What's the deal with negative growths?

Hi everyone.

I’m just curious here, and have been wondering this for a while.

What do you guys like about Negative Growths patches? Do you not end up soft-locked sooner or later, when your units are unable to beat the boss, or do these patches provide for that by reducing the boss’ stats?

  1. While I do not like negative growths, to some people it makes the game more challenging and nerve racking. I do not confirm this but I do believe someone has beat vanilla fe8 and 7 with negative growths.
  2. It depends on how smart and Lucky you are. Some people do end up like that and if they think it’s impossible they nerf the enemies.

Why do you ask this question do you want to attempt one?

You need to minimize the exp you get or else your characters will get weaker. It’s an interesting challenge.

True especially when it comes to your “good” units.

some people like the extra challenge, you really need to think about every drop of exp your characters get, plus it turns the once exciting level up screen into a drawn out trial deciding your fate, that’s a really cool way to make use of how flashy the level ups are.
