FE6 HM: Crappy Units Bonanza!

[Silith]

Seize looks like Geize in that last picture.

[eclipse]

Polls stay there unless you take them out entirely.

That being said, your Sophia is picking up the slack from Roy.

[Oshimos]

Here’s the third Legendary Weapon gaiden, Chapter 14x.

[spoiler=Chapter 14x]

The preamble wasn’t that exciting.

The gang

Why was this called “The Infernal Element” before? Does it get called that in 7? ‘Cause that’s a totally different word, not a translation choice.

This guy looks more like an old NPC from a house that I wouldn’t bother to visit than a boss

“That’s why no one you get here can use Anima”

First order of business

Second order of business. I figure he’s better having a decent midgame and being benched later than being shit now and maybe-okay later when I’ve already got 5 other potential axe users anyway.

7 move is beautiful

This is still happening

I tried this the first time. Geese got Bolting-doubled. Reset!

Shamans have the best dodge. Who needs to move when you can just phase a few inches back?

Pictured: Geese not being useless. Dat 62 crit.

If you’re gonna proc a 20% growth, at least make it be Def.

Poison axes are dumb.

(He’s still kinda bad)

It’s fine

I hate this map

Poisoned criticals are actually pretty exciting.

Don’t do this to me, baby

Why is Eclipse even a thing

Sophia gets ALL THE STATBOOSTERS

I gave my Sophia all the Speedwings and then she gets speed blessed on top of that. I’m kinda regretting not giving one to Barth.

Other than Spd and Res, he’s really good. And then, he’s an armour, so he’s not gonna get those.

Hahaha no

This one was a Physician

Geese gets the level he’s always dreamed of

Best at map awareness

Have I mentioned I hate this map?

Also, Sophia is completely wasting this opportunity

Wolt’s in the top corner with Geese and Bors, doing his best. Speed levels are always nice.

:(

I got sick of waiting around

Barth isn’t quite as tanky as I’d like him to be.

ALL THE STAT BOOSTERS

Whoops! (This wasn’t the boss, it was his two-squares in front lacky)

That’s what I’m talkin’ about.

(So bad)

Sophia’s first actual use: tanking Boltings. With Barrier she soaks them up quite nicely.

There’s the A I needed to warpskip this chapter

Why can’t my real units get levels like this? :(

Instead I just get a ton of these. :\

YOLO

I went all two on one with the Longbow to take this guy out without getting damaged so I could survive Oates’ Bolting; then I realized that he blew his lasr one on Wendy.

That’s my girl.

I wanted to feed him to Wendy, but she did 5 damage before the crit. On a Sage.

OTP

I’m so glad there’s only one of each gimmick level

Is it specifically residency that’s the thing, or could Roy open it because he’s ¼ dragon? (Yeah, Ninian’s as close to canon as we’re gonna get, deal)

The weapon with the least consistency in titles.

He thinks the temple is his lawn

“By your mom! Ohhhhhhhhh!”

The bow that I will take from her and give to Dorothy, to be specific

Nothing could possibly go wrong

Hotbook get. It's a shame I won't get to use it for a while, since it's still 2 chapters until Hugh and he starts with a C in Anima.

[ZemZem]

:Sophia:

She needs more magic, and pronto. Her speed is just fine, but it shouldn't slack off, either.

[Nobody]

give the boots to the best Fire Emblem girl aka Wendy

[bottlegnomes]

You need to get your Roy to learn from the pickle's and he really needs his Saul to learn from yours.

[eclipse]

Why is Eclipse even a thing

AHEM!

On a more serious note, it is extremely good at reducing walls to 1 HP.

[Oshimos]

Chapter 15! I always get this confused with Ephraim’s chapter 13, since they’re both spiral maps in which a general finds a dragon girl.

[spoiler=Chapter 15]

This chapter’s raison d’être.

Gender neutral chapter title

The badguys. He’s… not very threatening.

