I dunno, reclassing and giving her swords, even magical ones would ruin her being a mage with literally more than twice as much strength as magic.

So I started playing this game thanks to this LP and I have to say that making a MU cavalier seems useless to me. By the end of the prologue you already have 3 even if only 1 is any good, and you get a few more after only a couple chapters that are great. Why would you ever pick cavalier then?

Or you could be a boring person that doesn't like cool units like axe dudes and mages that gain str and not magic

It was worse in the prequel. Cavs on Cavs on Cavs on Cavs. They're a little more spread out this time around. I guess I could see an all cav/pegasus knight team being something to do if you wanted to just run through the maps, but every map in this game save a couple outliers (mostly gaiden chapters) requires Marth to step on the throne to end it, so you wouldn't really be speeding it up. There's one Gaiden map later that is almost total luck on how fast you finish it. EDIT: And it looks like we voted to Shave Steve, so we'll see how that goes. I'll keep her in Mage or Cleric this chapter to see if it was the hair all along that was cursing the RNG, then decide more from there.

Update 15: World's Best Disguised Paladin (Prep) The votes are in, and we are shaving with Wrys. As for the actual plot, Marth is going to find Ogma at Wendell's house to try and help protect the kids he previously allowed Lang to kidnap.   Hmm, I wonder which of them is the full grown mercenary? Narrator: in order to help Ogma and the Grustian royal children, he decided to visit Wendell, who was once the childrens' guardian. However, the "Holm Beach" where Wendell resides is dominion of the infamous Macedonian Vikings. Countless pirates await in Marth's path. Will Marth be able to safely rescue the children...?  : Steve, may I have a moment?  Welcome back, smug Marth.    Sounds good!  As you can see, we already have a much bigger deployment roster than last chapter, because this one is a lot bigger.  This map has a lot of enemies, but they aren't too high level.  This guy has an amazing portrait. Also, I was told there would be vikings. These look like pirates to me.  And this fellow looks rather suspicious, but we'll get to that.  Preliminary lineup here. We're gonna try this shaved Steve thing and see if it throws any Mag her way. Now then, How's Everyone time!     You don't want that, Bord. That's the joke Tome.   Still not enough to make me use you, Rody    I hate you. Base conversations time!  Chillin' with Catria  : Excuse me, you are Steve of the Royal Guard, right? : Just Catria is fine, thanks. We're comrades, so I'd be happy if we could talk normally between us. : All right, I'd like that too. We've already fought together for a while.Steve evidently remembers Catria a lot better than Malicia. : That we have. I've seen you battle many times. You fight with peerless devotion to protect Prince Marth. Just as I'd expect from Prince Marth's Royal Guard.: I'm honored. Thank you for your praise. I've watched you fight too. You're incredibly powerful. I admire you as a fellow female warrior.I like how there are slightly different base conversations for both genders of MU. Effort! : Ha... you embarrass me.: In the coming battles...I believe we'll fight together many times. I'm counting on you.: Yes, likewise.She's probably right, Catria is seriously really good, and she's a strong contender for slots on any team. pantpant  : *huff...puff...*: *pantpant*Uh...Luke? You...you alright there? : Luke, are you listening? Let's continue training already.: D-don't talk to me please... I'm dying here... R.I.P. Luke. Died inbetween chapters. Guess we have to use Rody now. : What are you saying? We aren't even half done.: Y-you're joking, right...? Isn't that what you do all the time? Well, without the running. That's what the horse is for. : H-hey, why do you look just fine...?: That's because I'm accustomed to this since my childhood days.: Y-you've been doing this training from hell since you were a kid...?  : Now, that's just rude.: Scratch that, I'm starting to wonder if you're even human...: Okay, you've gone too far now. Fine, if you can't move then I'll just have to drag you along. Luke has the best supports. This next one is...uh...something, though. Naked Body  : Hello, Steve. Yes, but it's nothing important.: There is no need to concern yourself; please tell me what you wish to do and I shall do it in your stead.: Thank you. But it's okay, I'll be back soon.: Then, I shall accompany you.Steve. Social skills. Come on. : I appreciate it, but...Steve, I'm not going anywhere dangerous.: Still, it would be terrible if anything were to happen to you, sire. It is my duty as your Royal Guard to protect you at all times.: I-I see. Hmm...the truth is...  ...welp.  : So you just wanted a bath...I'm sorry, how embarrassing of me.: Oh no, it's okay. I'm really happy that you'd go that far to protect me.Well, that was sufficiently awkward for today. Anything Bad.   : If only we had met the princess, we might have been able to avoid confronting Lang like that...Well, Minerva probably would have bashed his head in, knowing her. : I myself have no regrets. The question is how he's going to react. I just hope he won't do anything bad...I sure hope the creepy bastard who slaughtered innocents, kidnapped children, and abducted women from random villages doesn't do anything bad as well, Jagen. : According to Lang, Sir Ogma took the prince and princess of Grust and is going to meet Lord Wendell. We, too, came here to join Sir Ogma, but this is pirate territory. We must proceed carefully.I was promised vikings! Dead Sirius : Sir Jagen, I have returned with the scouts. These are the details.  Jagen can see the map screen. He's in my head!  : The details are unclear. The scouts say he's a masked man of unknown identity.: Hm... But if he's a paladin, I doubt he's conspiring with those bandits.They do tend to never bother with mounted units.  A few more hints here for good measure. And that's all for prep on chapter 4. Next time, a ton of new units, Pirate/Vikings, and sand tiles. LordHippoman fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Feb 2, 2015 |

