  1. Releasing a Caeda alt and Lilith in rapid succession is just cruel. Goodbye orbs, it was nice knowing you.

    That summoning focus change is pretty sweet. Almost as good as Feh’s new voice. Almost.

    Gjoll will not work against skills that negate specific stat penalties (eg: Atk penalty on unit with Atk/Res Bond 4), but will work when those units are hit with any other bad status effect (Panic, Gravity, etc).

    Huh. That’s...interesting, is the word I’m going with here.

    I ran a quick test myself in Paralogue 37-3, using Lilina's Forblaze to apply a Res penalty to Micaiah. Hrid did not get an automatic follow-up from Gjoll, as you described...but Yune, whose Chaos Manifest has a condition worded the exact same way, did get one.

    Awesome use of Kempf there. He walked all over the right-hand side and even ensured a safe KO on Bramimond for Ishtar. I’m kind of surprised that the green dragon didn’t continue advancing past the Lance Armor when you had Narcian hold the enemies up by flying him out over the water. Nice work!

    @SatsumaFSoysoy

    Firesweep Celica scares me. Those poor greens never stood a chance. Cordelia puts in good work as always; nice use of Escape Route on her! I was surprised when she took only 5 damage from that red mage. Nice work!

    I think this is the first time you EPed more than one thing for your one turn clears. Sophia demolished Bram easily.

    I’ve got a few “send in Caeda and wait” clears...Abyssal Ursula, and Reinhardt & Ishtar Infernal are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. It turns out I didn’t actually need to EP anyone but Bramimond. Desperation on Ephraim and Death Blow+Quickened Pulse on Caeda would’ve let me take out everything else on the Player Phase. I think I like it better the way it is, though. There’s a certain symmetry to it.

    @Landmaster

    You use Elise to fight so much that I sometimes forget that she can heal, too. Pulse Smoke and Miracle both came in clutch here. Elise obliterating the blue dagger at the end was strangely satisfying.

    Also, Sophiaaaaaa!

    Nice work!

    Aha, so we both used Sophia strats. And yours was a little cooler than mine, I’m jealous~ This one had 3 kills on enemy phase, really nice!

    idk about “cooler”, we just had different sets of restrictions, and mine happened to require her to beat the tar out of a couple people in a hurry =P .

    —————

    Despite the Barrier Lance armor and blue dagger, Celica managed to take the map by camping the left-hand side.

    Oddly, I couldn’t get Thrasir to pull off the same feat, so I “Guidance’d” her over the...river? And had her spam Blazing Wind at the approaching enemies.

    Finally, for the theme team, my brain decided to remember that one of Odin’s victory quotes in Fates is “My darkness was darker than yours!”. So I decided on an “Odin & Friends” theme, with one restriction: Odin has to deal the finishing blow to the boss.

    And that’s the story of how I discovered that the only living copies of Odin and Laslow in my barracks were 4* Lv 40s with meh or neutral natures and hardly any SP.

    @LordFrigid Nice one, I didn't think this one could be OTK'd. Where was the Ally Support needed though? I can't tell, it doesn't look like D!Ephraim had Spd issues or like Sophia had tanking issues.

     

    e: I just realized Atk/Spd Form gives a free point of Atk and Spd. The Sword Fighter had just enough to double Brazen'd D!Ephraim if the Ally Support wasn't on. That's hella rude.

    Huh. That’s weird. Based on the text, he should, but apparently he doesn’t.

    Spoiler

    LQDjDyc.jpg

    He’s not getting +1 Atk either, ceiling(57*.8) - 34 = 12 (in the screenshot he’s got Wings of Mercy instead of Lull Atk/Def). I guess there’s a secret condition on Form skills that requires at least one Ally to be in range? Ephraim doesn’t have anything that would cause that interaction. ...dang it, I literally just wrote the effect string for Atk/Spd Form for my combat simulator resurrection project. Now I have to go tweak it.

    In any case, the Ally Support was for Sophia. She needs the +1 Atk to get the Bramimond KO. She comes up just slightly short without it (Lull Atk/Res puts her at 54, so +1 combat Atk actually gets her +2 effective Atk).

    Nice clear yourself! RIP turn 3 reinforcements, spawning in the worst possible spots given your units’ positions. I’ll bet they were regretting their life decisions after that. Also the exact KO on Bramimond, wow.

