  1. (For the one in the chest in Ch30, you're forced to use exactly Hector and Serra, so you'll need a Chest Key... but I think there are droppable ones in-chapter?)

    You're probably better off killing the thieves after they loot the chest (the thieves prioritize stealing from characters first, then going for the chests.) The worst part about that chapter is that there's no Merlinus.

  2. Whtfang the thunder tactician's final team. PS, Merlinus had 70 avoid by the end. He is amazing at driving that horse and cart.

    I don't remember who I used the dracoshield on...maybe Athos for some reason? Yeah, I think that was it. I don't remember why now.

    #1

    Florina (+2 strength, +14 HP, +2 Move)

    Essential in low turning many chapters. I used 2 robes on her, an energy ring, and the boots. No regrets. Well, since I didn't utilize her rescue effectively enough, maybe I should have given Hector the boots...or used her better. Her combat was amazing, though. She killed Ursula, Sonia, Kenneth, Paul (or was it Jasmine?).

    #2

    Marcus

    I love 3 turning 17x. Marcus really should be banned in normal mode, but I won't complain. He makes the game easier. Killed too many bosses to count.

    #3

    Priscilla

    Warp. Fortify. yay. Shouldn't have wasted the turn recruiting Legault, I had picked up two extra guiding rings by the time I promoted her.

    #4

    Athos

    Ol' greybeard practically beats the final chapters for you (with the right motivation). He should probably be ranked lower, considering he's only available for 2 chapters, but I thought he was really important in those two chapters.

    #5

    Lowen

    Marcus Jr. Not as good as Sain or Kent, but he can carry Hector just as well before promotion. He pretty much cleared a path every chapter until he couldn't double as consistently.

    #6

    Hector

    A good lord? Not only good, but 1-2 range. You can't go wrong with letting him loose if the objective is rout or defend.

    #7

    Farina (+2 Resistance)

    Well, she may have cost a few turns to get, but boy did she make up for them in 28x (she helped secure Athos' speedwings there, too), and she gave me a great combatant for the rest of the game. She took out Limstella and morph Ursula.

    #8

    Lyn

    She turned out well for me, but I know this isn't always the case. Normal mode probably helps her out the most of everyone. Crit the dragon next time, though, ok? She actually managed to kill Lloyd and Linus (not the morphs, that was Hector) of all people. Perhaps she's better than most give her credit?

    #9

    Ninian and Nils

    They helped Priscilla gain levels mostly, but they also enabled faster clears. Standard stuff.

    #10

    Rath

    Before promotion, he just did his own thing. After, he was able to contribute a lot more. Swords was marginally useful, but still useful. Required another unit to trade with him.

    #11

    Raven (+2 luck)

    He is a good unit, but he was superfluous because of how awesome the rest of my team was.

    #12

    Harken

    Again, a great unit, though he probably cost 3-4 turns (I didn't have to rush the chapter so I don't know for sure). Unfortunately, he moves 2 fewer spaces than Marcus, which ultimately makes him redundant in normal mode since nearly everyone has good combat.

    #13

    Wil

    He hardly doubles with Steel and he can't ORKO with Iron. In normal mode, this isn't as noticeable of a problem as in hard mode, since there is enough cash to splurge on a silver bow to make him usable. However, to his credit, there are a lot more ballistas than I remember seeing in previous plays, which gave him some unique utility, mostly in eliminating other ballistas to help out my fliers. Rebecca usually doubles with a ballista, though.

  3. Chapter 29 9/198 turns

    This was just an absolute exp fest. Probably not a very fast clear (I was running out of ranged weaponry). Sadly, no magic for Priscilla. Also, Eliwood had her guiding ring, so I couldn't promote her in chapter. Sad. I recruited Vaida to save the pain of trying to kill her.

    Chapter 30 7/205 turns

    Slow, slow, slow. I rescue staffed Hector, then warped him next turn with Priscilla. However, I hit a snag when the thief stole his Elixir. Luckily the Steel Axe connected, and I was able to continue (This particular thief had droppable loot, so I got my potion back instead). I deployed Lyn as well (She must contribute against the dragon) and she collected a Wolf Beil. Priscilla used another warp to get Hector out of danger, and he used the Brave Axe with cautious healing to kill Kaim over 3 turns. More importantly, Lyn finally has S rank swords.

