PKL Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Pretty just don't go over board with the forges. Also I'll take Radd. I made it before you said it was up to 3 though. I can redo the run if need be. I'm only in Ch5. Macellan and Elice for me. Baldrick gets: Etzel as a Hero and Ymir as a Berserker. Enjoy.

General Horace Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 My preference now is earliest units that don't cost turns, so Rikard>Boah>Tomas then whoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randa Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 TC's for my first three chapters. Chapter !: 17/17 Marth gets as many kills as was humanly possible. Also Sheeda is the only non drafted unit who survived the rest were meat sheilds and died for gaidens. Chapter @: 15/32 See above. Ogma did decent definitely gonna miss the extra steel sword. Recruited castor and fed him a level. Chapter #: 9/41 All non drafted units died. So sad. But hey i got castor two more levels so #worthit. Between: Jagen man goes draco, reclassed ogma and castor. Also forged an iron axe with +3 mt, +20 hit, cost about 2200 gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vennobennu Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Radd will go Cav->Swordmaster, because I feel sorry for the guy. Lorenz, well, do whatever you want with him. Go Hero if I have to decide. I guess I'll take Linde. Edit: First three chapters! C1: 16(16) Quite a lot harder without chip from Gordin, Cain and Draug. At least they took axes to the face like champs. Marth got a perfect (sans Res) level, which is good since I have the feeling I'm going to have to rely on him for combat. C2: 14(30) Baited pirates with Ogma and the crew, plus Darros who recruits himself. Thanks to the Wing Spear (rip), Caeda got two levels with strength in them, and Marth got another 'perfect' level without any rigging. In fact with Caeda support he was facing 38% hit from Gomer and wasn't doubled, pretty sweet. C3: 12(42) Caeda killed the Hunter and lured the Fighters before recruiting Navarre, Jagen helped Julian survive, and Abel + Marth dispatched most of the enemies west. Caeda and Jagen ferried the Killing Edge over to Marth, who was able to kill Reynard with it due to facing sub-40 hitrates again. The savepoint definitely helped. In light of the forging rules I'm planning on forging a +5mt Iron Sword for Caeda/Julian Edited July 11, 2014 by Vennobennu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) just realized i could have made vyland an archer. That's now Linde's job, Archer->Swordmaster. I take RIkard if it's my turn.

Baldrick Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the good Levin Sword user PKL. Unless they're not D rank, in which case I'll cry. As Reverend Spooner would say, I take Oah and Best. Going off Horace's list, Tomas goes Mage > Sage by default. The first one - 15 Marth + Jagen solo is fun for the whole family The one where Baldrick gets units - 14/29 I had to clear out the east first, otherwise I got pincered in. Then slowly advance and kill things as they come. The one where only Darros died - 9/38 Goodnight, sweet fighter!Barst The one where Baldrick forged a sweet Fire tome with crit - 11?/49 I forgot this turncount, but it sounds right. I recruited Merric because his bases make him a decent meatshielder to keep around. The one where the Wolfguard distract archers to save Baldrick some turns - 5/54 It's starting to resemble actual LTC now. Forged an Iron Lance. The one with a good argument for more than +3 forges - 11/65 With my ranged damage output I had to rely on a Fire crit to kill the boss. Forget trying to engage him in melee. Forged an Iron Axe. The first one that is free training - 20/65 Wolf self-improves. Forged a Hand Axe with hit The one where Baldrick considers killing Minerva for the exp but doesn't - 7/72 Blocking forts with my dudes and riding to victory. Forged another Fire with crit The one where reaching the throne is dead easy - 6/78 Also, shopping for junk. Forged an Iron Sword Edited July 11, 2014 by Baldrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randa Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) actually i'm gonna take boah instead because he has an awesome stache.you mean the guy baldrick just took. also more chapters. chapter 4: 11/52 Not too bad. Castor was able to get a couple kills so he got two points of speed and strength. Ogma some how got a point of magic, and very usefully, strength. Rest was a mid pace so i could maximize exp. Chapter4.5: Forged ogma a +5mt, +5 crit fire tome. allows me to actually deal with armors in a decent fashion. Chapet 5: 6/58 Simple enough. The wolfguard laid down their lives for the team. Chapter 5.5: Jagen went sniper with his +4 mt steel bow Chapter 6: 10/67 Not bad. Jeigan and ogma did a lot of work while i usesd meatshields to secure my use of the gaiden.

