarre, hes nothing special. He barely escapes getting doubled by the thieves

and gets 2HKO'd. He also 2HKOs them and has a chance to OHKO with KE, which is better than most

characters can claim.

And this here is Feena. She's lovely. Dances, shaves turns and doesnt afraid of...ok, actually,

she gets OHKO'd or ORKO'd by everything but that doesnt matter since Im not bad enough to put her

in combat! At least, I would like to think so.

The Chapter 7 boss looks pretty intimidating, but Palla can handle him, specially with a barrier/

pure water boost.

Navarre cleanly 2HKOs the thief next to them with Killing Edge and might OHKO if he gets a crit off.

As shown in this picture, there is a safe spot that Feena can move to and dance Navarre so he can finish the

thief off. The thief right next to her wont aggro her, he will instead run off with the Master Seal he is

carrying.

Palla gets Barrier'd so she can take on the boss later on.

Palla weakens this thief.

This is how my fliers end the turn.

This fire dragon has 20 spd. So ridiculous.

Thief suicides on Sirius.

Catria weakens this thief...

And Caeda kills it.

Why does Caeda have more str than Catria atm? :( CURSE YOU, CATRIA!

Sirius OHKOs this thief thanks to Silver Lance, Rainbow Pot and the str shard.

Palla moves up and gets danced by Feena...

And kills this hunter with Iron Lance <3.

Marth moves up towards the forest.

Now its time for MU, Ryan and Luke to tag team the dragon. He is scary isnt he?

My Unit attacks first and does 15 damage to him...

Now Luke attacks him with Steel Sword for 12 damage...

And Ryan finishes him off because he would get doubled, otherwise. I could have

risked it and had Luke use Devil sword then Ryan uses the bow forge, saving My Unit

some HP, but i didnt want to risk devil hitting hitting Luke for something so trivial.

Malicia moves towards the injured people so she can heal them.

Caeda is going to weaken the thief this time so Catria is fed the kill...

But she instead crits him >_>

Marth moves up to this spot and Feena dances him from the north.

Sirius weakens this thief then...

and Catria does get the kill this time >_>

Marth moves up again.

The three guys move here so as to get the physic and guard against possible reinforcements.

Speaking of reinforcements, they spawned now.

And they sure dont look as nice as in H1...

Ryan gets me the Physic.

MU moves here and gets healed again. Malicia is out of range.

Im worried about this guy. So, Im going to highlight him.

Marth moves up 2 squares and gets danced again.

Palla cleanly 2HKOs boss with Iron Lance but...

She attacks the hunter first instead so he isnt a threat to my fliers anymore.

Kill this other hunter with Catria.

This thief gets weakened by Caeda...

and marth gets the kill...that couldve gone horribly wrong.

Sirius goes up so he can at least get the Wo Dao next turn.

My Unit gets attacked by this cav and she crits him...and gets str skl lck. Oh well.

Malicia trades Rescue to My Unit and uses Hammerne on it...

and gets this level. Not bad.

My Unit can take one more hit without healing, so good.

Luke finishes off the cavalier.

Sirius OHKOs this thief for the Wo Dao...

Awesome! Definetely makes up for your last level

Catria kills the bolganone mage reinforcement...

or not, but feena dances her and she tries again and succeeds.

Nice, she reached Silver Lances. Maybe she will pull her weight now.

Since Palla OHKOs the boss thief even with javelin, I decided to just give Caeda a bit more

exp but not the boss kill because its impossible. Shes at no risk of death anyway.

Palla finishes him off...

I LOVE YOU PALLA. Wait, why are you getting spd?

And thats it, Marth seizes for a 5 turn clear before things get ugly. Im sad that I couldnt

get the free robe, but hey, theres still the Lunatic statboosters If I need them. I also

missed the Master Seal.

Ah, I will fix it now. And It was more like, wondering why shes getting so much spd. Im definetely not complaining :p.

[Jedi]

You and your flyers... haha Catria has less strength then Sheeda Cadea? Lol she must be backlashing against your "dislike" of her =P

Man, I'm not looking forward to doing Chapter 7...

