Looper posted:Also which battle specifically are you talking about? Story missions should rarely swarm you, but the enemies in "random" encounters will always all bum rush you from the start because interesting AI is hard Ah ok that makes more sense then. Here's my bottleneck: I'm on a story mission where you have to protect a princess and her little mage buddy (I forget their names at the moment). Anyway, they are separate from your main group. I figured I could grind a little bit to better handle the fight, but I can't beat the drat grinding levels because dudes just bum rush me. Maybe I should just try the story mission again, now that I know that you won't get rushed so bad in those. Cause yeah, now that you mention it I was able to kite guys in and kill them in storyline missions but never really put it together why this wouldn't work when it came to the grinding levels.

Pair up Maribelle and Ricken, have them move as far south as possible, and have Lissa use the Rescue staff on them. If she doesn't have enough Magic to reach them, have someone that grants +Magic Pair Up with her. Then just plug up the holes with your high defense units and take them down, and beware of fortresses, because enemies will spawn in them.

iirc X is the button that displays the areas in which the entire enemy army can attack If you're not using it, turn it on and keep it on

I had the rescue staff idea but when I tried they were out of range, didn't think of moving them closer for some dumb reason.

Another tip is that if Lissa doesn't have enough magic even with moving them, just pair her up with Miriel or your Main Unit to give her bonus magic to give that extra reach. Stats are far more important than quantity in Fire Emblem. edit: Also, buy stat potions. They last for 1 map, but you can stack different ones, they're cheap, and +2 is effectively 2 levels which is a lot. Tae fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Aug 27, 2015 |

If I wanted to get a gameboy, I should get a GB Advance, SP, right? This + a new 3ds would allow me to play the entire handheld library, if I am reading things correctly. The SP has a better screen than the non SP? If this is correct, how much should I look to spend?

If you're going with an SP, make sure to get an AGS-101 model. It's got the proper backlit screen as opposed to a frontlit one and looks a hundred times better. Should run you in the ballpark of 30-40 bucks. The stock colors for the 101 were a dark grey (noticably different from the black SP), pearl pink and a baby blue. EDIT: here's a picture showing the difference in screen quality.

One of those late-model redesigns nintendo likes to do. EDIT: seeing above, the reasons I mentioned those is the original AGS-001 is the one with the frontlit screen. There's a fuckload of colors for that one, but only the later model AGS-101s have the nice backlit screen instead of the mediocre one.

If you have the DLC gate, go find the mission pack that gives you EXPonential Growth. You can grind that mission somewhat safely, as the enemies will not attack you, and you can pick off the ones you can kill. Just a tip though, watch the levels of the guys you hit. The Splatoon Squid Sister's theme that came out today(?) is pretty great.

Really loving LBX so far. The world feels very much like Pokemon, because people settle their differences with tiny robots in battle. At one point 3 baddies are going to "take care" of a kid, so they sit outside while controlling the robots that break into the kid's house. A fight ensues, the baddies end up losing, and they just gently caress off because "welp I guess there is nothing we can do since our toy robots are broken". It's great. The customization is definitely plentiful with swapping out limbs as well as playing tetris in a cube to utilize core parts such as batteries, cpus, motors, etc. Hopefully I stop being broke at some point so I can afford the stuff I unlocked at the shop. Many of the battles have been 2 vs 2 and 3 vs 3 so far which is nice. I thought it was all solo battles initially. Really looking forward to more unlocks and story.

I'm in Chapter 11 and the best source of money has been quests and then fighting random battles in areas where those can occur. Since this is actually an older game, there's a handy resource for all the quests which I've referenced on a couple confusing ones. The names aren't localized, though: http://danball-senki.wikia.com/wiki/Side-Quest_BBS_Guide I also try to finish as many battles as possible with Breaking Blows (if you don't know what those are, you'll be introduced to them in time), which gives more drops that sell for not a lot but it helps I guess. Breaking Blows and extended juggle combos into special attack routines are the reasons the combat is still fun for me even into the later chapters.

There's something like 20 environments so I don't notice myself getting tired of any of them except for the boring grassland with the little plateau in the middle and that miserable volcano that the AI goes all stupid on with repeatedly jumping into/over lava and dashing and not actually doing anything.

It's mostly the grassland, yeah. Most of the fights against random people on the streets seem to use that environment unless you use your own battlecube.

I have lost once or twice because if it, but most of the time you can run around and heal and/or use a Cool-Me-Down to just instantly get rid of Overheat. Also, thanks to the ability to juggle into special attack routines I mentioned earlier, missing with them often is not an issue at all. That problem really only comes up if I've weakened them too far to hit them with a launcher without killing them.

Possibly a stupid question but you can't damage the 3DS speakers by playing stuff at max volume, right? I'd assume at least official retail games wouldn't be able to go outside a safe range.

The gba sp owns and is my favorite Nintendo handheld outside of the 3ds. And yes get the ags-101, the screen is gorgeous. The only downside to the gba sp is that it has no headphone port without a breakout cable, but once you get one you're golden. It's worth it to own an SP just to play advance wars on, which is mostly what I do with mine.

You'll get the correct part.

I understand Normal -> High -> Master -> Top Grade and such, but there are often slashes and additional letters on the grade icon in some equipment.

H, D, and J for the other three playable characters in the main story. M for any other character, it seems. They're generally just slight cosmetic differences but otherwise should be the same as normal parts of that model and grade. Also MG was replaced by TG in this game, so it's just NG HG TG.

You can lower armor class rating for reduced weight (minus symbol), keep it normal (slash symbol) or raise armor class for increased weight (plus symbol) Weight affects the speed rating of your LBX.

I still have a DS Lite that I've dusted off and started playing again on my breaks at work. I'm really not looking to get a newer handheld, but maybe you guys won't mind my question here. What are some must-play games? I currently own and enjoy the following: Phoenix Wright series New Super Mario Bros Zelda Spirit Tracks Elite Beat Agents Animal Crossing Yoshi's Island Mario Kart I'm thinking I should get the Castlevania games for sure and maybe an RPG. I'm not a huge Pokémon fan. Also I guess this thing plays GBA games so I'd be open for suggestions there too. Thanks for any advice.