Randa Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I might actually finish this draft before we even finish drafting it. chapter 6.5: forged marf a +2 silver sword Chapter 6X: Free(18)/67 Training/10 6.5X: Made a +5 iron sword in preparations of radd. also sold the bullion, i think. jagen went sm for armourslayer action as well. Chapter 7: 8/75 Rush to the bottom and cover the forts with disposables. Couldn't even kill the white wings. Chapter 7.5: Made a +5 Iron axe for Caesar. Chapter 8: 7/82 Run to the boss. Also buy a couple of silver sword. Chapter 8.5: Reclassed casear and radd. Radd got the seraph robe. Chapter 9: 8/90 Caesar got the treasure, radd got a couple kills but unfortunately didnt level up. Probably gonna promote ogma first so i can get staves. And so castor can maintain axe usage. Might give Radd the goddess icon. Not usre yet.

Randa Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Chapter 9.5: radd got a custom iron lance. dont remember specifics, but i thikn it was mt and crit. Chapter 10: 10/100 Meathshields distract the draco/pegs/minerva/reinforcements so my team could go left than jagen+castor killed the hero then jagen uses his armourslayer to murder the boss. Speedwings can wait till i get astram. also caesar unfortunately died. but whatever i dont have the energy to raise him so i don't think i'm gonna go back. Chapter 10.5: Promoted ogma. God he sucks right now. 6 str, 5 mag, 10 spd. uck. anyways slapped the godess icon on radd. and made castor a +3mt, +20 hit hammer for castor. reclassed jagen to pally for ridersbane and better move. Chapter 11; 11/111 wow thats a lot of ones. anyways khozen was a pain to deal with. the rest not so bad. Chapter 11.5: nothing interesting Chapter 12: Promoted casator mid map.my forces went left through the treasure room and then radd went and spent a master key to get the boots. Chapter 12.5: 11/122 Castor goes general. midia and dolph go sniper and hunter respectively. midia gets the energy drop from chapter 11. Chapter 12X: Something sub 20 like 13 turns i think. Training for midia, dolph and radd. Unfortunately dolph kinda died, but midia got strength and defense on her level up so i did not restart.

Baldrick Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) It doesn't bother me particularly.The one where Baldrick's run depends on a thief stealing the Wyrmslayer 9/87Jagen dealt with him, and sent it over to the convoy so Marth could use it. Barst chipped in.The one where the Master Seal Hero proved to be tough to deal with and then Jagen took his sweet time getting to C axes 11/98Meanwhile, Cord went inside, Javelin-lured the sniper to death, then had time to kill a couple of horseman reinforcements as well for massive exp, reaching level 15. The game reminded me I need to sac some undrafted by making Wendell die to a %2 crit.The one where Baldrick finally gets around to saccing undrafteds 10/108Cord promoted pre-chapter. Wolf charged ahead and managed to deal with the sniper and horseman by himself. He's good to go now.The one where saccing undrafted is so convenient 8/116Got everything except the chestbound Master Seal (Roger can wait) and the Silver Sword (still haven't touched the one Hardin donated to the cause).The one where I didn't deploy Boa because PKL (more like PK Smell) hasn't reclassed him yet 20/116Barst promoted at level 15 and burned through a Heal staff.

Doga walled the north enemies, Darros actually contributed quite a bit (he got two bad levels!) and Jeigan and Wrys carried the team. I'm not looking forward to chapter 4...