[spoiler=Chapter 8 Part 1]

Last time, I killed some thieves and got a dancer. This time, I recruit some scrubs

and realize how amazing my Ryan is.

This is Cain. Joins rather late to the party, unfortunately.

This trap is pretty good. Make sure whoever you use to kill the thief can get out of here or can survive heroes...

I choose Ryan for this. He can OHKO this thief barely thanks to RP + a shard and the forge. So good.

Overkill Str right now. Looking good Ryan.

Leo is obtained for more overkill OHKO'ing from ryan, yep.

Feena dances Ryan and gets this level...

And gets this level. I question the logic of a 60% hp growth not proc'ing but a 15% def growth proc'ing but w/e. Random RNG is random. Anyway, she danced Ryan so he could get out of range of the heroes and do this...

Ryan, trivializing thieves in a very peculiar way since 2012.

Marth moves towards Bantu's village to recruit him in Turn 2.

I place Catria here and have her unequipped so that Roger goes for her and doesnt get killed. She can take a hit from Roger and a Javelin Paladin if needed thanks to cancer shard.

Palla moved up there and equipped Steel Lance. I deployed gordin so he could talk to Jeorge and recruit him. Cavalier so he can reach him faster and safely.

Cain, having nothing better to do, buys me a hammah for future hammertime.

This is how my units are placed at the end of turn 1.

Roger goes for Catria as planned...

And the 3 paladins die to Palla in EP and almost leave her dead. Not cool man, not cool.

In turn 2, marth goes and recruits Bantu. As you can probably see...hes very smelly. BENCH

Caeda recruits Roger. He's only good in H1 imo, when grinded in the base arena as a pirate then reclassed to Dracoknight to take advantage of his nice lance rank. Hes unsalvageable here.

Palla is afraid of these snipers.

I decide to have Malicia heal palla, later on, I found out this was a dumb move since she never got hurt again...oh well. Think positive and just pretend that was to give Malicia some more exp...

Malicia now gets danced by Feena.

Gordin moves here and Malicia moves behind him and saves the game. MU is placed there to protect Gordin and to lure the snipers, she can barely take them both on. Luke is there to attract that general to him instead of MU.

This is how my positioning looks at the end of Turn 2.

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 8 Part 2]

Luke gets attacked by the General and...

Oh God...

MU barely survives the snipers and now I either seize this turn or die. Pretty much.

Mu attacks the longbow sniper. Gordin moves up 2 spaces and gets danced by Feena and he recruits Jeorge.

Catria finishes the Longbow sniper now.

And gets thisl level. Not bad.

Its hard to tell but Ryan used Killer bow to kill a random general there.

Sirius moves and trades Leo from ryan...

So he can now KO this general.

Palla moves here and weakens the Silver Bow sniper further...

:( Not cool palla. Not cool. But you are practically carrying me through lunatic right now, so all is forgiven.

I made a weird formation with all my units so Malicia could move and rescue Marth and he instantly teleports to that tile so hes now in seize range. Pro skills. Also, FINALLY AN AMAZING LEVEL FROM MALICIA. I guess she wanted to reward my rescue shenanigans.

So pro.

Caeda gets the Silver bow and the final kill of the map...

Oh god. Better than Catria 10/10.

And that's all. Marth seizes in Turn 3 thanks to my pro rescue shenanigans.

[Vorena]

lol I remember you disliking that Steel Bow forge earlier, but its been helping out quite a bit.

[dondon151]

The thief actually runs out of range of the enemy heroes, so you can actually just send a scrub like draco Arran after him and you'll be totally fine.

Yeah, I guess he can javelin and then Silver Lance. Wouldnt the mage reinforcement cause problems to Arran tho?

[dondon151]

no, because i've never had a problem with that

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 9 Part 1]

In order for my strategy to work, I need 3 snipers. I currently have 2 and Ryan.

Sadly, Hunters cant move through rivers so Ryan will have to promote.

I send Ryan to the base arena and he battles once.

So bro.

Now he promotes and reclasses to Sniper.

Luke also promotes and reclasses to Swordmaster for dat speed.

