Chapter 11: Chocolate Kills a Tyrant and Brings Peace, More At 11 LONG POST!

Well, time to make it more emotional. I enjoy Fire Emblem Awakening Lunatic mode, but I never completed Lunatic+ for the 2 1/2 years I owned it. I dropped Fire Emblem Awakening for a while in 2017. By accident, I stumbled onto the translated drama CDs summaries. I liked what the second CD was about. I watched it. That CD was hella beautiful, but it was this part in particular: ...That made me go: "I want to do a Lunatic run with all of these guys. Except Virion because he wasn't fighting. But Henry? Sure why not? He technically was fighting too. I pull it off with avatar Sushi in a Lunatic run. I wondered if I could also pull it off in Lunatic+, so I get help from one of the best Lunatic+ players ever, @Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi to help me guide this team of losers scrubs to victory. No kids, not even Lucina. I pulled it off in Lunatic+ Casual. I want to do the same in classic, but I wanted to do a playlog as I enjoyed seeing the playlogs here. So here I am, doing a fun challenge for y'all to see. Hope my fun continues to ooze onto this thread! PS: Virion is a pain in the booty to train up in Lunatic, it's not easier here.

The chapter 10 level ups:

Chapter 10: ...

Yeah, well Emm is dead now, so Chrom gotta start charging! Most likely didn't account for Nos. Thanks to a renown Robe, tonics, and good Freddy support. It all goes to hell when she starts supporting Henry, though. I like those sounds. Let's do eeeeeetttt!

Paralogue 2: Villages Seriously Need Bandit Insurance...

Chapter 9: Why Does Everyone Try to Die?!?!? Long Post!

Inigo and Severa should both replace Sol with Vengeance.

Chapter 8: How is No One Sweating in This Chapter???? Long post!

Chapter 7: I Forgot How Most of it Went, But It Was Mostly Chocolate Clearing the Plegians... It has been a while. I got distracted by a lot of things, but I'm back for now! Unfortunately, Stahl was not strong enough with a Kellam B support to wield the Wyvern killer sword. Thanks to Panne pairup, Gaius could at least double the Wyverns, but he couldn't take the ones that had Counter. Unfortunately, most of them did have it, and Gaius could not get a level up... (....Hey, is he paired up with Stahl????) Choclate cleared the army in the valley and most of the wyverns: Level ups: I'm worried about Stahl's strength and speed and Sumia's defense... GOALS: Gaius with a good stat increase? NOPE! Cordelia safe? YUP! PS, I'm really glad I did save the chapter 7 images on Imgur when I did it 3 months ago! PSS: I'm gonna write down in a diary what happens in the successful chapter completion so I can better know what to say.

That reads like fun! Imma try a high deploy, ironman mode for Lunatic. File is deleted if Chrom or Robin die or if I try to reset. Imma go for my usual rules: No DLC/grind No bonus box No barracks or sparklies (unless I HAVE to be on that tile) Renown to 1000 Will add that I can't go to Anna shops!

What is ironman mode anyways?

Will you do another ironman run?

This. Though, I also really liked the characters, even those I don't care for are interesting in their own way.

I'm so sorry I forgot about this run! I fell off of Awakening for a while. I do want to complete this run and prove I can handle Lunatic+ Classic! I am slowly getting back to Awakening, so maybe soon.

Basically, real men wear pink. Cool!

Sorry for the hiatus, I got caught up with the World Cup and other games. I shouod get back to the game in a few days.

Chapter 6: One of the Few Defend maps Finals were awful.... I knew "Marth" was a lady. I knew back in Smash Brawl, yo! This is a hard map. Pass is an absolute pain here! I couldn't use my go-to Lunatic strategy as there aren't enough characters on one side to block off the Pass mooks. So I sent Chromlate to the left and recurit Gaius onthe second turn, then safely killing the left side. I put Freddy/Sumia and Stahl/Kellam on the right with Miriel. Stahl fought any Fighters, Freddy fought Cavs, with Sumia helping out against DMs. LONG TERM GOAL FOR GAIUS: Marry Tharja ASAP, get to lvl 10 ASAP, get him SS'd to Myrmidom (because it actually gives him more STR). It is extremely unlikely he'll be able to even scratch Grima, even with the coolest swords. He'll only do damage if he gets Swordfaire, and that's too hard to get on him and takes needed exp from the front. I could attempt Tiki and Endgame paralogues to train him up. His bonuses are hella good though, they're exactly what Tharja wants!

