Roy and his support partner possibilities only run *Chapter 6 update, Cath poll up*

[Magical Glace]

So, because I'm incredibly bored, I decided to doom myself. Yep, Sounds like a plan. Go me.

So as the title suggests, only Roy and units able to support with him can gain EXP. So, Roy, Marcus, Alan, Lance, Wolt, Lilina, Shanna, Cecilia, Sue, Sophia, and Lalum allowed. Yep, that means I'll have like no natural healers until chapter 14. I repeat, I'm dooming myself.

Ah, well, whatever. We'll see If I'm really shooting myself in the foot later, since Chapter 1 actually went decent besides some RNG screwing, since Bors is the only unit in that chapter who can't support Roy.

[spoiler=(Chapter 1)]

Men Invaded. Yes, that sounds like your usual dramatic backstory.

What technology? If you mean swords and stuff, then those were before the Scouring, too.

"Practical" doesn't seem to be part of their plans in this game.

Oh my gosh, we can have a plot now!

He'll never do as well as Eliwood. He's always going on about how infirior he is in Awakening...

She wanted to steal Magyars' Ninian's man.

Yes, normally, you stay in your house and lock the doors when bandits attack.

But he makes it to the end of the game!

But now the game likes warning you. Ah, the olden days...

They don't even go inside!

Now what will those innocent peasants have?

Go away...

Are you sure that isn't Hector?

Stay away from Magyars' Ninian's man, Lilina!

It'd be great if you could... you're legal.

Yes, because he totally won't see bandits attacking his home.

LE GASP I DIDN'T NOTICE!

Hammy, Alan.

You've got to admire his FIGHTING SPIRIT!

Stats you probably already know. I hope Wolt improves. Marcus will be benched immediately. Bors is illegal.

Roy stole Marcus' stuff.

That's my line!

But we have swords, and you have axes!

This is what failure is (for the enemy, anyway.)

Roy killed someone, I took the screenshot a bit too late...

He also got RNG screwed as far as enemies hitting him was concerned. He used all of his initial Vulnerary before the chapter was half done. He also used one of Lance's against the boss.

Why, Lance?

Vulnerary funds since I can't use Hugh.

...Really, Roy?

BETTER.

Muahaha, serves him right.

First level, Defense is nice when you have a 25% growth in it...

Roy needs lessons from Lance.

Roy's attacking first...

...So Wolt could get more EXP.

I took chances. He missed.

He could actually hit.

Poor Alan, cleaning up messes...

Speed's welcome. He needed it.

Why are you a wimp, Wolt?

Better.

Is it just me or does Roy keep raising his worst growth?

Why...

At least Wolt gets something from it.

Alan actually could kill him in one round, I just wanted Wolt to level up.

Resistance is welcome because mages keep killing you on my other file.

Expirience!

Meh, no strength or speed. If he gains at least one level up with 4+ stat gain, I'll agree to marry him againt my usual 'don't ship myself' mindset. Though I guess extra hit and avoid is nice...

Still can't kill...

Roy has to finish him...

...Whatever. It has some use since Roy's doing 4-16 damage a turn.

His hit is pathetic, this should go well!

Taking my chances...

Do'h. He hit, Roy missed his first attack.

Praise Naga. I'm not dead.

Wolt continues to randomly attack.

One more...point....

Wolt can kill him if he manages to hit...

...Why do the cute ones suck?

I think I'll spontaneously combust if Roy misses both of those. That's still a 4, btw.

He didn't miss the first, Thank you RNG Goddess. Now that poor, stupid fighter thinks Roy and Wolt are strong. Silly man! They won with Roy's OK speed alone.

Roy leveled from the expirience. Meh, he could do better.

No one follows that rule but you and Hector.

What you really have to do is stay and protect Magyars Ninian. Quit with the excuses.

YES I'D LOVE THAT. YOU'RE LEGAL.

Wow, cool story. I think they both knew that already.

YES YOU COULD.

WHY ELIWOOD.

But isn't there, like, a minister or something that could...

I wouldn't be tense if our leader disappeared.

PLEASE NOT HIM.

HE DIDN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING USEFUL AND FORCED LILINA TO STAY BACK.

At least he's encouraging.

PLEASE SAY "TAKE ME WITH YOU!"

But I can't use you.

Thus ends Chapter one. See you. Be glad the Magyars/Eliwood jokes are probably over. FOR NOW.

