Message: [QUOTE="lordofthekevins, post: 131293, member: 130426"] CHAPTER 12: THE GAIDEN SNAFU AND THE POWER OF NEPOTISM [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41860[/ATTACH] [MEDIA=youtube]bQBdT1qtZbw[/MEDIA] [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41862[/ATTACH] 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... [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41866[/ATTACH] 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 [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41873[/ATTACH] 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. [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41875[/ATTACH] 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 [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41877[/ATTACH] 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... [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41878[/ATTACH] 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? [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41879[/ATTACH] 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 [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41880[/ATTACH] I try to form up against these enemies, who are moving in fast [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41881[/ATTACH] 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 [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41882[/ATTACH] 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 [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41883[/ATTACH] 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 [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41884[/ATTACH] 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, [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41894[/ATTACH] I,,,, Should have known honestly. [automerge]1741912908[/automerge] [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41898[/ATTACH] Magic and speed level? Man I'm walking on air [ATTACH type="full" size="102x100"]41899[/ATTACH] "It's called simplifying the gamestate, sweetie!" [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41901[/ATTACH] 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 [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41902[/ATTACH] Naizou blasts that dark mage for a Kamui level up [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41903[/ATTACH] 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 [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41904[/ATTACH] get owned [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41905[/ATTACH] Oh hey it's all my high level characters. trapped on a boat away from where all the combat is happening. fun. [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41906[/ATTACH] check out this dude's buttcrack [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41907[/ATTACH] The berserker is here! he does a good chunk of damage [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41908[/ATTACH] 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. [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41909[/ATTACH] Luna can just obliterate this guy [ATTACH type="full" size="1440x480"]41910[/ATTACH] and Korin can just eat his friend. good for her [/QUOTE]
