[spoiler=Chapter 14 part 1]



Next task: Crossing Alexia's territory



This soldier runs towards Anakin and Kelik


He told them that Magnus invaded in Alexia's territory. Kelik doesn't beleive him and thinks that he's only spying out. Anakin tries to calm Kelik down.


Neither he joins us...


... nor he's a partner unit or NPC.





Altheres located the next opponents.

Kelik is very satisfied with Althares' work so far and will trust him further without any question.


Battle preparations

You can bring all your units to this chapter. There's no inventory. Anankin uses the energy ring and Karina the boots.


Map


Chapter 14 is a seize mission. It features quite a lot, but not very powerful enemies. They have generic weapons


except for this cavalier with the horseslayer.

There are also a couple of long bow archers and a crossbow archer.


Boss is a peg. knight with decent HP and speed, but nothing else. Make sure to steal her the delphi shield, which negates effective damage.
Otherwise there's nothing special stealable except for vulneraries and elixirs.


Before you start the chapter you get money. [spoiler=There are a shop and an armory in this chapter]which I totally forgot to visit.

Turn 1
Player phase









Clean all the shit close to me without much effort.


Enemy phase
Forgot to turn on the battle animations.







Kevin misses once.




Turn 2
Player phase

Karina has so much defense that she would get almost no damage by the archers anyway.










[spoiler=Easy going so far.]And it won't change at all.

Enemy phase



This fighter gets healed by the troubadour.


The archers don't even go for Karina.


Turn 3
Player phase

I take the speed.


meh


[spoiler=Besides Shon the worst unit in the game so far.]Why was I so stupid and deleted my savefile from the "yes-chapter"?

alright - speed is almost capped anyway






Enemy phase

So, he isn't dead yet!


Howard gets an order from the highest instance.

Suddenly Howard questions the Magnian intentions.[spoiler=Who's the young girl?]You know her already and you'll see her later.

Turn 4
First reinforcments - a couple of cavaliers
Player phase

He doesn't disappoint so far.

Asch will block them.

In the village:

This healer will be an ally later most likely. For now he gives me a shine tome. Anakin can't use it, like he can't use radiance.


Enemy phase




Turn 5

More reinforcements
Player phase



Mr. "Hero-Jagen" misses.




Had to rescue Itsuke, so Kelik could kill another one.


Also dropped him in the same turn.


Enemy phase

Therefore he hits with the 50s very well.

Edited August 15, 2015 by Mister IceTeaPeach

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 14 part 2]
Turn 6
Player phase



Kevin misses again, so Itsuke gets the kill. Consequence: Another pathetic level up


Announcement of more reinforcements


What does Cia do here? And why the hell does she work for Magnus now?


Then go away! She appears as ambush! Hopefully she doesn't attack, because she can double some of my units.




The knights in front of the boss move (surprisingly).

Thankfully Cia doesn't attack.


Turn 7

Here she is! She also has transferred stats from part 1, which makes her very dangerous. She's placed on a fort. Since she didn't attack me in the previous turn, I hope she won't attack me at all unless an unit is in her 1-2 attack range.

Player phase





YESZ! Besides Kelik the unit with the best level ups of my party.




Must attack from the range.


Next turn I'll finish this chapter. Kelik can't talk to Cia. Idk if Anakin can, because he can't reach her yet.


Enemy phase

??? He wants her to join my party!?


nope


Turn 8

Lots of NPCs appear...


... and so Tamiko does.


About 8 NPCs appear. They consist of level 1 knights and cavaliers.


and this peg. knight and archer, who have a portrait. And that's, what worries me! I think they're recruitable.
[spoiler=I'm highly sure that you can get them, if Kelik or Anakin talks to them.] Though I didn't, because I'm was able to finish this chapter in this turn! I noticed in the battle preparations for the next chapter an empty space for an unit. That means that I missed an unit all the way! Tbh Idc for them unless they're necessary for a further recruitment.

for Karina


a crit would be funny


By far less than I expected.


bleh

Anakin and Kelik notice no reinforcements in the castle. They're discussing, what they're going to do next:


Which help?


[spoiler=No, the two units with a portrait don't join.]Maybe they appear in the begin of the next chapter. Was I punished again by playing too fast?

Edited August 15, 2015 by Mister IceTeaPeach

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 15 part 1]



Next target: Perry's castle

He's going to plan sth. nice for Anakin.


They know each other.


Pellemore: Sure, so then I can kill you all.


At least Kelik isn't so naive.


Welcome to hell!


A hearty welcome!


"DH-Ninja-guy" is back and saves the day!


Nothing to add!


He's talking to himself.


tsk

Battle preparations

A fortune-teller appears from nowhere.


Rank

Only three stars in tactics?!

Fortune teller

recruitable healer


powerful boss

"Any" cavaliers. That automatically means that I should have more than one.


[spoiler=It doesn't matter, if they can't do any damage]which will be the case in this chapter.

[spoiler=Kelik and Althares can talk to "DH-Ninja"]but I ignored that hint, because I went for low turns once again. If they get a weapon or item, I'm going to reset it.

I still don't know it.

[spoiler=Karina gets the delphi shield.]Not that she really needs it.

I have an empty space for one unit. That means I definitely missed a recruitment; most likely the two NPCs from the previous chapter.


A more badass looking myrmidon than Logan.


The new healer


Map


Chapter 15 is a rout mission. You fight lots of cavaliers and soldiers. Some of them have new weapons:


A lance with very low might and accuracy, but extreme high crit. Still shit though!


Droppable zanbato


like an iron long bow with a crit boost


another killing weapon

If you expect that the enemies have higher levels and stats, you'll get bitterly disappointed! Quite the opposite: The enemies have lower stats than in the previous chapters (again). Myrmidons with 17 HP and cavaliers with HP in the low 20s. Most enemies will get ORKOed or even oneshotted! The only exception is the boss:


He has very balanced stats in double figures and a (droppable) silver lance. He can kill everyone with two hits except for Asch.


Tekun

Tekun is a level 6 myrmidon with the obligatory killing edge. Better strength than Logan probably, but his base speed is only as high as Logan's was as level 1.


Turn 1

Player phase

The proof for the difficulty in this chapter :C


I can't even see the supercrit weapon in action.




yawn


His first real useful level up.


In the next turn I can decoy the boss already.


Enemy phase



right recipient


Asch is actually the unit, who misses the most.




Turn 2
Player phase



Karina is in the attack range of the boss.








meh


Emma has to find someone.


Emma is a level 10 "troubadur", who I'd prefer to call a great knight cleric. 6 magic, 2 luck and 10 defense - WTF?!

illuminate = torch stave
celestial ring = guiding ring


Enemy phase

Only dealt 6 damage, but got 16 damage. The first real tough boss!


God damn it!








Wow! One enemy survived somehow.


My new wall! The crit chance is still a little bit scary.


Turn 3
Player phase



Don't worry! The bench is waiting for you!


speed maxed

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 15 part 2]
I've replayed the chapter to show you, what Althares and Kelik get, after they've talked to Tekun. I'll show you this and the updated levels at the end of this part.
The following images are from my first run:

Kelik has a special conversation with the boss. Same goes for Anakin probably.


He dodges - nice.


Trust the 82%


better level up than the last one - boss already defeated in Turn 3.






Enemy phase



misses once


Turn 4
Cavalier reinforcements appear, but they don't bother me at all.
Player phase





No more reinforcements from this fort.


Still slow, but speed doesn't seem to be important in this hack (applies to pretty much each stat).






Visiting the house west of the village, where Emma was in:

Why do I get this info on a spot I should get her already. I mean this house is further away from my starting place than the village. Pointless!