SOPHIA AND LALUM FOR THE MAIN SUPPORTERS.

[Shin]

Why is Wolt not an option for main supporter? Have faith in him, his love for Roy will allow him to strike true!

[Robert Stewart]

Why is Wolt not an option for main supporte r? Have faith in him, his love for Roy will allow him to strike true!

Agreed. We demand RoyxWolt!

Though RoyxSophia will work....

[blyegg]

I third Wolt an' Roy

[X-Naut]

Screw the polls, vote for A Wolt B Marcus (or one of Alance)!

[ZemZem]

Sophia - A

Wolt - B

C'moooon

[Shadow Mir]

A Shanna B Lalum

Come on! /Fox

Also, that last level up was disappointing, but what can you expect from the Shin level?

Edited December 5, 2013 by Levant Fortner

[Roy: Marquess of Pherae]

Duck and I's playthrough totally doesn't feel insignificant now or anything. :S

[Magical Glace]

The reason for those three being the only options is the others all have another potential support within those 9 10 units. So, I'm going to do Alan/Lance, Wolt/Sue, and Lilina/Cecilia so more people can at least get supports of some kind. Marcus is useless later, so I didn't count him wouldn't matter anyway, all his possibilities have a partner in this set.

[Refa]

Pretty sure Marcus is the best unit out of all of Roy's support partners.

When the Fire Nation attacked!

Stop promoting Jeigan archtype use because it won't happen.

When was Bern named the Fire Nation?

[Refa]

^^I bet Marcus could totally solo the mode faster than it takes to bring the rest of your team up to snuff.

##shotsfired

Also it takes Roy two levels to be as good as FE3!Marth at base.

##moreshotsfired

Also, that last level up was disappointing, but what can you expect from the Shin level?

That's not a Shin level...

[Magical Glace]

Roy gets 10-20 more levels overall, if you can manage to get them. I think the developers just didn't forsee how badly the late promotion hurts, and when they found out, took steps to remedy that. Ike's promotion is timed much better for example, unless you're trying to solo easy mode with him (in that case, he would have to promote in, like, Chapter 8).

Believe me, Roy at least will catch up really fast because of my "Have the lord kill everything!" habit. He's like ten levels ahead of everybody in my other file and basically murders everything.

[Shadow Mir]

That's not a Shin level...

It's bad enough to be referred to as such, if you ask me. And it involves Skill.

[Magical Glace]

Chapter 2 should be up tomorrow, Wolt fans will be both pleased and not pleased, at least they won't be pleased if they're fan girls/boys.

[Magical Glace]

[spoiler=Chapter 2]

Who I can't use (mostly.)

Melody needs to relax a bit.

Common soldiers are such dimblubs...

Are you worshipping Roy? You should worship Rolf instead. Because Rolf is a god.

My response also.

Yep, that sounds like lord behavior.

I can't use that since Staves give EXP.

We begin by showing how much Adorable needs strength.

The javelin is strong enogh to kill if he hits both?!?

And get this, HE DID.

Wolt... why can't you be as good as Rolf... (that's an 8)

WHY THIS ROY!!!!! Love that avoid, though.

Ellen visits the armorslayer gaurdians since it doesn't earn EXP.

Wolt did something for a change!

Roy seriously seems Defense Blessed right now. And yay, strength! I'm wondering how he still hasn't obtained Luck with a 60% growth or something like that but has gotten 3 defense with a 25% growth.

I have to kill this fighters quickly to avoid EXP gain by those two Fighters (who I wouldn't use even if I was allowed because I've never had a good axe user not named Hector or General!Amelia (who I always have switch weapons so Tana could have the Winged Lance or whatever and Vanessa can have the Ice Blade) and Duke/Dieck/Deek/whatever.

What weapon Triangle?

.......... And this is why you are getting the first Energy Ring.

...Definately getting that ring.

.......WHY CAN'T YOU DOUBLE?!?

....That works out nicely.

These three managed to retreat EXP less. Merlinius also went Vulnerary shopping and Ellen bought weapons.

I like how she's still Thany even though her official name is now Shanna.

And she needs to Heal.

Roy is finally dodging stuff.

Lance can't kill...

At least Wolt benefits

...Lance could use some Strength.

I loathe enemy Archers because I usually like Pegasus Knights... At least he missed.

Alan can double him, so he went down fast.

Meh... Needs Speed.

...Of course this happened, this is FE6...

