[FE8] Chain Support Draft

[Hawk King]

Chapter 8: 8/56

If Franz could have hit Tirado this could have been 7 turns but the armorslayer has crappy hit. I wish i thought about this awhile ago so I could have gotten Franz's Lance rank to A for the much more accurate Silver Lance. Got the robe.

I will be taking Eirika's route because I have Saleh and Geric.

Eirika route.

Chapter 9 (24/90)

Nnnnnngggghhhhh. Stupid map. Lute got to level 10 and promoted to Mage Knight for staff usage and extra mov. Had to take my time otherwise I couldn't avoid someone getting killed.

Chapter 10 (5/95)

Vanessa ferried Eirika to the boss section and she killed Pablo with the Killing Edge. Everyone else trained.

Chapter 11 (12/107)

Garcia takes Gerik's Hero Crest and promotes to Hero since I need another sword user. Garcia and Ross go south and the rest go through the inside. Got Dozla and all the treasure.

Chapter 12 (14/121)

More routing. The reinforcements are really annoying here. Ross is getting horribly speed screwed.

[Hawk King]

WTF?! 18 LV ups and Ross has only gained SPD once???

That is the most screwed stat I have ever seen... Thats a bummer cause Ross is usually a really good unit.

[Tycho]

Chapter 18: I warped people all around, used my first Hammerne. Still took 7 turns, could've been faster with better planning. The two spider reinforcements on turn 6 screwed me over. Marisa finally got to promote to Assassin but who cares now...

7 turns / 160 total

Chapter 19: One turn clear with Vidofnir Cormag activating Pierce.

1 turn / 161 total

Chapter 20: Cormag took a Pure Water and got warped to the boss on turn one. Riev missed so Cormag could survive. Killed the boss on turn two and warped Ephraim to the throne, used Hammerne to restore Warp to full uses. Myrrh got a couple of levels.

2 turns / 163 total

Final-1: Warped Myrrh to the boss on turn 1. With two crits at 15% I could've one turned, but that's rather unlikely to happen. So I settled for a two turn.

2 turns / 165 total

Final-2: Ephraim couldn't double the boss, so I had to rely on Eirika, she needed to dodge a 60% deadly hit. Cormag doubled with Vidofnir and Myrrh got warped to the boss for the finisher. Eirika dealt 44 dmg, Cormag 38 and Myrrh 38 = exactly 120 damg.

1 turn / 166 total

Eirika: Lv 20/04, HP 33, Str 21, Skl 23, Spd 23, Lck 22, Def 12, Res 11

Ephraim: Lv 20/07, HP 42, Str 18, Skl 23, Spd 20, Lck 17, Def 15, Res 15 (1 Dracoshield, maybe Talisman, don't remember)

Cormag: Lv 15/17, HP 59, Str 25, Skl 22, Spd 25, Lck 15, Def 20, Res 7 (Angelic Robe, Secret Book, Speedwing, Dracoshield)

Duessel: Lv --/16, HP 47, Str 22, Skl 15, Spd 12, Lck 10, Def 21, Res 10 (didn't get any speed)

Amelia: Lv 10/02, HP 30, Str 13, Skl 16, Spd 15, Lck 14, Def 8, Res 9

Neimi: Lv 10/03, HP 23, Str 10, Skl 13, Spd 12, Lck 8, Def 7, Res 11

Marisa: Lv 10/01 HP 30, Str 8, Skl 16, Spd 18, Lck 11, Def 7, Res 6

Sorry for not posting more regular stat updates, but when I'm in the flow of the game, it's such a hassle to do.

[Hawk King]

Chapter 9: 11/67

Saved both villages. Franz killed about 75% of everything.

Chapter 10: 5/72

Franz cleared out the enemies. Fronde carried Eirika.

Chapter 11: 6/78

Franz goes right. Everyone else goes down.

Chapter 12: 9/87

Divide and conquer. Gerik got the boss kill.

Chapter 13: 2/89

Pretty simple. Franz killed Aias.

[Ciarre]

Prologue - 2 turns

Standard shit.

Chapter 1 - 5 turns

Again, standard.

Chapter 2 - 8 turns

;/ My team sucks. Hi Eirika solo.

Chapter 3 - 9 turns

Thank you, Colm, for opening doors for me. Pretty much had to go up, since breaking walls wasn't an option. Thanks for staying on top of your stats, at least, Eirika. Colm cleared the way so Eirika wouldn't get held up, Eirika got a rapier crit on the boss. Meh, it's not like I could've done this any faster anyway. It didn't really matter, since she would've one shotted him on EP anyhow. I actually could've gotten to the boss by turn 7, but enemies got in the way.

Edited April 11, 2012 by CR-S01

[Hawk King]

Hey, it's nice to see youre actually gonna do this CR-S01.

BTW, Eirika can solo Chapter 2 in 5 turns all by herself if she gains enough STR or lands some crits.

[Ciarre]

Then I'm going to have to do an alternate 5 turn for chapter 1, since the standard one doesn't give strength. I'll try it though.

