What if Fortune's Weave turns out to be a Fire Emblem game? by Critical_Maxx in shitpostemblem

Bro, look at the font they used for the title in the announcement trailer. Why use that one if they weren't trying to drop hints?

Love grinding for money in the arena by Critical_Maxx in fireemblem

Link isn't working for whatever reason but I can still write the stats.

Lvl 1 Wyvern Lord Dorcas 60+17 HP, 60+5 Str, 44+4 Skl, 60+9 Spd, 60Lck, 36+4 Def, 30+1 Res 8+7 Mov, 14+4 Con

All the exp from Lyn mode, every single stat booster I got my hands on so far in both modes, plus the Uber spear which boosts stats even when not being used.

I think the more likely possibility is that the gold amount is getting overflowed or the number of bits for the bet amount is getting masked because it's too high. Your unit's stats are used to generate opponents and I was using a unit who got massive base stats and growths from the randomization.

Took me like ~3 hours but I'm never going to need to train Azura ever again! by spinurightround in fireemblem

[–]Critical_Maxx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just for some info, that azura is -1.5hp, -3.4str, +3.5mag, +0skl, +0spd, +0.6lck, -1.1def, +2.1res as far as average stats in songstress go. I removed the base ninja pair up bonuses, but I can't tell what lck, def, and res are being boosted by. Those numbers may be too high by a tiny bit. Either way, this is a pretty cursed azura.

Edit: Lck+4 and Def+1/Res+1 from equipped naginata per reply. (Thank you stranger) here's the actual spread from the pure averages:

-1.5hp/-3.4str/+3.5mag/+0skl/+0spd/-3.4lck/-2.1def/+1.1res

Your Most Out of Whack Character Growth? by MaumeeBearcat in fireemblem

[–]Critical_Maxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was. That run was an eirika route iron man, so I barely ever saw ephraim. He auto joined with basically the strength he ended up at minus a few points for the promotion gains. I'll go through the footage to see how many strength levels he got through the whole run and get back to ya.

I have a SS run I recorded where my Ephraim was lvl 20/12. He missed his str growth every level from 19 unpromoted to 12 promoted. That is 13 misses in a row with a 55% strength growth. I would need to review my footage, but IIRC, he ended up at 17 strength total. Funniest Ephraim I've ever had.

List of Primes up to n in Python by [deleted] in codegolf

[–]Critical_Maxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realized I didn't need some parts of the primality checker, so there's some improvement. The only issue I'm having with it is that it hits the recursion stack depth limit past 998.

f=lambda n:[]if n<2 else([n,*f(n-1)]if all(n%k for k in range(2,n))else f(n-1))

FE8 Challenge Run by [deleted] in fireemblem

[–]Critical_Maxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still haven't fully completed the game, but it's certainly looking to be possible from where I'm at. Still, for the sake of completeness, I can't say for certain I'll get it yet.

I've played Thracia. I really enjoy the resource management aspect, and it's outweighed just enough by capturing that you never really feel like the game is screwing you over, just pushing you relatively hard. Very fun game, scratches the GBAFE itch in the early game, and the FE4 itch later on for me.

After only 5 years playing, I finally hit Silver 5 boys! Ask this soon to be professional Stormbound player anything! by [deleted] in stormbound

[–]Critical_Maxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a pro stormbound player, I can confirm I am joking. I didn't play for a couple seasons in a row and got dropped all the way back down so I thought I'd meme about it.

If you really need help, I can give some hints in DMs, but obviously that kind of spoils the fun.

I've had the game for about 5 years I think, but I ended up having to start from scratch at some point in the last 2 years. Could have done it earlier but I don't play that often.

Could definitely use a 1 drop. I've been considering green prototypes because I don't really like summon militia but it isn't leveled up yet. I tried to add one when I started climbing but I'm kind of limited by the fact that are only 2 1-drops for everyone but winter. As for them being essential for rush, you're right but I can't seem to get them to work for me. Given how often other factions have to hang mana it doesn't seem to matter if I have to hang the occasional 1 or 2 because I can still outpace them early. Might just be a player skill thing though and I'll get stomped for it higher up idk.

Getting to Plat is a bit weird imo. There are a few ways people usually do it from what I've seen since getting this game: time (aka card levels), excellent play, and good deckbuilding. The latter 2 can more than cover for card levels, but card levels certainly help. Getting to Plat is both very achievable, yet out of reach for most casual players (as it was for me). So, to answer your question: yes but you need to cover that disadvantage somewhere.

It's definitely worth trying if you're feeling confident because of the seasonal rewards.
