  1. Ok, yeah, hi, I don't post a lot, but reading that reddit AMA from thanibomb got me thinking about the story(I'm not gonna assume the AMA is necessarily wrong nor correct,and only the part about the crests is based on the leak, so I'll put a giant warning above that so you don't read it and spoil yourself unless you want to). So, beware, spoilers ahead if I turn out to be correct, I suppose? And maybe I'm not the first one to think of this or put this together and if so I apologize but really, most of this is just what I deduced myself or what I think is happening. Long ago, the crests were created by Byleth's crooked sword, the Sword of Creation(which thanibomb called it in the AMA, could be named something else, not that important), if you look at the first trailer, where the picture of the Divine Seiros and the person holding the Sword surrounded by the crests, it's probably depicting the legend of how the crests were made. Divine Seiros is the lady with flowers in her hair with blonde-green hair. She's fighting Byleth's ancestor. This is just speculation, but highly probable even regardless of the AMA. So, what exactly does the mural depict? Seiros ascending. To create the crests, she used some type of strong magic, in coalescence with the power of the sword, however, this also caused her to turn into a Dragon/Berserked Manakete. Edelgard, in the trailer however, refers to the crests as tokens of the Goddess's power(or the narrator lady in the beginning at least). This could either be due to Seiros gaining the power of the Goddess and therefore turning herself INTO the goddess, OR what I think is more likely, she was the one who created them(the crests), became a dragon(due to the whole manakete power-thing we all know happens when dragons go a bit wonky), and therefore was sealed inside a crest as well. Byleth's crest. Who's sealed inside Byleth and only Byleth can communicate with? None other than...Sothis. Sothis is Seiros, her mind reverted to when she was a child to keep her from going insane/turning into a Divine Dragon. We know that Edelgard carries the Crest of Seiros, which is less of a crest of sealing Seiros, but moreso Seiros's own power passed down as a crest, her bloodline, so to speak, as all the crests are known to pass down through bloodline/houses. So, what I think is going to happen, is that we're going to end up releasing Sothis, through the use of Edelgard's and Byleth's crest, no matter the route. Whether this is through a beserked-monster Edelgard or alive Edelgard doesn't really matter, but it will be done. The scene where Sothis(or, the awakened Sothis, Seiros) clutches Byleth's sword in the first trailer, is actually post revival, and she's longed for it. Maybe it was her way to ascend to the Goddess, but it never actually happened and it was covered up(she just turned into a dragon instead, as depicted on the mural). Because she was beloved by the land, no one dared say she didn't turn to rule the heavens. So what ARE the crests? Edelgard says they're to blame, as we know. They're simply magic that's genetic, like the Divine Crusaders in FE4, however there are only ten crusaders, but 21 crests. Personally, I think there might be ten other legendary figures that are also of importance, maybe to Seiros herself, but less so to the battle they faced when they were bringing order to the continent. Perhaps, ten of the crests were instead created when they were bringing down Seiros into Sothis, ten new legendary heroes who rose to defeat her in her crazy dragon-form, perhaps they killed the former ten crest bearers, or had to create crests to combat the ten who protected Seiros. Of course, it didn't matter if the ten original heroes died, it would just get passed down their bloodline(thanks blood witch Seiros), and so, someone of Byleth's bloodline had used the sword to do this(Byleth's ancestor wasn't connected by blood to the man we see wielding the sword against Seiros, but s/he did use the same sword to create the Byleth dynasty). Or perhaps the crests are less literally bloodline magic and maybe are like physical objects or imprints, but I think they're kind of like the mark in Awakening, the Brand that Lucina bears. This is all my personal speculation, somebody might have thought similar, I don't know, I was just thinking of this and had to get it out, sorry if this was posted somewhere wrong or something but it's what I believe. I mostly just used the first trailer as a basis for this though, and it's something I HAVE been thinking of for a long time. here BE spoilers(from the leak) below. (Well not specifically but the leak does state... a certain thing) Remember the trailer? this, and this link(for the post below) All this in combination with eachother is pretty damning for what the leak stated about the thing. Which makes me believe it,in part at least.
