BBHood217 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Is this everyone's initial reaction to HHM Call of Dut--er, Cog of Destiny?
chococoke Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Probably. It was my initial reaction. Along with "holy shit I was not even close to being prepared to take on this level."
Raven Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Yeah I think it owned me first time. I struggled to beat it.
General Horace Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Harken + pure water does really, really well on this map.
BBHood217 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 You really can't screw around in HHM, can you? No support spamming, no using inadequate units, this mode must be played seriously.
Vorena Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 My first time playing through the game, I was not prepared either. No restore. No staff user other than pent. No barriers or pure waters. Actually, all my units were lacking resistance to boot. My solution next time around, support ring the peg. sisters and equip with a ton of javelins and spawn the map with reinforcements to make sure no more than 50 were on the map at one time to get through the reinforcements faster. I think I proceeded to take around the next 50 turns to make sure I didn't get beseeched by the Valkyries status infection.
Smiley Jim Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 To be honest, I wasn't fully prepared for CoD either. I had heard that CoD in HHM is a jumbled up mess full of sleep/berserk valkyries with more spd than they need, as well as 28 mag druids with status staves next to Lloyd. However, when I actually got to the map, I found out that most of my units I was using had shit for res(well, except for Pent, Canas, Farina, and Serra), and wouldn't take magic very well, and would face dangerously high hit rates from status staves even with full PW/Barrier. My solution was to get the Warp staff ASAP, then warp the physical unit with the highest res in my party(Oswin)into the group of valks after applying a dose of PW, while removing the sleep staff druid as a threat. While I was doing this, I had the rest of my units turtle in the center of the map(there is a rock formation with a corridor that serves as a bottleneck. I placed Canas there, obviously armed with Luna. With all that out of the way, Lloyd was the least of my worries. Other than having enough AS to not get doubled by max spd Raven, 32 crit, and an Iron Rune, preventing me from critting him to death. And the 'best' part about that last bit was that Legault couldn't steal it.
Celice Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Is this that large chapter where Vaida comes in? If so, I took on HHM with Rowen full of hand axes/javelins, and an Elixer. With a flier ferrying in pure water and new equipment whenever. He decimated the entire map.
Raven Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I am not one to use magic units, especially back in the day of total n00bness. I remember using Oswin and Hector to block the centre, being healed by Priscilla while Raven and Rebecca went the bottom way and Lyn/Eliwood went upwards. Other units were probably being used, like Florina, who probably flew towards the village to save it, then returning to help Raven and Rebecca. That's probably a close guess, at least.
Thor Odinson Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Farina basically made the map her bitch both times I've played HHM. Though getting rid of large amounts of magi is still annoying, since I always forget to get enough javelins then I had to conserve uses, so I couldn't just have Farina solo the shit out of it. Which...would've been a lot easier I mean those fucking Valks double half of my units At least Hawkeye+Pure Water takes next to no damage anyway
Ansem Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 >Benched Farina Also I remembered that Heath came with a Mine