Baldrick Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 The one with all the ballistae 5/121Jagen went along the bottom to get the Hoistflamme, Roger and Jake went north to kill the moving ballista, everyone else went through the centre.The one with a stupid thief who goes after me rather than unlocking the Silver Card chest 6/127Treasure gathering is what those not called Wolf or Marth were doing while those two went to the throne.The one with the not-annoying desert 5/132Jagen got the boss kill while the others killed dragon knights or died on Gharnef.The one with an awkward corridor where Chainey is 7/139Jagen helped again by Hammering the boss once the bow users had been distracted. Sheeda and Athena went shopping.The one with a Secret Shop I mucked up and couldn’t reach without losing a turn 3/142So I didn’t go there in the end.The one where this Etzel is making me thirsty 20/142No commentThe one where Etzel gets the Arms Scroll and Baldrick stops crying 6/148But he couldn’t survive enemy waves like Wolf can so he didn’t do much.The one where Baldrick used a Master Key on a door because the item priority is silly 5/153I got some more swag by having Xane imitate Julian. #loopholeabuseThe one where Baldrick spams Parthia 6/159It was glorious. However, Parthia man is weak to forests so it took a while to get through.The one where Jake gets a turn at being trained because Wolf is max level 20/159Tbh I would have considered skipping this level if not for an extra chapter of Starsphere and recruiting Ymir.

Vennobennu Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) I never finished my draft. Well today I'll be taking a step towards correcting that. Turncounts are nothing tor write home about but I'm having fun with this! Chapter 4 - 12 (54)Forged a +5 Mt Rapier for Marth so he could OHKO Bentheon. Abel gained Magic somehow and Caeda capped speed.Recruited Merric and got the 5000G village. Marth and Jagen are pretty much my only good combat units, so anIron Sword forge is coming up for Caeda/Julian so they don't do 5X2 damage forever.Chapter 5 - 6 (60)Forged a +5Mt +15 Crt Iron Sword. Meatshields came in handy for recruiting Wendell here since my team is toofeeble to advance to the throne and hold off Wendell's group at once. As it is Caeda and Julian had to tradearound the Iron forge to kill things.Chapter 6 - 11 (71)Wendell takes up his new calling as a bald Sniper. He even gained Speed on his level! Also reclassed Jagen toSwordmaster so he could use the Armorslayer. Otherwise my team has depressingly little offense, Marth and hissuper Rapier was the only unit apart from Jagen that could even scratch Emereus. I had to savescum to get aVyland level that wasn't empty. Even with a +5 Mt Iron Lance forge he's barely better than the generics.Chapter 6x - (71)Vyland got a few good levels surprisingly; Abel continues to get everything but Strength or Magic, but now hasC Staves for Physic use.Forged a +3 Mt +15 Hit Javelin for Vyland.Chapter 7 - 11(82)Easy chapter, managed to block most of the forts before they spawned with Jagen and generic peg knights. Vyland gotsome surprisingly good levels on this chapter, though he's still reliant on his forges to kill things for now.Chapter 8 - 8(90)Rushed through, didn't bother trying to farm the reinforcements. Generic 16 Def Knight was the MVP.Chapter 9 - 11(101)Recruited Jeorge for his bows. I hung around for a couple of turns after Mannu died to kill some generics, since mysacrificial units had scattered the enemies to the corners of the map.Chapter 10 - 14 (115)Fun chapter, generics were useful for redirecting the fliers and then delaying the reinforcement horde. I had to take the longway through to recruit Maria and then recruit Minerva unfortunately.Minerva as a Paladin is underwhelming sadly - 8 Strength, 12 Speed and default weapon ranks.Chapter 11 - 14 (129)Played cautiously here, since nobody on my team can take a ballista+Khozen hit. Managed to recruit Jake's Arrowspate,and took the time to recruit Linde which is probably a mistake: her stats are abysmal even as a Mage and Archer is sure to be even worse.Chapter 12 - 12 (141)Linde died, but she is so utterly awful as an Archer it's not a big loss. Chapter 12x - (141) Killed things, visited villages, etc.Chapter 13 - 6 (148)Astram died, but I have enough Silver Swords as it is. This chapter was a bit luck-based for my terrible team, but nothing too bad.On the plus side a generic General joined with 21 Defence so my meatshielding worries are practically over for now.The team: Character Class Level HP Str Mag Skl Spd Luk Def Res Marth Lord 14 30 10 0 10 16 17 11 1 B Sword Caeda Swordmaster 1 31 10 0 22 23 20 9 3 A Sword Abel Sage 6 35 7 9 22 21 9 4 10 D Tome B Staff Jagen Dracoknight 6 24 8 1 11 9 4 12 3 A Lance E Axe Julian Thief 12 33 10 0 11 19 14 6 0 C Sword Vyland Cavalier 15 28 17 0 6 14 10 11 0 E Sword B Lance Wendell Sniper 7 27 7 1 9 20 6 10 0 B Bow Minerva Paladin 4 28 11 0 9 15 8 11 6 E Sword D Lance Beck Ballistician 2 base Basically Vyland and Caeda are carrying the team right now. Abel is also pretty sweet since nobody has any resistance in this game and he doubles everything.