Visiting the nothern village:

iron blade - Kelik can keep it


Enemy phase

This knight blocks the other fort. That means no more reinforcements.


Turn 5
Player phase

The stat she needs the most.




SEXY!!!


Perry is a complete dfferent sprite now. Anakin is looking for an answer for the change of identity and behavior...


... but he won't get one.






Sth. is wrong with him.


He becomes MAD!


Kelik has enough!


Anakin is still blind.


The ultimate threat


Anakin told him, what happened and the reason, why he died. Daren can understand it!




Will the son cause me trouble too later?


If Tekun talks to Kelik, he'll get

secret #1. I have no idea, what that is. Kelik can't use it anyway.

Althares gets a member card from Tuken.


Updated stats
One level less, but it was better than the onestatter.
Got magic instead of HP. Result will be still the same: Bench
No level up thankfully.
by far worse
only HP and strength
Got another one, because he killed the boss. Both were pretty good.

[TheMoniker]

The secrets are all mostly really obscure and arbitrary. Their effect is to remove an arbitrary gate later that will be hard to remove otherwise. Honestly? You're best off looking them up, blind LP or no, if you want to complete the, ah... bonus areas.

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 16 part 1]



Next task: Conquering Yulia's castle (again) and rescuing Siegfried.


Two new people want to help me.


Kelik has a task to fulfill for the fallen female shaman boss from part 1.


The big reunion comes closer!




Emma found his brother.

They tell them each other, why they met here:

Emma joined the rebellion to fight the Magnolians.


Ben has an own mission. He hasn't told her yet. Though he's going to support her.


Battle preparations
I accidently forgot to check out the rank the fortune teller. Ace, Asch and Kevin are left home.


Ben

Ben is another level 10 dracoknight. He's Emma's brother. His strength, skill, speed and defense base are similar as Karina's. Noticeable is his very high resistance of 10. Therefore his luck is very low. He has two default supports with characters, I haven't got yet. Since I trained Karina already, there's no more free slot in my team for another dracoknight. Sorry Ben!


Map


Chapter 16 is another seize mission. It represents a part from the final map of Siegfried's / Shon's story. It takes place more in the east. The shop, armory and village don't exist. The enemies consist mainly of mercenaries, fighters, archers and mages.



The enemies have much better stats! This mage can TRKO almost everyone.


The boss is a general with decent all around stats and a brave lance. You saw him already in the chapter against the pegasus knight boss. [spoiler=Actually Asch would be pretty useful against him because of weapon triangle advantage.]It doesn't matter, because you'll get a weapon later, which makes this boss very easy.

There's nothing stealable in this chapter.


Turn 1
Player phase



The enemies are more powerful, but still easy to kill with my high leveled units. And a good level up for my thief.




Change Karina's weapon to a javelin to counterattack the mage.


A dracoknight, who gets as much magical damage as a mage?! Strange!


Enemy phase

Almighty 2%


GG!!!


0 damage by mercenaries, 0 hitrate by hand axes and tons of crits! A thief, I'm in love with!




Turn 2
Player phase

Archers can't get ORKOed anymore - Good!




All the stats he needs!


brave magic - dangerous!


Kelik shall counterattack him with the flame sword.


another crit


Enemy phase

Thanks delphi shield!


R.I.P. flame sword


Turn 3
Player phase



YES!


Placed Kelik and Althares on the fort to get the def and avoid boosts and block reinforcements.


Enemy phase



no chance




Turn 4
Player phase

more crits


:( no strength or defense

Karina visits the house. Don't do it, because an old lady send you off! Most of the houses in this hack are only traps!




Enemy phase



crit


Turn 5

Shuuda and Inanna join!



[spoiler=Innana and Shuuda have transferred stats, but new equipment.]What did happen to the elysian whip from part 1?]Shuuda's lancereaver will be the ticket to the boss.

Player phase
No reinforcements and no enemies in my attack range. Just must decoy them.


Enemy phase



Althares in "crit-mode".


Turn 6

First reinforcements: couple of reinforcements with not too great stats

Player phase



Ben's first kill


More crappy lord levels up. BTW I skipped Kelik's HP-sauce.


Karina and Tekun are placed on the fort to block the cavalier reinforcements.

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 16 part 2]
Turn 7
No (more) reinforcements
Player phase
I'm going to kill the last remaining enemies before the boss.



better
Statwise Ben could outclass her in strength and defense. If his speed growth is >=40%, I tend to give him a chance. He could work as a wall not only against physical units, but also against magic users.




The way to the boss is cleared. All the forts will be blocked.


Probably her only one level up, because I tend to kick her out. One stave user is enough for my team... and I only have one promotion item yet.
Emma + Ben: They come together and are benched together

Nothing happens in enemy phase.


Turn 8

Corben appears, when it's already too late.


He was kinda amazing in the earlygame, just because the enemies sucked in part 1. Statwise he's a disappointment compared to Eduardo, who's almost 10 levels below him. His speed, luck and resistance are decent, but Eduardo outclasses / will outclass him in all the other stats. His HP and strength already better than Corben's.
=> Corben is benched!

Actually I don't want to use Inanna either, because her speed is terrible so far for her class.
Idk about Shuuda tbh, because I've some sword users already. Kelik, Althares and Tekun are firm!


The boss if pretty much f**ked!


Enemy phase

A knight was attracted. Meh level up.





Turn 9
Player phase

Adios!
The boss doesn't have a special conversation with Anakin and Kelik.


I take the strength, but his level ups in this chapter were all in all disillusioning!


At least she had a very good chapter. Only two levels to go till her promotion.


There he goes... as well...


Meanwhile in



Panic button!


The "dirtiest" people must care about the situation.


These guys are in serious business!


Your own fault!?





OH GOD! NO, JUST NOOOOO!!!


Why couldn't he die instead of Siegfried (if he's really going to die in the castle)? I don't want to have this shitlord anymore!


At least Levion is back too!

Kelik tells Shon about his connection to Levion and that he works as a mercenary for him.


HAHAHA!!!


Do you really think that the two worst lords can invade the castle?
Anakin agrees with it after a while.


Probably a bad idea!?


Although he doesn't know this man, he's going to challenge him...


... and loses of course against Fenix!


... please not!


Anakin becomes finally useful, even if it's only for first aid!


Though he's not smarter than Kelik...


Sort of true


This hack consists of only dumb main characters.


Suddenly

Fenix hears a voice, which keeps from his attention to kill both.


Thank Godness!

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 17 part 1]



Finally a supply finally


Kelik's wounds are recovered.


Freeing Siegfried from the cell.


A traitor inside the Magnians!?




He really isn't a foe!


He'll join, when I enter the throne room.


Battle preparations

Now I've a supply. Liuke works like Merlinus in FE7. You can send excess items and weapons to the tent and get them at any time. If he survives a chapter, he'll get better stats in the next chapter.
The sad thing: All the items and weapons from part one are gone including the elysian whip. It really pisses me off! What's the point of it? Promoting a mediocre unit at level 10 to have a shitty "semi-Jagen"?
At least all the weapons and items I get from now on won't get lost anymore.

Rank

Still only 3 stars in tactics :c

Augury

Bringing Althares to get the chests.


Will explain it in the map overview.


Like he said: If someone has reached the throne room, he joins. Means no real boss so far.


Formation
I leave Innana, Ace and Ben home.


