To make a custom character that I can use ingame! You don't need to really know much about the game, how the mechanics work, or even have a 3ds! just follow along and you could have the chance to have a starring role in one of Nintendo's strangest titles


Anyway, Ellipse is in danger

But not for long, since we can backpack our way out of the western squad.
Reina is so nice to have. Sigh, no flier corrins yet

Naizou kill this man

Thank you naizou

The twins finally get in on the action. I need to forge them a higher hit rate weapon, huh

At some point I decided to give Yousef some neat new accessories! She looks very cool and tough

'Yousef! Terrorize!"
"PDG! Maximize!"

a bonk from an arrow works wonders when I have my defense debuffed

Big ass attacks from the twins, but no doubling yet. we'll get there!

 

[Yousef]

I look fabulous!

 

[DunkeyKong]

@Yousef looking good like

 

[lordofthekevins]

Yousef takes care of one of the ninjas...

as we make some space with the dragon vein

Setting up with ellipse here will give us a nice inspiration boost, the oncoming master ninja and his crew are kind of scary

Let's slap a dragonstone against the problem!

Back over on the left, We have yousef heal up. this master ninja means buisness and Id rather not mess around with unfull health

With the orochi pair up, diviner gives me enough speed to not get doubled by this guy

This dude rolled up with his iron katana, seemingly because he hates making good decisions

A cheeky dual strike will see him off

The other one gets Pizza'd

Reina can just smoke these guys. how sad that we can't use her longterm

Ellipse is dedicated to getting her strength up

Fujin Yumi can just straight up smoke the fodder enemies

... and Korny here will go in for the kill

Cleaning up, these ninjas can't hurt Kamui when he has boosted magic and speed

The left team is finishing up too, but they'll be too far away to do much with the rest of the chapter

Really, taking out these grunts when their leader is defeated is just a formality

Naizo decided that taking counter hits is for chumps and to just crit this guy. Thanks!

 

[Strategist's iconStrategist]

Go Korny! Get that boss kill!

 

[Antilocal123]

What is this?

 

[lordofthekevins]

Where was I? I got a little sidetracked while posting because my internet was in and out for the past few days. New york windstorms, am I right?

Naizou picks up a nice level off beating that guy with the crit. Skill/Strength/Speed is nice to see, although I'm still at this point running a bit low on high-str units

Korny gets a nice crit here, seemingly to impress big bro saizo

I believe this is her first level and its a nice one. good for her

Mopping up, we just have a master ninja whose stats are only really crazy on Lunatic, which we have I should mention elected to not play. Fine by me I guess, I'll have to play LunaRev some other time

Somehow, this guy's best stat is his res. if only there was a high-power physical green unit who could torch this dude...

Oh wait, we have precisely one of those

Samus taking a shot at this guy while he has the sword out will soften him up for anyone to get the kill

Naizou has the perfect kill numbers so i give it to him.

Meanwhile, Bee gets us something nice....

I'm gonna be wanting quite a few of these bad boys, and next chapter we're gonna use some!

Kotaro is kind of a joke on Hard. Despite wanting to be something of a secondary antagonist, it's only in CQ where he ate his protein

Why did I have naizou get all these promoted kills? Idk, guess I was just breaking in the new troops

and a decent level off it too

Yeah, this one wasn't super hard and having a bigger team now was what prompted me to suggest raising the difficulty. Either way, we actually have a quite a bit harder chapter up next anyway so I'm fine with keeping things the way they are

"Kags do you know anything about the yato, or dragon blood, or invisible enemies, or anything like that?"

No not really

" Dammit! I should have asked for more divinations before that Avatar The Last Airbender lookin guy had that heart attack."

"well if nobody in hoshido can help us let's go see if the rainbow sage can help us. he lives in nohr I think"

"As good an idea as any. let's move ladies. and also Naizou"

"thanks for the recognition man."

