(FE5) Thracia 776 Draft

[Ranarius Webfoot]

Well, I'm no FE5 expert, but I'd think it'd be an advantage to be able to spam awesome weapons like Light Sword and Hero Spear with 5 repairs waiting for you...

[Psych]

A Safy penalty is 4 turns. And you can use all 5 uses of her staff in that chapter, for just 4 turns.

I'm pretty sure that those 4 turns can make up however many Brave Weapons/Light Sword/Personal Weapons make up for.

[Ranarius Webfoot]

Huh.... I have never done a draft before, so... Is it the case, then, that these turn penalties are per chapter? Not per game?

[dondon151]

I'm pretty sure that those 4 turns can make up however many Brave Weapons/Light Sword/Personal Weapons make up for.

No way. Repairing those weapons will make up 0 of those 4 turns.

[Psych]

Well, I suppose Warp. But it's impact has been lessen. A few people can just PCC and things, but those weapons help shave at least 4 combined in one way or another in a draft with at least Leaf's Light Sword.

Playthrough

Chapter 1: 9 Turns

I decided to ignore the Pugi house since Othin can't be used anyway. Everything was going pretty smoothly with Eyvel and Halvan doing most of the work while Leaf was missing or doing minimal damage. The boss took a hit from Leaf for some extra EXP while Eyvel finished him off.

Chapter 2: 6/15 Turns

This chapter was a combination of taking advantage of the "recruitments are free" rule, splitting my units up, making them avoid the reinforcements and a little bit of luck.

I like chapter 2 because it's such an early chapter which way to beat changes drastically when played efficiently.

Chapter 2x: 12 Turns

Took the upper path, let Eyvel kill the Warriors and capture Lifis while Halvan intercepted the few bandits coming from the left and I had him destroy the few myrmidons with his Hero Axe no less thanks to lol 5% WTDA.

Units

Leaf: Only chips or misses. While everyone else gets vulneraries I let him use his Light Sword exclusively for healing. Good in combination with Ronan.

Eyvel: I think I'm giving her a bit too much EXP and promincence. She does her job really well though.

Halvan: While Othin is always hailed for being godlike Halvan's near-godliness makes him a really good unit. Vantage also put him out of many sticky situations.

Ronan: Chips enemies from a distance. Good in combination with Leaf.

Lifis: The new guy. He still has yet to show his potential.

Chapter 1 : 6 turns

Eyvel and Fin rescue/drop Leaf on the first turn, though Eyvel gets lucky with a movement star and gets to move forward again, fighting some mooks with Fin's Iron Sword. Halvan follows behind, never getting caught in combat. Fin captures a Javelin/Vulnerary Soldier and takes his shit, Eyvel kills the Hero Axe village Soldier for Halvan to pick up his tool. Dagda shows up and goes south to get the Vulnerary in the village, Fin goes northwest to the Life Ring village, but a slight miscalculation and a miss costs me a turn. Fighting in the eastern trees, Eyvel gets a movement star again and uses it to cook Weissman in his armor. Meanwhile, Leaf gets a sweet ass level up by fighting the Soldier and the Archer there.

Leaf         2.68  |23| 4| 0| 3| 5| 6| 4| 5| 7| C Swords

Dagda        6.12  |43|14| 1|11| 9| 2|10|15| 7| A Axes, E Bows

Chapter 2 : 5 turns/11

Leaf goes north, gets rescued by Eyvel and dropped by Fin, while Dagda visits the village. Dagda then goes east to kill Pirates and Hunters, capturing a Hand Axe/Vulnerary Pirate. Fin recruits Ronan and both go eastwards. Ronan trades some items so that Dagda can have the Hand Axe and the Vulnerary while Fin gets the Speed Ring. Leaf and Eyvel head towards Bucks. Leaf weakens a Hunter on player phase 3 thanks to a movement star while Eyvel stays behind. After being shot twice on enemy phase, Leaf and Eyvel attack Bucks. He's weakened by Eyvel's Fire Sword enough for Leaf to kill him with his Light Sword. One of the weakened Hunters takes the throne back but is slain by Eyvel and her Iron Blade. Leaf then seizes.

