[FE7] Marcus Not Free: The One Where Dorcas Becomes a 1st Round Pick


Recommended Posts

Harken or Karel? Obviously Harken. I just hope he doesn't cost turns. I can't remember for the life of me.

 

Well, this will be my first time playing on an emulator. Almost done with Lyn's stupid forced easy mode tutorial. After a quick runthrough of Eliwood mode I can start this!

 

Although I did get Breath of the Wild for the WiiU in the mail today so I will be a little bit distracted by that

Chapter 11: 6/6

Yep.

Chapter 12: 4/10

Hector doubled the boss somehow.

Chapter 13: 6/16

Couldn't get Guy, oh well.

Chapter 13x: 7/23

Rigging 50 something displayed hit attacks from Dorcas on the boss so I could feed him to Eliwood was an enthralling experience.

Chapter 14: 6/29

Dorcas exactly OHKOed the Pegasus Knights, thank goodness.

Chapter 15: 7/36

It happened. Got the Silver Axe for later.

Chapter 16: 6/42

Dorcas carried Hector over the mountain.

Chapter 17: 10/52

I wish I had a pony right about now.

Chapter 17x: 3/55

Promoted Dorcas and had him walk over to Fargus.

Chapter 18: 3/58

Dorcas did it guys.

Chapter 19: 4/62

Dorcas had to hit Uhai twice with the Silver Axe at 41 displayed hit and not get crit by his Killing Edge and it sucked.

Chapter 19x: 6/68

Dorcas can't double the boss, RIP 5 turn. Fed the boss to Hector instead because KENNETH'S MAP.

Chapter 20: 5/73

Dorcas hammered the thwomp and Erk got the Brave Bow.

Chapter 21: 3/76

Dorcas rescued Erk, got danced, and then dropped Erk ahead and Erk killed everything. Got the Elysian Whip.

Chapter 22: 4/80

Dorcas killed the boss (probably the last time he's getting the bosskill tbh) and Erk got the Brave Axe and reached level 20.

There's a save if you don't want to suffer through lyn normal mode and eliwood normal mode

I am so bad with this computer stuff. I downloaded the file and put it in the folder with the emulator and the Rom but i have no idea how to get it to work from there.

Yeah, put the .sav file in the same folder as the ROM, then just rename the .sav file (the file you downloaded) the same name as the rom.  Just like this:

https://i.gyazo.com/a6725775b5c310906d18dcb29911f00a.png

Some versions of VBA have a different save type (you'll see your previous save in the folder) so you may need to change the file type to match (I think some vba's use .sa1 files instead of .sav files, so just right click the .sav file and rename it fe7.sav => fe7.sa1 or whatever filetype your emulator uses.

I don't think any versions of vba have a seperate saves folder, but if they do, put the save file in there instead.

lets do this thing

CHAPTER 11 - 6/6 TURNS

I DID IT.  Hector got a shin level.

CHAPTER 12 - 4/10 TURNS

Hector definately didnt have the like 15 speed he needs to double the boss but I had Oswin to help out so all was well.  Rebecca + Eliwood barely managed to kill the bottom dudes in time, they're so bad.

CHAPTER 13 - 6/16 TURNS

Oswin dumped Hector on the river, Eliwood went for the village, and Rebecca stole Oswin's kills.

 

oops forgot 13x, I DID IT 7/23 TURNS

CHAPTER 14 - 6/29 TURNS

Eliwood (badly) handled the beach, his stats are awful.  Oswin rescuedropped Hector ahead (lol) to get Erik out of the way.  Rebecca got random kills.  Didn't deploy Merlinus so he wouldn't aggro the soldiers.

CHAPTER 15 - 7/36 TURNS

zzzzz

Eliwood sucks and Oswin hasn't got speed....

CHAPTER 16 - 4/40 TURNS

Florina drop, Hector gooned most of the enemies then the boss.

Also got Wil.