Vennobennu Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 The legend continues! Chapter 14 - 10 (158)Another easy chapter. I skipped the Thoron village but had to wait up a bit for Catria to talk to Marth.Chapter 15 - 7 (165)Forged a +5 Thunder tome for Catria. This was a fun chapter; generics lured Gharnef away so Jagen could fly in and loot the treasure chest with a Master Key.Genrics were also useful for splitting up the Mage/Bishop group in the northwest so Marth didn't have to take so many hits on the way to the throne.Chapter 16 - 8 (173)Why is this chapter so empty? Why do the reinforcements only start on Turn 11? Neither of these questions were answered, but Vyland promoted to Dracoknight.Now he has 20 Strength and ORKOs almost anything he doubles!Chapter 17 - 11 (184)Could have finished in 4 turns, but I wanted all the treasure. Beck was pretty handy for random Stonehoist hits on Mages and Bishops.Chapter 17x - (184)Actually came close to 20 turns here from collecting all the treasure. My units are starting to pull ahead of the curve so it wasn't too difficult otherwise.Chapter 18 - 10 (194)Forged a +3 Ridersbane for Minerva, and just rolled on south. Jagen chipped in here and there to build his Axe rank.Waited around a couple of turns to let Est catch up, but I never saw any more reinforcements. I guess killing Sternlinstops them?Chapter 19 - 15 (209)Got all the treasure, otherwise I could have taken much less time here. This was also perhaps the first chapter wherein Julian's thieveing abilitieswere really essential. Between the two sets of Master Keys, the Unlock staff, and cheap buyable Door Keys thieves have it rough in this game.Chapter 20 - 9 (218)The forged Ridersbane came in handy here for OHKO'ing those pesky Paladins. Camus was handled by a Hoistlfamme shot from Beck followed by Vylandskewering him with his Ridersbane. Nothing to it.Chapter 20x - (218)Enemies here are weaker than in C20! Larissa is especially depressing. Forged a +5 Mt +10 Hit +10 Crit Javelin so that Minerva and Vyland could both have super 1-2 range weapons.Minerva's become surprisingly powerful - certainly a far cry from when I thought she'd be only good for chip.

