Support NeoGAF

[dakkumauji]

I paired Virion with Panne.

Yarne's supports with Virion fit VERY well.

Yeah, it was pretty amazing how well they fit Virion.

Didn't help how fragile Virion was though.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Does anyone else like Virion.

Archers tend to be disliked by FE fans as their attacking opportunities are so limited and Virion doesn't have uber stats like Shinion.

I like his supports but he hasn't been doing well for me. Even paired up with fast units he can't double and he can't do good chip damage. In fact its got the point where he can't one shot Wryverns.

With the fact I've got Henry now makes me feel I should just give up on Virion (but its a shame as I get given so many bows...I've bought one Iron Bow and never needed to use it). If only they gave archers equip long range bows as a skill (so you can rclass to other bow users without losing 3 range weapons...which are sadly too weak).

Speaking of Wryverns, I reclassed Panne so I lack part space for Cherche.

Just got

Spoiler

Lucina

and yeah I guess I bought this upon myself

Spoiler

Olivia and Chrom have both not been that used (Chrom is level 16 but tends to get 1-3 stat levels and Olivia gained like a level) which means Lucina has slightly blah stats

I'm tempted to reclass as faster leveling should help those stat problems.

 

[Sleepy]

I like Virion. Funny dude, coldblooded killer. Just keep him out of harm's way/keep him supported.

Am I correct in thinking that the only way to max out stats/hp is to reclass a few times?

 

[TWILT]

Virion's a cool dude.

Paired up with Tharja in my playthrough(s).

 

[m0t0k1]

Yeah i love Virion and use him in all my serious missions. He can double up about anybody solo. and i make effective use of the 3 range attacks. together with a S-rank team member he can dodge almost anything and the guy can take a hit. Love it how enemy units always leave him alone when they see him. and prefer to attack my Lucina means they are even more fucked.

 

[ohlawd]

Gerome's growths are shit, what the heck is happening.

Why are you not getting any Str growths when you're a freaking Wyvern Lord?

 

[Chrom]

That or buying dozens among dozens of stat boosters, yeah.

 

[Sleepy]

That or buying dozens among dozens of stat boosters, yeah.

Time to start reclassing then.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Virion's a cool dude.

Why would you submit the lovely Tharja to such torture?

 

[McNum]

I'm thinking Tharja and Kellam for my game. Want to make a tanky Niore. Plus, it kind of makes sense that she would help Kellam find his true calling in life: Assassin.

Plus, it amuses me how he can sneak up on her in full plate armor. And he made her smile. Creepy.

 

[Sendou]

Why would you submit the lovely Tharja to such torture?

That support conversation was so good. I don't blame him.

Female avatar x Virion and no regrets.

 

[dakkumauji]

I gotta say the class options for Maribelle's kid when paired with Chrom leaves a lot to be desired.

Excuse me while I go sit down and contemplate life.

 

[McNum]

Excuse me while I go sit down and contemplate life.

Eh, it just kind of came naturally. They paired up a lot because she had the firepower and he had the tankiness. It's a hilariously awkward pairing, really.

 

[Sadist]

Really, FE players hate archers? Huh.

I completed chapter 9 (Tharja will be my avatars waifu bla bla) and honestly, all the units I've encountered aren't weak. Sure there are a few which are overpowered like Chrom, Lan'qu and because of his luck Donnel, but the units are pretty balanced. Far better compared to the units in Radiant Dawn. The first batch with the Dawn Brigade was downright horrible.

Virion is a competent archer btw. With someone helping him out he can destroy enemies.

uhh... yeah.

I shouldn't have to bother doing that.

I paired up my Kellam with Miriel, their convos are amazing

 

[Blasty]

I couldn't bring myself to create a different looking avatar for my Lunatic playthrough. Will I be able to get through Lunatic without sacrificing anyone?

Honestly the only archers I ever liked were Will and Rolf.

 

[dakkumauji]

Maybe if IS gave us more choices in archers, I wouldn't be so disappointed with them in this game.

 

[Wilsongt]

It's just a subtle way of IntSys acknowledging that archers suck anyway :/

Spoiler

though Rebecca from FE7 will always have a special place in my heart <3

Rolf says hello.

 

[McNum]

I paired up my Kellam with Miriel, their convos are amazing

My Miriel is horribly underplayed. She's just level 3. I could do with a bit more magic firepower, really, maybe I should work a bit on that. Tharja can pull mage duty nicely, mind you, but having options is nice.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Hold on, just so I can be clear: When you reclass early on, does that mean you can't get a promoted class until you reach level (20) all over again?

 

[Wilsongt]

Gerome's growths are shit, what the heck is happening.

Why are you not getting any Str growths when you're a freaking Wyvern Lord?

Who is his father?

Even with his father as Lon'qu Gerome was a flat out beast.

