Relax. Where you're going, there is no weapon triangle.

Miracle?


Counter's the big problem here.

Counter AND Miracle at the same time is nothing to sneeze at either.

The joy of Fire Emblem is that the answer to a lot of questions about game design choices is "Because gently caress you, that's why."

Arguably Nowi too, since even though she has a fantastic class, her skills are really atrocious. Her reclasses aren't much better either admittedly, but even getting deliverer on her and switching back to manakete makes her significantly more powerful.

Skills don't really matter for the main game, especially if it means dropping to E weapon ranks and a big hit to her durability.

Getting out of Manakete does amazing things for her speed though, even if it'll always be terrible. It's not a bad idea to get her some levels in wyvern honestly.

Wyvern Rider has a 5% lower speed growth than Manakete and only 2 higher base speed.

Tips for levelling up Donnel on hard please.

I'm on chapter 6, he's level 2 and he's a loving liability.

Only the level 30 enemies on the EXP grinding map have miracle, and if you're high enough level to need to grind off them you can usually circumvent the skill, thereby making the grinding more focused, instead of just letting you take a level 1 unit in and kill everybody because you can. FE is a series of intricately balanced games - there's the occasional hiccup but, FE5 excepted, they're very finely-tuned, and even FE5 mostly just has a *few* ludicrous moments, most of the game is actually pretty fair once you get the hang of it.

Find archers, surround them. alternatively pair him up with fred or kellam and wait for weak myrms to come by. Thieves work too.

I have clearly committed the cardinal sin of letting anecdotal experience work for me
Or I was thinking of sage since I know I got Nowi to cap speed by reclassing her.

You can forge a bronze lance to have more Mt, too. It helps his damage a lot.

Nah. The smaller ones can have miracle. The 30's are the only ones that have counter, and all of the level 30 enemies have it. The rest get a smattering of miracle or underdog, with the occasional -breaker skill. Really, the grinding dlc seems designed to be slightly more interesting than "kill them as fast as you can". I would presume that the designers' sense of dignity prevents them from releasing a dlc that grinds your dudes with literally zero effort or coordination.

Hey thread do you think the OST will ever get released outside Japan? If that's pretty dang unlikely, where's a good place to order it from?

Aw thanks But emptyquoting will be allowed in the forum rules when the thread title gets changed to "Take Your Daughter To War Day" (p much never).

Forge him a good spear, make Fred his buddy forever, and let him take kills from really low enemies. That's all you can really do.

Fa la lanky down dilly, motherfuckers.

And Pair him Up with your strongest dudes, like Frederick, Chrom, and your Avatar. It won't make him invunerable, or even good, but it'll helps. Consider putting him with a Pegasus Knight as well, that would help his speed.

Well, I found the best class to go with Kellam's disappearing shtick. Dread Fighter. I mean, it's just perfect for him. It's literally what they do.

You could summon Serra, a spotpass cleric, and murder her over and over again until Donnel can stand up against enemies on his own.

You can order from:
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=TSCM-8 I'm not sure how much shipping would cost.

and amazon has some listings although they are more expensive than CD Japan. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...8&condition=new

I ordered Knights of Iris a while back and shipping through SAL cost next to nothing. Might have actually cost nothing. I don't remember. I checked how much shipping with SAL would be for the OST and it's an extra and shipping with anything else costs more.

I would definitely like to get the OST someday because that five-disc collection looks sweet as hell but I don't have $50 ready to lay down on it.