CHAPTER 17 - 9/49 TURNS

Florina ferried Hector ahead where she could (which was not a whole lot).  Hector with the hand axe left the boss with like 2 hp so after 4 attacks so Florina got to secure the boss with the heavy spear, which was nice.  Her levels have been kinda bad though.

CHAPTER 17X - 3/52 TURNS
Florina flew to the boss reletively unharmed.  Wil is shit again, notlikethis

CHAPTER 18 - 3/55 TURNS

Florina got the bosskill.

CHAPTER 19 - 4/59 TURNS

Apparently there's a path to Uhai where only one nomad attacks Florina, and Hector killed it the next turn.  Oswin killed Uhai with the silver lance, still unpromoted.

CHAPTER 19X - 4/63 TURNS

Florina got hit by bolting but still managed to survive turn 2 enemy phase because uh, the mages don't do any damage to her except the elfire guy.  Hector ORKO'd Aion with the SIlver Axe while he still had Bolting equipped.  Would have liked to give the kill to Florina, but she had to clear out a dude in his way first.

CHAPTER 20 - 5/68 TURNS

Nobody could ORKO Darin so took an extra turn.  Florina got 3 really good levels, so she's no longer SUPER SHIT.

CHAPTER 21 - 3/71 TURNS

I didn't have an 8 move unit to aggro Oleg on turn 1, and then I didn't have ANY unit that could double him other than Rebecca with an iron bow.  If Rebecca wasn't like -15 speed i could have early promoted her and brave bow'd him, but uh, she has 12 speed after promotion bonuses.

CHAPTER 22 - 3/74 TURNS

Marcus hype

Florina and Marcus tag teamed the boss.  Got Heath and Rath for their stuff.

CHAPTER 23 - 3/77 TURNS

Florina killed the killer axe guy, Canas killed the guy with 1-2 range.  Got enough exp for genesis since Canas was still unpromoted and Wil got like 150 exp since he was still level 8.

CHAPTER 23X - FREE/70 TURNS

Got Rebecca to level 20, and Eliwood, Marcus and Wil Collected exp.  Wil actually got really good levels so he's less shit now.  Canas almost hit D Staves.  Got WIL X REBECCA C SUPPORT and a few other fast ones like Eliwood/Ninian.

Chapter 23: 4/84

Could have done this in 3, but I was too lazy to rig the Thunder crit on the boss since Erk couldn't chip him before-hand if I wanted to get Filla's Might. No Genesis RIP.

Chapter 24: 1/85

BRAVE BOW BOIS.

Chapter 25: 6/91

I blame Farina.

Chapter 26: 11/102

buildStaffRank.py

Chapter 27: 5/107

Farina and Rath carry Hector and Ninian up to the boss.

Chapter 28: 15/122

spamTorch.py

Chapter 28x: Free

Built weapon ranks. Got the Speedwing.

Chapter 29: 4/126

Rath and Eliwood charge, Erk murders thwomps, Farina gets the Warp Staff, Vaida kills a Nomadic Trooper.

Chapter 30: 3/129

Rath rescues Hector and gets warped. Hector chips the boss on turn 2 and Rath finishes him off on Turn 3.

Chapter 31: 11/140

Stuffed Vaida and Eliwood. Hector got to S Axes. Rath and Farina capped their level.

Chapter 31x: 5/145

spamArena.py

Chapter 32: 3/148

Triple warp Rath carrying Hector to the boss. Rath kills her with a Killer Bow crit + hit followed by 4 Brave Bow hits*. Hammerned Warp and then Warped Farina up to recruit Renault.

*8 Brave Bow hits would have worked, I'm dumb.

Chapter 32x: 1/149

Filla's Might Eliwood gets Warped over and he ORKOs Kishuna with the Brave Lance.

Light, Part 1: 2/151

Thank goodness for back-up strats. Gave the 1st Body Ring to Erk and the 2nd Body Ring to Athos.

Hector opens Darin's room, Farina opens Ursula's room, Vaida opens Brenden's room, Athos warps Dorcas up and he opens Kenneth's room, Renault Rescues Eliwood and he opens Lloyd's room. Rath kills Uhai with a Killer Bow crit + hit, and Erk kills one Sniper from across the wall, gets danced, and then ORKOs the other one with Bolting, which is what I needed the other Body Ring for.