Rody actually became my primary cavalier in my playthrough so far. He has long ago left Luke in the dust when it comes to both strength and defense. It's really weird considering how your Rody and Like turned out.

Oh hey, we're here. I always liked the music in this chapter. It was probably some kind of experiment by the composer, because it doesn't sound like your average Fire Emblem tune. This is one of the many reasons I love being a caster. Yes, Luke. All this "swinging" these tomes around. I don't think you're doing it right. ...Then again, come to think of it, neither is Steve so I guess that's fine. LordHippoman posted:Jagen can see the map screen. He's in my head! Of course.

Update 15: World's Best Disguised Paladin (Battle) Welcome back. Last time Marth rescued his best pal Wrys from some really flaky assassins, and set out to undo all the poo poo he accidentally caused in Chapter 1. Starting things out with How's Everyone, as usual.       I still hate you.   I like this a lot better. Anyway, we get a cutscene as soon as this one starts:  : Yumina, Yubello. This place is notorious for the Macedonian Vikings. If we could, we'd stay the hell away, but the village where Lord Wendell resides is just past this area. Still not vikings.  : Mister Ogma, I'm scared...This kid's name is Yubello. I would understand if you don't remember, because it's been about 8 updates since we last saw him and he had so few lines I didn't even upload him a portrait.  : Yubello! Get a hold of yourself! You're a man, are you not? Show some spine! You can use a Fire tome, can't you? So... fight with it! : But Master Wendell said that we mustn't fight... Besides, I don't like fighting. : Ugh, stop complaining! It's just you and me now. You have to stay strong, because I...sniff... I don't know what we're supposed to do... : Oh... I'm sorry, Yumina... I'll do my best, so... please don't cry! : drat... This can't be good... We've been spotted. Kids, we've got no choice; we're going to have to cut through. Do not leave my side! And with that, we actually get to start the map. With three new units!  Ogma here could be at a higher level if he joined you in the prologue instead of Draug. Ogma is good. He can take a few hits, do damage, and is one of the most all around powerful units in the game. If you want to use a Mercenary, it is hard to go wrong with Ogma.  Yumina is alright. She won't ever be great for much but healing, but she does that competently enough. C rank in Staves is nice. However, by now you've had Malicia for a while, and I personally don't see the point in using Yumina over her.  Yeah. You're seeing that right. A mage with 1 Mag. Poor Yubello is just pretty bad. His only real asset is a decent Luck growth, but he doesn't do much else. I think literally every enemy on this map can one round him, so he's more of an escort quest than a character. Horrible bases and below average growths make Yubello pop up pretty often on those "Worst Character" lists. But, there is good news! Due to this nice starting position...  We can reach Sirius on our first turn with Ogma.   : I am Sirius, a mere traveler. I love how Sirius' portrait makes him stare directly at the player. At all times. : Oh, I see. I'm a little bit worked up right now. Sorry about the mix-up. Ogma makes it sound like he's just gotten a flat tire instead of spending the last few days sheltering two defenseless (Yubello doesn't count as having defense) children from vikingpirates. : Those children... : I'm taking care of them. Do you know them? : No, I don't... But I do know that, as things stand, you won't escape with them. As I understand it, the Altean army should arrive here, provided you reach the southern village. Please, allow me to distract the bandits, while you make your escape to safety. : I see. So Prince Marth is here, eh? Got it, thanks. I've got to ask though. Why help a group of complete strangers like us? It's almost like he might be somebody you knew/murdered a few years ago, Ogma. : I want to save the children. That is... all. : I see... Sirius... You said your name was Sirius, right? Let's meet again after we both get out of here! There's someone I need to take care of... The guy in charge of Grust's occupation, Commander Lang. I want to avenge a man named Lorenz... You–join me...! If I've got you on my side, then I'll be that much stronger. : Yes... That would be interesting. But first, you have to survive. Hurry and go! And thus we get the "mysterious" paladin, Sirius. Sirius is mostly a better version of Arran, with pretty solid base stats and actual decent growths compared to Arran's bottom of the barrel percentages. He does start to fall off compared to a properly trained Cavalier like Luke or a Rody with good stats, but he's a pretty hasslefree unit for most of the game, and he has some special utility come endgame that I'm not going to spoil. Although it seems many of you have already played this game, but eh.  