Chapter 22: 5/147
Meh chapter, especially with my horde rolling through. Magic Dragons are kinda suck. Screw the treasure, just blitz the throne.

Another stupid chapter. Glower sorcs are retarded, Gordin is again a boss by standing and pulling dragons and gharnefs and other shit. Etzel kills Gharnef in one shot with a Starlight crit. Beck gets C Staves.

Chapter 24: 1/152
I was originally considering warping Julian so that he could give Rescue to Lena, who would then Rescue Marth for the critkill, but I figure that not only does that mess with the spirit of the no warpskipping rule, it's also no fun. Instead, I decide to dick around with this chapter. This is H1, who the hell needs Marth and Falchion when you've got ETZEL? Oh, and 5 uses of the Again staff.
Beck (and his fancy new C Staves) warps Julian to Lena for recruitment. Sirius moves his full movement, and Etzel casts Again on him. Two bishops down. Nyna gets the Rescue staff from Sirius, and Rescues Merric. Repeat for Minerva. With all 4 bishops recruited, it's time to toast the dragon. Feena dances Etzel, who moves his full movement and Again staffs Feena. Repeat this, and Etzel should now be next to Lena. He crits Medeus with Excalibur for 63 damage, then Lena trades Etzel for the last remaining Again Staff. She rejuvenates Etzel, who proceeds to crit AGAIN, thoroughly blowing the ever-loving shit out of Medeus' candy ass.
Sweet, sweet victory.
As is the custom... character writeups!
Marth - This guy is obvious. You kinda need him if only to be a warm lump of flesh to sit on the throne. The fact that he kicked ass was a huge perk though, as it let me extend my forces a lot farther than I would normally with him leading the charge. Sword lock sucks, though, and he's got a lot of shortcomings. It's nice that he gets a pseudopromotion from the Shield of Seals, but it's not only too little too late, but it also robs the rest of your army of a vital resource. Still, he contributed a hell of a lot.
Draug - One of the bigger letdowns, considering he was my first pick. I think Draug is a bit overrated right now- definitely not as good as the cavs IMO due to his irritatingly low HP growth. Got a bit def blessed near the end, though, which helped smooth things out.
Gordin - WHAT THE DICKS. Seriously, I must have some kind of soul connection with this dude or something, because I pick him in drafts and he becomes a damn god. He did most of the heavy lifting in this draft, something I expected out of Draug or MAYBE one of my growth units.
Julian - Remarkably effective. Like Marth, sword-lock and no promotion hurts, as well as losing out on 10 levels of EXP due to said lack of promotion. The only thing I will note is that having a combat thief is very useful, since it means you don't have to sacrifice a combat deployment slot for thieving.
Rickard - "wat"
Feena - This girl should be 100% free in every draft. I can basically attest my success in this draft directly to her, simply because there's literally no way to speed up maps past a certain point without her. She really opens up possibilities, especially when combined with the Warp staff to get her next to Marth.
Etzel - The other HUGE part of my success. OHKOing flying dragons with Excalibur, being my only reliable staffbot, and charging ahead dispatching enemies with ease.
USING PHYSIC (like a boss)
KILLING WYVERNS (like a boss)
WARPING DANCERS (like a boss)
KILLING GHARNEF (like a boss)
KILLING MEDEUS (like a boss)
Really, what more can I say?
Maris - Bugger off, Grandjackal. If she wasn't so bloody defense and resistance blessed, she probably would have been the least effective member of my team (and with her low Speed, she almost was in some ways). However, pouring enough money into a character will make them usable in H1... to an extent.
Jake - See above, subtract a master seal and defensive blessing. Jake was a lot of effort to get a "mediocre" unit, just like Maris. With plenty of resources and a little luck, he's usable... but just barely.
Beck - Ugh, don't let dondon talk me into getting another shitty character "because his weapon levels are good". His stats are awful, bow rank is meh in this game, and his growths aren't on par with Jake's to justify his low starting stats. I was thinking of doing what Oval did with Samson, but I just couldn't justify pouring that much cash into what I had basically turned into an assy staffbot all game. Still, having a throwaway character to use for staffbotting was kinda nice.
Est - See Jake and Maris, except instead of getting a shitty unit, I got an amazing unit. Still pretty awful on any difficulty but H1, but if you're going to sink some money into a character on H1 for the arena, Est is a remarkably not bad choice, most definitely. She was quite the boon to my team once she showed up.
All in all, a fun run, and AN ACTUALLY COMPLETED DRAFT PLAYTHROUGH HOLY CRAP. Fun racing with you guys (especially Oval), and I'm looking forward to the next one I participate in.
