This...is Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.
Cred Forums plays Fire Emblem 10
As previously promised, I'll be playing through Radiant dawn on normal mode, carrying my save over from the Path of Radiance playthrough.
As well, I'll be adding one extra rule to the normal rules: Meg will be treated as a Lord. She must be fielded on all missions possible, and her death will be treated as a Game Over. I will be keeping a separate Game Over counter for her deaths.
...
youtube.com
Starting off strong with some of the AMAZING voice acting from this game.
>Meg will be treated as a Lord. She must be fielded on all missions possible, and her death will be treated as a Game Over. I will be keeping a separate Game Over counter for her deaths.
Is this going to be an everyday thing like with FE9?
SHES SPECIAL!
hopefully
Remember that worthless piece of shit thief from FE9?
He's a story-locked thief LORD now!
And he's a fuccboi!
Micaiah has special hair and can see into the future!
Are you gonna unlock the special conversations Nigger?
cant. That's only possible on subsequent playthroughs, and Ike didn't S-support with Soren.
>fielding Meg
That's not even a hindrance. DB chapters are mostly defend chapters or ones where she can just hang back while OP units destroy everything around her
>Ike didn't S-support with Soren.
First off:
>S
Second:
What the fuck is wrong with you? Why not?
Probably got him killed is my guess.
assuming I GET said units
thread voted he support Lethe and B-support ranulf.
Soren got benched.
Trash. All of you.
Let's take a look at Micaiah Sue.
40% 15% 80% 40% 35% 80% 20% 90%
She has a super special unique skill called Sacrifice that lets her heal allies at the cost of her own HP.
So you've never played normal mode, from start to finish at least?
I'm going to expect a few game overs.
Is it safe?
>2 80% and 1 90%
inb4 she doesn't cap any of those.
I hope this playthrough helps you show that Micaiah actually isn't a Mary Sue.
It's alive?
>Connection Error
HIROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And here's Edward.
85% 60% 5% 65% 60% 50% 35% 20%
His Skill, Wrath, boosts his crit rate when he's at low HP.
we back?
>Nigger starts an RD thread
>The whole site dies
Bravo. You've really outdone yourself here.
Oh boy the second Coming of Makalove and Jill
oh SHIT
we back!
If we're using Meg, we better be using Leo, because that guy gets a pimping outfit in the third tier.
Where did we go?
she fails too much to be one.
she's still my waifu tho.
nah she'll always cap those.
resolve is great for him
>Jill might not die this time
Is it just me or does it look like she has an eyepatch on in these caps?
>his left eye
Is he gonna be the new Jack the Ripper?
I hate how Shove and Canto take skill capacity.
>waifus
>not dying
Did you already forget what he just finished yesterday?
(O light, gather Open my path…)
>Replaying GhebFE right now
It's like a time capsule to 2007 Cred Forums with all the outdated memes.
>Jill
>not dying
Cool, we're back.
Also, I really hope someone with more talents in editing can do something with this.
Couple questions:
Was Lord Meg decided on in the TactHack threads? I missed a lot of those.
Also, should we avoid reaction images so Nigger can get as many posts in as possible?
>Cred Forums
>Not spamming reaction images
Tact if you're still here, there's a typo I found. "Managed" should be "manage"
>2 crits already
goddamn Edward, you haven't even taken a hit yet!
post what you want, we'll never hit image cap unless you spam. This isn't a storytime.
as for Lord Meg, I decided it.
Nigger decided on the Meg thing a while ago, he must defend the honor of his waifu
>Lord Meg
Was decided since like PoR, although I don't think he mentioned restarting until now. Rather just see her die once and move on.
>should we avoid reaction images
H-HAYAI
HE'S FAST
>has a super special pet
Micaiah has a special kill quote on this chapter.
>Pet is actually a fragment /avatar of a Goddess
>should we avoid reaction images
Just for that, I have to repost this.
Nigger, I know what you should play next, or look into next.
FE:Bloodlines.
Maybe.
>try to bait out an enemy to give Leo or Micaiah Sue a kill
>dodge, then crit
GODDAMN EDWARD, CALM DOWN
I never realized how true this ended up being before now.
Myrmidons ain't nothin to fuck with.
I have a big-ass list of what I should play next.
There are no breaks on this train.
>this fucking webm
Derpward actually gets a good first level.
>someone finally gets a hit off
...
>defense
Promising. Maybe you should give him the dracoshield?
Was there a way to skip map animations in RD? I remember seeing a speed run video where they didn't seem to play but I have no idea how they did that.
...
...
...