  2. I feel that Shadow Dragon was "modernized" in a way that the original game wasn't prepared to accommodate. The Weapon Triangle severely disadvantaged sword users in a game where most enemies are lance users, Ogma's 12 SPD w/30% growth is no longer impressive where the SPD cap has been raised to 25, Camus is far less scary in a game where 20 isn't the upper limit, Cain can no longer use Javelins right away like he could in the original versions, Hardin can no longer use the Silver Sword he was supposed to get from Chapter 4...etc., etc. After some fooling around, it occurred to me that the recalculation of weapon weights are probably one of the things that hurts the most. So would anyone happen to know how to make it so STR no longer offsets weapon weight? To make it so that Hand Axes always give you a -9 AS penalty, and the like? As poor and antiquated a mechanic as that is...it's what the original game was balanced around. Its removal is part of the reason why the C1-C3 bosses are so ridiculous on H5. So I'm thinking implementing it is an important step to making Shadow Dragon play more like how it was meant to be played.
  3. 5/17/2018 UPDATE: I posted this before; but the original guide suffered from a number of problems caused by bits of cutscene RNG, as well as my own lack of oversight. As such, I have decided to re-upload it, with all the fixes it so badly needed before. Thank you for reading! Alright then everyone, the time has come! It is time I gave you my step-by-step guide to maxing all the ranks in Lyn mode, getting Nils to Level 7, and somehow breaking Lyn's story even harder than Melth did in the process! So then, before we go onto the chapters themselves, let's go over the way this game determines chance, shall we? Now, to determine things like whether or not a character misses on a 74% chance of hitting someone, or whether someone gets 7 stats or no stats on a level up, this game uses a long series of random numbers that it generates when you start up the game. And of course, Melth has already gone over how two RN's (random numbers) are used to hit someone (and the following implications that that has on how you should read the percentages), but of course, things are much more involved than just that, and we're going to need to cover the rest of how randomness works in this game if you're going to understand anything I'm doing, and why it works. So then, first of all, the basic stuff. In addition to using two RN's to decide if your blow does or doesn't land, the game also uses RN's for other things. Firstly, if the game decides that if you managed to hit your enemy, it will then use another RN to decide if your attack is a critical or not. And if your Critical Hit% is higher or equal to whatever RN the game brings up, you will score a critical hit! And then, if and only if you actually get a critical hit, the game will then use yet another RN to decide if that critical hit becomes a Silencer critical, even if your class is NOT an assassin. In addition, the game does not have separate lists of RN's dedicated only to level ups, or dedicated only to combat, or anything like that. No, when you boot up your game, the game just generates one extremely long list of numbers, and then uses that list to determine everything. So essentially, in any single round of combat, you will always burn at least two RN's, even if you just whiff one Javelin throw on a dodgy enemy or whatever. Or, you might burn 8-10 RN's depending on how fast you are compared to your enemy. And if you're both wielding Brave Weapons, and you have 4 more AS than your enemy, you can burn as many as 36 RN's in a single round (assuming of course, that all of you and your opponents attacks, with all of them being criticals that you both somehow survived). So, how is any of this relevant? "Who cares?" you might ask. Well, here's the thing. You see, when you turn on your game, and it loads up it's long list of numbers...the numbers on that list are NOT random. Instead, the list is a pre-determined list that the game always uses when you start up your game. So if you turn your console on, that list will ALWAYS start the same way it did as the last 105 times you turned it on! Now, it won't do that if you use the A + B + Start + Select reset trick (which we will refer to as a "soft reset" from this time forward). No, you will still be on the same spot on the list that you were before the reset. And if you choose to "Resume Chapter", the game will remember where you were at on the list before you left, and return things to the way you were. BUT, if you actually turn off your game then turn it back on (which we will call a "hard reset"), then you will return right back to the very beginning of the list, at the same spot, every time. And what that means is, assuming you always clear a chapter the exact way, with the exact same characters, with the exact same movements, and the exact everything else, and do a Hard Reset before each run...you will always...always...ALWAYS, get the same results each and every time. So we're going to be doing exactly that. Let us begin! And remember... Hard Reset=Turn off your game then turn it back on. Soft Reset=Use the A + B + Start + Select reset trick. 