Challenge run, somewhat?

[HagiTheBakaFox]

So I am still planning all this out. For a while now I have this idea in my head that I want to try and see if I'd be able to beat the game with just Kamui, Kaden, Keaton and there children. The reason beeing that for some reason Kaden and Keaton are some of the most reliable Units I have used in this game so fare and I enjoy using them a lot and Kaden is probably my favorit character in Fates.

So I want your input on this guys...

I've considered the following rules so fare:

1. Difficulty: Hard - Classic - Revelations
I am not a hardcore player and even tho I've played other games in the series then the 3DS games like the GBA era, Radiant Dawn ,started PoR but couldn't finish yet since I do not own the game and can only play when I can visite a friend who has it, I would never dare to call myself an expert or even a remotely good player... still I do feel hard classic in this would be a nice challenge that would not drive me crazy.

2. I will NOT be using any of the Visite, Battle bonuses. (This means mostly the statboosters not like I'll have many people who can use weapons)

3. No DLC, Path Bonis ( the only exception is the Fell Brand to reclass Kamui right in the beginning)

4. No supports between the 6 characters I use. I will grind supports with a waifu I will let you guys pick, once someone reached level 20, to keep myself from gaining more exp so I can get the kids.

5. The only person I'll reclass will be male Kamui. I'll use him as a Grandmaster, mostly for fun reasons and I guess the rally skill will help out somewhat later on.
Thuse the endgame classes will be:
Kamui - Grandmaster, Kaden - Ninetails, Keaton - Wolfsenger, (f)Kana - Hoshido Noble (mostly as a staff User), Selkie - Kitsune, Velouria - Wolfsenger

6. Since I am allready limited by the weapons I will have for everyone since I only get access to two Beastrune and Beaststone+ when I have 4 beasts to use I will allow myself to get a max of TWO additional skills from my logbook, remember I am pretty much a noob and I don't wanna get myself into something I could never finish and skills help out a lot. No hacked skills, also no DLC skills aside from the Grandmaster skills.

7. Kamui is not allowed to get above level 20 untill I reach the Chapter where I get Kaden and Keaton. I will choose Darkmage as my secondary class and reclass into it via Heartseal once i hit 20 as grandmaster, to keep myself from gaining further exp.

8. If other characters aside from the 6 I will use are forced, I have to unequippe them and put them in a corner

9. Pair up and Attack stance are allowed.

10. All enemies on a map must be killed even if it is NOT required to finish the chapter.

11. Eternal Seals are allowed in limited use (2 per character just to reduce the exp void a bit, that is if I ever have enough money for one.)

12. No grinding!


Aside from that I wonder
- should I allow limited smithing for Kamui and Kana?
- what should be my 'punishment' if I use another character?
- are there any more rules I should aply or any rules I should remove?
- do you guys have any more ideas that would make this more interessting?
- if I ever reach 9999 visites or battles should I be allowed to use the seals?

I'll probably do somewhat of a playlog here, I'd have to see how to provide you with good captures of things that happen tho.

Also right away, who should I pick as Kamuis waifu? (No Anna since she's DLC sorry)

(I am not making a pole just now since I am still prepairing everything)

If you're unequipping Felicia and Azura and putting them in a corner in C7, you may have trouble. It's a rough chapter, and not having healing or dancing can easily lead to you being overwhelmed that early in the game. Never mind, Grandmaster will make you sufficiently OP for that.

Also, Endgame has infinite reinforcements. Good luck routing that with only six units.

Honestly, I'd recommend going fully no-grind. Six characters getting all the experience should be ahead of the curve anyway; disallowing grinding won't really make much difference. Especially since Revelation is pretty easy to begin with.

Well Chapter 7 will be interessting.
I'll have to think about how to actually deal with the infinite reinforcments.
And I guess you are right about the grinding part No grinding it is then.

Thanks for the input man =D

Do we choose who the wives are for Corrin, Keaton and Kaden?