She has like, three speed. I don’t see how that could possibly cause anything catastrophic.

Starting the chapter off with some free junk

Dorothy’s growing fairly nicely, if you completely ignore her speed and defences.

This Valk cam out of nowhere and doubled Dorothy. I got a super lucky dodge, though, so it all worked out.

Valk #1 down. Wendy is still the worst. She’s mediocre at all trades, decent at none.

Sophia’s just kinda floating around behind things and Fluxing them.

Suddenly Garrett and his bro. Apparently, this is his last appearance for real. :(

Guess who forgot to give Saul a new staff?

This garbage level puts Wade 1 away from capping HP.

9 damage with an Armorslayer. Gotta love that 26 def.

None of my promoted units can get nice levels anymore

Sophia is doubling. I think she’s actually second only to Wolt with that Spd, actually.

Luring in Garret

This chick’s on the move, too.

My Physic’s running low. I’m kinda banking on getting a new one soon, though I don’t actually remember when soon is.

Gerret’s a jerk

So am I

Here’s my anti-Longbow formation. It’d be an anti Garret formation too, but he doesn’t move on this turn for some reason.

“Like joining the Lycian army”

I’m just putting this here for comparison’s sake. T_T

Another garbage level

Just in time

Nice. I’m not really sure what I’ll use it on, since I probably won’t be warpskipping, but I’m sure I’ll appreciate it when the time comes.

No! Bad Sophia!

Saul’s last level. He did pretty well for himself, if you ignore the Def.

Wade finally gets a good level, and caps HP to boot

I’m just kind of clustered up to eat the sad reinforcements that keep getting thrown at me.

Best character

Cath gets a level and once again upshows Roy in the sword-user department

On anyone else this would be The Worst Level but Sophia really needs the skill… yeah, it still sucks pretty hard

Sophia can 1v1 this guy pretty easily.

I boss abuse just a tiny bit since I’m grinding for supports anyway to get her to 20. She looks pretty nice, TBH, though I’m not sure how much of that was all the stat-boosters I pumped into her.

I didn’t have these two next to each other, but they apparently got this at some point earlier.

After ending for a bajillion turns, I realized I had Garret holding Lilina and that apparently you still get support points when rescued. -_-

Also, I forgot to cap the seize, but I seized, in case you hadn’t noticed.

Aww

[Icon of Sin]

Chapter 15! I always get this confused with Ephraim’s chapter 13, since they’re both spiral maps in which a general finds a dragon girl.

There's similarities with FE5's Chapter 15 in terms of map layout too.

[Baldrick]

She looks pretty nice, TBH, though I’m not sure how much of that was all the stat-boosters I pumped into her.

Being speed blessed and getting an extra 6 AS from boosters definitely helps. Normally she wouldn't double anything, and everything she doesn't double would double her.

[Irysa]

She still can't hit the blind side of a barn though, even with all that babying haha.

Sophia has the most bizzarely bad growths for an "Est". I remember the one time I trained her she was MASSIVELY def blessed though, like, tankier than anyone who's name isn't Miledy tier. (NM lol).

I'm mega dissapointed in Wendy this run. I forgot about the triangle attack initially but after you were using it to get over the earlygame boss ridiculousness, I was like OH MAN TRIANGLE ATTACK WENDY ALL DAY LETS GO, but I guess Knight movement makes it impossible except on stationary enemies anyway haha.

[Baldrick]

Unfortunately Fa and Igrene are 2good4u.

[Oshimos]

Here’s chapter 16, in which a bunch of things happen.

[spoiler=Chapter 16]

You’d have thought they would have brought up the whole church vs dragons thing earlier than this.

Because he’s totally been competent up until now

Here’s the crew this time. I wanted to bring Merlinus but I had to field Milady to get Zeiss, so he sat out yet again.

Not Retaking, but Storming.

The chapter starts off with Narcian being shut down by Murdock.