2 RN's are used for hitting enemy. 1 RN checks for criticals if your attack lands 1 RN checks for Silencers if you get a critical (even on non-assassins who don't have that skill) Here's my affinity if you're curious. I have never S-Ranked Hector Hard Mode before, so if Melth thinks this affinity is best, who am I to argue :shrug: ? Anyways... Prologue (5 Turns): 1: Go 3 up and 2 left. 2: Go west without attacking. 3: Attack Batta from the east. 4: Finish him! 5: You are winner! Those there are my written notes for which exact sequence of moves will get us what we want. Note that you do have to go 3 up and 2 left on turn 1, because the game also uses RN's to determine how exactly enemies move. For example... Let's say that there was an enemy standing in the exact same spot that Lyn is standing in right now, and it wants to move to where the cursor is. Well, there are multiple ways that the enemy could do that. It could move like this... Or it could move like this... Or perhaps it could move like this... And so on and so forth. But in addition to burning RN's to decide which exact path the enemy takes to where it's going, the game also uses RN's to decide where the enemy moves relative to where you are. So let's say that the brigand here is only 4 spaces southwest of Lyn, and it wants to move closer to her. It can't reach her, so what does it do? Does it go 4 spaces north and 1 space east? Or would it go 4 spaces east, and 1 space north? Or perhaps it would go 3 spaces north, and 2 spaces east? The game uses the same list of RN's to determine which of these equally viable actions an enemy would take, and in this way, even little things like how exactly you move end up playing a role in how many RN's are burnt on the Enemy Phase. So when you read the instructions that I post for each chapter, you'll generally want to follow them very carefully. Speaking of which... Whenever you find an instruction like "Go west without attacking", and I don't specify just how far west you're supposed to go, that means that I'm telling you to go as far west as you possibly can, just I want the instructions to be as concise as possible, so I won't actually say "go all the way west" when I'm expecting you to do just that. Now look at this mess I've gotten myself into! I am literally attacking a full health Batta, with only 6 HP, on the Player Phase. This move would be tantamount to suicide in any normal playthrough. But if you follow my instructions, not only will Lyn not die... But she'll even get an awesome level out of it! In fact, my instructions are specifically designed to give awesome levels every time you level up, for everyone, not just Sain (though he gets slightly better levels than everyone else anyways). So then, before we go to the next chapter... ALWAYS do a hard reset on your game before every chapter. These notes are specifically designed to be as easy to pull off as possible, so if you botch something on a Chapter, you won't have to restart your entire run just for everything to go right. Just do a Hard Reset, and presto! You're still good to go! So, on to Chapter 1... Chapter 1 (5 Turns): Remember to use Weapon Triangle Advantage unless I SPECIFICALLY say otherwise. 1: Kent attacks brigand w/lance from below, Lyn gives a sword to Sain from the east, then Sain attacks from above with lance. 2: Sain 3 east while equipping sword, Kent gives sword to Lyn from the east. 3: Sain 2 east and 2 north. 4: Sain attacks Zugu. 5: Sain kills Zugu with sword, Kent 3 east w/lance. Here you will see the first, but certainly not the last, instance of attacking axe users with lances, not just to preserve the funds rank, but because things can go slightly different depending on if the enemy hits or does not hit your character during combat. In this case, that could be the difference between 5 RN's being burnt, or 6 RN's being burnt, which means we might not get levels like this! Ok, so they may not seem like the greatest levels ever...but actually, it's very important that we get a lot of Strength and Speed. Strength, so that units like Florina, Kent, and Lyn can ORKO enemies they otherwise wouldn't be able to (and therefore helping your Combat score). So for example, Sain needs at least 9 Speed to double brigands on Chapter 4, everyone needs 12 Speed to double mercenaries, and Flor needs 9 Strength and 13 Speed so she can instantly kill cavalries with an Iron Lance on Chapter 10. And if we're looking at these units joining in on Hector Hard Mode, Lyn needs at least 10 Strength in order to ORKO mercenaries on Chapter 16, even if they spawn with maximum defensive stats. So these Strength and Speed levels are actually very important to get, even if they come at the cost of other stats (though don't worry, our characters don't end up glass cannons ;) ). So then, Chapter 2... Chapter 2 (4 Turns): 1: Sain into forest w/lance, move Kent and Lyn forward, just outside enemy range. 