Enemy phase, Eliwood needs to crit Lloyd and Farina needs to crit Ursula while Dorcas need to dodge the Gespenst!Druid.

Turn 2, Vaida finishes off Brenden, Farina kills Jerme with a crit + hit, Rath finishes off Darin with Reinfleche, Hector kills the generic thwomp, Dorcas kills the Bolting!Sage, Eliwood kills Linus with a Killer Lance crit + hit after being healed by Renault, and Erk kills the generic Warrior with Bolting. Erk then gets danced and warps Athos up to Nergal who dies to Aureola on enemy phase.

Light, Part 2: 1/152

Used Filla's Might on Athos and he brought the Dragon down to 40 HP with Luna, and then Hector finished off the Dragon with Armads.

Chapter 11 - 6/6

Wolf Beil is great. 30 uses and 2x effective might are not.

Chapter 12 - 4/10

Hector only needs 9AS to double the boss. Mine only had 8AS but I found a crit. Lower half was easy to clear with Lowen, Bartre, and Eliwood.

Chapter 13 - 5/15

Lowen drops Hector on the river tile 9 spaces from the gate on turn 2. Hector engages Bois on turn 4 PP and kills on EP. Guy recruited for his stuff.

Chapter 13x - 7/22

The 1st of way too many defend maps. Mucho Exp gained. Saved the village for the 5000g. Would have routed all of the enemies, but a nomad trooper ran for a fort on the last EP instead of attacking.

Chapter 14 - 4/26

After a few failed attempts, I realized that by not deploying Merlinus I could have Bartre help Eliwood clear Lowen's path on turn 2 where Lowen dropped Hector ahead. Hector was 1 Str short of 1HKOing Erik which was ok because Erik went after Lowen anyways. Eliwood handled the south and Bartre cleaned up the soldiers from the beginning.

Canas rescued Eliwood, who carried Hector ahead.  He warped them both and Eliwood killed Kaim to let Hector seize on turn 3.  Glad Canas turned out alright.

CHAPTER 26 - 11/135 TURNS

ZZZZZZZZZZ

CHAPTER 32 - 3/138 TURNS

Needed to be a bit creative since Florina did 4 damage to Limstella.  Thankfully Eliwood did significantly more and I was able to warp him instead of Florina since Canas is really magic blessed. WIL REBECCA A SUPPORT WE DID IT BOYS.  Wil also promoted with the earth seal.

CHAPTER 32X - 1/139 TURNS

My team is pretty anemic tbh.  Warped Hawkeye to killer crit kishuna.

CHAPTER FINAL PART 1 - 2/141 TURNS

Needed Filla's might to take out Ursula on turn 1 with Brave Lance Marcus.  Athos was needed to kill Darin, so Hawkeye swordslayer'd the Reed bros.  Rebecca brave bow'd Uhai and had 34 crit thanks to WIL A SUPPORT.  Eliwood killed Brendan and his goon and Canas warped Hector up to help Florina with Kenneth's room, then warped Athos to Nergal.

CHAPTER FINAL PART 2 - 1/142 TURNS

Athos killed the dragon.

 

TEAM ANALYSIS

Hector was pretty slow all game, but he still did his job alright.


After a really bad start, Eliwood turned things around in a big way.  Too good in drafts to have free imo


Florina plz

She even promtoed at level 19 so it's not like she was even an early promotion.  Lost 2 turns due to anemic strength or speed (the speed fixed itself a ton post promotion)


Wil's stats were SO BAD until level 15 or so where he rattled off like 4 6 statters in a row or something.  Honestly forgot that there's only one Orion's Bolt that you can get in drafts, so he sat at level 20 unpromoted for like 10 chapters.  Probably should have picked Jaffar, but honestly the difference was negligible, and then I wouldn't have got the amazing WIL X REBECCA A SUPPORT god there are really that many defence maps in this game.