Vennobennu Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 And here comes the finish! Chapter 21 - 6 (224)Easy peasy. Could have done it in 4 turns but I forgot about the secret shop and sent Vyland there too late. Finally Wendell will have double-digit strength!Chapter 22 - 10 (234)I decided against getting Starlight - it's honestly only good for killing Gharnef, the Starsphere is much too fun to give up, and this way I can get to C24x. I took the time to let Minerva duel Michalis,otherwise could have finished in 8-9 turns. Beck with a +5 Arrowspate was pretty hilarious here, but otherwise this was pretty ho-hum.Chapter 23 - 11 (245)With Pure Water/Barrier applied, the Swarm Bishops ignored my useful units in favor of generic meatshields. Beck had fun sniping Bishops and Mages with his forged Arrowspate, andthanks to the Starsphere he didn't wear it out one bit!Finally, forged a +8 Wyrmslayer for Caeda. Honestly I probably could have gotten away with +5, but I wanted it as high as possible.Chapter 24 - 4 (249)Marth and Caeda walked across the mountains, and on turn 2 Caeda counterkilled three Manaketes with her Wyrmslayer forge. Meanwhile Jagen made a pitstop at the Secret Shop andbought a bunch of Arms Scrolls and Seraph Robes - since Vyland was busy taking on Bishops with Gradivus, Jagen was in fact my only party member capable of doing this. Go Jagen!Chapter 24x - (249)Once again a sharp downgrade in difficulty from the previous chapter - these gaidens really weren't meant for great players with strong units. As it is I cruised throughin just nine turns. I also used two of my Arms Scrolls to bring Vyland up to A Axes - might as well use that Hautclere for something, right?A nice breather chapter before we get into the last one.Forged a +5 Bolganone for Abel for kicks, couldn't think of much else to throw my remaining money at.Endgame - 14 (263)This one was tricky indeed. The Pachyderm ballisticians could quickly overwhelm my team if left to spawn; Wendell, Julian, Beck and Minerva took the northwest to handle them.Abel and Vyland took the southwest spot, and Marth/Caeda/Catria/Nagi brought up the south. The northeast corner I filled up with generics and Elice, to bait the Dracoknight and General awayand trap them there once the doors closed.Minerva with Gradivus and Wendell managed to take out the Hero and Manakete on the first turn, while Beck sniped the dead north group; from then on Julian and Wendell sat on the stairs toprevent Ballistician spawns. The south groups cleaned up the nearby enemies easily enough, and then it was time to fight the Dracos/Paladins/General from the north entrance. The constantreinforcements in Medeus's rooms proved to be a challenge to deal with, but more distressingly, Medeus doubled and ORKO'd everybody on my team except for Caeda, who only dealt 10 damage with Mercurius.I probably could have rigged a 29% crit + Nagi hit on the following turn to speed things up though.As it was, Catria got the final blow with Aura after a few turns chipping away, and that was that - draft completed! Eat it, all my competitors that never finished!I didn't play for minimum turns, in fact I often hung around to grab treasure, but I did try to avoid wasting time, and overall I'm pretty happy with my final turncount.

He really missed having the real Falchion versus Medeus too. Caeda: Ridiculously fragile early on, but thanks to her Iron Sword forge and Marth support she had some decent offence. She really came into her own after promotion, where she doubled everything, had Silver Swords to throw around, and dodged most attacks. Hilariously she was the only unit not to be ORKO'd by Medeus at the end. Abel: Healbot early on, but healing was handy and he never stopped getting Speed. After promotion being able to double with magic made his combat very potent, but he had to juggle his combat and healing duties. Abel turned out far better than I had been expecting when Horace gave him the Cleric class. Jagen: Not much to say here, Jagen was clutch early on, great in the midgame for Ridersbane fun, and helpful later on for shopping and such. Jagen found a use all the way until the Macedon chapters, where he mostly hung up his spurs and visited shops. Julian: In combat he was Caeda Lite; after she promoted Julian kind of got left behind, but he was still good for ORKOing slower enemy types. His Thief utility was handy on some chapters, but swordlock and lack of promo gains did hurt him in the end when Paladins, Heroes and Manaketes took center stage. He didn't see much action in the lategame. Vyland: He looked hopeless early on - even with forges he struggled to do damage and not die. Luckily though, he started to pick up steam and became surprisingly powerful; after promotion he was my best combat unit and took hardly any stat boosters. Wendell: Having great speed and exclusive bow access made Wendell very useful early on, especially when fliers showed their faces. Later, he was able to patch up his bad Strength with Energy Drops and Parthia use, letting him do serious damage all the way 'til the end. Minerva: Having to start practically from scratch as a Paladin was a great blow to her usefulness, but with help from a Speedwings and Energy Drop she recovered and managed to become a fine Gradivus wielder. She ended up being Speed blessed by my reckoning, which was good because being able to double helped cover for her iffy strength and weapon ranks early on. I gave her a little favoritism in boosters and forges, but I say it was worth it for how well she turned out Beck: As always, a great boon from the moment he joined; whether shooting Dracoknights out of the sky, erasing those pesky clerics, or just chipping down Medeus, Beck was always doing work.