Wolt finishes what Lance Started.

Roy and Wolt team up to take down this random member of the useless class. Plus Roy's cape looks cool there!

Finally living up to Rolf a bit. And... MARRY ME WOLT!

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL! THIS IS WHY I LIKE PEGASUS KNIGHTS SO MUCH. A WINNER IS YOU SHANNA!

Baiting this guy with Roy... He didn't move.

Let's just pick at him from afar...

Of course, he ran up to Wolt and tried to attack him. He missed. So, it's back to Roy/Wolt teamwork.

Mm, he took time to kill.

. Shanna was the Armorslayer deliverer, Roy has it if you're wondering what's up with the placement.

Well that doesn't change much.

Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: Roy vs. Bad Manners. They both missed in the first round of combat, if you're wondering.

This Roy has surprisingly good Defense... And he finally got some Luck (Tana taught me that Luck's good if you have a lot of it... especially if you are speedy too).

You're one to talk...

Weren't you looking for a lady the whole time?

I like Guinevere's theme.

Let me guess, because she's pretty?

Yes, we've established that.

Yeah, Sorry, not happening, otherwise, there will be no plot!

To bad he's gonna die...

And thus concludes Chapter 2. Re-read the rules several times before reading Chapter 3, when it comes...

[Magical Glace]

I will upload Ch 3 ASAP, I'm sorry for the belatedness, I've finished the chapter and I've been too lazy to upload here. I probably won't have time tonight, but for now, I will show you this sneak preview:

My luck ran out, ironically.

...still doing better than the Ike on my current PoR run who is defense screwed bad. And Resistance blessed. 15 defense at 20/15, and 19 resistance. Seriously, what the heck is with that.

[Magical Glace]

Re-read the rules and facepalm at my... very specific word choice, since I take advantage of this...

[spoiler=Chapter 3]
And they aren’t all Wyvern lords.

Well said.

I’m allowed to use you to open chests and that’s it. (Stealing gives EXP…)

We begin by showing off Wolt’s need for strength. (That’s an 11.)

Alan had to finish Wolt’s duty.

Enemies can’t reach you there… everyone else is in the corner.

Sigh… I knew that was coming.

LOL What did I do here?

………………. (Still an 11, I ultimately did not do that.).

………………. (did not follow through with this, either.)

Better.

Roy almost kills an archer.

Wolt heals instead of attacking.

His Defense blessing seems really handy. The archer missed too.

(Normally my cavaliers suck except for Frey in FE11.) *Is literally jumping for joy* A cavalier who does not suck!

You’re breaking my heart, Wolt…

You too, Roy…

Finally able to enter the building now that he’s dead...

Meanwhile, in the northwestern area…

…………………….

Wolt gets our vulnerary stock.

Yes. Give me your weapon.

And so we begin our castle conquest.

Thank Rolf those Javelins don’t have the best hit…

Payback. Thank god there’s extra Rapiers *gasp.*

Shanna and Lance rejoin the fray.

You know, what’s the logic behind the weapon triangle?

Again, the defense blessing makes Roy like a speedy Armor Knight, at least for now…

… Perhaps Shanna or Lance can finish him…

I love Pegasus Knights. You can thank Tana.

Yup, that’s definitely a Pegasus Knight…

You need Luck to be a good dodger, but that’s still good.

That’s two Slim Lance uses I won’t get back!

Roy has to help out the pretty girl.

Meanwhile, Alan attacks this guy.

First Support!

Suicidal soldier.

You know, I never use hand axes unless I must to conserve Wolf Biel…

Why no double?

…Sigh, if it must be…

Roy heads south to slay some armor knights so Chad may pick some locks.

Good enough. (that’s a 1)

Extra avoid and a higher double chance is nice, but I want Strength.

Sigh…

And this is why you need strength.

Finally, nuisance eradicated, now Roy can tackle the boss!
Well that didn’t change much…

Why I thoroughly loathe the Weight system. There’s always someone who suffers from it while someone else is considered godly.

You… you live Roy!

That won’t do much, you’re dying!

Meanwhile, Duke gets us a staff and Chad gets us some gold and a Halberd.

You have?! Hope will never die!

Spoiler: No.

Oh… aw shucks, I guess hope is dead. Spoiler: Nah, it’s still alive!

Why yes, Hector, it IS Roy!

Oh… let’s see, where’s Ellen? She could help!

LE GASP!

