Lets play Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

[Rikter]

Peg. Knights actually tend to have decent Avoid in the GBA games, even while getting weighed down.

Murphy's Law is another major reason. They seem to have 0 Avoid against Archers/Snipers

Y'know, I was playing this last night, and I thought that for a laugh, I'd have Eirika attack Breguet, because she had the Rapier.
And I distinctly recall that one guy saying that both Rapiers and Armorslayers can take down Heavily-Armored foes.

And as luck would have it, she one-shots him with a crit.
Levels off of it too.
I'd say that I was damn lucky, but maybe she had the advantage due to the rapier?
I wouldn't really know though, as I've not played an FE game before.
But due to experience with games like this, I do fairly well.

Hell, I got my start playing games like these with Final Fantasy Tactics.
The original one for PS1.
Which made for some immensely amusing and infuriating late-game random encounters.

Eirika (assuming one point above base stats) will die in two hits to Breguet (attacking him on the player phase + him attacking you on the enemy phase) with Breguet attacking at ~76% accuracy.  Eirika will kill Breguet in two hits at about the same accuracy, plus she doubles, plus she has a 12% chance of critting with either hit.

It's a roll of the dice but the odds favor Eirika.

I don't have the stats available offhand but Hard Mode Breguet probably won't die in two Rapier hits, so Eirika is probably toast unless she crits.

[Hanzo K.]

Now that I think about it, she had scored a level earlier on in the map, nothing much to write home about on the growth aspect though.

I could've save state abused to get a good stat growth if I felt like it, but I'm a lazy *bleep*.

...I may start over again to get good growths though, just so I can get through easier, and have better stats when I give my units a PRRRRRRRROMOTION.

Also, she only needed to hit once, as her first hit was a crit.

[Michael Azrael]

Oh hey, sacred stones.

How I loved thee, with your class branches and the fact you contained my first favorite FE class, the Rogue~

*coughs*
Also, get Colm to Rogue.
Do it.
Mine had like, 90 dodge, and maxed str, spd, and luck. He never died, ever.

Although an assassin is fine too. Those 50% chance of instant kill on critical hit is great fun to play with.

[Hanzo K.]

Well, I hope that it all works out for me.

[The Greatest Dog]

Make Amelia into a General and she'll be the fastest damn general you'll ever see.

But she seems to lack a bit of power for me, so Franz support and access to the whole weapon triangle ftw.

Yeah, General is my favorite choice, but she ends up capping her speed really quick though.  Not sure about Franz support though.

[The Greatest Dog]

Amelia boosts Franz's somewhat lacking evasion and defense. And both parties get a 15% critical rate, which is delicious.

Either way, Amelia will double EVERYTHING. Except those demon dog things, but they usually do zero damage to Amelia anyways.

[Hanzo K.]

That's pretty solid logic.

Amelia's the Peg Knight you get at the outset of the game proper, right?
I've slept since I last played, so the Ol' memory banks are a tad fuzzy.

That's Vanessa.
Amelia is the Recruit (the one who can barely hold up a lance in her animations).

[Hanzo K.]

Ah, what chapter does she join in?

I've only made it up to the part where Innes and Colm join.
Sadly though, Innes had fallen to a lucky hit shortly after recruiting Colm, so I hit reset.
Haven't touched it since.

[?q]

You're getting your characters mixed up.~

Amelia doesn't come in for quite the ways from where you're at.

[Hanzo K.]

Ah, so i'd have to abuse the Tower to get her anywhere?

But about me mixing up characters, it's quite understandable really, the Ol' Memory Banks just aren't what they used t' be...

[?q]

Ah, so i'd have to abuse the Tower to get her anywhere?

As far as making her a unit you would actually want to use, yes.
The last time I checked she was at the very bottom of an efficiency tier list.

[Hanzo K.]

Hmm....As I thought.

Being good at Strategy Games like this are something I pride myself on.

Nah, that would be Ewan.

[?q]

Nah, that would be Ewan.

Ewan is second-from-last. 
At least he uses magic, meaning he can hit enemies indirectly without Javelin accuracy - making him remotely trainable without the Tower.

I'll update/coment tuesday after vacation