CHAPTER 12: THE GAIDEN SNAFU AND THE POWER OF NEPOTISM

We have a new pegasus knight! my sibling wanted her girl in the game so I had to oblige and give her a nice weapon. We're moving into a somewhat difficult level and we're gonna need to have some bigger firepower...

First up: a truly powerful bow user in Ellipse. Giving her a bronze bow with her current strength is pretty good, giving her the fujin yumi will make her unstoppable

Second: I elected to, for now, make Samus a Mechanist. Giving her some more strength/defense, and an extra point of move will get her stats moving in the right direction.

As for this level, we're scattered across some boats, and the 2 big boats on either end of the map are going to spew out more units for us to fight. Notably, right in the middle of the map is a berserker right away, and up top there are a squad of some sorcerers.
I, uh, made some mistakes during the planning phase of this mission

I decided to plonk down our stronger units up near where all the threatening enemies are, using starting pair up to condense our team's deployment slots...

And put down our weaker units in the bottom left, notably with amaterasu and potions as their only source of healing

what could go wrong?

Let's open up with Kamui dragonstone tanking. For one, thats... kind of still a lot of damage taken physically. and Kamui has truly terrible res, he still only has 4 without his dragonstone

I try to form up against these enemies, who are moving in fast

PDG gets a nice level off throwing her sword at people. there are far less enemies on the right for now... which is going to become a theme

Uh oh

This berserker is moving in on me and I'm too paired up. I don't have enough turn economy to take out all these enemies while staying out of range here

this is uh, not amazing

I stayed on this turn for like 10 minutes trying to figure out a way to make it so someone wouldn't die here but the answer was kind of impressively obvious

First, I have luna try and take a nice big chunk out of this fighter... but man, I really wish I could one round him. I need to take out all these enemies who have boarded the boat, and it's looking like i'm going to need multiple actions to wall off this bottom side. having precisely one person in range of the berserker, and having that person be at full health is the only way to live. If only,

I,,,, Should have known honestly.

Magic and speed level? Man I'm walking on air

"It's called simplifying the gamestate, sweetie!"

Alright well, that makes things a little easier to process. I'm going to plant naizou right here with the kamui pair up and have him take charge on tanking this berserker.
Please take note of the red range indicators here, and with the knowledge that I messed up here, can YOU find the very stupid mistake I'm making here? It's suprisingly simple

Naizou blasts that dark mage for a Kamui level up

Meanwhile, Anya runs down into the little slot in the above picture where she can slap this outlaw without being in range of the stationary one. even with bowbreaker, that's still not a risk I want to take

get owned

Oh hey it's all my high level characters. trapped on a boat away from where all the combat is happening.


fun.

check out this dude's buttcrack

The berserker is here! he does a good chunk of damage

Anyway pop quiz over. I thought I had highlighted the berserker in red earlier, when I actually highlighted his archer buddy who was obscured by the 3d map element. I was under the impression that Naizou here was in the range of both of them and hence would have had a chance to die without the pair up and being at full health. nope! He was never in the range of thr archer. this turn took me like 25 minutes to play out and it would have been trivial if I thought to put one of my promoted untis over here. sigh.

Luna can just obliterate this guy

and Korin can just eat his friend. good for her

 

[jackel]

I'm new and lost how do I get to the roms lol

 

[lordofthekevins]

kamui gets the kill on the everpresent pain in my ass

kamui why are you like this. even your good levels suck ass

ok now to start using the dragon veins- oh my god theres more of them

please get out of the way i need to finish this map

Luckily for us we have all our dual guards up right now so we can just tank these dudes

die

Ok finally we have access to the bridge now. finally, we can meet up with the A squad who have just been mulching fodder because NONE OF THE PROMOTED ENEMIES I WAS WORRIED ABOUT MOOOOOOVE

lets go already

also, i finally get a crit from an actual crit boosted weapon. about time

these guys just cant touch pdg, who has just sort of been sword throwing for the past 30 minutes

dentist finally ranks up her tomes,

This is why i didn't screenshot a lot of the upper right. its just my turbo charged units slamming these guys and getting 2 xp from it

lorewise could mikoto use the fujin yumi? Who knows

 

[lordofthekevins]

This leftover mage does nothing to a guard naginata pegasus

I want to move Beruka out, so let's throw anya over here to lure her in for the kill

Meanwhile, Kamui can't one round axe fighters with a sword. dude you need to get better at this

The numbers look kind of bad here but we can one shot her with Luna, her stats aren't really that high

speechless, really.

