I was worried that'd be the case. Legit, I appreciate you giving me the cold, hard truth. That might not even be enough, unless I"m lucky enough to dodge some enemies, enfeebles, and Takumi doesn't get healed by the units near him during enemy phase. Were I to start another run, where would you say the best place to go for advice on how to have the most optimal lunatic classic run is?
Lunatic club is good and Zoran recently did some excellent video's on some safe early Odin strats.
If you have a brave axe and trained BeArthur he can kill taco at base btw. Misfortune makes taco attack him before any other enemy moves for an EP kill. Doesn't has a full write up on this in the lunatic club.
Edit: If you've got invasions or paralouges open we can potentially build a taco slayer ex pz

Appreciate it! Correct me if I"m wrong, but it definitely seems like the left path is best route to take when trying to ferry Corrin up to Takumi. I'm wondering if reclassing him to a Paladin by nickel and diming it for another heart seal might be best, since the 8 move would help Nina move 10 speed rather than just 9, making it easier to get to Takumi. Also, though he can't use the Dragonstone + if he does that, it's only a couple atk points stronger than the shadow Yato, and the shadow yato doesn't have its strength reduced with each use.
I've tried to get to Takumi twice, and the problem I'm finding is that I'm two spaces away from him by the time i get there, either on turn two or three. Also, the one carrying Corrin (Nina in this case,) tends to die during the enemy phase of either turn 2 or 3. Camillia's got the boots, so she'd also move 10 if paired up with Paladin Corrin, she might be able to reach Takumi if rescued with Nina's rescue staff user. One thing that's causing me problems is Elise is the only one with a high enough staff rank to use an entrap staff. My other three stave wielders aren't at B rank, so I can't move away as many units from the path as I'd like. This means I may have to hope Nina with the rescue bot is enough to get Corrin and Camillia over to the boss, as I only can move one unit away from their path.
Percy does have defense rally, but since he has 8 mov compared to Camilla and Nina's 9, he's not quite fast enough to keep up with them. If I had only retained at least 2 rescue staff uses, I'd be in good shape.
If I need to tank a couple enemies in the back, Camilla's also the only one with a half-decent chance of actually surviving, which keeps Corrin from having to absorb all those enfeeble hits from the staff wielders near Takumi.
A turn 2 attack, however, is made difficult by the fact Takumi charges his super move at the end of enemy phase on turn 1, which means even if Corrin and Camilla make it to the back, they'll lose half HP once they get there. If I can get close enough on turn 2, maybe I should have her attack first with the forged killer ax or that berserker ax, although she'd absolutely die in that round, since Takumi is using a bow.
UPDATE: I was able to get Paladin Corrin paired up with Nina 1 space from Takumi on turn 2... And he only does 18 damage with no chance to crit. Even with Dragon Fang, he only gets up to 43, 42 damage on Takumi. He simply can't last enemy phase, because there are a bunch of silver shuriken ninjas up there and the enfeeble staffs and draconic hex bring him down enough to kill him during turn 2 enemy phase. He'd have to last long enough for Takumi to attack and either kill him on the counter or make it to turn 3, but even then, that would require another dragon fang proc and might not even be enough because he's weekend. The only thing I can think of that might possibly work is if I'm able to get Camilla up there somehow, but she has to haul Izana over to rescue Nina and Corrin to get them close enough to be rescued. Maybe I could dance Elise with Azura somehow, give her enough time to entrap a unit AND rescue Nina, maybe giving Camilla a chance to reach Takumi? But I'm not sure if she has the move to get there. This run may well be a wash. I think shifting Corrin to a Great Knight gives him a few extra points of strength, but I still don't think it would be enough to kill Takumi. I could try ferrying someone like Xander over there instead, and he is quite strong. But since he doesn't have enough speed to double, and he has no offensive skills to trigger (all he's got is aegis, a defensive skill which could help him last a turn, but still)
Welcome to un-preped endgame.
Proc DF twice is pretty much all you've got here unfortunately.

I have no idea why the game drops kidbases as their base level increases, but I can confirm that it is a thing.
Thanks for posting this so I can stop wondering if I'm on the crazy pills

In Rev Odin can attack stance in his join map to hit 20/1 before the end of the map.
Pulled him in a lunatic PMU and Odin+Ophelia pretty much carried the lategame there.
TL:DR Odin has a rough start in rev/cq but is blatantly OP the moment his growths and class set kick in.
-
Just tested.
Nyx can ohko with Nos on CQ normal when stacked from join. The hell?
Why is the guy above me complaining about dark magic getting nerfed?
-
The joke being that actual play with that list is just... agonizing
Yet variants of the Reddit emblem build pop up more or less constantly and are what most folks use on a first (and often only) run
-
So, this guy tried playing CQ with the Reddit list?
Cause whenever I see a wall of text with a complainy title that's what I assume.
(No I did not read the OP)

@starburst @Shadow Mir Seems I am still going all aggro with these seals. I guess limit it to one reclassify outside of the base line per character?
No. Just use what you need, when you need it.
Some units will never see investment, some will see 4-6 seals and boosters.

