It's time.

Rules:
1. Must go on Ephraim's route and the difficulty is hard mode.
2. Only Eirika, Ephraim, Ross, Garcia, Neimi, Innes, and Gerik can be used.
3. Once a unit promotes, they can ONLY use bows. They may use whatever weapon they have before hand until then.
4. Healers can be used, but they can't promote.
5. Meatshielding from unusable units ISN'T allowed. Yes, that means Phantom Ship will be free of Seth and Duessel. THE HORROR.
6. Colm and Rennac can only steal, open chests, and dig up items in the chapter 15. Nothing more.
7. No arena abuse, Tower of Valni, skirmishes, or Lagdou Ruins.
8. Tethys is free to use.
9. Dozla is useable in Phantom Ship.

Make me happy and do Eirika/Innes A. Eirika can get a B with Ephraim and Innes a B with Gerik. Also, I'm assuming Tethys isn't allowed as well?

In any case, good luck. It's probably going to suck doing earlygame with just Eirika, Ross, and Neimi.

Wait, you have Garcia too.

Wasn't thinking about supports, so thanks for reminding me. Good suggestions. Ross and Garcia's A support will be helpful for the both of them.

Tethys...what do you think? Should I use her?

And it's just early-game, but chapter 6 will be quite worrying. I'm hoping Eirika and Neimi will be nice and get STR, and Ross and Garcia get SPD.

Hey, it's Giga. :P

This should be fun, if a little challenging.

Aaaaaand... Cosmic Harold, are you Mega? XD

Prologue: The Fall of Renais
Turns taken: 5

Spoiler -

After skipping tons of exposition since I already knows what happens, we begin the prologue, which takes longer than it needed to. Seth hides across the bridge while Eirika 1HKO's the two fighters that wanted to mess with her. The boss, though, unluckily hit Eirika twice while he hid his fat ass in the woods. At turn 5, he was killed.



What an amazing start.

Chapter 1: Escape!
Turns taken: 9

Spoiler -

Seth gives Eirika his stuff and waits in the corner while the princess 2RKO's enemies since she refuses to gain STR. Soon, Gilliam and Franz come to assist us, but this is what they end up doing along with Seth once the reinforcements from the southeast come around:



This kills me. It truly does to see this happen.

Eirika then proceeds to kill the boss and get a great level up (WHICH INCLUDES STRENGTH) in the process. We then take our gold, the beautiful Vanessa, the healer with the epic stache, and move on.

BTW, death count so far:

Ross: 1
Garcia: 1

I'm being way too careless.

Chapter 2: The Protected
Turns taken: 6

Spoiler -

Vanessa flies over the mountain to rescue Ross, Gilliam hides above the northwestern forests, Seth and Franz get ready to rescue if necessary, Eirika gets the red gem, and Moulder gets the elixir. Soon, Franz takes Ross from Nessie so Eirika can recruit him, Nessie flies over to Garcia to rescue him, Seth takes and drops him, and his son recruits him.

Garcia then proceeds to charge down and hide in a fort while the bandits attack, and Eirika handles the bandits that emerge from the village that Nessie soon flies over to. After Bone is killed, all is said and done. Hooray.



Eirika's being strangely nice today.

Chapter 3: The Bandits of Borgo
Turns taken: 15

Spoiler -

We finally get Neimi, who uses bows off the bat. Unfortunately, she's only used for chip damage at this point.

She and Ross chip damage off of bandits through the wall, and the former recruits Colm. Garcia kills the bandit in front of the three chests so the thief can loot. After all the walls break, the enemy thief steals Garcia's vulnerary, and we don't get it back.

We then murder the boss, get Eirika's bracelet back, and head on to the Za'ha Woods. (Where I live.)



Thank you for getting SPD, buddy.

Chapter 4: Ancient Horrors
Turns taken: 16

Spoiler -

There was an image of an HP, STR, SKILL, and SPD level up for Neimi here. Dunno what happened to it.



Ho ho ho ho...





