Lunatic No Deaths, Recruit Everyone, Low Turn Count Playthrough

[PKL]

Absolutely. NOT.

Sorry, I'm not home, but I do find this interesting. If Catria's giving you that much grief, why not drop her?

Well, I cant exactly drop her by now even if shes terrible. I still have the hope that the desert Energy Drops and Falcoknight promotion will fix her.

I'm still reading this, although I shouldn't be, considering I haven't actually played the game yet.

You should :p

Anyways, I haven't updated in a while due to ch11 being a pain. I'm still planning how I'm going to get all the boosters I want and how to avoid the swordmasters. I'm also checking how many Dragonpikes and Wyrmslayers I will need to buy from the shop and all that. After I'm done planning, I will be able to play more chapters and update a lot more often.

i feel like at this point, catria would like dracoknight a lot more than falcoknight

anyway i think i have a chapter 11 strat outlined in CM's half-finished lunatic guide that picks up most of the items (getting them all in 5 turns is impossible unless you're KoT and RNG abused linde). for the secret shop, get as many dragonpikes as you can and enough wyrmslayers to go around for any primary sword users: basically just 1 for luke.

Lolz KoT. I want the 2 energy drops, the robe, the dust, the master sword, the lady sword (though I dont mind If I end up not getting it), the speedwings, the Dracoshield, the Arms scroll, the secret shop, Jake and the Whip. I might have to promote Catria to DK for it though.

Small update

Gave Caeda all the shards Palla had the previous chapter and the Lady Sword and decided to Base Arena her a bit. She wins her first battle against a myrm that did like 4 damage. Then a battle against a Mercenary that did 5 damage but she crit him lulz.

I love you Caeda.

Next Matchup is a Pirate that can 2HKO her but at like, 48 hit. I take my chances and she wins by 3HKO'ing him, he hit her once.

Someone mind explaining why she got 4 stats? Her growth total as a Cavalier with spd and lck capped is 225 iirc.

This is basically why I cant keep training her lol.

Promoted her and reclassed to DK. Come at me Chapter 11 Im ready. Also, I just realized, I dont have any master seals for Catria. GG.

Time to get creative.

[PKL]

This is why Im stuck. Basically, I only have 4 Dracoknights. 1 of which is Caeda, who is busy recruiting Jake and getting the Draco and Arms Scroll. Minerva, who is kinda busy protecting squishies. Elena, who is barely of any help due to her pathetic hp and spd and Palla, who can ORKO Wyverns with Javelins but she is only one. Basically, in all my tries, Palla ends up having to go solo to that area. And I have no way around that formation. I can kill the hunter on the left but the swordmaster crits her and she dies to Wyverns. If I kill the other hunter on the right, an even worse fate for Palla. If I go after the swordmaster and rig a Killer Lance crit, she gets chewed alive by 2 hunters. I hate everything.

Can you wait for everyone to reconvene, then push?

[PKL]

Can you wait for everyone to reconvene, then push?

Yeah, I guess I will lose a bit of turns doing that though. But it cant be helped with my team, I think.

Also, in the first attempt, Ryan got this level, I was so mad when Palla died later on.

Edited September 29, 2012 by PKL

[Ema Skye]

Maybe try recruiting Jake at the end of the level? Shouldn't take Caeda too long to get to him after she's helped Palla out.

[PKL]

My plan now is to have Etzel Excalibur Caeda's way. Malicia is the rescuer this time. RP Palla Minerva and My Unit will take the left side and get me the items I want. Ryan will snipe random wyverns. Catria will just go for the Speedwing and possibly get a level on the way there.

[dondon151]

what i like to do is to forge minerva's dragonpike so that either MU or palla can OHKO the boss wyvern

Already did :p. My wallet hurts just remembering it though.

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 11 Part 1]

Not deployed: Catria

Etzel starts on the back, moves up. He gets danced by Feena and moves left with Excalibur equipped so he's in range of a wyvern. He also gets the Spirit Dust.

Turn 1 positioning. Basically, Luke (next to Feena in the pic) is there to lure a wyvern, Palla (up 2 and left 1 from Etzel, is there to lure a wyvern and counter in EP).

