Fire Emblem

Chapter 21: And just when you thought there was nothing worse than Siege Assholes: BAM! Siege Assholes that are also creepy Uncanny Valley golem things.

see when you said Chapter 21 my mind went to Binding Blade for some reason and in that moment there was nothing but Wyverns

I usually don't do Sidequest report, but if you managed to nab Caesar and Radd, Caesar would note that Kris has the same kind of eyes and heart like Marth, the kinds that will move the hearts of others...

.... Do I have to put a Sue point in this? For every single fuckin' praise Kris got? Fine. 0.5 point because Caesar won't say it if Kris is a girl. 4.5. (Nope, getting sucker-punched by Sirius in a Talk later will not deduct it)

... But wait. Last time, on the tracker with the Whitewings, I only gave 0.5, while I ended up giving 1 when it comes to Lang.

So... I guess I'll just deduce with 0.5, so the total's now 4. I didn't reduce the tracker for 'how many units survived' because it was blatant on "It was all thanks to you, Kris!" I fuckin' put Kris on the backline, only taking names as necessary instead of being a One-Man Army.

You haven't seen "siege asshole" until you've seen Staff Savant Inevitable End.

I'll admit, as much as a pain some of the Stoneborn can be (especially in the Boo Camp DLC where your units can't move on the map if they hit you), I honestly would love to see more golems in future games. They don't have to be Stoneborn in particular, but it would be neat to see different types of golems. Maybe the Taluses from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can make a cameo?

I do really like how weird the Stoneborn are, though- Headless giants' torsos with the Mouth of Truth covering their neck-holes, which they flip open to shoot rocks from like a cannon!

I like weird creepy monsters in general,though- I kinda wish the ones from Sacred Stones showed up more.

Their animations are terrible though. And the texture is all wrong.

If they ever do a remake of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, I hope whoever they get to redesign the monsters make them really, really weird and frightening.

Hell, I hope we get a future Fire Emblem game where we can fight all sorts of different monster types. And if we get a dragon character, they have the option of eating the monsters they defeat for extra EXP. Minotaur steaks and slime monster jello, anyone?

If we do get Stoneborn in future games, I hope they get different types of masks. The uncannier, the better. With the ultimate Stoneborn wearing Majora's Mask.

Ugh Camilla's chapter. AOE attacks and Silver weapons errywhere. Haven't even made it past the second room yet.

That's the chapter where Camilla goes full-Yamato Hotsuin right? "The Avatar will come back to me if I kill everyone else!"

Yeeeeep.

Wew, finished adding quotes to the Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light characters page. Now to change all non-transparent portraits to transparent ones...

The guys in this chapter are actually a threat to the Princes! Sweet merciful Dawn Dragon...

It only took basically the entire campaign!

Seriously, though, Ryoma still shouldn't have many problems. The default Swordmaster kit coupled with Raijinto gives him a deceptively high amount of bulk.

Ryoma is more broken than ten thousand glass bottles after being dropped on top of the world's largest building.

He goes down to Maids and Ninjas. I'd say that Ryoma's Sword is the broken one, not Ryoma himself.

Ryoma comes in with almost the right level and the stat bases to really take advantage of it, though. He's got significant natural bulk, Spd and Str, allowing him to safely sweep in ways that neither Hana nor Hinata could do if they had access to it. If he does somehow get wounded, his personal coupled with Vantage means things run a high risk of getting crit gibbed before they can even do anything. One level later, he gains Astra, which doubles for additional bulk (due to super charging Dual Guards, which he can keep sneaking in first with Vantage) and offense. Raijinto may be a key component, but Ryoma as a whole is an insane ball of self-synergy.

Really? I'm always seeing him go down in the clutch moments, but that might just be poor tactics on my end.

"YOU HAVE BREATHED YOUR LAST!"

New Mystery Female-Only Playthrough

Chapter 19: The Final Battle

We reached Archanea. We bring the Empire to its own foothold.

On the barracks, Julian gets Frying Pan, Kris gets 28 exp, Etzel get useless exp, Dice gets Luck Potion, and Elrean gets Polish.

On talk, we get a vague hint to get the Wolfguards, our recap of what is going on, and Kris has a 2nd convo with Est and Est had a first talk with Minerva. Speaking of that, they reference Gaiden on that talk and tomorrow is the release of Echoes. What are the odds. Also, Est had 2nd convo with Palla and Catria.

I sold some of the useless junk like obsolete weapons and some of the weapon from the barracks. I don't know why I keep those weapons, I sold the one with weak stats, even if they cost nothing.

Onto the chapter, we all moved to the enemy. That is all.

Reset #36: A ballistician oneshotted Phina because I was a moron and forgot to give Minerva a Poleax. Forgot the range and had to dance for the resorting the items.

Reset #37: Kris try to attract the Paladin. Screw their 10 movement and also, screw that Paladin with a Ridersbane who hit a 33.

The flyers took care of the Warrior in the Knorda place and stopped the thieves from destroying the village. Meanwhile, Malice attracted the Paladins. She dodged a 58 which is good because she nearly could of died, especially since she critted a lot of them.

Vyland arrived way sooner than he should. I decided to warp Marth to the village to get Roshea and this is pretty much the recruitment chain for the Wolfguard. Roshea recruit Vyland and we killed the subordinates.

Kris attracted the Horseman and Sedgar, all the while enemy reinforcement came. Vyland recruited him and we had to make a fortification against those reinforcements, several use of the Rescue staff have been used for this, especially when Palla killed that Ballistician in the upperright of the corner.

We braced ourselves for the enemy wave, thankfully, no one died.

On the house, Hardin is now evil, executing prisoners, Midia's motive for rebellion, wedding ruined everything, Midia is fucked, and Archanean army is evil.

We begin moving into the gate of Archanea, after attracting some of the enemies, including Wolf. Norne stood on the fort and took down the two Horseman by the entrance. And fuck the final part, because there are ballistician everywhere. I gave Phina an Angelic Robe just so she doesn't get oneshoted.

Reset #38: Phina got hit again by those Ballisticians again. That was where my decision to give Phina an Angelic Robe came from.

Kris attracted Wolf and Sedgar recruited him. After that, we rush the remaining enemies and killed the boss before seizing the throne by warping Marth to the throne.

Both Roshea and Vyland bought stuff.

End of chapter, and Boah fucked over everything. At least he gave me a Thoron and Physic.

He's not invincible, so he can't be thrown into just any crowd, but with metered aggression, he can sustain combat through many turns with much less risk to himself than any other units barring maybe Corrin or Xander.

I call complete BS on that video. There's no reason for Ryoma to get astra and crit on almost every damn attack. For me, he'd be dead by the second general.

You underestimate the power of Ryoma. I've thrown him into a group of Lance users and had him BS his way past all of them during Enemy Phase.

The older brothers in general can solo half the map if you're so inclined. Xander can only take on physical enemies though. Ryoma can take on anyone, but it relies more on luck, and while his dodge is very good, he's still a dodgetank in Fates.

No. I've overestimated Ryoma's bulk, and had him impaled with knives.

And it's flat out hax when he's getting that many crits AND astras in one battle on an average crit rate of 30%. Plain and simple.
