Codename Shrimp

thing is, she still have 40% damage thanks to the 4 units near her, too risky, and i couldn't risk wasting actions on them thanks to bonded shield - hence i had to deal with er first yup really saved me thankies o7 ever tried playing Mobas? 😛

cute

*Chain Attack.mp3* Losses: Freeze staff, 2/3 of a rescue staff WOOHOO That was an experience I lost no one 😛

No Fly zone

3 bosses remaining Lyn Eirika Byleth with 2 range aoe dance (you heard that right). Ai can't use it to maximum effect, yet still screwed me over in the first 2-3 turns and had to change my plan right after battle preps lmao Lucina with 2 range 60% Bonded shield...that thankfully never proc'd? lol Corrin oh Zephia - a flying debuffer how fun And Ike!Vander Yes, it's scary, it's also why i decided i will go all out with the staves lmao

Her having a 2 ranged option + 60% bonded shield + Hurricane axe combined honestly makes her a menance Ü depends, but yet we had a case of here a couple years ago I like me some challenge and i thought i knew the game enough Ofc enemies having access to Emblems they never had to in the base game + changes to them in enemy form (2 range bonded shield for Lucina, 2 range dance for Byleth, etc) is certainly making it harder and more exciting than expected. I am pretty sure i never played ch.17 like this, but i also brought a big range of staves with me to deal with this..

Fuck me this could actually end the Ironman if i am not careful. He can one shot Veyle from 10 range FUCK ...so it's the reverse here

Why isn't he dea- > Thyrsus FML

Ch.17 RR Ironman be like That dance already screwed my tactics over lol No one died yet, but i fear this will be a massacre xD

2nd...after the conservative The big problem will arise when they tear down the wall between them and Nazis - and under their current leader it's not a matter of if, but when. Let me try and find something in english https://www.dw.com/en/german-remigration-debate-fuels-push-to-ban-far-right-afd/a-67965896?maca=en-rss-en-ger-1023-rdf And they have 22% in the polls atm, and other parties, even "center-left" (who are actually just conservatives in red) are using their talking points and language (although not the relocation thing....yet) FE4 remake by monolith would be lit tho

>joking Nah mate, considering the current political shitshow over here and how racism is just cool again, you might be into something Like Did you ever expect to hear about relocation in Germany in 2024? Ü

EngageGang o7

Yeah I think it being probabilistic makes it harder, especially with such a high chance. It could really screw me over That said I think it only activates when i initiate, so maybe a more EP focused approach might be in order? Parthia is a bit of a pain to deal with tho Corrin means aoe debuffs/freeze. I could very easily lose someome thanks to that if i am not careful Also she starts closer to the player party in RR, to compensate for Sigurd i think. On maddening she's aggressive, starts moving once you deal with Mauv iiirc. It makes it quite a bit harder on Maddening than on hard. Ofc here her not having 12 Mov will make that part a bit easier, but i will have to deal with debuffs and a beefier version It's a more unpredictable one, just like Marni's Also my strongest units being fliers means he can zone them out hard Yup Then again, Zephia in maddening always made that chapter something i have to change plans for on the fly, so unpredictability is not really new.

Well, the bloody sands are over, let's take a look at ch.17... >Lucina!Marni with Invisible Ties (2 range 60% Dual guard chance) >Ike!Vander >Corrin!Zephia....70HP!!!!!! >Griss!Byleth with Thyrsus and aoe dance >Lyn!Hyacinth...with Astra Storm >Eirika!Alear with some doozy stats ....This will be a massacre.... Help

Yup. Alfred was fucking useless and got kil... i mean crippled and only living thanks to plot armor FFs guy didn't do anything lol. And then missed an 80% and got his by a 30%. Naturally. Solm's Sands are treacherous.

Someone else is gonna die. I feel it. World Tree proc'd quite alot, so thankfully it wasn't that costly Exactly what i did 😄 The first one she crit to death, the 2nd one here she will take out after the dance. Maybe i should've turned her into a staff/Aura bot or smth XD Then again, Aura bots aren't as easy to make here as in Fates...

Obligatory Ironman low% crit death Fuck tho Fuck fuck fuck Fogado was the one who inherited Draconic Hex >no Draconic Hex in ch17 FUCK Well, let's try to survive this first, as i actually had Fogado in my calculations for the boss fights this chapter lol And ofc goes and low% crits right after lmao. Revenge or smth >Mag lvlup You really want to be a MagKnight eh?

Bruh that's just Goldmary with 6 less speed and 4 more lck and 1 more Res ...And i have to fight the Wyrms on this map with those 2? Fuck (51 eff. attack) Literally the only weapon i have against the Wyrms on this map. This will be a doozy XD >Vander >25 Spd Is that even possible Doesn't he need like IL776 to reach that much speed? Hmmm Maybe when Eirika comes back >+ Mag >lunar brace >A Lances means Brave Lance shenanigans

This map without Corn... oh no ...i hope i get Corn back before the port chapter...i should actually Wait a sec I have Corn at home 😄

that is reassuring. Ty and noted!

Noted 50/50 with mock battles included? Ouch. Are mock battles a must? I tend to not like them (or their equivalent) in SRPGs. Curiosity is a curious thing - and i an of the curious type when it comes to story - even if sometimes i regret what i see/read - i'd rather it exist as an option. Reminds me of a WN i read a while back. The antagonist is one of the most vile ones i ever saw. Her ending is what she wished on the protags, yet it was still super yabai and made me hella uncomfortable. Still, no regrets xD Nothing wrong with that!

Yes At the very least, no bad gameplay to inerrupt the story Usually xD And they tend to not give af - i like that If it happens, it happens, no need to feel guilty for trying share the fun around 😉 We with many western RPGs. Usually don't enjoy them alone, but with friends? Oh yes

ayy 😄 Playing along friends & the community is one of the big positives of day 1 for me it's less that and more that most games that people like for the story tend to have less than stellar gameplay - to put it mildly.... And the story more often than not ends up being nothing special, and not even good sometimes. If i want good & unique stories, i know exactly where to look - and it ain't your everyday game that's for sure noted, but very low prio - you saw my big list above XD

and alot and bad my current backlog: DMC5 - already halfway through Sparks of Hope - also halfway through Astral Chain - need to start Engage Ironman i am doing atm Wanna finish those before i get anything new. There're games coming out soon i am looking forward to, tho Granblue Fantasy ReLink - although won't get day 1 unless there's a PC demo (atm only PS demo) and i really enjoy it Unicorn Overlord - Possible day 1, depending on reviews Eiyuden Chronicles Other games i might nab if a sale happens: Triangle strategy - although you probably all noticed how i haven't been in a mood for Story heavy games lately - I just want to have fun. And the demo is really text heavy and if i don't like the gameplay, i would probably be hella pissed - i do enjoy me a good story tho Star Ocean 2 Remake - That on the other hand i enjoyed the demo alot. It has that classic JRPG vibes i tend to adore - a 30% sale would be enough for me to nab it honestly WitchSpring R: Witch. I love witches. Looks like a game with alot of variety. Witches. People say it's a hidden gem - did i mention Witches? Nayuta no Kiseki: 40 bucks is a wtf price, not paying more than 15 for this - so probably not anytime soon Fate/Samurai Remnant: Very low prio due to being Mouso adjacent and 70 bucks price lol Might also pick up a VN - Tsukihime RE i can emulate...but downloading switch games is a pain in the ass lol
