NeroWiess Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Would you mind giving an analysis on the B route characters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) He gave one in the video, although I think you can find Ilios vs Olwen all over google because that's been debated since people have played the game in English. Even though there's been a clear winner to said debate for a long ass time... it still happens too often. Personally though I think they went into enough specifics in the video. The B route characters are either more versatile or outright better. Edited August 21, 2016 by Lord Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dondon151 Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Chapter 20 is completed in 15 turns. Chapter information This map actually ends after turn 14 enemy phase. Like all other defense maps that end after enemy phase, the game adds 1 to the chapter turncount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) When you say Eryizo, do you mean like the Pokemon Youtuber or am I getting him mixed up with someone else? Also damn, this chapter looks...really easy! I assume it's a breather when actually playing the game, but it sounds like a slog to commentate over. Mekkah and the guest did a pretty god job regardless! Edited September 10, 2016 by Refa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dondon151 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Chapters 21 and 21x are completed in 1 and 5 turns, respectively. Chapter 21 information New characters Dermott (デルムッド) - Forest Knight L37 > 10 mov | pursuit critical coefficient = 5 | 0 leadership starsSkills: Charm (Vantage and Wrath are from Dermott’s equipped weapon) Of the 4 units who can wield the weapon specifically designed for one of the main villains in the game, Dermott is the only one in 0% growths who stands a fighting chance. One wishes that his skl or luk were a little better to tip the percentages more in his favor. Dermott’s Charm skill has minor utility over the rest of the game - it’s too bad that the skill doesn’t work on himself. Chapter 21x information Important weapons and items Rewarp (リワープ)A rank staff | self | 6 WT | moves user to any traversable, unoccupied tile Rewarp completes the unholy trinity of movement-based staves. The staff’s name doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but that’s Engrish for you. Nosferatu (リザイア)B rank light | 1-2 rng | 12 WT | 12 MT | 65 hit | 0 crit | absorbs HP In any reasonable run, Nosferatu can essentially be considered a prf weapon for most of its existence, as only Homer and Linoan have the requisite light ranks to use it. Nosferatu is merely a novelty until you pair it with Wrath, producing an invincible killing machine. Linoan has to make sure that she doesn’t get OHKO’d while using it (which is pretty hard for a unit with 16 HP) and doesn’t miss, but fortunately her most common targets are enemy magic users with 0 AS. Mechanics notes Prisoner census All of the allies whom we have heartlessly abandoned up until this point have ended up in this prison facility, and it's up to Leif to bail them out and preserve his SSS rank. This chapter is his one and only chance to save captured allies; any unit captured or ditched after this chapter is lost forever. Prisoners are dispersed evenly among 4 cells. Their distribution occurs in a fixed pattern, so theoretically their starting positions can be determined by going back and checking the deployment order of units in each chapter where we abandoned some comrades. The individual grey tiles are the positions within each cell that prisoners populate. Source: FEWoD. The game cycles through the cells as it goes down the list of prisoners, i.e., every 4th unit will share the same cell. It appears that the game “starts” placing units in a different cell depending on the total number of units abandoned modulo 4. For example, suppose that you have 16 units captured. If you were to abandon a 17th unit, then the resulting prisoner formation would not be identical to the 16-man formation with 1 extra unit placed in one of the cells. So the prisoner formation that I have going into this chapter is a result of careful planning mixed with trial and error. Miracle Unlike in FE9 and FE10, FE5’s Miracle negates damage altogether, meaning that a unit can cheat death ad infinitum given that Miracle keeps activating. Miracle’s activation rate in this game is 3*luk% on an otherwise fatal blow. There is no animation for Miracle, so an activation looks identical to a normal dodge. Miracle’s mechanics haven’t been tested extensively, but there is substantial evidence that once Miracle activates during a round of combat, it is in effect for the rest of that round.

