1% critted

YES! I first thought of pally, but since he has cordelia already, he didn't need that much more speed. He doubled anything that wasn't a myrm anyway.

Double the Hero :o? Does he have 22 or 27 SPD? Also are you getting the speedwing from the Hero reinforcement?

Um, your guide isn't mediocre, it was actually quite helpful for me, since I couldn't even get past prologue in Lunatic. Your guide actually helped me a lot in both Lunatic and Lunatic', because back then I wasn't as good of a player as I am now. Heck I used your Maniac mode PoR guide too. But you need to update the images on your FE12 guide (The GFAQs one).

It's been a long time. Chapter 13

Poor harken's getting benched. Will you recruit donnel?

Have you played/finished maniac mode before? It's actually was rather different in my experience. If I have to compare it with something, it's like going from hard in FE:A to Lunatic. But with less ridiculous first chapters. The chapter where you get soren is ridiculous though, prepare for unequipped Titania!

MM is right of the bat. I have my own file here, when you select new game it already has maniac mode in it. Although I'm not sure since I picked up the english patch from this site.

Well, I think that writing in that style will really help on the later chapters, especially ch.12. This chapter just, ugh. Looking forward to your next update, and seeing how you tackle chapter 11!

FUCKING, FINALLY Chapter 12

Fred has only used the Gae Bolg. Lon'qu is using mysteltlain and tyrfing, but only for OHKO purposes when possible. If you can dodge counter entirely it's worth it. All other bonus box items are just taking space for now. But how descriptive you are is what makes your playlog unique :3. I like how much detail there is in it. But if it saves you more time then you should stick with what you like best. Anyway, I had some browser problems and couldn't access serenes for the day. But now I'm back from being busy, and ch.11 is here!!! Chapter 11 I was supposed to have chapter 12 done. But avatar critted with thunder a counter palandin on EP. And didn't kill it. When I don't want crits, sure make them fall of the sky. And it was one of the last enemies too!

Please no, I'm tired of seize. It's basically defeat boss, but you have to bring the lord along too. Unless the boss moves from the throne and is uber powerful, seize is not that interesting.

I don't think it's back for Luna+. I had a dark flier skirmish on the prologue chapter.

Well, I am honored!!! I really don't know if I've been lucky, but bonus box items and renown do ease things up a bit. But to be fair I haven't used that many of them for now. The bullion was really helpful, and the levin sword gave Lon'qu a decent ranged option. The second seal did help a lot though. But yeah, you are doing it in a more difficult run, and I just have more free time xD. To be fair your run was the one that inspired me. There aren't just enough Lunatic+ here :/. I was planning on doing Ch.11 today, but I really need some time to tackle this chapter, since I'm planning to kill every reinforcement. And reinforcements are the worst part of Lunatic+, since you don't know their skills until its too late.

On vanilla Lunatic, to feed others kills on chapter 1/2/3, you just need to use Fred to lure most of the enemies and leave one of your allies on the range of only one weakened enemy. Weee free kill.

So it's not dependent on the amount of characters or their levels either. Just what is it. After I finish my current playthrough, I will experiment on save, just to find out what gives the skirmishes levels. I really doubt it's playtime though if you have 38 hours.

A similar thing is happening in my playlog. My regular units I'm training are in a higher level than the most recent skirmishes. And like you, no spotpass, DLC,skirmishes. I think it's more about the total number of battles now, because of that info you are stating. How many characters do you have?

This just makes no sense. The game is just throwing my theories aside. Is it really completely random? I don't even.

Did you do DLC/wireless combat before that?

Hmm, this is a big mystery indeed. Everyone has different experiences with them.

For some odd reason you remind me of DemiseEnd from GFAQS. I'll be checking this out, I wanna see a no avatar run.

Only Luna+ can make a chapter that's such a joke like chapter 10, remotely difficult. Chapter 10

Then I guess that rules out the number of battles done theory I had. Which leaves me to the party total level theory. I doubt it's story progression because like I said, in my vanilla Lunatic run where I did complete skirmishes, I already had promoted enemies by chapter 9, but in my Luna+ run i'm doing now, I just beat chapter 10 with all paralogues completed and enemies are still level 17-20 on skirmishes. But like you said, maybe it's different on Luna+.

Wow then that is really weird. Lunatic and Lunatic+ skirmishes are the same though just so you know but, jumping from moderately overwhelming to 20/20 in one chapter, that's what happened to me in vanilla Lunatic(With DLC). Without DLC on vanilla I would usually get promotes after chapter 10. Sometimes chapter 9.

I've been having this thought for a long time now, and I think it's a good time to ask. Does anyone know the criteria for Lunatic skirmish levels? I've been experimenting a lot and I've come with two conclusions that seem plausible: -Enemy levels are based on total of battles completed -Enemy levels are based on total/average level of the party. I know it's not based on the last battle you faced since in one run where I used DLC enemies were promoted already after Chapter 5. While in my Luna+ run they are still not promoted on chapter 10. Just been meaning to ask this.

YES, LOPTO GRIMA REQUIRES MORE BLOOD.
