You probably already know this, but just in case you don't:
I didn’t know this!
Oh I love this. Makes all of them feel more varied and customizable. Plus it's full of easter eggs to the past games. Lucina's bow for example is based on one of Lucina's alts in Heroes using a bow, most likely.
Double post, oops.
Oh, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I just find it funny how they have to paste some pretty unfitting weapons and proficiencies on certain Emblems because so many of them primarily use swords. Give us some more unique lord types IntSys.
I found the prologue fairly easy, my strategy was
Which ones do you think are unfitting? Pretty much every weapon and proficiency has some reference to a past game
I know that they aren’t pulled completely out of nowhere, but my point is that each Emblem, for the most part, is known for using swords. Giving Lyn bow proficiency, Ike axe proficiency, Lucina bow proficiency, or Byleth arts proficiency isn’t a complete asspull, but it’s certainly not their primary weapon, and is pretty clearly done simply because there are no lords that really fit those requirements.
Very true!
Jade is probably my favorite, too. I like her, Yunaka, Rosado, and Merrin a lot. Actually Merrin might be my favorite design/outfit in the game, she rules just all around.
To be fair we did kinda get one in Azura. IntSys just refuses to acknowledge her for whatever reason.
Give us an FE lead that is a pure healer without any means of attack.
You can, Leif's paralogue is designed around warping too (they give you a warp staff before the equivalent of this map in Thracia if I remember correctly). Chapter 25 is super hard if you don't warpskip the boss.
That’s good old fire emblem cheesing.
I don't think fliers get the avo bonus from forest tiles, sadly.
Nooooooo. I am always bad with strats like this because I feel like I'm skipping exp by making a beeline for the boss. I'll keep this in mind though, thank you.
It's a challenging map for sure, but it's absolutely doable. Putting a flier on a forest tile though is just poor understanding of the mechanics, fliers don't get bonuses from terrain. If you want to dodge tank a killer axe user on forest you need to make use of a covert unit like Yunaka or Alcryst/Etie with a mini bow. You can also just face tank with a high hp/defense unit like Louis/Jade, Diamant, or Vander.
Yes! This can get quite noisy visually but I often have the danger area on, plus any notable enemies' ranges lit up individually - in a lot of cases I know I can move a bulky tank into any sort of physical danger, but only if I'm keeping track of mages who would melt them. Same with fliers and bow users, or armoured/cavalry and enemy units with weapons that are effective on them.
I'm on 45 hours and only at chapter 17. I've only done one skirmish, but I am doing paralogues. For comparison, a 3H playthrough took me 80 hours and in general I am very leisurely with games and tend towards the higher playtimes.
Oh yeah, I did some Tempest Trials. I will also own up to not knowing I could press + to skip the interminable scenes showing skirmishes despawning and spawning. Legit the worst part of the game until I thought to just...try pressing buttons.
13% is 13%, how many 1%-5% crits have you gotten over your entire time playing FE?
I mean yeah, I wasn’t saying it was impossible for 13% to land both times, just very unlucky. It’s still a higher than 1 in 10 chance to hit at all and that then has a killer weapon chance of being a crit. Like I said, I play around those still being non-zero chances.
This is why I trumpet the rewind feature and feel it should never leave Fire Emblem yes I know for part of chapter 11 you don't have it, I respect what IS was going for, but I stand by time rewind needs to stop being an element of the narrative and should just be a qol feature for the player
It's only four per warp, right? You have to have your Micaiah unit standing in one of those spaces
Crit weapons feel safer to take that risk with in this game thanks to the break mechanic. I don't lose as much sleep over not getting 2x 30% crits to proc when the killing weapon user takes no damage in response. Course the ideal crit builds in this or any other FE are when you can get your crit to 80% or higher where they basically become automatic.
Oh absolutely! I know some people see restarting the map as their 'punishment' or whatever for a fuck-up but...I'm already a slow player, and I personally don't believe you need to be punished for a bad play beyond having to redo that play, learning from it, and having less wiggle room as your rewind charges go down. Use the rewind and take more chances! Put people in peril and hear their death quotes! Chapter 11 I think gets away with what it does since it's not a very long map so I can't imagine having to restart would be too awful.
It's only really an issue because you're locked into it until you finish it, and if you've been carried by emblems and not promoting your units chapter 11 hits you like a truck. The other qol improvement of restart and keep exp does help that issue though.
