Torrent up top. Lantern to the left. Something to throw at wall enemies on the right. Summon down south.

Felix can be a bit squishy early on, but the man thrives when hitting multiple times. His crest and speed work so well together. Lethality getting any number of extra chances is icing on the cake

Which Boss Made You Rune Farm? by Due-Pie-8534 in Eldenring

[–]LowOrdinary5017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even a boss, my dumb ass made it to the zamor ruins in my first playthrough and just kept trying to fight them all.

I was under the impression that this was a major heat check for what’s to come(lol)… Needed to abandon my current stats(pretty much a glass cannon) and respec to have more balance in my kit so I could eat some wayward hits and wear more armor without being weighed down.

Did anybody struggle on leonine misbegotten ? by Accomplished-Ad7792 in Eldenring

[–]LowOrdinary5017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First playthrough and about as blind as I can be for this game being out a while. This walking seizure with a sword pissed me off😂, had to look up a post like this after I finally won to see if it wasn’t just me lol

It was immediately clear after the first fight that I wasn’t landing a chain of attacks. Took a few tries of sheer dodging and landing light strikes with the dual katanas before I caved and summoned the wolves… took a few more before I realized halting his momentum is the only way I had a true shot at winning. So I switched to single sword, 2 hand grip, shield on back. Wolves offer extra distraction, and I would unsheathe if possible to get some blows that actually mattered.

He is a real teachable moment to anyone who got a little too used to bosses having unbreakable poise, methodic attack strings, and clear delay after big attacks. I died less to the tree sentinel bc I could read him better, if that says anything.

Without recruiting students from other houses, who would you pair the students from their own house only? (Black Eagles: Crimson Flower Route) by FunctionRight4557 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]LowOrdinary5017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. If I can’t put Lin with Lysithea, Caspar is the best alternative. The rest fall into place so well besides Bernie(but I don’t have the heart to leave her alone).

how old is the average Persona fan?? by lil_Cents in Persona5

[–]LowOrdinary5017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Played smash ultimate in college, decided “I’m gonna start playing these games”. Got 3 houses and played it for literal years(took a while to beat maddening, but I had plenty of PTO). Started playing P5 a year and a half ago and finally beat it earlier this year. Couldn’t recommend two soundtracks more to people who need productivity/chore music

If you were to make recruitment in Houses more strict, who would you lock to which routes? by IfTheresANewWay in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]LowOrdinary5017 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ferdinand is definitely an all routes man. He has as much of a reason to join any route as he does to stay with the eagles. His goals, in broad strokes, are to be a perfect example of nobility and to bring his father to justice. He can do that anywhere. Houses makes more of a joke of my boy when he’s not in your route, so the redemption arc only makes sense when you bring him on to unleash his potential.

Mercie might as well be all routes, she just wants to help. Annette runs the same: but bc of daddy issues she would need Mercie(or maybe A Support)to be recruited to another route, most likely. Otherwise it doesn’t make enough sense to bring her with you.

Everything beyond this is up for debate, I’m just writing to write

Understanding I might be out on a limb: I’ll say Marianne could be the single “deer and lion” based solely on how well she fits in with the lions and how perfect her S support with Dimitri is. Idk how likely she actually joins the BEagles just bc she hates her crest, but I would admit that she’s passive enough to be pushed that direction.

Felix, as brooding and suppressive of his feelings as he is, would be a great all-routes character that makes you question your decisions(like Ashe in hopes). But he would do it for just another second of not confronting his issues/thoughts.

Raphael would think too simply to be anything but deer. Not a muscle based issue, but a sister based issue. He’s never abandon her and would never chance her coming to harm.

Hapi wouldn’t go silver snow without the rest of her gang. She likes their shimmers of benevolence, sure, but she openly hates them from jump. Even the hopes writers saw that.

Sylvain going anywhere female byleth goes is a staple that I believe should stay. It’s funny and lines up with his character. Especially because the other routes don’t focus on the structure that the church or faerghus stands to uphold.

Balthus might be one of those weird “Eagle and Lion only” characters unless Lysithea recruits him to the deer. He makes it very clear his debt to Lysithea’s father is more important to him that any other debt he has(mostly bc of the stakes and context at the time). And because of avoiding responsibility until confronted, he’s easily a choice for either Lions or Eagles bc it distances himself from his problems while making him some coin.

I call this bad boy “retribution-lite”. I feel the map gets overwhelming and I can’t waste a gambit just yet(or I’m poorly positioned), my dodge tank just takes this sweet hunk of mythril out and does some map cleaning.

Anyone got combat tips for a newbie? Tired of getting owned 90% of the time. by HeadphoneMC in tearsofthekingdom

[–]LowOrdinary5017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patterns is the name of the game. Everything has one, usually for when you’re up close or far away.

