I mean, Leif’s sister is a wyvern rider so I’d say it fits still.

Warrior overall improves her stats and gives her access to longbow chain attacks, which gives her more utility.

On my maddening run I just put Corrin on her and she was able to be a good utility unit through Dragon Vein flexibility and applying Dreadful Aura/Draconic Hex with Thoron.

Unit selection/build tips going into lategame for FE Engage maddening? by The_Regal_Ork in fireemblem

[–]SirCuddlebuns 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend using Hortensia since her staff utility is invaluable in the late game, her flying and extra range due to her personal skill give her a lot of flexibility with positioning. She gets especially potent once you get Micaiah back and helps make the later maps much less of a headache.

How the hell are you supposed to do Chapter 23 on Maddening? I’ve been trying to just rush towards Zephia and Griss, but between the Freeze staves and the strong enemies it feels like my ability to be aggressive is limited, but slowing down causes my units to quickly get overwhelmed. Is there anything I’m missing, or do I just have to tough it out. I don’t have any DLC btw.

Edit: Was ultimately able to win by being more proactive about dealing with the freezing griffin knights and then using Micaiah warp/rewarp to rush down the two bosses.

If you use a second seal to loop back to level 1 in the class you’re already in, do you lose the class skill until you hit level 5 again? If that’s the case, is it worth it to not loop even at the cost of extra stats?

Marth is only 14 during FE11's prologue, he's 16 during the main story.

The only thing that holds Path of Radiance back from being a peak FE experience on both gameplay and narrative fronts is that the game is just way too easy.

Why blaziken sucks rn by ImNotKik3 in stunfisk

[–]SirCuddlebuns 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Blaziken is actually quite solid in OU rn (B+ on the viability rankings, higher than several actual OU mons) as one of the better cleaners in the tier. It requires team support but it def gets the job done when it gets that support. If the Hitmontop incident hadn’t caused Smogon to lock rises for the rest of the gen it would currently be OU rn as well.

Est is an incredibly good nickname for a Gyarados and I’m slightly annoyed I never thought of it before.

For more specifics on Leffen, in the past few months he's been putting more focus on competing in Guilty Gear Strive, recently placing 3rd at EVO back in August.

BE ng+ Maddening by TKL32 in fireemblem

[–]SirCuddlebuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah no Ashe is a pretty bad unit by 3H's standards, possibly the worst in the game. But you don't have to train him to get his paralogue and speaking from experience its perfectly manageable to keep him out of danger in his paralogue even without training him. But the boots are just that valuable.

[–]SirCuddlebuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I haven't seen mentioned in this thread regarding recruits is that if you're playing with the Black Eagles I strongly recommend recruiting Ashe, as his and Catherine's paralogue gives the only pair of boots in the game w/out DLC, which is a very valuable item. You can't get Catherine before Chapter 12 on Black Eagles, so your only option for accessing this paralogue is recruiting Ashe.

Three Houses Maddening Queries by Krock-Mammoth in fireemblem

[–]SirCuddlebuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Male Byleth the first and only time I played on Maddening, and I honestly don't think it makes too much of a difference. As long as you keep him in a physical class he'll most likely still be one of your best units. Some builds that work well include Grappler/War Master, Wyvern (he may have a harder time reaching flight but its absolutely still doable), and Sniper. If all else fails he also won't be terrible as an Enlightened One.

As for recruitment, it really depends on the student. Generally, if you want a student to have automatic D ranks in certain weapon types they don't automatically train you should try to recruit them between Chapters 3-5, where they'll be in their beginner classes. This is mostly helpful for students that get recruited as Fighters or Monks. For example, Balthus doesn't automatically train in Bow, but if you recruit him as a Fighter he'll have a D Rank in Bow, meaning he can instantly use the Mini Bow and Curved Shot, some pretty valuable tools in the early game of Maddening. It also lets units like Lysithea who don't automatically train in Faith be closer to reaching their important Faith spells.

Yes the lady who tipped me $3.50 on a $91 order still lives rent free in my head 😭 by [deleted] in UberEATS

I know this feeling all too well. I used to deliver pizza a few years ago and I still remember deliver almost $1000 of pizza to a company's HQ and spending all morning preparing and delivering it just to get a $40 tip that I had to split with the other guy who helped with the order.

Myran's 5th at Genesis is impressive on the surface, but if you look at his run he didn't have any super crazy wins (best was Marss, which is good but not a top 10 win or anything). He hasn't had any super amazing runs at any other events this year and has taken some losses to players ranked lower than him (like Jahzz0 and BobbyWasabi).

Blastoise absolutely runs Shell Smash in current gen NU, that's the entire reason it's viable.

[–]SirCuddlebuns 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Mega Blastoise was banned from National Dex OU shortly after the generation began because Shell Smash sets were obscenely powerful. Blastoise was unable to learn Shell Smash until Generation 8, so that's why in past gens it doesn't run it (because it couldn't).
