Tarilaan Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 11 hours ago, Quintessence said: They've never added tomes or breath that deal physical damage A bit late to the party here, but PoR/RD did actually have some physical Breath attacks. Red and Black Breath (Ena and Gareth for the former, Kurthnaga and Dheginsea for the latter) Were both Strength based. I guess White breath was too, in PoR, but they changed it to Magic in RD (Sorry Nasir!) I'm pretty sure there weren't any physical tomes though. As far as other weapons go, however - Fates alone has a ton of weapons they could draw from to mess with the damage being dealt, as well as other tools that've yet to be tapped. Flame Shuriken/Shining Bow for Colorless magic damage. Barb Shuriken (Special -1), Hunter's Knife (Beastslayer), Soldier's Knife (Brave), and Sting Shuriken (Armorslayer) for dagger variety. Just as some examples. There are of course also the Bolt Axe/Wind Sword/Flame Lance as well for the primary weapon classes for altering damage type, and Storm Sword/Tomahawk/Spear for giving the melee classes a ranged option. Still plenty they can do to shake things up. Sadly, just not as much for mages, though there are still tomes like Nosferatu they could introduce for giving magic more shenanigans or (heaven forbid in a battlefield of this size) the siege tomes Tornado/Meteor/Bolting (At which point if they go that route, they may as well introduce Ballisticians as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Dragon Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Ugh, even after fully building Gwendolyn, I still can't clear all the trash 740-point opponents. I'm lucky just to get 4 742-point opponents in a row, much less 7. My best streak so far has been 6. All these people with 740-point teams suck. I wish I had pulled 4 more Ikes during the banner.

Leon is a goal of mine, but Death Blow is not the A slot I'm thinking of. I'm thinking of sacrificing a... different member of the TKJ in service to him.

Zeo Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Welp, a banner I can pass on. Thanks for the free F!Corrin though. @mcsilas Hadn't thought of a Poison Dagger+ Horse unit. Dangerous but also niche. The Dagger units really need something new to make them stand out. Edited September 18, 2017 by Zeo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Dragon Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Fuck you, Arena Assault. That was probably the least enjoyable 6 hours of my... past week or so. Spoiler God, now I have to do actual Arena. I swore I'd do it with a full Brave Heroes team, but I only have two of them trained and none of them merged and none of their builds decided and... ugh. Fml. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a current file of SoV, too, but I haven't gone to it in a while. I've also got a Mystery playthrough (original, both books) and Genealogy ready to do after that. I believe I am missing only 6 4* units- Jeorge, Sheena, Leon, Roy, Eirika, and Seth. It's probably technically correct to append the Black Knight to that list, but he's not released yet.

SatsumaFSoysoy Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 @JSND Alter Dragon Boner For my money Lucina x Julia is the better pairing because Zephiel cries from all the dragon-slaying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheena still has yet to come around for me as well and is the only remaining Day One 4-5* hero I don't have. Aside from her, I'm down to just Mae, Roderick and Seth as my missing 4-5* heroes.

Sadly dagger units are too niche. But the thought of a mage killer cavalry Restank with Poison Dagger/Rogue Dagger, Distant Def and Fortify Cav buffs sounds fun as anti-mage unit. (Cavalry Felicia basically but has access to +6 buffs). Oh and maybe Cancel Affinity, too. Hmmm I wonder if i should promote the +Atk Jeorge I pulled. He needs a lot of skill inheritnace though, and Klein is perfectively serviceable and is my most used unit because of max SP/HM. I don't really hear much about Jeorges though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably beats my first clear. I knew only Alm and Nosferatu could damage him, but I did not know that that only applied towards the end of the fight, and did the entire thing with Alm. (Faye wasn't a Cleric, so I didn't have a reliable Nosferatu attacker). It took a while, considering the 200HP, and I was starting to think I was doing something wrong.

(Colorless Dagger only) With the way Colorless work as a color a general purpose nuke with specialization is pretty much the only thing they can do well They cant be a generalist because offense is strong and they are limited by BST(for all the mocking he got Viriion actually had a well distributed stats in this regard) and they cant be a counterpick for the most part since they dont get WTA or WTD. I dare say Bow would be shiet if not for Firesweep and Brave. Only Dagger who was considered good was Kagero and she was Brave Bow Takumi 0.75 @SatsumaFSoysoy I prefer straight pairing tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An NPC in Lost Treescape says "4... 8... 12..." and then goes away, meaning you better have paid attention the first time. After that, you're on your own.
