Interdimensional Observer Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Armagon said: Attention everyone! I have finally obtained my Skell License and received my first Skell, which I have named Fleetwood (as in Fleetwood Mac). Oh yeah.  Just to share them with you, I think I made a fairly decent El Stier-inspired paint job which I put on an Amdusias model Skell. If you'd want to see what it looks like, here are the numbers for the colors: Section 1- Hue 188 Saturation 0 Brightness 35 Section 2- Hue 85 Saturation 77 Brightness 127 Section 3- Hue 44 Saturation 214 Brightness 255 Section 4- Hue 91 Saturation 76 Brightness 124 Visor- Hue 36 Saturation 255 Brightness 255 Lights- Hue 45 Saturation 214 Brightness 255 Finish- Matte It ain't perfect, but it I tried to work with the limitations of XCX's visual customization system.  Less creative and more annoying, don't go too long without saving, and don't get anything less than perfect on a Skell destruction QTE. Better, if you know your Skell is going to be destroyed, get out of it before it gets smashed so there is no need to perfect the QTE that won't happen. I say this because of Skell Insurance. There are some IRL things that shouldn't feature in video games, and insurance is one of them. I get why it probably exists from a world perspective. BLADE realizes everyone is going to have their Skell wrecked sooner or later, but they want to actively discourage people from being reckless with them, since Skells are a precious and finite commodity needed for NLA's survival. But in gameplay? Skell Insurance is a bit of a bother. Most Skells come with 3 units of insurance, which cannot be increased, ever, which is its major problem (and unlike IRL insurance). The exceptions to this rule are the two Ares models, the level 60 Skells, the Excavator craftable after Alexa's last Affinity Mission, and maybe the Police and Dozer models craftable after H.B's and Boze's last AfMs respectively. All of these have 10 units of insurance. You lose one unit of insurance every time you eject from a destroyed Skell with a less-than-perfect QTE execution. I think what succeeding in the QTE but not perfectly nailing it results in you being spared damage when you're ejected. When you return to the non-online terminal in the BLADE Barracks and select the Skell hanger option, your Skell will be replaced by insurance, so as long as you have 1 unit of it left on that Skell. If you are out of insurance, when you return to the Barracks to have the destroy Skell restored, you will have to pay a hefty fee. Execution of the destruction QTE will have no effect on this. You may be better off selling the uninsured Skell frame and buying a new one (but do strip it of weapons, armor and Augments first). Oh, and if you can collect your daily Division reward from the online terminal and your Division ranked high enough the day before, you can get a Salvage Ticket which will automatically be used up if a Skell without insurance gets wrecked and you won't have to pay for it that one time. The ranking necessary for picking a Salvage Ticket depends on your Division. The AI will always get a perfect on their Skell destruction QTEs, but that means nothing if the Skell is uninsured. Still if you've a Skell with 1 insurance left, you may wish to relegate to the AI only. Stay away from the Yawning Chasm in Oblivia, if you fall into the bottomless abyss, your Skell is destroyed and no QTE will happen, you will lose insurance, the AI will too. Once you have the flight module, don't go diving into the depths of the chasm for fun, but it is fine to fight over it. Being in battle will add a "floor" that even if an enemy knocks you down you will not sink beneath towards destruction.

Oof. Good to know. And as far as hazards go, i'm guessing Skells are able to traverse the pits of lava and white sulfur in Cauldros no problem? I know the electromagnetic storms of Oblivia do hurts Skells a bit but that's as far as i know regarding hazards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Now, when it comes to Catholic Crusades, they pretty much have a unique structure and mechanics, after an overhaul in like the second to last or very last DLC, I forgot which. Anyway, in addition there's a bit of special Crusade event chains, usually based on historical... unique crusades shall we say. Like the Children's Crusade. And yes, we can end up sacking Constantinople, it's possible. But since it's in Catholic hands and not Orthodox, who knows if that can still happen. Anyway, one of the events for the Children's Crusade is pledging to join then in arms. Well...

