Oh no...I'm so boned >_>. Map save is after Beck got the Secret Shop and I saved over chapter 13.

EDIT: Derp, I can just have Beck visit the Secret Shop again lol. That means 1 less kill for Sirius but it will be worth it. Will update later today with the new Chapter 13 Part 2 and Chapter 13x.

[spoiler=Chapter 13 redone from Map Save]

Decided to redo Chapter 13 from the Map Save so I can buy more Physics.

Physic ftw.

Malicia gets to A staves again.

Same strat.

Different level. 0/10 no RES

Typical Caeda level. Last time, she got a better one. Oh well

Repaired Rescue and she got a good enough level.

I'll let the pictures explain themselves.

This time, I decided to have Luke weaken Ice Dragon instead of going for the thief right away and Minerva killed the Ice Dragon.

Turn 7...

Caeda weakens the thief so Sirius can kill it for its Wyrmslayer and a levelup

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Mag Wuuut

Axe training.

OMG luck FINALLY

Nice level, Catria!

CURSE YOU, MALICIA

Time for Marf to do what he does best.

Chapter 13 done in 7 turns again

Same Rainbow Pot uses as last time.

Expenses:

Physicx3 (4500G)

Remaining money: 10010G

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 13x]

ORKO'ing like a boss.

Moving Palla like this reveals a ballistician.

Palla cares not about wepon triangle. Silly Barbarian.

Marth ORKOs ballistician with a Wo Dao crit.

Feena dances for him.

Feena for best dancer.

Moving here reveals a Barbarian and he's still in range of the Iote Shield next turn.

My Unit KO this guy

MU revealed this ballistician with her movement. And Minerva KOs him.

Nice. Shame she didnt get speeed.

Minerva's movement revealed this guy and Catria smashes him.

Enemy Phase 1:

Ryan gets hit by a ballistician

Ryan ORKOs a barbarian

And "chips" Kleine for almost half her HP with a normal steel Bow.

A silly Myrmidon goes for Marth and Marth crits him in the face

That's the same level Minerva got :/. I hope this isnt a sign of things to come. I'd hate to do endgame with SPEED screwed Marf...

Myrmidon#2 goes for Palla

Turn 2:

Iote Shield get.

Kleine NOOOOO. Join meeeeeeeeeee >:(

<3

Catria trades Minerva a Javelin...

Minerva trades Leo to Palla.

And attacks Myrmidon guy

Palla moves here to reveal last Ballistician

MU moved here and Feena dances for her

Lulz, 1 point short of ORKO'ing...

Or not. GG

Chapter 13x done in 2 turns

None

Left: 34

None

[PKL]

Chapter 14 is where I got stuck in my casual runthrough. Currently having trouble with all the enemies before reaching Tiki. I really really need the Fortify before I push for Tiki. I know what to do in the first few turns, but I need Killer Bow crits from Horseman Ryan against 2 Ice Dragons 34% critx2 isn't bad, but I would also need a Killer crit on the thief. Alternatively, I could buy a Lunatic Statbooster Speedwing from the Armory and give it to Ryan so he doubles the thief naturally (needs 27 AS, he has 25 with RP). If I get the Fortify, I can just heal off everyone's damage they sustained letting Marth reaching Gotoh in Turn 2...and everything would be much easier. I can't think of any other alternatives.

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 14 Part 1]

Malicia promotes and reclasses to Sage.

Here we got Xane. He can be anything you need him to be. He's so OP. Need another staffbot? Copy malicia. Need another Dracoknight? Sure, he can do that. Need another Wing Spear? Have another one. (He's in the team)

Ryan equips Killer Bow and sits in 2 range of the 2 ice Dragons.

I start off by having Caeda ORKO the middle Ice Dragon...

NO! You were doing so well before promotion!

Next, Luke ORKO this other guy.

And Elena KOs this other Dragon.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat

NO

You just didn't do that. You did NOT proc Mag twice over str. You just didn't! >:(

Xane copies Luke.

Palla OHKOs this Dark Mage barely, avoiding a deadly counter.

