[FE8] Chain Support Draft


Jave

Recommended Posts

This is my first draft so let's hope it's a good one. I'm taking the concept created by Janissary on FE7 Draft #27243 and using it on FE8. Let's see if it works out. It may be a total mess, but we don't know until we experiment.

General Rules:

Drafting:

1. This draft is for 4 players.

2. Eirika/Ephraim, Orson, Tethys and Myrrh are free for all to use.

3. Seth is banned from all use.

4. The game will be played on Hard Mode.

Rules:

1. Undrafted units may recruit characters, rescue undrafted units and NPCs, trade, visit Shops and Armories and dig up items in the desert.

2. Undrafted units may not do anything not listed above, including but not limited to meatshielding, building Supports, and opening Doors or Chests.

3. Map shopping is allowed.

4. Skirmishes/use of the Tower or Ruins is disallowed. Skirmishes that are blocking your path may be activated and immediately fled from.

5. Defend chapters count the last played Player Phase for turns if the timer is waited out.

6. Trainees (Ross, Amelia and Ewan) are allowed to be trained to level 10/1 in the tower with help of undrafted units. That's the only exception of tower usage.

Penalties:

1. Undrafted units have a 4 turn penalty, per unit per chapter.

2. Seth has a special 8 turn penalty per chapter.

Exceptions:

1. Vanessa may be used to Rescue Ross in Chapter 2 even if she is undrafted.

Chain Support Rules:

Each drafter will recieve Eirika, Ephraim, Orson, Tethys and Myrrh for free. The remaining 28 units will be drafted in a randomized snake order draft. However, unlike a normal draft, where every unit is up for grabs, your pick must be connected to the unit you selected in the previous via the support list. For the first round, you must select a unit that supports with one of the free units. The idea here is to choose wisely early on, since a lot of regularly first-round picks aren't first-round picks in this draft. If at any time there is not a unit on the board that supports the unit you last chose, you may move back one selection until you find a unit you can pick.

Example: I picked Gerik, Joshua, Natasha, Cormag. On my fifth round selection, no unit that supports Cormag is available. I then move back to Natasha. If a unit supporting Natasha is available, I would select that unit. If no unit is available, I go back to Joshua, then Gerik, then free units. If no unit on the board supports any of my units (highly unlikely I'd imagine), any unit may be selected.

Teams:

1.- CR-S01 - Tana, Syrene, Kyle, Colm, Moulder, Rennac, L'Arachel

2.- Hawk King - Forde, Franz, Natasha, Joshua, Gerik, Saleh, Ewan - 122 turns

3.- Jave - Innes, Vanessa, Lute, Ross, Garcia, Dozla, Knoll

4.- Tycho - Artur, Cormag, Duessel, Amelia, Neimi, Gilliam, Marisa - 166 turns

Units Remaining (Those marked with * are available on a first-round pick)

Draft done, dawg.

Dammit, I'm too late. Oh well, I'm in too many drafts anyways, but still....such an interesting idea.

Just a correction. Ross/Amelia/Ewan are classified as Trainees, not Recruits. (Although, Amelia's class actually is called Recruit)

Innes

Now Tycho picks a unit that supports with the free units and another unit that supports with the first unit he picked.
