Nice to see a couple new videos up.

But oh man, I checked, and Tiamo hasn't gained Speed once within eight levels (i.e. she's still at base) with a 60% growth as a Peg. Knight (Sumia's the one that has 70% growth). Thank goodness for doubles and Speed +2 I guess.
And so now you're only left with Olivia and the village girl for Krom to marry. I think I know who wins that one (well, Krom either way).
I'm also interested to see who all these seals are going to. I see Kaiser and Liz are closing in on 20 so I would guess they'll be first.

Videos are still processing/uploading, but I'm going to be shutting off my comp soon so I need to make sure they are in the processing state at the very least.

Just caught up. Have a few questions:

1)I know you haven't played it, but you think Nosferatu tanking would be viable on Lunatic? Seems gimmicky, but looks like it's working out for you so far
2) Do pairings really matter if you don't plan on using the kids?

1)I know you haven't played it, but you think Nosferatu tanking would be viable on Lunatic? Seems gimmicky, but looks like it's working out for you so far

I finished my Lunatic run a while ago. The thing about Lunatic is, unlike most things in FE, the enemies and maps actually get tougher as the game goes on. Much tougher. The Final was absolute insanity, with enemies so powerful most of my team needed care to so much as take them on one-on-one. MU was incredibly powerful, having capped like five stats by that point, and could kill them without too much trouble - yet he could only survive about three hits, and most enemies were impossible to dodge.

Inverse, despite having lower stats, had similar offensive power, especially when buffed. The difference is, she had access to Nosferatu. And that made all the difference. With her insane offense and being able to survive just long enough on her own to use it, she could easily heal off the colossal damage from the enemy attacks. That chapter was absolute insanity - yet using the Nosferatu books she and Sarya had joined with, she took on an entire half of the map herself. And it was still insanity. Yet if I had bought more books beyond those two (which lasted about four turns together) and had reclassed other characters such as the even stronger MU to make them also able to use dark magic, it would have absolutely destroyed that challenge.

So the answer is yes. Nosferatu is completely game-breaking, even on the insane Lunatic mode.

Lunatic+, however, is probably a different story. Holy Shield+ lowers the damage output enough that it'd be hard to heal enough to offset the damage, and Counter does more damage than the user would heal. So while I haven't tried it myself, characters shouldn't be able to simply charge into enemies with Nosferatu and rack up easy kills on the enemy phase on Lunatic+. The player phase is easier because you can circumvent Counter with the ranged attacks, but the whole importance of Nosferatu is the easy enemy phase survival.

2) Do pairings really matter if you don't plan on using the kids?

Supports affect stat gains from Double and Dual Support, and activation rates for Dual Attack/Guard.

Getting S supports will also open up that child's stage which could be used for more training or items, regardless if you use them or not.

I know about Double/Dual, was just wondering if it really mattered who the parents were (aka having one set of parents over the other). Doesn't seem like it does, if you don't use the kids. Apart from the double bonuses, but that much should be obvious.

Edited by Don Draper, 23 August 2012 - 11:34 PM.

[Othin]

An S support doesn't give better Double bonuses than an A support.

[Lord Raven]

S gives better support bonuses though but only slightly.

[Lord Raven]

I might continue this on Saturday if there's enough interest and if I've got enough free time.

[L95]

Sure, I'd like to see more.

[Don Draper]

Same, I'd be interested in more videos.

[Thunder Sage]

I'd be interested too.

[Liquid Snake]

I've enjoyed watching this. I'd be interested as well.

[Dat Mattress]

Dude these are awesome, and so is the commentary!

[Lord Raven]

Yeah nice my attention whoring worked.

I'll see if I can get around 2-3 videos every week. No promises though, but if I get into the routine then I should be set. My semester looks like it'll be incredibly busy so no guarantees.

[Lord Raven]

Recording another video as we speak.

[Lord Raven]

I'm really tired... I know I said I'd do a second video but playing like this really hurts and this chapter is annoying :(