    @Diovani Bressan

    Excellent use of the Whitewing weapons, and all the positioning skills that went into keeping their effects active. Palla loosing not one, but two Moonbows on Bramimond was awesome. Great work!

    @Maaka

    I like the Lunge craziness, actually. Very clever way to get Azura to reach the Cleric. Excellent use of Eliwood, too, and Lilina getting the exact KO was icing on the cake. Nice work!

  5. This was pretty cute, albeit sparse Feh channel, and an interesting way to celebrate the anniversary.

    Both of the Byleth descriptions were wonderful, and Edelgard’s was absolute perfection. I wasn’t paying too much attention to Robin’s and thought it said that they shared a bond with Grima before I looked again and saw Chrom. They’re both short names and start with letters that look similar, ok?

  6. Bramimond isn’t what I was expecting, but it struck me as a fitting choice for colorless tome right when I saw the name. It’s especially fitting since I was 90% sure this month would be Dark, given their previous history with AR Offense Mythics. From what I know about him from reading (still haven’t played FE6/7), they seem to have nailed the execution here. I’m not looking forward to fighting him =P .

    I’d love to have a copy, and I’d really love to have Lull Atk/Res fodder...but I really need to try to save orbs for next month (assuming the green cast around Celica is good).

    Osian pitybroke me recently so I decided to put him to use instead of foddering Surtr~

    Congrats, she’s looking great!

    I’ve been coincidentally seeing pictures and mentions of Mirror Stance 3 Sophia for the better part of a week now...I kinda want to do it too, since I managed to pick up an Osian on the Even Wave banner.

    Huh, WoM Reciprocal Aid. That was pretty smart. You're really loving Leif, huh?

    He definitely does good work, though I think I’ve only really used him in Infernal thus far. He requires some pretty specific setups.

    Nice cavalry clear! Clever skill choice with the Drag Back on Cordelia. I didn’t immediately see how she was going to avoid getting taken out on the EP after eliminating the mage.

    Yeah, but his bulk is really high reaching the 90s, so I am not sure how effective the Galeforce team would be if they cannot rely on Wings of Mercy.

    Depends on the matchup. 3 Mov for all Infantry in range is pretty good, with Reposition and/or Smite on your Mythics, WoM might not even be necessary. One other avenue that might be worth exploring is a hybrid type team, where Ephraim goes in to knock out something you don’t want to deal with (or something where opening up that space messes with the enemy team’s gimmicks), then just runs away. After that you drop in your EP unit to occupy the enemies so they don’t reach him.

    I’m a fan of his dynamic with Duo Alfonse, personally. One-hit Galeforce (with Quickened Pulse) is all kinds of fun, and Alfonse’s dual phase capabilities make him great at following up on Ephraim’s initiation.

  10. @Diovani Bressan

    Nice work on that Saizo solo! Preventing Edelgard from getting Victorious Axe’s effect off at the start was great, then the map basically beat itself with that weird enemy split and the movement range mismatch on the right.

    @Landmaster

    Nice set of clears, there! I see Elise has taken the ol’ Gronnwolf out of storage. Poor Dimitri never stood a chance. F!Byleth had to receive some pity-screen-time at the end of the second battle from Lysithea, but she made up for it with a strong performance in the Byleth/Sothis clear.

    ~

    Dimitri has a lot going for him. He’s got great Atk, good Def, Lull Atk/Def, a 1-charge Vengeance...unfortunately, he’s also on a horse.

    I was going nowhere with Sharena and F!Byleth happened to pitybreak me while trying for Lysithea which was like, best case scenario to be able to get a crown this week~

    1. Congrats! 2. Are you serious right now? F!Byleth also crashed my Lysithea pulls...with +HP/-Def. I used Ryoma as my bonus unit though

  12. @Landmaster

    Congrats on securing your one week of freedom!

    Also congrats on both of those clears. I was afraid Impostor!Elise was going to pick up another boss kill until I remembered the carrot.This battle really didn't give Elise & co. trouble at all. As for the BL clear...Galeforce Dimitri, Gravity strats, and Byleth cutting down the Flame Emperor? I approve.

    @LordFrigid I redid my Saizo video, now without taking damage. Can I have those "no damage" style points now?

