[FE9] Core's FE9 Draft

[Deliriyum]

Chapter 8: 8/50 Turns

Mia was durable enough to hold a chokepoint, and I made an iron sword forge for her and Ike to share.

Chapter 9: 6/56 Turns

Took me a few tries, but I was finally able to do it in 6 turns. Titania rushed for the boss, while my other guys cleaned up the leftovers. Mist had to stay back because everything except archers ORKOd her.

Chapter 10: 5/61 Turns

Mad dash for the escape

Question: Are undrafted thieves allowed to open chests and chests only?

Chapter 11: 7/68 Turns

The problem with this chapter was that not even Titania could ORKO the sword cavaliers. A bit of luck also helped. I swear Ike got at least 4 criticals with his Regal Sword.

Question: Are undrafted thieves allowed to open chests and chests only?

No. Not in any previous drafts.

[Deliriyum]

No. Not in any previous drafts.

Meh. That's unfortunate. I guess I'll have to save my chest keys for resolve and wrath chests.

[PKL]

Kieran makes it up for the turns he costs me in chapter 10 right? Kieran and marcia have made otherwise easy rush chapters into slow wait for me and recruit me chapters. :(

[Xander]

WHOA wait a minute. Why is Boyd's bexp at +0 upon entering base but Oscar's at +1? How is that fair? As if Oscar wasn't already at a higher level and a better unit due to being a mount, he doesn't need more bexp than Boyd as well.

Either bring Boyd up or him down.

No he doesn't, you should have let me have him, you don't even need a Paladin.

Also @Core, I'm wondering if you gave Oscar +1 just because you have him, since he doesn't even have it on the original bexp limits, and he has no reason to deserve it.

No, actually, I didn't. I'm not trying to cheat here. The purpose of giving Oscar that level was to even him up with Kieran(Which it did) Boyd was simply overlooked. Feel free to give Boyd 1 or 2 BEXP levels. Obviously, these BEXP levels still need a bit of tweaking before future drafts.

[Excellen Browning]

Being allowed to give one of the best drafts more BEXP than a worse one is just odd.

EDIT: also limiting BEXP just increases RNG abuse.

Chapter 12 7/83

Marcia was given the draco for this chapter. And an iron crit forge. Couldve been 3 turns but i decided against promoting marcia so early. In turn 7, the robe raven was critkilled and the other remaining raven sd'd too. +Robe :D

Base: +50 bexp to marcia/soren/rolf

Gave marcia the robe

Chapter 13 7/90

gave marcia my keys and she flew around getting chests and routing in the process. Titania kieran rolf soren helped with routing while ike guarded the defemd tile and astrid chipped. Sothe helped with the eastern chests then north.

Edit:

Chapter 14 4/94

Easy chapter. Titania weakened boss then marcia got the kill. Kieran got the red gem by killing makalov xd. And sothe got the dust.

Chapter 12: 8/76 Turns

Good exp, I got very lucky with this one and was able to kill the last raven on EP.

Chapter 13: 10/86 Turns

This was frustrating at first, because I had to keep Astrid alive, and didn't have enough drafted people to shove Ike within range. The rest was pretty easy though, and I got most of the chest items.

[Radiant Dragon]

The fuck? Oscar and Boyd should not be getting more than +0.XX levels of BEXP. That's the kind of idea I'd expect from Psych.

[Kaoz]

I have to agree with this, even that isn't actually necessary and just looks nicer for whatever it's worth. What happened to the original limits btw, I never saw them being brought up again in Integ's topic.

I have no idea. I know some of them were discussed to be raised for people like Mist, Rolf and Tormod in the Tellius Drafts, but Oscar and Boyd?

Edited August 5, 2011 by Radiant Kitty

[Deliriyum]

Not sure why Zihark's BEXP was raised. He should be +2.XX anyway since he can get EXP in his starting chapter.

Devdan is still too high. +2.XX should be good.

Calill still isn't fixed.

I honestly don't know or care what to do with Elincia, but --/9 still sounds too high.

Why didn't you mention that back when you posted your other concerns?

[Radiant Dragon]

Why didn't you mention that back when you posted your other concerns?

Because I didn't think to anyone would seriously think it would be good idea to raise their amounts, so I didn't look at Boyd and Oscar.

Edited August 5, 2011 by Radiant Kitty

[PKL]

I routed 17-3 in 4 turns but it didnt end. Is it a forced 10 turn? Btw bexp limits on marcia only serve to give her a slow start but once she gets going, shes as ridiculous as always.

[FalconVegeta1986]

I suck at this. The prologue I don't remember if it was 5 or 6 turns, i'm sure it was 6 since I usually let Boyd attack me first so Ike vs greil ends with Ike at 1HP. Next chapter took 10 turns, it was mostly an Ike solo, with Titania getting a kill whenever Ike couldn't survive all attacks, and I missed the seraph Robe. Chapter 2 is horrible, i couldn't keep Oscar or out of combat, and both have been attacked twice so far, so i'm not sure if that winds up being a penalty. I'm still there too, so there's more turns to be added.

I also realized I don't get anymore units until chapter 11, which should prove so much fun for the next couple chapters with forced units. At least i'm getting the best earlygame Ike i've ever had thanks to fixed mode, even without the robe.

Do I automatically lose if I let one of my drafted units die? Because without being able to pack bexp onto Rhys, I don't think i'm going to be able to protect him and get him levels without using other units. I'd just rather let him go.

First of all, how do you do the prologue in anything but 4 turns? Next chapter 1 should not take 10 turns, you should use Titania and you can get it done in 3 turns, 2 if you have Oscar (which you don't). I can't help you with your problem of not having any more units until chapter 11.

No you don't lose automatically if a drafted unit dies, but it shouldn't be that hard to keep Rhys alive honestly, just keep him out of combat.

This is my first draft, i'm not used to trying to get low turn counts outside of ranked runs in FE7. Plus I made several mistakes with my draft picks.

While that's true, an Ike + Titania run of earlygame is possible though a bit more difficult than normally. Even when lowturning.

It's not exactly difficult, it's mostly annoying (Chapter 2 and Chapter 7). Titania is just so good.

Please answer my question, 17-3 forced 10 turns no matter what i do? I routed the map in 4 turns but nothing happened. Im already at chapter 19 but i left a save just in case.

[Xander]

Yes the objective is defend for 10 turns
