Whoops work was weird, been a few days huh
Let’s spring a trap, shall we? I have recently learned that trainee classes aren’t actually a thing the way I thought they were in that they have to promote the same way any other class does (or via the debug menu, which I may or may not make use of. we’ll see lol)
Who to take, who to take… we’re getting two bow users, so I can leave Sue behind and take Felix, and Gray will be useful… Robert and Hawk and Daisy are all strong, and we can take Zelestia too, plus our dancer? That should be good
I know I’m not posting as many images now that we aren’t getting as many new units, but that’s because saving screenshots either requires me to push a button that is mapped to select, or go through a whole file naming process, which are both kind of aggravating at a level which adds up over time lol.
Oh good, it’s only one turn before they get here, I had forgotten exactly how long it took! So far everything is proceeding well, I’m doing my usual thing of playing somewhat defensive and kiting ranges lol
They kept their inventories! I had forgotten about that, too, lol. Shouldn’t be too hard to have them meet in the middle and then maybe split up again? We’ll see
Lol a funny thing happened where I thought Hawk got a crit because the Pupil crit animation isn’t super evident right at the start, but then his NEXT attack actually was a crit, love silly shit like that
We got a room full of knights up here which to ME read as food for Katarina or possibly Robert
… actually they appear to be slightly sturdier than I expected. It should still be fine though, they have a 15ish% hit on Robert because he’s sonic the hedgehog fast
God but I love using my dancer on my healer
Oh I had forgotten about the reinforcements that might be a problem
oooooo a Kliff crit! The Parson crit animation is neat!
OH THE CHEST HAD AN ORION’S BOLT NICE Now that I know I need plenty of promotion items I’m gonna collect as many as I can since I’m using lots of dudes
Oh c’mon Robert missing two 86 hits in a row?? I mean at least you also dodged the other guy but he had 28 I would’ve been, like, ANGRY if that hadn’t happened, lol
Oh shoot I missed an archer there thank god Zelestia is tanky that could’ve been real bad
THE THIEF STOLE FROM ME AND GRAY ISN’T FAST ENOUGH TO STEAL BACK. RUDE. You’re lucky I didn’t need that lockpick of yours very badly and all that’s going to happen to you is getting beaten up by a zombie, loser
Katarina is doing SO nice <3 oh, and Hawk got another crit! On the second hit again, which is silly and kind of lame, but still fun
Just the boss and two more chests left! I’m wondering if the boost in growth rates may have been a mild error, but I really am pretty bad at these games, so I’d probably be doing way way worse if my stats were like three points lower lol
I definitely lucked out by getting Daisy with such a powerful monster weapon, but I haven’t been leaning on her TOO bad or anything I don’t think? I just contemplated letting her handle the boss but I’ll try other methods first, Tine has a Longbow we can try if nothing else although he IS an entire General
Other two chests were a Steel Bow, which I can’t complain about, and a Body Ring, which I’m not sure what to do with and will probably wind up putting away and never using lol
Oh shit in my FE8 playthrough proper my Franz died in the attempt where I finally beat the goddamn spider level and I didn’t want to go through it for the twenty seventh time for him, so I had no idea he and one of the two cavaliers with Ephraim are BROTHERS??? Wild shit??? I feel so bad now tbh damn
Alright with the combined efforts of every ranged unit I have I might be able to kill the boss before he can retaliate next turn. Let’s do some math
omg Katarina doubles him up close for like half his health and he has a 10 percent hit heck yeah – IT HIT??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT HIT??? OH MY GOD THIS GAME IS LUCKY I STILL HAVE A WAY TO BEAT THIS GUY MY LORD
Hawk gets the kill, because I had other options but I went with the one with the highest hit chance. Sheesh.
Oh right! I almost forgot we had one more character to meet after all!
I don’t know this person, but on name alone I trust them because I have a Cecil very near and dear to my heart.
Oh, and Lyon is Leila!! I had forgotten if we’d seen or heard about her yet but that’s a sort of tragically neat replacement. We’re also getting to see the replacement for Innes, who is – PFFFFFFFT –
AHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD. This is impossible to take seriously I have to skip this I’m sorry
Okay I have to pick a route before I can show y’all everyone’s stats so let’s contemplate… the units are all mostly the same, ofc, with a few exceptions, but Ephraim’s is a bit harder as far as my experience was when playing through originally. I guess if I want to be a Real Gamer I should go for that one… bluh, sure, I’ll make it work then I guess. I HAVE been getting pretty lucky so far maybe it’ll be okay. I’ll leave the file there for if I want to try Eirika’s later if I get stuck or something.
But then we do have level-grinding! I can always do that if I need to, we’ll be fine.
Now for the units who gained levels this chapter! Other than Katarina, who I can’t view atm but who I promise did great and is like level 9 now
Next time, we launch a counter invasion, and possibly see if we can get Sue some levels in the tower, who knows. See ya!
