Czar_Yoshi Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 *flips hair* Of course. Lethality. I've forgot that they don't have Dragonskin. But...pair that with Luna and it should be good as Lethality alone isn't good due to it's very low activation rate! Several reasons why I chose Lethality over Luna: -I can't grind for skills on DLC and have to actually stick with any class I want a skill from for a long time due to Lunatic exp issues. -Luna comes in a class that's very slow, Lethality comes in a class that's very fast. Against the Lunatic RIsen, doubling is extremely important, and until I get reliable self-healing (I prefer Renewal) I need to dodge every hit that I can. One thing I may not have mentioned is that I didn't just trash a lot of Risen, I trashed every single pack that spawned- If I get fliers on Cht.8, tough beans, so it's not like I can just avoid the fast ones. It also helps that Pass was a skill that saw a lot of use on me. -Lethality still greatly outdamages Luna early on, especially against GKs with 40+ Def and since I don't care about reliability I can manipulate for a hit or two. Without LB/Pairup/Rally/Braves Luna's activation rate isn't actually that reliable either though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 How does Lunatic 'cheat'? Granted, it's earlygame is pretty nasty - but you can't grind for that outside of water trick anyway - but beyond that, it's not exactly doing anything unfair. Enemies are strong, and have good skills. Lunatic+ I can possibly see it possibly as an argument, since it can easily throw essentially impossible combinations (i.e. incredibly luck dependent) at you repeatedly, but Lunatic isn't really anything but a tough but fair difficulty (again beyond earlygame). Personally, I prefer to play without feeling pair up is a necessity (which I can't help but feel isn't feasible in Lunatic mode without grinding). But that's just me.

It's in the class name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar_Yoshi Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 They are in a standard setting, but Lunatic Risen aren't exactly a standard threat. I was honestly more surprised by the utility of Renewal and Aegis than Pass and Lethality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jac Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I grind heavily becuase i like having supports on maps asap. Also Donny early game as a Merc is like the best unit for a couple of chapters to me. Feels good crushing my enemies so quickly. I might try a Hard Mode grindless run but after i finish the support log and after i finish my optimal runs. I have seen no grind runs are possible but the pain it produces... I dont think im steeled enough for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Im finally Lunatic-ing. And yes, rusty old cog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doughnuts Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Lunatic - grind to heart's content usually, but have done a run with no reclassing and no outrealms used, just bonus box up to large bullion, barracks boosts and supports etc. Lunatic + - grind to heart's content and gnash my teeth whenever a Risen army appear at a shop I need to buy items from before I get access to the Outrealms. That 3% crit not being actually 3% due to gamble urghhh Yeah I know I'm definitely not the biggest FE buff out there, kudos to everyone who can play like a champ and stomp this game in Lunatic and above :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, a baseline CRT of 3, due to having 6 SKL with Gamble is really 13, but, on the Combat Preview and in-combat stats will account for that. Wrath is the tricky skill that can fake you out by activating mid combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellblood Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 In Lunatic+ as soon as that gate opens I grind for gold, then hire my old MU Sorcerer (cause its unkillable) to get me some limit breakers. Its not because I need to grind as much as I want to. I like to make a devastatingly powerful army of einherjar and then do nothing with them except beat Rogues and Redeemers 3 faster! Yup! I Grind to so I can grind faster! Then I sometimes grind my actual units for the campaign but only max out a few "safety units." Also, gotta grab as many weapons from Infinite Regalia as possible because I get sick of getting damaged ones. I have far too much patience and free time, I'm on chapter 14 and have over 70 hours.

eclipse Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 On my one and only Lunatic run, methods weren't important - all I had to do was finish it. If I ever revisit that mode, I'll probably attempt minimal/no grind (assuming my Avatar doesn't completely and utterly fail). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
