Board 8 > Fire Emblem Topic 3: Sigurd for Smash

(+) Yeah! (+)

I did 16 last night too, not much to say about that one other than Devdan is....sure a character!

Every single unpromoted unit I use is level 18 or 19 and it's making me so antsy.

17 started.

Should I be worried about entering the map that the Fire Emblem help and database community was named after?

Kind of foreboding.

Stage 2??

We doing some Geneology shit here?

Ah, Day Breaks

Have to pause until after work, but I have now discovered that you still have to gain another level after 20 before promoting :(

Ike just capped too, hopefully that promotion isn't too far off.

Knew there would be more since there still wasn't a boss. Certainly stopping me from caving to get units to 21 with Bexp by not letting me go back!

Of course Astrid made it first, lol.

Astrid, for the record, ALSO in my top 10 FE girls.
I like Tellius girls a lot honestly!

Astrid might be my least favorite Tellius girl lol.

...Micaiah excluded.

PoR Astrid is great! RD Astrid not so much. Therefore she lands somewhere in the middle for me.

Ike at cap a blessing is disguise it seems, can hold on to this girl without a care in the world!

RD Astrid is only guilty of having horrible taste in men.
...Which probably would be a bonus for my chances if she were real anyway lmao.

Also I never got the Micaiah hate train but we can wait til RD comes around to talk about that specifically I guess.

I think Marcia and Astrid are my only two on my theoretical top 10 from Tellius though (but there would be a lot more just below it).

I just realized Boyd hit his unpromoted caps in both Strength and HP like 3 levels ago lol. Just a bit more exp for him.

Nephenee with the next promote!

And 20 levels in, Soren finally gets 1 point of strength, and can use wind without being weighed down.

It's still going!

I routed that map on turn 6 and just had to pick off straggling reinforcements.

So many promotions, it's like Christmas!

Boyd obliterated.

Wow your Oscar seems a bit strength and speed screwed.

Very good and reset preventing information to have that promoting on the map full heals your HP!

Illyana also at 1 HP with another attack incoming when she promoted, lol.

Ilyana been hitting the gym

The Virgin Soren vs the Chad Illyana.

Them Thunder Times are heavym

Guess all the calories she needs have to go somewhere!

I did it! Every single unpromoted unit I use save for Ike and Volke (I don't even know if he promotes) promoted over the course of the map. Went in with NONE of them promoted other than Master Seal healers. And I'm typing this as the boss is the only enemy left on the map. Unforgettable chapter.

Goodbye you fuck.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/9/9/AAeolZAAD5qH.jpg

Nevermind, just Volke!

And a portrait change to boot!

Need to use some of these skill scrolls.

I've given Counter to Boyd, Miracle to Rhys, and Vantage to Nephenee. I still have Gamble, Guard, Adept, and two of these Occult scrolls which I guess everyone can use now?

Any promoted character can use Occults, yeah. Different classes get different skills, but they're mostly not that impressive. Paladins get Sol, though, which is nice.

There is...a specific character the Occult scroll should be used on.

Is it Ike.

Because Aether seems really good.

And it's his Smash Bros shit.

So I assume it's Ike.

Yup.

Dammit, this is one of those games where mounted bow users can't use the Longbow. Gotta get Boyd up to D bows!

Yeah basically Aether and Sol are the best ones. Luna and Flare are alright. Colossus sucks in this game. Everything else is 'eh'. Astra would be really strong if it didn't eat up weapon uses like crazy.

I have been smothered in birbs.

All that work on Marcia and Tanith is just better, lol. Though she is 9 levels ahead, still sticking with pinky.

I ain't using...these Hawks.

I AM using Reyson, and if can't attack anyways....why wouldn't I just give him the Laguz Band? I usually give my Dancers boots, but if I give him the Laguz Band I assume he will good Mv already.

Oh it doesn't work on him.

Boots it isssssss

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/9/1/AAeolZAAD5rj.jpg

....I miss Xavier.

Tanith is one of the best units in the game and comes with a really, REALLY good skill.

I killed the fuck out of Shinon and just assumed he was unrecruitable. Whoops!

On my first run I tried having Gatrie talk to Shinon, and when that didn't recruit him, I just killed him.

Dammit, this is one of those games where mounted bow users can't use the Longbow. Gotta get Boyd up to D bows!

I think Longbows might actually be Archer/Sniper only in FE9.

I got my Brave Bow, it was attached to a big red haired tumor but I can scrape that right off.

In the last game the Longbow was just a fancy Steel Bow.

Now it works right but I can't use it.

PAIN

I appreciate Shinon's character. Some people, it turns out, are just racist assholes.

I feel like putting Wrath and Adept on the same character would be very strong, but who would I trust to be out there at half health?

Now that I can forge silver, I'm just making weapons for the future instead of trying to figure out what to make now, and it's liberating.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/7/5/AAeolZAAD5s3.jpg

No, my experience points!

Tanith is so good in PoR. Low-key one of the best characters in the whole series, maybe. Great design too.

Well there's nothing wrong with using 3 flyers I guess!

Got Calil, what a back breaking recruitment.

You guys say weapon exp goes quick but like...does it? Nephenee is still at C at 20/03.

Oh almost forgot.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/9/4/AAeolZAAD5tK.jpg

I mean thats cool and all but he's still using Knives.

...Fuck it, he's getting Gamble.

I'd say she's a good unit, but that skill is what bumps her up to one of the best in the game. They give you cannon fodder that actually has solid combat. But this game probably has the best fliers in the series. You know they're good when the worst one is still a solid prepromote.

No, my experience points!

I believe you get bonus exp if they retreat properly, and if none of them die you get an item? I think. I might be misremembering.

Yeah I think you get the Knight Ring which is really really good if they all live? The one that gives anyone Canto

Well fuck, missed out on that!

Your lust for blood has betrayed you.

Make sure to talk to the boss of the next chapter with Jill for a cool secret.

...They told me not to field her so many times <_<;
