Killer Poleax

This is from my current hard mode run. Rhys was attacked by a general in 3-2 that had 60 hit and he dodged both times. My Rhys is really lucky. Boyd has leveled up speed every time he's leveled up (he leveled up 5 times so far) so he's been kicking a lot of ass. Boyd usually turns out awesome for me but this is the first time that he's leveled up speed so often. Still, he wouldn't be able to double some enemies if I didn't give him the speedwing from 2-3 but that's why I usually give him the speedwing in the first place.

I don't use Sanaki. She's too slow to ORKO anything except maybe generals and dragons. I don't use Kurthnaga either cause Night Tide isn't that good and he has a hard time doubling anything except dragons. They're both way better than Ena though. Seriously, her only use is for Blood Tide which only helps in specific situations. Her damage output is crap and she's slow. She can't kill anything unless she activates Ire but its a waste of bexp to get her to that point. She's definitely one of the worst endgame characters and unfortunately she is forced with no good reason.

I don't think the DB really needs celerity so I usually give Ilyana that. No one's going to be using her and Tormod's magic so give them to her so Soren can use them. I take shriek off of Vika and fortune off of Meg, give them to Ilyana so the GMs can sell for a lot of money. DB doesn't really have money problems, well at least mine doesn't. 3-2 is basically a shopping spree with the silver card. You can buy a whole bunch of items with all the money you get for selling stuff you don't need. So I basically stuff all of those characters with items that can be sold for a lot of gold. I honestly spend too much time thinking of what to give these guys to send over.

I usually give Ilyana a blue gem, red gem, celerity (for Rhys), shriek, fortune, silver lance, elthunder and something else that I can sell or a weapon someone can use. Nephenee, Brom, Heather and Haar get stuffed with a bunch of steel weapons, laguz stones, olivi grass, a speedwing (for Boyd), nullify (for Haar), spectre card, and anything else that can be sold for a lot of money or weapons someone else can use. Lethe and Mordecai get concoctions, torch, antitoxin, discipline, and a few other things.

Only if no one can one-round them then I will. I gang up in the earlygame so characters can level up. Definitely gang up on some bosses.

In FE9, you can't buy weapons or items until chapter 8 but you get a lot of weapons from enemies and chests. Sometimes, it's too much and you have to drop some stuff. A lot of the characters in FE10 have horrible availability and need bexp, paragon, and lots of favouritism to be useful in the last part of the game.

I usually end up benching Sothe, Sanaki, Ena, Kurth and Gareth in endgame. I really hate how they're forced into endgame. There are a lot more characters on my team that would love their spot and would probably do a better job. Ike and Micaiah, I can understand since it's game over if either of them dies. The others, their parts in the story could've easily been excluded if they're not chosen for endgame.

Why do some characters start with weapons that make them lose AS? What's the point of having underleveled characters join late into the game when the rest of your team is significantly higher? In FE10, why can't heroes and paladins use two weapons before promoting? Why can't FE10 warriors use normal bows like in other FEs? Why aren't there any enemy mercenaries, heroes or valkyries in FE9 & 10? Why isn't there dark magic in FE9?

I think its cause you have him killing everything in the first 11 chapters and that's a lot of enemies. Something similar like that happened to me. Boyd, Oscar, and Soren were 2, 3, and 4 respectively even though I stopped using them halfway through (I wanted to play as others for a change). Even then, they only got 60 something kills each and I think that was from their earlier chapters. If you're not using anyone else but Ike in the first couple of chapters, it's still possible for him to place really high on your kills list.

Ironically, she starts with a weapon that makes her lose AS (in RD) so she's not that smart.

Out of FEs 7-10, FE8 was the worst. It was too easy and I wasn't drawn towards any of the characters. And the music was repetitive. I played through it 3 times and got bored of it.

Well, she was down to one hp so I took the chance and unfortunately it didn't work out. Her hit was 77 and she was in a bush. I know, 77's not a guarantee but the chances of her killing him were high imo. The RNG screwed my Neph again. Yeardly was also at 1 hp so she didn't even need to get the critical, she just needed to hit. I guess it's for the best cause the bandit destroyed the house with the javalin so I didn't get it.

I'm adding 1-E and 2-1 to my most hated chapters list. 1-E is so hard without the BK and Nailah. That chapter is rigged to make you lose. Damn Jarod and his 3 authority stars. Why does he get more than the senators? Height disadvantage, -15 hit and avoid for all your units because of Jarod's stupid stars, hate that level. I might hate it more than the swamp only cause no one ever died on me in that chapter (except the prisoners). 2-1 only Brom, Nephenee and Heather. My game does not like Nephenee. Currently playing hard mode, she's died 3 times. On my last try, Yeardly brought Neph down to 1 hp and she activated wrath + critical to bring him down to 1 hp. I attacked with Neph, not only did she not get the critical from wrath but she also missed. Yeardly killed her and he had like 10 less hit than she did (her's was in the 70s, his was in the 60s). The AI is so damn lucky. I'm hating hard mode so much.

So I just started my first hard mode run and 1-3 is now one of my most hated chapters. I can't tell you how many times I had to restart that chapter. Everyone died at least once except Ilyana and Kurth. Funny thing happened, Aran was going to kill Ilyana but he missed (typical early game Aran). Ilyana countered, double attacked (that surprised me), and killed him. It's not that bad on normal but it's hell on hard.

Only if you're willing to staff abuse them and that takes up a lot of turns. They usually gain far less exp than other characters and fall behind pretty fast. Even if you heal someone every turn, they still end up lower than most of your team.

It's horrible. Worst idea ever. My characters trip all the time, especially when I'm about to finish them. So f'ing annoying.

I'd change FE10's endgame so you're not forced to bring anyone into the tower. They give you 70 something characters and you're only allowed to choose 10 plus a heron. WTF is that? 16 characters of your choice plus a heron would be pretty cool. I'd also increase the Black Knight's speed so Ike can't double attack him and make the hammer not do extra damage. Also make anyone be able to kill Ashera. It's against Ike's character to take all the glory. Or there could've been an alternate endgame after beating the game. I think it would've been cool if you could play as everyone that you left outside the tower and take on countless Disciples of Order members. Maybe Ashera could ressurect some of the main bosses from the game and you'd have to fight them again. They gave us a lot of characters in that game and it would've been nice to play with a bunch of them in the final chapter. I think it would be pretty epic.

Gameplay. I find it really addicting. It's cool to strategize and level up your own little army. Everything else is icing on the cake.

If it wasn't for the magic swords and being in the Ike vs BK battle, I probably wouldn't use Mist. She does become good but she takes too long to become good for my tastes.

That's what I do everytime someone dies. I don't like anyone dying on me.

The Wii's the only one I own cause I'm still a Nintendo fan and will be for years to come. I play Xbox 360 when I go to my cousins' house and I have a lot of fun with it but I like the Nintendo games a little more.

I don't really care about graphics as long as the game is fun. Gameplay>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>graphics If a game is really fun for me, I can usually ignore the graphics cause I'm too into the game to care about the graphics.

Soren's not going to abandon anyone as long as Ike is on his side.

There's Norris in FE9 (boss of the ship level where you have to protect the apostle). In FE10: Sergei, a bow paladin, boss of 3-10 that only uses bows. Silvano, a sniper, boss of 3-P but he has a crossbow. I can't think of any others.