THE MADMAN
HE DABBIN
After you finish the game once, you get the option to turn them off completely.
I thought there were 4 animation options. Full, Map, None, and Solo. It should be None.
Edward is either going to be a monster or die trying.
Oh boy.
You ready for a LOT of levelups like this?
seems like someone turned off his pain inhibitors
>no HP
>no Speed
>no Defense
This is gonna be fun.
holy shit thats nice
thats a typical micaiah level.
...
>Edward soloed pretty much all the bandits
>Micaiah sue took credit
At least its MAG and SKIL
But no HP or SPD?
TactNigger is better than she is.
Can we agree right now to never give her bexp?
She hardly needs it
They're just taking pity on her for her shit level up.
Yup that's Micaiah
You ready for a while from now when townspeople worship her as a goddess?
What's that? You like villains with some depth to them?
TOO BAD! Enjoy Begnion.
Something in your setting is causing the faces to look funny. I've had my share of trouble emulating Radiant Dawn. I've played through it, but the game really loved to freeze when I opened chests or an enemy dropped an item.
I don't understand
>Micaiah is heralded for her super non-staff healy powers
>As soon as she promotes she can use staffs, nullifying the need to EVER sacrifice, even though she really shouldn't be in the first place
There is no way this could end badly.
she is the best unit ever, don't you see?
Sacrifice can heal status and heal.
Remember, this is all Ike's fault for winning the war.
Not Ashnard, for massacring thousands of innocent crimeans just because he wanted to go full Armstrong.
She does if you want her to have any health or defense. Although, that's assuming she actually caps shit before she hits 20. My Micaiah's never cap shit except Res until she's level 18 or 19. And so she ends up deadweight staff bitch for end game cause she can never take a hit, double, or avoid getting doubled.
>Making Begnion bigger and stronger
>Crimea not blue, Begnion not Green.
healing status is pretty nice in endgame.
well techically if ike lost, daein would've been better off.
MICAIAH IS SPECIAL, DONT YOU SEE?!
If Ike lost, goldoa would have eventually gotten involved and the dark god would have been released.
HERE WE GO BOYS, IT'S TIME FOR THE BEST UNIT OF THE DAWN BRIGADE
To be fair, she's pretty much the best staffbot in the game.
That's one of the things that I didn't like about the Down's Brigade chapters, a lot of it was them acting like their country wasn't the aggressor in the Mad King's War.
Are you doing that to their eyes, or is it fucking up on it's own?
That's not Elincia.
not like she would know that, if she's a mary sue then she should be all knowing.
thats not very mary sue for them.
We dindu nuffin, we wuz gud bois, we were turnin' our country around until that racist Begnion Empire oppressed us.
Well, that's true to real life, though. I can't imagine we're not expected to roll our eyes at Daein's nonsense, especially because that's what everyone else does in Part 3
>Sothe winking
It made me read everything he said in a sarcastic tone. This is my headcanon now.
Wrong pic, user
>years later you realize that micaiah's mary sueness was pretty tame compared to femui
>fighter with no strength
No but why, IS. Why give him excess resistance in exchange for lower strength growth when you fight a grand total of 10 mages in the entire first 3 chapters as the Downs Brigade.
Alright, I didn't show off our new recruit last chapter, so let's look at both our new guys!
First off, NOLAN! The NUMBER 3 NON-SUBHUMAN UNIT FROM PART 1!
60% 45% 20% 70% 60% 60% 35% 40%
His skill, Nihil, cancels out enemy skills.
emulator bug. I'm also getting sound glitches.
It's obvious that he's doing it.
My, how far we've fallen.
definately, kinda hilarious in hindsight that anything that was worth bitching about in FE10 is now nothing compaired to 14
He turned out to be a fucking monster last time I played.
Honestly, I've come around to thinking that Ike is also a bit of a Gary Stu, in the sense that he's the overly stoic, action hero, really cool type. Of course, because he's cool, we forgive him for it.
Although, I really don't like how they handle Ike in RD.
kinda sad how much i prefer micaiah over corrin's bullshit
And Leonardo! One of the worst units in Part 1!
60% 40% 15% 75% 35% 65% 35% 55%
His skill can occasionally cancel enemy counterattack, which is terrible on archers who will usually be picking off range-1 enemies.
45 % isn't that bad, although he won't really be capping it without BEXP
If Meg is your low-tier unit you'll use anyway, Leo is mine.
Seriously, why does he have Cancel? Would've made more sense to switch Leo and Ed's skills.
Something else to note:
They introduced new healing items.
