It’s not the end of the world, but it’s the end of one world. And its rebirth will take more than just this chapter…
Act 2 ends now.
Surprisingly, chapter 10 proves to be the most mind-numbingly boring episode I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing through so far.
See, if you don’t care about side objectives (and we CAN’T care about them, our units are puny and our weapons disintegrate even as we speak) then it’s both a straight and VERY NARROW shot to the boss. Feels like ⅔ of my turns were spent moving a dozen units from point A to B one at a time with no decision to make or danger to account for. I came to play Fire Emblem and spent two hours trying to fit fifteen sardines in a can instead.Anyway, today, we slay. And fortunately for us, the boss is armored, which means plenty of vulnerabilities to exploit. We’ve cast aside the treasures and there’s no hostage to be taken this time, so it really is a straight line to the throne.
So let’s talk interesting trivia instead !
Kalevi managed to steal the speedwing in this chapter. Drums of War only features ONE of each stat boosters, so these will be used wisely - an extra two speed can be the key to hitting a dire threshold later on.
I’ve completely failed to develop most supports I’m interested in - namely Clio and Donagh, Clio and Connacht, Rioghain and Connacht, Donagh and Catsidhe and Clio and Dzeneta. Only Donagh and Connacht succeeded.
Deadeye keeps breaking bones like an absolute chad and Dzeneta is proving incredibly slippery.
Roxelana has a very cool dialogue with Tryphon but I wasn’t going to risk a 70% roll for the style.
Also man, these supports really take a long ass time to build. I’m going to finish the run before I see an A in late joiners.
Current plan is to have Clio/Dzeneta, Donagh/Caitsidhe and Connacht/Rioghain in A, plus Karolas and his not-thief support partner.
ALSO also, I’m shocked to see that Caitsidhe is now not ass.
