UnexaIted Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 So, I've been playing FE:A for a long time. I completed a file on Normal, then Hard. After that, I gave a shot at Lunatic, which was actually really tough. I don't think It's even possible to beat without the DLC XD. Still, I beat it too and decided I wanted my final file with my final pairings and characters to be a Lunatic + File. If you happened to read the title... IT'S TERRIFYING How would this even be possible on classic... I actually did manage to get to chapter 5 though and now have access to the DLC, thus making it not as scary. Still, getting there was surprisingly tough (and quite honestly, mostly luck thanks to the randomly generated god abilities on the enemies :'D) Like.... If the prologue mages have Vantage, just give up. If the Chapter 1 Hammer guy has guaranteed Hit, just give up. It's like... not possible at that point. And the darn Counters/Aegis+/Pavise+ that are showing up on literally everything now make it hard to win :'D Has anyone else given it a shot? How did their experience go? I'm looking forward to seeing if I can beat the whole thing (I don't think it'll be TOO bad now that I can infinitely grind XD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah25648 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Luna+ and Counter are biggest foes for me. It would've been more fun without Counter on every units... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnexaIted Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Yaaa.... Counter is annoying. Even my Dread Fighter main guy STILL managed to kill himself XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comet Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 for no-grind, you just have to be really careful with everything and be very patient. if the rng doesn't like you, then you shall not pass. robin is your best friend, but it's also important to feed kills to other units because robin alone just can't do it. interceptor's guide would give you more insight than i can because my run of this has been on a hiatus at chapter 7 for a few months now...

UnexaIted Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 I don't think I'll ever have the potential to do no grind XD Just getting to chapter 5 was ridiculous enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruity Insanity Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I dunno, man. I like playing my good ol' Classic. Speaking of which, I need to start a Classic Lunatic+ no grind run... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar_Yoshi Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Hammertime? Of course he'll OHKO Fred. It's why he's there- to tell you that it might be a bad idea to rely on him. Basically, Fred can carry you a little way, but around Cht.8 becomes completely useless and will force a reset if he's your only good unit. Hammertime is there to give you an advance warning and basically make you change your strategy earlier rather than face a reset- he's actually a really nice guy, so please don't say bad things about him. Anyway, Nogrind is perfectly possible for both Lunatic and Lunatic+ on Classic, but it requires more strategy than the "drop something into a pile of enemies and watch it kill them all" that worked for Normal/Hard.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I've stopped my lunatic + classic file after completing chapter 4. I had to restart 70 times in total (guessed). Now, I've enough of this! It's a stupid idea with all the lunatic + skills (especially luna +) and it doesn't make fun at all. I'm going for other challenges...

Czar_Yoshi Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 It's a stupid idea with all the lunatic + skills No it isn't. It's just not for everyone. The skills in Lunatic+ are actually very well designed and follow a clear pattern if you look for it (all of them either always activate or never activate depending on how you fight the enemy in question, so there's no RNG with them after you've entered battle- no Miracle, no Breakers, none of that stuff. Dealing with them is completely strategy-based). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnexaIted Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 I'm sure it's very possible to complete no grind luna + on classic, but I'd be that guy who makes all mistakes or gets screwed by RNGesus on my level ups, so I wouldn't be able to win XD Plus, after my original classic run on Luna, I've taken a liking to casual. Just a little less stress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflolxp54 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 For me, I went on Lunatic+ Classic just to have fun trying to legally break the game as hard as possible once DLC becomes available to use after Chapter 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a strangely large amount of trouble with Chapter 7. Supposedly Chapter 6 is the last hard map, but in my experience 7 is much worse. Took me a long time on my first (failed) run, and it's got me stuck again on my second try. Hammertime? Of course he'll OHKO Fred. It's why he's there- to tell you that it might be a bad idea to rely on him.

First the Hierarch is actually a good guy, and now the Hammer mook of all enemies? Next you're going to tell me Aversa was just trying to help out her little bro/sis all along.

Sentacotus Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yeah I'm not too fond of the Luna + mode myself. Even if you don't grind you just end up resetting the game a bunch of times at the unit placement screen until the most of enemies have skills that are managable (i.e less counter, luna+, etc). Even then it takes alot of luck. Plus I like to play on classic so yeah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Dragon Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 What is your asset and flaw? I'm still regretting having a +Def/-Skill Avatar... I feel like it limits my class choices since my asset and flaw don't exact scream assassin or classes like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it limits my class choices since my asset and flaw don't exact scream assassin or classes like it. When I tried it I made it +Speed/-Luck. I figured it might help to not get doubled by almost every unit early in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next you're going to tell me Aversa was just trying to help out her little bro/sis all along. In a story with Black & White Morality where the designated heroes do clearly bad things that would have been called out by any other author, who the good guys are is purely up in the air. Since Awakening has some gameplay to go along with its story, I'm going to make a case for anyone who helps you win being a good guy (and have a little fun with the definition of "help" while I'm at it). I usually only do that for stuff everyone complains about though, and Aversa is a pretty wimpy boss so she's not likely to get the treatment anytime soon. When I tried it I made it +Speed/-Luck. I figured it might help to not get doubled by almost every unit early in the game. +Spd with some nice levels and a Chrom support can be doubling stuff itself as early as Cht.1, actually. The only units who are really in danger of being doubled are Lissa, Stahl, Virion, Kellam, -Spd Avatar and anyone who goes without training for too long- and if you can pack a Lance, most of the faster swordguys have their attack so crippled that they rarely KO you anyway (-3x2 is a huge deal earlygame).

Aversa was just the best example I could think of for someone who makes herself a pain in the ass in story but is actually pretty helpful from a gameplay perspective (besides denying the player a third Peg Knight...). I needed an example to make a sarcastic "Next you're going to tell me" statement work. I like how you describe Awakening as having "some gameplay to go along with its story." Sort of like saying a T Rex has a decent jaw to go along with its arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnexaIted Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 I actually went with +HP/-Strength, and my avatar would always do pretty well. He actually never died when I played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