I stuffed Julian full of whatever item I found first before the chapter. Julian moves

to the right and Feena dances him so he can get the Boots and send it to the convoy for marth.

He will also get the Shard which is really important.

This Dracoknight is intimidating.

But MU/Catria can lure it so Ryan can snipe him.

Caeda weakens this thief. Thanks to Leo shard, a javelin from her and a Steel Sword from Marth later

will finish him off. This has the benefit of getting Marth some exp and the thief staff of course.

Malliesia barriers Palla. This is a must, otherwise Palla can't rush as much as I need her to.

Luke moves here with Wo Dao equipped. Thanks to the crit and doubling, his chances of ORKO'ing Dracoknights is pretty good.

He could ORKO naturally with Devil Sword, but that is too risky for my tastes.

Palla is SO GOOD.

End of Turn 1. Yeah, I deployed Jeorge thinking he would be needed.

Luke doesnt just crit once. He crit twice. That's how awesome he is. Completely overkill.

Ouch. MU lures the intimidating Draco and lives to tell of it.

This is why Ryan is the best. Doesnt even require the forge or silver <3.

Sirius requires the forge but still bro.

Palla dun need no forges or bows. She ORKOs even with WTD. What would I do without

Palla, the Warrior Goddess?

Julian gets Boots and sends it to the convoy.

And Marth EATS IT.

Feena dances Marf and he keeps moving...

Hah! The odds are in my favor, jerk.

Maturity Drop <3.

Caeda is the best thief softener.

MU took a beating, so Malliesia heals her.

She now moves here with Javelin equipped to lure that mage and kill it. Etzel also moves towards her in EP

which is all according to plan.

Catria gets to kill a thief Caeda weakened.

In EP, Elena kills the mage with Javelin.

And Etzel and the mages move towards her.

Ryan moves here now so he can lure one of the mages and kill it.

Palla dun care about no bolganone.

Sirius luring another one of the mages so it doesnt go for Palla.

Healing Palla for 8 HP, maybe not wisest of choices, but I like to be cautious.

Using Physic was WORTH IT.

I move my pegs towards Marth to lure Etzel. They're out of range though.

A capricorn stone thingy, I wonder what this does?

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 9 Part 2]

Sirius counters this mage.

Lol, Ryan dodged and crit in return. So good.

Palla dodged the DK and ORKO'd with silver lance. Dodge wasnt needed though.

WARRIOR GODDESS.

Turn 4 Player Phase

Marth gets Minerva. Shes pretty bro. Hauteclere at base, C lances for Dragonpike, flight, nice bases. Will definetely get a spot in my team.

Ryan prepares to lure another mage. The earlier dodge and crit wasnt needed because he could take another hit with vulnerary. Also, snipers have an EP!

Sirius finishes off the mage he countered in EP.

Not that bad thanks to spd.

Palla ORKOs one of the swarm bishops with Javelin <3.

Speedwing get. Probably going to Minerva since Palla seems to like proc'ing spd this run.

Luke moves here to take the swarm for palla. Malliesia moved next to him and healed him.

Marth is out of range of Etzel but not out of the range of the mage. Not a problem though, he can take the hit.

Luke takes the swarm so that WARRIOR GODDESS can stay healthy. She doesnt like magic.

Ryan has an EP guys.

As if he needed Parthia. It boosts his attack even more though :D.

Ouch.

Marth recruits Elieson. Pretty nice bases. Can use excalibur. Pretty solid unit. Will see use as a staffbot and an EP excalibur nuke against wyverns in chapter 11.

Caeda protects her loved one. She's totally the man in the relationship.

Elieson takes advantage of the situation and heals marth to get his staff rank up. That cunning bastard.

Minerva gets in range of the last thief.

Moar WARRIOR GODDESS ownage.

Luke goes up and Malicia heals him again and obviously goes up with him.

Fed the thief Minerva weakened in EP to Catria.

I swear she's trolling me at this point.

Luke is amaze.