Turn 1 Enemy Phase:

The Wyvern Luke lured misses, but it didnt matter.

Palla counters the wyvern in EP with Javelin.

Etzel excaliburs a Wyvern in EP.

Turn 2 Player Phase:

Ryan weakens this Wyvern...

So I can feed Marth the kill. This is important, as a trained Marth is needed to beat Medeus in Endgame.

He gets an almost perfect level. Magic is obviously very helpful

Palla finishes off the Wyvern she weakened in EP. Etzel moved there and used a vulnerary. He's in range of another wyvern.

Malicia uses Physic on Etzel so he can survive another Wyvern.

Turn 2 Enemy Phase:

In EP, MU counters this wyvern.

Etzel excaliburs another Wyvern.

Minerva lures another Wyvern. Some other Wyverns moved and a group of barbarians also started moving.

Turn 3 Player Phase:

Ryan and Marth gang up on another wyvern.

Marth reaches C swords. He can now use Killing Edges, Wo Dao and Levin Swords <3

Malicia heals Etzel again.

>_<

Palla uses the Dragonpike forge to KO the wyvern Minerva lured.

He dropped an Energy Drop <3

Etzel moves, uses a vulnerary and gets the Angelic Robe.

Luke weakens a Wyvern...

And MU kills it.

Enemy Phase 3:

Yeah, I forgot to reclass Sirius x_x

Moar Wyvern nuking from Etzel in EP3.

Nice! It's not like you are a long-term unit or anything, but if he keeps growing like that, maybe I'll use him to kill Gharnef.

Turn 4 Player Phase:

MU kills a Hunter. She doubles thanks to RP.

The world is about to end! She got HP D:. Nice level btw.

Caeda recruits Jake.

She also trades him the Steel Bow forge, the Member Card and the Gemini.

He moves here so a wyvern on the right commits zepuku in EP to his bow forge.

Edited September 30, 2012 by PKL

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 11 Part 2]

Shin's accursed items!

Marth attacks a Hunter, Feena dances him and she gets that level.

Another kill for Marth :D

My reaction:

*clears throat*

Healed Elena because she needs more HP to tank those barbarians on the right.

My Ryan is godlike.

Turn 4 Enemy Phase:

Wyvern suicides on Jake's forge.

MU gets hit by this barbarian and counters, almost killing.

Come at me bro.

Lulz she crit him.

Turn 5 Player Phase:

Jake moves to the Secret Shop. I buy a Wyrmslayer...

A Win Spear...

And 3 Dragonpikes.

Caeda could get either the Dracoshield or Arms Scroll. Maybe I'm crazy, but I chose the Dracoshield over the Arms Scroll. This means Horseman Ryan's sword rank might not be very viable later on...oh well

Whip get. Aka Catria's promotion. Aka the item that might make her good.

Malicia saves the day game. The next things to come require luck.

THE ODDS ARE LIKE, TOTALLY IN MY FAVOR...EXCEPT THEY AREN'T

NO!

...

...

Save points FTW. I get to try this as many times as I want Jerk Master Sword Swordmaster!

...

...

......................

Power of abuse skill.

This sword is like, the best thing ever <3

This item might as well be called "Catria's salvation"

Lol I got this

Killer Axe get <3

Palla uses the Dragonpike forge to OHKO boss wyvernman. She has a chance to miss but Palla never disappoints.

Nice! Get some lck plz?

Dragoncutter get

Rescue Feena over.

So she can dance for Etzel.

So Etzel can move here and rescue Marth over. Before I seize however...

Sirius chips for a tiny bit of exp and wexp.

And Ryan finishes him off.

Now Marth seizes before things get ugly.

Chapter 11 done in 5 turns.

Expenses:

Forged Dragonpike +3MT and +5Hit (5840G)

Wyrmslayer (1200G)

Wing Spear (1120G)

Dragonpikex3 (4050G)

Remaining money: 14520G

Rainbow Pot uses:

Elena (My Unit)

Credits to Dondon for the strategy.