Even without sullying his more powerful Silver weapon, Sirius makes short work of these Hunters. I suppose it's possible to not recruit Sirius just by never speaking to him. I don't think he attacks you either, but I could be wrong. Regardless, he's probably the easiest non mandatory character to get in the game.  In a sneaky display of "gently caress you", Intelligent Systems has hidden a village behind Marth's starting point, being menaced by this rear end in a top hat. If you don't down him on the first turn, he will destroy it.  It shouldn't be a problem.  This is disappointing in many ways.  But I am okay with this. The Armorslayer automatically does triple damage to armored knights and generals. This will come in handy soon, and is good to stick on someone who does low damage but is pretty dodgy, like Julian.  Don't want to forget the village either.  Luke is still great against these enemies. I know this is kind of a weird screenshot for showing these guys' position, that's my bad. Fire Emblem Fatigue was setting in while I screencapped this.  I won't bore you all too much with every move here, just know I'm skirting the lines here to try and get in a good position. Oh, another "gently caress you" from IS!  This thief is only a few moves away from destroying this village. Don't think you can block him with Yubello either, he'll one round the kid. You have to divert either Ogma or Sirius up here, which isn't a big deal, but it can be obnoxious if you forget. Oh, and see where Yumina is? Move her. Move her or this happens.  PIRATES CAN WALK ON WATER! If you can't tell I had a lot of false starts on this map. Rewind.  The fearsome Little Girl Slayer does not fare nearly as well against Ogma.  Nor do his pals against Sirius. The biggest issue here is that there are a lot of enemies here, and they'll sorta suicide into Ogma/Sirius while chipping their HP away. Yumina is nice here for keeping them alive.  Back in the main action, the pirates are now close enough to get carved up by Palla.  Draug isn't as good at the carving, but he's not too shabby.  And now, a Village.  : I heard Lord Wendell was living here.Generic Villager: Yes, that, er... was correct... Yesterday, a group of Archanean soldiers suddenly came and took the pontifex away. Although, Prince... He did leave this magic tome behind. I believe it's wind magic. Please, take it with you. So Wendell just kinda tosses magic books out like candy.  Shaver is a slightly worse version of Merric's specialty, Excalibur. It has a high crit rate in addition to that bonus damage against fliers, and in a game that loves flying enemies as much as FE12 does, it's useful. Regardless, Warren snipes Draug's injured pirate and gets this:  Not bad. I like all those stats.  Our other resident bowman will not be outdone, though.   Ryan holds the archer crown with an iron fist.   Draug cleans up the last enemy here while Steve embraces her new duty, healing people who don't really need it.  This is a lot of trouble for one dumb village. Haar had better be hanging out in there taking a nap or something.   Luckily, Ogma can hold the line.  gently caress YOU, THIEF   And now Marth begins his long trek to catch up with the others.  Keep it up, Steve!  So, now it's just a matter of crossing over to meet up with Ogma.  Here's probably the only thing Yubello will ever do. Drink it in.   Pretty unremarkable level, but it could be worse.  ...oh. You. Devil Swords/Axes have been a series staple for a while. These weapons are ridiculously powerful...but come with a secondary chance to hit yourself. Many promising characters have met their unfortunate ends by swinging one of these. Because of this, I never, ever use them. I mean, I guess save states could alleviate most of the issues here...but that's cheating. Edit: Turns out these weapons' chance to do the self damage is actually effected by your Luck stat.  That clears up these enemies, but we aren't done with this map yet.  Throughout just about this whole map Steve and Yumina are doing this. I'm not going to screenshot every time it happens so you don't all die of critical boredom, but just trust me, it happens. At the end of this turn, though.  I love this guy's portrait.   Also wait for me to forget this later.  There are a couple enemies down by Guile, but they aren't a huge deal.  I'm moving pretty much everyone over here to wait for Marth to catchup.  Sirius will make fine bait for the last few enemies. Oh, and remember what I said earlier? About me forgetting Guile's line about the reinforcements? Well, I'm sure they would come out of the forts we're near and not  The ones at the start of the map where I left Arran. Welp. He'll be fine! Three attacks later...   ABORT ABORT   SOUND THE REINFORCEMENT ALARM.  Now Catria's just showing off :/  I'll take this, though.  This is a really good level for Yumina. And wait, she gained HP?  Steve clears that right up. We are now split into two teams:  Team Save Arran's rear end  Team Kill Fat Pirate One of the generic axe goons charges Luke.  It was a bad idea.   Run, you cowlicked bastard, run!  Steve.png  This looks a lot scarier than it is with the units we have to handle it.  Case in point, Palla.  Steve heal! Moment of truth!  