Board 8 > Ol Pun plays Fire Emblem Awakening. Hawt Casual Waifuing *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

I did the chapter where the general was like I WEEP FOR EMMERYN TOO

It didn't look like I could recruit him

Soooo I just murdered him

"Please just spare my men"

*already killed everyone *

S...sure

Oh, and I managed to get the master seal the thief had
---

Soooo I decided to take a sneak peek on 2 things.
1. Flavia joins on chapter 23

2. There's only fucking 25 chapters

I was gonna hold off on Tharja since I saw and swooned over Flavia first

But Jesus that's so late into the game

Soooo I think Tharja is back on top
*of me*
---

Okay airship. What if i make chrom marry maribelle
---

Your save file corrupts and you go bald.
---

There end up being a lot more than 25 chapters to actually do if you pair up all the girls

I think Chrom/Maribelle is good in terms of how strong the kids end up after grinding, but not so hot without grinding. On Normal difficulty it really doesn't matter much though. Unless you're playing Lunatic you can do whatever pairings you feel like without it hurting anything

You get a tactical nuke if you follow that up.

It's just the hardest map in the game getting punched in.
Said map has 0 story to it. It's literally "you're powerful so come fight these powerful foes. Oh, you're REALLY Strong, fight even stronger foes".

Every enemy on that map is as strong as or [fairly often] stronger than the final boss on Lunatic. It doesn't give a flying fuck about difficulty mode either. Normal and Lunatic+ both have the same experience on that map [save for 3 inconsequential dudes, whom in fact due to an AI quirk are more dangerous on Normal than on Lunatic]
---

I meant I'm not watchin that because it's like 20 minutes long
---

So but like

Sully is stronger than Maribelle

So logically sullys chrom baby can do that too and even more

Incorrect, because it's not just stats.
Classes are really what matters.

Also that was magic. Yes, Magic. Lucina reclassed to Sage.
---

What's the spoiler scene the happens different if you marry lucina?
---

Yeah, Sully doesn't get magic classes, so Lucina can't do that if Sully's her mother.
---

You so do not need to worry about pairings in order to beat the game. Don't sweat it.

Kind of a spoiler. >_> I'll send a message.

Chapter 21 finale.
Heavy Spoiler.

Right after Validar forces Robin to steal the Fire Emblem from Chrom, Lucina figures out it was Robin who killed her father, (hence the Premonition scene) and attempts to kill Robin over it. If you married her, you get this scene where Lucina ultimately winds up breaking down and thinking for herself for once and deciding that her husband's life matters more than the risk to her father/the entire world since you know, that whole Grima thing. It's more poignant since her entire character arc is centered on the idea that she matters, that she belongs, and she can put herself first. It's touched on in her Hot Spring Scramble conversation with Robin if they're married as well, where she says she can't put him first if it's her duty or him... then when faced with just that, she does.

---

Also, just to clarify

I always am, and always will be, doing whatever the hell I want. I'm just dicking around with these posts

Any changes I've made are coincidental and are not the result of minmaxing

Ah interesting... does this hint at them being the canon pairing?

I took a look at the DLC

jesus christ theres alot of it
---

And also theres no way to buy large chunks of it. Sets of three I think are the biggest you can get. So if you decide want it all youre looking at well over the price for the game itself.
---

I paid $15 for this game through a crazy Best Buy Black Friday deal some years back. So it's definitely probably not worth it

25 Maps.

Quick Explaination of them:
Gold Pack: Golden Gaffe, EXPonential Growth, Infinite Regalia:
These 3 are Grinding/Resources Maps.
Golden Gaffe will break the game. Risen have Gold. Kill them. They don't attack [They do counter attack though]

EXPonential is garbage except for getting the ball rolling on units on LUNATIC(+). Anything below that, it's just not worth using.

Infinite Regalia gets you 3 A-rank "Timeless" Weapons (Or a Bolt Axe because fuck you that's why) (Or Wolfberg for Walhart) each time you run it. Because you need to outfit every sword user with Ragnells.

S1: Champions of Yore, Lost Bloodlines, Smash Bros, Rogues and Redeemers.
These get you more Einherjar, but the real trick is the second [for Lost Bloodlines and Smash Bros sets] and third map of each.
Lost Bloodlines 2 and Smash Bros 2 net you an item that lets a character reclass into Dread Fighter [Sword, Axe, Tome; Skills include Aggressor (+10 Attack on Player Phase) and +10 RES] and Bride [Lance, Bow, Staff; Skills include Bonds (Passive AoE Heal) and Rally Heart (+2 All Stats, +1 Movement Rally)] respectively.

