Throw Narron and any other highly defensible riders (such as Raphael, if he's deployed) at the wall. Then when few of them are left, sweep in with Mintz and nab the man himself.

What's funny is that some of the ballistae (including Hagar) have exhausted their supply of things to throw at me.

Now there's even less reason to kill him. Clearly the universe wants you to use Hagar. You just must!

[Sooks]

Tfw Catherine steals your kill.

This is maddening, green units aren’t even supposed to survive!

[Armagon]

@Saint Rubenio I regret to inform you that I don't think Hagar can be saved. He just gets massacred by the remaining ballista. What I will try to do now is load before recruiting him, wait it out untill all the ballista have exhausted their supply, then recruit him.

[Sooks]

Hits in the 90s range missed counter: 2.

I mean, that's what I was saying. Kill all the ballistae around him, then recruit him when the area is cleaned up. Didn't you say he ran out of catapult shots? There's no reason to recruit him early.

And that’s chapter 3 done. Isn’t this where maddening is supposed to start sucking and become the worst difficulty ever made and completely ruin the game? It was still fun.

Oh and good news, I only had to use one divine pulse! Look at me being a fire emblem pro.

To me, chapter 3 was pretty bad but not awful, but I felt like chapter 4 was terrible, chapter 5 is, in my opinion, the worst main chapter in all of FE, and then after that, it gets pretty easy until chapter 12.

Except for the paralogues.

Those were Yakuza-1 Voice acting tier.

No, not really, that's chapter 13. To be entirely forthcoming with you, I was legit having some fun with Maddening until chapter 13 came around and went "oh what's that? Your Byleth is a mage? Claude got RNG-screwed and fell behind in levels because he was so weak? You let Hilda die as per the gameplay mechanics that we programmed? Well fuck you then, you don't get to play anymore!"

Oh yeah. Doesn’t the death knight move? How do I survive that?

Ahahaha, that’s a pretty good impression.

Ernst, please literally never activate any of your skills holy shit.

Lysithea/Hubert OR bait with someone who can survive a round, (Most likely requiring a str/spd rally) and whittle down with Knightkneeler.

Or go around him. Just watch out for the mages.

Until it happens to you. Your units on their way to all be wyverns yet?

I seem to recall he only moves if you enter his range. So yeah. That range might as well be a solid wall.

Unless you have Lysithea. Then you can just cheese him because Three Houses is a well balanced game.

Ernst: the one enemy in the entire game against whom Nihil is useful.

[Armagon]

I can't even do Flurry against Ernst.

Yeah, this map has pretty much killed any chance of my replaying the game after this. Yep yep, this is a one-and-done game.

Ohhh. I thought he was just automatically aggro’d. Wait, there’s a turn limit, I have to move fast. Dang it, I didn’t look at the turn count for the last map.

There is no way you can get A reason by chapter 4 without NG+.

Four of them. That should be enough.

Squishies that can obliterate everything are not at all unique to Three Houses, but okay.

I know, but if you're dead-set on the DKKO, you can grind him up to it in time. Possibly.

Whoops. Oh, well. I suppose I can't complain, I have like 20 different maps that ensure I will probably never replay Radiant Dawn.

Not really. If they're the four from the first batch in chapter 13, then yeah, might suffice. Might.

If they're from the second batch, it's softlock time.

[Sooks]

Hits in the 90s range that missed counter: 3.

This hasn’t happened before, why Three Houses??

There’s one in each group, except Byleth and Seteth who will both hopefully be wyverns.

I had the same experience, actually. (I think I missed more with TH than I did in FE6...)

I don't know, I would make everyone wyverns, just to be safe. I cannot stress it enough, this isn't merely me hating on Three Houses as always, this is me trying to save 30 hours of your life. Softlocking yourself in chapter 13 is REALLY easy. Take no chances if you value your time and effort.

There's no objective reason to have any classes other than wyvern except for like, a dancer and maybe a healer, and you haven't the room for either in chapter 13. Put those on out-of-class units, then focus your starters into wyvern, without exception. That'll ensure you'll make it. Probably. No prepscreen will screw you over if you forget to prepare for chapter 13 in chapter 12.

I actually made it through with no issues with only Claude, Byleth and Leonie as fliers, with the latter two being peggies.

[Acacia Sgt]

Aw yeah, wyvern squadron.

[Dayni]

Again, as someone who had only Byleth and Claude flying out of his initial group, yes R&D's a bitch and I suspect it'll be a little worse in SS with one less unit to work with. But the other units don't all have to be wyverns to make it.

The biggest issue in my opinion is dealing with the groups near the main two. Once they're handled I would argue the map becomes bearable. But yeah, fuck those first few (read: at least 5 unless you plan on LTC'ing it) turns.

It’s not actually that bad from what I’ve seen, I think. Besides, I can just prepare before chapter 12 since there is a skip with base level Seteth that I can use just in case.
