Phantom037 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Just got a second seal, I used it on Lon'qu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvitazi Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Lon'qu already has amazing speed. So what's quicker? A myrmidon, or thief? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom037 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 His growths stay the same, but I'd imagine a thief had higher speed caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvitazi Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 So, a myrmidon would be an offensive thief, I guess. They are weak, but pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDRHAWK Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 So, a myrmidon would be an offensive thief, I guess. They are weak, but pretty quick. Unless you've reclassed someone like Stahl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvitazi Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I never use Stahl. I have yet to witness his abilities. I've heard he's a pretty good father for Severa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alvitazi Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Since myrmidon? I see. I really never liked cavaliers, I only used the Paladins or Great Knights if they were already promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom037 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 btw back on topic, I'm probably not going to update for a bit because mages hate Vaike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvitazi Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 They do, don't they? Vaike has horrible resistance, just like his magic. Does he have any class that relies on magic? (i.e. mages, sages) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom037 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) He doesn't. And even if he did, the rules would prevent me from using it. But I did give him a talisman, so his res is up to 3! Can you believe it?! Edited September 24, 2013 by Rhys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvitazi Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 That's too bad. I guess Vaike just isn't cut out for magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tables Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 They do, don't they? Vaike has horrible resistance, just like his magic. Does he have any class that relies on magic? (i.e. mages, sages) Well... Trickster. And Dread Fighter. But no explicit magic classes. Generally any character with a base growth of 15% or less in a stat is going to suck in it. And Vaike's RES is notably terrible, at a 5% personal growth, which can get as high as, oh, 15% as a Trickster. Only 220 levels as a Trickster for him to cap it! Annnnnnaaaaaa. I feel like there are NO "normal" names in Fire Emblem. I mean, besides... Anna, Olivia, Wil (I guess if you spell it Will), Serra (I think the traditionally spelling, Sara or Sarah), Matthew, Wallace, Rebecca, and others. There's not that many.. Is that how Serra is meant to be pronounced? I've always said it "Seh-ra" as opposed to "Sare-ah", not really homomorphic at all. I can see it working though, I suppose. But as others have said, there's a decent number of actually normal names in FE. It's one of those games which seems to love employing the Aerith & Bob approach to naming (warning: Link not safe - contains TVTropes). I mean seriously, look at the lords in FE7 - we have Lyn, a reasonably common girls name in the western world, Hector, also fairly common (certainly not one anyone would bat an eyelid at), and... Eliwood. Huwha? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom037 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) little update on what's going on: Olivia at base is a complete liability because there is no break between units attacking, and the wyvern units with steel axes wreck her 18 hp. Also, 90 percent of deaths are due to Vaike. Not even a hand axe and a 27 hp Lon'qu are enough to lure the mages away. I swear Vaike, if you didn't have that A support with Chrom and Zeal (more useful than you'd think), you'd be benched.

Alvitazi Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 You're almost at Chapter 12. Then all we see-- are thieves. Lock your doors, hide your wallets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom037 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 [spoiler=chapter 11]The main strategy of this map was 'get everybody out of the way'. Garrett solo'd the ENTIRE left half and ends up at level 19. The right side is obviously where I had the most trouble, after dozens of resets after Vaike got cornered by no less than FOUR mages (stupid turn 3 reinforcements) I decided to get him out of dodge, and let Gaius!Panne pick them off, and have Lon'qu ORKO when there wasn't backup. Thankfully, my previous reviews neglected to mention that Vaike kills everything he doesn't die to, and he saved Lon'qu from Gangrel with the killer axe. One time skip later, and an anna shop finally shows up with a second seal. It's at this point I realize three things. One, I really don't want to lose the pair up bonuses Kellam offers, two, Vaike needs an avoid stat to back up that terrible defense, and three, Panne is a total floozy with C support Kellam, B support Gaius, and A support Vaike.

Phantom037 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Little update, probably not going to update for a while, because I have the worst timing ever. The thief's true enemy, the knight, is very numerous in this chapter. And having 80 percent of the enemy units on the map packing lances means avoiding is going to be unlikely. Here's where the irony comes in: Vaike was reclassed from an axe user with a hammer to a thief. And that combined with the lances completely destroys any chance of avoiding I mentioned. I'm sure I'll eventually find a way around this, but again, might take a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvitazi Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) What about Cherche? Can you use allies that come during the map? Edited September 27, 2013 by Alvitazi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom037 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 all auto join allies that I can't use are pair up bots for the level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvitazi Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Well, Cherche gives some pretty nice Strength and Defense during pair up, iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realm Traveller Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Just pop your highest MAG Thief the Levin Sword from little old Gangrel to counter the Knights' low RES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
