H2 PMU playthrough

[MarioKirby]

Due to some of the team members I've proposed in some of the other Pick-My-Unit topics, I feel like attempting one of these myself. Probably not going to get much attention due to the five others that have already started, but whatever.

Rules and whatnot:

1) Playthrough mode is H2, as explained in the topic.

2) I will be playing as efficiently as I know how, meaning that I might not get 4- or 5- or even 10-turncounts, but I also won't sit around 30-50 turns boss-/arena-abusing.

3) Due to reclassing appearing four chapters in, usable units before this can only gain 5 levels in their original class unless they are allowed to.

3.5) Units gotten within a chapter also follows this rule, too.

4) Jagen may be used until chapter four as well, then he is killed-off UNLESS he is chosen for the playthrough.

5) Julian may be used solely as thief utility, unless he or Rickard are chosen.

6) Non-usable units MAY: meatshield, shop, trade items, and recruit other usable characters. They MAY NOT: enter combat armed and recruit other non-usable units.

I'll explain some other things as I get to them. Cool?

The fighting force:

1) Marth

2) Barst: Fighter->Hero

3) Midia: Swordmaster

4) Roger: Mercenary->Horseman

5) Roshea: Cavalier->Sniper

6) Caesar: Hunter->Berserker

7) Radd: Cavalier->Swordmaster, Dracoknight

8) Abel: Cavalier->Dracoknight

9) Macellan: Mercenary->Horseman

10) Wrys: Curate->Dracoknight

11) Draug: Fighter->Hero

12) Navarre: Cavalier->Swordmaster

13) Vyland: Mage->Swordmaster

14) Maria: Cleric->Bishop

15) Tomas: Cavalier->Paladin

Barst: Fighter -> Hero

give you a break for this

[Maji]

Swordmaster!Midia, she seems to be a popular choice among PMUs.

[Whitefang]

Mercenary -> Horseman Roger.

[Parrhesia]

Cavalier to Sniper Roshea.

EDIT: Previously Merc>Horse Caesar. Then I looked up a post.

[Vicious Sal]

Hunter ---> Berserker Ceasar then.

And Cavalier --> Swordmaster/Draco Radd.

[Venusaur]

Abel Cavalier -> Dracoknight

Well, here's your MVP.

[XiSrOn]

Sorry, but everyone's being nice to you so I'm going to have to ruin it.

Macellan: Mercenary -> Horseman

[NinjaMonkey]

Maria - Cleric

Edited September 7, 2011 by NinjaMonkey

[mmKALLL]

Wrys - Cleric-Draco

[a.f.k.a. Howard Hughes]

draug Fighter!hero

[HF Makalov Fanboy Kai]

Wrys - Cleric-Draco

why.Jpeg

unlike stuff like Darkmage -> Hero Bord(which is the strange class switch i'm stuck with) that actully gives you some advantages apon promotion, this one clearly doesn't help out Wrys at all.

you might as well be giving him Dolph Cleric -> Beserker or some shit like that

[eclipse]

Ooooh. . .

Navarre: Cavalier -> Swordmaster

[General Horace]

Yes! Again, Vyland Mage --> SM!

[MarioKirby]

All proposed characters have been updated, with the exception of NinjaMonkey's. (No promoted class)

Looking at the team so far, I say I'm getting off easy. I have some excellent characters in excellent classes (Abel, Barst), and most characters are still in relatively helpful classes for them. (Caesar, Roshea) The only weird class-switch so far is Wrys. Watch me start getting stuff like Sorcerer!Lorenz.

I just want to screw you around without telling it directly.

Just promote her into whatever Clerics normally promote into (I think it's Bishop, but I'm not all that sure...).

[eclipse]

You are missing the last Skittle. This is bad.

Tomas: Cavalier -> Paladin

[MarioKirby]

Okay, so I have some good news and bad news.

Good news: I managed to finish chapter 1 quite sucessfully. Bad news: I came here and noticed that Navarre was a part of the team...and I had killed Caeda off in this run of said chapter. Which always seems to happen in these types of playthroughs.

So, in short, chapter one progress will be updated pro'ly tomorrow or something. After I get over my inner rage.

