silverserpent Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I finished through to Grandmaster 2 on my own. After that? I used guides. It really was because of me just not putting character A in enemy position because they're a delicate snowflake bulk wise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Dragon Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I figured out why Nowi kept dying in Grandmaster 3. Now to try to get Azama to actually damage things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of the skill ones are surprisingly annoying (Mia and the armor march map come to mind). Mia in particular took me several tries to figure out.

Speaking of solutions, it’s infuriating how the solution for Grandmaster 3, the one with Takumi, Nowi and Cherche, was actually really simple. When I figured it out, it made me feel real dumb. yeah, 3 was pretty aggravating, but 5 was just stupid, it took me a good 3 hours to figure it out, it did make me a bit better at AI manipulation though. 52 minutes ago, Glennstavos said: If I'm lucky, nobody will find out that I can't figure out two of the maps prior to Grandmaster...

DehNutCase Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Did a few more of the grandmasters, and, so far, my impression is the same as the first one: They're all really 'fair' and 'nice' about it. Most of the time, if you're on the right track, you'll feel it, because every turn gets easier and easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Beat the healer one finally, though it occurred to me that I don't think I remember how it happened, since it felt barely any different from my countless other tries edit: got through the Alm one surprisingly quickly, I think it's generally easier to beat these when there are fewer places to move your units Edited July 10, 2018 by Johann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 All I can say: screw the Close counter Takumi one. That took me way longer than I would've liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmender Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The Alm and Zelgius ones were quite easy compared to the hell that is the Azama and the Nowi ones... I haven't cleared those 2 yet but I'll keep trying until my phone dies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Its like, once i hit Grandmaster, i had to use videos. ... All this time, i thought i really got gud. BUT IT WAS LIES! ALL LIES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DehNutCase Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Just did #5. My only comment is: Fuck miracle strats. (God the positioning and combat requirements were strict on that one, derp.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korath88 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I hated 5. The tip is useless and apparently I was doing everything correctly, but just forgot about miracle. Zelgius one is also pretty dumb, requiring you to tank a brave axe with Subaki. Who in their right mind would ever think to do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWill Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I've been doing Grandmaster on my own but massively stuck on the healer one. I don't want to use guides, but can anyone clarify: Is there multiple ways to complete this or just a singular way? I was able to kill all of them except the red sword guy who I got to 1HP, but time ran out. I'm curious if I'm on the right track or I need to revamp my whole strategy.

Johann Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 @DehNutCase @Korath88 Please do not reveal any aspects of winning methods for these challenges without properly using spoiler tags. 16 minutes ago, SlipperySlippy said: Is there multiple ways to complete this or just a singular way? I tried it countless ways before I managed to beat it, and I suspect that there's only one real solution (at least in terms of building up to the final round). There are a few different final placements in the Alm one though, I think, but the difference (including the lead-up) would be minimal.

Rafiel's Aria Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I haven't had much time to try out these maps...just some of the basic ones. So far, I like that they teach some nice skills. It will be a good resource for newer players, and it's also a good chance to try out some characters you might not have obtained. I will say that the turn limit bothers me a little bit. It's a little frustrating seeing multiple solutions, but you're forced to use a specific one. I understand why it's there. That's the whole point of the mode, but I'm the type of person who prefers to bend the rules to finish things. And that's why all my teachers hated me. At the very least, I can appreciate the challenge even if I'm not a fan of the process. I also kind of wish there were more orb rewards or at least a little more variety with some coins and rocks thrown in there. Feathers are nice, but they're pretty easy to come by. But the maps ARE free, so I can understand why they wouldn't put too many amazing resources in there. But I might be willing to throw some stamina at these things for slightly better rewards. Maybe I'm in the minority there. Undoubtedly, I'll get frustrated with the harder maps, but it should be a good time-waster on slow days.

Humanoid Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 While spending a dozen or so attempts on just GM two, I kind of had the dawning realisation that while the mode isn't unfun as such, I could be spending the same time to get AA done for the week. Now don't get me wrong, these drills are way more interesting and engaging than AA, but the difference is that AA *has* to be done, and this doesn't. When it comes down to it, I'd rather just do the bare minimum and spend my free time doing something else altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in their right mind would ever think to do that? at one point I gave up on tanking the axe and decide to tank the archer instead, and yes, I agree that one was crap.

bottlegnomes Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 @DehNutCase Kind of nice to know that there isn't exactly one way to solve things. I have kind of mixed feelings, aside from making me realize I'm terrible at FE. One one hand, I appreciate the challenge, but on the other hand, I'm not hugely fond of how there's basically one solution to everything. As some other people have said, one big thing I love about FE is getting to approach things my way. I'd much rather have things like the Takumi GHB where I can tinker with my units, skill setups, and placements until I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmender Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Ugh...I feel ashamed of myself. I managed to beat the Nowi and the final maps by myself and got all cocky thinking I could beat the healer one as well...3 hours later and I had to resort to a guide because that map is BS, the positioning is so fricken weird that I would never get it even if I tried for a month. Fine...I'll take the L, the game wins 1 round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlight Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The Chrom one really had me scratching my head. I kept trying to move each unit in different places constantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Finished them all now. Judging by the hint in one of them, it seems that it's possible to beat some of them in alternate ways. @thecrimsonflash@eclipseI'm gonna make a separate thread for post-completion discussion, because I think this thread should be a place where people shouldn't have solutions spoiled and merely focus on their feelings about the event itself and I guess frustration with any of the maps.

Ice Dragon Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I have Grandmaster 5 down to everything except the sword armor is dead, but Chrom dies to Vengeance if he initiates. I'll tackle the walls of Pain some other time. Grandmaster 8 fell sometime early last night, but I was too lazy to mention it. I'll probably put off the last 4 maps for a few days since I have other matters to attend to (like cleaning out my 1100/1100 barracks so I can start summoning again).