Hawkeye saved a turn in chapter 25, which is basically why I picked him.  Thanks bro.  He turned out pretty well too I think.

Marcus is still pretty great joining at the same time as Isadora, turns out.  Saved a turn in 25 and would have saved one in 29 if Florina didnt blow chunks.


Rebecca turned out to be pretty useful.  Did the Lloyd killing thing with the brave bow and had great stats to contribute in final.  If she was a little less speed screwed could have even saved one more turn in Oleg's map.  For an early game archer, actually has a lot of utility.


Oswin a cute rescue drop in chapter 14 but was otherwise pretty useless.  Helped train Rebecca I guess since his speed was so bad.  Could have picked someone else I think.


Canas turned out very well, thankfully.  Did lategame warping and had generally good combat.  Reached A Staves easily even without the torch staff or barrier staff, which is pretty funny.

 

EDIT: For some reason the pictures didn't embed, I blame the awful new sf ui.  Too lazy to recapture.  Florina had 16 strength, fuck you Florina.

Chapter 15 - 7/33

Lowen is becoming a monster. Got Silver Axe.

Chapter 16 - 5/38

Lowen and Pris drop Hector on the mountain and then Bartre rescues Lowen on turn 1. Bartre gives Lowen to Hector who moves off the mountains and drops Lowen ahead on turn 2. Turn 3 Hector clears an enemy and Lowen rescues him on the way to the castle. Turn 4 Lowen drops Hector in front of the boss and he dies on the EP. Turn 5 seize. Free Kent and Wil distracted some enemies in the middle to help make sure Lowen's path was as clear as possible. Wil died in the process. Sain actually visited the village on the far left and Lyn got the one in the south.

Chapter 17 - 8/46

Recruited Raven for his sword, and so he would stop stabbing Priscilla. Got the Hero Crest, Knight Crest, and Unlock Staff. Could have 7 turned it but I would have had to skip the Knights Crest. And I could have actually 7 turned it with the Knights Crest, but Bartre would have needed 1 more point of strength to 1RKO the knight in the treasure room with a hand axe. And I would have missed out on the Unlock Staff plus a couple staff swing for Priscilla.

Chapter 17x - 3/49

OMG, Lowen. For his final 3 levels to reach LV20 he gained Spd all 3 times, and it was all on the EP. Capped HP and Spd. LOL. Eliwood kill Damien and I let Fargus talk to me on the EP to let Eliwood kill one more enemy. Got Canas, Devil axe, Short Bow, and Sleep Staff. Priscilla had to skip a staff swing in order to get the Sleep staff, but it gives a whopping 35exp per swing so it will be well worth it.

I finally got back around to doing this.

Chapter 18 - 2/51

Pris and newly promoted Lowen dropped Hector ahead on turn 1 so he could clear the path for Lowen to kill the boss on turn 2.

Chapter 19 - 4/55

People broke snags to let Lowen rush to Uhai. Killed him with the Silver lance.

Chapter 19x - 4/59

Pris and Lowen rescue drops got Hector to the fort on turn 2 which allowed him to run to the gate on turns 3 and 4. Lowen killed Aias on turn 3 before Kishuna showed up and he was able to get a kill on one of the Snipers on turn 4 for some nice Exp. Bartre went and got the Goddess Icon from the village. Hector got a perfect level along the way.

Chapter 20 - 5/64

Could have easily 4-turned it but I had to wait a turn to let Legault come to me. Lyn recruited him and he stole the member card right before Hector seized.

Chapter 21 - 1/65

Ugh, this feels dirty. I was planning on a 2-turn clear, but Hector got a 3% crit. I literally checked my odds for the 1-turn, and told myself I wouldn't fish for a 3% cause it was too low. Then it ended up happening when I did my test run. I was going to get some staff spam Exp with Pris and even planned out a strat to steal the Hero Crest from Oleg with the 2-turn clear because I thought I needed it. Turns out I got the Hero Crest from earlier so I'm just going to take the clear.
