Zkirsche Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Then I pick Ilyana, which is the right time for now God damn, I wanted Ilyana before Calill. Now I'm stuck wasting a speedwings on a unit. Grumble, grumble. Anyway, i guess I'll pick Janaff and Shinon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Alright. I suppose I will choose Devdan Ulki Devdan ULKI AND THAT IS MY FINAL ANSWER Also, I guess it's reasonable for us to start now, seeing as how the earliest undrafted character is Brom at present who's not around until chapter... 8-ish?

Lilmik11 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I pick Stefan, Eclipse picks Largo. My team is: Ike Titania Royal Kieran Jill Astrid Mia Ilyana Gatrie Devdan Shinon I really like my picks, I got quite lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) That leaves... Tauroneo and Ena/Nasir, right? I will take the dragon. Ike Titania (Laguz Royal Here) Boyd Tormod Muarim Tanith Ranulf Haar Ulki Ena/Nasir Welp. I know I'm looking forward to having pretty much no units to use for the first half of the game 8D (I'm fairly sure that Ike, Titania, and Boyd are capable on their own though). Also that's a grand total of four units that I've ever really used before in PoR (Ike, Boyd, Tormod, and Ranulf)... this should be interesting 8D Edited January 5, 2011 by Garlyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zkirsche Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) I really like my picks, I got quite lucky. Well, you wouldn't have got Ilyana without eclipse's mistake... btw, I did up to chapter 5. --Prolouge-- And we call this game easy. Turns: 4 Total: 4 --Chapter 1-- Titania doesn't rescue Ike, but runs as far as she can and kills the bandit. Ike fights a fighter after being traded the fighter band by Boyd. Oscar rescues Boyd. Second turn, Ike moves up and heals. Titania kills boss and cantos into a very specific spot (wrong one and Ike gets blocked.) Third turn, Titania gets seraph Robe. Ike seizes. Turns: 3 Total: 7 --Chapter 2-- Ugh, a few resets to this one. Everyone except bandits targets Ike over Oscar. Bandits, however, like to be assholes. So when Titania comes she kills one. Ike died a few times, but that was due to poor positioning/running out of vulneraries. Titania rush killed the boss. Turns: 4 Total: 11 --Chapter 3-- So much for recruiting Marcia taking a turn. Titania got a critkill on the boss on turn 3 EP. Shinon distracted the enemies before the boat. Had Ike equip the knight band, Titania equip the fighter band and Shinon equip the Turns: 3 Total: 14 --Chapter 4-- Haha, it seems my luck has improved since my RD draft. Fairly standard, but with Shinon's help as distactor. I had a bit of a scare, however, when the enemies by the boss blocked Titania's way. Luckily, Ike came in to critkill a fighter that blocked Shinon, who killed an archer that blocked the boss, who was then proceeded to be fought by Titania. He attacked Shinon on the EP, and got critblicked as a result. Funnily enough, archers preferred attacking Shinon to fighting Titania, who couldn't counter.

Cecil Hoshino Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Well you did say you wanted Calill before you mentioned wanting Ilyana, so... Anyway, I should probably get started.

Fayt Zelpher Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 @Kevin: I think you made a mistake in totaling your turns. If you did 4/3/4 for Prologue through C2, you should have 11 total, not 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zkirsche Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 --Chapter 5-- Fairly standard stuff, anyone not named Shinon/Ike/Titania ran to the east, whilst Ike stayed on the defend square, allowing Shinon to take care of the west (and by "take care" I mean "distract"), while Titania rushes the boss. The javelin broke :( and I have 5 uses of the hand axe left. Turns: 6 Total: 22 --Chapter 6-- Ike rushes out and gets attacked by an archer and a soldier (the javelin one is taken care of by Titania.) Then he does his last action of the chapter and kills the poleaxe knight (with a 42% displayed chance of death), before being rushed over to the boss by Titania. Turns: 6 Total: 28 Chapter 7 I can forsee being a huge pain. Well you did say you wanted Calill before you mentioned wanting Ilyana, so... I think it's obvious I'd rather have Ilyana than Calill, tbh. :/ Not that I really care (though i won't complain if the decision is overuled of course :P) @Kevin: I think you made a mistake in totaling your turns. If you did 4/3/4 for Prologue through C2, you should have 11 total, not 10. That I did, I'll just fix that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 So much for recruiting Marcia taking a turn. I imagine it would be more difficult without Shinon and/or Gatrie.

Zkirsche Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I imagine it would be more difficult without Shinon and/or Gatrie. No, the turn was saved by the hand axe crit by Titania, not by Shinon. Provoke. Still, I thought that it wouldn't be as effective as that. Not that I mind him doing it, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 No, the turn was saved by the hand axe crit by Titania, not by Shinon. I was talking about recruiting Marcia taking a turn. I finished that in 3 with a Hand Axe crit as well, but Marcia was dead by that time. Having to make sure Provoke!Shinon and Gatrie aren't attacked is quite a handicap.