    Yes, you most certainly can. Is this a bad time to mention that I’m not actually keeping track of style points?

    On 3/10/2020 at 3:02 PM, SatsumaFSoysoy said:

    @LordFrigid I love Idunn... I wish I got like... one. My friend uses a +10 one with Summoner Support and DC Special Fighter Pulse Smoke in AR, and he doesn't need his brain.

    Someday, I’d like to get to that point. I was sad when the 3rd unit on the Idunn & Fae BHB banner was Roy.

    Nice work on that clear! Sothis had a close shave with those mages at the start, but Sirius+Wrath proved too powerful in the end. I really liked the use of Creator Sword to show the Flame Emperor just what you thought about Guard Axe and Wary Fighter.

  14. @Diovani Bressan

    Is that...+20 to all of Saizo's stats between the replicated Hone Spd 4, Bonus Doubler, and Saizo's Star (on debuffed enemies)? That's just evil. +Style points for ending the map in the units' original starting positions even though Saizo wasn't at full HP. Nice work!

    ~

    I couldn't stop after the traditional Galeforce clear. That defense tile was too enticing.

    Also I rate that "Perish" as not Erica Lindbeck/10.

    I usually don't like to blow up peoples' inboxes, but it's a special occasion!~

    *shrug* I was fully expecting this post to happen sometime today, anyway.

    Congratulations! The game’s best Staff Cav is looking awesome! So which Elise is next?

    Y'all know she has waves of Skill Sets but I'm showcasing this one since it's usually the default~

    You haven’t shown a unit true favoritism unless they’ve got an extensive skill closet, after all.

  16. I was freaking out about Anima/Earth/Water, and ended up not running into anything super-cancerous. I’m 90% relieved, and 10% disappointed...I was admittedly curious as to how I would’ve fared against a map stacked up with Thrasir, Alm, and Azura. Anyway, no deaths on offense and -38 on defense resulted in a T27 finish (13682 Lift).

    Wow, Pegasus Flight. Was that the difference-maker against the sword armor? Also, I still am not sure how that skill works in regards to the Spd check.

    Also I lold at the dragon clear. WSothis just laughed at Chrom, even though he's so dangerous to... a lot of things.

    Re Pegasus Flight, she only needed it for the blue mage. The armor would’ve taken 2x 51. As for the stat checks, it’s:

    • your (visible Spd + Phantom Spd) + 7 ≥ enemy (visible Spd + Phantom Spd)
    • your visible Res - enemy visible Res

    That was my initial understanding, and I just wandered into Sothis Abyssal (thank you Odd Spd Wave blue mage that starts right next to her!) and tried things out, to be 100% sure.

    Nice job on your clear! Lots of close fights at the beginning, and you really weren’t kidding when you said you got a lot of mileage out of a rushing approach. ...followed immediately by one of the hardest retreats I’ve ever seen. I’m kinda surprised the map let you get away with it.

  18. @Diovani Bressan

    Well. DC/Close Call Alm is exactly as disgusting as I thought he would be. Nowi did great, like usual as did male B Tome Nowi on a Horse.

    Nice work!

    4 hours ago, Landmaster said:

    Hmmm, I wonder if we found the one voting for Edelgard~

    Ah, yes, that was me, and my 2115 alts. For real though, the last thing I need right now is another copy of Edelgard.

    Nice job on your clear! I especially liked how Nowi just refused to take damage from those red enemies at the end. And of course, just like in the Chrom & Lissa BHB, legendary Chrom uses his assist to catapult himself towards the team, where he is promptly eliminated by staff Elise. Poor guy just can’t catch a break.

    And with that, I think operation catch-up is complete...sorry about your notification inbox.

    ~

    Celica had a bit of a rough time at the very beginning, needing to deal with a Blue mage and high-Res R Tome Cav in the same turn, but it wasn’t so bad after that. Future Vision is much more annoying in the AI’s hands, at least in this battle.

    Spoiler

     

    Thrasir’s green-ness meant Chrom had a bad time. This one was a little more straightforward than Celica’s, fortunately.

    Spoiler

     

    Finally, the Dragon Wagon returns for my theme team clear. Maybe it’s a bit soon, but I really wanted to spite Chrom’s Armor/Flying effective bow. Duma even got to put in some actual work.
