This time, for the sake of getting Norne as well as Gordin!
So yeah, here's how everything went down in the Prologue before we get archers.
Prologues 1-3: Finished.
Marth & Abel: Killed everything. The end.
Prologue 4: Finished.
Beginning: Sacrificed Cain and Frey to the Sable Order, since I need two dead units before the end of the chapter or else I can't get a second archer. Frey rode in to valiantly get impaled by them, and Cain cosplayed as Marth to lure them away.
Jagen: Meatshielded for Gordin when they were still in the little compound that we found him in.
Gordin Soloed his way through the chapter once we got him, soaking in the experience from the enemies front line after they opened the door thanks to Jagen's meatshielding. The pegasus knight reinforcements also helped. He then just sort of stomps on the remaining foes, and Marth grabs him a steel bow from the village, which he uses to take down the enemy captain.
Captain: Engages in a ranged duel with Gordin, which Gordin prevails in thanks to his steel bow.
Ending: Marth seizes, Draug comes to lead him off, and Norne walks in and joins the party! Two archers now. Cain is then found out for the fake he is, and dies praying for Marth's good fortune.
Alright then, that was a pretty easy start. And now we have two archers, which is all we'll have for a bit, especially until chapter 4, when Reclassing becomes available and we can fill in some empty slots.
Up Next: Chapter 1, nothing much to see, although we get Caeda, who I will likely use as a reclass unit for later. She can't fight until then though.
Comment Question: Would you guys count Ballisticians as bow units? They have their own weapon type, but they are commonly archer related in other games, and I was wondering what you guys thought.