[spoiler=Catria becomes amazing]

Fed both Energy Drops I got in the desert to Catria, gave her the used Lady Sword with 11 uses and also the Cancer, Scorpio, Leo and Taurus. Time to use the Base Arena!

Good matchup.

Even better. I thought it was supposed to get harder? :p

More str and hp is always welcome. Catria gets 4 stats per arena level and has a small chance at a 5th stat.

3rd round is easy too. Lady Sword for best Base Arena weapon.

Yesssssssssss.

Lulz.

Time to promote.

And now she's ready to stomp some dragons. BRING IT. Her durability is a bit bleh but oh well.

[eclipse]

Oh, right, dragon things are 1-2 range, so they commit seppuku on bows. C Swords also means Marth can use a Wyrmslayer for whatever reason.

[PKL]

Yeah. And I forgot C swords also gave Wyrmslayer to Marth lol.

[spoiler=Chapter 12 Part 1]

Not deployed: Sirius, because he is smelly

I start off by having ryan attack the Fire Dragon near the start and ORKO him with Silver Bow.

Good.

Etzel uses Mend on Ryan.

Now Luke goes up and ORKOs this Fire Dragon. Fort makes him an asscabbage to hit.

But Luke takes none of that BS and crits him in the face.

I have Palla move up.

Feena dances her.

Palla is the best.

Marth moves to the right of Palla and trades her Silver for a Javelin.

Malicia uses Physic on Palla.

...

I end turn. Since no one is in the forts, reinforcements won't spawn yet.

Owned by Wepon Triangle.

Turn 2 Player Phase:

Caeda uses the forged Dragonpike to OHKO a wyvern.

Catria uses Lady Sword to ORKO another wyvern.

Luke uses Wo Dao for a very high chance to ORKO this dude. Lol @ the hit.

Minerva chips the last wyvern.

So My Unit can kill him without the forge.

YES. Also, I gave her the desert seraph robe before the chapter.

Malicia heals Catria with Physic.

Etzel flees and I move Ryan here so he's in 2 range of a Dragon reinforcement.

I move Marth here to trigger enemy movement and the start's fort reinforcements.

Turn 2 Enemy Phase:

Here they are.

I forgot to mention, but I put Palla there to weaken a Fire Dragon. Fort heals up most of the damage.

Ryan ORKOs the Dragon reinforcement with Silver Bow.

Speeeed yessss.

Turn 3 Player Phase:

Luke uses Dragoncutter to cut a Dragon in the way.

That's 2 for Luke now.

Marh moves in to recruit Darros.

Trades him a bunch of axes. Darros might actually be pretty useful for Hammering stuff and naturally high crit with Killer Axe. He can also reclass to Swordmaster for some Wyrmslayer fun.

To be continued...

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 12 Part 2]

Feena moves up and dances Marth.

Palla smashes another Dragon.

Wow. Dat levelup. And she still hasnt gotten a single point of luck...

Wepon Triangle.

Decided to have My Unit Killer crit. Caeda could finish the swordmaster off if she didn't crit.

Trying to crit again.

But Darros failed, which forced me to use Devil Sword to finish this guy off. It got Marth a kill, so it probably was for the better lol.

Ryan moves to 2 range of the barbarian and Etzel heals him.

Minerva KOs a Dragon.

Malicia heals Palla.

My positioning at the end of the turn.

Turn 3 Enemy Phase:

Ouch.

Barbarian suicides on Ryan. I forgot to equip Steel Bow instead x_x. Oh well

Turn 4 Player Phase:

MU uses Dragonpike to KO this dude that attacked Marth. Marth went up and used a vulnerary before this.

:)

Catria moves to plug the right fort and Palla blocks the center one. I have them trade shards for a reason...

Etzel mends Ryan again.

So Ryan can do his thing again.

Luke moves up a bit and gets danced by Feena.

Positioning at the end of Turn. Basically, Marth blocks the left fort so he can be closer to the seize point. If he moves just 1 tile more to the left, he triggers reinforcements from the top left and starting position's forts. I obviously don't want that to happen. Nothing happens in this EP despite enemies being in range.

Oh, and I move Darros down along with Minerva so they can plug forts next turn.

