They were the most useful for most battles, I felt and they had great synergy. I have Lightning as lead because 1000% personal bias, and Fang because its Fang, as for Vanille, well, I used Hope last time, so it's her turn.

I see, I see! I used them because they had the best skills for the paradigm setups I had. That I liked these three characters helped, of course.

null Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Well, I'm done Path of Radiance. The last map was a nice challenge (had to reset a couple times before figuring out what to do), although Ashnard was disappointingly easy. The fight boiled down to letting Ike counter and having Elincia fly in and out to heal in between attacks. Weirdly enough, Ike never activated Aether. Maybe he can't against Ashnard? I don't know, but the ending was great and an awesome wrap-up to an excellent game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Aether thing, I don't recall Ashnard having Nihil, but I don't think ever seeing Aether against him, either. Odd. Just now, lightcosmo said: It didn't feel that way at all!

Also, Ike can activate Aether against Ashnard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I did use Tibarn to speed the fight up, but otherwise just kept letting Ike counter and healing with Elincia. My Ike also had capped speed, so he never got doubled either. That's probably also why it was a bit easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked Giffca on my very first playthrough, which made Ashnard even easier (Giffca is the biggest damage dealer between the three you can pick from).

That's me as well! Especially like in this instance. Yep, but your better off with having Ike use resolve/Wrath instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, especially on the harder modes, this is much better than Aether. Question is if you can kill the Black Knight with that, however. If I remember correctly, even max strength Ike can't kill the Black Knight without activating Aether at least twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Ike was at around 7 HP, so it's probably a good thing the chapter automatically ended, haha. The one time I actually had Aether activate, I accidentally equipped a silver sword and did no damage.

You can't give Ike Resolve as you get it that chapter, right before you face off. Since Resolve gives you x1.5 strength, yeah it's pretty easy.

More or less, although easy mode has a few things you may or may not like. The exp gains are insane, powering through the enemies is a thing. enemy density is much lower than on Normal Mode, so less to fight. The endgame on easy mode grants +5 to all units stats for no good reason, it just does to make it "easy". One thing that is important to remember, do you remember the lovely leadship system from FE4? Well that's in this game as well, and also gives +5 to hit/avo per authority as they call it. This can make or break you in very specific chapters. 1 minute ago, twilitfalchion said: Lost her to a lucky crit from a Killing Edge in Ch. 26, IIRC.