Map



In chapter 17 your group is divided into two groups. Shon and Kelik are fixed and start in an isolated area. Their task is to free Siegfired from his cell. While all the others have to fight their way to the throne room, open all the treasures and seize the throne. Only Anakin can seize.
Most of the enemies have generic weapons. One soldier close to the "boss" has a horseslayer and one shaman has nosferatu, but these are pretty much the worst enemies in this chapter. The are two stationary generals close to your starting point though. Statwise the enemies are worse than in ch.16, but slightly better than in ch. 15.

Lyam is a level 5 ranger with nice equipment, a hero crest and meh stats. I prefer Haas more. BTW where are Haas and my nomad?
[spoiler=Like he said he'll join, if you enter the throne room.]And he keeps his promise! That means no boss in this chapter.

Shon

This is shitty Shon. Look at his stats! He's an absolute walking target with a low attack power. At least his iron and piercing sword (personal weapon) are completly repaired. I try to give him as much exp. as I can. Though I think it'll be a tricky task since mages can attack through the wall. Kelik shall try to weak the enemies.


A new ally: Mark, who wants to take revenge on the Magnians for burning down his home.


Mark

Mark is a pirate and the very first first tier axe user in the entire hack. His stats are nothing special for his level, but axe users are welcome, because I only have Asch so far. Cant say yet, if I'm going to use him. He also has a default support with a character I don't know yet.


Turn 1
Player phase

My plan of weaking the enemies with Kelik already fails...


His best level up so far!


This knights are staionary so I don't have to worry about Itsuke.


Enemy phase

Sth. left for Shon.






The enemies hit very well with their shitty hitrates.


You can't double a monk :c


Turn 2
Player phase



My Corben-replacement! Look at his HP and strength and compare it with Corben's!


Mark will be quite useful against the soldiers.




second general down


Hehehe... please tell me it's only a horrible nightmare x_x
Serious question: Is he obligatory for the rest of this hack?


Enemy phase

another victim for "shitty-Shon"



Turn 3
Player phase



promtion item for Kevin or Eduardo


Seriously never ever have played a FE game / hack with such terrible level ups like in this one. It demotivates me to play this quite a lot tbh.




Kelik must kill him, because otherwise Shon would be in the attack range of the mage. If he and the fighter hits him => Adios!


Enemy phase



Turn 4
Player phase

Althares could reach level 20 in this chapter.


TOTALLY EXPECTABLE!!!


Magic and I'd be satisfied.






This was very risky, because the mage could TRKO him. Though 69 ftw


Enemy phase

These mercenaries are still shit,




Turn 5
Player phase



Currently I'm focussing only on very few units atm (Karina, Itsuke, Althares, Asch), because the others are left behind.


Now he becomes sucky as well. His four level ups were all mediocre at best!
Shon won't get more kills and level ups in this chapter. This was the last remaining enemy on the way to Siegfried. With the door key I can open the door.


Enemy phase



Turn 6
First reinforcements: A couple of fighters appear from the top right of this map
Player phase



Shon must wait on the tile with the arrow.


The big reunion of father and Shon.

Shon told his father that he was useless all alone and only could free him thanks to Kelik and his mercenaries.


Siegfried gets the nothung again, the effective weapon against magic users.




These are the reinforcements.

Edited August 24, 2015 by Mister IceTeaPeach

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 17 part 2]
Turn 7
More fighter reinforcements - no big deal

and a mage

Player phase

Eduardo needs more exp.




Placing Itsuke there is a little bit dangerous, because this knight has a javelin and the two fighter reinforcements have hand axes. One of them can reach him. I expect the knight to attack Eduardo, who can't counterattack and even has a less defense than Itsuke.




These knights don't move.


Mark can talk to Shuuda:

They were neighbors and Mark rescued Shuuda. Mark has problems to spell Shuuda's name correclty though...


Enemy phase





I miscalculated the A.I. in this situation. The knight went for Itsuke with the knowledge that the fighter had the chance to kill him. [spoiler=Almost lost unit becase of that.]I wouldn't have restarted for him!

Mixed the nothung with the ramvirus. Thought it was a 1-2 sword.


Turn 8
Player phase

GG


Someone told me that his level ups shall be so sick. Haven't seen them yet! No strength so far.


Itsuke is probably MVP in this chapter.


Tekun can finally do sth.!




Strength and speed are taken. He still can't use steel swords.


good


Enemy phase

Ouch! He needs more defense! His HP of almost 40 is faster down to 0 than you might think!



The hand axes fighters can't do shit to my units.


Turn 9
Player phase

So many tears in each chapter.


Karina has entered the throne room. The test, if Lyam told the truth and will join my party.


Yes, he becomes a NPC at least. Anakin can recruit him most likely. There's a soldier with a horseslayer in his attack range, but he'll survive the enemy phase all the way.


Only one level to go. Even if her stats are crappy, she'll get promoted.


Yes! The unit with the best level ups in this hack so far besides Siegfried.




another guiding ring - for Itsuke


Enemy phase

invisible




NPC phase

Hold a moment! Why does he get 5 damage from the same mage, who did 0 damage to him in enemy phase? Throne boost only gives you +2 in defense and he doesn't use a weapon, which gives him a res. boost.
(He doesnt attack the mage, who attacked Karina)


Turn 10
Player phase

Apparently if Lyam has become a NPC, a soldier reinforcement appears here.


effective weapons against armors


Anakin can reach Lyam in the next turn.


Enemy phase

Dear God...
(I've calculated the damage.)


Turn 11
Player phase

Yeah a second kill


He worked undercover.


Good boy!
[spoiler=Even if I'm not going to use him]except maybe for Ivan's recruitment

I want to get the hero crest.


I spent a couple of turns on this chapter just to bring Tamiko to level 20 and to promote her into a bishop:


She even has higher light level than Anakin, who's still stuck at E.
It's my fault, because I mainly use him as a dancer instead of combat.


A heartly reunion.
This scene has voiceacting!
I just even noticed, whenever Anakin motivates (= dance) someone, he says You can do it. Kinda funny!
I must admit that I turn off the volume while playing this hack, because I don't like the map themes at all. Annoys me after a few minutes.


He's still a little weak child.




Then in



Now he thanks to the right persons!

The next plan:

Wohoo! A ship chapter will come - love them! Though I've bad memories on the one in Dream of Five.

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 17x]



The deal: If Kelik can beat him, he'll get a ship.

Map


This chapter features only nine enemies (only sword and axe users) and you also can only bring three units to this map:

Anakin is forced. I choose Kelik, because he's fast and powerful and Tekun because of the weapon triangle advantage against the pirates and fighters. Furthermore he's a little bit left behind regarding on his level.


The enemies will only move, if someone is in their attack range.



The boss is a myrmidon with really good strength and speed, but a crappy sword. The onigiri has a very low might and a shitty hitrate, but it negates the defense and resistance of the opponent. => strength + weapon might = damage He deals 18 damage to everyone!
I don't know, what the demon part of the description means. Possibly a devil effect, if it hits?


The pirates won't go after the villages.

The enemies in this chapter are stronger than in the regular story chapter. They're all about level 10 with really decent stats. Tuken and Anakin can't survive two hits.


Turn 1
Player phase

Here the proof! Unfortunately Tekun doesn't crit.


Thankfully Kelik can use silver weapons now so he has no problem with the pirates.


Anakin can ORKO him too in enemy phase.


Enemy phase

Tekun can't even take two hits by steel swords. Thankfully the 30% misses.


good dodge and an awesome level up


Turn 2
Player phase

[spoiler=Tekun uses a vulnerary and is placed on the thicket so that the pirates shouldn't hit him anymore]with an emphasis on should.

