Oshimos Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) I've always wanted to do one of these, and since I've both never played the new translation patch yet and never played through hard mode yet, I might as well get all three things done at once. To make things more exciting, I'm only using units who're categorized as Low or Utter Shit tier in the HM Teir list (http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=18979). Some rules I've set for myself: 1) Roy counts as a crappy unit 2) Marcus is free for the first few chapters since I'd get massacred without him 3) Unpromoted healers are also okay 4) I can take anyone from Low tier to endgame, but Sophia and Wendy have to be there 5) Forced units get villages and shops, but can’t initiate an attack or tank for real units 6) I can use a thief, but once I have Cath it has to be her 7) I can use save states, but I’ll try and keep them fairly minimal 8) People voted that I can use Lalum, so she's free too Anyway, with that, here it goes! [spoiler=Chapter One] And so it begins. Obligatory expository banter Obligatory-er title card I will never get over how beautiful this man is Does anyone in the castle actually end up dying? This kinda gets glossed over. So… did Hector and Eliwood just kind of swap kids? I don’t feel like Lilina being here actually adds to the scene in any meaningful way other than to rub in your face that she exists and you can’t have her yet. The crew. Lance won’t be needing these. Yoink Perfect defensive formation. Nothing can possibly go wrong. (I apparently forgot to sreencap the first enemy turn because I’m an idiot, but Roy got attacked and the rest of the red guys moved in for the lump in the back, so I moved Marcus up to block them) Marcus is so much cooler purple than orange. Wolt finishes off the Warrior from above, netting me my first kill. Bors miraculously helps chip FLAWLESS TACTICS Roy’s first kill. He’s been pretty boss at dodging so far. Wolt, on the other hand… Bors would’ve gotten doubled, so I just sat him there to protect Wolt from more axes to the head. Ditto for Marcus, except he’s mostly just not attacking because I don’t want him hogging the exp. Tanking like a purple champ Meanwhile, Wolt tries his hardest to be helpful I figured I could risk it since Bors needs exp and I’ve got Marcus and Roy there as backup, but he comes through for me again. (Also I might have completely forgotten about that village until just now) My tactical skills remain unparalleled Much better. Bors is using up all the luck in this whole run right at the start, just you wait. Wolt chugs a vulnerary in preparation for an archer-off Meanwhile dodge master Roy takes on that brigand. Wolt is possibly a little outclassed. Roy takes down the brigand and gets the first level of the run! And… it’s the shittiest 4 stat level possible. At least Res will be kind of nice eventually. Maniacal laughter This was supposed to be the killing blow but apparently if you screencap at the wrong time you just get the flash and can’t see anything. Bors, showing Roy how it’s done. I lured one fighter out by himself and had Roy dodge tank him as long as he could. youtried.png Risked it, everything paid off. Time to vulnerary up and go for the next one. The dodge master at work. Roy plz you’re my only sword user until Juno/Dyan Last one before the guys by the castle So close …Or not Honourably sacrificing the kill to his lord Dodge master Roy finally gets hit. That’s more like it. When you get this close, the remaining grunts start charging at you. Combat montage Next fighter Roy plz T_____T Just the archer and the boss left, now. The archer couldn’t hurt Bors, so I had them dance for a while. He’s got a point; if they’d just gone around the little ledge, I’d have been SOL. This fight is pretty much just chipping forever. Roy heals up so he can help. everyborsattack.png Dodge master Roy made it like, three rounds. I had to resort to Marcus-ing him since waiting for Bors to hit the boss like 5 times without Wolt missing would have taken forever, but I didn’t want Marcus to get the kill, so I had him wait. Chip levels. Everyone’s putting Roy to shame. Ffffff If Roy’d missed and been killed, I’d have raged. That is not how I think I will ever be able to describe this army. Tears Roy’s finally home I don’t care how sick the story says Eliwood is, if he managed to hold off any of these guys he is definitely still fit enough to be leading this army, especially over base Str Roy of all people. So, this means I’m gonna get reinforcements from like, Santaruz and Kathelet and all those other places, right? Right? “Without Marquess Manly-Beard there, the people will be distressed, but if this tiny girl with no experience takes over everything will be fine!” He is talking about Merlinus. At least someone does. And that’s it! Hope you enjoyed reading, and I’ll try to update fairly frequently, though y’all know how these things work.