You're nothing to a stone cold killer like me

boom

Anyway yeah still this entire time my A-Squad has just been rallying each other and exploding these singleton reinforcement enemies who do no damage and healing off everything with no issue. engaging!

Korin explode this man

Korin explodes that man and gets a kitsune level up

Let's let korny get a kill for once, she's been on stat backpack duty for a while now

Luna actually gets an excellent level that I take no issue with. you go girl

Everyone has been fighting over here but for some reason I can't remember I only seemed to take pictures of pdg

I took a little while to plan out this next section of moves but it really wasn't that complex in the grand scheme of things

First, korny knives' this mage

Post automatically merged: Saturday at 8:22 PM

Dragonstone kamui is kind of not amazing because 10 speed sucks so bad but for our purposes its fine, because the bottomost berserker has a hand axe

Anya and naizou engage selena on the far right of the boat

The exact movements I made here took a few minutes to scope out because I didn't want to allow anyone to take unwanted damage from attacks after killing the berserker but it was actually quite simple

Luna gets a very nice dodge off the WTA

Naizou goes for the kill, blocking off selena attacking Luna (which wasn't nescessary because of the miss), and gets the Master Seal from the berserker

Selena attacks into naizou and dies,

and also uh offscreen Korin and Korny handle those two fighters who spawned on the left, forgot to take a picture of that

Naizou can also use the guard naginata and the killer lance now which rules

Finally, finally finally, we open up the bridge

These guys rolled up on us while moving back up to the bridge

Naizou gets another Kamui level, but honestly his statspread is probably still better

PDG stop hogging the spotlight im pretty sure Bee and Yousef are doing just as much over here as you

don't step into this pink zone on the bridge or like 5 promoted enemies are going to swarm onto you

Average Myrm Level

Ok please we need to get moving this level is kind of taking a while

Anya could have flown over and grabbed like samus or something at any time to give us a strong unit to handle all the scary enemies on the left but. I forgot about that. Not used to having a flier.

Samus is bored by watching her subbordinates chip away at these innefectual goons and decides to get a big crit for old time's sake

 

[RedNin3]

You got something really entertaining going on here.
So why not, I submitted my favorite thing to have in any game that let's me do it, a basic Spear User with extra Crit.

 

[lordofthekevins]

Ok finally lets get moving

These guys are like kind of threatening but we don't actually need to plan because we have the promo girls on deck

Like look at this she can explode this guy without even trying

A rally turns this from Pretty Easy to Functionally Trivial

also, unrelated, why is her res so low????

Ellipse kills the sorcerer, the first kill all map that has made her feel something

Korny I'm sorry for you not really getting anything all that interesting to say yet I'll let you murk this zerker

.....eh

Oh hey, it's all those promoted enemies I spent the entire prep phase worried about.

they don't move.

This is a Kill Boss map.

yeahhhh we aren't even gonna engage with these guys lmao

She takes so much damage from this but the fact that we are going to win the map this round means that it does not matter

"Yousef want more screentime!"

Man she really wanted it huh. good for her.

done

 

[starseeker300]

man i really hope my submission shows up before everyone goes to valla

 

[Antilocal123]

Are you lot like roleplaying or something?

 

[lordofthekevins]

man i really hope my submission shows up before everyone goes to valla

hopefully, I'm going to draw some new corrins during my next play session

Are you lot like roleplaying or something?

I'm just kind of shooting from the hip tbh. I'm playing the game and ascribing personality traits onto my viewer submitted custom characters through context and gameplay mechanics more than anything else