Minerva with full shards is pretty good at her job

Sirius moves here and uses Pure Water. Thanks to Virgo, he barely survives 2 Dark Mages (and ORKOs them). He's just out of range of the Ice Dragon.

Pure Water Catria moves here with a Javelin to KO the other 2 Dark Mages on the other side.

Feena dances Elena so she can ORKO another Ice Dragon.

Malicia heals Elena with Physic.

Marth moves here. Thanks to the Pot and the Scorpio Shard, the Thief doesnt attack him since he can't double anymore. He goes for Luke/Minerva, fishing for a crit. (Feena is just out of range of him)

Enemy Phase 1:

Ice Dragon 2 ranges Ryan and Ryan crits on his 2nd attack

BASED RYAN

This one dies to first attack lol

Catria KOs the dark mage, with a few scratches, or burns

Sirius almost gets roasted.

Since I skipped the rest of the EP on accident, Idk exactly what happened. But I can deduce what happened based on evidence in Player Phase :p

Catria got an hp and str level from the looks of it. Luke got attacked by the Killing Edge thief and barely survived. An Ice Dragon attacked Palla from 2 range, and a Silver Sword Thief got OHKO'd by Silver Lance Palla

And she got his Armorslayer.

Turn 2 Player Phase:

The Speedwing I bought on the Armory prior to the chapter allows Ryan to double Thieves.

Oh god YES

Minerva hits Thieves with Axes, so good.

This will come in handy next chapter

Luke Xane goes in for the kill.

Recover get. This could also come in handy, I guess.

Palla OHKOs another Thief.

Caeda KOs this guy.

Elena gets rid of this other Dragon

Made up for last level.

Malicia stands next to Marf and retrieves this lifesaver from the convoy.

Catria is basically untouchable by magic.

STAR WARS: JEDI MARTH VS SITH THIEF

To be continued...

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 14 Part 2]

JEDI MARF won the battle, for SITH THIEF prepared was not. Marth Poleax obtained. Useful to him it was not.

Feena dances for JEDI MARF

Starsphere get. (And all shards lost :( )

Ligthsphere get. Very useful for bosskilling.

Here they come ;_;

Enemy Phase 2:

Nothing happened except a lot of enemy movement.

Turn 3:

Marth moves down and a bit to the right. Luke retrieves a Wyrmslayer from the Convoy and trades Starsphere from Marth. He kills an Ice Dragon.

32 Speed o_o

Sirius, barely 2HKO'ing a Dark Mage. As if they were hard to 2HKO :/

Caeda goes left and ORKOs this guy.

Caeda level

Palla kills this other guy

Get some defeeeense

My master plan. I KO this guy with Catria and she reaches A Lances. Marth then moves in trades her Dragonpike for Javelin.

Minerva moves in range of a Dark Mage on the left side and trades Caeda's javelin.

Finish this other guy off with Elena.

Dat skl

Time to heal everyone

Xane trades with Luke for the Wyrmslayer.

Enemy Phase 3:

This Dark Mage goes for Minerva, who has lower res than Palla.

One of the Ice Dragons 2 ranged her and the other had no choice but to attack up close and die to her Dragonpike

Come on Palla. Some defense would be nice...

MASTER PLAN. JEDI MARF lures a Dragon to himself to protect Catria.

MASTER PLAN worked. I am GENIUS. That levelup was ALMOST a shin level.

Turn 4:

Sirius has barely enough move to come back and KO this guy.

Xane gets better levels than Sirius.

YESSS

FORTIFY SO GOOD

Better than her usual skl def level...

Minerva KOs the Dark Mage, so Feena can move in and dance Malicia. So Malicia can use the Thief Staff to obtain the again staff.

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 14 Part 3]

Catria kills the Ice Dragon so Marth can move in to recruit Tiki. You know, the dragon nuker, after all the dragons have been dealth with... This game is troll

Enemy Phase 4:

The surviving Dark Mage goes for Minerva, she misses once.

Speeeeed YESS

I haven't forgotten Ryan, he's been moving towards the main group all this time. Managed to catch up with a Dark Mage that attacked Sirius. Perfect opportunity to get some sword rank ;)

THE BEST

Malicia rescues Marf

Elena saves the game. I know what you are thinking. "WTF why is he saving the game NOW?"

