Toothache Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) Another option that might be considered is randomly selecting difficulty level, in addition to the units and the herons. You would then have two playthroughs at Easy difficulty, two Medium, and two Hard. I chose easy mode for my first playthrough, but the rest I'll pick randomly. First heron I am using is Reyson. Second playthroughMakalov Nolan Jill Vika Mia Meg Ulki Gatrie Aran Nealuchi Difficulty: Normal; Heron: Rafiel Third playthroughLaura Danved Calill Marcia Nailah Naesala Lyre Mist Shinon Soren Difficulty: Normal; Heron: Reyson Fourth playthroughBastian Tormod Kyza Leonardo Astrid Muarim Skrimir Stefan Oliver Rhys Difficulty: Easy; Heron: Rafiel Fifth playthroughKieran Lucia Janaff Boyd Edward Elincia Volke Tanith Brom Rolf Difficulty: Hard; Heron: Leanne Sixth playthroughTitania Pelleas Lethe Heather Tibarn Ilyana Tauroneo Ranulf Renning Volug Difficulty: Hard; Heron: Leanne Ironic that the last two rolled also turned out to be the two hard mode playthroughs. I'm looking forward to number 4 and 6 especially, and 5 should be nuts too. As for my current playthrough: First playthroughGiffca Zihark Mordecai Haar Oscar Sigrun Fiona Nephenee Caineghis Geoffrey I'm almost finished, just completed 4-2. Since this is on Easy mode, most of the units are already capped or nearly there thanks to a combination of bexp abuse and level up resetting. I should have plenty of stuff left over for Caineghis and Giffca when I obtain them, most of the stat boosters are unused. I think I threw a Robe on Fiona, and the Talismen on Mordecai.

Toothache Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Well, first playthrough is complete. It mirrored my very first play of the game in a lot of ways, since I used a lot of the same units (Haar, Zihark, Caineghis, Giffca, Nephenee). Since this was on Easy mode, I took the time to abuse a lot of units for max stats, probably too much time. Fiona was the biggest problem to raise, but everything else went smoothly, and Fiona became quite useful after I'd maxed her out. Final stats: Giffca - Support Caineghis Haar - Support Sigrun Ike - Support Geoffrey Mordecai - Support Oscar Fiona - Support Zihark Weapons: Ike - Ragnell Zihark - Alondite Haar - Urvan Sigrun - Wishblade Fiona - Forged Silver Lance Oscar - Forged Steel Lance Geoffrey - Forged Silver Lance Top 5: 5 - Fiona 4 - Oscar 3 - Zihark 2 - Nephenee 1 - Haar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybee Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 So yeah, I'm still on 1-E :( Tormod's still level 5, will probably hit level 6 this chapter. I'm trying to save up the BEXP for him in 4-4. Micaiah is level 20, I promoted Jill. Nolan sucks ass. The only ones that can fight without majorly getting screwed are Nailah, Tormod, BK and Sothe >_> I'm pretty much screwed for 3-6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redthir Jerdisheim Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Group 1 - Heather - Is a relatively useless Endgame unit, Sothe is forced and is better for combat. Laura - Good growths, made crap by her class. I foresee her sucking in the end. Ilyana - I was surprised by how good she's turning out. She's very good on this playthrough. Skrimir - Is the same ownage unit we all know and love. Leonardo - He's average. Better than what I expected anyway. Boyd - Is awesome. I think we already know that. Tauroneo - He's OK. Not really a good unit, nor a bad one. That being said, he does have Resolve which is a very useful Skill. Oliver - Oh my god... Lethe - Can't see myself using her much. Kieran - Is probably going to end up as my top unit. Predicted top 5 - 5. Ike 4. Leonardo 3. Ilyana 2. Boyd 1. Kieran Group 2 - Nolan Caineghis Mia Renning Pelleas Astrid Titania Rolf Lyre Stefan Pretty mixed here, but I have some awesome units. Having seen Lyre's growth rates, she probably has better potential than Lethe. Group 3 - Janaff Tanith Tormod Shinon Danved Muarim Oscar Nephenee Mordecai Giffca A lot of units I don't really use. Oscar's high Resistance might make him useful in 4-E4. Janaff has become good in my past playthroughs; I'm quite interested to see how he'll fare in the Endgame. Nephenee always seems to suck in my playthroughs (never getting Strength). Tormod seems to have good potential, shame about his availability. Mordecai could go either way.

