BEST TRYNDAMERE PLAYER Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Keep in mind that unlike in RD, Titania can use axes and lances at base, so if she runs out of weapons, just take them from Oscar and Boyd and plow them with BEXP later. Don't forget Gatrie's Steel Lance as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Chapter 7 I start off by sending Soren to chip a Soldier and have him activate Adept. Titania goes far left side and kill another Soldier so she can lure other enemies to her. Ike stays in his place to make Mia's recruiment faster. Later, Shinon and Gatrie distract a whole bunch of enemies while Titania keeps on killing a few to the lower-lft side of the map and later moves tp the middle side to assist Ike and the others. Oscar hardly did something with a Short Lance (2 Uses) and a Javalin (Again, with low uses). So I had Soren 2RKO a few armours along with Titania. Shinon was pretty damn close to dying, as he was left at 2 HP about twice but got healed with a Vulnerary and had lucky dodges. Gatrie was also pretty damn close to death when a Mage left him at 2 HP. I was very lucky he 1HKO'd it. Titania went for the boss the boss. Ike ended it by killing the only Priest.

Shinon's tanking was very useful this early. Although this was the first time he was this close to death. Chapter 8 In the first two turns, Titania equipped a brand new Hand Axe to wipe out the horde of Cavaliers. Oscar went to the left side to chip some Knights to simply hold them off. Mia stood at the right side at range of an only Mage that went for Rhys. After almost all the Cavaliers were wiped out (With only three left), I made Titania go to the left side entrance and Oscar to the right. Soren helped Oscar kill armours. Mia helped a bit with the Priest killing and some low-HP enemies. Titania cleared the path for Ilyana to pass, so I could easily recruit her. I had her chip Priests or something for Exp expecting at least a critical. The boss went for Titania, but she only had 1 use of her Hand Axe, but luckily, she had a Hammer. Titania demolished that Knight with her Hammer. 8] Unit Lvl HP Str Mag Skill Spd Luck Def Res Ike 9.06 27 10 4 10 11 10 7 5 Soren 6.60 22 0 10 12 10 5 2 9 Titania 7.82 37 16 5 19 18 14 13 11 Oscar 10.53 29 10 2 10 12 8 13 2 Rhys 6.56 22 0 11 9 6 8 2 15 Mia 8.25 23 9 1 12 15 7 8 4 Ilyana 6.25 20 1 8 10 9 6 3 10 Chapter 9 I have Titania front the map as always. She goes for the first armours while Lethe takes on Soldiers and 1RKOs them, which I must say, it's something I didn't expect she would do in MM. Ike, Oscar & Rhys simply follow but stay out of enemy range for a while, as to make things faster. Mia, Soren, Ilyana, Mist & Rofl take the other side and go for the Fighters and Mages. Mia does pretty well on halving their HP and letting Soren and Ilyana take the kills considering they get to double some Fighters. I didn't expect I'd be using Mist at all, but she really did help when Fighters could 2HKO that small team. Very few enemies went towards Ike, the very few were killed by Lethe. Leaving only like 1 or 2 enemies so that Ike and Oscar can kill. Titania kept on going closer to the throne until the enemy reinforcements appeared. Ike recruits Marcia and has her ferry him close to the throne. Titania weakened the boss and left him at low HP so that Oscar could kill. Unfortunately, Oscar missed at 50% hit but didn't die. I moved him aside from there and left Titania at 2-range from the boss. Finally, Titania killed the boss.

I would be risking 700 BEXP and arriving in less than 12 turns. Chapter 11 Before I started, I dumped 1 level of BEXP to all the characters I am using, with the exception of Ike, Mist & Rhys. Nephenee got 2 level-ups, a Seraph Robe, an Arms Scroll and a max Mt Steel forge. Mordecai ate the Speedwings I saved. I started by sending to the nearest path towards the exit equipped with a Javelin to weaken Cavaliers, Knights and kill those annoying Mages and their pesky 2-range. Mordecai uses his first use of the Laguz Stone and goes for the enemies to the west side. Nephenee takes on the Soldiers at the start of the map. Ike and the others follow Titania while staying out of enemy range. After Titania kills those enemies blocking the fastest route towards the exit, Soren and Ilyana are shoved at range of two remaining armours and finish them. Oscar visits the house that offers you a Dracoshield, since Mordecai can't. Ilyana visits the other house to get an Elwind. The boss goes up against Titania and she uses his last use of her Javelin against him to later kill him with a Steel Axe. Later she kills a few Cavaliers up there, kills the Knight and arrives.

I only see a few more crows. As always, Titania 1RKOs them. Soren & Laguzslayer!Mia were pretty helpful, but less than I thought they would be, since they stayed in the back line.