Herbs heal 10hp
Vulneraries now heal 20hp
and Concoctions heal...I think 40 or 50.
Threadly reminder that this what Sanaki would probably look like as adult.
the myrmidon who wanted to use an axe
>soldier with no speed
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Like seriously, why isn't he just a knight? He's statted almost exactly like a knight.
In fact everyone in the Dawn Brigade is statted weird as hell.
Sothe has strength like a fighter (and still the tiny strength cap of the thief line making it pointless)
Meg has the stats of a Pegasus Knight
Leonardo would be better suited to be a mage if they swapped his magic and strength
Aran is a Knight without the downsides of being a Knight. Uh, I guess that one's okay, still weird as hell, and Nephenee just outclasses him because she's an actual soldier and not a knight in disguise.
Everyone in the game can be a monster with enough sunken experience and bexp. But Nolan will never ever cap anything until he becomes a Reaver because his growths are so funky. And he requires so much extra experience to make usable versus Boyd.
I think they did it on purpose.
Check out the new Tellius artbook if you feel like it. There's some cool background history and lore for the world, too.
>why isn't he just a knight?
Last I checked, Soldiers/Halberdiers/Sentinels don't take damage from armor slaying weapons, so that's a bit of a bonus.
Since many DB units have weird growths considering their class and Leonardo has at least somewhat typical growths for an archer, they figured they should give him a totally pointless skill instead.
You must have missed the previous dumps. We all got depressed that Fates didn't have that level of world building.
Yep, DB is the bizarro-growth brigade.
This isn't even the first time IS has made an archer who'd be better as a mage. Why would they make a successor to fucking Ronan?
Nolan is still going to be the carrylord of the early Dawn Brigade chapters.
>DEF
impressed.
Nephenee is a myrmidon in disguise, buddy
>Never played Thracia 776
>Check Ronan's stats
why whats the point of this
>Talking shit about BASED Ronan
Watch you tongue, heathen
>nigger STILL hasn't turned off the ugly ass grid
S-surely there are magic bows in Thracia, right?
Grid's fine fucknut.
Here's Sacrifice at work, kids!
Magic is also Res
:^)
>5% defense growth
>Still no Speed
Double attack NEVER EVER
Miracles do happen sometimes
Hey, Leo's my main DB boy; I love that guy and his Loonasay, and his bitching coat.
Wow, even Ronan got a better skill than Leo. He'd have been much better with Adept, not Cancel.
Honestly I hated every single member of the dawn brigade.
But then again they're forced playing 2nd fiddle to Ike in a game without supports meaning they have no way to really make any character of themselves.
Magic is your Resistance stat in Thracia. If you give him a scroll that boosts his strength and defense, he becomes really good.
WELP
This is what I get for not actually checking the damage the enemy can do.
...
Come the fuck on, man. He had a promising start.
Good job Nigger, a promising loss on the first actual chapter.
>Death this early on
Lack of supports is annoying, and Base Convos are just not enough to support this large of a cast.
There's a bunch of cut A-rank conversations from RD, and some of them would've been pretty cool.
We could have shipped Edward and Sanaki together, which IS apparently does.
OH COME ON, NIGGER. IT'S THE FIRST FUCKING CHAPTER
'>Chapter 1
>units are already dying
This is gonna be fun.
WE should have seen this coming
See
>losing any of the downs brigade at this point causes a game over
Forgot about this.
>that quote
Echoing the thoughts of us all.
>you will never be as bad as Nigger at FE
You shouldn't be using bow units in Thracia 776 anyway.
Also Magic = Resistance.
I mean, it's the Myrmidon that can't dodge, but still. Come the fuck on bro.
For fuck's sake Nigger. You lucked out this time since that's game over.
>killing the killing machine
Please restart.
Thank goodness the game doesn't want any DB members to die this early. The game saved you from your own stupidity.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Zihark>Mia>Edward>>>shit>>>Lucia
That's what you get.
Kek. Exactly what I was thinking.
>SPD and LUK
won't happen again.
Stefan is the best Trueblade you shut your whore mouth.
I agree
But stick Stefan in between Zihark and Mia
If anything, we can look forward to the great death quotes RD has.
topfucking lel.
>Zihark>Mia>Edward>>>shit>>>Lucia
I don't know, user.
now THESE circles don't look right.
FUCK YES
THANK YOU, Cred Forums, FOR HAVING FAITH IN MY FAVORITE UNIT EVER
I LOVE ALL OF AND YOU AND ESPECIALLY NIGGER IN FACT I WOULD KISS YOU IRL
Did the models always look that fucking terrible? I know this is a Wii game, but come the fuck on.
holy shit, his eye.