Redthir Jerdisheim Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Group 4 - Volug Ranulf Geoffrey Haar Gatrie Kysha Marcia Meg Nealuchi Aran Gatrie and Haar together? This really will be awesome, despite Kysha, Meg and Nealuchi. The other 5 units fall somewhere between. Group 5 - Bastian Elincia Edward Fiona Volke Soren Sigrun Lucia Rhys Naesala Apart from Edward, Soren and Rhys these units all have very low availability. I know that Volke is a very good unit, as are Elincia, Edward, Soren and Naesala. Fiona is something I'm really not looking forward to and nor are Lucia, Sigrun and Rhys. I've no idea about Bastian. Group 6 - Ulki Mist Brom (WTF?) Makalov Calill Vika Nailah Tibarn Zihark Jill Notice how Brom is the only slow unit in the team? Vika has incredible speed, Ulki has probably the best avoid in the game, Makalov has an insane speed growth etc. With 2 Laguz Royals this is probably going to be the easiest team to use.

Jaybee Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Reached 3-2 :) Rolf is doing pretty awesome, and I forged him a 15 Mt Steel Bow and a bit of hit. It got a +2 Mt card. He's not really doubling anything but Generals and Sages, but it's pretty easy for a weaken + kill. He's practically got the highest attack on the team with that bow :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayt Zelpher Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Group 3 - Janaff Tanith Tormod Shinon Danved Muarim Oscar Nephenee Mordecai Giffca A lot of units I don't really use.

No, Mordecai is going to easily be your best unit not named Ike. You're going to love his 32 base defense. Take Tauroneo's resolve scroll and give it to Ilyana. Then, Mordecai gets that scroll the second you start 3-2. Why is he getting the resolve scroll? He's got high HP He's got very high defense By untransforming, he can get hurt enough easily to fall into resolve health. And I'm sorry about getting Tormod and Muarim in the same PT. Neither is around, so neither is getting the levels that he needs in preparation for the tower.

Vika has incredible speed, Ulki has probably the best avoid in the game, Makalov has an insane speed growth etc. With 2 Laguz Royals this is probably going to be the easiest team to use. Volug will be a star unit during the DB chapters at the very least. Eddie and Soren are not "very good". Just so you know. As for your last team, let's see. Mist is nearly unsalvageable, Brom is a nightmare to level, levelling both Makalov and Calill may be tricky, and Vika is falling behind after being missing for two thirds of the game. Nailah and Tibarn will be very helpful, and Ulki, Zihark and Jill will fill in the blanks while you lack royals. It may not end up that easy at all.