EDIT: Okay, so after cooling off for a bit, I finished up chapter one again.

Turncount: ~20 turns (I forgot to get the actual number...Regardless, the number is atrocious, I know.)

First off, I had Marth and and Abel take out the thief south of their starting position. Caeda sold her useless Wing Spear and bought Mr. Saving Grace (Jagen) an iron lance. Cain traded his equipment to his buddy, then lined up with an unequiped Gordin to block pirates with their faces. Draug joined them as well, but with a weapon. Then, I sat and weathered the pirate rush, to which Cain and Gordin fell. Caeda ran and hid over the ocean in the bottom-right corner.

After that was done, Marth snatched the 10k from the village (which Jagen shopped a bit more with.), then it was basically a matter of luring with Draug and slaying with Marth and Abel. Marth employed Wrys and had the curate heal him, then with Abel and Jagen, he rushed to the boss, who fell to several volleys of javelins and a rapier to da face. Marth managed two decent level-ups, and both Abel and Draug gained one, though Draug's was abysmal.

Stats so far:

Name     Class     Level   HP  Str  Mag  Skl  Spd  Luk  Def  Res
Marth    Lord       3.91   20   6    0    4    7    9    8    0
Abel     Cavalier   2.92   20   7    0    7    7    2    8    0
Draug    Knight     2.30   21   7    0    3    3    2   11    0
Wrys     Curate     1.68   16   0    2    5    6    2    3    6

So, shortly after posting meh chapter one progress, I finished Chapter Two.

Turncount: 16

Began by blocking all the bridges with bodies. Marth and Abel covered the two western bridges, while my meatshields de-equipped/traded away their weapons and face-blocked the north bridge. Caeda went sight-seeing over the ocean again, and Draug helped out Abel. Enemy phase, the initial moving enemies come, killing the axe twins in the process. (They completely ignored Ogma, however...) I also managed to get exp out of Darros. After cleaning up the north island, the rest of the chapter was baiting and smiting. Marth visited the village and got 5k to help some cleric. Ogma charged ahead and failed in his attempt to arm-wrestle Gomer; instead, Gomer fell from Marth poking him with a rapier, followed by Barst lobbing an axe at 'im.

Stats:

Name     Class     Level   HP  Str  Mag  Skl  Spd  Luk  Def  Res
Marth    Lord       5.46   21   7    0    5    7   11    9    0
Abel     Cavalier   4.59   21   7    0    9    9    3    9    0
Draug    Knight     3.40   22   8    0    3    4    2   11    0
Wrys     Curate     3.38   16   0    4    6    6    2    3    7
Barst    Fighter    6.13   26  12    0    8    9    7    6    0

Chapter 3, comin' at you guys.

Turncount: 24 (Still atrocious)

Basically, Marth and Jagen headed left to deal with the initial Fighters, while everyone else moved north to help Julian. Navarre was the first to attack anyone, which made Caeda's job easier. With Navarre recruited, she just sat around and fell to a nearby hunter. Lena also meatshielded for a turn or two.

After all the moving units were dealt with, the northern group just moved along the top of the map, while Marth and Jagen baited and killed the two hunters. The two remaining fighters were slain easily. Navarre got the privilege of Hyman's bounty; he deftly dealt two criticals, then finished him.

Stats (After reclass):

Name     Class     Level   HP  Str  Mag  Skl  Spd  Luk  Def  Res
Marth    Lord       7.08   23   7    0    6    9   11    9    0

Posting from my 3DS, so bear with any misspellings.

So, I realized that I screwed up again in this playthrough, as I killed her off YET AGAIN before she had recruited everyone that she has to. Stupid Roger.

As a result, I will be starting over AGAIN. For the second time. Next time you see me will be after another round of chapter 3.

[MarioKirby]

Posting predominantly to show that I am still working on this playthrough.

A few things relating, however, to not make this spam. First, I was lucky enough to have a mid-chapter save on chapter two, so I din't have to completely start over. (Thank goodness) Second, I have actually completed up to chapter 8; the lack of updates is due to a lack of time. I will try to get a recap tomorrow, or at the very least sometime this week.