>Edward's strength
I thought his strength growth was shit, or was that a different stat?
...
no, edward has the lowest speed growth of the swordmasters, but the highest strength.
both are 60%
USEFUL

Stefan(Would be top if he didnt come so late)
Mid tier
Edward
Shit tier
Lucia
Edward has the Growth yes but he doesnt have the adept spam and the Volug support which you want yes or yes in hard mode
Oh and i forgot that you can boost his base stats with PoR transfer data (Str/ Spd/Skl/)
This look better? I tweaked with the display settings.
that grid certainly doesn't look right
Yeah, that's better as long as it runs fine for you.
>highest strength
now I know I was RNG screwed. When he became a swordmaster for me, he wasn't killing anything. Though, this was a long time ago, so maybe my memory is foggy
Looks decent.
Mia can actually hit Tier-3 without babbying/BEXP forcing unlike any of the non-Stefan trueblades.
Mia also has a natural support with Ike which Ike appreciates (hit and attack) and which makes Mia unhittable.
it happens bro, RNG screwage is a thing
>No Speed
She's not going to double anyone anytime soon, but she's useful for Thanibombing cavalry and knights and staffbotting, but that's it.
What the fuck is this blurry shit? Use at least 2x native.
Download the HD pack for FE nigger.
Those actually look really nice.
*teleports behind you*
what do you think I'm using?
I already know she's useless, I'm just fucking around.
yup. I seem to have it every time I play for half my characters in every FE game I play... except for Pegasus Knights. Those bitches always seem to get stacked levels every single time. I don't even like Pegasus Knights, but I use them because they've never failed for me and I need SOMETHING reliable.

>no witty comments when they escape
oh come on.
WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, HUH?
Doesn't Micaiah reprimand Edward on his PoV?
And anyway...
>I'm a random boy
>suddenly there's a way
>our country loses it
>I resent them
What is wrong with this?
I meant him getting killed.
>WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, HUH?
He was right, he's never gonna get killed again. I hope
...
Which FE games actually have good archers that use bows?
I'M NERVOUS
WHATIFIHITER?
Fates. And, uh, just Fates really. TactHack count?
>Speed and Luck
Holy shit, he is TRYING to not get killed. You've done it, Nigger. You've made the game sentient.
map models, yes; if you use a free camera cheat in dolphin, you can see just how "detailed" they are.
Fates and Awakening once you class-change.
Blazing Sword had some nice archers
Radiant Dawn
Radiant Dawn and Path of Radiance both have Shinon, the archer with more defense than knights.
Fates is very kind to archers. Takumi gets a Prf bow that is outclassed in damage output by only an S Rank bow and literally lets him walk on water and Mozu makes a very good archer, too.
a lot of games do, the problem is just that archery tends to be inferior.
but 6 has nomads, 7 has rebecca, 8 has vanessa and innes, 9 has rolf and shinon, 10 has shinon.
toppest of keks, mein freund
3-13 Archer is no mere bowman, he is a living legend, a legitimate god amongst mortal men.
MICAIAH IS

P

C

A
L
The man, the myth, the legend; 3-13 Archer
...
The harder difficulties of FE12, 13, and maybe 11 had archers be pretty good, because of the nature of the games' enemies being impossible to just expect them to kill themselves on their turn.
If I never played a FE game before, which one should I play?
I can't wait until OP gets to my waifu, Chapter 2-E.
Wil hits like a truck
Rebecca is sanic
Rath is alright but personally I find he shows up at awkward point in the game.
7 or 8(the NA released GBA titles) are your best starting points.
"Fire Emblem" for GBA.
It's the first one released in English and does the best job of teaching you the mechanics.
Sacred Stones.
Shinon honestly just breaks the game once he gets levels.
If it weren't for the fact archers can't hit adjacent units until you get the Double Bow you could outright solo the game with him.
Times like these I wonder why Nigger isn't playing on Hard.
Blazing Sword on the GBA, simply called Fire Emblem. It has a tutorial made for people new to the series.
The GBA ones or Path of Radiance
I believe 7 (the one for the GBA simply titled Fire Emblem) or Path of Radiance make the best points of entry in the series. 7 starts with a super duper hand holding tutorial if you feel like easing into the game.
Fire Emblem 7 and Fire Emblem 13.
Fire Emblem 7 was considered as babbies' first Fire Emblem game before 13 stole it's crown. Fire Emblem 9 is also a good start.
Crossbows can hit at 1 range.