Quit obfuscating stupidity, it’s just Hector!

Remind me why Lilina can’t do it. She’s your daughter…

I’m sure she’ll be fine.

Next time, Lance will hang out on an island using a trick I couldn't do in FE7.

[PM ME MARIANNE ART]

Are you jealous of my Wolt's early level ups?

[Magical Glace]

Are you jealous of my Wolt's early level ups?

Kind of. I just wish he got my FE9!Mist's Strength or something (she somehow capped it naturally. Le gasp.) Just not my Gordin's. Anything but his...

And I don't want him to suck because he's attractive. Yes, I know that is not the greatest way to judge a character, but still...

Edited December 18, 2013 by Glaceon Mage

[PM ME MARIANNE ART]

I just wish every other character in my run did as well as he did... They all SUCK.

[Magical Glace]

I just wish every other character in my run did as well as he did... They all SUCK.

Then you dropped him. The irony.

[Magical Glace]

Resetting has begun... because of Rutoga.

[spoiler=Chapter 4]
We begin by having Shanna grab Lance to escort him to the southern fort. This is normally Chad’s job, but I can’t use him.

I normally use Marcus to distract the cavaliers, but let’s see how this works out.

And… so far so good…

I missed the screenshot, but he gained HP, Strength, Skill, Luck, and Resistance. It was good…

This guy was really annoying…

… At least you get more of these…

Too soon, missy.

Sigh… Wolt… I haven’t abandoned you yet… I have faith in you… Live up to your (and Gordin’s) FE9 expy already!

Lance’s duty has begun…

You can’t kill to save your life.

Killing him is of utmost importance, he needs to not attack the EXP avoiding crew in the corner!

Gotta protect Shanna!

Lance’s duty continues…

Strength!

To end my Shanna paranoia.

Wolt… is capable of killing something?!? LE GASP!

In the meantime, Roy heals.

At the time, I thought this would work out… he did not miss, but… oh, you’ll see…

It needed speed… not like it matters… any… more…

Rolf-darn-it Wolt don’t die! I thought Rutoga might run up and speak to Clarine… Der, Glac.

Ummm… let’s do this again.

No strength this time, but Speed is certainly nice.

Marcus does something closer to my usual tactic this time…All he’s got is a vulnerary.

I swear Nomads are so annoying…

Le gasp, Wolt killed something!

Finally able to kill that annoying guy…

In the meantime, Bors runs to a village to obtain… a door key. Villages are so varied, some give you rare stat boosters, others give you useless keys.

This all happens so quickly…

Lance’s duty begins anew!

While Marcus takes a hit…

Wolt, you’ve gotta proc more Strength…

Since when are you unable to kill things Wolt chipped?

Ehhh… you need to do better…

Out of curiosity, am I the only one who does this?

What’s the weapon triangle you speak of?

So long as he does not attack Rutoga we don’t have to reset…

He didn’t attack Rutoga, and this screenshot is hilarious.

That is why axes will forever be the worst weapon type. *shot* (I have a not-so-small grudge against almost every axmen in the series. Except Hector.)

Why not? They will get B.

And the village defense continues…

Marcus’s job continues as well…

You need one more Strength to one round KO this guy…

Wolt finished Roy’s duty.

No, don’t turn into my Strength cursed Oscar! Not bad though.

Oh you need to heal…

Decent, but I want Strength.

I REALLY need to heal.

At least there was Strength.

Wolt works on the western archer.

You need more Strength. You wind up with <20, my Mist would be stronger than you. MIST.

This will do.

Com’on, STRENGTHHHH!

The boss is up to Roy!

Roy’s our boy!

Strength! I approve.

Finally visiting the southerners… Shanna will love this.
BTW, I like how the Angelic Robe increases how much you can take before dying… when angels are dead souls.

All the tanking actually caused Marcus to level up. LOL. And he actually gained a stat, gasp!

Bought some swords, let’s get out of here.

HAHAHA yeah right!

There’s a quarter-dragon right in front of you, I don’t see you complaining…

Hmmm… you do realize he’s lost it?

Maybe so, but they say utopia justifies the means.

Also, I'm closing the poll. Roy will A support with Sophia and B support with Lalum.

Happy Christmas.

[Magical Glace]

I'll upload Chapter 5, probably by editing this post, today or tomarrow. Sorry for the delay.

EDIT: There are 130 screenshots. Expect tomarrow or the day after.