Oshimos Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Well, I'll have unpromoted healers, and I can use all but three of the divine weapons (two, if I were to get Dyan, but Sacae looks like a very bad idea for this team), so I'm gonna stick it out as long as I can. If things get too hairy I can make some exceptions later, but I'd like to see how doable this is firsthand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oshimos Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Chapter 2! I was gonna wait until tomorrow to post this, but I just finished it and it kinda feels like a waste to just hold on to it. Anyway, this one was a lot easier than chapter 1, imo. It didn’t really require any more strategy than throwing my units at the enemies and getting half-decent rng. [spoiler=Chapter Two] That’s what the chapter’s called Pre battle plot Merlinus’ only role in the story is to tell Roy not to do things and then to have Roy completely ignore him. If he was learning tactics from Hector, it’s probably just “Run at them with your weapons and then you win” What did I just tell you This is my first double of the run. Gotta love soldiers. End of turn one. The lump formation is by far the most effective. Attacks happen Hooray! Wade and his gang of people I’m not gonna use. Some stuff with Roy’s gang to take care of first, though First off, yoink! Time to get axin’ Shanna who is not named Thany grabs Deke and hangs out in the mountains for the remainder of the chapter. Wade boldly holds the fort all by himself. Meanwhile… Flawless strategy. Shit. Let’s try that again. One reset later… The Roy crew takes out the fighters on the left side of the map See? All gone. Having a healer makes things a lot less complicated. Operation Juggernaut Wade enters phase two. Healing up for round three. Bro time So heartwarming He’s been taking pointers from Roy Can you believe this is the first time someone leveled up this chapter? The rest of the army has finally made it to the enemies You know you’re a shit enemy when… Yeah, I had that coming. You were doing so well T__T Allen has fulfilled his purpose in this map Roy tries to stay relevant At… at least there’s speed? Wade is still king of the fort Enough sitting around, it’s axemurder time. These soldiers are just here to make me feel complacent, aren’t they? No Str, no Spd, no good. Baiting them out Dodge master Roy does the only thing he can kind of do. Bors is a master bater /canned laughter I didn’t check and was not expecting the blade. I figured Bors’d just get tinked like with the archers. why Wolt for best tank And he’s gone. I tried to bait the next fighter and then the archer, but neither move until you’re awkwardly close. Therefore blitz the fighter This archer was a pain, though Boss time You can go home now, Bors fe6axehitrates.png It took me 6 shots to finally hit him. I was not going through that again, so I hit him with Roy’s Armorslayer. The Rapier would have done 2 damage due to the fact that my Roy is anemic. (Also I totally forgot that I hadn’t healed Roy before this attack) 40% Str growth my ass. Time to save a princess. Gasp! …But that’s exactly what you did? Yeah, spoilers: that’s not gonna happen.

Oshimos Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Here’s chapter three. This one went a lot less smoothly than I’d have liked it to, but I made it through with a lot less hassle than I could have by taking it insanely slow. [spoiler=chapter Three] …but then they all died war’s over. New translation differences Sudden Hector appearance Harsh I like how Chad just kind of shows up offscreen and then is just kinda there Chapter, start! The plan: Marcus gets Lugh, Wade gets the dudes by the house, the rest take care of the castle entrance. Oh wait this is hard mode This guy sketches me out just a little too much. I think it’s the squinting. Then he just, takes the children away and is never seen from again. New plan: move Wade back to the cluster by the gate and pray for some dodges. Marcus is still going after Lugh. Dodges happen for the most part thanks to the magic of forests, then I finally make some headway Well, it’s not the worst level I’ve seen this run I probably should have given Marcus an axe. He’s getting less invincible very quickly. I am really glad I have an axe user for all these lances. notcloseatall.png Roy’s helping. Wolt is not helping. :S Final boss shoutout If you think about it, Erik is the reason that this chapter is winnable ‘Evisceration’ is a pretty fun word This was the only dodge that I had to rig in this chapter. I’m trying to keep it to a minimum if possible. This was my flawless defensive formation, by the way Axe to the head Wolt is actually pretty decent notrisky.png This game is conspiring against me I’m finally inside the castle Also Marcus finally made it to Lugh. He had to blow a few Silver Lance uses on the soldiers, though. I