After-battle stats: Level HP St Ma Sk Sp Lk Df Rs Ike 02.57 19 5 1 7 8 7 6 0 Chapter 1 Oscar trades Paladin Band to Boyd, and passes Fighter Band to Ike. Boyd stays back to take out a couple enemies and grabs the steel sword on the third turn; Titania picks up the Seraph Robe on third turn as well. ...Oh hey, I totally forgot to equip the Paladin Band on Boyd that whole time DAMNIT ALL.

Boyd goes right, Ike goes left, I pray to the RNG gods, because Boyd NEEDS to dodge at least one attack (It doesn't matter what or when it is, but he absolutely has to; nor can he afford to miss except near the end). Rhys gives vulneuraries to Ike; Oscar's extras go to Boyd in exchange for the Steel Sword, which gets passed to Ike during the next turn. Boyd is on the right so he can get a Steel Axe from the enemy that has it. Had a funny attempt where I forgot to switch Titania to Steel Axe, missing the 4-turn kill, figured I could let Boyd get the kill on the boss - and then the boss decided not to attack and I ended up on turn 6 so I said 'oh screw this' and restarted. Final attempt that succeeded, I had some hilarious results – Ike and Boyd dodged like crazy, and I decided to accept it, despite forgetting for the first turn once again that Boyd needed to equip his band. I will accept the minor growths loss. "Alright! Somehow, we did it!"

I have to slow down a little so as not to take a turn penalty from enemies attacking Gatrie or Shinon; so Ike goes into a blocking position and Titania snipes an axe fighter on the right before canto-ing forward further. Ultimately I am very lucky that the game favours attacking Ike over Gatrie because this fact saves me from incurring a penalty several times. Ike collects the Elixir on the fourth turn. I probably should have arranged a method by which to collect the Hand Axe. Oh well.

Tormod Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Current Data, up to chapter 7's end Chapter 4 I was dreading this chapter and for good reason. My first thoughts are, of course: "how the hell am I not going to take a penalty". Shinon, Soren, Gatrie, and Rhys all book it to the northern corner, with Gatrie sticking his neck out to deter attackers (Once again they much prefer targetting Ike over Gatrie). Titania equips the Thief Band she won because she might as well, and then wades right into the wall of enemies, while Ike tries to distract the enemies from squishier/provokier targets with the Regal Sword equipped (He provides entertainment in the form of a couple surprise criticals). I can also confirm I really, really, seriously, should have found a way to snag the Hand Axe; it would have saved me at least one turn and plenty of trouble. Ultimately, the RNG favoured me enough to allow me to get through on turn 4. Turns: 4 Total: 19 After-battle stats: Level HP St Ma Sk Sp Lk Df Rs Ike 06.33 23 7 2 9 10 8 7 2 Titania 02.85 34 13 4 13 14 12 11 7 Chapter 5 Now that I have Boyd back, I pass him the Speedwing from Titania before the stage starts, because I've still got about ten chapters to go or something before I have any more units, and I might as well benefit from it now. I was seriously considering giving Ike the Seraph Robe, as I am getting sick of his low durability early on (And it really shows this chapter!), but I'd rather hold the ones I will get for Tormod and Tanith; they'll be needing them much more (especially Tanith who has hilariously low HP). I had intended to rush the boss and have Ike and Boyd hold off, but that quickly proved a little overwhelming no matter how I tried it. So in the end, I decided to have Ike and Boyd form a diagonal barrier between the defense point/my party and the enemy, and let Titania hang out halfway between them and the enemies, picking off as many as she could. Turns: 6 Total: 25 After-battle stats: Level HP St Ma Sk Sp Lk Df Rs Ike 07.24 24 8 2 9 10 8 7 2 Titania 03.23 35 13 4 14 15 12 12 7 Boyd 05.35 33 9 0 6 10 4 5 0 Chapter 6 Hey, you know what's great? The chips and dip I munched on while doing this chapter. You know what isn't great? THIS GODDAMN CHAPTER. You know what is great? Boyd defeating Myrmidons. You know what isn't great? MY RESULTS. I don't want to talk about this. Turns: Uh... I -think- it was 8, but as I didn't lose any BEXP it could've been anything from 7-9. We will find out once we are done. Assuming 8 for now.

Titania gets given a steel lance before the chapter begins because she's running out of weaponry. I send the three out west to take care of immediate dangers, and then Ike and Boyd double back to the right to cover the party's rear and beat up the stuff that Mia will, infuriatingly, have lured over to you. Titania hesitates at the west side, then grabs Miracle and retreats once things are relatively safe to trigger Shinon and Gatrie's appearance, and then heads south to intercept the reinforcements. Afterwards everybody doubles back up north to clean up. I ended up grabbing Ike the Armorslayer, and slowing down in the last couple turns - I had very little healing to fall back on and didn't want to risk a death at this point, so the final couple turns were played a little too safe, perhaps, despite the fact Titania probably could've finished things off a turn or two earlier. In the end though, the extra turns gave me just enough time to also snag the Ward staff, even if it's just going to be sold later or something.