Turn 5 Player Phase:

Marth moves towards the throne and Catria uses Dragonpike to kill another Dragon.

That point of speed is crucial so that she can double the boss with Scorpio. She had an 80% chance to get it. Glad she did :).

More shenanigans. Palla trades Cancer to Catria so the Fire Dragon and Wyvern won't team up and kill her. They now target Palla instead.

Elena moves once to the right and heals with a vulnerary. Feena dances her and she moves up and vulneraries again.

Malicia uses Physic on Catria.

About time you got a good level x_x

Etzel is there to lure the closest wyvern spawn to him and excalibur him. Ryan is there to lure one of them at 1 range and the other at 2 range so it suicides.

Fortplugging. Ignore Minerva's portrait. I had moved her down there before taking the pic lol. She's not here. Those are Caeda (left), Luke (middle) and My Unit (right).

More fortplugging.

To be continued...

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 12 Part 3]

It's quite hard to take a picture of these reinforcements lol. But yeah, they're nasty.

A Fire Dragon on the right goes for Elena and she crits him with Javelin lulz. This doesnt affect anything btw.

Palla gets attacked. Thankfully, she doesnt crit...

I swear my heart was racing against these reinforcements. If Palla had crit, the run would be over, as she would get attacked by the other Fire Dragon and the wyvern. >_>

Elena gets attacked by a Wyvern too. This is why she had to be at full hp.

Normally, my Marth would get ORKO'd by wyverns. Since they have 21 spd and he has 16...but I gave him a Speed Bond before the chapter ;)

Etzel excaliburs the closest wyvern reinforcement.

Eh

Ryan gets attacked at 1 range by one of them and the other suicides.

Nooo! get some speeeed

Turn 6 Player Phase:

Caeda kills this guy.

So good.

Palla finishes this guy off, clearing the way.

Goodbye Stoopid Speedy Dragon!

Catria is making up for everything!

This is going to Malicia.

Luke gets the Pisces. Guess what? He dodged/crit or something, because he took no damage lol. Wtf Luke.

Best Swordmaster ever.

Last Shard and it definetely was the hardest to obtain.

Etzel mends ryan one last time for some more staff rank.

Ryan is so good dammit.

MU randomly attacks a wyvern and gets danced by Feena.

Thanks to supports, she had no chance of missing so I decided to get the kill.

And it was WORTH IT.

Marth seizes.

Chapter 12 done in 6 turns.

Expenses:

Arena Training for Catria

Sold Firestonesx2

Used Seraph Robe on My Unit

Used Dracoshield on Catria

Used Elysian Whip on Catria

Used 2 Energy Drops on Catria

Used Spirit Dust on Malicia

Rainbow Pot uses:

My Unit (so she could double Fire Dragons with 1 spd proc and for durability)

Caeda (durability and so she could double Fire Dragons)

Palla (durability)

Catria (durability, doubling the boss and ORKO'ing wyverns)

Ryan (so he could double Fire Dragons and ORKO them)

Uses left: 40

[eclipse]

I hate Chapter 12 with a passion. I know the next chapter's doable for drafts, but I imagine the enemy sandwich is gonna hurt.

[PKL]

It does. Chapter 13 is proving to be a massive headache thus far. I have to protect Marth the Squishy from like, 50 dragons. Said squishy recruits ANOTHER squishy that I have to keep out of range x_x

[PKL]

I'm starting to think I want to have Beck visit the Secret Shop after I recruit him. Physic has been pretty useful and I can restock on them there...Killer weapons too, maybe. But I have enough of those I think

[PKL]

Ok, I got a strategy figured out that will end up in 6 turns with Beck and the secret shop. Currently figuring out how to get the Wyrmslayer.

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 13]

I'm back.

Smelly bases. Meh weapon ranks. You're not in. But thanks for your equipment! BENCH

Not that bad. Has spd issues but can use a Dragonpike and instant promote. Too bad I've decided on a team already. BENCH

Again, not bad. Speedier than Belf but weaker. Same issue as Belf. I've already got a team made up. BENCH

I start off by having Ryan KO this guy.

