Verdane Army theme is pretty catchy :dance:
It really, really is! Unfortunately, without the magic of fast forward, enemy turns last a very long time in FE4, so some of them get really old.

And this bothers the hell out of me, especially with names like Sigurd and Tyrfing flying around. Is it really not supposed to be Valhalla?
Um, I'm pretty sure his name is Zigludo :colbert:

How typical, Sigurd just met a pretty girl and now he has nothing but sects on his mind.
:frogout:

The back end of chapter 1 is a slog, unfortunately. Chapter 2, on the other hand, wastes no time at all in telling you to hurry the hell up :v:

Chapter 2 is honestly where I first felt that units on foot start having a hard time. The prologue and Chapter 1 have smaller, tighter stretches between areas and a lot of forests to navigate through, which reduces the overwhelming advantage mounted units have, but now we start seeing wide-open plains and long stretches between castles and objectives, and people who weren't lucky enough to have a horse start having a real issue with keeping up.

Some of them are eminently worth using anyway, of course, but the sheer scope of FE4 and maps like this really badly skew things in favor of mounted units.

Nitpick, but it's "without further ado", not "without further adieu".

Good to see this back. :buddy:

More like I've forgotten what we were doing or why... nice to see it back, but I'm gonna have to re-read the whole thing up until now :negative:

Yeah, he's got some pretty insane growths here. In five levels, he got +5 hp, +7 str, +3 skl, +5 spd, +7 luck, +9 def and +5res. Dude must have basically started with 0s in everything but hp and magic.

I should also note that my first time playing this I totally loving blanked on Lachesis and had to actually fight him square. It, ah...took a few tries. Quite a few.

Yggdra Union does exactly that. Each unit when the battle starts is shown as a small squad.


Even when it makes no sense (like the first battle when Yggdra is ostensibly running away by herself)!

I've done it before. It works, but it's really finicky, and there are much easier ways to get good units.

It is fun as hell to have two units perma-critting, though.

If you wouldn't mind, can you just throw up a quick list of your pairings this run? I've lost track of everyone.

I feel like we should start compiling some sort of Holy Weapon Tier List.
First, no.

Second, tier lists are stupid, and third, no.

Yeah, Sigurd getting auto-equipped with the broken Tyrfing cost me a reset or two my first time through. It tanks his stats to ridiculous levels and even capped out he'll easily die.

We called it "archer persistence " back in the day. The answer is, even without Hero Weapons, as many times as they want to. I suspect it caps out around the total remaining durability of the equipped weapon, since the speed hit from the broken weapon tanks your odds of the skill activating.
But, as you'll note from arena battles, I'm pretty sure a weapon can't break until the current battle it's in finishes.