Answer: Minerva has a bit of chance at missing, didn't want to redo all this just because of that :P

Had Feena dance for a level just because and Marth seizes.

Chapter 14 done in 5 turns.

I love Tiki's hairpiece.

Dayum. I was like, so glad to be out of the Dragon Valley...but seriously, Chapter 15 is worse than any Dragon chapter combined. All the paladins and horsemen have effective forges. Basically the only way to tank all those hits is with a nosferatank. Malicia is far from being capable of tanking, thanks to getting doubled. I need a Wing Spear forge to take down the boss with Caeda with barely any money. The paladin enemies are like, downright dumb. Ive tried Generals but they armorslayer. A Swordmaster? Swordkiller forge. A Paladin? Ridersbane forge. A Dracoknight with Iote? Bolganone and any other attack. I might go all the way around ;_; since I can't make the push even with AI manipulation, it seems.

[dondon151]

i think that's kind of the point of the map...

[PKL]

i think that's kind of the point of the map...

Yeah, I guess. I'm just used to being able to make the push, even in H2. I guess you can't really do it in H3 unless you have SuperAbusedLinde.

[-Cynthia-]

I just went down the right side and skipped the villages here. The reinforcements that come from the upper forts are just too much of a pain. You might want to have a Dracoknight heavy team to take out the Bishops+ballistae quickly (have to have someone who can ORKO the Sniper though).

Edited October 7, 2012 by -Cynthia-

[cheetah7071]

I was able to tank enough (armorslayer + one other hit) with a 30-def 60-hp general. I just had to make sure the mages never ever got to attack me, which I accomplished by moving my defensive lines further south so they lagged behind the guys I was capable of tanking to death.

Yeah, I have a strat made up to clear the boss area in Turn 1.

A 30 Def 60 Hp general is very not possible in this run :P

Anyways, I've done Chapter 15 in 5 turns. I won't be able to get it up tonight though. I'll put up chapter 15 tomorrow.

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 15 Part 1]

I started the chapter by selling last chapter's Bullion. I bought 2 speedwings from the Base Armory and gave them to Malicia. I also gave her a Rainbow Pot use and the Starsphere. She needs 1 more spd to double the paladins and horseman of the map.

She's so gonna get OHKO'd by Gharnef >_<

This positioning allows my plan to work.

Palla OHKOs this guy so no one else has to take a nasty counter.

MU trades Palla's Silver Lance and uses it kill this ballistae.

Caeda moves here and KOs this guy with a Javelin.

Xane copies Catria.

Catria's cap barely allows her to double this sniper.

Nice

This will come in handy

Feena dances for Xane.

So Xane can ORKO this ballistae.

Silver Lance breaks and since Xane is the one with the least defense, Abel goes for him. Genius

Minerva unfortunately has to take a counter

Another one of these lovely staves

Malicia moves down and uses Physic on Minerva. If Caeda had taken a counter from the mage (she crit), I wouldve healed her instead since even 8 HP Minerva can take on Abel if need be.

Enemy Phase 1:

Dammit.

Nosferatanking so good. And stoopid Malicia. GET SOME RES.

Abel goes for Xane.

One of them lived D:

Why do you have more DEF than RES?

Malicia barely missing the KO on this guy might have actually been good ^^. Marth trades Starsphere from her.

o_o

o_O

O_o

O_O!

To be continued...

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 15 Part 2]

Silver Lance get.

Feena dances Marth.

Xane trades Javelin from Catria

and uses it to finish off this guy.

Palla KOs unpromoted guys with Steel. She's so good

Loving the Falco spd cap

Caeda opens the door.

Malicia rescues Marth here.

Rainbow Pot and Starsphere allow him to barely ORKO this guy with Armorslayer.

Another Killer Lance get.

Forgot to mention, this guy joined us. But his only use is giving me a nice Silver Lance and a Javelin.

Est joined too but lol est.

Minerva KOs the last guy in that area.