sent Bors in to take care of the ponies, and he spends something like the next fifteen turns fighting them off. I let the first group go around and fed them to these two Whyyyyyy My next 22 screenshots are just Bors versus cavs so I’ll just give you this miserable one and save you the trouble. I sent the crew in to finish off the last round. Lyn confirmed for Roy’s mother You would not believe how relieved I was to be done with the ponymen. Whoever decided to give the hammer 45% hit was not my friend. Have I mentioned the game hates me yet? At least he’s got pretty good strength Roy does his thing Treasure time Roy can’t even two-hit them with the armorslayer :I Several less than effective turns later… Roy tries to take the throne room my himself, with mixed results Elen has been leveling too, not that it matters much I really wish I got another sword user before the end of the game Many dodges later This is not the most effective strategy Neither is this I thought I’d been using it pretty conservatively, but Heal heals for nothing when you’ve got 1 Mag. This was my first critical of the run. Good job Roy. BAD JOB ROY Fun fact: if my math isn’t wrong, Roy’s odds of having base strength at level 9 are around 1.7%. Last minute trading since I don’t remember which chapter you get battle preparations. Guh just get me out of here Merlinus, being useful Hector you already beat a dragon that was like 4x stronger than the Manaketes these guys have got Why is everyone just constantly foisting their leadership duties onto some kid? A Wyrmslayer? ‘Cause Durandal isn’t worth shit until Roy promotes in 100 years and can get S swords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irysa Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Are you planning on arena abusing? Actually, scratch that, the first arena is chapter 7, and I don't really see how a team of Roy Wolt Wade Dorothy is going to even manage to safely clear out 7 on HM without farming all the reinforcements in 5 and 6!

How long is Marcus legal for? Marcus is legal until I can make it without him. I'm definitely using him until 8x because there's no way I'm beating Henning without him, but i'm going to try and drop him after that if possible. Also, I'm not going to arena abuse. I might throw someone in there for a round or two if they're around one and not doing anything, but I won't draw out a chapter to grind anyone.

Oshimos Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Time for another chapter of “How Long Can Roy Go Without Gaining Strength?” [spoiler=Chapter 4] Yeah, there’s a war going on and all, but his real motivation is the girl The new translation chapter names are a lot more poetic sounding than the old ones were I’m pretty sure that Erik is older than Narcian Get rekt All these units and I can use like, 5 of them Meanwhile all these horses are just going to charge at me Yoink More yoinkage Swapping one effective weapon for another Unlike my other defensive formations, this one might actually result in success Successful defending And then the counterattack Allen doing what he does best I am so glad the Halberd has 55 hit. It’s only 10 more than the hammer, but it feels way more reliable Mopped up everyone but the Nomad Rutger being eloquent as usual Marcus is getting a lot more use in this chapter since there’s too many enemies in too much open space to deal with things otherwise. Also these Nomads are a huge pain. They hit Wade for 20 after the double. :\ Slowly making my way out of the starting zone 9 damage with an effective weapon. At least he can still dodge. Healer number 2 makes her entrance Meanwhile axes continue to be the worst And by axes, I mean my luck with level ups Roy has to heal up. Dodging’s a lot harder when the enemies all have lances The bros work on taking down a single enemy while the rest of my army is actually useful I am not allowed to complain about any level that includes a Spd proc. Finally cleared out the right side of the map Please no More units should join by talking to you instead of making you work your way to them. Especially if they don’t agro enemies. Roy’s just going to sit here and fight off pirates for the next hundred years while poking them for 7 damage. Fortunately, the hand axers can’t hit him but won’t go after the village if there’s a valid target in range Suddenly, the Rutger gang. Welp. Meanwhile, Roy lives up to all of my expectations. I’m really not a fan of Clarine’s colour palette. I feel like it would have been so much nicer with a darker purple. I call this ‘Operation don’t get massacred by Rutger’ Marcus is also pretty successful. Roy the overachiever Taking out Rutger’s crew. I’m really glad that hit rates didn’t dick me over this time. Please put that Killing Edge down If I saw a general with 5 strength, I wouldn’t bother learning his name either. I let Rutger block the last