Fire Emblem

Don't talk shit about Setsuna, she's the best Hoshidan.

.... Nothing about the Conquest cast interests me. The only way i'd play it if I got was so I could kill them all off. And no plans to play for personal reasons.

Well shit.

Two of my three save files has Azura already re-classed.

And the third one is three chapters behind.

Guess I'm going with my odd plan or whatever.

At Chapter 13 right now. The other file is only at 10. The annoying port town that is only annoying if I want them Dual Club and Dracoshield.

Hinata is literally perfect.

Did you even read Hana's support with Felicia? It's probably my favorites of the ones I've seen.

Conquest Chapter 19: Kitsune Lair

For this mission, I brought along everyone who got promoted in the last one, along with Flora, who joined at my Castle when I started my play session. Anyway, things started okay, but I began to struggle toward the middle of the mission, and I lost a few of my unpromoted units. I did manage to prevail despite the map having enemies that phased in and out of untargetability.

After the mission, I saw my Avatar and Beruka's B support. I almost wept as she repeated the things she's heard people say about her, but then she goes and says they're all true. She has some real self-esteem issues, I'd say.

Today, on Alexa's journey through New Mystery.

Chapters 15x-18

Forging the remnant of the Win Spear proves its worth. A +3 Win Spear allows Caeda to OHKO Paladins and 2HKO Generals. Ogma is trailing behind on strength while Marth is trailing behind on speed. Although with speedwing Marth can hopefully double Paladins in the near future.

Replaced Malicia with Katarina. Not because I think Katarina is better, I just want to see the support.

Looks like Caeda will be busy for the next chapter.

Geist: Well, you can always reverse it with a Heart Seal back to Songstress (once you upgrade the shop, if you've already exhausted your current stock). If she does manage to find enough kills to get Shelter, it might have slightly more optimal uses than Sing in some niche situations.

That's not really self-esteem issues. She's simply stating how it is.

Conquest Chapter 20: Winds of Change

Wow, this mission was grueling. And those winds were annoying, with them occasionally splitting the party. It took me a few turns to completely understand how this map's gimmick worked. At one point Leo ended up on the section of the map where Hayato was, but he held his taking him on one-on-one until the wind blew him back to the rest of my party. But in the end, by the time I reached the boss, I was down to just Niles, Elise, Leo, and Kaze. This had to have been the hardest time I've had on a chapter without outright failing.

Anyway, Kaze managed to reach Lv. 20, and I've now promoted him to Master Ninja.

There are a select few characters that save the Birthright cast for me, especially Azama, he's the best.

I think the problem with the Birthright cast is that they feel like, for the most part, the "more-normal" half of a complete FE army, with the "more-troubled/strange" half being represented by the Conquest cast, so they come off as blander because they're mostly interacted with by fellow normies.

Yeah, I completely agree with that point.

Even so, I find it stupid how fans argue over which pair of siblings is "superior" and leather pantsing one side while death eatering the other. Thankfully, no one here has done it.

For the record, I like both sides equally.

You are now imagening the royal siblings in leather pants.

All of them.

Even the ones you don't like.

Psh, everyone knows Nohrian women don't wear pants.

Played through a bit more of the game today. Did the Rainbow Sage place and Fort Dragonfall, and managed to upgrade a few more people. And wow Azama is dangerous now that he can actually fight xD He took down a Faceless with a bronze naginata!

Also had a random enemy have an awesome moment in the Rainbow Sage level. Ryoma was in the last room fighting the general's guards, and one, a sword-user, attacked him. Ryoma dodged the hit, then Astra triggered for him and he charged at the guy, hit him once, then the guy dodged the other three slashes. I actually went "Holy crap!" because I've never seen enemies dodge a special ability before.

Well.

It's done. Beaten the Conquest Endgame. I forged a couple of excess weapons to get a bit more firepower, and focused on pushing forward. Got annoying when Corrin would proc Dragon Fang twice in a row, only for the enemy paladin to proc Aegis twice in a row, but I got there in the end. And I was able to finish a turn earlier because Kaze critted on the Hexing Rod guy, leaving me with a full dual guard to challenge the boss with.

Hilariously, Selena and Xander's endings contradict each other, due to Selena's ending almost always involving "vanishing from records", which is the exact opposite of the reformist king of Nohr.

Question: Which of the (Conquest) Paralogues are the hardest to do later in the game? Which are the hardest to do with the dad underleveled?

Ignatius' is quite hard, as you have to move Benny to him across forest terrain, and the enemies want to engage Ignatius.

Ignatius if you lack a way of very quickly travelling a long distance.

I've heard that Siegbert's paralogue is ridiculous lategame if you're playing lunatic.

Depending on how many effective tanks you have, you could struggle with Soleil's paralogue.

I'm playing on normal, thankfully. Usually, I'm talking missions that are hard even with escort—>talk—>transfer—>offspring seal. I've heard Forrest's paralogue is supposed to get pretty hard later on, is that true?

Ignatius's paralogue is absurd lategame- you need units that can get to Ignatious before the enemy and be able to survive the onslaught of ninjas (with poison strike!)

Siegbert's is incredibly stupid, and it's very easy for you to get overwhelmed.

I don't think any of the rest of them are notoriously difficult from my memory.

Chapters 19-20x

Caeda kicked ass in chapter 19, where she murdered Paladins left and right and I had to use warp skip thanks to asshole reinforcement. She unfortunately slows down in the next chapter where she couldn't OHKO Paladins. Aaaaand... more wyverns in the near future. back to the bench for you.

Palla's 23 speed is showing it's limit. She couldn't double the Paladins in Chapter 20. Meanwhile, Rody, Catria, Marth, and MU capped strength, speed, and some less important stats. Palla went from no.1 to no, 5.

Forrest's paralogue is a fucking nightmare if you wait too long.
