We needed a thief and I thought VelvetKitsune got fox girls so why not go to their stuff as a cunning fox thief works. Yes she has Nihil, no its so she doesnt have to worry about being in range of op skill builds.

So, since I saw Hunter’s Bow, I think I have a good idea
Add Partisan (Shamsir/Wo Dao Lance which only Soldiers can equip) and Splitter (Shamsir/Wo Dao Axe which only Brigand/Pirates can equip)

marcelfe · July 25, 2025, 3:25pm

I forgot about Quake’s animation

Pkherogamingyt · July 25, 2025, 4:02pm

on every map, have there be an enemy that must be killed or else you risk crashing your game. For example, having their battle animations set to the pointer of their map sprites.

AlexYTXG · July 25, 2025, 4:08pm

add a green unit that just instantly kills that enemy

Shadow_the_halberdier · July 25, 2025, 4:13pm

(If there are any story changes, replace Frelia with an equivalent country.)

Skills:
Base: Wary Fighter
Level 10 Unpromoted: Relief

Level 1 Promoted: Chivalry

Bane: Speed

If allowed, I’d also give him +1 con over the mage class’s base.

Endgame Quote: “I’ve come a long way.. Though I may not yet know the true ways of a knight, I know I must end this, here and now!”

Misc:

Could Montana’s mage sprites be replaced with these hatless ones? I personally think the hat makes mages look kind of dumb in the GBA games.

Could you swap the healing values of the Renewal and Relief skills? I find it weird that Relief has an additional requirement yet heals even less than Renewal.
Okay final one I swear. I just want to lock in that specifically promoted mounted classes such as Mage Knight, Ranger, etc. keep their 1 lower movement compared to Paladins like in vanilla FE8. I think it’s a fun bit of balancing. I don’t care if someone wants to give Troubadours 7 move though.

AlexYTXG · July 25, 2025, 4:29pm

You must now protect a kid every single chapter (and if you change the story add references to it)

Death Quote:
Looks like this game… wasn’t for me…

Misc:
As an alternate choice you could also make a personal dark tome instead since I don’t know how people add other weapons to existing classes

Shadow_the_halberdier · July 25, 2025, 4:52pm

If you want a skill there is another called Imbue which Heals you for your magic stat instead of Renewal’s 30% of max hp but id say renewal is better cuz it doesnt risk you relying on your magic stat to heal.

ZenHeadbutt · July 25, 2025, 4:53pm

That works too, As long it’s a self healing skill it’s fine.

PM_1000 · July 25, 2025, 5:08pm

Do you mean celerity as that level 10 skill? Celebrity isn’t in the skill list

Also this looks pretty balanced for a unit (maybe even a little underpowered?) considering how much power creep there usually ends up being in pmes (just look at some of my submissions if you want to see some stuff that is borderline broken)

ZenHeadbutt · July 25, 2025, 5:14pm

Now that you mentioned, they do look pretty broken. I guess I’m gonna increase the growths. It’s my first time building a unit for PME so I may be a little lost.

PM_1000 · July 25, 2025, 5:19pm

Yeah trying to hit the growth cap is one of the first things I do when building a unit for these, mostly so that they can keep up with other units and the custom bosses

The other thing I do is try to get 4-5 skills that really work well together so that the unit scales well. For example, Odin (one of my submissions from earlier today has hex and anathema to mitigate the effects of really dodgy bosses and vantage, sol, and tomefaire to mimic the sol ninja/sol mage build from fates

PM_1000 · July 25, 2025, 5:41pm

Quick gameplay edits:
Armor knights now have 2 of lances, swords, or axes
Generals also now have bows

Can I reserve innes and cormag for tomorrow?

Shadow_the_halberdier · July 25, 2025, 5:44pm

Why have a speed growth with warry fighter?