2: Attack wall with Sain's lance, and put Lyn and Kent next to Sain. 3: Break down wall with lance, Attack east brigand with Lyn, put Kent 2 west of Glass, 4: Kent weakens boss, Sain kills him. Then Lyn trades Sain her sword in return for his Vulnerary and captures throne. Not much to say about this one. So, moving on... Chapter 3 (3 Turns): (Lyn Wields Mani Katti From Now On) 1: Lyn gets Wil, Wil attacks archer, Kent kills archer w/lance, Flor rescues Lyn from below, flies 2 west of eastern forest, then Sain gives Flor his Iron Lance and dumps Lyn onto forest. 2: Kent trades his Iron Lance for Sain's 30 use Iron Sword then heads for shop, Sain OHKOs merc, Lyn kills archer, then Flor goes 4 west. 3: Flor gets money from village, Kent buys Iron Lance and Sword, Lyn kills merc, and Sain attacks Miguel. First of all, Turn 1 of this chapter is kind of interesting in the strategy you use to low turn it. I don't talk about the strategies that go into most of the Chapters since many of them can be summed up as "go all out while sometimes doing seemingly pointless things"...but this one is an exception. See, in order to beat this in 3 turns, you either have to rescue drop Sain (or someone else strong) over the walls, or you have to drop someone like Lyn on the forest here. Otherwise, if you can't mow down most of the enemies on Turn 1, they're just going to end up clogging the passageway, and making it impossible to get to Miguel on time. In other news, Kent gets to buy a new Iron Lance, and everyone gets to have awesome level ups... Really, that's one of the most awesome things about following my notes. Not only do you get these awesome level ups, but, because the Lyn Mode maps are so simple, following a step-by-step guide is WAY easier than it otherwise would be if we were on one of the later maps. In fact, they're really not even that hard to do even WITHOUT having to look at them! I myself can go through multiple chapters without ever having to look them up, something I'd never be able to do if I were on, say, Cog of Destiny. Now then, I believe that's all for the important stuff. So now, here's everything else, with checkpoint pictures and everything! Chapter 4 (8 Turns): (NOTE BY RAINBUCKETS: "If you mash Start as fast as possible, you will actually skip the cutscene before the blue guys (Lyn’s group) spawns. If this happens, you won’t burn the right number of RNs. You need to wait for the blue guys to appear, then hit start. You will know if you do this incorrectly because Sain gets the wrong level up on turn 1") 1: Sain 3 west and 4 south to kill Brigand, Lyn below Wil, Flor east of Lyn, Wil goes 1 northwest, Kent 1 northwest of Lyn. 2: Kent kills west archer from above w/lance, Sain kills east archer w/lance, Dorcas and Flor hide DIRECTLY behind Lyn (right next to her). 3: Flor equips Iron Lance and goes 3 south and 1 west from northern merc, Kent goes 2 spaces northwest with lance equipped. 4: Kent kills bottom brigand from the right w/lance... Flor attacks the northernmost merc with Iron Lance from below (always assume she's using the Iron Lance unless stated otherwise). 5: Kent 3 north w/sword, Flor criticals the merc. 6: Flor attacks. 7: Kent uses lance on brigand, Flor attacks merc, Sain attacks Carjiga from forest with lance. 8: Stupid game mechanics quirk (rescue chapters always cost one more Turn than they're supposed to)! This chapter here is where things start getting a little harder, just because now you start having to do things in a specific order to get what you want. For example, on Turn 5, if Florina attacks her enemy before Kent attacks his, Kent won't get the awesome level that he's supposed to. So that starts making things a little more complicated. Anyways... Chapter 5: (Let Lyndis's Mercernaries move then spam Start; you'll know you got it right if the Mercenary near Bug has 3 Strength) 1: Kent goes 1 north and 2 east w/sword, Sain kills archer w/lance, Wil goes 1 south, Lyn recruits Serra and Erk, Erk goes south of Sain, then Flor rescues Lyn and goes east. 2: Kent kills brigand, Sain 2 south of brigand w/sword, Flor goes under merc and drops Lyn on the forest north of Bug, then goes 1 north. 