She's really squishy for a tank though ;_;
Didn't help that Takumi was able to get in past his knight bros and deal 24 damage in a single round. I figured he was stuck behind them on the bridge.

Well in any case, I reset after discovering that ruffians show up to start looting houses. Thanks game. It's not like I wasn't already having a bunch of trouble just getting out of my starting area.

I might have gotten godlike level ups for her, but I wish that the game tracked kills, because Effie probably has the most significant kill count of my whole team. She was the first to be promoted, and she's a tanky beast that hits like a truck that rules all chokepoints everywhere.

You get Benny in this chapter, another knight, but he's not Effie caliber, despite having slightly better defense growth.

In the chapter you're in, it's only the beginning portion that is hard. If you can get past the tough magic user to the left, you can proceed down and avoid Takumi altogether, and stop the thief before he hits up the first house.

Wait, I should be going to the LEFT?!

I concentrated on going right because the boss was in the bottom-left corner. I just left Felicia behind to deal with the mages - her RES was high enough that only the boss and the dude with the Tiger scroll could hurt her, while she doubled each of them (save the boss) for roughly 10 damage a shot. I had to use Charlotte to clean up the boss but that part of the map went extraordinarily well. Next time I'll bring Ellie along and pair her up with Felicia for even more ridiculous RES.

@ Tawarochir: But I don't want to replace Effie, I want to keep her and everyone else alive ;_;

[Tawa]

You don't need to kill her to replace her. :v

Or not replace her at all, I run both Effie and Ben in my main roster. Having people that can handle being dogpiled on and block narrow chokepoints is an extremely valuable thing to have on your team.

But for advice on the chapter, I still had charges on my enfeeble staff that I used to bring Takumi down, otherwise he's very hard to hit.

@Sirus:
Well, you do get a Replacement Effie that chapter. He has more HP in my experience, I replaced Effie with him because she wasn't getting nearly enough of it.

(Argh, you ninja JoshuaFH)

Currently stuck on chapter 20. I love and hate this chapter; the wind gimmick is fun, but screw how it seems to be randomly chosen how the wind appears. And I almost won my second run, too ;_; At least I promoted Elise into Strategist and she is now a physical god rivaling her brother's magical prowess.
On an entirely gameplay-unrelated note, what do you guys think of the soundtrack for this one? Personally, I think it's beautiful, maybe one of the best soundtracks in the series. I like how the music for each side has more obvious influences than in older games; I love the Nohrian music's bagpipes, in particular. It makes it sound a lot more medieval than the generally traditional orchestral music in older games.

I also absolutely love the rendition of "Lost In Thoughts All Alone" played in the "(groans of increasing discomfort)" cutscene. It's so catchy!

In chapter 20, the wind is not random, it follows a set pattern that it cycles through. There's about 5 or 6 sets of wind that it goes through, then starts from the beginning and does it over again. It can be planned for, but obviously it takes some memorization

It's not random? Hm. Could've sworn it was different my second time around. Must be my imagination. :v

The one thing that needs to be accounted for is that Dragon Vein induced wind moves EVERYONE, and normally occurring wind moves your guys and not the enemy. That detail tripped me up super hard when trying to adjust for movement in the beginning.

I sincerely thank Nintendo for only putting six units in Eirika's bonus team, because any more, with the Paladin, would make it significantly harder.
And congrats to Gregor for dodging a 17 damage hit, then getting Stahl's help and bringing down said Paladin in one turn.

[JoshuaFH]

Completed chapter 22! That got really intense near the end, I'm sure you guys will love it, it's like Chapters 10 and 12 combined. In my winning playthrough though, I got one of the best moments of RNG I've seen in a while:

Spoiler: Not very spoilery, but I spoiled it anyway (click to show/hide)

After a long and drawn out slog through the map, I'm at the boss, and completely backed into a corner, lots of units are spawning in all around me, if the fight goes on any longer then I might suffer a casualty! I need to have Mozu run up and kill the boss, but she has to double attack with Effie who both only have a 40% chance to hit for both of them. After much hesitation, I do it, and both attacks land, killing the boss! And Mozu levels up!~ and... it's my very first ZERO stat level up. That's like scoring the game winning touchdown, and then your coach runs up and kicks you right in the balls. I had to put the 3DS down just to laugh that's so comically tragic.

[Sirus]

Has anyone figured out the parameters for building/upgrading statues yet? It seems to be more-or-less random as to when you get them and so far they're all at bronze level.

[SOLDIER First]

I put Sumia in position to take out an Archer..
...AND FORGOT THE OTHER ARCHER.

What I love about that team is that if you look at it, you realize you're fighting her early-game Sacred Stones team. The Paladin is Seth, the Cavalier is Franz, the Knight is Gilliam, the Pegasus Knight is Vanessa, and the Priest is Moulder.

There's several characters like this; for example, Ike's team has two snipers, a paladin, a general, a sage, an assassin, a war monk, a warrior, and a falcoknight. L'Arachel is even more obvious; her gigantic team consists of a berserker and a trickster.

[SOLDIER First]

And one of the Marths' teams consists of every character before him in the list.

[Cthulhu]

Ohhh boy, my SD card came early.  Gonna get Birthright first, I think.  I haven't played the old style Fire Emblems so I'll stick with the easier kind first.

[Sirus]

Whew, chapter 12 cleared thanks to the RNG being generous a few times. Very nearly got Camilla killed when a miniboss with a bow rushed her (she managed to dodge), and then both she and Beruka managed to land attacks at roughly 55% to take her down in a single one of my turns. Rest of the map went much more smoothly once I gave Felicia a Flame Shuriken.

[Nighthawk]

Anyone else with previous FE experience find themselves habitually ignoring characters that arrive as promoted classes, even though some of them are actually pretty decent? Because I do.

I...I'm sorry, Ryoma. It just can't work between us. I know you have a cool electrified katana, but you're already a Swordmaster. It just wasn't meant to be.

[SOLDIER First]

Libra is actually alright, in Awakening. But Frederick has no excuse for devouring EXP and never leveling.