    Hector needs 1 more speed to not be doubled by the dragon, Lyn needs 1 more speed or the Chapter 31 body ring to double the dragon. Athos can double with a Speedwings and the Body Ring that's coming up, so I have an ace in the hole.

    Chapter 31 11/216 turns

    Defense chapter. Got the stuff, got the exp.

    Chapter 32 9/230 turns

    I rescued Hector as far as he could go, but he didn't get very far and I was worried that the Pegasus sisters couldn't handle the ballistae, so I warped him as far as he could go, and he had to walk the rest of the way. He moved slowly through the forest and had to kill Limstella with help from Farina.

    Chapter 32x 1/231 turns

    Lyn moves, Nils plays, Priscilla warps, Lyn gets a dual Mani Katti crit on Kishuna. If I hadn't gotten it, I'd have tried someone else.

    Final 4+1 /236 turns (70 LHM + 172 HNM - 6 Ch. 28x)

    Wil gets benched. Sorry buddy, but you suck. After some debate, Harken gets benched as well.

    Hecotr and Lyn gained plenty of speed, so Athos gets the Body Ring and Speedwings. Farina is assigned to Ursula's room, that gets her the Talisman. Hector goes to Linus and Lloyd, Florina and Lyn take Darin; Rath, Marcus, and Raven get Uhai, Athos gets the magic room, and Lowen takes out Brendan. Athos doubles Nergal with Luna, and gets the killing blow on EP.

    The dragon. I was so dumb, but got bailed out. Then I realised I had done ok, except for the last bit. Florina, Lyn, Hector, and Athos all got hits in. Then, the dragon is at 18 HP. I'm thinking, "Now what?" Well, I decide to Double cast Fortify. Staff->Fortify. Then I do it again, and see that Warp(1) is an option. I could have warped Nils next to Athos to refresh his turn and end the game right then. Well, no choice now, I have to heal everyone to survive a hit from the dragon, and eat the extra turn.

    Dragon attacks Athos on EP. What a dumb dragon! Must be in the AI where if it can deal equal damage to all targets and kill none of them, it chooses the one at range.

    Final character analysis coming soon.

    9 turns got lost at about chapter 17. Sorry about that! I'm not going to edit those posts, though. That means my final turn count is 245.

    Chapter 27A 10/180 turns

    I sell off some excess junk, and promote everyone except Priscilla, since I don't have a tome to let her use anyway. Sadly, the next Fire tome is quite some time away. At least I never really use Priscilla for her combat ability anyway.

    I wanted to pick up turns here, but per the requirements of the draft I have to wait for Harken. Sure, Farina and Harken may be great units, but they cost turns to get! They better help out soon.

    Raven uses the Goddess Icon so that I can level up his Axe rank with the Devil Axe a little more safely. Florina is a boss killer. She ORKO's Kenneth like a champ. Harken's base stats are sweet. Used my last Hammerne use to repair the barrier staff.

    Chapter 28 15/195 turns

    Priscilla spam, I need to get her to 18 magic by chapter 32x, which will enable me to warp someone to kill Kishuna, if my calculations are correct. Looking possible at the moment. I get all the loot, it's pretty easy on normal mode. Florina takes the boots to become even more awesome than she is, and kills Ursula. I think Rath killed Maxime. With two kickin' fliers, I'm feeling confident that I can finish 28x before the 15 turn point. I also plan to get the speedwings. It depends on how everyone's speed grows, but they will always have a use with Athos, so I'll hang on to them until Final.

    Chapter 28x 9 (-6)/189 turns

    No one else has added the +15 (I don't think), so I simply reduced my turncount based on the difference between the assigned turncount and the turncount that I got.

    Last chance to level up Priscilla. No Merlinus, so inventory management is tight as it can be, I end up dropping a half-used javelin in favor of the Fell Contract. Hector got hit with a sleep staff, so that probably cost me 2-3 turns.

