[FE10] Another RNG Draft

[Konnor97]

It's alright nano, there's nothing to be ashamed of. It just might be better to not use abuse as much, and rarely for levels (unless someone is getting super screwed). I, personally, abuse only really if I get into really stupid situations on enemy phase (like if I get someone in a situation where they need to dodge, say, a 90%), or for if a person is really bad in a stat, but only to a point (like Brom and speed). Though, then again, I abused pretty heavily to get Aran to get an Impale on Ike in the Haar draft, but what you did was not that bad.

[nano]

Thanks. I'll stay away from anything that is lower than, say 30%, in the future, and try to decrease the number of resets in general. I don't think my rigged levels for Leo mattered anyhow, since he doesn't really need stats with crossbows.

[Quintessence]

You're free to abuse in healthy ways, not going to extreme points.

[Konnor97]

Would abusing to let Resolve Micky dodge a few cavaliers in 1-6-2 be considered extreme?

[Ciarre]

No, resolve "abuse" is generally considered safe as far as abuse is concerned.

[PKL]

Well, if the hit after resolve is below 35 or so, go for it. Just no nonsense like dodging 60% hits after resolve plz.

[Konnor97]

When using battle animations when a unit is in resolve, do the numbers show what it would be with resolve or without? Like, if Micky was knocked into resolve range on PP2, and started battling the cavaliers on EP3 (not what actually happened, but as an example), what numbers would they show?

[PKL]

They would show the display hit with no resolve (its lame). You have to calc yourself. Just substract mic's spd to the display hit.

[Konnor97]

Hmm, still, I must be unlucky, because with the Haar draft on 1-6-1, Micky was facing hit displays of ~55%, but she was getting hit fairly consistently while being in resolve range while against those northern reinforcements.

[PKL]

They must have spawned in best bio :/. Usually, like in 90% of all drafts i do, micaiah for me is in best bio in that map

Edited May 31, 2012 by PKL

[Konnor97]

Micky always seems to be at worst bio when she is resolve abusing in drafts. The only exception I can think of was in the desert, but I think she was at normal, heading down.

[PKL]

Well, shes best bio in 1-6-1 for me and then shes like worst bio for 1-7 (shes being ferried anyway), 1-8 (she doesnt see much combat) and 1-9 (enough bush tiles and enemy hit sucks) then shes hits normal to best in 1-E. And is best for 3-6, worst for 3-12 and 3-13. Shes definetely best bio in the desert for me too.

[Konnor97]

Hmm, my Micaiah is pretty much the opposite. Maybe my Micaiah just hates me and is sad when she needs to feel good, and good when it doesn't matter.

[PKL]

Well, remember it depends on the turns you pull. On the topic of bio: Is it...ethical to reset so enemies have bad bio? Its almost like resetting for enemy stats and ive seen those in other playthroughs. It technically doesnt fall under RNG abuse, does it? I reset for worst bio and 13 spd on the first 2-1 armor in every draft.

[eclipse]

Starting bio's random, right? Does it really make that much of a difference?

[Konnor97]

You can do that? You can restart the chapter to get different enemy stats/biorhythms?

Edited May 31, 2012 by Konnor97

[PKL]

Yeah, its random and it does make a difference between something being reliable or not. @konnor- enemies get levels when you start a chapter IIRC, their stats are fixed to a point but in some cases like in 2-1, the armor might proc too much spd for nephenee to double the armor.

Edited May 31, 2012 by PKL

[Konnor97]

Wait, for chapters that have a base, when are those stats calculated? Is it before you get to base or when you leave the base?

[nano]

I believe it's when you leave the base. And if you return back to base it doesn't change anymore.

[Quintessence]

Ok, time for some post.

Turns: 5 (19)

2-E

New Unit:

Miss Calill, you want some BEXP? Open your mouth as Kirby and dig in. She gets straight up to Lv. 20.53EXP capping Mag, Skl, Spd and Res. Bought her Elthunder and Elwind cause I love Anima Magic XD. Huh...what? You say 22 str Elincia? You say S strike Luchi? Hahahahaha. BAH! Better be a real pro and launch Archsage Calill to the middle of the slaughter and have her Flare enemies there. Leanne and Calill rush to the south through the eastern breakable door. Allied Units are targeted to block the enemies' path to kill Leanne, hence, why Leanne progressed so much. Calill kills enemies and gets the Energy Drop. Finally she full moves and is Vigored by Leanne, Flaring Ludveck with Elfire. Calill easily can three turn it, but there were bunches of enemies. 4 BEXP level ups of Mag can make her kill Ludveck with three Meteors, but she'll have to resist loads of enemies with AS reduction. So a 4 turn is more reliable. Anyways I could've two or three turned it if having, say, Marcia to rescue drop her in the middle and having Leanne Vigor Calill, but, herp. Fuck yeah, no pwnalties!

nano, how did you 5 turned 2-3? Tashoria doesn't move to have Geoffrey kill him, so...?

[Konnor97]

Well dang, I must really suck at this game, my turn counts are higher than both of yours per chapter I believe. I'll update once I'm done with P1, but dang my turn counts are bad compared to both of yours. I'm probably too cautious.

[PKL]

Why not ferry danved with geo, quint? Probably could have 5 turned it.

[nano]

nano, how did you 5 turned 2-3? Tashoria doesn't move to have Geoffrey kill him, so...?

Move to between the warriors on turn 3. Break the door with Brave Lance and canto next to Tashoria on turn 4.

Makalov had to clear out path blockers on turn 2, and maybe turn 4.

[PKL]

Yeah quint its not that hard. Its like, almost the same as in NM. I remember I 5 turned geo solo in the other EM draft.
