Phazon Archon

I have Death Blow on him; it's now on display at my castle.

Click post once, see double post later...again. I think this might have happened because I edited something, then tried to make a post before leaving the page...or Windows is just a bad operating system. Regardless, I'm sorry for this mess.

Thank you! I just picked up all of the skills you put on Caeldori. I forgot to save before the battle, so I couldn't get all the characters in one go. Tomorrow, then! ...Wait, you need Rend Heaven on Aruthur? I have updated mine to include that. I'll simply edit out the skills I acquire. If I post my list again, it won't be on this page.

I have Luna on Flora in case you're still looking for it. Castle Address: 08515-28180-60331-86514 (Court of Skills) To the thread as a whole, I am going to try something...different. One of my goals is to obtain all skills on all characters without hacking them on myself. I have pasted my list of missing skills in the spoiler tag. I have them listed by character (alphabetically), then by the order skills appear on a character's list. My Kana is female, and I lack Hisame, Izana, Yukimura, and Scarlet. Realistically, I don't expect to ever meet my goal. If you could help me along with even a single skill, though, I would be happy. Hell, if you so much as glance at my list, I will be grateful. I must warn you: it's a doozy.

You can find Scarlet with Aptitude at this castle: 10302-84257-53551-82977 You will have to move around 2 puppets, but it's otherwise benign.

This combo is now available in my castle.

Another update from me: Flora: Shurikenfaire Shigure: Rally Strength NEWGrossSkill has Luna and Nohrian Trust on Nina. I was busy picking up other skills from him, so I suggest grabbing these before he updates.

I don't have Gamble on Kiragi, but the other 5 skills are now on display for you. Castle Address: 08515-28180-60331-86514 (Court of Skills)

These two combinations are now ready to go in my castle.

I'm glad they left the class system as they did. I'm glad most of Gaiden's mechanics were left intact. It gave us the opportunity to play (pseudo-)Gaiden without an emulator or old equipment. Yes, it's quite different from the Fire Emblem games we're used to, but that's why I found it so enjoyable. I don't have a problem when games are "more of the same", but shaking things up now and then helps keep things fun. Do I want most Fire Emblem games to play like this? No: I'm happy with this spicy oddball, but I don't want to inundate the series with this flavor. I'll admit I'm a bit peeved that no female-exclusive class gets a third tier, but hey, that's Gaiden. As for the Dread Fighter loop "not making sense from a logical perspective", the director (Toshiyuki Kusakihara) had this to say about it in a recently-translated interview: "If you think of them like ninjas who go back to being villagers, it was pretty natural. In the real world, when they had no work, a ninja would just be an ordinary villager, after all." You can find the full interview here.

My castle now has: Dwyer: Nohrian Trust Ignatius: Nohrian Trust Midori: Rend Heaven Shigure: Luna, Rend Heaven

I'm embarrassed to say I don't recall enemies having a critical chance of greater than 3% against my units (barring Killer weapons), but I can't argue against math. I see where you're coming from now. Thank you!

I want to discuss this with you, but I will toss it in a spoiler tag in an attempt to not be seen as derailing the thread. I figured this would be better than just sending you a PM, partially because the latter method means no one else can chime in. blackestheart13, to address your point about magic users, my Conquest run used Elise and Ophelia (her daughter) as its magic users. Felicia never did much for me beyond healing, and Nyx only helped me in a couple chapters. I made my Corrin a Nohr Noble, but didn't use the tome I gave him all that much. If you make Felicia a witch, she'll likely follow the typical Elise path: plenty of Mag, Spd, Lck, and Res, but terrible HP and Def. Of course, her fragility shouldn't matter if you place her properly. I never made her a Witch in Conquest, only partially because that had not been released yet. Depending on your pairings, some of the child units may help you (and recruiting them gives you another chapter to gain levels without resorting to Boo Camp). I paired Kaze with Azura and had the resulting Merchant Midori and Kinshi Knight Shigure make it to my endgame team. For the latter, I wanted a bow unit who was better than Niles. I tried with Niles (longer than I should have), but his levels almost always resulted in 2 stats. I think I had Mozu as a Sniper as well. I did use the Boo Camp for my run, but I can't remember how much. My memory of it is fuzzy, so it couldn't have been a lot. Really, I have difficulty remembering anything about Conquest beyond the anticipation during battle preparations (what nasty surprises do the enemies have in store this time?), the prolific resetting during a chapter, and the thrill of finally beating one more chapter with everyone still alive. I think I spent about an afternoon per chapter. The remaining hard mode chapters in your run will test your nerves.