My use of Mcorn would increase 100% with this change and... Nothing else would happen. Sans Elise deployment on ch12, as a MK, brb as the game snaps in half.

Yo,
What sort of shoe do you like too wear?

None, big stompy boots are what normally winds up on my feet though.
I'm calling in an expert for this one.

Honestly I just frontline everyone but Azura and kill things fast up to ch13. After that I have a blender or 3 just run full speed towards ch28 while the remaining mooks go and pick up secondary goals (mostly chests).
As for average slots per chapter? If you mean saves uuuuh, 1 (with a perfect Odin saved forever right aftr ch8 for when I'm feeling insane enough to delve into optimizing him in turn count play).
For deployment? I fill the full 15 slots, though 4-5 of those are just stave/rally captures.

Do you think that splitting a 10-units party may have enough power to pull it off? I guess that an anti-magic team should go west and a physical one, east. And I would have to study the winds and positioning. A side effect is that my mages would need to reach their thresholds in Ch 16-18, for they have limited use in Ch 19, and Ch 20 would now be short. Hmm... I will try it on my new campaign (all-girls, still before Ch 10.)
While no one might have got it, the default icon coincidentally looked just like a Starburst candy. Sweet!

4. Do you ever ride a bike?1: It's part of a strip from the fates meme thread, cropped with my mad MS paint skills.
2: Mechanically it's both the most complicated FE to date, and the most broken so the sandbox aspect is really entertaining in terms of challange runs. The difficulty and tactic optimization is also extremely tight in the 7-13 segment of the game without going into FE12, ohgodwhy territory.
3: Just English, I can scream out scafoldbuilder pretty well though (Basically Spanish, but only profanity/sex slang with motions to indicate what tool I want. This is a real thing)
4: Yes, mountain biking was a hobby of mine when I got sent to mountains without snow or good climbs.

13: Notgonna a say Odin but... Odin. My last PC was a 5e Moon Druid/AT Luchador. Played in OotA. A common misconception is that DM's try to control the chaos. Mostly we just wonder why our players aren't suplexing Satan with their Bear arms.

5. Is there a mechanic from a strategy game that isn't Fire Emblem that you would like to see implemented into the franchise?
Sorry for the double post.
1: Yes. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the X-men. I'm a sucker for excellent theme songs. (Also Voltron).
2: Best 3.5e dnd, it's near complete freedom and actually uses the d20 system (Also I'm a sucker for the campain settings). Worst pathfinder, it's like 3.5 but nothing actually works, all the problems and none of the insane.
3: Roll initiative? Clearly there's an intruder in my house of a piece of paper isn't covered in chickenscratch notes.

6: N-nothing, I wasn't trying to escape at all.
7: I'm stuck in the life of a foreverGM. Mostly 5/3.5e dnd, call of cthulu, or whatever gets pulled out of a used book bin and looks absolutely awful when players bug me.
8: Working on my master's in aerospace and chemical engineering. Mix that with two real jobs and never sleep again!
9: "Man, Nos can't break, and there's a mage with super huge bulk and early join. Also vantage" Was my first thought. Optimizing his use became a personal vendetta after an excessive number of threads bashing the hell out of a... pretty silly unit.
10: All but 1 and 3. The remakes are stellar, and the originals have... not aged well at all from what I've seen of them.

For 20 you can attack stance down the lancers to the east, the mages to the west, and then stall for the all-up wave to grab rescue, 10k, and end the map.
Glad to see you finally rep laced that filthy S avatar Starburst.

Ohgodthisisathing.
1: Pretty neutral? You seem to know what you're talking about and apparently run a side buisness of kidnapping folks for pointed questioning @_@
2: My first experience with FE came in the form of somone poisoning Dorcas's mutton. After that I was hooked... on advance wars 2 x.x Years later my interest in the series resurfaced with the New Mystery: HoLS translation (found while downloading AW:Days of Ruin) Got hooked after that.
3: Extremely wet and unseasonably warm.
4: Yes. Mostly tabletop RPG's, though the Etrian Oddesy and Advance wars series are definitely played. I work a lot so having things on a mobile platform is nice.
5: Go for it.

Indeed I considered to focus only on a limited amount of units because lunatic is definitely not made for experience sharing.
My main team will be:
Avatar, all royals, Felicia, Arthur, Effie, Mozu, Beruka, Niles and Kaze. Charlotte is only used to get Xander.
Nina should do big damage with the glassbow. Now I am thinking about it Niles and Felicia could work better because of tome breaker. Niles could tank all magical enemies.
As much I despise Camilla's character and supports, if she is that great as mother, I might pair her up with my avatar.
I'm still extremely confused by this team.
Why are there 15 parents mentioned with kids on the table?
Why are we discussing tomebreaker Niles? Pass skips the one map where that might actually matter entirely.
(Sbow Nina is like Bolt Axe Elise, but worse.)
If your question is "can this set of units win?" The answer is yes, because any set of units will work. This is not a strong team comp though.
We can help more on the unit front if you have a stated goal or focus. If this is just a semi-playlog that's fine too.

To be fair autopicking Niles and actually using capture cuts the difficulty of LPMU dramatically.
