the girl that saved the series
HORTENSIA WOO WOO!
...riiiiiiiighht
>>736281043I think she's underrated. People often seem to think she can only staffbot but her combat is fine against a number of targets, mostly she can abuse low RES and well-forged weapons very well with her incredibly high SPD.
>>736277170that does it I'm bringing out the big guns. only going to care about the boots silver card and warp, and maybe the ring if i have time to drop sophia without her instantly exploding from wyverns with strong lances burried deep within fog
>>736281087going to fill the thief inventories with garbage so they can send the valuable treasure to merlinus instead of dying to a silver lance with it still on them.
>>736281087It's game over if we lose durandal so don't try to fight the berserkers with it.Feel free to use statboosters and early promote units. Don't worry about getting warp. Just don't miss the gaiden.
Inb4 Rutger gets his anus exploded by one of the faggot bros again.
>>736281009>game flopped so bad IS crawled back to 3Htruly an unsung hero.
>>736281009i dont like having a player character in fire emblem. i want to be a nameless tactician. i always feel like player characters are meant to be OP and i hate killing stuff with them because it feels like a waste of xp
>>736281180so filling the inventory with junk works. nice to know i guess.
>>736281180Do we have Cath, or was she just killed off?
>>736281384i didn't see her not sure on her status.
Just post her official art already
>>736281417she gets doubled here? useless girl at least fe6 hitrates strikes the enemy.
>>736281009Yes cuz I Love RedxBlue shit
>>736281384Cath was deployed in 12x, I believe, and not 13, so she should be fine, unless she died off-screen.
>>736281009Are engage or shadows worth playing if I didn't mind the combat, but got bored of the other parts and stopped midway through the timeskip that gave everyone weird hair?
>>736281445trying to bait one of the wyvern lords to attack lugh
>>736281009This design is so strange. It looks retarded, but if you edited out either color, it would look so much worse. It's achieved an equilibrium of chaos and is actually genius
>>736281474Astolfo was used in 12x. Last sign of her was in >>736251530 so whoever did 12 probably just killed her off. Slight chance she was just ignored.
>>736281552wyvern lord got hit down to 1 hp from elfire and then sophia slept
>>736281609Colgate-chan's design does grow on you.
>>736281634
>>736281623Oh, I thought I saw the girl thief sprite in 12x. Actually kinda funny if she's just not recruited yet.
don't let the manaketes attack rutger or miledy, you will get crit
>>736281668yeah that crit is scary but thany can avoid all crit chance when the other pegasus is nearby with support bonuses
>>736281009>>736281043I LOVE HER GAME. it was PEAK KINO
>>736281737i hate low luck characters
>>736281775see no crit chance
>>736281813That Seraph Robe putting in work.
>>736281813oh this guy had a lance. shit. also lilina got doubled for 20/21 of her HP by an aircalibur mage.
>>736281534engageCHAD here, yes its worth playing.shadow is fun, i play it during my down time. very low commitment game. i just started with the yunaka banner myself
>>736281775>level 15 unpromoted melady>in chapter 14level 20 autism is a serious fucking brain disease
>>736281609>and is actually geniusI wouldn't go that far
>>736281846and lugh has to spend his action and dance reaction to kill this guy.
>>736281880You don't even have to fight that guy though...?
>>736281908You don't kill everything on every map?
>>736281908i need to get up to the silver card. astol can take another javelin after using a vulnerary just need to kill the mage that nearly one rounded lilina somehow so he doesn't get attacked twice.
so what are the pro fire emblem strats besides>don't move a character to a space where he can die if you hit end turn?
>>736281964dancer can also survive a round from the javelin wyvern
>>736281998In GBA you can do a lot with the Rescue command. Equipping the right weapons on your characters goes a long way too, also setting up trade chains to use good weapons multiple times. Stuff like that.
>>736281998Be agressive and clear enemies every turn or every space will be one where a character can die.Don't be too agressive or you'll die.
>>736282006it is currently turn 4
>>736282082Looks pretty good.
>>736282006nevermind i forgot the wyvern also had a steel weapon. at least i can get lucky.
>>736281998take at least 40 turns and 4:31:42 on every map for maximum reliability
>>736282117that's like infinite money basically.
>>736282149NO YOU IDIOT NOW IF YOU DIE IT'S NOT IN THE CONVOY.maybe i just trade it to roy. if he dies the run dies with him so items are "safe" staying on him
>>736281082Even if you aren't a warp skipping faggot, Engage has so many good staves that its kind of a waste to fight with her regardless of how decent she is at it.
>>736282184You can just use them on its best recipient (Melady) and not worry about it.
>>736282117yikes
>>736282184if this hits its the last 2 uses of this silver lance so might as well
>>736282191Sure, she's often staving, she can just fight when you need her to.