Narcian takes things pretty well.

These two are here too, but they run away so that they can be chapter bosses later

This guy doesn’t

*Insert Zephiel r34 of choice here*

The pre-chapter dialogue goes on forever; Elimine was racist against dragons.

Finally it starts! Clarine grabs Roy and runs to the side Hugh likes to attack.

I have no time for this jerk

Oh gee those are some pretty decent stats

Zeiss shows up. He’s just kinda going to sit in the corner on his wyvern for most of the chapter.

Sophia is maybe in my top three best units now

Here’s the right-side gang.

Here’s the real goal of this chapter.

Jerk

I noticed that Wendy was doing existent damage so I checked stats: the fighters in this chapter have 5 def and 2 res. Someone was late when they were handing out the hardmode bonuses.

She crits just to get her point across, and gets yet another strength-less level. At least the Spd is nice.

My army has no time for magic uers

YES YES I SURE DO YES

shutupandtakemymoney.jpg

A unit with most stats in the double digits before promotion. That’s sadly very impressive.

Worth it. That’s all the siege-ers in the chapter.

This was about when I realized that I’d forgotten a door key on the left squad and had no way of getting them through the door. I am the best at this game. Believe it or not, Milady is going the other way because she has chest keys and can therefore get the chests on the right… except I still have no way to open doors, so she can’t.

Hugh’s first fight. Give it time; you’ll be good soon enough.

Barth gets a level with all the stats he doesn’t care about.

Sophia doubled this guy; it was glorious.

The resulting level was pretty sweet, too.

Nighty-night, Doug

I put Hugh on dragon-chipping duty over by the chest room. He got the obligatory HP level that pretty much every one of my units gets as their first level to show his solidarity.

At this point, if doesn’t matter how many Res levels you get, you’re still going to get murderized by every mage left in the game

Welp, there’s those bonus stats I paid for pretty much rendered irrelevant.

Sophia shows off her newfound skill with sticks. She heals a butt-ton more than Clarine ever could, and is around on-par with Mend Saul

Wendy’s trying to show off now that I actually have other units to use

Guess who woke up from his map?

Guess who’s un-waking up from his nap?

I missed his level. He’s struggling to stay relevant as it is, though, so it doesn’t matter all that much.

I know Wendy’s supposed to be bad, but this is bad bad.

Sophia level. She’s tanking the mages up by Zeiss’ corner, since she’s the only one who can do anything even vaguely resembling tanking magic units

That’s more like it. Hugh da best.

notarecruitmentconvo.png

Cath wants those boxes

Tyty

Hugh went to help chip down the wall, but apparently Zeiss attacks things that aren’t walls

Zeiss get

Operation “Douglas get the eff out of Cath’s way” is a go

“Ensnared”

Bought some robes for my squishies.

Hugh has such a boss palette as a Sage. If only he had boss Spd to go with.

Yoink!

Still my OTP

Somebody’s got a complex

…Yeah, this isn’t going anywhere

Get rekt

D… Dorothy-chan…

Wendy was like, 11 exp from level 20, so I had her chuck javelins at Douglas while Cath ran to get her Knight Crest

Also, I forgot to cap the Hero Crest and the Rescue

Won’t be needing these

And… she’s still pretty bad. All of her stats are within 2 of average She’s got the same Def as Bors and the second highest Spd in my army, though. My whole non-sword-using army’s promoted now, though! Hooray!

Time for everyone’s favourite chapter!

I can’t tell if this is him talking about the people in the castle or if it’s the Royal We. I’m hoping it’s the latter.

If we’re only grabbing useful things, I’m pretty sure we’d be leaving Aureola behind

[Troykv]

How many statboosters have you used in your Charas? xD

[Oshimos]

How many statboosters have you used in your Charas? xD

Wendy got a Robe, Wade got a Book, Hugh got two Robes, and Sophia got two robes, a shield, two speedwings, and an icon.She might have gotten something else too, I'm just remembering without actually looking back.

