How is using only 3 units in Lyn's Story "optimal"?
BBM replied to Just call me AL's topic in Fire Emblem
you can't rely on her dodging though, is my point. also, half the enemies in the game once she re-joins in Chapter 15 use lances lol. who is she fighting if not them? mages and archers that she can't counter on EP? mercs/myrms who have good hit and she probably can't dodgetank very effectively against? -
How is using only 3 units in Lyn's Story "optimal"?
BBM replied to Just call me AL's topic in Fire Emblem
the point is that you don't need to have the highest stats, you just need to have stats that are good enough. Kent and Sain don't have HP/DEF as high as Oswin, but they're still bulky enough to survive at least 3-4 hits a turn, and Lyn isn't. They don't double everything like Lyn does maybe, but they still double 90% of units, which Oswin can't. And because their STR is much better and they use better weapon types, the amount of units that they can ORKO is much greater than the ones that Lyn can ORKO. And they do it all with 2 more move, meaning they can get to units before Lyn does and you can control their positioning better. And they have 1-2 range, which Lyn never gets, not even after promotion. i'm also not sure why you think dodgetanking is preferable to regular tanking. If Lyn needs to dodge a hits at 25% to survive for example, sure those are good odds but 1/4 times you'll still need to restart because she died. With regular tanking, I can calculate to know exactly how much danger I'm putting my units in so I know exactly how many units I can safely expose them to- whereas with dodgetanking it's a random variable with variance. Lyn's crit also comes from the Mani Katti mostly; SKL differences are just a couple points of crit. Relying on crit introduces variance again, and relying on the MK too much for non-armor/cav enemies will deplete it quickly. And most armor/cav enemies equip lances, so she has WTD against them and can't dodgetank reliably. She's perfectly usable still; everyone is. But her stats are just worse. she doesn't kill things as well as any of those other units, especially without the MK, and she doesn't survive as well either, no matter how much you want to pump up dodgetanking. Yes you can give her Silver weapons, but now you're going out of your way to favour her so that she can pick up kills that Kent/Sain/Florina could have achieved with Iron and Steel weapons. btw Lloyd's version of FFO on Hector's mode has him stand out in the middle of the map. so with some experience or just some trial and error if you're new, you can beat that chapter in 2 turns quite easily. If you're trying to play quickly (not even LTC, just quickly), Lloyd's map is a better choice. -
you nominate people to get selected and if they get selected you get to ask them questions

when did you get into speedrunning? I didn't realize this was something you were so in to inb4 you've been doing it all along
-
tbh if she could believably pass off as a 33-year old looks-wise I respect it
-
any crazy dates you've gone on since the last time you were in the Well and I asked you this question?
-
Yeah I agree I shouldn't have made the comment and I didn't after that to others when I realized it had caused Via to change his pick. @via- idrt there was a problem with your play other than that you couldn't keep up with the activity cuz of irl stuff. but if you feel that you play better with certain roles then take those roles I guess. @kirsche- that's fair I guess but it wouldn't have worked if Beast hadn't been venge-killed.

1) I know you don't believe me but I honestly didn't mean to influence you in any way by saying "I thought you would pick Amnesiac". I didn't say it because I didn't like that you picked Insomniac; I said it because I know you like Amnesiac and was expecting you to take it. I would have said the same thing if you'd picked Networker or Hooker or Follower. I know that it did influence you into switching your pick and I'm sorry that it ended up in you being a Vanilla. 2) I'm not saying you should 100% serious business but there's a balance between that and taking a role that isn't very good just because you don't want to be a Vanilla. shrug. 3) The comment wasn't aimed just at you; it was also aimed at Refa, Gaius, and to a lesser extent Bartozio.

But you're only clearing them if they're the last scum left. If that's not the case then you're probably just targeting a townie and potentially messing up their role.