i have no more tears to shed. It wasn't the hair.  gently caress you Draug, I'm not in the mood. At least Marth is finally at the village. This was definitely worth it to get Haar, or maybe Hector, or Titania, or the obvious punchline of-   : Well, if it isn't Castor! What brings you to a place like this?  : Ah, Prince Marth! Erm... Actually, I need money for medicine for me sick mother. But I couldn't find any work in Talys, so I moved here instead. The most minor of returning minor characters, it's Castor! : I see... That's terrible... I do hope your mother gets better. Well, goodbye then... : ......... Wait!! Me mother, she's really sick... I need money, sir... There's an Oliver Twist joke in here somewhere but I can't find it. : Hm? Oh right, here. It's only a little, but I hope it helps. Give him the Bridge Key!  : Uhm... Thank you, Prince Marth. You don't have to be so kind to a guy like me... : Castor... That's a bit much... It's only natural to help someone in need. Marth is not really catching on. (Castor is a con artist) : No, Prince Marth! You've done so much for me. I want to help you. Please, let me fight alongside you. You have me life at your disposal!! Evidently a pretty bad one though. You already got the money!  But he joins up anyway. That Killer Bow is nice. Castor himself is a decent character. He's a bit faster than Warren, but his defenses aren't as good. Speed generally beats Defense on bow users, though, so he's not a bad alternative. Time to finish the job.  Oh. Well, sorry, man, it's okay, I've recruited people who have done worse.  Dick.  Guile here might be pretty threatening. He has a Silver Axe with his Hand Axe and boss stats, which can be an issue. I'm not sure though.  Because Warren critted him into next week.  But you're dead!    BUT SUDDENLY...  : Marth!!   : The Archanean League... Gra and Aurelis ambushed us. Our forces were annihilated and we lost the castle... Motherfucker! This keeps happening! : Wh-what did you say?! This can't be happening! Altea is... : drat! Our homeland has fallen to the enemy...: This is terrible beyond words... That which I feared the most has come to pass. Emperor Hardin likely heard Lang's story, and had us branded traitors. I guess he really did do "something bad". : I refuse to believe it. Hardin would never attack Altea! You're telling me that he believed Lang and truly thought that I wished to instigate a rebellion? Never! Hey, ready for Jagen to be the smartest person here yet again? : No, I agree with you, sire. This attack was too soon. It happened far too quickly. For an attack of this scale, a great number of preparations had to have been in place. It is likely... that the Grust campaign was a setup. As was the situation in Macedon. It's quite simple, really. They had you leave Altea, with your elite knights in tow, and then proceeded to attack our weakened defenses. Hardin had this planned right from the start. That's actually a really good plan as far as video game villain plots go. Props to Hardin, that's sneaky as hell. : That's preposterous! Are you implying that Hardin–with no provocation whatsoever–decided to attack his fellow nation? Are you seriously suggesting this was all an elaborate trap? No! I won't accept it... Hardin... why? Marth won't accept it though, because he really is pretty naiive about all of this, which is pretty sad. Elice was an rear end in a top hat, but she had a point. : Sire... Princess Caeda, what of the others? Is Princess Elice safe? Oh, speaking of that... : Elice, she... She gave herself up in order to let me escape with this message. Marth... I'm so sorry. She wanted me to warn you, no matter what... Sniff... : Caeda... Don't cry. I understand. Just knowing you're safe makes me happy. I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have left... You needn't have to go through this. We will take back Altea. Even if we have to fight Hardin, we WILL reclaim our homeland! What Marth lacks in logic though, he makes up in bravery and the sheer amount of people willing to help him. But after all that silly plot garbage, we get back to the REAL story that matters...  : Have you decided to keep it that way?: ...Do you think it looks funny? Well, it'll grow back eventually, if I leave it alone... Do you think I should return it to normal? : Well, it's your decision to make. You should do as you please. So what will it be? Are you going to go back to the hairstyle you had before? We get a decision here, but I just went ahead and reversed it. We'll get new hair options soon, and since this one didn't reverse the curse, I might end up reclassing Steve. That Levin Sword Myrm idea sounded nice.  : I believe that would be for the best.Jagen didn't like it anyway. Next time, after that plot bomb, we're finally going to take the fight to Lang on our way to Hardin. Hope you enjoyed this one, even though I missed a couple screenshots. Should not have played a bunch of Sacred Stones right before this. FE fatigue is a real thing. LordHippoman fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Feb 11, 2015 |