The Third Map grants an item that gives a character a skill:
CoY3: All+2 [Exactly what it says on the tin. Increases all stats by 2. Which is pretty powerful actually. It's roughly 10 levels worth of stats]
LB3: Paragon [Doubles EXP gained. Note: This map also is the best map to grind EXP and Weapon Rank on]
SB3: Iote's Shield [Negates Flier Weakness]
RaR3: Limit Breaker [Increases Stat Caps by 10- which lets you, through more leveling, increase all stats by 10. Yes, it's as busted as it sounds.]

You can readily farm any of these maps, play it as often as you'd like.

S2:
Scrambles: Harvest, Summer, Hot Spring. Conversations Galore. Not much else to say. You can farm Seeds of Trust off them, but that isn't the point. These are just a fuck ton of conversations with various characters. Including some that don't talk otherwise [cross-generational, or just don't support]

The Future Past:
ALTERNATE ENDING. It's the same level as the Endgame map itself, so... don't go in if you're not ready for that.
Not much else to say, and can't without spoiling the hell out of things. Ware the boss. ??? is kinda tragic.

Challenge set:
Again kinda exactly what it says on the tin. These are all post-game maps. Endgame or later.
4 maps with unique conditions:
Death's Embrace - Can you survive at 1 HP? This map knocks all units down to 1 HP.
Five Anna Firefight - Air Power is the only way now. 5 Merchant Defense Map. Oh, the ground is chopped up by lava and there's damage tiles.
Roster Rescue - Big enemies, moving walls.

Apotheosis - ...Extremely powerful Foes. Stats soar into the 70s, average trash in this map is as tough as Lunatic final Boss. Lunatic+ Skills are here on Normal [It ignores your actual difficulty]. This map... it's the MinMax map. You'll have extreme difficulty if you don't strategize for it, unless you have the other DLC and utilize the hell out of it [ahem, Limit Breaker] (That video I posted earlier is a clear of this map)

[Insert Curtains here]
Summer Scramble. Chrom, Cordelia, Tharja, and Gaius in Swimsuits.

Hot Spring Scramble has Lucina, Inigo, Owain and Severa in Yukatas.

Note that if you exclude Chrom and Lucina, it's the same characters who are also in Fates.
---

Aaaaand chrom married Olivia
---

literally how did you even manage that
---

You had all that talk about Sully and didn't even get a support with her?
---

I already said I might be saving sully for me or donnel.

I seriously dont know what I'm doing anymore lol

WINGIN IT

I paired up chrom and Olivia as soon as I saw them gain hearts together and it worked!
---

I will say if i knew there was going to be a time skip I probably would have married my people more sooner
---

So if a dragon has a kid, will the kid transform into a dragon too?
---

Yes. They can transform into a dragon.
---

Is that all they do tho?
---

I seriously forgot about half my army

The douchebag archer, stahl, libra, gregor
And panne
These guys suck
---

Fuck you, Gregor is best.
---

Heroic Bigpun posted...

They can reclass to something else. If you keep them as a manakete that's all they can do.
---

I think I'm totally having Nowi get with Donnel
---

unless another chick who shows up soon shows up, I think I'm gettin with Tharja as planned now

Jesus man, I feel bad for Sully

None of my plans for her has panned out lol
---

So how is Olivia as a unit? I feel compelled to use her now that she's chroms wife
---

She's a dancer so she's a must have always imo.
---

This topic is making me want to replay Awakening to see how I feel about it these days. But then I remember I still haven't played Echoes, and all I've heard tells me I would totally adore that game, lol.
---

Heroic Bigpun posted...

She's a dancer. Dancer = good.
---

I would generally agree with Dancer = good but with Awakening's ninja reinforcements I found Olivia a liability much of the time. Probably not much of an issue on Casual though.
---

On normal the reinforcements don't act on the turn they spawn IIRC

Even on higher difficulties it's usually not much of a problem, there's like one map where the reinforcements are really dickish
---

I just did the dock mission

Cheriche joined the party

we're at war with another country so we're gonna team up with our former foe!
---

Cherche very underrated waifu material
---

That harbor mission is super silly on Lunatic and pretty much the part where you start realizing how poorly balanced the game really is
---

Cheriche is just Cordelia but on a dragon

with that said Weaku must be in heaven, he gets TWO of them
---

They have very little in common besides hair colour <_<

Very different stats, classes and personality.
---

Cherche so good