 

[McNum]

Hold on, just so I can be clear: When you reclass early on, does that mean you can't get a promoted class until you reach level (20) all over again?

10, actually. You can use a Master Seal at level 10. But you'll have to level from 1 to 10 the old fashioned way.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

I couldn't bring myself to create a different looking avatar for my Lunatic playthrough. Will I be able to get through Lunatic without sacrificing anyone?

You can, but the early chapters are an absolute nightmare if you want to keep everyone alive.

Excuse me while I go sit down and contemplate life.

Its just like the times when people pair her with Donnel or Ricken

 

[dakkumauji]

Hold on, just so I can be clear: When you reclass early on, does that mean you can't get a promoted class until you reach level (20) all over again?

When you are in a base class you can only reclass into other base classes. So the only way to go from a base to promoted class is by using a master seal at level 10 or higher.

 

[ohlawd]

Who is his father?

Even with his father as Lon'qu Gerome was a flat out beast.

His dad is Vaike.

Now we all know Vaike is a piece of shit but this shouldn't be happening. I always get bad growths with Gerome. I've never had a level up with more than 4 stat gains iirc. He's the last kid I have to max out.

 

[Sadist]

Wait, no love for Shinon? In the Radiant Dawn Endgame he kills everyone with one shot.

 

[TWILT]

Shinon's the best (though only in Radiant Dawn).

Even if he is kind of a dick.

He didn't max strength until I reclassed him as a Wyvern Lord a second time. However, he did have Astra and he proc'd it constantly...

It's your own fault for not giving Nightwing his rightful father of nobel blood Virion.

 

[Kumiorava]

So I finally had time to start playing this today. Started my playthrough on hard/classic, and played until the end of chapter 3. Like someone commented a few pages ago, it feels a bit weird that there's no narration of any kind between chapters in the world map.

Also, is there no supply convoy in this game or is it made available later? Had to discard an iron sword because I didn't notice Chrom's inventory was full when attacking an enemy with item drops.

 

[ohlawd]

gawds, he has a 76% for Str growth. Oh boy, look at them Mag and Res growths.
And I forgot to pass DS+ to him from Cherche. Gave him Renewal instead. GAWDSSS...

Made available next chapter.

 

[Oxx]

I just finished chapter 9 and it feels like the game is really starting to hit its stride.

I like all the new recruits I have run into, the missions feel a bit more open, and I just promoted my first character.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Wait, no love for Shinon? In the Radiant Dawn Endgame he kills everyone with one shot.

Shinon is like one of my all time favourite FE characters, I'd say he was great as a unit in Radiant Dawn but I guess that's balanced out by him sucking quite a lot in Path of Radiance, still I have to use him, what a magnificent jerk.

 

[MicH]

Chapter 16 down. Man this game is great! I didn't even need a healer in the last chapter - heck in the last few chapters!

Everyone has been promoted (bar Muriel, Stahl, Vaike and Maribelle who I never use) and they're just beastly. As soon as Lissa hits Sage lvl 15 I'll reclass her to Dark Flier for Galeforce. Also I forgot to pass it down to Owain ((( sadness

 

[chaosblade]

And here I thought Awakening loved archers since I have as many brave bows as I do all the other brave weapons combined.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Does anyone else like Virion Did you guys even support him with other characters. Some good conversations there. There's nothing that dude can't do.

Love the guy, from pretty early on he's been a really powerhouse for me - either double hits or one shots everything but the beefiest enemies and evades enough to survive a couple of surprise attacks.

It's been the same with Miriel as well (another character people seem to hate). She can practically carry my entire team with higher damage output than Chrom, good defences and the ability to heal/rescue units from halfway across the map.

 

[dakkumauji]

Awakening just loves giving you nothing but bows and not enough bow users to use them.

 

[-Horizon-]

Yep, I thought they would be best together as well.

You dun goofed.

Spoiler

It isn't essential or anything, especially for the main story

My Virion has twice now had significant speed problems. Without the speed, he can't double, and the thing he fails to kill then whacks his health off because he can't dodge worth crap.

 

[ffdgh]

I get bows more than anything else from infinite regalia. A shame they're completely useless since they have nice bonuses.

I know man, but I want it I'll just have to pair him up with someone who has it

I'm letting my Bride Morgan use Yewfelle since she has 54 speed and I want her to double TSON Goddess Anna.

I have 9 of those just sitting in my convoy along with 8 Nidhoggs, and 4 Double bows.

I ccould really use some arms scrolls and rift doors for my brides...

This game keeps throwing units at me!

Why can't I hold all these units?

 

[Anteo]

I know man, but I want it I'll just have to pair him up with someone who has it

So instead of: Kill one, Get turn, Switch to Owain, kill another, get turn, kill a third,
you will: Kill one, Get turn, Switch to Owain, kill another