Ah man...had a lot of good luck this chapter. Garcia even got SPD in a level up, which is very well needed. Vanessa was only deployed to keep Artur company. Lute's village wasn't visited, but she did join our army. It's a shame she won't be used.

This chapter, though it took a while, was a walk in the park. Garcia was definitely the MVP for this one.

Chapter 5: The Empire's Reach
Turns taken: 14

Spoiler -

Gah, this chapter's so annoying, at least at the beginning with those fucking bandits. Ross died once, Natasha died once, Garcia died once, Vanessa the ninja died once, ugh. Normally I would have no problem with this chapter, and I still shouldn't since not everyone is using a damn bow.

Anyway, the western side of the map was completely ignored and only two villages are saved; the one with the armorslayer and the one with the dragonshield. That guiding ring would've been nice for some gold, but our supply is fine so far.

As for level ups, Ross and Eirika got lackluster ones, but...





Garcia and Neimi got great ones. And is it me, or is Garcia's SKILL above average?

After Natasha recruits Joshua, the main annoyance of the chapter comes to a close. Eirika takes his killing edge and proceeds to murder the boss with the armorslayer.

Your characters are getting super blessed. I hope it keeps up, for your sake. Also, I think you should use Tethys. Dancers are pretty much free in all non-FE4 drafts now, and most people who do specific playthroughs like these usually seem to use them. So I say you should use her.

[Milksword]

You're having amazing luck with this, man. Garcia and Eirika in particular are getting stats I normally wouldn't even consider them having XD

Chapter 5x: Unbroken Heart
Turns taken: 28

Spoiler -

This was basically an Ephraim solo, and a long one at that. I could've got the elixir from the archer on the far right, but meh.

Orson hands his weapons to Kyle and Forde and Ephraim rushes to the throne, but first clearing the way in the treasure room so the killer lance could be obtained. Ephraim in all used six elixirs during this chapter; his, and the one from one of the chests.


If only his Great Lord caps weren't so fucking low.

Stats so far for our main four so far:

Spoiler -

I'll have to say Garcia's getting SPD blessed. It's a bit too early to speak for the other 3, but Eirika's STR's looking a bit iffy.

Hey, this chapter's pretty annoying with only inaccurate axe users, fragile archers, and a lord who can't even 1RKO most of the more difficult enemies. Not to mention the spider in the mountains trying to take our Orion's Bolt away makes it even MORE annoying.

I took a mad dash through this chapter, so I could get that Orion's Bolt. At this rate, it's looking like Neimi will become a Ranger (or Forest Knight, since it sounds cooler). Eirika handled the mercs, fighters, and knights at the bottom, and Garcia, Neimi, and Ross handled everything else. Moulder and Natasha healed when necessary, Colm was deployed to see through the fog, and Vanessa rescued anyone that was in the wake of the cavalier reinforcements.


I know this doesn't look bad, but there's pain behind us...and Neimi died a turn after.

Ross finally got to level 10, and Neimi's the only one who got a good level up. *sighs* But hey, we got the Orion's Bolt.

Chapter 7: Waterside Renvall
Turns taken: 13

Spoiler -

Good Lord...there's TWO of them now?

Garcia waited for the mage and fighter (and got a point in SPD while killing them) up north while everyone else charges forth. Ross gains as much EXP as he can to get on par with the others, and Eirika got a near-perfect level up; she only missed out on RES. I tried to get a screen capture of it, but I failed miserably.

After I waste about 3 turns trying to have Garcia hit the stupid boss with the Halberd, we move on.

Chapter 8: It's a Trap!
Turns taken: 20

Spoiler -

Eirika goes to the left alone to meet up with her bro, Kyle, and Forde, the latter two whom gave Ephraim whatever else they had so he could handle the entire left side of the map with his sis, and everyone else went north. Vanessa ferried Colm over and we get the silver sword, angelic robe, and Elysian Whip from the chests, and Garcia, Neimi, and Ross killed whatever they could. Tirado didn't stand a chance against Garcia and Ephraim.

As for the level ups for this chapter:






I'm grinning like a huge idiot.
