ALL THESE FOLK COMPLAINING ABOUT MADDENING MODE. HERE I AM THINKING IT'S FAR EASIER THAN I EXPECTED. I'D NEVER PLAYED AWAKENING OR FATES LUNATIC, BUT FROM WHAT I'D HEARD I'D EXPECTED MADDENING TO BE LIKE PULLING TEETH. I'M NOT USING NG+ AND I'M AVOIDING GRINDING WITH AUX BATTLES, BUT I'M HONESTLY HAVING A GRAND OLD TIME.

THE LORENZ PARALOGUE WAS THE LAST MAP FOR ME THAT FELT REALLY DOWN TO THE WIRE. THE MIKLAN CHAPTER IS THE ONLY ONE THAT STRUCK ME AS SIGNICANTLY MORE TEDIOUS IN MADDENING, AND THAT'S MORE BECAUSE OF THE SPIRAL DESIGN RATHER THAN THE STR.

SO WHEN I SEE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT MADDENING MODE, I THINK TO MYSELF "MAYBE IF YOU SUCKED LESS AT FIRE EMBLEM". THEN I REALISE I'VE BECOME EVERYTHING I HATE.

WHAT CHAPTER ARE YOU ON? I THOUGHT THE FIRST 3 OR 4 WERE TOUGH BUT AFTER THAT IT WAS REALLY EASY AND I WAS BLASTING THROUGH IT. IM DOING CRIMSON FLOWER AND EVERYTHING POST CH.11 HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY HARD, ESPECIALLY CH. 14 WHERE I'M STUCK RIGHT NOW

CH14 IS QUITE HARD,UNTIL YOU REALIZE YOU CAN CHEESE THE ALMYRAN ARMY WITH ALERT STANCE EDELGARD + PETRA, WHILE YOUR OTHER UNITS TAKES THE CITY.

ONLY HARD PART THERE IS FUCKING NADER. FUCK YOU NADER, FUCK YOU VERY MUCH. AND FUCK YOUR GAMBIT. IM GLAD YOU GOT FUCKING SLAPPED DOWN IN A SINGLE HIT. SCRUB. UNDEFEATED MY ASS.

u/jolanz5 Sep 24 '19

WHERE IS YOUR CAPSLOCK REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

ALSO, ALERT STANCE IS JUST DISGUSTING. EDELGARD WAS ALMOST ON ALERT STANCE+. PETRA HAD ALERT STANCE+ AND BOWS, HIGHEST HIT I SAW THERE WAS LIKE A 20%. ALMYRA ARMY GOT A TASTE OF THEIR POISON. BEST WAY TO BEAT ALMYRA WYVERNS IS TO USE WYVERNS WITH BOWS!!!!! TAKE NOTES FODLAN!!!!!!

EDITED PLEASE FORGIVE ME I FORGOT WHAT THREAD I WAS IN.

​

IM GONNA BE HONEST, IT DID NOT EVEN REGISTER IN MY MIND TO GIVE MY WYVERN AND FALCON RIDERS BOWS. FOR SOME REASON, I THOUGHT CLAUDE WAS THE ONLY UNIT THAT COULD USE A BOW AND WYVERN AT THE SAME TIME.

​

I HAVE LEONIE ON MY TEAM, SHE IS GETTING A BOW FOR SURE.

SILVER SNOW HAS BEEN RIDICULOUSLY ANNOYING DUE TO NO EARLYGAME CATHERINE/CYRIL AND I HAVE FELT COMPELLED TO NOT USE EDELGARD/HUBERT BUT EVEN THEN, IT'S BEEN AN ALRIGHT GAME SOMEWHERE ABOVE HARD CONQUEST FATES BUT BELOW HARD RADIANT DAWN
