I didn't want to make this post until I finished VoD but I'm going out so I should do it.
Chapter 29x - Battle Preparations
Team: Eliwood, Lowen, Dorcas, Serra, Kent, Isadora, Heath, Nino, Jaffar, Vaida
This is the standard "get preparations and destroy the arena" set-up for trying to maximize Exp. I stocked up on a lot of Silver weapons but I tried to keep my cash above 25k so that I can buy a Physic and Ocean Seal/Fell Contract in VoD to make sure that I don't screw up Funds. Dorcas and Jaffar were my big arena users but Eliwood, Nino, Heath and Kent all got a shot at fighting too. Looks like I'm fielding Lowen and Kent in the next chapter, though.
Eliwood 4.00 |42|15|20|15|14|15|13|
Lowen 11.31 |29| 9|10|11| 5|12| 1|
Dorcas 11.51 |38|13| 9| 8| 8| 8| 1|
Serra 18.09 |32|10| 8|13|17| 4|13|
Kent 10.90 |29| 9|11|10| 6| 8| 4|
Isadora 2.70 |29|13|12|16|11| 9| 6|
Heath 5.47 |47|21|19|15|10|13| 5|
Nino 4.80 |34|16|23|21|21|10|21|
Jaffar 17.61 |37|19|28|25|10|17|12|
Vaida 9.00 Base
Chapter stats:
Tactics - 6/5
Exp - 616/0
Run stats:
Tactics - 279/321 (5 stars)
Exp - 35389/32150 (5 stars)
OK, here's the story. I need 41300 or 413 levels for the 5 stars. I currently have 353.89 levels. If I round that off to 354 levels, I'm still missing 59 levels in 2 chapters (one with multiple 20/20 bosses). This is going to be really tight. I called it back in like chapter 15 and I'm saying it again now.
The good news is that I get Nils next chapter. The bad news is that he's sitting at 19.19 since I spammed Ninian earlier. Shit.