3: Lyn kills archer, Sain buys two Javelins, and Flor kills Bug w/Slim Lance -------------------- JUN 6, 2017 UPDATE: REMEMBER TO USE THE ANGELIC ROBE ON FLORINA!! Just warning you now; the Chapter 7x strat will not work if you don't -------------------- Chapter 6: (Let Lyndis's Mercenaries move before skipping them) Turn 1: Have Kent get Door Key and go 3 east of Sain, then have Flor get Kent's Door Key while going east (make sure to re-equip that Iron Lance!). Give Kent a Javelin before Sain goes all the way north (making sure that Sain's got a free inventory space). Have Lyn, Matthew, and Rath do Normal Mode stuff, and have everyone else get closer to the castle). Turn 2: Sain kills soldier with his sword, Matthew gets chest, Flor kills soldier, and the main group goes into the castle (with Rath and Kent helping to get Lyn into castle, so you won't have to remember to move her on Turn 3). Turn 3: Have Flor open door and go up to soldier, have Sain open door for Matthew, and have Matthew get into position to get Armorslayer next turn. Turn 4: Flor and Matthew do their thing, Lyn kills archer, Kent attacks Bool w/lance, Sain finishes him off, and Rath ends the level. Nice! -------------------- JUN 6, 2017 UPDATE: USE THE ANGELIC ROBE ON FLORINA!! Seriously, the rest of the guide just will not work until Florina hunkers down and EATS that Angelic Robe! -------------------- Chapter 7: (Units Used: Lyn, Sain, Kent, Rath, and Flor) 1: Kent kills shaman w/lance, Lyn criticals archer from south with Nils's help, Sain equips Javelin, and moves next to Flor. Flor then equips the Slim Lance, picks him up, and goes 5 east and 2 south. To finish the turn off, Rath picks up Kent (MAKE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT KENT HAS A SWORD EQUIPPED, NOT A LANCE!), and goes onto the vendor. 2: Drop Sain onto Fort and then have Flor go 2 north and one east, where the mercenary will attack her from the south. After that, have Lyn go 2 east without attacking, drop Kent onto the Fort (MAKE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT KENT HAS A SWORD EQUIPPED, NOT A LANCE!), then have Rath go 1 west so that Nils can dance for him. 3: Lyn kills merc from above or below, have Flor critical brigand with her Slim Lance, Rath or Kent gets Pure Water with Nil's help, and then have Sain attack Heintz with his Iron Lance. And there we go. Now let's go and get Ninian's stupidly OP ring back! Chapter 7x: (Units Used: Lyn, Sain, Kent, Flor, Erk, Rath, Nils, Matthew, Dorcas) Matthew needs three free inventory spaces, Kent needs two free inventory spaces, Matthew and Lyn must have an Iron Sword, Dorcas must have an Iron Axe, and Rath must have Wil's Iron Bow (Short Bow is worth too much). Turn 1: Flor kills soldier (always use Iron Lance when possible, except when told otherwise), Matthew moves 2 west and 4 north, Nils dances for him from the left. Put Matthew 2 west of Flor, put Kent next to Nils and Flor, put Sain next to Nils with sword equipped, put Rath below Sain, move Lyn west as far as she can, move Dorcas and Lucius next to Lyn, and move Erk 2 west. Turn 2: Sain breaks wall, Matthew steals Vulnerary from west, Nils dances for him, Flor kills the archer from above, and then Matthew goes 2 south and 3 east. Rath goes 2 north and 1 east, Lyn west of Rath, Lucius below Lyn, Dorcas south of Rath, and Kent goes somewhere in treasure room. Turn 3: Matthew steals Vulnerary, Flor goes 3 south of soldier, Nils dances for Flor on pillar, Kent above Flor, Rath rescues Matthew and goes above Sain, then Sain drops Matthew onto chest and stops 2 west of Kent. Dorcas attacks cavalry from close up, Erk kills it from any spot in the east, and Lucius and Lyn go up (with Lyn equipped with Mani Katti). Turn 4: Flor kills soldier from the west... Matthew goes between Kent and Sain, unloads his stuff onto Kent, then steals Lockpick from above... Nils dances for Matthew from above, Matthew loots Hammer... Rath rescues Matthew from below and goes next to Kent, Kent drops Matthew below Nils and goes 1 north and 2 east of Nils, and Sain goes 2 south of Beyard w/Javelin equipped. Finally, have Dorcas go west of cracked wall, and have Lyn go as far north as she's able with her Iron Sword equipped. Turn 5: Have Dorcas kill the last soldier, have Rath hit the Thief, Sain kills Beyard with the Javelin... Flor kills thief, Lyn goes onto pillar and kills merc with Mani Katti, Matthew steals Vulnerary from remaining merc with help from Nils, and then Kent rescues Matthew (so merc will target Lyn on enemy phase). Now THIS one has a strategy that I'm particular fond of. There's a TAS for S-Ranking Lyn Mode out right now, and that TAS also steals all the Vulneraries just like Melth did. So my strategy is mostly an adaptation of that, except, instead of getting Matthew to crit like the TAS did, I found a way so that it wouldn't be