CONGRATS FOR GETTING KILLED WITH 10%! claps:newyears:

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Attempt #2

I place Kelik in front of Tekun so that the mercenary only can attack Kelik. Tekun will get attacked by only one enemy.

Move Anakin to the same spot (thicket) like in attempt #1.

Kelik steals this kill - unavoidable


He hits again - f**ker

Tekun gets money and Kelik has to deal with this mercenary.


Enemy phase

At least the levels are good in this chapter!


Turn 5
Player phase

Kelik gets a door key for opening this gate.


Enemy phase



Turn 7
Player phase

Nothing special in the shop. Buy a fire, radiance and heal. Anakin has reached level D and can use radiance now.


eh...

I leave the turn count out from now on, because I use the following turns to buy in the armory and to visit the two reamining houses. It takes me a lot of turns.


Also no special weapons. Buy an iron lance, javelin, iron sword and a couple of hand axes.


In this house you get the oneshot bow. It only has one use. It kills almost everyone, if it hits. The accuracy is 20! Similar to the FE6 eclipse. Mega powerful, but almost no chance to hit.

In the house in the south-west I got nothing. Maybe the wrong person visited it (obviously Anakin would get sth.).

C-support Kelik x Tekun

Kelik: Tekun, your blade is intimatding as ever.

Tekun: Did you need sth., Kelik?

Kelik: Do I have to need sth. to talk to you?

Tekun: We're in a battle right now Kelik. It's not so much that you're being nonchalant. Focus a little, will you?

Kelik: I don't think I have much to worry about with you so close to me.

Tekun: ...

Kelik: Everyone around you might have died in the past, but I sure as hell haven't.

Tekun: I'll keep that in mind Kelik. But do not let your guard down. Not even for a minute.

Kelik: Hahaha, I'm fine, and you knoow I never let my guard down. Thankfully you're my ally now, but there's no guarantee it'll stay that way. Don't give me that stare. We may be comrades and friends, but you know you don't trust me, either. We don't trust anyone. Hell, it's why we get along the waywe do.


Enemy phase



Player phase

Thanks Anakin's motivation I can place Tekun in the attack range of the boss.


Enemy phase

His sword can't hit for shit.


Player phase

Boss conversation Kelik x Zoro

Zoro: Heh. It's about time to show up. I have one request of you, Kelik. No matter which side wins, cut no one's back.

Kelik: I'm not so keen on the laws of a swordsman, Zoro

Zoro: If you fight a swordsman you follow their rules. The same thing goes for a pirate's duel.

level up "to go"

Yeah finally a chapter with good level ups! I need them! Even if needed three attempts for it.

Kelik's brother fights for the wrong side.

Thanks in advance!

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 18 part 1]



Prepared for the great advance.

A giant battlefield! Tons of enemies. Get ready for a Magnian massacre!


Battle preparations
Rank

My tactics rank pisses me more off than my funds rank.

Map



Chapter 18 is probably the largest map in this hack so far. You fight tons of enemies in a relative small area. They consist of fighters, mercenaries, knights, archers, mages and cavaliers. All of them have generic weapons. There are also a couple of prepromoted enemies:



However it applies: Quantity > Quality You can take them out easily.


Bosses
This chapter also features two bosses:

Boss #1 is Ethan, a knight with decent stats. The sword crusher is a lance, which does effective damage against myrmidons and mercenaries (and probably any other swordusers). It's like swordslayer from FE8 as a lance. Though he's not too tough. He's more a miniboss since you can reach him turn 1 already. The real boss is this guy here:


Howard returned somehow, although Levion kicked his ass in chapter 12. I think he has the same stats like he had in mentioned chapter. However he has different equipment. He has each physical weapon type so he can take advantage of the weapon triangle at any time. The toughest boss in this game because of

• 20 speed - no one can double him. Quite the opposite: He doubles everyone except for Althares, Kelik and Tekun
• His high avoid

The easiest and cheapest strategy is to attack him with magic, because he has equipped the silver axe. After attacking, just rescue the unit before Howard will swap to the spear. Though I'll do it on the hard way and attack him in close range. Thankfully I get a zanbato.


NPCs

The NPCs are distributed criss-cross on this map.

Most of them are pretty bad and only serve as canon fodder.


There are also a few very good partner units. In the east is a single mercenary with a killing edge.


Augury

The partner units will do their own thing. Not that I really need them.


Effective weapons make the bossfights easier. Though she forgot to mention the best weapon: zanbato


Anakin, Kelik, Shon and Siegfried can seize. (You can / must seize the gate of the miniboss as well)


Nonsense, if you get the delphi shield! Karina with boots will be pretty OP in this chapter.


Anakin, Kelik, Shon and Siegfried have a special conversation with Howard. However only Kelik will have it, because he's the only one, who can survive him.
Obviously I missed to rerecruit Cia (= mage girl) somehow. Someone mentioned me before that she shall talk to Howard.


Formation
I can bring 16 / 19 units to this map. Ace, Ben and Corben are still benched.


Turn 1
I'm beginning to charge. The enemies will go for my partner units at first, because they're by far worse than my units.
Player phase







50% of the second tier enemies already defeated. Thankfully Karina can use silver lances. That makes even more OP than she already is.


can live with it










Changed Shuuda's weapon to the lancereaver to have an advantage against the boss.

All these enemies are ORKOed. In this case it's not too bad, because the number of enemies is very huge and it's more like a "pseudo-defend" map in the early phase, although I'm advancing.


another guiding ring + money in this village
This hack has given me lots of guiding rings already. I'm still waiting for a promotion item for Althares and an elysian whip for Karina.


Enemy phase (the longest one in my hack-LP-career)









They go down like flies.


This merceneary was one of the better partner units.


Would like to have the enemy cav. instead of Shon. Look at the HP difference. Eduardo (lower level) has almost twice as much HP as Shon.



more offense power


Kelik oneshots (!) this mercenary.


NPC phase

There are three ballistas. One of them is appearently prepared for the NPC-archer from chapter 16 I didn't recruit.


Turn 2
Player phase
Killing the miniboss:

SEXY level up!

I don't seize immediately, because Idk, what will happen after that. I want to kill all the enemies first before I'll get a bad surprise.








at least stronger




Hits four times with 66% - good job!

Siegfried will decoy some enemies (including the mages, who killed the NPC fighters in the first turn).


Enemy phase

Siegfried has lots of issues with hitting things. Not too bad! The other ones need the exp. more anyway.


decent as I expected




NPC phase



This happens, if you've defeated boss #1.


Turn 3

Reinforcement cavalier from this fort. The only one in this chapter, because I'm going to block the other fort too.

Player phase

There's still a little hope for him...


one of his worse ones


Magic and luck are the stats she needs the most.


Mark misses so Kevin gets his only kill in this chapter.

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 18 part 2]



[spoiler=Lyam shall deal with the sage. Someone else shall kill him.]It was the wrong spot, because he can attack from the thicket.

Enemy phase




meh






That's the result for placing him on a wrong tile.

NPC phase



Turn 4
No more reinforcments, because the forts are blocked. I can press ahead with Althares, Kelik and Karina further towards Howard.
Player phase

Thanks to my own fault Lyam must kill the sage.




His first.......... and last level up in this hack!


All the enemies close to me are defeated. Now I seize:

I'm not sure, it you're forced to do it.


Tekun likes to get hand axes in his face!





I take all of Althares' weapons, because he's very close reaching level 20. Don't want to waste exp. on him.


Enemy phase







NPC phase



Turn 5
Player phase







no useful stat... again




These cavaliers have lots of HP (50% more than Shon has).


Enemy phase

maximum level just for dodging - unfortunately I can't promote him still
My favorite thief in FE!