Enemy Phase 2:

Marth takes a Swarm like a man

Xane gets attacked again by Abel and he doesn't KO Abel thanks to Javelin's poor MT.

Better level than My Unit. So troll

Catria moves here and opens another door.

Caeda takes Starsphere from Marth.

Marth gets more exp.

Est recruits Abel. It's a shame that his base stats are so smelly :(, I quite like Abel.

Xane and abel move here to plug the forts.

Malicia heals Marth.

Reinforcements came from the northwest fort and the fort close to Marth.

Catria KOs this guy so Marth can keep moving.

I.

H8.

U

Moar reinforcements.

Good enough

Caeda with Starsphere and Lightshere barely KOs this guy.

Darn, NOT a SHIN LEVEL!

To be continued...

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 15 Part 3]

Another Silver Lance is always good.

Lol Sirius

Ok fine, I won't laugh at you

Ryan>Sirius

Palla weakens this thief...

So Minerva can obtain the Silver Sword.

Xane retrieved an Iron Sword, Catria traded it and used it to kill this guy. I obviously did this for more sword rank without having to waste Lady Sword more.

Marth moves up, Malicia uses again on him...

And Marth seizes.

Chapter 15 done in 5 turns.

Rainbow Pot uses:

Catria

Marth

Malicia

Expenses:

Seraph Robe Lunatic Statbooster (2500G)

Speedwings Lunatic Statbooster x2 (5000G)

Sold Bullion (L) (+10000G)

Malicia Base Arena x1

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 16]

Training Luke a bit.

Bro.

Catria gets danced by Feena

So she can reach the Geosphere thief.

Marth is here to lure a Longbow sniper to him so it doesnt attack My Unit. My Unit is here to get rid of 2 Heroes. That Dracoknight on the right is Jeorge.

Poor Macellan's purpose is to open a door. He also has/had nice equipment.

Enemy Phase 1:

Marth needed the RP use to not get doubled and ORKO'd

Wo Dao Elena is so bro

This guy had an axe and missed

Jeorge recruits Astram. In other words, Mercurius get and BENCH

<3 Wo Dao

Geosphere get.

Etzel uses thief to obtain the Rescue staff from the chest room. Btw, don't do this in Turn 1! Because the throne room door opens and you die, basically.

Feena danced Etzel.

So he can get the Bullion chest too.

Macellan trades Silver Lance to Caeda and opens the Door

Palla needs to be a Swordmaster to double a Soldier. :/

HAMMAHtime

Minerva>>>Sirius

This is why Luke got an arena level.

I overestimated the boss when I gave Caeda the Silver Lance :P

Malicia rescues Marth

And he seizes. I regret not getting the Fortify. Oh well

Chapter 16 done in 2 turns

Rainbow Pot:

Marth

[PKL]

[spoiler=Chapter 16x]

Ryan has to use Silver Bow to 2HKO the Sniper to the left

Dayum, these Swordmasters can barely be doubled by 30 spd o_o

Elena talks to Katarina

Lady Sword so good.

Lady Sword is so good x2

Marth needs to crit or he dies, since its such a short chapter, it really doesnt matter, and the crit rate is high enough :3

Katarina attacks Luke and he barely survives.

Marth gets attacked by the north sniper.

I derped the pic. Ryan did 26 damage to the sniper which is a 2HKO

Lady Sword is too good

Elena talks to Katarina again

Luke gets out of the way, so Feena can dance for Elena.

Katarina get. Might use her as a staffbot ocasionally. Not sure yet.

Ryan finishes off the Sniper.

Palla weakens the remaining swordmaster

Katarina weakens him further. I could have had Elena trade her another tome to conserve nosferatu uses...oh well

Marth gets the last kill of the map.

Chapter 16x done in 2 turns.

Now ur playing this like a draft

Now ur playing this like a draft

How so?

[MJThom_2009]

How so?

Your beating the chapters with careful movements and lowest turns possible.

[eclipse]

Your beating the chapters with careful movements and lowest turns possible.

That's, uh, how one beats Lunatic. With planning, and without sticking around for too long.