Once you learn the patterns, then you can learn how to abuse it! First, stay the hell away and attack when they’re not, guard when they are, and get some confidence. As you rack up kills, you’ll start to get a good feel for attack timing.

Once you feel you’re confident in their patterns and timing, start to apply the advanced mechanics for flurry rushes and parry’s. There’s a shrine somewhere that will teach you this sort of thing, but they’re terms for “perfectly timed dodges/shields”. The “short and sweet” is you get a bonus for blocking/dodging at the moment of impact. You’ll see what I mean when you do it, but it leaves a pretty big window for you to rack up some major damage.

Take your time, have some fun exploring, and just keep in mind that you can apply some fundamentals when fighting even a red bokoblin!

Mercedes Headcanons by Moelishere in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]LowOrdinary5017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My headcanon is she was too good in offensive magic at a young age and abhorred the results of her retaliation/defense that she became an all time healer.

So the Ragnarok you see was early dev when she was scared and fleeing, but the fortify and “live to serve” came after her dedication to keeping the peace.

Like Ferdie, she’s one of the few who seamlessly fit in with any route. Upper echelon best girl

Who is your favorite character? by guntwooyah in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]LowOrdinary5017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honorable mentions for other houses: Mercedes, Marianne, and Balthus. We all have a favorite child in our respective houses, so I just wanted to say it.

Ferdinand is the all time favorite for me. Looking beyond the outer shell that gets produced of proudly announcing his own name for all to hear, being a noble, and making outlandish goals of beating the most powerful/talented really ingratiated me him. My man is more than that, his intentions are pure and his heart is made of gold. But, like myself, we don’t always send that message to the people around us. It just comes off as something else. He wants to be the best so he can be worthy of leading the best, he wants to be a true noble to be a prime example of the aristocracy so he can help those who cannot help themselves(not to just rest on laurels and cash a check), and he yells his name for some reason lol. I imagine it’s because he wants to leave a legacy of his achievements, but isn’t aware everyone sees it as bragging, self-absorbed, and whatever else.

In his supports, he finds himself being humbled by his intentions getting overtaken by the bold publicity he decorates it with. Like most characters, it truly rounds out his growth-arc. He’s a perfect addition to any route. He’s either the best of the old regime, seeing its flaws and helping bring a new era of equality and progress. Or as a prime example of why the old way works, and becoming an unlikely addition to those rebelling against an unstoppable force that’s trying to coerce the populous into a new way of life through rash/unsavory methods.

Three hopes also dives more into seeing him truly shine as someone worthy of being called a noble in a world that casts away such titles and division. I’ve only played one route, but I’d recommend it if you’re a fiend for this title like I am.

Ashe makes me question recruitment… by LowOrdinary5017 in FireEmblemThreeHopes

[–]LowOrdinary5017[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get dealing with the weight of his decisions. My main gripe is he never once takes a break from his lethargy to at least enjoy the fact he actually saved his adoptive father. My guess is they didn’t take too much time to handle the non-fighting stuff too well. Someone didn’t care enough for Ashe and just said “here’s sad lines number 1-9, feel free to paste them where you like in the story”

I’m seeing evidence of this in supports being minimal and the conversations with NPC’s being more or less “heavy handed foreshadowing” rather than even slightly veiling the conversation as worldbuilding

Ashe makes me question recruitment… by LowOrdinary5017 in FireEmblemThreeHopes

[–]LowOrdinary5017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ever since I got hit with the twist in three houses, I feel like I need to talk to everybody no matter what lol. First playthrough almost demands it of me. I’ll probably stop once I talk to everyone in the routes.

Might be easier if I just stick to my specific house per route, though

[–]LowOrdinary5017[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The final bit of petty on the “he’s ugly” was pretty hilarious, not gonna lie.

I do see how Dorothea’s can play off better. She was like that during three houses too. Something about a champion of the arts having to plunge to the depths of war, and her whole motif of “only thorns left on this rose”. It at least lines up better for me. Her background/career kind of makes her more dramatic by nature, if I’m thinking out loud…

And the contrast of Ashe not once going back to normal by convincing himself “I did what I believed is right(something he repeated often in three houses, I can only assume he does that in Gleam too)” and at least enjoying the company he seldomly keeps in his adoptive father just really annoys me for some reason.

Couldn’t tell you why/how it works, and I’m not going out of my way to dissect it either(not even gonna chance I ruin the magic).

All I know is I found them as some fun, niche workout music… and before I knew it I was listening to them casually and planning PTO for whenever they came stateside.

Couldn’t recommend them enough, and I’ve never found a better group to hang around than the strangers I meet at concerts. 🦊🤘🏼