Not many enemies are left anymore.


NPC phase



Turn 6
Player phase

These are the last remaining enemies next to Howard. Could attack him in the next turn already. More enemies are left in the eastern area close to the village.


What's his HP cap?




YES - this power and speed!


Enemy phase

Last of Howard's guards.





Turn 7
Player phase

The might of effective weapons. Mark's last kill.


The four houses on the top left:
If you're visiting one of them, you'll get this text:

These homes have been evacuated due to the battle. Rather, to prevent the people from making any mischief, they have been locked up in Castle Aegis' basement. (There is no one to talk or to talk to...).

Nevertheless I visited all the four houses. Maybe I'll get a reward for it.


Had to rescue this NPC cavalier, because he was in Howard's 2 attack range. I want to prevent at any cost that Howard swaps to his spear, because weapon triangle disadvantage for Kelik is the last thing I need.


Enemy phase





Turn 8
Player phase

The last enemy besides Howard. [spoiler=When I've visited the second village, I'm going to attack him.]Maybe Cia is inside.

The level ups become better and better! Quite like it atm.


another hero crest - one for Tekun and the other one for Shuuda


81% hitrate with the zanbato thanks to two C-supports


Boss conversation Kelik x Howard:

Kelik: Howard. Last time we met I was forced to run.

Howard:... Have the tables turned... ?

Kelik: Perhaps. I know better than to underestimate an Emperor's former bodyguard. At the very least, I'll put up a fight you won't forget.





Enemy phase

This heavy hitrate drop of 32% confuses me. If it changes from a weapon advantage to a disadvantage, the hitrate will fall by 20% (22% in this case, because Howard had 1 AS penalty with the equipped silver axe).


Player phase

Kelik attacks with his last lancereaver...


... and overkills him. The best way to kill him :D


maxed speed - also needs a promotion item so badly


Before I end this chapter I go shopping:
Buy a few staves
[imgur](http://i.imgur.com/sc149BG.png)
and horseslayers. This armory offers an effective weapon.




When did I have a chapter the last time without an one-statter?


Yeah, you still suck!


bad liar

Please no third time!


Meanwhile in Castle Aegis:


Siegfried has a present for Anakin:

A promotion item?


After a longer time of consideration he takes it.


Anakin's promotion

Against any expectations Anakin has a fixed promotion after chapter 18. It's pretty bad for me, because he only was level 11. If someone needs the promotion first, then Kelik! Anyway Anakin is a noble and can use staves now. He's like a bishop only with the ability to dance for someone. His stats are pathetic for his level. It's all my fault, because I mainly used him for dancing instead of fighting. So it wasn't possible to give him much exp..

[LunaticScreamer]

Probably a few days late, but a couple things regarding chapter 18.

[spoiler=Ch18 Notes]A. If Shon engages Howard in any way (Howard attacking him should count too), then you'll get Secret #2 and fulfill the last part of Shon's personal sidequest (The other parts of it were to let him solo Prologue part 1 and to have him get the killing blow on Pellenore in chapter 10 on the player phase). Of course, Shon usually needs either a Lancereaver or Axereaver so he has an actual chance to dodge at least one hit from Howard (Yeah, Shon tends to be doubled at this point unless he's gotten very speed blessed).

B. If Cia were here, she could talk to Howard. This has an effect that reveals itself in a couple chapters, though if you've been paying attention to the story, you may be able to surmise what that effect is.

Also...I don't like the forced promotion for Anakin as well. It basically forces you to use him heavily for more than mere extra turn granting so he's lv20 before that point. Still, his stats may be low for you, but between his extra turn granting + staff usage, he'll be MUCH more useful than Shon is.

That being said...as a primer for you going into chapter 19, you'll want to ensure you recruit the unit that appears there (Kevin or Anakin can do this) and make sure said unit survives the map. You'll get access to 19x that way.

Also going to be praying to the RNG gods that said chapter 19 unit turns out well for you, should you decide to train said unit up. You could use a dedicated non-flying spear unit that rocks the house, that's for sure.

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

Thanks for the info!

May I know, when and how I could rerecruit Cia?

Map


A simple indoor map. There's one main path, which leads you to the throne room. The enemies consist of soldiers, fighters, mercenaries, cavaliers, knights, magic users and archers with generic weapons for the most part. Stat- and levelwise they're not all that great.


bishop with physics and a light tome, which poisons you


heroslayer - It does effective damage to Kelik and Siegfried. I think it's effective against all the lords (Shon, Siegfried, Kelik and Anakin).


A warrior with high HP and strength but nothing else.

Both prepromoted enemies drop a promotion item. You get more of them in the chests.


The boss is another paladin, who only has lances. Without the lancereaver a though boss. The horseslayer can't hit for shit. He drops a promotion item, everyone (except for Althares) can use.


Loser Howard appears, but he disappears when the chapter begins.

Turn 1
Player phase





Keep it up... and you will land on the bench! Not that I want to use a knight.

Anakin can talk to Rex:

Anakin: Hey, who are you?

Rex: Now's probably not the time to explain the situation. I'm on your side! Seriously! Well, I was a Magnian soldier, but... um...

Anakin: You're on our side, right? That's all that's important. Welcome aboard, um...

Rex: The name is Rex. Although I was a Magnian soldier, I don't agree with this was or its methods. They brainwash us that all other people of Solum are inferior, but... I know better than this. Le me fight! I can't do anything else but fight. It's the only thing I can do to redeem myself.

Anakin: Say no more. Your intentions are clear. I'm Anakin of the commanders. We're glad to have you, Rex.

B-Support Kelik x Tekun

Kelik: Yo, Tekun. How are you?

Tekun: Bitter. Do you recall how me met, Kelik?

Kelik: I can't forget. You were so much better than me. Quicker, swifter... and stronger-willed. If Levion hadn't intervened in our fight, you'd have killed me.

Tekun: Haver you ever considered the poosibility I might try to kill you in your sleep?

Kelik: ... Whats with the questions? Tekun, as of noow, you have no reason to kill me, so I don't believe you will. Even if you did, it's not sth. worrying about will help. I'm no "immortal soldier". I'm going to die one day and that's that. But more importnatly what's going on in your head?

Tekun: I meant before when we met. Did you consider it? That the man who joined you might murder you?

Kelik: In the same way that any other man might murder me, yes.

Tekun: Do you remember what it was I said when I joined you?

Kelik: It's been a while. Tell me again, Tekun.

Tekun: When I agreed to join you, it wasn't because you offered and that I was using you as a means to an end.

Kelik: ...You're right. I think I see what you mean. But even so, I still can't put myself out truly trust you. It's like you said - I can never let my guard down. It takes ages to build trust, and only a moment to betray it.

Tekun: I choose to fight under you because I trust you. I gave you my blade. My sword arm.

Kelik: And... they're empty words. I'm sorry, Tekun. I need time to think. I'm not ready yet.

Tekun: It's up to you, Kelik. We've both been hurt in the past. Prove you're stronger than that.

Shon: I'm good too. Fighting in Atheya, where Magnian forces were weaker, helped build me up to the point where I am now... (bottom)

Siegfried: Ah, yes. Everyone starts from somewhere. Then we climb the ranks to become stronger and face more powerful foes. This is the life of a fighter... But don't let it take over you.

Shon: Huh?

Siegfried: I just mean that you shouldn't let fighting become who you are.

Shon: Well, of course not! I wouldn't want to become like Kelik, after all. (sad!!!)

Siegfried: Hahahaha, that would be indeed be unfortunate. ( shut up!)

