Mozu is very very very easy to train. She can get to lvl7 in her paralogue and if you reclass her before lvlup she will easily have the best offense in your team.

She saved my behind alot in conquest luna

My hot conquest take is that I unironically think Mozu is worth it.

Well, that's... not the dumbest concept for a map I've seen so far in this route.

Since it's a boss kill, I take the quick way out with this fight. Reina and Subaki get paired with Azura and whoever shall non-fatally assassinate Flora (or Cammy if she's the target, I forget).

Yeah, i think i'm just gonna drop SteamWorld Heist. Idk if the maps are supposed to get longer and i'm nearly done with the first world but man like, there's nothing for me to latch onto. Like literally nothing. 

I don't know if i played reasonably far enough to give it a score (i'm 95% done with World 1 out of 3) but considering this feeling of just.....boring emptiness is something i've never really felt with a game before.....yeah, imma score it. 2/10.

Like bro, maybe that's too harsh a score but even games i've dropped because they weren't my thing or because i thought they were bad didn't make me feel this way. I've at least felt something with those games. It actually would've been better if this game was just straight-up bad.

Hope my current avi doesn't bother you then. 

Personally, the simplicity didn't bother me, the action felt fairly tight- the premise of it being a "heist" felt real enough. My biggest gripe was the inventory was too small and weapons didn't need straight upgrades. 

I do concede the story and the characters aren't anything to really write home about. A bit of charm, but no true depth.

So I decied I wanted to go down memory lane and visit my first ever screenshot LP on SF, only to find all the pictures are gone. Rip in pepperonis. At least the RBY Randomiser Nuzlocke is still alive!

I used Mozu once; she died on Chapter 16 in an Iron Man run and I told myself, "yeah, this wasn't worth it." I find it's enough to have just Niles when it comes to bow users, at least until Shura joins.

God, I love Niles.

I don’t really hate games as such, but I guess if I had to pick a least favorite it would be Awakening. I haven’t played many games I actively disliked, though. Certainly not enough to make a list. Even Awakening had some good bits by virtue of FE gameplay.

Well, you see, Silas boring, Mozu not, so I find a way.

Seriously though, that’s because the only effective way to use Mozu is to reclass her, feed her as much of her paralogue as you can, and watch her growths pick her up. After that, even in the early chapters her offense is really good (better than Silas’ for sure since she knows what doubling is), so she can definitely contribute. She’s squishy, but so are like half the units you have at that point, so it is manageable. Her stats should really only be bad in the beginning of her paralogue that way. Of course you could get unlucky like me, my Mozu is slightly strength screwed, but she can still one round with attack stance. Silas would never be able to do that so early. As far as what Silas can do, he can take one or two hits, but Effie can take like five and this early that’s really all you’ll need. He has better movement but eh, not too big a sacrifice. The only time I can think you would really want it is chapter 8 where you have to get 3 villages, but I didn’t use him and still got them all so it is doable. Plus with Mozu’s heart seal class being archer, she gets range without her speed being completely destroyed. Silas doesn’t have that privilege.

Ehhh... I don't know, guys. I have to doubt the "easily" part when she's going to be stuck with bronze bows forever, this being Fire Emblem "slower weapon ranks than Binding Blade" Fates, not to mention characters like Corrin and Effie exist. She might beat Niles, and if you're a horrible person with awful taste and pick the boots over Shura she might not ever have competition, but from there to "easily the best offense in your team..." Yeah, I don't think so.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't think she's unusable, but... yeah, I don't think she's quite that good. And I also don't really like her, so... Pfeh. Why bother, is my assessment. I'd rather use a generic, to be honest. Generics are better looking and have bases that exist.

Leave it to Ruben to lash out at the first sight of positivity

I needed to train my generics. Also, no flying generics yet, so I could not do that even if I wanted to.

I thought I was the only one here who liked Niles and Shura and disliked Mozu and early boots. Glad to see someone else with actual taste.

Binding Blade is up there with Genealogy, Thracia, and Conquest for me. Fundamentally it shouldn't be a good experience, but I somehow love it. My Iron Man Hard Mode run on it was a spectatular success.

It's a shame about your experience with Niles. In my 10+ runs of the game, Niles has always been a top contender for me, with his high movement, locktouch, reliability to kill flying units, and how easily he contributes to final chapter cheese. He's not a top contender damage output-wise, but his other unique utilities makes him a mandate on my runs.

Just now, Sooks said:

I've found combat-wise he does fall off a bit during the last couple chapters, but easy access to Shurikenbreaker and 9 movement still makes him great.

Corrin is absurdly overpowered unless you're me and Effie isn't too far behind. I will have to put a big "citation needed" on that until I try it out for myself. If I can even be bothered.

I mean, Boots is nice, but Shura is an excellent filler unit when the game gives you the space for him, and pairing someone up with him gives them +1 movement anyway.

But yes, gotchu homie.

It doesn’t take that long to get to D, my Mozu is already there.

Corrin doesn’t consistently one round that early in the game, and Effie never consistently one rounds.

In the story, her design and kind of her character, Mozu is a generic farm girl villager.

He has never had strength for me, from beginning to whenever I bench him.

Although he did get a strength level this chapter, which was cool.

Yeah I criticize gameplay a shitton, but I can also see the good in the same games, even if its not gameplay related. After all, there IS more to a game than gameplay!

[DodgeDusk]

"Growing like a weed" is an apt description for a pest like her. Experience she could get can be given to make good units better.

Exactly, goddamnit. He acts as a walking pair of boots you can slap on anybody anytime you need, and on top of that he can fight, heal and debuff. He's super great.

This just in: Yubello best New Mystery unit according to Shrimpy.

Now, as for the reason I'm constantly memeing every other child soldier but act like a jerk towards Mozu... To be honest, I'm not sure. There's something about her I really don't like. I think it's her animations. As much as I like to joke about turning kids into mass murderers, Mozu having very blatantly displayed PTSD and it being played for laughs just... Doesn't sit right with me.

Haitaka? More like Hightaka, since he's high up on the "beast" tier list.