>>736282196okay done
>>736282184sophia can also be used to hold itemsor just use it
>>736281079Engage still sold more than all those shitty boomer emblem games tho
>>736282274I'm alright with this. Not my first choice but a fine one.
>>736282080what I don't get is if you commit to clearing a formation in player phase your fragile units will end up stuck in places where they can die if something goes wrong, so how can you be aggressive? it seems like you have no option but to keep taking safe enemy phases until they wear themselves down enough for you to player phase them safely.
>>736282274this guy needs to go
>>736281998>so what are the pro fire emblem strats besides>don't move a character to a space where he can die if you hit end turnmove a character to a space where he can die if you hit end turn but he dodged everything
>>736282340A few things here. You can surround the enemy unit, use terrain to prevent them from moving to attack particular units, leave only units that can face multiple rounds of combat, or just leave one enemy alive when everybody can face one round of combat, so you might calculate that you can kill all the units except one, or you can block some of them, and you go for that. Or you just dope up a unit and have them clear out large chunks of the map by themselves, that's how most people do it.
>>736282390rutger didn't crit which means -2 durandal durrability and he took damage here which means he's no longer combat ready.
engage bad3h goodgive me attention. I'm lonely
>>736282458You should have said conquest bad for extra guaranteed attention
>>736282448oh noi can take drop so she isn't slow but she'll still be at risk from the killing edge. it's up to fate now
>>736281009The backbone of the new fire emblemDone a lot more than people expected
>>736282458I love Three Houses but I also love Engage.
>>736281998Choke the point.
>>736282502also reinforcements begin to pour in enemy phase of next turn and my dancer is way out of position
>>736282543she got doubled but no crit. javelin too heavy and hero too fast. i really should have lost her there.
>>736282543Maybe send Thany to go pick her up.
>>736282510Based. I also like both and the autist who is here 14 hours a day to tribal war fucking hates it.
>>736281998equip everyone with javelins
>>736282579I love almost every Fire Emblem game, there's just a couple I don't care for, but not enough to hate them. That's just silly.
>>736281860I just realized I forgot to mention I was playing Three Houses, what makes Engage better than that one if I may? I'm kind of endeared to colgate-chan for some reason already, so I'll probably not care about the odd designs.
>>736282340Like the other anon said it's all about positioning. 5-6 and even more enemy units look more scary than they are. Usually you can take out the closer ones with your squishies and build a wall with your tankier ones. Just three guys in a row can already significantly hinder enemy movement especially if you use terrain to your advantage. You can also expose weaker frontline units in safe ways so that they still contribute to building the wall, like putting them in the middle of a three unit wall. It's scary but player phase is way way stronger than enemy phase so you gotta take advantage of it in harder games.
>>736281998>see cute girl>give it all your boosters
>>736282621Engage has more refined map design, gameplay and balance than Three Houses. I still have a lot of fun with Three Houses but Maddening was a rushed update after the game released because Hard was as hard as Awakening Hard, which is to say not at all, and while it does have some good maps it reuses a ton of them and many others are very easy to skip entirely.
>>736282565thany is in position to begin luring in some mercs not sure their exact AI.
>>736282565>>736282117Best girls coming in clutch
>>736282684dumb and dumber have arrived. must get away from the bottom left corner ASAP
>>736282117Lalum dodging here reminds me of my Azura in my recent Conquest playthrough, she's had a lot of clutch dodges that have saved a few chapters for me.
>>736282621>what makes Engage better than that oneengage doesnt look shit for one. animation, color and models are way too good.the girls are way too good compared to 3h (3h troons will tell you otherwise)the game is actually balanced, fun and not a drag to play.>muh loreslop and sad back storynone of that bullshit
>>736282728i should probably be moving up more as the reinforcements will be here soon but I'm also scared of what i can see
>>736282784this lugh is very nice to have
>>736282627in 4 it seemed like maps were usually too open for blocking to work, so you either had to just let sigurd kill everything or else really scramble with rescue staff dancing and figuring out perfect engagements if you want to let your weaker characters get exp. in fates maps were way more constricted and sing is only 25% as good as dance so there were tons of times where it seemed like my only option was to have marx park in the 1 tile wide hallway where the enemies would all suicide on him and everyone else would be stuck jacking off behind him.
>>736281009she looks like a rejected nortubel design
>>736282813We should have given him the Seraph Robe instead.
>>736282813it is turn 10.
>>736282940oh no thank god i used a torch but jesus that's a lot.
>>736282964first things first this guy cannot be allowed to live
>>736282996with 3 enemies dead it doesn't look quite so bad
>>736282669>>736282781That sounds a lot better to me and I've been craving a srpg lately. Now off to figure out how switch emulation works and where to find games in 2026, since it'll almost certainly be like 120 dollars or something and I'm well out of the loop of the open seas.