Hitting with 36% and dodging with 74%. Very professional, Siegfried!

With another Tamiko-onestatter I end this chapter.

Will he fight him a third time?

no

decay already?

Here they go again.

The expected answer.

Oh right, it's the castle from the very first cutscene before the prologue.

The Duke tells, what happened in the prologue cutscene.

He explains Magnus' intentions:

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 19x]

Still in Aegis' castle.


[spoiler=Do you remember this guy?]He was the boss in 7x I couldn't beat.

But he denies, because he has noticed the trap. (ambush from everywhere)


Duke Paul joins the battle.


Battle preparations
Shon uses the energy ring and Shuuda the goddess icon. Don't promote anyone yet.

Map



Chapter 19x is exact the same map like 18. Only the circumstances are different. Now I must defend the two gates for 12 turns. They're guarded by two NPCs:


A generic general, who's slow as f**k...


... and Paul, a hero with much better stats. It's much harder to take him down. However there are more enemies close to him.


Halberdier Kid returns as a boss with the exact same stats (I think) like he had in 7x. However this time it's absolute managable to take him down. If you can beat him, this chapter is over early. He's placed on a field so I guess he'll move, if someone is in his attack range.

A few enemies are on my way towards him. I must clear out the north side very fast.

The two villages are open again and the shop and armory are still here as well.


Since my units are very good already I'm not going to play this chapter like a defend mission. I want to kill Cid very fast.


Turn 1
Player phase





My promoted units will tank these enemies.


This area is tougher because of the mages. Some of my units can't take two hits from them.


HELL YES!!!




HELL YES II!!!

I must be worried about Tekun and Shuuda, because they can't survive the two shamans (one of them has nosferatu). Need a little bit help by Anna.


Enemy phase





Unequipped Shuuda to increase his evasion (his sword weighed him down). Worked!




Turn 2
Player phase

Nosferatu can kiss my ass!










Already in turn 2 I'm going to decoy Cid.


only to sell


Enemy phase
Nothing happens! Kid doesn't move! Pointless. If he would have been placed in a thicket, I could understand it.


Turn 3
Tons of reinforcements spawn from everywhere:
From the west: 2 cavs., 2 fighters, 1 mage and 1 shaman
From the south: 2 cavs.
From the east (next to the village): 2 fighters, 1 mercenary, 1 archer

Since I know now that Cid is stationary I can press ahead with my units to the center of the battlefield.

Player phase



One spot for reinforcements is blocked.


Karina is going after the village.


three bad level ups in a row - still more defense than magic


Enemy phase



I don't praise these level ups anymore, because they're expectable.


0 damage - a soldier I'm in love with!








Turn 4
Same number and types of reinforcements like in the previous turn.
Player phase





acceptable


WHHYYYY!?


Lyam is in Cid's attack range.


brave tome - awesome








Enemy phase

I won't visit reach the southern village in time :c




damn it - 75% misses


meh




Turn 5
Player phase

It's the axe, which halves the enemies' HP. Unfortunately it's so heavy that he'll get doubled. He still would survive, but the the crit chance is another thing...


Good!


Yup!

48 HP O.O

Don't give a shit for the missed village.

... and everyone is safe.

more thanky thankies

That's it for now!

Edited August 28, 2015 by Mister IceTeaPeach

[LunaticScreamer]

That missed village in chapter 19x just gives a bit of text. No items gained from it so you missed nothing there thankfully.

The Adamant Lance that Cid dropped is also very interesting. It targets an enemy's resistance, making it a very nice tool against the types of enemies that have high defense, but low resistance (Wyvern Riders/Lords, Knights/Generals).

Finally, should you decide you want to use Rex for the long term (and, judging by that first level, it's a very tempting idea with 9 more levels of growing space), he'll need a Knight Crest to promote.

[Laytruce]

This heavy hitrate drop of 32% confuses me. If it changes from a weapon advantage to a disadvantage, the hitrate will fall by 20% (22% in this case, because Howard had 1 AS penalty with the equipped silver axe).

In FE7 and 8, weapon triangle advantage grants 15 hit and avoid, so the 30% difference is correct. FE6 only gives you 10.

I'm not sure why the author made the effort to include the Ranger class in a game with Nomad Troopers. Seems pretty redundant.

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 20 part 1]



Yue shares the information he has:


As Duke Paul has told you, Aegis was taken about 2 years ago. My personal story started when Magnus first invaded Aegis:

It was then that Magnus' highest ranked general, the Mage General, warped countless troops on Valencian soil. He has the capability to warp himself, as well as
multiple others, to any location. Such manipulation of ether has been unheared of...

Except by Magus, one of the seven heroes.

... But we all know the story of how we humans were driven away from thr old Blaine to this new continent of Solum so I disgress...

... Within minutes, Magnus had started rampaging across Aegis.

There wasn't even time for a messanger to reach the Duke. Within an hour, the civilians had been subdued, and Castle Aegis had fallen, without a fight.

After this, Magnus was confident it could conquer the rest of Valencia. After all, for the eight years or so before that, conflict had rendered Regalia and Alexia without leaders, Count Pellenore and Count Devisio traitors.

Alicia, self-absorbed in their inability to choose a Queen, was supposedly taken advantage of and quickly conquered as well. They were too preoccupied to fend off against Magnus...

Signs of war and conflict began ten years ago...

And the people with the power to stop it, failed to.

... Atheya, too was taken over, as is common knowledge. Without an unification of tribes, Atheya is too fragile to wage any war. And with Alicia, Atheya and Valencia out of the picture, Magnus was making preparations for a large push on Blaine. Their Imperial Generals have been away from the battlefield.

Blaine's status is... unfortunate.

Map


Chapter 20 is a huge and tough map - a really good one!

It's really the first time in this hack a challenge is waiting for you. It's a rout mission with exact 50 enemies. No reinforcements spawn.
You fight tons of dracos. A few of them a second tier and / or have silver weapons. There are a couple of ballistas I could use against the dracos, if I had an archer.

Lots of second tier enemies:
Wyvern lords with 20 strength
Generals with 20 defense
Not so good halberdiers...
... and paladins
Level 15 sniper (!) with a killer longbow

Play this chapter very slowly and carefully. Take out one by one. You've enough time for this chapter, because as equal there are no reinforcements.


The boss has very good stats and a personal spear, which is incredibly powerful. A very tough one. For some reason you can't do effective damage to him, although he hasn't equipped a delphi shield.

You get lots of good stuff in this chapter (silver lance, another deplhi shield among others)


Yua

Yua is a shaman with pretty decent stats. Only his speed is a downfall. Don't know if I'm going to use him. I don't know, what the amulet will do. Maybe someone will enlighten me.

Furthermore he gives Kelik his personal promotion item, he can use at anytime. Awesome, because he's almost level 20.

Turn 1
Player phase
Tekun visits the village...

... where you get the fighter Sai. His stats are decent, but I'm not going to use him, because thers's no more room in my team. I wished axe users would join much earlier in this game. The best thing about him is the dragon axe, which he'll pass to Asch very soon. Has a default support with Mark. Can increase it on the bench.


Place my two tanks on these forts to decoy the dracos. Take advantage of the terrain in this chapter! Thickets and forts will help you a lot.


Enemy phase





He leaves out the best stats.


Turn 2
Player phase

The brave tome is also a very nice weapon to have in this chapter, because it can ORKO the slow dracos.


nice - if I get another knight crest, I'll still use him.


Cid's admant lance attacks the resistance of the opponent. Great to have against the dracos.


his only kill - Lyam takes his dragon axe after that




Enemy phase

literally played with the fire






Turn 3

misses once


Lyam is godly in this chapter.


