Yojinbo Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) FE4 LTC kind of seems to be the flavor of the month right now and since I took part in a little conversation about it in a different thread I started to look into the subject a bit more myself. The key item of a LTC run of course is the Rescue staff so I thought about good ways to pass it down into the 2nd generation to make full use of it. One thing I stumbled across is a Lachesis x Claude pairing that gives Nanna minor Blaggi and allows her to directly inherit the Rescue Staff from her mother. Given the position she starts off in Ch.7 I've started to wonder if it's possible for her to rescue units over the yellow swordfighters that block off the choke points betweel Melgen and Alster. Has anybody tried it out before? Is it possible to rescue Celice over the yellow units and seize Alster without conquering Darna and Melgen first? If it is possible, what happens when you do it? Will Aless and Leen/Laylea be skipped alongside the two castles? Edited March 3, 2015 by Yojinbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Does it even allow her to inherit the staff? According to the site, the Rescue Staff requires a A-Rank. With minor Blaggi, Nanna would only have a B-Rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yojinbo Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 That's weird. I thought minor blood will always give a unit A-Rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Nah, minor blood simply pumps C to B or B to A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yojinbo Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 Uhm OK, so who besides Sety and Corple can actually inherit the Rescue Staff then? What about Claude!Lana? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Horace Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Just Corple, Claude!Sety, and Claude!Lana. Claude!Tinny can use it once she promotes too, but can't inherit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Claude Lana is your only way of getting Rescue super early. I suppose if you wanted to you could do Azel Lana and then Claude Fury and Sety could inherit the Rescue staff in Chapter 8, but Claude Lana is the quickest way of getting it.

Yojinbo Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 The point isn't to get the Rescue Staff early but specifically have Nanna inherit it so she can use it in Ch.7 to skip over the yellow units between Melgen and Alster. But since Nanna can't actually inherit the Rescue Staff to begin with this thread is done for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Well the forts near Alster would prevent you from passing and attacking the castle anyway. You can fly Fee down to Lenster if you need help or something though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyTheDemonSlayer Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm not sure it would be worth it even if Nanna could inherit the Rescue staff... You would clear Chapter 7 really quickly, but Layla/Leen are so useful in LTC that it probably wouldn't save turns in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Actually, Rescue!Leaf has the potential to save a lot of turns. If Nanna could do it from the get go, you've got like an extra two chapters of rescue to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Rescue!Leif is seriously legit and probably in large the best turn saver in FE4 outside of Sigurd just being a boss in Gen 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momogeek2141 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 The problem lies in the fact that if you are to make Claud!Nanna, you would have to hold back Lachesis from doing her rescue crap in ch 4 so she can stick with Claud. Unless she wants to waste charges on him. This would waste many turns, although rescue in ch 8 would be pretty OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yojinbo Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah I wasn't actually considering Claude x Lachesis as an option for LTC purposes. I just happened to stumble accross it when I thought about passing down the rescue staff and falsely assumed that Nanna can inherit it. I'm aware that pairing up Claude with Lachesis and skipping Leen/Laylea would cost way too many turns to be viable. I just wanted to know if it allows you to skip the two castles in Ch.7. But it doesn't matter because Nanna cannot inherit the Rescue Staff in the first place. I also forgot that Alster can't be approached before you seize Darna so even if Nanna could use Rescue, it wouldn't allow you to skip anything.

Refa Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Alster can be approached after you seize Melgen, I'm pretty sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