Chapter 2x : 11 turns/-

Fin gives the Life Ring to Leaf and the Speed Ring to Dagda, which they use on the first turn. He pretty much stays behind to protected the Undrafted Ones from the Pirates with his Javelin, which has six uses left in the end. Leaf races to Rivis' throne along with Dagda and Eyvel. Being a Warrior, Dagda's a bit slowed down by the terrain at times, but manages to be a valuable ally when he captures a Warrior and uses his Steel or Hand Axe against Pirates and Hunters. Shortly before the last bridge, Leaf gains yet another movement level up, which gives me flashbacks of an earlier run where he gained two before even entering Manster. Against Shiva, I use two uses of the Light Sword to weaken him and Dagda captures him with the Hero Axe. Since I won't need him later in my run, I choose to steal his shit with Eyvel and release him. On the next turn, Eyvel captures Rivis and Leaf seizes.

Leaf         7.52  |35| 7| 1| 5| 8| 8| 5| 7| 8| C Swords

Dagda        7.08  |43|15| 1|11|12| 2|10|15| 7| A Axes, E Bows

Chapter 3 : 9 turns/20

Pretty standard rush for the throne except for Fin, who stayed behind to fight the Soldiers and the Archer. He got a Short Lance (finally) and another Vulnerary in the process. Dagda captured a Soldier for a Door Key and used a Hand Axe on enemy phase to kill the Mage and the Archer. He took substantial damage in that enemy phase and couldn't use Duel anymore, however. Three kids were sent to their homes via rescue chains for a Shield Ring, the Baldo Scroll and a future Warp Staff. Poor Dalsin's going to get slaughtered either way. Eyvel and Leaf rushed to the throne. She weakened Robos enough for Leaf to get a kill thanks to a critical on his Killer Sword. She proceeded to capture the Bishop after. Some item management later, Leaf was left with the Light Sword, the Killer Sword and the Hezul Scroll for him to bring in Manster. A few movement stars definitely helped in this chapter. You'll be missed, Eyvel.

Leaf        10.98  |38| 9| 2| 8|10|10| 7| 7| 8| C Swords

Next update once the Manster arc is done I suppose.

EDIT : Forgot that gaidens didn't count when under 20 turns. My turns of free level ups no!

Chapter 1, 6 turns. All items obtained, Leaf rolled a re-move and I used it to get him some experience. Gotta love Light Brand's secondary effect. Leaf got 7 Move now.

Chapter 2: 4 Turns. While testing stuff out Eyvel rolled a re-move after rescuing Leaf on the first turn and then I just went with this. Got the Gaiden. Othin has 7 Move now.

Marty got +1 Speed and I gave him the Speed Ring.

Chapter 4 : 14 turns/34

Ingenious trading and some lucky movement stars helped complete this chapter in a somewhat low turn number considering I only had Leaf + 2 free units. Lara was obvious, while Machua won me over Brighton thanks to her higher movement. Went clockwise, releasing all prisoners. The Mountain Thieves were a pretty big help this time around. For some reason, no Soldiers popped up to grab the NPCs leaving their cells until I opened the top door, so they followed me to the top room instead of being random idiots. Nothing else noteworthy, but I left a lot of chests behind, namely everything I didn't bring with me, except the Rapier, which is going to fit very well in Machua's hands. I still wish I could've drafted her but Psych stole it from my hands and I had to settle for Dagda. Oh well. No one was left behind, but Dalsin died.

