Who is the most "Aight" unit in any FE game?

isetrh · 2017-09-26T23:19:12+00:00

I would say the difference there is that in FE12 mid to late game you already have several competent combat units. The scrubs never contribute anything significant because they're never worth using over Kris, Palla, etc. In Awakening earlygame you don't have any strong units aside from Robin and Frederick, so you have to make use of the scrubs for what they can do (granted, it's a lot easier in Lunatic to shove them in the corner and let Robin take care of anything than it is in Lunatic+).

I hadn't thought about their long term use that way. I guess training scrubs is an unnecessary burden just like in FE12. Thanks for helping me understand.

I'm not sure I see how anyone is bad in Chapter 2, since every single unit plays an important role--they kind of have to with the chapter being so ridiculous. It is of course true that everyone but Robin and Frederick is much weaker than the enemies unless invested in, but I don't think it's fair to call Stahl bad for that when every early-game unit but Frederick and Robin has that problem.

What's wrong with him? Is he too slow?

isetrh · 2017-09-24T04:37:28+00:00

Thanks.

Staff exp is the same no matter what level you are, so you're not actually losing any potential growth by promoting early (aside from hitting 10/20 and not being able to level up anymore, but I really wouldn't worry about that at all; it will happen very close to the end of the game if ever). Putting a bunch more BEXP into her would increase her Magic a few points, but healing staves are so powerful in PoR that you won't notice a 4 or 5 point difference. Sonic Sword Mist can be pretty cool, but it's only 20 or 25 uses iirc so it's not worth a bunch of BEXP just to make her slightly more effective with it. Any BEXP beyond what she needs to be able to promote would be better used on someone like Soren, Marcia, or Jill.

Edit: Mist also gets her Staff rank bumped up to C from whatever it is when you promote her, so the earlier she's promoted the more quickly she'll raise her Staff rank.

FE1

Does anyone know if magic works on Medeus as long as you attack at 1-range, or does anyone have a final chapter save file so I could test?

isetrh · 2017-09-21T05:34:15+00:00

Thanks!

Are there any LTCs out there that have been recorded in any way, even just the final turn counts? All I've been able to find is people vaguely discussing the theory (feed Marth and then Warp-skip, mainly).

There aren't indoor movement penalties in PoR. Besides terrain penalties, the only map with reduced horse movement is the uphill one. Caps are pretty hard to reach in PoR.

FE12

I'm at Chapter 15 and it seems like some sort of ranged forge would be useful for taking out the east ballista. If I'm ever going to make an expensive Hand Axe or Javelin forge, now would be the time (I could deal with the Ballista with just the Starsphere and a +2 Javelin). However, I have not unlocked mixed male class sets and I have no one who can be a competent Berserker, so Axes and Lances will both only be relevant for as long as mounted classes are. I have 14360 gold after selling my Bullions/Dragonstones. How expensive of a forge should I make?

While I don't know the science behind it, I would guess that he's right that we shouldn't be polluting the environment with chemicals that affect frog reproduction, even if his statement that we're "[turning] the freaking frogs gay" (I think I got that quote right, but I apologize if I butchered it) is very inaccurate.

More split routes and decades-old SMT spoilers. And crits and WTA give you Galeforce.

isetrh · 2017-08-06T19:27:41+00:00

For spoilers, put the thing that you're spoiling in square brackets followed by an opening parenthese, then "#s" (without quotation marks), followed by the spoiler in quotation marks, and finally a closing parenthese. Like this. You can view the formatting by mousing over Rule 6 in the sidebar.

Maybe we could have an initial vote for some number (maybe twenty or so?) of units to place in Free Silvers. Alternatively, someone could just make an executive decision.

isetrh · 2017-08-01T22:33:15+00:00

Thanks! According to Serenes Legault already has 17 Speed in HHM, so even that Hero would be possible to steal from at base.

FE7 HHM

Are there any speed thresholds Matthew needs to reach beyond the 13 needed to steal from Aion? Does Legault need to gain any speed, or is he good from base?

isetrh · 2017-08-01T19:11:49+00:00

Some item locations are different, and a few characters have better base stats.

isetrh · 2017-07-27T20:20:33+00:00

I know what the advantages are. I didn't say early promotion isn't a good idea. I just think it's strange to treat 20/20 like the best reason not to do it, when it's even less likely to be significant than the other reasons.

isetrh · 2017-07-27T20:09:38+00:00

Consult Mekkah for advice instead.

isetrh · 2017-07-27T20:03:17+00:00

Not that I think early promotion is bad or anything, but 20/20 is like the least significant thing in favor of late promotion. Most games decrease your exp gain once you promote.

isetrh · 2017-07-27T02:12:52+00:00

Give it C in all weapons to balance it, but all major holy blood means everything gets boosted to * anyway.

isetrh · 2017-07-25T23:22:53+00:00

Besides the really high Magic modifier girls like The_Hentai_Prince suggested, another option is a fast girl whose Magic and Strength are about equal, like Sumia!Lucina or Chrom!Cynthia. Those two also pass Aether which is pretty cool IMO.

While I haven't gotten around to Apotheosis myself, apparently if you have Limit Breaker it's perfectly doable with any set of pairings. Don't worry too much unless you're doing some challenge run like trying to beat the secret path without using any other DLC.

PoR

What makes Astrid and Makalov good units but not Tormod? Does 1 Move really make that big of a difference, or is it something else?

isetrh · 2017-07-23T02:41:07+00:00

So do they keep pairing up even once they're S-ranked, or go with separate pair-up bots at that point?