Just now a friend told me that. I was going to post something like "Mia. Vantage. 255% Critical forge. Good game.", that would be too simple. 8] Besides, 2-range enemies aren't letting her do that in Ch 13, but she sure does 1RKO about more than half of the map. IMO in MM of the two myrmidons you get, Zihark would be the superior choice with Muarim as his support buddy. They were on the same level, yeah. But Mia had Spd and supports lead, so he would just be a filler. I have Mordecai anyway, who will be supporting Mist & Ilyana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Mordecai anyway, who will be supporting Mist & Ilyana. Her support table is ass compared to Zihark's. Doesn't really give her what she needs and you already killed off Rhys which is her best support partner for all-out offense. And reason why I say ZiharkxMuarim is nice because of the fact that Zihark's an earth affinity and Muarim's affinity also gives avoid on top of that, who is Zihark's only avoid partner. A support with him would get him 22 avoid which is very nice for an SM and even Muarim likes that. Although Mist x Mordecai isn't a bad choice simply because they're both water and are both equal in terms of mobility(Well, once Mist promotes anyways) but there won't be a lot of moments where Mordecai will get Ilyana's benefits and even Ilyana herself is a questionable unit in MM. Another problem with Mordecai is that he starts off chapters with a 0-gauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most laptops, as far as I know, come with integrated graphics, as graphics cards drain battery power and, at least for most users, provide no upgrade in functionality because the average user doesn't use a laptop for graphically intensive tasks such as gaming.

Fenrir Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 pretty long vacation. What happens if soul gets back and no one posts on this topic, making it out of the first page, that would mean he'd be necroing, but it would be ahnoying if he had to make a new topic or just not finish the playthrough.

Tables Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 [spoiler=Necroposting rules]Necroposting (post in a very old topic) is forbidden. If a topic has not been posted in for 1 month AND has fallen outside the first page of a board, any posts made in that topic will be considered necroposting. Instead, if necessary, simply make another topic. This rule does not apply to the creators of art topics, hacking projects, and other threads of similar nature that need to be updated. Examples of acceptable use of necroposting are: You have a project thread, and you must bump it to alert people to an update you just did. You have some well thought out criticism to post in someone's art thread. This is acceptable as long as the thread hasn't been devoid of activity by the artist for more than 3 months. You have a bug report for a Hack. This is acceptable as long as the thread hasn't been devoid of activity by the hacker for more than 2 months. It's pretty much covered by the bold part. Anyway, I'm not sure if I posted here before or not... but I'm following this. It's pretty interesting. I know things get particularly interesting around chapter 18, when you stop seeing unpromoted enemies. Which is good, because Hard mode's 'unpromoted enemies until chapter 25' nonsense makes chapter 20-25 laughably easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkhead Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 It's been a while. Hello. Chapter 13 Since there were tons of enemies in this chapter, I had Titania field in the middle of the boat to take out the trash. There was a pretty strong Halberdier among them that launched forward. I put Ike at Astrid's reach. Volke went to the first chest and then moved a little to the left from to prevent Raven's from passing. Nephenee went and helped killing the Ravens along with Gatrie's help. The other guys mainly just stayed in the first boat until Titania cleared most of the enemies. Mia killed a Raven with her Laguzslayer. Mordecai did a fine job tanking and killing the Fighters and Myrmidons at Norris' boat. After Titania killed Norris. I had Soren, Ilyana and Astrid kill the Raven left-overs. Unfortunately, I was careless and couldn't stop one Raven from stealing the Energy Drop. I only recieved the Speedwings, an Elfire tome, Laguz Axe, a Longsword and an Occult scroll. Well, that's most of the treasure...

Titania went to the middle of the map with a Javelin still equipped. I left Soren and Ilyana to the very south of the map, since all they did was shove Mist, and Soren killed two Bandits. Ike, Mia, Oscar and Astrid killed a few more spawning enemies in the middle of the map while Titania went at Gashilama's range. Gashilama attacked Titania but failed to hit.

Junkhead Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 Chapter 16 Before starting the chapter, I dumped 2 levels on BEXP on Ike, 3 on Astrid, and gave most of the characters I will be using some to gain a full level up. I also forged a max Mt Javelin for Titania, and I also had her equip the Knight Ward for better Spd. It's time to bench a character...I chose... Mia She really has nothing going for her now. I decided to bench her in favor of Astrid, who grows insanely fast, is able to double, has high move and later gains 1-range combat. I would've kept using Mia if I had more BEXP and she had critical bonus. I found her really helpful earlygame, though. Here we see a few more promoted enemies. Just a few more. A Sniper and a Halberdier at the entrance hall. Titania rushed in while Oscar, Nephenee, Mordecai and Astrid followed not too far behind. The rest did what they could to follow. I had some enemies blocking Titania's way killed so she could reach the boss as fast as possible. Oscar ferried Ike for a while. My goal here was to steal the Dracoshield. It's the least I could do if I want to lowturn since, the Archer, Soldier & Thief that spawn around Turn 9 in the others modes spawn around Turn 2 here.