Hard Radiant Dawn is actually Maniac Mode. It removes the weapons triangle, significantly boosts enemy stats and reduces experience gain by about 1/3rd. Oh and more enemies spawn, especially reinforcements.
you mean Maniac?
because I want to actually beat it.
Sacred Stones or Path of Radiance, maybe Fire Emblem (first GBA title) if you're really unfamiliar with strategy games.
>not just shoving him full of crossbows
You're not living your life correctly.
We wouldn't even get past the first part, he lost Edward on the second fucking stage.
...
Crossbows are shit weapons with static damage that end up doing less damage than iron bows because strength gain is so ridiculous, and only exist so the AI can fuck your fliers with a weapon with near 100% hitrate.
I managed to beat it when I was like 14, Nigger should be able to complete it.
Is this a crucial as fuck unit in part 1 that becomes useless after it?
I think it IS!
have you SEEN me play?
Do you know who were talking about here?
Fates
Shinon is good. Rolf too if the game lets him be.
Rebecca and Norne have always worked out for me.
Why are all the dawn brigade so god damn bland looking...
Wil and Rebecca have garbage bases and their growths are nothing special.
Rath joins too late to be much use.
Fliers are hardly a threat and bows only deal 2x bonus damage.
1-2 range weapons will do the job better.
can't have anyone detracting from Micaiah sue, can we?
You do realize TactHack had like a 70% mortality rate, and it's not as hard as RD's Hard Mode?
Because they're a literal bunch of nobodies.
I've seen a number of his runs, but it's definitely possible.
>tfw Laura is a pretty decent unit and a good light magic user but you have a light mage you must deploy every chapter
Luara becomes a magic Berserker.
Use her.
Its always funny what things you miss
Also Rhys exists as a prepromote who doesn't need to waste 4 staves on 1-2hp scratches just to be able to start doing damage.
So much of Radiant Dawn is
>look at this guy, he does a thing
>this guy does the same thing but better
Laura is such a qt. You better not get her killed nigger! Oh who am I kidding. It's just going to be a matter of time unit it happens.
She also has really good growths, but being a mage really limits her since they're as slow as knights.
In before he get her killed in the next chapter.
And here's our first experience to a new mechanic of RD: elevation!
climbing up ledges costs a lot of movement depending on your class--armorknights have to be right on it and get to move forward, for example, while thieves and subhumans have little penalty at all.
You can't climb up ledges blocked off by units, and shooting rng2 weapons upwards cuts your hitrate to impossible percentages, while shooting down raises it and does more damage.
That was also something completely new so makes a bit of sense.
It's gonna be Waifu Holocaust 2.0, brother. Hold me.
That's would be a game over, she needs to arrive to win
BRAVO NOLAN
The prison is actually a hard chapter so I'm expecting at least 1 gameover there.
Nobody in the Downs Brigade can actually die in these early chapters so it's ok Nigger can be a nigger all he wants.
So we'll get another game over.
Leo has a bizarre LUK stat.
At least Meg will live to see the endgame!
It's insta game over if someone dies in this part of the game though.
>Even in her icon, she's creating afterimages
>please kill me it hurts to be in the Dawn Brigade
Fates
Tacomeat and Niles are literally impossible to fuck up
S-she's fast...!
>Tacomeat
You mean Camilla's own personal fuckboi?
What Dolphin version are you using? Why it's always fucking up for you?
And here's our prepromote!
SOTHE!
30% 60% 20% 80% 45% 65% 20% 30%
his skill lets him take hits for adjacent units.
Whatever you wanna call him. He and his lobster older brother can and will steamroll the game if you let them.
It is a decent level up.
>more damage
>luck is actually worth something in Tellius canon
>literally +40 Hit/Avo/Dodge
Personally I hate Niles, sure he's fast but his skill is so low its doubling on 70% hit rates.
I just don't find him reliable enough.
5.0. It worked fine for PoR.
By adjacent units he means whomever he's supporting, with higher chances the higher the support
oh my god I had no idea these threads were a thing and were a super comfy thing at that
keep up the good work nigger
>10 has shinon.
Also Rolf.
>implying Rolf and Shinon aren't useless in 9
Did you turn texture filtering off? It's usually what fucks the portraits.

>def
Impressive...
Dat hp tho
Maybe we can get some more sweet tips and tricks on how to be a good tactician.
Something else to note:
The downs brigade is poor as shit.
To buy shit they need, you're going to need to steal...a lot.
Get bodied and try again?
Anyone got tips for Elincia's gambit? I'm struggling to win every time I try the chapter mostly because it gives you a ton of Laguz that aren't ready to transform yet and a lot of units that can't ORKO the enemies.
