Umezono Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Not sure if this is a known but in Chapter 5x, if you visit the first house the game thinks you killed Asra lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan5152001 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hm, yeah... Just keep in mind that Shiori and Faratrass won't promote until the beginning of chapter 16... so yeah, you've got a lot of time to train them. Then I guess I should use the tower for other units, such as Sae'rah, because it's once per chapter you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fateborn Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 You can get Sae'rah to level 10 to promote her long before chapter 8, so you don't really need tower for her since she'll be gaining proper experiences afterward with higher than usual of her archetype stats. She's wonderful when you get her to the base promotion by chapter 8 basically ORKO every monsters that doesn't have axes like horsefreaks.

ryan5152001 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Well, I for some reason decided not to train her, or any of the trainees for that matter, and I'm guessing that was a bad idea, because they're the only units that can promote as of yet. On my second playthrough, I will use them more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Winds Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 On Sae'rah; she's kind of a glass cannon. She obliterates monsters after promotion, but she needs quite a bit of healing. Same as Djambo really. I can't really remember Andre's performance as a Mage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umezono Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) I sunk all my training into Alfred, and he (with support from a physical unit) can pretty much decimate everything in Chapter 8 easy. Next run I wanna try Saerah and Djambo, but they are kinda hard work to level up. Menmus really good once you get him to >15, (12/14 speed and def at level 20 tho...) before that hes really very squishy also the cavalier was a certain godsend, cause I didnt have enough physical walls asides from Fa, Hellios and Menmus Edited October 16, 2014 by Umezono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Kamon Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 I sunk all my training into Alfred, and he (with support from a physical unit) can pretty much decimate everything in Chapter 8 easy. I didn't know I was a unit! XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Lancer Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I'm only on Chapter 3, but I must say Fa feels absurdly overpowered. I suppose her problem is that she won't promote till never, so she's got that limiting her, at least. I'll get some more useful comments once I get further in the hack. For now, I have to say the internal balance feels sort of wonky, what with Hellios and Fa being able to decimate entire armies while taking very little damage, while Cristoph dies in like 2-3 hits from anything and everything.

Umezono Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I didn't know I was a unit! XD lol my bad @cancer lancer: fa is a great physical wall, but her base res is bad + its growth always seems to be shit so she can get battered pretty bad by magic users, which are plentiful later on i agree cristoph is really not worth the trouble tho, but you should probably note that most of the units will die in 3 attacks without proper strategy on hard mode, because the enemies have really high atk/mag in every chapter + strong weapons.

Cancer Lancer Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) I'm on hard mode, btw. Is there a noticeable diff between normal and hard? I only ever play on a mode below top difficulty when I see the words "lunatic," because FE12 and FEA lol. On another note, Andre is a based god. http://gyazo.com/d358c151760552b5aacc7ef26b64365a Is his def growth supposed to be that high? Lol mine kept gaining like 4/5 stats every level... Chapter 6 now, other notes are that aside from Cristoph who really is just a bad unit, most of the characters are handy in their own way (buff Cristoph? :o) Menmus might start out weak, but his utility and (at least from my perspective) decent growths helps him become a decent unit pretty quickly. Schwarz is just great. Bad skill is completely alleviated by the fact that swords have such great hit rate, and his Estoc is really handy. Cattleya and Rya are both great anti mages, where as Ume mentioned, Fa does falter. Weiss is powerful, but by the time I get him to my main group he's already level 20 and just steals EXP, like Shiori did. Wonky bits include that Hellios is still the second coming of Seth, and he levels really quickly, too, so I didn't stop him from getting like 2 million kills. And that Cristoph is absolute ass (But I'm still using him cause I bothered training him... Ugh). And also, maybe it's just my own experience, but Andre really is godly... Have not tried Garion or Djambo, though they both seem like good units. I feel I've enough axe users as is.

Fateborn Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 You're going to be disappointed when you get to chapter 8 then from what you said. There is no difference between normal and hard at the present moment if i remember correctly, Kamon wanted to focus on one run balancing rather than doing all balance at once.

Alfred Kamon Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 @Cancer Lancer: Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I should seriously buff Cristoph a bit. I don't think Hellios is a problem, as Fateborn said. Also, @Fateborn: Hard mode still has its bonuses. It IS harder... and some chapters are quite unbalanced. Cristoph is decent in Normal mode (he doubles pretty much everything) but he sucks in HM. Also note that my Normal Mode is harder than Awakening's Hard mode.

Umezono Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 yeah, some chapters are imba, where really you absolutely need hellios to get around. i hope you dont consider hard to be "luck based" cause thats artificial difficulty. i agree cristoph is awful in HM, he needs a buff. menmus doesnt get useful till later imo, because of his subpar defense which you have to level up a lot to cover. weiss, rya, andre kind of form an unholy trinity of super powerful brokenness, theyre all so good.

Lord of Gabriel Knight Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 You don't need Hellios for any of the chapters. You can do it without ever deploying him in battle. It's not easy at first, but it gets easy when people start getting powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Winds Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well, Ch. 2 might test your patience a lot without Hellios, at least if you want Cattleya. But every other chapter is perfectly doable without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Kamon Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 I've seen someone showcasing a lv.1 Hellios by the end of chapter 8, and I think everybody is smart enough to do the same with some effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 i remember the only reason i used Hellios in my run was because i had no idea you could recruit the other two bosses in that one chapter, 3 i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Used Hellios because my only playthrough was a blind Hard Mode one (that one mode that isn't balanced). I think I can get away with minimal usage of him in Normal (which I'll try one day). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Lancer Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) I simply MUST know where you got those Etrian Odyssey midis from. It's like my favourite series ever (actually surpassing my like of Fire Emblem. Unfortunately, the fan base is too small :/), so I simply MUST know! Edit: In other words, I now know of... Uh, that big spoiler thing. I had a hunch, but it didn't stop me because GLORIOUS Oifaye. Edited October 21, 2014 by Cancer Lancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Winds Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) I know I picked up a few Etrian Odyssey midis from the new files section on VG Music. Except that part of the site is still down since they moved servers, and my collection is mostly improperly marked. Here's the one I can find, for whatever good it may do you (or anyone else who finds a use for it - Alfred, that includes you too!). http://www.mediafire.com/download/wy11etjyfzc4zsr/Etrian_Odyssey_3-18.mid That's "Hoist the Sword with Pride in the Heart", from Etrian Odyssey 3 for the record. As for where Alfred got his, well, I know he browsed a lot of Japanese sites as well. Perhaps he picked them up from there?

*Haku Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I wonder when the new chapters will come out... it's been about 3 months or so now :/ Well I can't really argue with games coming out, it's a pain to program them. Though I would like to suggest giving Christoph and Cattleya a bit of a boost. Do statue frags exist in sacred stones? Cuz their cons are really low :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Protagonist Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) I didn't use Hellios, either. I hate the Jeigans lol. Edited October 21, 2014 by The Protagonist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
