Fire Emblem Warriors Spoilers Thread (Beware of unmarked spoilers!)

Also is that butler Taco Meat I spy?

From what I can tell from my phone's screen, Camilla is getting a new costume that makes her look younger/boobless. Might be based off that throwaway line of Beruka's.

It's a maid outfit.

Where are you getting that idea?

It's this outfit, the outfit for the Maid class in Fates.◊

She's just covered up with what looks like a maid outfit (and for some reason, I feel that if Heroes ever gave her a maid outfit, it'd look just as sexualized as her default lingerie armor). Not to get into another Camilla's Appearance debate, but I always liked how she looked and always felt that she'd look better if her default outfit wasn't as blatant as it was.

I need to get back into this game (among others; I'm actually puttiing off getting other Warriors titles until I'm done with this one), but Pokemon (and soon, Final Fantasy XIV) is currently eating up most of my time. I think I got the season pass for this already, so I'm looking forward to this.

Like I said, I was using my phone (so smaller screen). Didn't recognize it as the Maid outfit.

So, dumb thing I'm doing because someone I know idly wondered it and my main save is my streaming save, so I don't want to end up doing new History Mode maps off-camera: a story run with no crests (I think the Medicinal I is mandatory for one of the twins—haven't tried too hard to bypass it, but it's easy enough to ignore the extra charge entirely), no smithy and starting on Hard. I've completed all of Hard so far and am four missions into Lunatic without any foreseeable issues other than that the AI partners are idiots and will stand right in the siege attacks when siege tomes are a thing, which might make those maps needlessly complicated.

Notable highlights of the run thus far:

• It really emphasizes just how dumb the effective weapon multiplier is. 12-14-Atk weapons are still enough to completely wreck its targeted type late in the game. For this reason, these restrictions heavily disfavour lance users because they only get the Heavy Spear late in the game
• Armorslayer Lianna is somehow still revelant as a general damage dealer in the maps after recruiting Ryoma, Xander and Corrin.
• The twins actually have a pretty ridiculous infinite that doesn't require any crest upgrades:YYYX -> YYYB -> YYYB -> YYYY/YYYX (YYYY if about to cause a crit) -> YYYB -> etc.. The animations and hitboxes are so tight that the enemy literally can't do anything if execution is right, even if they tech (because YYYX is active for so long) and they die very quickly because there's not a lot of wasted time in the animations compared to other characters. In fact, if they tech off of getting crit, then that makes them more likely to get hit by YYYX's stun exposure. This allows the twins to safely ignore any stat disadvantage and just ruin any enemy uncontested. Then they get their Prf weapons and it's all over. The only thing that can kind of check them is lances, but not really, because...
• Axe Dual Strikes allow what's inevitably going to be an all-sword front-line to just not give a damn about lances. Yes, even though Fred and Lissa are stuck with the Bronze Axe/Halberd and Camilla's Axe eventually starts to also fall behind. Granted, there's only three axes to go around, so the next best option is Sakura, providing at least a neutral gauge against everything, massive damage against fliers and possible emergency healing.

Got the Siegfried scroll after two tries. Marth had his fully upgraded Exalted Falchion with Ridershane to trivialize the entire thing, but I did too well on the first run and couldn't get the 2,000 kill count.

Lissa's AI is also wonky. She's supposed to travel around to make the map an Escort Mission, but on the second run she didn't leave the base at all.

Short version, Fates DLC is coming on the 21st.

Huh, wasn't expecting a simultaneous international release for the DLC. Neat.

So I went to the wiki to look up Weapon Attributes (they don't have a list btw) and found out that every character has a legendary weapon, like Robin getting Thoron. How do I unlock those? The wiki says squat there.

They're not actually in the game yet, there's just placeholder data for them. They'll likely come with the DLC.

Serenes Forest's own wiki has a list, by the way. We've gotten a lot of the FE Warriors content finished, as a matter of fact.

Just unlocked Anna. Beat her mission using people at level 62. Took about half and hour, but was easily doable.

I feel like once you make it past Brave Weapons, maps start to slow down considerably. I think the numbers behind are that up until that point, you had strength/magic and weapon damage scaling up at the same rate that HP and defence/resistance was scaling up. But you reach the strongest weapons only halfway to the cap: so now defensive stats will scale up twice as fast as offensive stats, essentially turning everything into a slog.

I guess that's where they expect you to be well underway in stacking smithy bonus attributes and inherited skills. Pair Up+ with Strong IV and V, plus Lunastradarity for everyone!

Funny thing I noticed while routing a Hard speed run with no training grounds: Lianna > Rowan, even when he's chosen as the main twin. I initially thought his raw Str would outweigh Lianna's availability advantage, but not only does he have major EXP issues (it's hard to justify him doing anything other than secondary tasks when Chrom and Lucina are right there with their prfs), but in skilled play, Lianna is actually strictly better because her crits more then compensate and the player should be constantly landing crits.

Related to that, a poll for everyone who still checks in here: on The World Tree, how many of you are under the impression that the real Gharnef only ever spawns in the right-side location?

I think he was always in the same location for me.

On the right side? I'm trying to establish correlation here, since his location seems to be manipulable, but I'm not entirely sure what factors into it. This is dealing with pretty small sample sizes, but a friend has always seen him on the right and, up until recently, that's been the base for me. However, I've had a handful of times where he's spawned on the left. Out of 15 times playing the map, I've gotten him 12 times on the right, 3 times on the left and never in the middle. This leads me to believe there is something in the map that easily influences (and can be stumbled upon more often than not by player with map clear times that vary between 2.5 and 15 mins) where he spawns, but what that factor is, I have no idea.

My current strat is just to always go for the right, then left if that fails, since I haven't figured out how to manipulate it, but the thing is, then that represents a ~20% chance to just arbitrarily lose 30-40 seconds on a map that typically gets cleared in 2.5 mins. Noooot really great.

I've played it on all 4 difficulties, and from what I remember he's always been on the right side. Don't think I've touched that map since beating Lunatic though.

It's always been lower right for me.

Ironically, I only noticed when I was aiming for the Anna gift, and didn't properly understand how the task worked.

Why does Together to the End have a mandatory Bows Only mission? You only get two bow users via the story, unlocking Anna is insane, and Niles is DLC.

Because your suffering gives us power.

So that Sakura and Takumi can kick names and take ass.

So Sakura and Takumi don't feel left out.

That's one of the missions where you just want to beat and leave the S-rank for way later. Putting a dragon slaying skill on your weapon helps a lot as well.