Don't underestimate Yubello. You can always reclass him into a pirate and have him wreck poo poo with a 50% strength growth. I think that's what the previous FE 12 LP did. Someone mentioned that a few pages back, I think. They referred to a little kid mage being made into a Zerker, so I figured it was Yubello. I mean, I guess it could work? It's Fire Emblem, anything can happen. It would admittedly be hilarious to see him with the super bulky model for Pirate. Sadly, I don't have class set mixing unlocked, so it's not going to happen in this run.

Hey, wait, I just realized Sirius' true identity! It's Zeke, from Fire Emblem Gaiden! Joking aside, Sirius can totally own without much work. His base Resistance is higher than pretty much any non-magic character is likely to ever obtain without Talismans, and it can only go up from there. Plus, as much as the RNG hates Ryan, it seems to love Sirius just as much. His growths are already drat good, but the RNG generally leans toward overperforming in his case. It's not difficult to get unlucky with one of the other Cavaliers and end up having to bench them partway through, but Sirius is all but guaranteed to be solid, and stands a fair chance of ending up the best of your enhorsed soldiers. Also, Yumina's pretty good, but a couple staves can only be used by Malicia. They're the same ones that were exclusive to Lena in Shadow Dragon, which makes sense, as some of the background material states that Malicia learned magic from Lena. It's yet another reason to keep Malicia on as primary staff-user.

But so far this game, the RNG has loved Ryan, so surely it stands to reason that it will hate Sirius. I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

One thing I like to do is bring everyone who gets bonus stats from How's Everyone, even if they're going to be completely useless and die in their first attack. This game has so many recruits, if the RNG decides it wants them to prove their worth, they're in the field.How Rude posted:Hey! Don't underestimate Yubello. You can always reclass him into a Yeah, Yubello can have some good growths, but he's got negative base magic before class adjustment (something like -2). He's really wasted as a mage, which is why I like to hulk him out as a fighter. Another thing I do to make this map faster and easier is let Marth visit the south village, then Rescue him to the north so he can get the north village and join Sirius and Ogma. I've had a lot of bad luck on harder difficulties in the past with keeping those two alive on their own, so getting another sword arm in the fight makes things much easier. The Rescue staff also has enough uses I don't often need all of them even by the end of the game, so I'm comfortable using it here.

That's something I'll have to keep in mind. I was thinking it used the Magic/2 formula, but I think that's for another staff in another game entirely.