Base Minerva with Hauteclere is bro. She needed all str boosting shards and an RP use to do this though lulz.

Better than Sirius 10/10

Luke so bro.

<3

Malicia uses Barrier on Catria.

So she can kill this guy with little recoil.

Marth moves and Feena uses Dragon Dance.

MU ORKOs this dude with Pike.

More like OHKO.

Lawl 1 str short of ORKO'ing. Oh well. Not worth the RP tbh. Btw, Palla also missed.

Caeda picks up the slack.

Trying to feed Marf a kill. Spoiler: He didnt crit but the enemy also didn't hit lawl.

End of Turn 1.

Ouch. To make things worse, Catria also missed KO'ing him.

Turn 2 Player Phase:

Siirus finishes off this prick that Catria and Marf failed to kill.

Feena uses Dragon Dance again.

Sirius moves in range of one of the wyverns.

My Unit Dragonpikes a random Ice Dragon that could attack Marth.

NO!

Ryan uses Silver Bow to KO this guy. He's also in 2 range of 2 wyverns now. Silver Bow is for OHKO'ing them.

Ryyyyan!

Malicia heals Ryan so he can take on wyverns.

End of Turn 2.

Enemy Phase 2:

NO!

Sirius kills this guy with the Steel Bow forge.

This wyvern goes for Marth. Marth isn't doubled, thanks to Scorpio and Rainbow Pot.

I have no words to describe how awesomely magnificent ryan is doing.

Turn 3 Player Phase:

Dragon Dance.

Beck get.

Marth retrieves the VIP Card from the Convoy and gives it to Beck.

Sirius OHKOs another Wyvern with Bow forge.

...Don't make me reconsider deploying you.

Ryan is wayyy too good.

To be continued...

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 13 Part 2]

Continued from last post.

Why deploy thieves when enemies and Ryan do all the work for you? ;)

Beck visits the Secret Shop.

After careful consideration, I decided to buy 1 physic only. Since I get 1 more in 15 and 1 from that random Bishop that joins in 18.

I end turn 3.

Turn 3 Enemy Phase:

Nothing happens lul

Turn 4 Player Phase:

Marth moves here and saves the game.

Healing Minerva.

Malicia hits A staves.

Ryan moves here and uses a vulnerary. He can attract the Barbarian and ORKO him. Making the Dark Mages move away.

I end turn 4...

Enemy Phase 4:

Thank you.

Elena weakens random Ice Dragon.

More ryan amazingness.

Turn 5 Player Phase:

Plan worked perfectly.

Ok, scratch Feena always getting the best levels. Maturity Drop Marth gets better ones.

Malicia trades Luke the Rescue staff and repairs it with Hammerne.

Caeda ORKOs a random Ice Dragon that is going for Marf.

Get some str though

I end turn 5.

Enemy Phase 5:

Dark Mage dies on Sirius.

Turn 6 Player Phase:

Feena used Dragon Dance on Luke so he could reach the thief and ORKO him.

ONE MORE DRAGONCUTTER

I'm really not liking Minerva's hit with the Dragonpike.

Luckily, she hit him anyway, so Ryan could finish him off.

Beck actually doing something

Now Sirius can kill this guy without dying.

Elfire get I guess.

Wasting Mend for getting xp.

Since in a previous attempt, Marth was exactly 1 tile short of a 6 turn seize...

I decided to just have him wait in the river. He's just outside the reinforcement line trap. Enemies won't move.

Nothing of note happens in EP 6.

Amazing.

She's come a long way ever since she promoted and got the Robe

Random Axe rank training for Palla.

NO!

Ouch, poor ice Dragon. She needed the forge to ORKO btw. She was exactly 1 HP short with a normal Dragonpike. Her levelup is typical Catria level, except for lck.

Random Lance rank training for Caeda.

Marth seizes.

Rainbow Pot uses:

Marth

Elena (My Unit)

Ryan

Sirius

Minerva

Uses left: 34 (I made a mistake last chapter, I had 39 uses left after Chapter 12)

Expenses:

Bought a Physic at the Secret Shop (1500G)

Remaining money: 13010G