Hold the line.
I bet there are those of you wondering how the fuck micaiah sue is supposed to kill ANYTHING.
The answer? A stupidly powerful tome that WRECKS armored units....like the stage boss so happens to be!
Choke some points.
and so our mediocre light mage can just SHRED this boss!
turbo elincia forward.
It's good to make scrap metal and glue.
...
Well she sure as fuck isn't going to double anyone, so she needs some help to be actually useful.
Use choke points, use Elincia to kill shit.
There's a tile wide chokepoint near the doors they break down, use it. Keep Brom on the stairs, I don't think there's anyone there that'll ORKO even if he doesn't have good stats.
Why do they give armorkilling effects to a magic tome? Knights already have pitifully low RES. Why not make a tome that is effective against Anima and Cavalry?
Well I mean, doesn't every lord except for Alm, Celica, Sigurd, Seliph, Leif, and Corrin get a armor/horse effective weapon?
Use Elincia to snipe thunder mages and archers, use your heron to let her do this twice a turn, always pulling her back up to safety afterwards.
Send Nephenee and Brom to the right and stem the flow around the sand bags. Relegate Elincia to healer once you've sniped the threats in 2-3 turns.
Send Harr Mordecai and Lethe to the left and body the fuck outta people on the stairs, don't let them flood, block the first stairs asap.
With any luck and assuming your Brom and Nephenee aren't trash tier you should be pushing the doorway on the right by the time Geoffery shows up. Harr should have killed most of the enemies on the left by now too, as long as he has a ranged weapon of some kind enemies will try to attack him from low ground while he bodies the stairs and he'll fuck em up good with the high ground advantage.
micaiah's is especially good.
OH shit we back?
I hope your using my boy Edward till the end, he has a great third tier outfit.
BEST GIRL
Elincia is actually good? Honestly I never used any of the female protags (Miciah, that Empress-Bitch, and Elincia) outside of the few chapters were they were all I had. Are any of them worth leveling?
...
Where you @ Micaiah
Out FUCKING gained
What is it with these LPs and getting INSANE healers
Only because they stopped acting westerners are retarded and put effective weapons back at 3x. 2x is fucking painful to play with, may as well not have weaknesses.
For
Micaiah
Only
Elincia is fucking STUPIDLY good, I'd say the best flier not named Haar.
Micaiah sue is shit except as a staff bot
Sanaki is an est, and comes with some incredible magic.
Doesn't Laura usually have better Mag at promotion then Mikky?
Too bad she has terrible caps as a Saint; there's just no reason to use her beyond the point of getting more healers.
I didn't even realize I could remove Mercy on my first run and she still kicked ass.
The healers have to get strong fast to cover up for Nigger.
est?
>Haar.
Oh wow, I didn't know other people thought my husbando was good
Well with Amiti that's a no brainer. Really any brave weapon really.
Elincia is a God Tier flyer just behind Haar.
Empress bitch is very VERY good if you actually level her up.
Rush Ludveck. Use the yellow units. Tank.
Where'd you find the .iso, Nigger?
Haar is widely agreed to be a top tier unit in RD.
Haar is, aside from MAYBE, MAAAAAYBE the laguz royals, the best unit in the game.
>Est was a Pegasus Knight in FE1 who joined the player's team late in the game. Est archetype characters are usually characters that join the group late in the game at an extremely low level, and are difficult to level up due to their low bases. However, if trained, they usually turn out to be the most powerful units in the game. It can be said that they are the antithesis of the Jagen. It should be noted that most Ests usually lack one or two decent stat(s), generally hp and defense. They also have lower availability rates than most other characters. After FE3, most Ests have been magic users.
Est (FE1/2/3/11/12)
Corpul/Sharlow (FE4)
Miranda and Sara (FE5)
Rina (TS)
Sophia and Zeiss (FE6)
Nino (FE7)
Ewan (FE8)
Elincia (FE9)
Pelleas and Kurthnaga (FE10)
Don't fuck things up with her Nigger. I want to see her make it to the end.
>flying
>healing
>literally infinite Brave Sword
Yes.

>third-tier stats in part 2
God I forgot how much of a shitter Sothe looked like.

Not quite, Edward's looking kinda pale.

alright, I have some homework to do so I'm going to call it here.
Tomorrow we continue, and meet some new allies!
Her stats are honestly not comparable to most third tier units.
JAROD
WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT HER MARY SUE LEVEL???
>Sophia...(FE6)
Don't intentionally spread misinformation.
