I've generally been keeping on top of things, but I suppose I'll ask:

Does anybody think there's something missing from the OP, or that there's anything that should be changed?

Rescue staves, and plenty of them.

Does saving all the villagers in Gerome's stage get you anything? If it's gold or some crap the game can go gently caress itself.

It might be doable if I had a real Falcoknight, but why should fliers get all parts of the weapon triangle, right?

Give Maribelle a Rescue staff and move them to the starting island.


Anyway, got a question. Giving a Dark Flier who has +1 movement Boots to make her movement 11. Good idea or bad idea?

A few frequently asked questions near the top would help, I think. When the DLC is accessible, how reclassing and promotion work, where everybody's feet is, that sort of thing.

I wouldn't. Between the class's already high movement and Galeforce, you'll be able to zip across maps in a turn or two without further assistance. Boots are better used on slower-moving characters to help them keep up with the rest of the squad: if you're planning to use any Generals in your final lineup, they should be your first priority for embootenment. If you really want excessively high movement on a flier, there are easier ways to get it, like the Griffon Rider's Deliverer skill.

Always have a rescue staff on hand just in case some suicidal dumbass needs saving.

It doesn't really matter. The general idea in FE is to give Boots either to your Dancer so that they can refresh people further away, or your Lord so that they can get to seize points more quickly. Obviously the latter doesn't really apply to this game. If you're not giving it to your Dancer, I think it's usually smart to give it to somebody durable enough to take on tons of enemies so that they can actually make use of that extra movement, or to a staff user so that they effectively have a larger larger staff range, but really you can just give it to whoever you like, like with any other stat boost. If you wanna make a unit with ridiculous movement, go for it. Plus giving Boots to someone with Galeforce means they effectively get +4 movement per turn instead of +2.

Nothing super major. The biggest prize was an Angelic Robe. I think I also got an Arms Scroll? The rest is just filler. Nothing to worry yourself over.

Give the Boots to anyone who has access to Movement+1, Galeforce, and Deliverer. Pair them with a partner who also has Galeforce.

I think somebody designed a 48 Movement-per-turn Severa on Serenes Forest or something.

Villagers in this game would have a longer life expectancy if they were capable of offering anything of substantial value.

I would only want to do this if the engine couldn't take that many movement points and made Severa walk off the map and crash the game.

Let me tell you about Homestuck

Fun Shoe

Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that.

I just did some calculations of my own, and with two characters paired up, both being a Bow Knight, Griffon Rider or Dark Knight (base 8 movement, grants +1 move when paired up), both with Deliverer (+2 move when paired up), Movement +1, both getting Boots, and a boost from Rally Movement and Rally Heart, that gives both characters 16 Move when paired up. Giving both Galeforce means you can move one 16 squares, kill someone, move 16 squares, switch to the other person and kill someone, then move a final 16 squares for a total of 48 squares of movement.

is Ipecac, Scapular, Polyphemus...



Am I missing something? Forget walking off the map and breaking the game, how does the game completely misinterpret the movement? How does that just happen? Is it breaking some sort of stack or variable, or what? :psyduck:

It's not going to hurt your game, unless you're playing on hard and run out of money. Otherwise keep doing it if it's fun.

Honestly I found the early risen map encounters more fun than a lot of the main chapters. Though maybe that's because they decided to stick the best music in the optional grinding part of the game.

Agreed, Conquest (Ablaze) is easily my favourite track that I've heard in the game so far.

Mezzanon posted:

My favourite Risen encounters are when you end up with two Risen on the same location, or when you get an Anna and a Risen on the same location and you get a reward for guarding her. It's a shame that the Risen boxes don't let you summon two Risen on the same location. :(

I ended up kind of grinding just because I was having fun fighting Risen. Then I got the grinding map and went a little crazy. Took until the last story chapter for things to even get slightly difficult again. OF course, the recent DLC is still pretty rough.

The danger of grinding is that the main missions are generally more fun when they're harder, but their difficulty doesn't scale to you if you're overleveled.

You can only use Bronze weapons with an E rank (or ladles!).

Forge her a maxed MT Bronze Axe, and let her go to town.

Glass weapons too, if memory serves.

Which, if you have armsthrift and a lot of luck, is basically as good as silver weapons.