Finally she show his true class!


Enemy phase

Currently my units do a good job at hitting <50s.






Turn 4
Player phase

Quite a lot of enemies.Thankfully I've Anakin.


Why does he have a better defense than magic growth?






Rex needs the exp. the most.




Good job, guys!


Enemy phase

She can't even double the dracos. Bad wyvern lord!


Turn 5
Player phase



Now he has the draco axe.


You're a shit wyvern lord! ... and she'll keep these levels up till the end of this chapter...


Enemy phase

I don't like prepromotes, but in this chapter they're so necessary. Unfortuantely I missed the archer.


first enemy wyvern lord - with the Admant lance equipped she'd even get doubled


Turn 6
Player phase







at least speed


everything except for the stat she needs the most


Enemy phase

more lords


Turn 7
Player phase



shit, JUST SHIT!!! (ironically I usually am lucky with female red haired draco knights)


Enemy phase



Turn 8
Player phase

MVPs in this chapter: Lyam, Asch and Karina (all my promoted units)


Enemy phase

That missed village in chapter 19x just gives a bit of text. No items gained from it so you missed nothing there thankfully.

The Adamant Lance that Cid dropped is also very interesting. It targets an enemy's resistance, making it a very nice tool against the types of enemies that have high defense, but low resistance (Wyvern Riders/Lords, Knights/Generals).

Finally, should you decide you want to use Rex for the long term (and, judging by that first level, it's a very tempting idea with 9 more levels of growing space), he'll need a Knight Crest to promote.

Just realized your avatar ;)

Yeah, I assumed it because soldiers could promote into halberdiers with a knight crest in Dream of Five as well.
I'm going to use him because soldiers > knights (even if they only can use lances)

In FE7 and 8, weapon triangle advantage grants 15 hit and avoid, so the 30% difference is correct. FE6 only gives you 10.

Ah this explains it, thx!

I'm not sure why the author made the effort to include the Ranger class in a game with Nomad Troopers. Seems pretty redundant.

I've already asked this question myself.

BTW did I miss Storm?

Zane: I don't know where you obtain your information... However, no Magnion would be related to Sir Levion! Your attempts to get my guard down won't work dastard!

Kelik: It seems my words have fallen on deaf ears... General Zane, I wanted to test your strength, just once. But I never wantd it to be this way!


Yeah, he's pretty strong... Healed him after that,

[LunaticScreamer]

Quite a bit to talk about here so if I forget anything or your curious about something else, feel free to ask.

First off...back in chapter 18, there was a comment I made about there being some kind of payoff for having Cia talk to Howard. Chapter 20 is where it comes into play.

Howard joins your party

Kelik's promotion brings another perk besides the stat boosts...a +15 boost to his crit rate.

Storm will come back. Just don't rush chapter 21 too quickly and complete it before reinforcements arrive in the southeast. It's possible to do that (I could have back when I did my LP of the hack).

While on the subject of chapter 21...you'll need Ben if you want to pick up a new party member.

As for Zane's Sylmeria spear, it has one other bonus besides being insanely powerful, 1-2 range, and a +5 boost to res...it has the Delphi Shield effect which explains why arrows or other forms of effective damage don't do any good against him.

Finally...three levels in and Rex is doing pretty damn good all things considered. Strength & speed are the two stats he wants the most and both are at pretty good levels right now. You should have an Energy Ring from the Warrior in ch19 and some Speedwings coming up in ch21 so...I dare say he could get no more strength or speed for the rest of his leveling career before promotion and he could still be fine if you tossed those two items his way.

Know what's better? If you find yourself still wanting to use Kevin, Rex can support with him. It's an awesome thing let me tell you, heh.

That being said, these next two chapters are going to be some your best chances to get Rex up to speed if you ask me.

[spoiler=Chapter 21 part 1]



Haas and friends will return!


The time and prison and the conversation with Zane burden Siegfried.


[spoiler=Oh hey, I remember you!]He was shown with Ben in the chapter he joined.

He wanted to free commander Drake. Unfortunately he found the wrong friends.


Hopefully Ben can bring him to switch the side.


Levion told them about Zane's fate.


No time for vindictive feeling.


What a giant battlefield!

Promotions

Mr. Supertank Eduardo is a paladin now. He can use axe like the cavs. in FE6.


Tekun is a swordmaster now. His promotion gains aren't too great tbh.


I promoted Kevin at level 15. I still have one more knight crest left for Rex. These promotion gains are just fanstastic. Everything +2 at least except for movement.


Map



In Chapter 21 you must defend this King of Blaine for 12 turns...


... who's not only unharmed, but also a papercut who can get wrecked easily. At least he has assistance by three wyvern lords. A couple of generic WLs:




And Leopold, a wyvern lord who can take some weapons and has excellent equipment. The thing is that he'll leave after turn 1 as the king will do. That means you must seize and defend the throne from turn 2 on.

Otherwise you can kill the boss...

... who's a sorceror. Sorcerors can use dark and anima magic in this hack like druids can in FE8. He's powerful, but pretty easy to beat.

However it's a very hard task to rush to the boss, because the enemies aren't only in a huge number, but they're very powerful. Especially the first tier units have real stats from now on:


The prepromoted enemies aren't too bad either:


Since the previous chapter the level of difficulty is rised noticeable. Good!


When the chapter begins, Levion returns. He has the same stats and weaponslike he had in chapter 11. A great tank, but I won't use him much.


Turn 1
Player phase
I place Kelik and Tekun in a thicket and in support range in many of enemy attack ranges. It's a risky, but I hope that both will dodge quite a lot and survive.
Kevin with the horseslayer equipped decoys a few cavaliers.


No dodging and pretty much no stats.


Much closer than I expected.


better!


He (almost) oneshots them - excellent!




Turn 2
Player phase
First the easier side



Better than all of Karina's level ups! I'll use him too since I've one elysian whip left. Forgot to give him the delphi shield in this chapter though.


oneshot


acceptable




Must kill this mage because of the critchance against Ben.

Leave Kelik and Tekun (healed) on their spots.


Enemy phase



Now he shows his dodging abilities.


wrong weapon equipped





NPC cavaliers appear, who have worse stats than the enemies. In each phase four more NPCs spawn,


I try to kill EVERYTHING!


neither strength nor defense


PERFECT

Hopefully my offensive playwise won't get punished.




She's ready for the promotion.


shit


She's valkyrie and can use anima magic now.


Edu can oneshot too.




Enemy phase



more strength - he's going to outclass Kelik


Kelik x Tekun support ftw




NPC phase



Turn 3
Player phase
The worst part is over. I can push towards the western side with all my unis now.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/idweHFT.png
Four weak cavaliers appear from the west.


excellent - in next chapter he'll be promoted too

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 21 part 2]

the stats she needs the most


double kill for Edu - another good level up


swordmaster can oneshot


Emma's first kill




still waiting for strength - this sniper is stationary


Enemy phase









NPC phase



Turn 4
Player phase

A bad move, because he's in the attack range of some sorcerers including boss (who moves against my expectations) and Risk (who's stationary)


More cavs. from the west and four weak reinforcements from the south are spawned.








still her standard :I








Enemy phase






Now it becomes very close for Eduardo:

SHIT


SHIT!!!


Puh... thank goodness


Haas and friends are BACK!


Haas

Haas has very similar stats to Lyam. A few levels behind him, but not worse. Lower res. and skill, but higher luck and defense.


Liquid

Liquid joins, who was a boss in part 1. Haas had to talk to him to get him in this chapter. He's a berserker with nice base strength and speed, but that's pretty much it. The best thing of him are his weapons.