[Nobody]

YEAH! Wendy promoted!

Great!

[CT075]

i'm pretty sure that 20/1 wendy has stats only slightly ebtter than base miledy

[Irysa]

I forgot how ridiculous Wendy's Promo gains are in this game.

[bottlegnomes]

On the up side, Hugh has a 45% speed growth. Hopefully, it'll actually cooperate.

And… she’s still pretty bad. All of her stats are within 2 of average She’s got the same Def as Bors and the second highest Spd in my army, though. My whole non-sword-using army’s promoted now, though! Hooray!

This finally hammered home just how bad Wendy really is.

[Oshimos]

Time for another super fun chapter, 16x. Whoever decided that status staves, siege magic, and random death lasers should all be in the same chapter was a bit too much of a sadist for my liking.

[spoiler=Chapter 16x]

Off to grab the most useless Legendary Weapon of them all

Couldn’t we grab Elimine’s Heal Staff instead? I’ve got two units with E Staves and I’m pretty much out.

Oh hey look, it’s this dude again. I can’t decide whether I liked him better green or not.

I also can’t decide whether I like The Pinnacle of Light or The Glorious Ascension more. I think they’re both about even

Poor Windham, he never gets the respect he deserves.

Fourth armour get

Oh jeez he’s worse than Wendy

I finally remembered to use this. That’s Barth, btdubs.

Sophia’s the best.

Everyone else is too scared to go up the stairs

Hahaha… ha ha

nope.avi

Maybe don’t listen to him, guys

I’m very thankful for Restore

I’m also very thankful for other people’s LPs. There are so many things I’ve learned from reading them that I wouldn’t have ever known otherwise. (Status staves target people with useable staves, in case you’re out of the loop)

I chill on the middle platform for a few turns to wait out the Bolting, since I’ve only got Saul and 5 Heals left Sophia for healers on this map.

These two went opposite directions. The girls are leading the charge.

Sophia Level.

Wendy can use Maltet now. She might even get priority on it due to her existent speed compared to my other lancers.

Purge tanking

Barth got a great contextless level

*Grumble grumble*

Purge bishop KO x2 combo

Hugh gets the speed I’ve been wanting my whole army to get

I’m pretty much just feeding Hugh all the promoted enemies because he’s the last guy left who can both still substantially grow and become a powerhouse.

Snipers don’t really need non-Str stats, anyway.

That Rapier’s actually just a lightning rod

This is the last siege tome

Wolt gets a swell level. He’s still never gonna catch up to Dorothy.

More Mag too please

Wade softens him up…

Triangle attack! Plus another strengthless level.

This has happened far too many times

That wasn’t actually too bad. I remembered a lot of these chapters being a lot harder when I was playing through on normal mode.

Thanks, generic blue soldier. Put it in the convoy with the rest of our junk.

I’m pretty sure that my army’s inability to use Light Magic opposes us using it a lot more than any dissenters ever could. Hell, FE6 in general kinda opposes people using it.

Oh hey, that’s important or something.

Whee

Sorry for another short gaiden chapter, they're really all more about the gimmicks than anything else.

Also, I'm putting up a new poll well in advance of it being relevant because I got bored of the irrelevant boots poll.

[MeteoSage]

I suppose the good thing about having Karel will be having a decent Durandal user.

This LP is inspiring, and I might try it sometime in the near future.

[intergalacticoh]

Karel will kill the spirit of Crappy Units Bonanza by being a Decent Unit.

[bottlegnomes]

I say go for it, mostly because I like Karel, and he's not exactly an amazing endgame unit anyway.

[ZemZem]

Karel's not that good of a unit at all lol

And besides, FE6's endgame is really easy already.

[eclipse]

Karel's not that good of a unit at all lol

And besides, FE6's endgame is really easy already.

Compared to the rest of this LP's army? Karel is a minor deity.