At this point, I must wonder: are we playing the same game? While I share your aversion for axe infantry and for losing units, I would argue that Berserkers and Killer weapons are both good in this game (the latter more than the former). Yes, Fates Berserkers lose critical evade - a whopping 5. I agree this makes Arthur unsuitable for the class (losing him to a 1% critical chance made me laugh until I reset), but Charlotte (or Siegbert if he's her son) sporting a killer axe (x4 damage on critical at the cost of 10 avoid? Sign me up!) has a high tendency to delete enemies. Yes, you should not put them in a position where they have to weather a lot of attacks on the enemy's turn. Yes, they almost always miss against Swordmasters and Master Ninjas (curse the latter). Berserkers are best used when you have lured an enemy out of position, like with a General or Great Knight. Speaking of which, classes with good defense (the aforementioned two) make excellent use of Killer weapons. Did you really want your Great Knight to be a dodge-tank? Give that Silas, Sophie, Gunter, etc a Killer weapon and watch him or her go to town! blackestheart13, I did end up using Charlotte in my hard (classic) Conquest run - as a pair-up buddy for Xander. Alas, neither Charlotte nor the pair's Siegbert grew as quickly as I needed them to, but Xander welcomes Charlotte's assets stat boosts with open arms. I found Silas did a little better for me as a Great Knight rather than a Paladin. Is Xander your only unit capable of baiting out non-magic enemies?

It's the first line under Lifespans in the first volume, found here. After playing through the English endgame again, Yune indeed mentioned the Zunanma were the only things she and Ashera did not create. I suspect this is simply a version difference.

I have posted my Arthur on my castle; I chose skills that I thought would complement a front-line healer. Castle Address: 08515-28180-60331-86514 (Court of Skills)

Well, this is embarrassing: I hit Post once, and my computer displayed a single post (after a couple minutes), but the site now tells me I posted twice. I apologize for this mess.

I have more skills for both of you: Keaton: Lancebreaker Forrest: Nohrian Trust Ignatius: Nohrian Trust Mitama: Hoshidan Unity, Nohrian Trust Selkie: Hoshidan Unity, Nohrian Trust Shigure: Nohrian Trust Shiro: Nohrian Trust Siegbert: Nohrian Trust I want to become a rotating skill shop: if I don't have a skill someone is looking for, it gives me an extra incentive to find it for my own collection. 3 hours after posting, my Shigure now has Rend Heaven. 19 hours after posting, my Shigure now has Luna.

I will contribute to this endeavor, fellow friend of friend of justice! My Arthur isn't set in stone, so I will give you a choice: you could build the Arthur you want out of what I have, or I could build one for you (ranging from Excellent to Abysmal, based on my whim). My Arthur has access to: ...Oh, right. Is it a problem if I fed my Arthur 5 goddess statues?

...Oh. I have never messed with the logbook, so I didn't realize this was possible. It's a neat trick, but I think I'll stick with the standard "buy a skill per day" method: less grinding for gold that way. New Hana skills are 11,000-14,000 for me, even when half off. Thank you for the insight, though! 3 hours after posting, I have obtained Nobility on Reina. This combo is on display at both my castle and NEWGrossSkill. 14 hours after posting, I have found Dragon Fang on Hisame. You will find him at: 02914-48537-97238-33196. The castle also has Rend Heaven on Siegbert, which I have placed onto my Siegbert. Next day edit: My Midori now has Luna on her.

I have updated as well (and picked up Elise's Certain Blow; thanks!). I now have the following on display: Forrest: Dragon Fang Ignatius: Nohrian Trust Midori: Dragon Fang Shigure: Dragon Fang Shiro: Luna Siegbert: Dragon Fang Sophie: Nohrian Trust I'm confused as to how you acquire skills as quickly as you have been. My guess is you have a much better list of castles than I do.

I don't have Certain Blow on her, so I would be happy to pick that up. I feel silly: I just came back from your castle.

The castle "Skills for kids" (near the top of the visitor points page) has Rend Heaven on Percy and Sophie I have updated my roster for both of you. You will find: Takumi: Dragon Fang Dwyer: Nobility Kiragi: Nobility Nina: Dragon Fang Ophelia: Hoshidan Unity, Nobility, Nohrian Trust Shiro: Aegis, Dragon Fang, Pavise Soleil: Luna, Nobility I still have Severa with Swordfaire and Xander with Tomebreaker from earlier. Castle Address: 08515-28180-60331-86514 (Court of Skills) I now beseech the thread at large; I am trying to acquire: Elise: Movement +1 Hana: Defense +2, Natural Cover, Wary Fighter

Let me ping you again to say the castle NEWGrossSkill (one of the top ones) is now displaying Dragon Fang on Ignatius and Percy. I picked up the latter, but haven't stuck him in my castle. These two have just been added to my roster.