[charlie_]

@CR I think I found a Eirika solo strat for the first 3 chapters that doesn't require an RN burn, lemme see if I can remember it...

[Hawk King]

Even without the STR a 6 turn clear would just be a matter of waiting 1 more turn.

[Ciarre]

Yeah, I tried it just now. I'll just go with the 6 turn for chapter 2.

[charlie_]

I've recorded the 5 turn if you want it, anyway.

[Ciarre]

I'd like to see it please. :)

Edit: and the beginning of FE8 takes like 5 minutes to do so yeah

Edited April 11, 2012 by CR-S01

[charlie_]

Okay, I'll upload it when I find where I put the file.

Edited April 11, 2012 by Serious Bananas

[Ciarre]

Thank you, Srs :)

Edit: yep, that worked wonders.

Prologue - 2 turns

As always.

Chapter 1 - 5 turns

With strength, thanks to Bananas :P

Chapter 2 - 5 turns

A more successful Eirika solo thanks to Bananas :P I did something different though because Ross managed to die and Eir's stats ended up different. I think it's because I got the red gem with Moulder. Meh.

Chapter 3 - 8 turns

8 turns, thanks to Eirika critting the mercenary near the boss. Then Eirika attacked the boss on PP, then finished on turn 7 EP. Colm and Moulder held the chokepoint and Colm attempted to kill things while Moulder healed, and then he traded his lockpick and vulneraries over so they don't get pillaged by the thief :B

Chapter 13 (2/123)

Mad rush to boss. Got Amelia for her Speedwing after missing her in Chapter 9. Garcia critted the Boss with help of Ross' A Support.

Chapter 14 (19/142)

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggghhhhhh. Ross got the Speedwing and promoted to Berserker. Deployed L'Arachel for Rennac, who pilfered the Hammerne and Spear before getting him.

Chapter 15 (12/154)

Lute got a Dracoshield and Secret Book, Ross the other Dracoshield, while Vanessa got an Energy Ring. This wasn't too bad. Ross and Garcia went south to help Ephraim handle the lower units, and Garcia critted Valter to death. Knoll got the Master Seal and Vanessa got it from him so she could promote to Wyvern Knight. She the proceeded to kill Caellach with Axereaver. Deployed Colm and Rennac and got Warp, Silence, Swiftsole and Wyrmslayer.

[Ciarre]

Chapter 4 - 7 turns

This sucks. Colm handled the top mostly, Eirika went down and murderized things. lolmoulder. You know you're doing it wrong when Eirika is your best unit.

Chapter 5 - 7 turns

Eirika ORKOs the boss with her rapier skills. Joshua hands over his killing edge.

Chapter 5x - 7 turns

Standard/10, plus Kyle.

Chapter 6 - 6 turns

Moulder torchspammed. Eirika is ridiculous, lolskill.

Chapter 7 - 7 turns

Eirika goes through the river, rapiers the boss. Archers blocked off Eirika by a turn, but Colm used this turn to steal the energy ring.

Chapter 8 - 10 turns

Colm nabbed the robe, everyone else is move deficient. Colm killed things around the entrance and helped out Kyle when he came by. Welcome, Kyle. The armor room slowed Eirika because I forgot to switch to the rapier.

[Hawk King]

@ CR-S01

You're screen shots dont add up. How does Mould gain 206 exp on Chapters 5 and 6?? 6 uses of torch in Chapter 6 gives 90 exp. How do you get 116 exp in Chapter 5 with only 7 turns??? Mend gives 12x7 = 84... Where is the other 32 exp coming from?

Your Moulder's LV was the one thing I questioned in that other draft too...

Question to all: Can we use warp or dance on undrafted thieves in Chapter 15???

[Ciarre]

I know for sure that Moulder staffed every turn.

Edit: yeah, I grabbed the wrong file.

On there, it should've been mol7, I took the stats from chapter 7 instead, which is mol8.

I put the chapter 8 Moulder for chapter 7 too at first, oops.

Edited April 13, 2012 by CR-S01

[Hawk King]

Ok that makes much more sense.

Haha, do you reset/retry if you dont get hit just so Moulder has someone to heal?? Youre dedication to him is amazing.

[PKL]

That explains it. I too saw the weird levels in the other draft. I guess CR just derped as usual. Also lol RN abuse to get hit.

[Jave]

Chapter 16 (10/164)

Knoll promotes at base to Summoner and gets the Goddess Icon because lol no luck. Rush towards the throne. Lute spams Barrier for rank. I had to waste a couple of turns because I couldn't approach the Purge sages without someone getting killed. Lure a few enemies out with Knoll's summons, and Vanessa kills Orson with a Crit. No treasure.

Chapter 17 (3/167)

Easy. Vanessa rushes to Lyon and kills him. Others got to train a bit. Couldn't get the Brave Axe, but I got Rescue.

Chapter 18 (10/177)

Lots of experience in this map. Vanessa killed everyone south, and the rest goes up. Everyone got a few levels.