member of his reinforcements since Clarine would have been wrecked and losing out on a Killing Edge use is a pretty big price anyway. Roy’s gonna be occupied for a while. Bors makes his way toward the castle …Shit. I reloaded a state I had from a turn earlier and moved the reject crew as far away as I could Rip in pieces Have I mentioned I love the Halberd? Had to blow some more Silver Lance uses, unfortunately I’m not even disappointed any more; his repeated failures have just left me numb These guys are still here He was holding Chad and I was honestly not expecting to make it out of this one Can’t win ‘em all. Wade MVP Roy update: still up to his eyeballs in pirates Bors update: still couldn’t hit the broad side of a truck PRAISE ELIMINE These guys are finally gone Roy chases the last pirate into the ocean Wolt keeps up the trend of letting me down as often as possible Fortunately Wolt’s got some manly friends who don’t take kindly to bullying Well, he’s certainly a fighter. Shopping time. Bought a butt ton of everything. Yussss I’m glad they couldn’t even be bothered to make his hair colour match :I Wade continues to be the only member of this army who gets anything done rescuechains.png Boom. Have my babies And that’s a wrap. It was completely unprecedented! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chococoke Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 If your awesome luck with level ups continues you may have to hold on to Marcus for a while. For clarification, can you list all of the units that you plan on using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irysa Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Lol, I bet Marcus is still your best unit by the time the Western Isles come round. If you make it through chapter 7. God, come to think of it, what about the bosses after that? I bet Wade will be doubled by Leygance in chapter 8, and he has like sub 20 displayed hitrate with the hammer anyway, so Marcus or Roy will have to use the armorslayer on him. Then there's Henning who has 14 AS and 22 atk or something ridiculous on top of 38/15 defences and 50+ avd, so you'll be stuck with Marcus trying to Killing Edge him once you get him to swap to his hand axe. Actually wait, he's got 16 AS with his Hand Axe, so Marcus is doubled without the speedwing! (lmao) Edited July 23, 2014 by Irysa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oshimos Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Nothing's more fun than coming into the topic and watching everyone theorycrafting my demise. :P Anyway, here’s chapter 5. I’m gonna tell you up front: I had to rig a fair number of crits to make this chapter doable with just my ludicrously bad units. Regardless, I did manage somehow, so here it is! [spoiler=Chapter Five] If only the other territories had 16 year-old kids to recruit, then maybe he could trust them. Title drop My favourite character makes a comeback I really wish Roy’d taken Merlinus’ advice for once and just ditched them A friendly reminder that this is only chapter 5 Most of these guys actually make this chapter harder because I don’t want anyone to die and there are just too many of them to herd around anymore Also I would really like the battle preparations screen, tyvm Wade holds the fort (literally) since everyone else starts too far away to be any help this turn Also, Lot apparently got a bunch of support points last chapter while hiding in the corner with the other overachievers Starting things off on a good note Roy gets the Killing Edge and the Steel Blade because there’s no way I’m taking on a legion of axemen with just his 5 Mt swords and 6 Strength This was supposed to be mid crit-swing, but I effed up, so you’ll have to imagine it The whole army heads up. I tried splitting up and got to a point where I couldn’t possibly win even with save states, not to mention the fact that Marcus, Bors, and Wolt together couldn’t take down a Brigand even attacking all together. Wade really needs to take some notes from the dodgemaster That’s what I’m telling you two. Please don’t leave me with these failures. Helping Roy is MVP this chapter, btdubs Bors is not. Oh jeez that’s a lot of enemies If you’re gonna crit, please do it on the first hit. Marcus needs a real weapon if he’s gonna be any help. Maybe if I feed Wolt enough kills, he won’t be dead weight forever I’m so proud I really wish anti-cavalry weapons worked on Nomads in this game. They’re crazy strong, so I’ve gotta take them out quickly Despite how much of a failure he is, I have absolute faith in Roy’s ability to dodge, for some reason :SSS Anyway, as I was saying… And that’s the other bow pony down. At least Wade has the strength to help finish everything off I’m sending Marcus off to take care of the Brigands who cross the mountains from the castle. Meanwhile, Bors and Wolt hide with the pubs Marcus proves that