  5. Chapter 22 5/147 turns

    Recruited Heath for the Axereaver and got Rath. Got the cash and brave axe and rushed Lowen and Marcus to the boss. I guess I was slow, but I definitely needed the funds. Priscilla missed the last sleep staff use, making her 0/3. I only used it when I had a chance > 65%...

    I'm thinking Florina will pretty much solo the next chapter (Pent will help, I'm sure). She's getting the robe (again!) and I'll load her up with ranged weaponry and an axereaver. Maybe I'll promote her, too.

    Can you say Florina axereaver crit? In the end she had to drop Marcus, and he took one boss while she got the other. 3 turn was prevented due to being unable to ensure Marcus's survival/boss kill with a ranged weapon equipped. No desert items found, but I got a Killer Axe from Hawkeye. Really could have used that Body Ring...

    Afa's drops on Florina (duh).

    Chapter 24A 2/153 turns

    I'm actually going to save my last 3 torch staff uses for the horribleness that is Battle Before Dawn, so no exp grinding for Priscilla this chapter (ok, maybe some barrier staff uses). However, we are nearing Pale Flower of Darkness, which will ease the burden placed on Raven.

    Fed Lyn the boss kill, she's close to promotion time. Marcus was refreshed by Ninian if she had missed and not been crit in return. Rath picked up an Orion Bolt (I didn't even know it was on this map). Florina opted to kill a Hero and did not get the Earth Seal. I need one more promotion item, found next chapter. 2 turns would have been impossible to recruit Wallace, so I leave him wandering Elibe forever. Sorry buddy.

    Chapter 26

    I don't think I can end this chapter early, so no sense in handing out promotions just yet. (I don't have a fire tome for Priscilla anyway.) This is the last chapter where I have to be careful about exp to Raven and Priscilla. Right now she has a 108 exp lead.

    Aaaaaaand Raven gained about 140 exp more than Priscilla, which means I have to try again and pay more attention.

  7. Chapter 20 6/139 turns

    I hate this chapter too. I take a turn to recruit Legault (for his stuff), though this is a consolation prize for being slow. The 5 turn was no guarantee anyway, as Lowen had a 50/50 shot at hitting with the Heavy Spear. Biggest mistake: I moved Flo rescuing Hector south of the door, and the Troubadour blocked my path north, preventing Florina from moving after dropping Hector next to Darin. This meant that she got attacked, and instead of dealing damage on the counter with Hector, she dealt a meager 2 damage. Ah well, I still mess up. One day I will learn. Good news is that Marcus didn't get any boss kills, so more exp for my team.

    Priscilla, your Sleep staff misses are holding back your brother! Stop it and gain more exp!

  9. Ok, I need clarification. Is Marcus banned after Chapter 16 or free the whole game? It is a bit ambiguous in the rules. The generic ruleset has him banned after Chapter 16, and this is not explicitly contradicted, only a statement that Marcus is free, which could be interpreted as no limitation or as free until chapter 16.

  10. Chapter 11 9/79 turns

    Apparently Wire moves in normal mode.

    Chapter 12 4/83 turns

    I'm tired of messing up. My first attempt (6 turns) I had to scrap because I sent Matthew shopping. The sad part was that I didn't have to do it. Good thing it forced me to start over.

    Everyone went through Merlinus's village, and Hector ended up walking to the throne. Lowen finally got in some shopping.

    Marcus ran around to the village, and Hector guarded the North while Lowen fought in the east. Dorcas moved Merlinus out of danger. Lowen needs to get better and soon.

  11. Also, don't you take a penalty for Matthew in Ch11 if you did in Ch6? And didn't you say you weren't doing Lyn mode anyway?

    I'm not 100% but I think he needed Matthew to step on a switch? At least I hope so because I'm already way past that chapter and used Matthew to open doors and chests as I thought he was free for that.

    Prologue 5/5

    Florina crits and saves the good levels the team earned.

    Forgot to deploy Nils. Oh well.

    Chapter 8 7/59

    It's important to keep Florina out of range of attacks.

    Chapter 9 4/63

    Chapter 10 7/70

    Wallace stole a good level up AND waited to get D axes until after he killed Lundgren. Jerk.

    Florina got the Energy Ring.