needed. Chapter 8: Let Lyn and Co. appear on the map before skipping any scenes. Florina and Kent have Javelin Equipped (Units Used: Lyn, Sain, Kent, Flor, Dorcas, Nils, Lucius and Serra) Turn 1: Lucius, Dorcas, and Sain go east in that order. Then Lyn goes next to Flor, and Flor rescues her before going 4 south and 3 east. Then Nils dances for Flor from above, Flor drops Lyn onto bottom forest and goes north, Kent goes as far south as he can, and Serra goes east. Turn 2: Lucius goes 1 south and 4 east, Sain OHKO's mage from west w/lance, Serra heals Nils, Flor rescues Sain and goes 3 south of Nils, Nils dances for her... And then Flor goes south and drops Sain east. Finally, Lyn goes south into forest, and Kent goes 4 south and 3 east. Turn 3: Lucius gets Lancereaver, Sain puts himself right above Yogi w/lance equipped but does not attack, Dorcas kills Shaman, Nils dances for experience, Lyn kills archer, Flor equips Iron Lance and flies onto the southwest Forest tile that's DIRECTLY next to both of the eastern forts, and then Kent kills the Ballista archer. Now for the last enemy phase... And there we go! Chapter 9: If you mash Start, you skip an important cutscene and will fail the level. Lyn won’t kill the Cavalier on turn 1. In this case, it’s pretty deceptive because you can actually still get the exact same Dorcas level up on turn 2. We're not sure which cutscene it is, but RainBucket believes that it's Wallace's. (Units Used: Lyn, Sain, Kent, Flor, Dorcas, Nils and Rath) Turn 1: Lyn moves next to Flor, Flor rescues Lyn and goes 1 east of bridge tile. Nils dances for Flor, and then Flor goes 6 east, drops Lyn to the right, and then goes 1 south. Sain goes 1 east of Nils, Rath goes 1 north and 2 west of middle fortress, Kent goes into southernmost forest w/lance, and have Dorcas walk up to fortress as Wallace gets the Torch. Turn 2: Dorcas kills soldier... Flor goes 2 west of Eagler, Sain kills merc and then goes below Flor with Nil's help. Rath goes 2 west. Turn 3: Lyn kills cavalier, Sain attacks Eagler, Nils dances for Lyn from below, Lyn goes 1 west, Dorcas goes west next to fort, have Wallace go 2 south, and then put Rath southeast of him. That way, the northern brigand will aggro towards Kent and not towards Dorcas. Turn 4: Kent kills northern brigand w/lance, Flor kills archer, Sain kills Eagler... And then Lyn seizes the castle! Awesome! Chapter 10: Florina is required to use the Angel Robe for this to work. Don't worry, you can still use the Energy Ring! Also, keep having Nils dance every single turn here. (Units Used: Lyn, Sain, Florina, Dorcas, Nils, Rath, Serra, Rath and Dorcas): Turn 1: Flor attacks merc from above with Iron Lance, have Dorcas go 1 north and 2 east, have Nils go into the closest forest while dancing for him, put Rath west of Dorcas, and put Serra south of Dorcas. Turn 2: Flor criticals west archer from the north. Have Dorcas go 2 south and 1 east, have Nils dance for him from the east (careful how you move Nils), have Dorcas go 1 northeast, and have Rath go 1 northwest of Dorcas. After that, have Lyn go south, and have Sain go north of her. Turn 3: Nils keeps dancing with Dorcas next to him, and Flor goes 2 south. Turn 4: Same thing, except have Flor go 2 west. Turn 5: Have Serra heal Nils then go back to where she was (by having Nils play for her). After that, have Flor go into northern fort, have Lyn go into the river, and have Sain go 1 south. Turn 6: Have Lyn go another space south (at this point, I'm assuming you're always having Nils play) Turns 7-9: Keep passing the turns. Turn 10: Flor goes 5 east. Turn 11: Flor kills the shaman from above, have Serra heals Nils and then have her move back to where she was. Turn 12: Flor gets the Energy Ring and goes west. Turn 13: Flor goes 2 north and 5 west. Turn 14: Flor rescues Sain and goes south. Turn 15: Have Serra heal Nils and then go back to where she was. Flor goes south and drops Sain to the south. Turn 16: Sain attacks Knight with Iron Lance as Flor rescues Lyn and goes south. Turn 17: Flor drops Lyn south, JUST out of Lundgren's range, before flying somewhere else herself. Sain waits next to Lundgren with Iron Lance equipped. Turn 18: Decide who gets the Energy Ring (I personally would give it to Florina). Then have Sain kill Lundgren. Lyn goes onto the Gate, but doesn't seize. Turns 19-23: Pass the turns (turn off Auto-Cursor; you won't need it) Turn 24: Dorcas attacks Archer, Serra heals Nils, and then Rath rescues her (she won't be needed anymore) Turns 25-33: Pass the turns Turn 34: Dorcas kills archer and attacks the mage. Turn 35: Dorcas kills age then kills soldier (the Funds stat listed in the pic is BEFORE using the Energy Ring; you're free to use it on whomever you like. You'll still pass the Funds rank) Then Lyn seizes the day!

