Anouleth Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I've used it in Radiant Dawn, since I love Seraph Knights, especially Tanith who is perhaps the coolest looking unit in all of Tellius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCaptain Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I used it in multiple games before, but it usually was very impractical. However, I found that in Gaiden, there were many times I was able to use it where it actually was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrightBow Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Killing Naesala in PoR, if only because it feels so damn good to take him down so smoothly. Also, on my first run of FE6, I used the Triangle Attack of Barth, Bors and Wendy against Reygans since... well, I didn't use Dieck or Rutger, so I simply couldn't hit this guy otherwise. Also, Vampa, Eliu and Fetra once successfully used the Triangle Attack against me. Does that count? Edited August 17, 2015 by BrightBow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azz Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Once in FE8 during Creature Campaign when I was maxing out Syrene just to see it.Never used it after words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Laufeyson Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I used it in FE9 to kill Nasaela You KILLED HIM? YOU MONSTER! In all seriousness, the only game ive used Triangle Attack in, is FE7. Lloyd version of Cog of Destiny can be a bit of a challenge. Hes dodgy as hell even with that Light Brand. So i Triangle Attack the bastage. Usually does the trick too. I tend to use it more than once in a run in that game. Sometimes Sonia gets it, or Uhai in the final chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinzy Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 ^ Yes. It's actually practical in FE7, provided you decide to use Farina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balcerzak Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I used it to bypass the Iron Rune and turn Lloyd into mincemeat in Cog during my ranked run. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it to bypass the Iron Rune and turn Lloyd into mincemeat in Cog during my ranked run. Good times. Yeee. That damned Iron Rune... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami922 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I used it to bypass the Iron Rune and turn Lloyd into mincemeat in Cog during my ranked run. Good times. Wow, it goes through the Iron Rune? I did not know that. tbh its actually pretty practical to use Farina. I think you should use all three, personally.

MacLovin Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The Last Promise. fuck galagar. Also fe7 Chaos Mode because fuck it all. to quote Eclipse. "Everything's all fun and games until a Silver Sword Triangle Attack goes up your ass." and i've used the triangle attack in other games for novelty reasons.

Darrman Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I usually use it once a run if I can get the three units together easily. I've done it in 3 and 6-armour, and I think I might have done it in 8's postgame. I tried it in 13, only to find out it didn't exist anymore. An idiotic Miiverser was like, "what is triangle attack??" Here's a quick story: I dragged Rolf along to Chapter 26 of PoR, since it was the obligatory "mad deployment" level. He was level 2. Archer. I triangle attacked some random bad guy (with a non-Rolf).... and Rolf died next turn due to Meteor. Only my fifth death all playthrough (Yes, I'm awful at FE. Don't rub it in. One of those was an Ike suicide to nullify Boyd and Soren dying on Chapter 5. Since I'm here, the other to die was Zihark on 17-4. He died of poison.)

BrightBow Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 How could I forget that I got a lot of use out of the Triangle Attack in Shadow Dragon's multiplayer mode? Thankfully, the sisters can use the Triangle Attack regardless of their class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I've never used it, due to it's immense lack of practicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tragonight Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I used it once in FE8 to see what it looks like. I had Tana initiate it as a Wyvern Knight, I was just curious. Never did it in any other GBA game. I imagine it'd look somewhat similar. And as for the Tellius saga, I'd have to give Oscar bows, which is horribly inconvenient.

Magical Glace Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I used it in Syrene's joining chapter in FE8, since I use both Tana and Vanessa every run and always go Falco with both. I then bench Syrene and never use it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMT4ever Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I had Farina puncture Nergal with a Rex Hasta triangle attack, then had her do it to the dragon for chip damage. Other than that I've never bothered because of how annoying it is to raise any triangle trio outside FE7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical CC Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Only once in FE7 because I wanted to see how it looks like. And since I like and use all of the pegasus girls in FE7 so...why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamanoir Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) I've used it in TLP to beat the final boss... Otherwise, quite a few time in Gaiden and FE7. And in Wendy's starting chapter once, to see how it is. Edited August 28, 2015 by Tamanoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feplus Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 "Impractical" appears to be this thread's operative word. In normal play, granted, triangle attacks are cumbersome and rarely worth it. But they really shine in challenge runs. Triangle attacks are the primary kill option in lategame Blazing Sword no-promoted-units runs, for example, and I've heard they're handy in some FE11/12 runs too.

And against bosses, they works really well. Against the Dragon, for example, having Farina with a Rex Hasta (she's normally your strongest unit) inititate a Triangle Attack on the Dragon is a viable strategy.