Chapter 4x : 12 turns

I'll admit in manipulating the stats of the enemy Mages at the start by restarting until the Door Key one could survive two hits Leaf's Light Sword. Leaf went northeast and attacked the rightmost Armorknight at range and killed him, while Machua was a few spaces under him, blocking the way of the Soldiers. Everyone else was behind, not wanting to get attacked. On the first enemy phase, Leaf levels up and gets (it's getting a running gag here) a movement level up, putting him at 9, while leaving the Mage I wanted alive at critical health. Rivis steals his Door Key (items are fine for undrafted guys, just a reminder), while Leaf and Machua kill the last two Mages left and Lara opens the southern cell. On the next turn, the key is given to Leaf so that he opens the big door to the north and Lara opens the northern cell. The Soldiers to the top all decimated by their wing magic, Asvel recruits himself and Sety comes near Karin, which is perfect since she gets the Sety scroll on player phase. Opening the door to the northwest, I get the Hero Sword and the Life Ring from the chests. Asvel uses the latter immediately. The next room is filled with enemies, but with the help of Sety, Leaf, Asvel and Machua easily kill them all and capture the Bishop for his stuff. Lara opens the last door and everyone leaves.

Chapter 5 : 19 turns/53

Standard run counterclockwise, fighting enemies left and right. Little opposition was given to Leaf as he maxed his level while Asvel fought very well against the long range opponents, namely the Archers and Mages in the middle of the map. Since Leaf had so much more movement than everyone else, I took the liberty of capturing a few enemies with valuable items using the Hero Sword. I didn't take any of the chests, however. No one left behind except the statue of Eyvel.

Chapter 6 : 11 turns/64

Leaf, Asvel, Nanna and Machua went west and fought the Knights and Mages while the rest of the troop was led by Lara and her Lockpick. Karin was busy going from village to village on her mount. Asvel promoted and no one was left behind.

Chapter 7 : 10 turns/74

First surprise : Shiva was actually around. Nevertheless, Asvel went up to fight off Eisenhowe, Karin took the western villages and everyone else didn't move. Once Fin popped up, everyone started to move south towards Mease. Shiva was recruited after Fin stabbed the two other Swordfighters to death, while Leaf and Nanna fought off the remaining Swordfighters. A bit before leaving, I had some fun in the arena with Nanna, Fin and Asvel after selling Eyvel's Iron Blade for 820 gold. At the end of the chapter I had in the early 4000's.

Asvel has a fatigue of 50 (he's also with only a few uses of Fire left before burning through Graphcalibur...) and Nanna is really close to the fatigue point herself.

Chapter 8 : 5 turns/79

Sold some stuff early on, got 10000 gold in total. The chapter itself is straightforward. I brought Karin in to shop along with Rivis. They bought a good dozen of door keys, which should be useful in the following chapters. Carrion traded shit around and Othin recruited Marty, who was trying to buy a weapon, but he got cockblocked by the Mountain Thief. Leaf, Nanna and Fin rushed their way through. Fin got some really solid level ups there since he had most of the scrolls.

Chapter 8x : 12 turns

Tanya starts by using a Torch and Dagda positions himself 3 spaces above her to tank the Mountain Thieves. Asvel and Leaf go right, Fin and Nanna go left. Once the Mountain Thieves are killed, Dagda moves up and snipes the Thief with his Iron Bow. Doing this triggers most of the Hunters and the Hand Axe Mountain Thieves to come out and attack him, only to be shot repeatedly. Leaf and Asvel come to clear the Steel Axe Mountain Thieves, then Asvel goes to get the right chests. Fin and Nanna, thanks to their lower movement, go slower but manage to join the group. Tanya gets the left chests while Asvel goes north to get the Leg Ring chest, which goes straight to Leaf.

Chapter 9 : 8 turns/87

Took this one a bit slow since I wanted some level ups on Kein. Dagda also managed to break his first Iron Bow so that he can use the higher ranked ones. The boss and most of his troops were dealt with Nanna, who was given the Wrath scroll.

Chapter 10 : 11 turns/98

Selphina and Asvel go north so that Selphina can use the arena, gaining a level up almost every turn since she was dismounted. The Fire Sword Armorknight is captured with an effort of Leaf and Nanna. Leaf goes north to grab the Rescue village while the rest of the army, led by Fin, go west and fight the Armorknights. After retreating from Fred and Olwen, Leaf and co rush to the Bishop and then to the throne. Nanna promotes along the way and kills Largo. After Selphina's trip to the arena, I have about 15000 gold. The M Up village couldn't be saved from the Thief.

Nanna and Dagda will be fatigued for the next chapter.