Combat: 127/314=40.45% (S Rank) Turns: 82 out of 83 Turns spent (S Rank) Survival: All characters survived (S Rank) And there you have it! I'd include a snapshot of my ranking for Lyn Mode, but, unfortunately, when I downloaded this game, I also used a save to instantly unlock Hector Hard Mode and all the supports. And since that save also happened to have all the rankings maxed in all the Hard Modes, well...there's nothing I can do about that. When you get a second S Rank in a particular mode, it does not override the one you already had. So, that's that. Thank you so much for reading everyone! Any questions?
  6. Hey everyone! I recently just changed my major from Communications to some other degree I don't wanna go into detail on. So I decided I would take my three years of Communication study and apply them to this half-funny, half-serious thread where I solve your problems! If you want advice, just begin your post with the words "Dear Sully:". If you aren't being advised, feel free to comment with your own advice! And nobody take this too seriously. I might start a thread for that somewhere else.
  7. I'm hacking fe4 using nightmare and I'm trying to make Eldigan/Eltshan drop his Mystletainn when defeated. The problem is if someone other than Raquesis/Lachesis (who I gave major Hezul holy blood) kills Eldigan/Eltshan, I can't sell the Mystletainn and it is stuck in their inventory. Is there any way I can make holy weapons sellable? I know its possible seeing Mangs' FE4 PM. I would really appreciate it if someone told me how to do it. Thanks in advance.
  8. I was lazy and this text from this website ( http://rpgcode.ultimaterpg.org/t3-roll-to-dodge-rules ) explains the rules Better then I could: The GM (Game Master) posts a situation the players are in. The players then post their actions, according to the conditions GM sets. The GM then rolls for the actions' results, and writes them out in his post. Then the players post actions again, ad infinitum. The action results are defined by a six-sided die roll: [1]: Epic Fail. Your efforts only worsened your situation. [2]: Fail. Your skills or luck were insufficient. [3]: Meager success: The situation didn't improve by as much as you have intended. [4]: Success: Your efforts were sufficient to achieve your goal. [5]: Epic Success: Your skills and luck have combined to ensure your success. [6]: Overshot: Your efforts were more than required for the goal's completion, and your luck is such that unfortunate side-effects are inevitable. If at any time something threatens a player, that player may make a roll to avoid the threat. For each action, any number of rolls may be made, as determined by the GM. Primary causes for multiple rolls include, but are not limited to: * Actions explicitly composed of multiple actions * Actions that imply other actions that are not declared free For every dodge roll, any number of additional rolls may be made, as determined by the circumstances, and any skills or special effects applied to the player" end website quote (i edited some part of the website text out here because I didn't agree with It) The goal of the game is to kill the other players. Everyone starts out with 100 Hp. I will probably accept 8 players for the first round but that could change if I get a lot of interest. Here is an example action: " I shoot an ak-47 at player x" This person would not be able to perform this action without having a ak-47 (they would have to use an action to try to pick one up or summon one) but if they did have an ak-47, I would roll a die for the person doing the action to determine the result. If the roll was a success, then I roll a dice for player x to see if x dodges the attack. You can make alliances during the game. If you have any questions you may ask me.
  9. Character sheet! Current Chapter List: Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 2x Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 (Continued) Chapter 4: A Royal Headache (Continued) [spoiler=Nefarious]"Sir, I've returned," she said, heading into the dimly lit office space, and coming up to the desk. She hung her head and scowled. "You failed then, did you? What of the new bodies? Where are they?" He didn't lift his head, simply continuing to watch his quill write, making sure it was taking his thoughts down properly. "They were... Disposed of. A group of mercenaries made short work of them. I do not think they would have made able bodies, if they were dealt with so quickly." She tried to excuse her failure, hoping it would slide. "Then, since you survived, I suppose you would make an able body?" He asked, glancing ever so slightly towards her face, which was now turning from shame to fear. "Sir, I, I-I've always done my best to help you... Please. One more chance. I have a feeling they'll be making their way here. Their leader questioned me about the note that was left. I am sure such powerful people would jump at the chance to explore the unknown. If they come here, you'll have more bodies than you'd ever need for your work." She smiled a bit, trying to hide that fear. Much to her pleasure, he looked back down at his paper. There are never enough. His face twinged with anger for a moment, but settled back into apathy. "I suppose," he mumbled, "but you will go to meet them, and see if you can take care of them before they reach the castle. I don't want to have to clean up any messes inside. It