Interesting freebie (and draftable) list!

I think in the last draft we decided the dancers were too strong. But if you keep draftable Celice it might be crazy enough to work?

Yeah, I considered having Sylvia free for all to use but I'm not sure how that'd work. I left Deidre up for drafting on purpose because I honestly don't see why she shouldn't be and I think it'd make things a bit more interesting. I guess "crazy enough to work" is a pretty good way to describe it.

What do people think about Cuan being free to use in the Prologue? I mainly decided to do that because the boss on Evans Castle would take ages to beat with neither Cuan nor Sigurd.

Nooooo prayer sword glitch is banned :(

Hmm I'm not sure that having Cuan be free in just the prologue will be enough, some bosses in chapter 1 will still be a massive pain without him (I remember having Azel trek all the way over to kill Gandolf.) Then again, if you make him free in Chapter 1 as well, it'll hurt the person who chooses him a lot. It's really hard to balance Sigurdless early game. Also draft-able Celice is insane, but it might be the best way to compensate for not having a dancer in gen 2.

Eh, screw it. I've never done a draft before, but from what I've seen, it looks like lots of fun and I never have enough FE4. I'm sure I'll make a fool out of myself, but if you'll have me; I'll give it a try.

I think draftable Celice is OK when a.) not everybody gets a dancer and b.) Sigurd will finish gen 1 at base level.

Gandolf isn't as big a problem as Gerrard is imo. There's a church near his castle and you can kinda take your time beating him because you can send units ahead into the spirit forest where things will inevitably slow down.

OK since we have 4 players right now we're gonna start.

There were 4 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

  1. Zasplach
  2. Marty
  3. Baldrick
  4. Yojinbo

1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 4 -> 3 -> 2 -> 1 -> repeat

How do you expect every team to beat Alvis? I'm tempted to join in the 5th slot to make everyone's teams worse

draftable Celice via deirdre is actually kind of cool, but I think it's really strong. Here's an easier to read unit list if you want to use it too.

Azel

Lex

Cuan

[Ethlin, Leaf, Altenna]

Fin

Midir

Dew

[Aideen, Lana, Lester]

[Aira, Lakche, Skasaha]

[Deidre, Celice, Julia]

Jamka

Holyn

[Lachesis, Delmud, Nanna]

Beowulf

Levin

[sylvia, Leen, Corple]

[Fury, Fee, Sety]

[Tiltyu, Arthur, Tinny]

Claude

[briggid, Patty, Faval]

Mana

Oifaye

Tristan

Dimna

Femina

Amid

Johan

Johalva

Shanan

Daisy

Janne

Aless

Laylea

Linda

Hawk

Sharlow

Alvis is gonna be hard for everybody but I think it's possible to beat him if you have either Celice, Aless, Shanan or Faval. Holyn!Swordtwins might be able to do it too with the Balmung. You can also put him to sleep or something.

Draftable Celice is strong but I don't think it's a problem. He'll only have base level Sigurd as his father and picking Deidre means that you're denying yourself a better gen 1 unit so it's kind of a double-edged sword. If we assume that the two dancers and deidre were picked by the first 3 players in round 1 the 4th player [in this case me] could still pick Lachesis and Ethlin for mounted Rescue in both generations. I think it'll be fine in the end.

Edit: And since the draft hasn't actually started yet I could still add you if you like.

Faval and Shanan are both liable to getting oneshotted, which is kind of annoying, and Faval can't dodge worth shit. Obviously the solution is CLAUDE!FAVAL.

You'd have to land a hit with the sleep sword on him to actually sleep him too, which is uh, not very likely too. But I guess it is possible for everyone. Add me in if you want, it's up to you.

Hmmm, I guess I'll keep it at 4 players for now. Afaik it's the first draft for Zasplach and myself and only the second one for Marty. Having to split up the units might be a bit too extreme.
