Fire Emblem Tropera Rules & Discussion

Okay, so here's an idea.

Gramp moves closer to Gertrude to prepare to heal her back to full next turn. Then when he does so, Gramps will be at K4 to plug the entrance and only suffer one attack during the enemy phase while Gertrude rushes back to damage the mercenary if he plants himself at G4.

Then Zeera, Buckley and Grendan can take out the the mercenary and archer, while Eridan goes to ORK the 2 spd bandit. That might actually leave a bandit alive, but it's only one stupid bandit.

EDIT: This is, of course, assuming the entire southern squadron advances on us. Even if they don't, it's still a pretty solid formation, I think.

Since it seems like we have a general (?) consensus that we'll let the southern group come to us, I'm going to move Buck to G3 where he can move south or east as needed.

Gertrude, Zeera, Buckley, and Grendan can double every brigand and most archers.

Zeera and Gertrude can double every mercenary.

NO ONE can double the H10 archer. (Is he the descendant of 3-13 archer)?

I'm feeling really good about my stat spread. That 1% crit chance notwithstanding.

I don't think Grendan can double any enemies actually. Everyone has at least 2 speed to his 5.

Huh, I was looking at his skill. Grendan you suck!

For Turn 2, I think Eridan should shift focus to the mob up front, and Gertrude should fall back a space or two. Grendan... I'm kinda iffy, but kinda leaning toward finishing off the archer he's already working on.

Thoughts?

Okay, that didn't go quite so well.

Concur having Grendan finish that archer is the best course of action. Eridan might OHKO that mercenary on G5, then we tank as best we can with Gramps and Buck holding the line.

Gertrude either has to pull back a space or get Ab'zeera to support her, maybe both. I really don't like her situation. I would like Ab'zeera south so her and Buckley can work on whittling down the attackers, but that might leave Gertrude in an untenable position.

Also, do we have the option of just unequipping our weapons, as in POR? If so, that might have to be Buckley's course of action. No weapon is better than Weapons Triangle Disadvantage.

EDIT: shit, and I realized that Buck's going down if the archer and the axeman both land hits on him. He's reasonably dodgy but not enough for this.

Proposed plan.

It might make more sense to shift Gertrude to the southern axis while Buckley defends the east.

Gertrude has the defense to take two hits if needed, as long as Gramps tops her up. Someone will have to tank that; that archer+axe combo is pretty dangerous. And of course, the airspace is closed as long as that archer is alive, meaning no Grendan.

Buck's a glass cannon. If he lances that wounded eastern axeman in the face at M4, he'll be in a very winnable matchup against the swordsman. Our magicians can work on reducing the incoming horde.

What does everyone think?

Might work. Buck's gonna have to get lucky enough to hit Mr. Axe to survive even if he goes east, though.

Beyond that, it's largely what I was considering suggesting, though I refrained because it sounded a lot like I'd be telling the other players what to do.

Hmm... actually, I think that the archer near us is pretty much a non-issue if he doesn't attack Buck after he gets axed. New idea: Move Gertrude to the center, have Zeera go finish off the weakened axe guy, and send Buck to fight the swordsman to the east. Seem workable to you?

: Yeah, that's pretty much along the lines that I was thinking of.

Potentially...yeah. I like this. (I'd miscalculated Buck's chances against that eastern axeman, he'll need to hit twice.)

Key here is that both Gramps and Gertrude would have to be capable of surviving both an axe and an arrow. I think they're both fine, but I'm not completely certain. Zee can shift between fronts as needed; her and Eridan are going to have to provide the majority of the threat reductions (by killing them in the face. I mean they will have to reduce the threat we face by way of murder.)

Oh wow, Eridan missed off an 83 hit. That sucks.

I honestly suggest Grendan pull back and help us tank on the main front, since Wryte took out the arrow weakness for fliers.

Here's the thing. We want Gertrude to come back, as she not only softens up the mercenary, but also so she's in range of Gramps. But once she goes on G4, Gramps will have to go on G5 to heal her, since we need to block off the choke, and we also want to move Eridan to F4 in order to ORK the 2 spd bandit while behind our lines. That leaves F5 wide open, and the only tanky one of us left is Grendan.

Besides, the C4 archer can't even hurt us. We need to prioritize.

Lastly, I think Buck moving east is the right choice.

I don't think we can OTK the G5 enemy, unfortunately. Not without having one of our casters help out, and they're both occupied (Zeera's necessary to ensure Buck survives this turn, while Eridan may be busy blasting an axeman).

That's fine, since Grendan can move to F5 and take him right out.

Oh, right, I was forgetting to factor in Gertrude's double. Sorry! Seems doable now that I've remembered that detail.

Oh. Shit. Forgot about the arrow weakness being no longer a thing.

Well then. I say we call in the fliers.

As long as Eridan moves out of E4, that is. With a defensive line of Grendan, Gramps, and Gertrude (you lot didn't do that on purpose, did you?) I think we have a fair chance.

Oh wow, Eridan missed off an 83 hit. That sucks.

He missed by 1, even.

Gertrude, on the other hand, was 1 off from critting her bandit with her second hit.

So I take it we're doing actual randomness rather than true hit?

I'm actually rolling. Real physical dice and everything.

...I'm scared now.

So does weapon triangle not have extra damage bonus? Because I think Gertrude should have dealt 9 damages each to the axe bandit.

No, it's just accuracy for this game.

Okay, So I advice against Buck fighting M4 bandit. Zeera can OHKO M4 and she has twice the chance.

I think the plan is to have him deal some damage to the mercenary and wall off the choke.