Doesn't 4 combat pairs mean 8 characters though? Even supporters, especially Chrom since he gets a significant more killing hits early on?

I dunno. Czar Yoshi does those GF runs. He also tried to convince me how they are more reliable than the Nosferatu runs I'm doing...

Oh no wonder, I'm not using kids, so that's why I take a bit longer for GF.

I totally forgot to talk about something and that is: WHAT ARE MY LONG TERM GOALS FOR MY CHARACTERS??? General benchmarks for Grima: -Anyone attacking to achieve 55 Atk or more (it may actually be 53 ATK minimum). This is easier for those in the front as support bonuses rule. Since he has good STR growths, great Lance rank, and the Gungnir, Stahl has an easier time than Sumia and Gaius. Sumia can achieve it if she can get at least 34 MAG after tonics and rally if she holds Valflame. So Sumia just needs at least 28 MAG, not impossible, but probably hard. Gaius has a difficult time getting to this goal as there is no +5 STR sword I know of, meaning Gaius needs over 30 STR (before tonics and rally) to just dent Grima. I usually don't bother. -Front hitters to achieve 50 or more SPD. Grima has 45 SPD. This is why Chrom, Stahl, Sumia, Gaius are supporters as all can provide +SPD as soon as they join. Team Scrub benchmarks (for those on the team so far) : Chocolate: -Always be ahead in stats against the enemies of that chapter. If she can one round enemies at this point, I'm good. She totally is. -Get Gladforce as soon as possible. My low end is before chapter 17, high end is before chapter 19. Since I use a lot of combat characters, my avatar doesn't go Tact 20 -> DM10+ ->Sorc 15 to DF until at least after chapter 12, where there is conveniently an SS. Chapter 19 is a nightmare on Lunatic+, but becomes eaiser if there is at least a GF user. Chrom: - Stay in a class where he can use his Falchion. -Pretty sure he should have 15 STR and at least 25 SKL to do accurate, minimal damage to Grima (after factoring in Charm, Hexthema, Solitary, everyone next to Chocolate). -Damage as hard as possible. Cram gettin' them late Energy Drops and Secret Books if needed! Lissa: -Get Rally MAG ASAP. Extra MAG always welcomed. -Get Rally SPD ASAP, preferably before Henry joins. While it is always helpful, Henry has a much eaiser time getting going if he has Lissa rallying him with it. Frederick: -Keep Chocolate alive in early chapters. -Try to S support Lissa. Without tiles, this is harder to do. I should make her Resuce Freddy here and there. Stahl: -Maintain good STR and SKL. - Get Defender as soon as possible. Paladin bonuses are sexy, Defender makes them sexier. Sumia: -Maintain good MAG. Easy in the maingame up until Grima as most enemies have garbage RES. -Be a DF before chapter 13. DF bonuses are what Henry wants to be decent in his joining chapter. -Get Gladforce ASAP. Low end is before chapter 20, high end is before chapter 23. I may get it on Sumia before then, but that's only if I show her some favoritism.... Maybe.... Yes, I can even get GF on Sumia in this Lunatic+ highman run. Maribelle: -Get Rally RES before chapter 17, where the magic users begin to be less restricted in their movement, are promoted, and ride horses. - I could find her a husband, but most maps only allow up to 13 people, making it hard for Maribelle to find a husband. If only she could S support Lissa or Olivia...

....Or in my case where only ONE appeared so far (actually in chapter 8 now)... With the best thing being an Energy Drop... Doesn't a second seal appear in chapter 12, though? That's when I used it in my first (highman) Lunatic+ run. I was training up some characters, so Robin wasn't able to SS until late chapter 12.

Is Vaike considered for training simply because he can immediately use Hand Axes? Kellam can use Javelins but he isn't considered? Totally get why Virion, Gaius and Gregor aren't considered, though. Besides Robin (who should try to get the renown Second Seal instead), who else should prioritize it? I don't see why not giving it to Panne if no one else would use it.
