Heirs of Fate is not as hard as I was fearing. Had to savescum to beat Shiro, though. RNG is still a bitch.

[up][up]I want to mod my copy too if only to give myself legit versions of the folks who can't join you on Revelations, and reduce the necessary grind for DLC items from Hidden Truths, Heirs of Fate, and Royal Royale.

But I don't know the first thing about getting homebrew on my 3DS.

I've hit a snag on my quest to 6 Turn Heirs of Fate End.

Anankos doesn't attack on the Enemy Phase of the turn his head becomes targetable. Him attacking during EP is absolutely vital to my strat, and I'm forced to waste an extra turn just because of it.

What is Heirs of Fate? A hack?

Oh wow, Heirs of Fate 3 is stupidly easy. You can literally solo it with Shiro.

Eirika is kicking a surprising amount of ass as a Bishop in my FE 8 play through. Although now I need to look up if Shamans need Guiding rings to promote. I want to be able to use the early Fenrir tome I snagged at some point.

No idea of what is going on.

[up][up] I think that's almost the intention. No one else on the team has the same durability or damage output as Shiro and the amount of enemy units is pretty spammy.

[up] Unless the randomizer changes which classes the promotion items work for, Guiding Ring is used with all magic classes, including the Shaman.

Alright, so I'm finishing up Chapter 5 of Genealogy of the Holy War. I already know what's gonna happen after I finish this chapter (Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies), and the game not-too-subtly implies that the heroes are about the meet their end after this ordeal. But it's still a pretty solid Player Punch, having so much fun developing and building up these characters, sometimes forgetting that they're going to be killed off halfway through the game.

ANYWAYS, TIME FOR PAIRINGS:

  • Lex/Ayra
  • Jamke/Adean
  • Beowolf/Raquesis (this was originally going to be Finn/Raquesis, but Finn leaving with Quan and Ethlyn after Chapter 3 caught me by surprise so that was not gonna happen)
  • Lewyn/Ferry
  • Alec/Sylvia (this was a complete accident, I swear I barely used Alec, I don't even remember this happening)
  • Azel/Tailto
  • Holyn/Briggid

While you can theoretically pair up anyone with anyone else of the opposite sex, it's really stupidly easy to do for some pairs and really hard for others, between uneven events and uneven shoulder-rubbing gains.

Regardless, you look set for Gen 2. Just mop up this border conflict and it'll be smooth sailing.

Pairing Finn up isn't a very good idea, since it means when he rejoins with Leif he's basically naked. Moreover, it'd take a lot of shoulder rubbing.

What you've got there is more or less the standard set of pairings. Minmaxers go for Lewyn/Tailto, since it means you get a divine weapon at the very start of the second gen.

It will never make sense, in FE6, that by the time you get her the supposed strongest mage of the most magically powerful country on the continent will almost certainly be weaker than the plucky self-taught orphan you picked up at level 1 in chapter 3. Etruria really let their standards slip after Pent retired. tongue

They should release an FE where the skilled veterans really are 100% better units than the fresh-recruit-full-of-potential types. You know just to dick with people's expectations.

Camilla and Ryoma do it in Fates. The other royals need some help, but don't take too much to get there. Many of the Corrinsexuals are pre-promotes and are quite strong in one route or another (Scarlet, Shura in Revelation, Reina in Revelation).

Leo is also brutal right off the bat. Xander is less impressive because he is a tank, but as far as tanks go, he is phenomenal.

Corrin: I and the contingent of twelve will cut off the enemy. Xander will hold back the enmy at this key chokepoint.

[up][up] Leo's growths are a bit on the lowish side and he doesn't start out overpowering things in the same way as Camilla (or even Xander + Charlotte), so it's very easy for some to quickly fall behind and never recover. This happened with my Conquest run, but he happened to luck out and get slightly better than average stats in Revelation, which did let him snowball to an extent. He was still never one of my front-line sweepers, though.

[up] That should be Xander and Charlotte (or Xander and Kaze). tongue

If you have the ability to, you should reclass Leo to Dark Flier.

Leo didn't really impress me. He's an OK caster, but fairly fragile defence-wise for a pre-promote. I'd expect defences like that on Felicia, not a dark knight.

He's a good counter-mage, but that means nothing in a game where magic is uncommon, and classes often have physical weapons to fall back on.

Leo is definitely better as a Dark Flier- it boosts the stats he wants and gives him Galeforce which he makes great use of.

I find it interesting that in FE8, Ephraim's and Eirika's routes can't both "happen," because, among other things, whichever side you pick gets all the named characters. If I were in charge of a remake I think I might change that, pull a RD Part 4. Then again RD has more than seventy characters...