he’s a member of this team The Killing Edge is getting low, so I bust out the behemoth They’re finally thinning out I’m really gonna miss this thing Bors will really appreciate this I tried to bait, but that Merc doesn’ move Fortunately, he doesn’t even move when you start hitting him from 2 range It shouldn’t take three people to take out a fighter levelups.png Surprise enemies from the castle. They got impatient, apparently. Meanwhile: Marcus These Mercs were a pain This guy survived with like 3 HP because Roy is useless I meant to have Wolt attack this guy but moved the curser too far and supported Roy instead. It all worked out, though, since they get +1 attack and decent bonus crit at B. Blowing Killing Edge uses, no big. This guy had way lower stats for some reason and almost tricked me into thinking that Wolt was magically good. Beautiful. (Except that was his second last Killing Edge use) Marcus finally takes out the second Brigand. His job is done for this chapter. It kinda breaks the spirit of things but I was sick of reinforcements. I think they stopped next turn anyway, tbh Just because it’s 4 stats doesn’t mean it’s impressive, Wolt Unrigged iron sword crit courtesy of Wolt One day maybe one of my units will gain speed. Not today. 40% is the lowest %. Two luck crits in a row. I spent probably five minutes trying to think of how to take out these guys without blowing my Killing Edge and then the power of friendship did it for me. And that’s it for the grunts. I had to whip out the Steel Blade again, since the Rapier was only 2 damage so it was useless even if it were to crit. He hit me with the Killer Axe once, but I dodged the rest. roy.png Also he switched back to the Hand Axe for some reason? The only thing I can think of was to discourage Wolt’s 4 damage chip shots. I wanted to feed the kill to Wolt, but Roy was the only one who could hit and iron+iron was only 6 damage Just get me out of here As for the units I'm using, my potential pool is: Roy Cath Wolt Ward DayanJuno GeeseHughDouglasBarthMerlinusBorsDorothyKarel Sophia Wendy And also Saul, Elen, and Clarine, but I can't promote them. At this point, I'm pretty much banking on Geese and Hugh being not-screwed and carrying me through the later chapters. Maybe one of the Generals, too. At least I've got enough bows to take care of the Wyverns. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oshimos Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Alright, chapter 6, featuring 90% less cheese. This one was ridiculously easy after the past chapters. It kind of felt like they forgot to give the enemies their hardmode bonuses. [spoiler=Chapter 6] New friends! This is definitely going to happen Yusssssss Here’s my crew Not about traps anymore Today’s episode: Roy vs the Generic Shaman Creeplord ‘Sup My strategy of doing the same thing I do in normal mode with a real team continues He is worse than Roy. What parallel dimension have I fallen into? I’m doubling things. Everything I know is a lie. At the start of the map, I was pretty worried about those mages. Feeding Dorothy some kills. EVEN BORS IS DOUBLING I’m scared. At least some things never change Or do they? *Manly tears* Okay seriously, whoever gave these soldiers 3 speed on hard mode after the capped strength barbarian king last chapter needs to get their shit together. Support bros You tried The bottom half of the map posed no threat whatsoever “Ensnared” “Girls? In my army? Yeah, what the hell, you can sit on the bench with the rest of the crew.” 1/3 Still feeding Dorothy Oh look, she fits right in already Stationing some guys down here for when the reinforcements show up Accidentally aggroed a mage. They’re the only real threat in this chapter. C’mon Wade, we had something good going before Now that Chad’s got Cath’s lockpick, it’s time for the chests Buncha reinforcements from the throne room What is strength Wade’s a big boy, he can handle it Best day I never remember about these guys, I always just get caught up on the cavs from the south There we go, I knew you could do it More presents SPEED Wolt’s the only one with >25 hit. FE6 Thrones are kind of stupid. Not as exciting as Wade’s speed, but I’ll take it. Clarine gets an actually useful level This was a crit, btdubs. The short bow’s a fun toy. This was apparently the kill shot I caught. I wanted Drothy to get it, but she had 22 hit with the steel bow and couldn’t KO him with the iron. These guys were in the unlock staff room The spoils of war No sweat Lawl Closing notes: the reinforcements from the south never spawned. I left Roy and Bors down there the whole time for nothing. I’m pretty sure I didn’t dream them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irysa Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) The southern reinforcements dont spawn unless your entire army goes past a certain line in the middle of the map.

