[Battle: FE9] Rin Nakai vs Elieson

[General Horace]

im gonna wait unless Espi is just ok with playing it out and checking later, i just don't see him having any chance of winning.

[Elieson]

• If a unit under Resolve's effects is being attacked but can't counter (like Silver Bow!Sniper attacking Resolve!Silver Sword!Swordmaster), it will receive the stat boosts (+Sp/2 for Avoid / +Skl/2 for skills such as Counter and Cancel).

^ From the Rules OP

I thought that a unit getting knocked into resolve range meant that any second attack that they'd recieve would be cancelled (aside from Adept). In this case, Tauroneo activated Vantage, meaning that he couldn't counter Ena after Ena's first strike(+Adept) knocked him into Resolve Range.

[Espinosa]

I might have to check that in-game sometime later. I'm not sure if I did when I last updated those rules.

For now though, I'll forfeit, gg. Thanks for hosting Horace, this one sure went quickly.

[Elieson]

GG Espi. The luck of the RN comes and goes >.>

IMO Your team was statistically superior to mine. Elincia hax just made things difficult on that last Makalov hit. Missing Ike at the beginning..i dunno how that would've affected the rest of the game.

Makalov had resolve, so

things would have been different.

[Espinosa]

Did Ike have Resolve/Wrath? Yeah, it could've been interesting to see how it would've turned out.

Geoff and Makalov can get ridiculously bulky in this team but really, Brom needs the 3 speedwings Ena took to not die as easily. Still, I felt like testing a bunch of stuff in this game, even if these ideas were best tested separately.

[Elieson]

WATCH

MAKALOV HAS

RESOLVE

*later*

OHHH

HE HAD THE AXE

OH MY GOD

THIS MATCH IS EVERYTHING I DID NOT EXPECT

my skype to Horace earlier.

Things really did bend on that key miss on Elincia mid-match. Did you learn anything about Ena though? I dunno if this was the best environment to get test results.

Ah I see. I more or less guessed and figured out those builds.

Ena needs a specific team built around her (where speedwings aren't too wanted); otherwise, her team won't function very well. Still, you saw what she did with Makalov and her matchups are in general great against such foes. Who else can claim a really favourable matchup against Makalov? If she takes all 4 wings, she can double Ike and Giffca, too.

Overall, the current limitations on skills/boosters on Ena could be re-considered. Resolve should still stay banned no doubt, but I'm not so sure about Wrath, or about the stat boosters limit.