dondon151 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Chapters 22 and 23 are completed in 1 and 2 turns, respectively. Chapter 23 information New characters Saias (サイアス) - High priest L127 mov | pursuit critical coefficient = 0 | 3 leadership stars (5 in chapter 23)Skills: Nihil Saias is clearly designed for support rather than combat. If the player completes chapter 23 without recruiting Ced, then Saias stays in Leif’s army, otherwise he leaves after chapter’s end. In a normal playthrough, Saias can take the Wrath manual to become a functional combat unit while Sara can take over most of Ced’s duties in this playthrough. In 0% growths, Ced’s combat contributions are sorely needed. Ced (セティ) - Sage L148 mov | pursuit critical coefficient = 3 | 1 leadership starSkills: Adept Ced is a combat god. He’ll ORKO almost every enemy as long as he doesn’t miss an attack at 99 hit or get thwarted by the enemy’s Pavise or Miracle skills. He also has A rank staves. If a player unit ends his turn close enough to the gate, Ced will appear out of nowhere on enemy phase and murder the enemy boss before occupying the gate himself. Ced will not appear if the player can quickly kill the enemy boss and seize in the same turn. If Ced does appear but you rescue him off the gate and seize without talking to him, he also will not join. Important weapons and items Forseti (フォルセティ)Prf rank wind | 1-2 rng | 6 WT | 20 MT | 90 hit | 30 crit | effective against fliers; skl +20, spd +20 FE4 emphasized what made holy weapons holy by awarding them the largest stat bonuses ever seen in Fire Emblem. Forseti is the only holy weapon usable in FE5, and it would make a proficient unit even without a user. Very few enemy units will be left standing after a round of Forseti and most of them will have trouble successfully hitting Ced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dondon151 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Chapter 24 is completed in 6 turns. Chapter information New characters Galzus (ガルザス) - Hero L207 mov | pursuit critical coefficient = 3 | 0 leadership starsSkills: Astra, Luna If Ced is a combat god, then Galzus is… also a combat god. The differences between them are that Galzus isn’t reliant on any particular weapon to crush skulls, but he can’t use staves, which makes him automatically less useful. Important weapons and items Blaggi Sword (ブラギの剣)Prf rank sword | 1 rng | 12 WT | 15 MT | 70 hit | 0 crit | effective against armors; grants Miracle skill to user; negates Loptyr Sword’s atk-halving effect The Blaggi Sword is limited to 4 users rather than only 1. It’s suggested that sword users with holy blood - Leif, Fergus, Nanna, and Dermott - can use this weapon, but Mareeta and Galzus can’t for some reason (also, Fergus has holy blood?). Regardless of plot discontinuity, the Blaggi Sword’s intended function is to counter the Loptyr Sword wielded by Raydrik and his deadlord incarnation Eins. It’s a less impressive version of FE4’s Book of Naga tome. Loptyr Sword (ロプトの剣) Prf rank sword | 1 rng | 20 WT | 15 MT | 70 hit | 0 crit | mag +20; halves opponent’s atk Raydrik’s Loptyr Sword is a cheap version of FE4’s Book of Loptyr tome, with both having the same general effect of halving the opponent’s atk. This coupled with the huge +20 mag bonus renders most attempts at damaging Raydrik ineffective - Ced would need a critical hit to deal only 8 HP damage with Forseti. Critical hits with effective weaponry and Luna activations can still deal adequate damage despite halved atk. There’s a trick involving the Thief staff that allows the player to steal the Loptyr Sword, but it’s for pure novelty because the Loptyr Sword is unusable by any player unit. Blizzard (ブリザード)A rank wind | 3-10 rng | 20 WT | 9 MT | 70 hit | 0 crit | inflicts sleep on target The added effect of Blizzard is not a typo: it’s the coolest siege magic tome ever. To be precise, it’s only cool in the player’s hands, because having sleep rained down upon you is probably not cool. Aside from being a cheaper version of Sleep that Asvel can use, Blizzard’s niche is that the user doesn’t have to out-mag the target in order to inflict sleep, which comes in handy in the final chapter. Hel (ヘル)Prf rank dark | 1-2 rng | 20 WT | - MT | 60 hit | 0 crit | reduces target HP to 1; deals 1 HP damage otherwise Hel is FE6 Eclipse in a threatening form. The most dangerous part of Hel is that it combos with Jormungandr to produce certain death on poisoned units unless they heal HP mid-turn with Sol or a self-healing weapon.

eclipse Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 If the Loptyr Sword is stolen, does Raydrik take normal damage? If so, I can see how this could be useful, even if the sword itself is useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondon151 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 if he unequips the loptyr sword, he loses the atk-halving effect, so you don't even have to steal it. just give him a 2-range weapon and make him equip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotari Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 if he unequips the loptyr sword, he loses the atk-halving effect, so you don't even have to steal it. just give him a 2-range weapon and make him equip it. But still, steal it for fun and watch how he magically gets a second one in the final chapter. Supposedly Veld must have a whole cupboard full of them somewhere in that dungeon.

dondon151 Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) Chapter 24x is completed in 3 turns. Chapter information Important weapons and items Kia (キア)Prf rank staff | 1 rng | 7 WT | restores target’s stone status The Kia staff is essentially a very specific version of Restore that only Sarah can use. Stone is a plot-important but otherwise rare status effect; only Veld is capable of inflicting it.

Mekkah Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Several chapters were long and boring and came paired with some loss of motivation. Shadow Dragon doesn't have any really long maps and it also has a couple of quick warp skips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