Oshimos Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Chapter 7! I was one image over when I went to post this, and chapters are only getting longer from here, so I'm gonna have to either cut down on screenshots or start double posting. :S [spoiler=Chapter 7] He looks trustworthy; I can see why Hector would keep this guy around. The team. I OCD-ed my units around a bit. What even is that thing in the background of the title card? I always see it as a cup, but that doesn’t really make that much sense. Elibe has the shittiest armies. Battle start. As usual, I split my army up because I’m grossly overconfident in my units’ ability to be not the worst. Plus, my other patented tactic: the clump. The first enemy phase goes surprisingly well. My friends the green guys who are actually blue guys make their appearance Having two Silver Lance users is really nice. Cavs feel really durable in this game. Good thing I don’t get any myself. And nobody was surprised He’s decently bulky, though. Oh jeez Wyverns already I’m recruiting everyone, js y’all k. Treck’s entire job is to make that as difficult as possible. Jerrot is one of those Shanna names that I’m just not going to get used to. There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just that he was Zealot for years. At least no one got Ulster-ed. Enter green-blue number three. At least he’s got a vulnerary. Things don’t really look up for him, though. :\ Damnit Dorothy Grabbing him so he can grab Jerrot so he can grab Treck. Also so that he doesn’t proceed to suicide on random mooks. I decided to just bite the bullet and feed Bors the kill. I have been rewarded for my decision. The state of things. Wade is capable of holding off his corner by himself while the healers hide in a corner. Enemies run away to use vulneraries instead of suiciding on your crippled and outnumbered units and I think that’s lovely. I only checked the range on the cav thinking that if he couldn’t hit me I’d be fine. The archer couldn’t double, though, so it all worked out. Wolt’s job in this chapter is taking out a single merc who’s just kinda dicking around in the middle of my formation More Treck Totally capable of handling himself. The first of many enemy physicians. (Physician is definitely the proper term for a psysic user. Think about it.) Green-Jerrot tries to help and fails spectacularly Thanks, Green-Jerrot. That was definitely the best target you could have picked. Support crit. Heals for the only consistently successful member of my army. This guy had just too much health for Bors to take out without blowing a Silver He’s the shittiest Roy ever and also probably my second most useful combat unit. Marcus has hit the point where he’s pretty much on par with the rest of my guys. These archers just kinda… ran away. Getting him to survive here was the only thing I had to rig this chapter. Merlinus is the best bait Finally converted these two to the blue team. This will definitely come in handy Marcus level. He’s only here for another few chapters anyway. Whoops This mage was standing in a choke point that would have left me having to dodge another Wyvern stab with Treck if I didn’t attack him with Jerrot, so I let my rule about not attacking with him slide since it was a pretty minor attack to make it so he I wouldn’t have to rig more dodges. Wyvern threat: eliminated. Yeah, this happened earlier, but the shots flow better this way This chapter has some sweet village loot The cav got sick of attacking Merlinus and moved on to Clarine, but she’s as dodgy as Roy :I That’s what I think of you. Context-less Dorothy level. Thank goodness for strength. Last Wyvern. Poor Roy can’t do shit. …Which is good, because the guy was loaded. I’m glad that I have multiple bow users in Wyvern Emblem, even if they suck I think I’m gonna let Wade get closer to 20 before popping this, but it will be greatly appreciated. Why do I even bother Stocking up My precioussssss This will also be highly appreciated Taking on the boss’ little orgy of grunts You do care! Wade got left behind to take care of the reinforcement cavs. I kinda wish I’d left the Halberd on him, but Clarine’s got it right now. *grumps audibly* *grumping redacted* I always found it weird that this was pretty much an outdoor chapter but they squished some chests in the corner. If this was any other game these’d have just been drops. Marcus, being useful This’ll come in handy; my old one was running low Huh, unique dialogue. Who’d ’a thunk it. Returned to gut you, fatty One turn more and Wade probably would’ve been toast. Okay, real talk here. Is Lilina/Relena actually a real name or is just something that Japanese people made up and for some reason think is a name that European noble girls have? ‘Cause I’ve seen three of them and can’t find evidence of it being a real name. Anyway, I was expecting this chapter to be a major pain in the ass, but honestly, compared to the hell that was chapter 5, this wasn't a big deal. The only real challenge was keeping Treck alive long enough to recruit him. Tune in next time for the joining of two more very promising units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oshimos Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Which routes are you planning to take? I'm planning on taking Echidna's route in the Western Isles because it gives me Geese a chapter earlier, and I'm planning on going Ilia because a) Juno's the only flier elegible to be used and b) my team of axe users and slowpokes would get wrecked in Sacae.

eclipse Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 As long as Sue/Shin don't gain a level, you're off to Ilia. Good luck~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