Arthur

Arthur is totally underleveled at this point and has pretty much no stats. Since I've Anakin and Tamiko as light magic user, there's no room for him anyway.


Storm

Storm is a little bit higher leveled than Arthur, but his stats aside of strength and speed aren't great for this current chapter either. Could promote him though.


Turn 5
Player phase
I'm going to kill this boss in this turn.

excellent


goodbye

Big mistake #1: Kelik must kill the boss.

If you don't kill the boss with Kelik, you don't get secret #3.

Big mistake #2: Forgot to recruit Risk.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I had to replay turn 4 + 5:


Risk's recruitment

Ben: Risk! I can't believe you! ... Is the captain ok?

Risk: They continue to keep him prisoner at the Palace.

Ben: Figures

Risk: What?

Ben: It figures that Magnus wouldn't keep their word. They don't have the slighest sense of "honor".

Risk: You're saying that you expected this all along?

Ben: I had hoped for better, but... I know my best chance for rescuing the Captain is defeating Magnus. Otherwise they have no obligation to do anything.

Risk: ...

Ben: You've really fallen backwards into things, havent you?

Risk: I'm frustated. Nothing else.

Ben: Can you take your frustation out on Magnus, perhaps? Instead of us?

Risk: Throw everything I've done away, and choose another path? I don't know it I truly have such an option. But I dont care anymore. I only care about one thing. Magnus' through anf brutal annihilation.

Ben: He's tough as ever... but at least he's back on our side. I'll have to explain the whole situation to the commanders later


Risk

Risk is a level 1 swordmaster with worse stats than Tekun except for resistance. Though he has the phoenicis, which is as powerful as an iron blade with much better accuracy and has inifinite uses.

luna


Kelik gets nosferatu (default) and secret #3 for killing the boss. Idk, what these secret scrolls will do (mastery skill?).


Level ups
not too great
excellent
already better than Karina
good - will be promoted before the next chapter
still don't know, if I'm going to use him further
OP!!!
Finally a great level up!
Yeah, I was very lucky with the level ups in this chapter.


Oh oh, it's Galgar


... and kills all the Blaine's soldiers with cheapness



Galagar: General Siegfried. How are you?

Siegfried: Don't feign friendship with me, General Magnus.

Galagar: Heh. You've won this battle. But you won't be so lucky forever, Siegfried.

Siegfried: Tsch...

Galagar: Since you're wondering. I didn't kill you back then becausse I didn't have orders to. That, and I was still a little... weak.

Siegfried: Weak...? Wait... how did you know? Hod did you know what I was thinking?!

Galagar: Strong at heart, weak in mind. Your mind is frail, and so very easy to see through. Siegfried, the time when we meet again will not come to pass. Farewell, Rebel! Hahahahahahaha!!!

.

After that in

no help of Blaine

Will this strategy work?

The King of Blaine has still a bad conscience and sends Leopold to Siegfried.

He offers himself to join my party.

Then you have this decision:

If you choose yes, you'll get Leopold.

If you choose no, you'll get money (don't know how much) and Zane's lance. (I think the better choice).

However I wanted to get Leopold, so I chosed yes.

Edited September 2, 2015 by Mister IceTeaPeach

[Laytruce]

Idk his HP-cap, but I promote him now.

All classes have an HP cap of 60, even unpromoted ones.

This hack actually has a fair amount of characters with an HP growth above 100%.

One of the frames in Tekun's new dodge animation looks like he's falling on his back. I'm going to have to look up how it looks in motion.

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

[spoiler=Chapter 22 part 1]



Galagar sends the leader of the Zeros to stop my army.


[spoiler=He isn't very convinced of Zero's acts.]treacherous

Shon must find his promotion item and a sword.


He gets them.
Sylmeria is the legendary lance of Blaine. [spoiler=You would get it, if you chosed against Leopold in the previous chapter.]I corrected my choice, because this spear is way more awesome than another average prepromoted unit.

Silvans is a very powerful brave sword with infinite uses. The bad thing: It has a weight of 16. That means Shon will get doubled and killed by pretty much everyone.


Shon's promotion item. Like Kelik's he can use it, whenever he wants. I'll wait a little bit, because he's still pretty low level. Anakin is the only one of the three, who has an auto promotion.


Battle preparations
Promotion

Itsuke is a sage now. I've one more stave user now. That means Tamiko will be kicked out of my team for the rest of this game (if I can't bring her), because her stats are mediocre.


Rank

unchanged


Map






The boss is Cero, an assassine. Very fast and powerful, but fragile and has lots of AS penalty, when he attacks with the shadow sword. He's not too bad. When you kill him, this chapter is over. He drops the promotion item for a thief. I can finally promote Althares.


[spoiler=His bro Shadow has slightly worse stats than Cero, but a much more frightening weapon. He's no boss.]Just ignore him!

This chapter features lots of fast enemies (myrmidons, mercenaries and assassines). A few of them will drop sth.. You get another promotion item:


for Mark


[spoiler=stealable light rune]which I can't do in time.

[spoiler=The scariest enemy on this map: bolting sage]There's a much worse enemy in this chapter.

[spoiler=You only can get bolting with a long bow user.]I tried to get it, but reinforcements hindered me to attack from this spot.

In this chapter I want to focus on the units, who aren't classchanged yet. (Shon, Yue and Ben)

Important: You can't bring Kelik and Siegfried to this map.

Turn 1
Player phase



Will change his weapon to a lance, after he attacks.


Enemy phase

best paladin / 10


sylmeria oneshots myrmidons


worst wyvern lord / 10


He can even take two hits.


Turn 2
Player phase



At least sylmeria makes her sort of good - oneshots this mage too




His latest level ups kinda stuck - at least tankier


Enemy phase

sylmeria wrecks everything


Shon can't even take two hits from this mercenary. Still 24 HP :C


THIS IS THE WORST ENEMY IN THIS CHAPTER!!!


Thankfully he dodges this one!


idc


Turn 3
Puh... this was very close for Lyam. I underrestimated his defense. Haas would be the safer choice as mounted bow user for sure because of his higher defense and luck.
A couple of myrmidon reinforcements appear.

Player phase

Whenever he uses the silvans, it will become a gambling!


Go out of the frontline at once!


GO AWAY!


I mean three stats don't look too bad at the first sight, but he needs EVERYTHING especially HP, speed and defense. He'd be unusable without his silvans. And even this weapon always takes a risk to get a Game Over.
Just said: Shon's bases and growths must be improved in the next hack version!


EXCELLENT!

C-support Althares x Tekun

Tekun: Althares

Althares: Yes, Tekun?

Tekun: Get stonger. You might die.

Althares: Yes father.

Tekun: ... I'm not kidding.

Althares: I'm a thief, Tekun, not a warrior. Think about something else besides life and death, okay? You dark little mind could probably use the break.

Tekun: ...


Enemy phase



Whoops - forgot to equip back to flux


Turn 4
Player phase





I may not place my units one space below, because otherwise they'd be in the attack range of bolting.


Enemy phase



More tankier, but speed would make me happier.


Turn 5
Player phase

Shon would survive an enemy!


meh




bleh




Enemy phase









Turn 6
Player phase
Still can't attack the bolting sage with Lyam,because still more reinforcemnts appear from the stairs and block the spot, where I can attack him.








Tbh Idc for him anymore, because he'll stay my dance in this hack and nothing else.


Turn 7
Player phase

Now I send my units in the bolting range, because the reinforcements ruin my plan. That means I won't get it anymore.


still meh


Enemy phase





OUCH!