Night Nigger, can't wait to see how you deal with the levels when they get difficult.
You better put the whole down brigade in th tower you fuck.
night
But, she is a Est.
So we have Est Units, such as Elincia
Jagen Units such as Titania
What other Archetypes are there?
Ogma - early mercenary
Navarre - early myrm with killing edge
Cain and Abel - red and green duo
Gotoh - way late game prepromote
Camus - sympathetic enemy general who dies for kingdom
Half an Est, maybe. She joins late and at a low level, but her growths aren't worthy of an Est at all.
Titania is an Oifey,
>ifeys are named after the paladin Oifey from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. These Jagens usually start out with mediocre stats for their level, but have better growth rates than pure Jagens, making them better and not worthless later in the game. In stark contrast to the pure Jagens, the Oifeys are usually quite young despite their experience, with Seth barely being much older than his liege Eirika, and Oifey being only in his early 30's.
fireemblem.wikia.com
It isn't always so strict; for example the Nabarl archetype has a gameplay and a characterization side. Gameplay-wise its the speedy enemy swordfighter with a killing edge, and character-wise its the edgy dude.
Zihark is the Nabarl of FE9, but he isn't edgy at all. Same for Joshua.
I can't think of Cain and Abel without remembering that abandoned banter playthrough.
Titania is an Oifey, since she's usable into the endgame in both PoR and RD.
>Fielding Meg
Great, now you have 2 options for Alondite.
Poor Mist; she got screwed by IS getting rid of Magic Swords.
Sophia's grwoths are not that bad. She's a typical Shaman
60% 55% 40% 30% 20% 20% 55% (Sophia)
45% 75% 20% 35% 50% 10% 35% (Lilina)
55% 45% 55% 40% 15% 15% 35% (Raigh)
50% 40% 50% 50% 35% 15% 30% (Lugh)
Yes, Lilina have a goddamn 75% MAG growth.
>red and green duo
Christmas Knights/Ninjas are always fun. Though I find the Yellow 3rd Wheel hit or miss.
Oifey was in his early 30s during the second gen? He looked like a little kid before Sigurd's army got roasted.
What would you call the Final Boss before the true final boss (Gharnef, Hardin, Alvis, Zephiel, Nergal, Lyon, Black Knight...) I always guessed that was what a Gharnef archetype was
...
>special exceptions only for Meg
Shit Nigger, that's some top-tier waifu dedication.
That's because he was. If I remember correctly, he was like 14.
He's gotta defend her honour if he wants to prove a point.
Brom of the Moon's daughter HAS to be good. It's basic genetics
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR FAAAAAAAAAAACE
OP better make her a custom sword and name it T H I C C
It still gives me a chuckle.
Has noone tried to dub these scripts?
I'd imagine it could be hilarious if people take it seriously
>Put Wrath and Resolve on Micaiah
>Sacrifice down to low hp
>Solo the map
Why does it feel so wrong?
Meg's a got cute face. Too bad about her everything else. And she was no match for Ilyana, I hope for Zihark's sake that she's as hungry for cock as she is for food.
Edward is showing his hatred of benches
Because she have no SPD to double.
Why did I never think of this?
>not just 1rounding boss w/ Haar
fookin casuals i sware
...
>Too bad about her everything else.
What are you fucking gay?
I'd call the dark mage type villain a Gharnef, yeah, but there's room to call characters like Hardin, Zephiel, Walhart their own archetype.
There's a trio of possible final villains; evil sorceror, armored tyrant type, or a dragon/god/demon.
Maybe they wanted him to be a mage killer?
>hand her a purge tome
>sacrifice down to wrath/resolve levels
>throw her enough bexp/speedwings/rings so she can double things despite the tomes weight
>every turn, just double nuke something
That was my endgame plan for her. I also got some crazy lucky growths for Heather when she joined the party and managed to steal a Bolting. Held onto that fucker until endgame when you get 'blessed' and everyone's weapons become free.
Nothing better than a free bolting tome with infinite uses against the sheer number of fucking dragons the game hurls at you.
It's not necessarily what KIND of villain they are, more that they are the Boss that is a lot more built up before generic dark dragon #76129478
To be fair you pretty much need all of them at this point. Mickey can't handle herself at all.
Yes, her growths aren't that bad. But that doesn't make her Est material.
Its kind of amazing that only two-three games haven't done that.
FE9; which basically got retconned.
FE4; which went ahead and fused the villains together at least.
FE5; which still manages to have a shitty final boss.