Tormod Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Current data, up to Chapter 13's end Chapter 8 Preparations: Now that I finally have a chance to relax, I give Boyd the Archer Band and Titania the Knight Band; Ike keeps the Fighter Band. Most shit gets sold (Including all staves, magic, bows) to make money to get some goddamn replacements because I could use them.

Chapter Execution: Poleaxe/Handaxe Titania to the south, Hammer/Handaxe Boyd to the east, Regal Sword Ike to the west, enjoy the results, and don't make the mistake of thinking that you'll be able to win in two turns by killing the boss, because apparently you can't, as I found out on my only failed attempt.

I don't even spend any BEXP; I could, but I'd rather save it up for future units that will be joining. I'm overlevelled as hell already. Chapter Execution: Titania rescues Ike turn one, turn two drops him off, and they go have a hilariously good time at the southern end.

Let this be a note to self to stock up. They're goddamn wonderful. Finally, hired Volke because I plan to make use of him to find shit in the desert.

My Ike, my level 8 Ike, couldn't dodge the lances of the soldiers at all. So many resets until finally I found the right position, but it took him so long to win it. Titania went east and north, Ike up into the 2 ranged lot (other way leads to certain death... so yeah. Forgot that taking a seraph robe doesn't heal you by 7 at the same time. 23HP/ 7~ def is so bad for this chapter its unreal. But, anyway, it was partly my fault too for forgetting to kill the hammer dude. I may go back and try a different strategy or two, but I've had enough of that chapter for now.

Tormod Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Current data, up to Chapter 17's end. Chapter 14 Preparations: Stared at the average stats chart for a bit and realised that Boyd will now likely cap speed thanks to Speedwings and a band raising his Speed, even if I remove the band; since that's achieved, he swaps to Priest Band to hopefully eke out an extra couple points in Luck and Resistance by the end of the game, because really, he's not going to need anything else. Chapter Execution: Boyd and Titania take their handaxes and go north, with Boyd start off and Titania rescuing him to get farther, drops him off on turn two. Meanwhile, Ike migrates south for the winter and visits a house for some Energy Drops because why not, then kills some straglers because he can.

Also one of the two Seraph Robes I've been saving. I also realise I can't raise his staff rank via arms scrolls, and curse up a storm, but oh well. Muarim is given the Thief Band for a couple levelups, then the Demi Band gets returned to him. He also gets Guard, because... well, why the hell not. Ike gets the Boots, which leaves Boyd as the slowest member of my party. Titania gets a forged Steel Axe finally, because she deserves it and is starting to not quite be so stand out suddenly.

Part 1: Boyd stays back to take care of reinforcements from turn 3, while the rest of the squad charges forward. I feel like I should really be saying more, but there's nothing more to say. Titania isn't strong enough to kill everything on turn 3's enemy phase, sadly, preventing a super-early victory. Part 2: Shortcut across the swamp as best I can, Boyd stays back and farms for EXP on the stuff that charges me from the left side, because he can. A little shoving lets me get Ike to the point on turn 4, and having that Longsword on him gets me the Poleaxe drop. Part 3: Tormod gets to collect some staff EXP in this part; that's about the only noticable thing. Can't speed it up, afterall. Ike tries to stay out of trouble for this chapter, because he has nothing to gain by participating and is busy rescuing someone anyway, while the others can at least get small amounts of EXP. Part 4: Charge the boss using Tormod and Muarim together. I kill the Halberdier using Tormod to get Adept, and the space that opens up allows Muarim to rush in and claim the kill on Oliver (with Guard/Cancel activating to make it completely one-sided), finishing in 4 turns. Finally, Ike is promoted and no longer lags behind!

Zkirsche Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 --Chapter 10-- Used Krad's 3 turn strategy except with Marcia instead of Oscar. Turns: 3 Total: 61 --Chapter 11-- God damn, Titania, get more Atk! leaving all the generals with 1 HP is so irritating. Could've been 4 turns if Titania critted the knight but... my luck has finally run out. Ah well, the next few chapters are just blitzed by Marcia anyway :). Turns: 5 Total: 66 --Chapter 12-- And this is where it all pays off. Marcia rushes the boss, Titania and Ike let themselves get attacked. Simple stuff. Turns: 2 Total: 68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) I said I'd start today, and I did. I think I'm on the right difficulty (the save file is blue). Stats won't come as often as I do with SD, because my TV and computer are in different rooms. Prologue - 4/4 Blah, blah. Ike got an awesome-oh wait, this is fixed. I'll have to get used to this! Chapter 1 - 3/7 Despite the mother of all positioning errors, I managed to get everything. Boyd hung out in a corner. Chapter 2 - 4/11 Had Ike not been so dodge-happy, this would be five turns. Oscar relieved Ike of some of his stuff, and Ike emptied Titania's inventory, so I wouldn't have to drop anything. Chapter 3 - 4/15 Due to the way I positioned everyone, I had Titania Hand Axe the boss to death. Skipped the Elixir (hope this doesn't bite me later!) Ike holds the Knight Band. Titania has the Archer Band. Oscar's got his original Band. Chapter 4 - 2/17 Titania critical on turn 2. I don't think much else needs to be said. STAT TIME~!