Boss abuse on 1-7 + paragon on Vika should help her significantly. If you can get her a few levels (fight untransformed for much more Exp), have Micaiah sacrifice, Sothe shove Mickey out of the boss's 2-range, and Laura heal Mickey. Boss attacks, Vika counters. Get her strike to SS and her level to ~22-24, and she'll be usable. You'll also want to pull the paragon scroll for 1-E so the DB can use it in part 3. But do take her and have her boss abuse Jarod to get to ~26-27. She'll be quite usable for endgame if you do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fei Mao Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) Just for clarity you want us to report how the units turned out in the tower like this right? or something different? (from my older post) Finished first playthrough (Normal mode) Top five 5.Michiah 4.Geoffery 3.Rolf 2.Aran 1.Ike Units I had to bring to tower: Lucia,Brom,Aran,Geoffery,Mordecai, Janaff,Tauroneo,Soren,Calil,and Volke. Lucia:Needed blossom and bexp gave her adept and cancel and Vague Katti she did well against all the enemy types in the tower. Brom:Did well at tanking physical units and countering (gave him Urvan) though his low speed caused him to get doubled he does not do well past the third floor. (he'll need a speedwing or two) Aran:Did excellent at the tower doubling and tanking but Aran needed a lot of bexp before he can manage himself. (gave him Wishblade) Geoffery:Did decent (gave him brave lance) basically he did as well as if Oscar was brought into the tower. His speed cap didn't allow him to double some enemies.He needed some bexp and to be fed some kills during 4-5. Mordecai:Did well at tanking physical units and countering but unfortunately he was doubled by almost everything in the tower,so he needs speedwings and speed level ups to be useable. Janaff: Basically the lesser version of Tibarn he did well and since he was one level away from being able to use the satori sign was a plus, tear allowed him to one hit kill every enemy without Nihil. Tauroneo:Had less def than Gatrie but was still good at tanking both magical and physical units due to his high res, and also due to his high magic for a general I gave him imbue which served him well. He needed some Bexp(Gave him a Tomahawk) Soren: Did well considering he doubled most of the enemies besides some of the spirits (gave him Rexcalibur) Calil: Did well also she had more dodge than Soren and basically the best candidate for Rexflame and same as Soren doubled most of the enemies besides some of the spirits. Volke: Did well doubled all the enemies in the tower and has lethality which was useful in some situation as in one hit ko some dragons and Second Run:Nealuchi Makalov Kieran Tormod Jill Naesala Titania Vika Marcia Rolf Edited January 8, 2010 by Patchouli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaybee Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I'm pretty far behind, so I guess I should post a bit. I'm in 3-6 now, the GMs are doing fine. Rolf needs a bit of help to KO, Rhys has 20 Spd at level 12 (I knew he was awesome.), Neph has pitiful Str (About 17 at level 10, though that's only 1 below average), and in unrelated news, Titania and Haar are racing each other to promotion, and I've barely used Mia.

BBM Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hmm, I don't have RD, but this looks fun just to see the teams and lol at them, and I've read enough to be able to do so, theoretically, at least. Team 1 Edward Heather Muarim Danved Lyre Naesala Bastian Haar Rolf Oliver Haar and Naesala are good, Rolf, Heather and Edward are okay, everyone else... isn't. Team 2 Shinon Rhys Ulki Lethe Mordecai Brom Callil Tormod Tauroneo Tanith Random and irrelevant, but the names of the last three all start with T. Hmm, again, one or two good units, a few okay ones, and the rest crappy. Team 3 Aran Tibarn Lucia Pelleas Renning Elincia Boyd Jill Geoffrey Oscar Pretty solid, only two really bad units. Team 4 Gatrie Caineghis Vika Sigrun Marcia Titania Stefan Leonardo Nailah Ranulf Well, that's not too bad either, aside Leonardo and Sigrun. Team 5 Soren Janaff Zihark Astrid Nephenee Kieran Nolan Kyza Mist Laura Ehh, 2 healers, and two CRKs? Team 6 Volug Giffca Volke Meg Makalov Nealuchi Skrimir Ilyana Mia Fiona Some really good units like Volug and Mia, but also two of the worst DB members... Overall, no team seems to be really really crappy or bad. Doesn't matter, of course, as they'll never be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfgar85 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I'm new to the the forums and this thread interested me.

Run 1: Lucia Rhys Calill Leonardo Caineghis Laura Lethe Tibarn Rolf Elincia No lance users, two Saints, two Marksmen and Elincia. An OK team. Run 2: Tauroneo Oliver Sigrun Haar Ranulf Zihark Meg Naesala Pelleas Ulki Too many late joiners...