would make the current subjects rather... Unruly. You don't want that. I don't want that." "Yes, sir. Of course." She bowed slightly, and thanked the stars for her luck, despite having to go back out into that cold. Even if it meant giving her life, there was no way she was dying on a testing bed. ---------- The morning after came slowly for everyone, Makin, Ingverd and Vriska included. Despite normally being an early riser, presumably, having extra heat in the bed made Makin sleep a lot longer than she wanted to, even if there was no rush to leave quickly. She collected her things and herself, and yawned her way into the foyer, hoping the mercenaries would be ready and raring to get walking. And as inviting as the couch looked, to sit on while waiting, she decided that it would be best to stand and wait. She might've fallen back asleep if she had. Someone else was already awake, though, and getting their wagon ready. Isabelle was outside, brushing her horse, and making sure the reins were attached properly. Perhaps she didn't seem like one to be proactive, but when it came to making sure her own properties were in check, she was always on top of the ball. She'd even made space for some of the mercenaries to sit if they got tired of walking for too long. She wasn't entirely inconsiderate. As long as they didn't talk to her... Ingverd had woken up after Makin, but was far slower in his getting ready to leave than her, still fiddling with clothes and his weapons. Part of him really wanted to stay here longer. Maybe with more effort and time he could make a real impact on the place, rise through the city guard by fighting and working at the arena, get close to Marius, make a difference... But it seemed all so unrealistic, if Marius himself was still unable to make a change from the inside, with all his influence. And then there was Valha... Things had taken a turn for the better, at least in his mind, but he didn't know how to make them go any further. Was she even ready for that? Was he? He didn't know. Playing around was easy; you just didn't get attached, but now that he had... Well, new emotions are difficult to deal with, even for adults. He sighed. He got dressed. He wandered downstairs. "Morning, elf," Makin said with a wry smile. "You seem tired. Not much sleep?" "I suppose you got a lot... No, not really," Ingverd responded seriously. "Too much on my mind. Hopefully some old fashioned mercenary work will help clear it up. I need to get the blood flowing back up here so I can think straight." "Oh... Well, I hope you get the chance to." Makin was a bit surprised. Almost disappointed, too. She'd sort of wanted some of his witty banter to wake herself up more, but if he really wasn't feeling it, she'd have to wait for the rest of the mercs to wake up. Someone could provide, she was sure. Wonder what's on his mind that's got him this shaken up. Might be the town. Wouldn't be surprised... All the while, Vriska continued to snore.
  11. someone warp me to japan so i can revel in the insanity and stuff there for three glorious days: 8/15, 8/16, 8/17 c86 is love c86 is life (I'm so goddamn curious what it'd be like due to all the C86 book covers popping up in my pixiv feed.)
  12. Decided I wanted to do an Awakening run for whatever reason. I've decidecd I'm only going to use pairings I dislike, or flat out hate. I will be using Male MU. MU will be: +Magic -Skill I will be playing on Hard Classic. Rules I've set for this run. 1. No DLC grinding. 2. No using Renown, or the Bonus box. 3. No summoning spotpass teams for items. 4. Limiting myself to 2 skirmishes every 3 chapters. 5. I can buy from "Anna Shops" 6. All characters who will be paired must be used, so to make sure nobody gets too overlevelled. Pairings I know I will be using so far (Will update along the way): MU x Lissa Chrom x Sumia Kellam x Nowi Gaius x Tharja Henry x Olivia Donnel x Cordelia Inigo x Nah Yarne x FeMorgan Gerome x Lucina I will need help deciding for pairings as obviously I haven't read them all, so if you have a pairing you personally dislike, feel free to post it and I'll take a look at it later. I am unsure of when I will be starting this, I may do a practice run halfway through the game so I can get the hang of the game again, as I haven't played in a while and am rusty as hell.
  13. I had this idea by seeing the enthusiasm for 2vs2 Multiple Battles in the other topic. What if we made a tournament? It would be something like this: Scenario A) Everyone chooses his/her mate and subscribes to the tournament. The couples will have 1 week to prepare at least 3 pokémon each, make strategies, decide various things, etc. The couples will stay the same for the whole duration of the tournament. All the matches of the tournament will be played within one day. Scenario B) Everyone who wants to partecipate subscribes to the tournament. The couples will be then decided at random. The partecipants will have 1 week of time to prepare themselves. The couples will stay the same for the whole duration of the tournament. All the matches of the tournament will be played within one day. Scenario C) Everyone who wants to partecipate subscribes to the tournament. The couples will be decided at random at the beginning of each round. Before each round, every couple will have 3 days to prepare themselves. Let me hear your thoughts. :) Also if you have some better ideas, feel free to tell us.
