KoolioKenneth Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) When I was playing through Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation (on Lunatic mode) I had what quite possibly was my most insane RNG experience in my entire life. For as long as I can remember, I've never really experienced something like this in Fire Emblem, or just video games in general, so you can guess how amazed I was when this happened to me. My Avatar (Kenneth) was on defense during the Enemy Phase in Chapter 7: Unspeakable World of Revelation. He had his Dragonstone equipped, so I wasn't worried. He held off two enemies like it was nothing, and it didn't seem like the third (a cavalier) was going to be much of a threat. However, I was fairly certain that I was going to take some damage from the encounter and I would have to finish off the cavalier on the next turn due to Kenneth's low skill and crit rate. Boy, was I wrong. My enemy missed a 79% shot, then I activated a 6% Dragon Fang and a 1% critical AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. I was stunned, so I did some calculations and found some staggering numbers. Here is the math: 79% chance for successful enemy attack, making the miss chance .21 or 21%. Then we take into account the activation of Dragon Fang, which is 75% of the skill statistic for the attacker. My avatar had an original skill statistic of 11, which was decreased by 3 due to the Dragonstone for a total of 8 skill. 8 X .75 = 6, giving us a .06 or 6% chance. Finally, we have the critical hit rate, which was only a measly .01 or 1%. To find the grand total percentage for all of these happening in the exact same combat we use the following equation: .21 X .06 X .01 = y, which gives us a final percentage of y = .000126% or a 1 in 7936.5 chance. This is basically the Shiny Pokémon of Fire Emblem. What do you guys think? Let me know! (Also, please let me know if this kind of post violates any of the Serenes Forest Codes of Conduct. If it does, I will stop these kinds of posts immediately. Thank you.) Edited May 10, 2016 by KoolioKenneth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salterino Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 So lucky. I'm never lucky. I have 99% and miss, their team have 46% and get critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Your math's a wee bit off. FE's hit RNG has been changed up a bit. More details, and props to the author for all that work. Here's a thread of RNG stories, for reading purposes ONLY. Alas, the weirdest RNG-related thing that's happened to me as of late is one of my bond units gaining everything except for HP on-level.

Parrhesia Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 So lucky. I'm never lucky. I have 99% and miss, their team have 46% and get critical. yeah, it turns out that 99% and 46% aren't 100% and 0% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FEF Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 You think that's some shit? My Ike in PoR the other night got landed 6 10-14% criticals in a row last night. Still, it's fun to get lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sieghart Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 In my case i got lucky on chapter 3 (Lunatic-classic).Gunther do a critical hit on the boss with 1% and kill it before reinforcement, and let me finish this chapter quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Grima Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I recently had a crazy RNG story, I was doing a little grinding in Boo Camp and Laslow was attacked, the faceless had a 99% chance to hit and Laslow still dodged it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokechu Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I just had the CRAZIEST RNG luck in PvP. First. My Saizo got two Lethalities. Not one. TWO. Then, my Sakura hit a Selkie with a 55% hit rate and my Avatar chimed in with her 58% rate. THEN. ZOOWEE MAMA. You won't believe this. Azura was in range of their Corrin. They sent them to fight my Azura, and I knew it was over for her. They would deal 42 damage with a 100% hit rate. But then... she activated Pavise, and lived at 2 HP. THEN. THEN. She procc'd Luna and I knew it wouldn't hit because she had a 38% hit rate. It hit. And she also critted it, with an 11% chance to do so. My mind was literally blown.

MrMcThrasher Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Pretty sure the craziest RNG experience belongs to the person that had a Gunter not come out like crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