>keeps a tome that can easily kill him in a jail he is guarding
wew lad
>Why do they give armorkilling effects to a magic tome? Knights already have pitifully low RES. Why not make a tome that is effective against Anima and Cavalry?
But user, Thani is good against knights and cavalry.
buy a shirt that fits christ
Shinon does nothing besides grabbing opportunistic kills here and there for his own xp. 90% of combat will be done in the enemy phase by Haar/Ike/Titania.
Laura has lower caps than mages, and it's pretty much impossible to level her even if you are only going as fast as needed to get max BEXP. I don't think I ever got her out of tier-1 except in 1 PT where I glare-abused to level Fiona.
It's a shame. She could have been a really good unit, but a lot of shit brings her down.
...
>The downs brigade is poor as shit.
No they are not. You get 24,000 gold and two gems, plus items Meg's fortune and Fiona's imbue to sell in part 1, then you go through all of part 3 with free Prf Weapons. Most people send the gems to the Greil Mercs because Dawn Brigade don't need them.
Are you following some 10 year old Gamefaqs guide or something?
You have two choke points and two units that cannot die.
Also there are two units that can fly up and kill the boss.
Wow such hard map.
2TAKUMI
LMAO 2 TAK!!!
I'm well aware. I just think that the armorkilling is unnecessary, and should be used against some class that a light mage would struggle fighting against. The rapier makes sense because it makes up for most lord's average strength and most sword's overall low might. Giving a tome the ability to absolutely overkill something that is already weak seems kinda pointless. Cavalry is fine because they get a medium amount of RES
Why was Fates such a goldmine for memes?
youtu.be
>That astra cut-in
Armors in Part 1 have 5-6 RES, cavs in Part 1 have 3-4 RES.
Because most of the memes were added in by the shit tier localization.
Wait.
What? Really? I always thought the drawback of Knight's godly defense was their poor RES.
>there will never be a chapter in any game better than 2-E
It's not like enemy stats are hidden.
I guess I was just too lazy to check generic enemy stats
No, it's just that cavalry is garbage in RD.
Just did this on hard the other day, use harr wiht a handaxe to kill the boss and heal him with elincia, hes so fuckign invincible not even thundermages kill him
Player unit cavs have lower res generally than armors, too. Sain starts with 0.
Micaiah's not bad as a can opener in Part 1 and being a staff bot after that makes her really useful with no effort.
I never really had a problem with Micaiah outside of IS's shoddy writing.
Honestly, I respect IS actually trying to nerf Cavs in RD; they're usually the best class in any game they appear in.
When you compare the amount of disadvantages Knights get for having high defense, Cavs should have some weaker stats.
Titania's very good but otherwise they're pretty mediocre.
Cavs are not the best class, it's the circumstantial factors that make them so good in many games. They join early and your Jeigan was always a paladin until 10.
If you gave me a choice I would rather have Marcus and Lowen be wyvern knights with the same stats.
Eh I used Titania, Oscar and Kieran in this game and they worked fine.
They were no Mia or Ike, though.
>When you compare the amount of disadvantages Knights get for having high defense
The best part is that high defense is easily circumvented by weapons effective against armor, or mages with enough mag and spd.
Yeah, but you'd think with how IS treats Knights, Cavs would be much worse, on account of having high movement and two weapons. Knights do join pretty early in several FEs; Bors has perfect availability, but he's pretty bad.
Allen and Lance would not nearly be as good if they were lancelocked like Knights.
>mages with spd
Good one
Does anyone here know about Onmi?
In the general sense, not RD specific.
He posts every now and again in feg; I think he said something about making the FE6 hack his college project. So it should get done soon enough.
I need to ask him about Integrity's efforts critiquing FE4.
Radiant Dawn really screwed over some of the classically strong classes. Cavs, Pegs, and Mages are pretty bad due to availability or stats.
If that's what they were going for, they missed Wyverns by a long shot.
How many of these shitty playthroughs are you going to do? What are you going to do when you run out of FE games?
He kinda needs to, it's due october and we're like 5 days away
>That feel when Feg is a shit hole
The current thread is the worst I've seen, honestly. Constant waifuposters shitposting other waifuposters.
I really miss the times when Feg was actually talking about the games and mods. The months before Awakening's release were fucking fantastic.
I don't even have a problem with waifustuff, but its devolved into a mess of people accusing other supposed whateverfags, then being accused themselves as whateverfags.
At least in half a year, we'll have the mobile game to shitpost about.
What's the chance that the mobile game is actually good?
>mobile game
>good
Gotta have hop--nope, its probably going to be bad. Be something to talk about at the very least.
