If you don't mind, could you please tell me the general strategy you used for all the chapters in the game?

If you don't mind, could you please tell me the general strategy you used for all the chapters in the game?

I'll do the ones I haven't already explained on the first page.

1: Oscar carried Ike, Titania dropped behind her. Titania kills boss, Ike seizes.
2: Charged with Titania when she came.
3: Just charged.
4: Titania went full move while the others barely did anything at all. Killed the boss on turn 2 enemy phase with a Hand Axe.
6: Oscar, Titania and Ike went west then south. I believe Titania weakened the boss and Oscar got the kill.
7: Not much to say. Charged west with Titania and tried to let everyone else get the remaining kills.
9: Charged with Titania. Once I got Marcia, she rescued Ike, then Oscar took Ike and dropped him.
10: Just charged with Lethe, Titania, Oscar and Marcia.
11: Had to use Smite on Titania and Shove on a promoted Marcia to reach the arrive square here. Kieran and Oscar killed the boss after Titania weakened him.
12: Promoted Marcia killed almost everything.
13: Got all the chests with Volke and Sothe to make the ravens retreat.
14: Charged with Marcia.
15: Marcia got the Boots, Volke got the Physic and Marcia one-rounded Muarim on turn 2.
17-1: Charged with Marcia.
17-2: Shoved Marcia with Lethe, Mordecai and Muarim, then rescued and dropped Mordecai on turn 1 with Kieran and Oscar. Mordecai used the Demi Band to transform and smited Marcia to Arrive.
17-4: Just got some shoves to kill Oliver.
18: Just charged with Marcia and some others.
19: Reyson got shoved like 8 times to be able to Vigor Marcia to a place where she can kill the boss.
20: Marcia weakened, Calill got the kill on the boss. Tanith arrived.
22: Bolting crit. I can do this without RNG abuse but that would be a waste.
24: Just shoved Reyson then used the Rescue staff on him so he wouldn't get killed. Marcia was able to reach in 3 turns with Reyson's help.
28: Vigored Marcia with Reyson, and dropped Ike in the middle of a bunch of enemies so he'd get into Wrath + Resolve range.
E: Wrath + Resolve Ike.

Where did you use your Laguz Stones??

Chapter 18 can be completed in 6 turns (possibly 5) if Reyson uses a Laguz Stone.

I can do a 6 turn in my current draft with only Titania, Kieran, and Tanith. None of them have the boots.

With a boots!Marcia added to that team, I think 5 turns is definitely possible.

I didn't bother using Laguz Stone Reyson because I doubted I'd be able to reach those raven reinforcements in time, but it might be possible. Though I'm still skeptical because there's an absurd amount of untransformed ravens.

[Hawk King]

Like I said, with just Titania, Kieran, and Tanith to escort transformed Reyson I could get 6 turns pretty easily, and I havent given the boots to anyone yet.

6 turns is a guarantee, and with Muarim, Mordy, Lethe, to shove/smite the mounts, and other footies to shove Reyson, 5 turns might even be possible. It would be hard though.

On EP 6 there are 3 transformed Ravens who will self-destruct. So you only need to kill 4 UNtransformed Ravens when PP 6 ends. For a 5 turn you would need to kill 5 UNtransformed Ravens when PP 5 ends.


Stealing that 1st bolting might even be possible on turn 4 if you can get the Sage to switch tomes on turn 3. The mounts and Reyson should be past Shinon on turn 3 so they wont be targeted.


Hmmm, I kinda wish I could try this now...

[Olwen]

Have you done this before, or are you speculating? You use the word "can" a lot, so I get the impression you haven't done it yet, though I could be wrong.

If you have, I might do another playthrough later on because this is a quick game for me. I wanted to try a couple more turn cuts as well.

[Hawk King]

Sorry for not being clear.

I CAN and did do it in 6 turns with the team I described without any trouble. So with a full team and no Bexp restrictions it would be a guarantee.

The 5 turn is purely speculation.

[Olwen]

Alright then, once I finish OoT Master Quest I'll get busy on another playthrough. I think I may be able to cut one more turn from 28 as well, so hopefully it'll be worth it. I'll also look for a few more turns to cut, if that's even possible.

[FionordeQuester]

By the way, who would you give BEXP to, and at what exact Chapters would you give them the experience?

[Hawk King]

^ are you being serious? Cause with this and your last question, it really seems like you are just trying to be a pest...

[Olwen]

By the way, who would you give BEXP to, and at what exact Chapters would you give them the experience?

Sorry, but it's like you're questioning my data. :/

Obviously I can't remember all of that, but I'll tell you all the characters that I gave bexp regularly to:

Ike
Oscar
Kieran
Marcia
Ilyana
Mia
Mist

[FionordeQuester]

...I'm not trying to be a pest. I'm just legitimately curious, that's all. I mean, I know that you dropped like, every single point of BEXP you could into Marcia at Chapter 10, but after trying it out, I was able to almost promote Oscar even at Chapter 8, so I figured that you had to have used a little bit of BEXP before Marcia in order to have only just barely had enough to promote her.

Of course, now I realized that Titania may have been at a lower level than my Oscar was, as he was Level 7 by the time I got to Chapter 8.

And then of course, you only had Ike at Level 11 or something by the time you were getting close the Chapter 17, so I knew you couldn't have BEXPed Ike before then, and I also knew that you were trying to get Oscar promoted by Chapter 17, so I logiced that out.

But that still leaves me confused as to when Illyana, Kieran, and Mia got BEXP, so that's why I asked. I'm sorry if I came across like I was being yet another doubter of your work, I mean, believe me, I know what that's like. I remember trying to convince a whole bunch of guys at Gamefaqs that the Fighter/Fighter/RedMage/RedMage party was faster at beating Final Fantasy 1 than a Fighter/Fighter/Fighter/Red Mage, but no one would listen to me, to the point where I had to create two simeltaneous playthroughs to try to prove that I was right...




I would've said something earlier, but I couldn't find the exact threads where I had those big arguments with the guys at Gamefaqs. But, I'll dig them up if you wish.

It's alright. Anyway, Kieran and Oscar both got equal amounts of bexp while they were aroudn (Kieran got a bit more early on to catch up to Oscar). Ilyana and Mia got random bexp throughout every chapter.

[FionordeQuester]

I'm guessing that happened every time she wasn't quite sufficient for the role you wanted her to play in those chapters?