  12. Yeah, it's like golf. You want to beat each boss at the lowest level that you can, and the more characters you have drafted below the boss's level, the lower your score will be.

    A possible solution to the sandbagging problem is that drafted characters must be revived after every battle. But its effectiveness would depend on how much gold you get per battle.

    For penalties, I think 1 point per random encounter is appropriate.

    Yes, these work I think.

    Penalties:

    +1 point for using an undrafted character in a random battle.

    +Level of Encounter points (in addition to the points that the character would otherwise generate) for using an undrafted character in a boss battle. So if I did not draft young Rydia but use her to defeat the Octomammoth at level 1, I'll get +1 to my score (+10 from the level of Octomamm, -9 from the difference between Rydia's level and the boss's).

    I don't think Cecil ever has a hard time running away, so that might be what you have to do if you don't have Porom, Palom, or Tellah. Of course you'll be running a lot to keep your score down, too.

    Also, should an undrafted character be allowed to use White Magic outside of battle?

    You have to have a way to revive the character and then kill that character in the next battle immediately (or take a penalty), but if you can do that, then go ahead.

  13. I get Bartre (...)

    Joshy gets Isadora

    SP gets Matthew

    Whitefang gets Rath

    These units aren't on our teams in the first post.

    Raven - Boss killer?

    Priscilla - Best healer!

    Wil - Worst archer, which makes him super terrible

    Florina - Rescue shenanigans

    Lowen - Worst cavalier, but still a good unit

    Lyn - At least she'll be a high level

    Farina - Starts out slow, she might not get a chance to grow like she should. She'll cost me some turns on Chapter 25 probably (I'm overestimating my abilities again)

    Harken - Solid prepromote, of course

    Wallace - Might kill Lundgren and will then disappear forever.

    Rath - I don't know, at least he's fast.

    Considering that nearly half my team is in Lyn mode, I'll be going there. I also hope to get lower than 75 turns.

  14. This is a draft competition for four players.

    Each player will draft 4 characters, each of which must be unique (so you cannot draft Kain's first appearance if you have drafted Kain's 3rd appearance.) The remaining two character appearances will be free. If you have no option but to draft a character that you have drafted previously, then you may do so.

    The winner will be determined by whose team has the best difference in levels between their characters and the bosses that they defeat. A lower score is better.

    For example, I draft Kain's first appearance and defeat the mist dragon with Kain and Cecil both at level 10 before the fight begins. The Mist Dragon (D. Mist) has a level of 10. I would earn 0 points toward my score. Had Cecil been level 11 and Kain level 10, I would have earned 1 point. Undrafted characters give 0 points and must be killed immediately. Using an undrafted character results in an additional number of points equal to the level of the encounter. Drafted characters must be alive at the end of the boss fight in order to progress. Save often!

    Optional bosses are optional, so defeat them if you can! However, you must defeat them before taking on Zeromus, which freezes your score.

    Draft order:

    1234 4321 1234 4321 1234

    Cecil is free for all. Edward is free for his fight with the WaterHag (not a boss battle). Rydia is free for Golbez because that fight sucks. That fight also does not count toward your score.

    Penalties

    +1 point for using undrafted characters in a random battle (each random battle). However, you are allowed kill off the character after they are revived by a cottage or game events and after you get the character the first time.

    +LEVEL points for using an undrafted character in a boss battle (LEVEL is the level of the boss).

    Drafted characters must be revived as soon as they are swooned/KO'd

    My question to fellow drafters is how to prevent a sandbagging character from lowering a player's score by a lot. Say I draft Young Rydia and just kill her off right away, that would result in -24 points, though perhaps at the expense of requiring a higher level Cecil. My only solution currently is to require the character to be alive at the end of every boss fight, but that might be difficult. Give me your suggestions! An alternative measure of victory could be time, which might be better, but then relegates the optional bosses to being rather useless.

  15. I had that question as well. Will the player who gets Karla also get a free Bartre? Same for Geitz, you can't recruit him without getting the Lords leveled up.

    Guy

    SP and I posted at the same time. Karla.

    Exceptions: Geitz/Wallace are optional. Karla is not optional, see below.

    I guess I'm blind.
