Sounds like Wiggler's getting caught in the Jagen trap. :3

Frederick isn't a Jagen. There is no risk of characters being irreversibly underdeveloped in this game due to repeatable encounters.

 

[dakkumauji]

Yeah I'm bad, I must have played on easy mode or something for the GBA ones. Super pumped that this game is actually making me think about my moves though.

Well the GBA ones were pretty easy since you could easily have a high amount of avoid and the enemy will have crap hit.

 

[Busaiku]

Still works. Let Freddy get into the edge of the enemy's range and let him sponge damage. Just make sure your other units are close by so they can attack the enemy next turn.

Does this work on Lunatic too?

Can't believe I never thought of that.
Played the heck out of Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, and I never knew you could disarm yourself.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Noooooooo, what's a Jagen trap?

No worries, I got my avatar leveled up and my other teammates are working hard too!

Should still work on Lunatic but at a lesser extent. He won't be sponging damage for long compared to the other difficulties.

It's that one unit every FE game has that its really powerful at the beginning of the game, but in the end won't be as good as the other units. If you keep using him, that's less EXP for everyone else to level up, so if you use that character more than the others, you're going to be underleved.

Though that's only really a risk in past Fire Emblem games that have a finite amount of encounters. You can fight as much as you want in this one.

And Frederick stat's are not that of a typical Jagen. He's a very capable unit.

Edit: Plus, with infinite re-classing, you have unprecedented control over your units' growth.

OK, thanks I suspected as much.

Just tried the hubba tester for the first time and Lissa thinks I'm "freaky." ^_______^

1 hr later... still stuck on avatar making screen >_<


can't decide on asset/flaw T____T

 

[WrenchNinja]

So I can do an S rank between Sully and Virion, should I?

Already paired up Chrom and Sumia though I feel like I shouldnt have.

Have Luck as your flaw and any of the others as your asset. There.
But the asset/flaw you choose have other implications other than your own unit's growth so yeah.

 

[SolarKnight]

Just out of curiosity to anyone planning on doing Lunatic. Do you guys plan to play it "fair and square" or the moment you can "break" it you'll do so?

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Just put in two solid hours and cleared chapter 3. Damn it, wish I didn't have to get for the gym and work tomorrow!

 

[Laughing Banana]

Just out of curiosity to anyone planning on doing Lunatic. Do you guys plan to play it "fair and square" or the moment you can "break" it you'll do so?

I don't know about this game, but this is from playing past FE games so let me put it this way:

In Lunatic, there is no notion of "fair and square" from the computer when the players are forced to overcome many ridiculous odds. I mean, in FE12 you can't even pass the Lunatic's 1st tutorial level if you pick mage! Hahaha.

So! Forget fair and square!

 

[SolarKnight]

Well, by "fair and square" I meant "not have Chrom/FemMU solo everything with Frederick as the early meatshield."

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I caved in and bought the digital version.

[Busaiku]

There are a couple guys in Chapter 1 (on Lunatic) that can take down Frederick, based on the demo.

hmmmm thinking speed atm. If my memory is correct, speed has always been a good stat, or at the very least stop dudes from wacking your guy twice.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Got a question:

How does the leveling/class progression work in this FE? Previous FE's have had either the 20/20 or the 20/20/10 route, but progression was always 1 way,

 

[Kincaido]

Just got one percent criticaled against the boss of chapter 3. FML lol.

20/20 with some classes just being 30.

This is not counting reclassing.

Does reclassing add levels? Does it change a level 5 mage into a level 1 fighter (for example)?

 

[Forkball]

One attack away from finishing chapter 3. ONE SHOT BY HAMMER.

The RNG Goddess strikes again.

 

[SolarKnight]

It resets the levels but keeps the stats the unit has gained.

 

[ohlawd]

Yup, can't have enemies 2x'ing your ass
MU's stat spread is hella balanced anyway.

 

[GaimeGuy]

Wait what? So you go from a level 20 mage to a level 1 Sage. You grow that Sage to level 20.

You can then reclass to a level 1 mage with the states of the level 20 sage?

 

[ohlawd]

No. Every class has a base set of stats and reclassing will adjust your stats accordingly.

It's like switching from a Mage to a Fighter. You'll lose some magic when you reclass but that's to be expected since Fighters have low magic. This doesn't mean you'll lose those magic points forever.

 

[perorist]

What implications, specifically?

 

[GaimeGuy]

So tell me, do you go back to level 1 every time you reclass (whether it be going from a base class to a promoted class, promoted to base, base to base, or promoted to another promoted)? Or do you maintain a level from 1-20 across all base classes, and a separate level of 1-20 across all promoted classes?

 

[SolarKnight]

Yes, you go back to lv1 and some stats go up or down because of the class‘ base stats, but you‘ll still have all those points you got from leveling up, allowing you to have stats way higher than you would usually have at lv1.

 

[Empty Space]

The first turn in the first few chapters seems like they only gives you a very narrow set of options or risk a units death. I don't remember the games being this hard in the past. Not that I'm complaining its just brutal.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

I know half gaf is already playing this, but here in PAL-Land we have to wait for another two months.

Any news on when are we getting the demo in Europe?

 

[dragonlife]

Chapter 3 was surprisingly a pain in the ass. Also, the randomness of adjacent friendly units attacking fucked me over and caused me to reset. I can see it happening in the future a lot, too. Fuck.

 

[vall03]

My download finally finished! That was faster than I thought! Now Im stuck at the character creation part, haha

Jeez. I'll do my best not to break that mechanic. That's the good thing about finite EXP. You don't have to set rules for yourself not to cheat the game.

 

[SolarKnight]

Well, if you're planning on doing all of the DLC...let's just say that you'll eventually need it.

Is selling items the only way to get money? Also is there no way to up the uses of an item? I forged Chrom's rapier, and when the uses go away will it be unusable? What's the point of forging items then?

 

[Koodo]

Selling is the only way to get money. I was cash strapped for the first dozen of chapters or so, but afterwards the game just seems to start throwing more bullions and I never had money issues again.

I never found forging to be particularly useful since weapons can't be repaired, though some people use it to give underpowered units an extra fighting chance.

 

[Prax]

I only forge weapons for fun when I have extra cash laying around, but man them class changing seals cost a pretty penny. >_> So I will be saving up on my soup cubes (bullions lol I keep thinking of them as bouillons)

I am only on chapter 10 right now. xD

 

[Boss Doggie]

God it's still not available in my country (the retail, it's cheaper).

I swear if it's not yet out tomorrow...

 

[CSX]

time to stop playing. Stopped after ch 5. Time to sleep for 2 hours then class lol..

 

[Shiggie]

Question: how do I get Donnel on my team? It says I have to level him up but I can't get him to attack for some reason. Help!

 

[Mr. Fix]

That's odd, he should have a weapon on him. If he's a green unit, have Chrom talk to him first.

 

[Artemisia]

Amazon better ship this today.

 

[Ken]

Where do I go to download the DLC for this game? In the eshop page of the game?

Once you've beaten chapter 4, there's a spot that opens up which is where you access and buy the DLC. It's done in-game.