OH NOW YOU SELL ME PURE WATERS DONT'CHA? RIGHT AFTER IM DONE WITH A MAP FULL OF BOLGANONE MAGES THAT ALMOST OHKO MY CHARACTERS! /rant

Elieson still taking advantage of the situation.

Marth warps all the way here D: Must be some kinda weird magic thingy

Nvm weird magic thingy. Marth can now SEIZE!

[spoiler=Chapter 10]

Promoted MU before the chapter and reclassed her to dracoknight. Why? You'll see why.

These guys sure pack a punch o_o. Ryan destroys him anyway.

<3

Palla barely reaches the sniper in the closest tile and needs an RP to use to double him or the scorpio. She couldnt have scorpio though since Caeda needed it.

GODDESS. Now get some lck and def plz.

This is why Caeda needed the Scorpio. This prick is fast and 20 spd cap wasnt enough. Scorpio cheats and breaks caps because its amazing.

Did you and Catria switch growths?

Yeah, Luke is a sniper so he can ORKO this other jerk.

Used Thief on Bullion. Dont judge, I like my money.

IRON MALICIA.

Feena dances for Marth. Caeda must be getting jealous by now

Feena's levels are always amazing.

Minerva is amazing.

This is why Elena promoted. She barely OHKOs this mage with Silver Lance thanks to those promo gains.

Catria killed a cleric for a tiny bit of exp.

I end turn by having Wendell trade MU's Silver lance for an iron lance and Merric unequipping excalibur so Ellerean doesnt get crit.

I have a feeling Merric and Ellerean dont get along...

Ha...ha...hahaha...OMG Catria is awful

Generic Merc #8000 vanishes from this world because GODDESS WARRIOR didnt like him.

Maybe earlypromoting Elena wasnt such a good idea...oh well. If you can't tell, shes having trouble doubling things.

Wendell recruits Angry mage. Hes awful and I dont like him at all. So yeah, dont expect me to use him unless Im desperate for another potential excalibur user. Which is unlikely with Wendell Merric and Etzel around.

Caeda weakens this guy so Minerva can kill him...

Whoops. No Generic Merc #8001 kill for Minerva today!

Tis ok Minerva. You can practice skewering clerics with your lance instead.

WARRIOR GODDESS breaks this game

More cleric smashing.

Malicia is kind enough to heal Ryan.

So Ryan can keep shooting mages.

This was an attempt at giving Catria a bit more exp by having her chip with a javelin...she MISSED.

Over already?

[spoiler=Chapter 10x]

Before the chapter, I gave a bunch of shard to Palla and a Rainbow pot use to her. Reclassed Ryan to Swordmaster. Before we begin, I would like to share how to know which Roro is the real one for those unaware of it. Go to View Map select a random enemy in the map that isnt the top 3 roros. Now press next unit until one of the 3 top roros is highlighted. The one that is highlighted first is the real one. Note: If the real Roro is the middle top one, you cannot 1 turn it

Shin's mortal enemy. He sucks.

Elena weakens this Roro...

And Ryan kills him.

Luke weakens this other Roro...

And Marth takes the kill.

Seems like overkill, right? But all of those shards are actually neccesary o_o

Feena dances her so she can reach Roro

I chose Iron Axe over a lance or Paladin Lady Sword because she would get OHKO'd if he crits as a paladin or as a dracoknight with a lance. With an axe, even if he crits, she barely survives and can still ORKO him.

GG Roro

Im worried about her luck. But still a WARRIOR GODDESS

Oh wow, Chapter 11 is gonna be a tough cookie. 22 spd swordmasters with forged master swords and 20 spd wyverns with 1-2 range ;_;. What Im planning is, promoting everyone, having Excalibur Etzel rush to rescue Marth, while my forged Dragonpike Dracoknights take care of business. Those swordmasters and the hunters and killer axe barbarians are making life difficult though...I doubt I can go for a 5 or 6 turn in this mode. Also, is there anyone still following this?

[eclipse]

Absolutely. NOT.

Sorry, I'm not home, but I do find this interesting. If Catria's giving you that much grief, why not drop her?

[Strunk]

I'm still reading this, although I shouldn't be, considering I haven't actually played the game yet.