I didn't realize they affected different parts. It can be hard to see, but when you select a section, the segments of of the Skell's surface it affects should be constantly flashing to indicate they're what's being changed. It's for the better that you strip your Skell of weapons before messing with the colors, that way you can see what you're messing with easier.  39 minutes ago, Armagon said: So basically, if i exit the Skell mid-battle, it becomes intangible to enemy attacks. Got it. Correct, nothing can harm a Skell you're not in. Not even a Xe-dom.  39 minutes ago, Armagon said: And as far as hazards go, i'm guessing Skells are able to traverse the pits of lava and white sulfur in Cauldros no problem? I know the electromagnetic storms of Oblivia do hurts Skells a bit but that's as far as i know regarding hazards. Lava and the White Phosphor Lake won't as much as blemish the paint, they're fine. Skells do take EM Storm damage, but not from Brimstone Rain. Rising Energy Mist (Sylvalum, night) and Energy Mist (Noctilum, night) are slightly beneficial, for they cause your Skells to gradually replenish fuel when you're in them and even when flying. And speaking of fuel, besides spending 5k Miranium for 3k fuel at the Barracks, breaking enemy appendages restores some fuel, as does being the one performing Bind. When you're not playing the game and IRL time passes, your Skells will gradually regain their fuel too. With regards to Bind, which replaces Topple for Skells and follows the infliction of Stagger on a sufficiently large target, do issue the command "Leave the Binding to me!" to tell the AI not to do it. The AI is as bad at that as Mythra at cooking, worse even. Lastly, because the game gives no clue about this, Skell Overdrive is a lot simpler than ground Overdrive, but each Skell model has a different named Overdrive. All Skell Overdrives temporarily reduce fuel consumption to zero, the differences are: Spoiler Urban- OBORO All damage up. Reduced ranged damage taken. Skell appendages are healed. (I've very rarely seen Skell appendages break though.) Formula- JINRAI Evasion and accuracy up. Critical chance up. Reduced cooldown. Verus (or "Wels" in Japan)- HAGANE Melee damage up. Appendage heal. Physical Reflect (and this enables any Skell Reflect Augments on the unit). Lailah- NAGI Gradual HP regeneration. Appendage regeneration. Reduces damage taken. Debuff immunity. Inferno- HIBANA Appendage heal. Ranged damage up. Thermal Reflect. Mastema- GEKITETU Ranged damage up. Reduces damage taken. Beam Reflect. Amdusias- KURENAI Gains fuel when using melee attacks. Melee damage up. Appendage damage up. Police/Dozer/Excavator- KAMIKAZE All damage up. Increases accuracy and evasion. ...This Skell loses half of its health when the Overdrive ends. Ares- LEGION All damage up. Evasion and accuracy up. Reduced Arts cooldown. Appendage heal. Not sure how large any of these bonuses are or if they vary from Overdrive to Overdrive. I'd hope KAMIKAZE's damage boost is bigger to compensate for the major drawback. ...And this should conclude all I'd want to say on Skells. I hope it wasn't too much or anything.

Acacia Sgt Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Despite him being granted over 100K troops in the event (which is ridiculously high even at this point), and despite the event supposedly stating he was in Antioch... His forces spawned back in freaking Prussia! Since the AI ain't that smart when it comes to minding supply limits, he'll loose a couple thousands through attrition. Guess it'll fall on me to wage this crusade, at least at first. Interesting tidbit. During a Crusade, should they be in enemy hands, the very time places like Jerusalem and Caesarea get sieged, there's a small probability that you'll gain stuff like the Lance of Longinus and the Holy Grail! Yep. But it's a very small chance, and I think it only rolls for the very first time those two places get sieged down. So... better hope the RNG blesses you. It didn't to me. Oh well. I did most of the work, but in the end, the Crusade was won. Jerusalem is ours! And a stretch of the coastline. Too bad the area fragmented. Otherwise we could've taken more from the target. Now the thing about this Crusade is that this is a special crusade. Regular Crusades can only be called upon every thirty years. But special crusades are independent of that. So any moment now the Pope may call for the first proper Crusade. But, that's it for me for today. Will continue... tomorrow, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, sorry, I disagree there. The map is not exactly pleasant, I have to admit, but I can't see it as worse than FE5 chapter 22's "warpskip or bust" deal, or chapter 24x's warp tile fun, or chapter 12x's... just plain bad design, for a few examples. And this is coming from someone who enjoyed FE5 - even the worst Berwick maps aren't even close to the worst maps of that game. Or Three Houses's Softlock At Dawn, for that matter. Damnit, there I go on a furious rant to defend my favorite game... Apologies, everyone. ...Still, it's true that the map is tough as nails. There's a free vanishstone on the chest in this map, so you can get your healer through. That helps, but it's still not a stroll in the park. 4 hours ago, Armagon said: This does not bode well for me. Please have faith.

BrightBow Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) I generally use the Vanishstone so that Czene can reveal the crossbow guys in the forest next to the ballista. Czene is extremely important here since she is the only one who can reveal enemies with Hide, what with Larentia being unavailable and all. Anyway, Esteban on the Lighthouse can reveal both ballista and Burroughs can destroy the one on the left side.
