Cattail Prophet posted:To be fair, Seteth's combat specialties shouldn't come as a complete shock to anyone who's been getting faculty instruction from him. (Maybe also having him lead a seminar? I forget exactly which skills his seminars raise.) At least, those are in his teaching list but I don't remember if they're the seminar focus. I seem to recall he can also teach lances and authority, but I'm not sure on these last two.

Seteth's Faculty Training for Byleth is Lance/Axe/Authority/Flying. Seteth's Seminar is Lance and Authority. With the description quote of "Begin a seminar on an ancient Fodlan fighting style using lances."

Seteth also trains swords. Now that Thyrsus has been mentioned, it's by far the easiest path to utterly break Lysithea. Her major flaw is lack of range, and even on Maddening, she can be built to one-shot dudes left and right. It's such a massive force multiplier since the majority of your units can't one-round poo poo.

The other thing to mention with Thyrsus and Lysithea on maddening is that with a strike range of 5 (S+ rank dark magic as well) she can open up on a lot of nasty bosses who don't have the counterattack passive but have a range of 3-4. Lunaing some horrible boss before your melee guys close in is absolutely necessary on maddening.

I'm not gonna lie, I know that feeling of LPing boring poo poo and rambling. I would imagine temporal stasis like your friend Alexander to just be complete oblivion as most neural activity is a function of time. Probably no different from oblivion. Oh, yes, Fire Emblem. Uh. That sure was a level!

You can step in temporal prisons in any order you want, so you probably go lowest DPS > highest DPS. From what I've heard, if noone steps in one it pulls in a random party member and imprisons them.

Y'know, I'm reminded that Alois is kinda shafted as a character really. Like, he's fine, even kinda cool, they clearly put a lot of time and energy into getting the exact right cadence of Dad Joke Energy into his dialog. But the game sooooooo has no idea what to do with him as a character, and if you aren't hunting for Dad Jokes there is no a single scene in the game where he's strongly memorable. Kinda feel bad for him.

The most interesting thing about that level came from the level background: why do rando Almyran pirates have what look to be proper cannons and when/why can’t we get them?

Don't need cannons when we have a Lysithea Nuke. Edit: the FF14 talk helped me remember this gem of a song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pdqUzOH_Hg I've never touched 14 due to time constraints, but I sank a lot of hours into 11 back in the day... I should try to check the LP for it. Brunom1 fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Nov 23, 2019 |

The Alois reward battalion is Holy Knights of Seiros which is actually a decent B-rank Battalion with (maxed) 7 PATK, 5 PRT and 7 RES. The archers remain the trash Shamir comes with though.

AnAnonymousIdiot posted:Odd question: what do we know of Almyra? There's some books in the library discussing it in broad strokes. It's a large nation to the east, the only land route is through the mountains known as Fodlan's Throat. They've got a strong history of horsesmenship. 120 years ago they invaded the Alliance, but were driven off with aid from the Empire. The fortress, Fodlan's Locket, was built using combined resources from the Alliance, Empire, Kingdom and church to defend against them and the invasion gave rise to the Officers Academy.

Since I want to record the next update, I need to close voting for the Goddess Tower scene.quote:Dorothea: 13 By literally one vote, we will be talking to Dorothea. Now that that's over, it's time to start voting on who we'll be taking into this month's mission. We can choose from the following units. I'm not sure if Edelgard is a forced deployment or not, so I'll be putting her here for safety.
Same rules as usual, you all surely know the drill by now.

Leraika posted:Sylvain and the two lowest leveled characters Yeah, sure, I'll second this. Also that paralogue looked incredibly annoying given the insistence on wyvern riders and fliers in general. Are archers any use on the mission on Maddening, or do they get taken out too easily by the riders?

They can be used to knock out fliers that attack the town while the units that can "theoretically" take a hit, try to land a hit on the mission target. It's a nightmare mission either way, but even weaker archers can be useful.

I enjoyed this paralogue the first time I played it, but I also was relatively early in and was also playing Golden Deer so it felt a little more interconnected. (Plus, archerpalooza.) Since then it's been just a thing I have to get done to make the green exclamation point stop, and in my most recent run I've been holding off to recruit Alois first just to see if I can do something different with it. Anyway, Marianne, Linhardt, and the lowest level character.

Another thing that's notable about that paralogue is that the Wyvern Riders are far, far stronger than most units you've faced to this point. Yeah, that's about it.

There's actually some battalion gambits that use gunpowder. Not sure how many are available yet, and it's pretty primitive "light fuse, run" stuff, but Fodland's at least got the material, if not the know-how to actually use it for anything but bombs.

Not for the first time I found myself thinking about a character in this game "What happened to you is awful and explains everything about what you're doing, but it doesn't mean you're not an rear end in a top hat."

More that I'm reading Ingrid as using Glenn's death to guilt Sylvain and leaning pretty heavily on 'you can't do anything without me', which is kinda not cool!

Tae posted:You really cant do maddening without bows on every physical attacker Given the usefulness of Curved Shot, I'd agree with you. I'd also question why people don't have a backup bow on every physical character in the first place mind, given how useful it is... Honestly though, I found physical attackers to just struggle in general on Maddening. The average physical attacker does piss for damage if they're on average on their strength growth..... I ended up running like 6 mages because my physical dudes are by and large not cutting it. Felix is sort of an interesting case study to me. It's obvious by now that Glenn's death ties a lot into Sylvain's, Felix's and Ingrid's interactions with each other, and more background on that gets revealed in the Blue Lion path specifically. His behaviour doesn't really get excused by it persay, but his persistent attitude is explained. He does care about them, but the way his friends and family have chosen to deal with Glenn's death keeps provoking him. It also added significant poignancy to his solo ending on my Golden Deer file, since I recruited none of his friends there.