>>736283016assuming rutger doesn't get crit everything should be fine
>>736283098it was only a 1% nothing to worry about
>>736283125fuck it promotion time already for this bitch using the ring that shaman found in sand
>>736283145she was level 17 before promotion
>>736282828FE4 is one of the easiest FE games, but in a hypothetical world where your lord doesn't kill everything you could play a bit more strategicallyFace the tip of an enemy formation on enemy phase, then use your cavalry's movement + dancer to hit&run, then use the rescue staff on your dancer, put the most dangerous targets to sleep from a distance, then deal a bit more chip damage on enemy phase, then finish them off.Or you could find a place on the map where you can stack Seliph's leadership with Nanna/Delmund/Laylea charisma, lover bonus, rings, and calculate the damage your receive to put you in miracle range to guarantee you evade subsequent attacks.The lover/sibling bonus combined with 100-kill weapons could guarantee crits.Another option is to run past the enemy formation entirely with rescue+dance+leg ring and seize the castle.also you mention blocking but that's not the only option. It doesn't work very well in FE4, but in most FE games you can protect weaker units by 'tricking' the AI. E.g. unit A dies in two hits and is in range of two enemies, but you bait the enemy that attacks first into attacking unit B instead. Both units survive.
>>736283193and her first promoted kill perhaps if it hits
>>736283224it's turn 13. I've got time to try and push my luck and get warp.
>>736283145Lili is strong!
Was Robin
>>736283252i think i can get the warp next turn mage cannot crit or double and the brigands which spawn next turn are too far away to be a funny ambush kill, and I'm just outside of dragon range. right after getting warp next turn i will sieze with roy who is right next to the empty throne
>>736283381this is what i calculated
>>736283410ez game ez life
>>736283212the best strategy I figured out was running 3 horsechads in to kill 3 enemies and then moving back into a triangle with canter so leif could turn the triangle into a diamond and rescue staff the dancer who would let all 4 of them attack again. then hopefully the rest of the army could get in to clear out the rest of the formation. overall I thought it had way more player phase options than fates where the map design really wanted you to enemy phase in a lot of places.
>>736283445if he showed up even a single turn earlier this would be worrisome but he's no threat on the last turn
Kind of annoying how they wont patch any of the FE games on Switch for Switch 2. Koei Tecmo is MIA, and Engage is treated as if it doesn't exist
>>736283478this chapter took a lot of thinking planning dumb luck and cross refrencing multiple wiki images for items and enemy positions in the fog. glad it's over. next guy gets a boring gaiden chapter instead. rom: https://files.catbox.moe/74oito.gbasave: https://files.catbox.moe/4p5zf3.sav

...
Edelgard is one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen in vidya, bros
>>736284429I'd agree if her boobs were another cup size or two.
>>736284457That's what the padded armor is for: the illusion of supple breasts
>play 3H>great game, want more>turn on Engage>wtf is this gay shit>never play a fire emblem game againhow many such cases i wonder
where's the goons
>>736281009Does anyone else find it depressing that we're going from having the ugly Vtuber toothpaste protagonist to a quadroon with the lamest hair style ever? How has IS swung and missed twice in a row now? They were on a roll with Robin (best player insert of all time) and then (Only Female) Corrin and Byleth.
Byleth is hot.Rhea is beautiful.Edelgard is cute.
>>736281009Post her mound already
>>736284507This happened to me in a dream onceThen I woke up. Proud owner of both!
>>736284539Robin was more on the generic side than anything. Corrin was a retard, people only like the female version because she's barefoot. Byleth was criticized for being an emotionless husk which they explained in the game's lore, but it still doesn't really make him more interesting or the female variant not look like a frog. Self inserts and avatar characters that have female and male variants are just kind of gay in general. Why would it be so bad if we had designated protaganists?
Picked up Warriors again after a few weeks. Rukina is just gonna stay dead forever I guess. She died right before I beat a level and it autosaved right over it, so I couldn't go back to save her. That's ok though, I wasn't really using her anyways since her moveset just felt like Chrom but worse.
>>736283459Fates has a ton of options and the way you build your units determines which are available to you.Did you get a lot of use out of the 'shelter' command? You can pick up you dancer after she acts then have someone transfer her and dance again.
>>736284753I don't usually like doing this because you have to pay the turn to unpair them later, but it's nice for some situations where you want to dance Azura in a dangerous place and pull her out of it afterwards.
>>736281009But that's not Robin.
>>736284672I think it's supposed to make the experience more personalized. You customize the appearance and you get slight dialogue changes based on your choices and on your stats.>Hello, [Kris]. The upcoming boss has a lot of [defense]. [Kris], you have high [defense]. Keep up the good work.
>>736285084It's supposed to let you fuck Marth by Awakening which was a good idea.
>>736284672>lorenice try retard
>loreslop eaterswish all loreslop games would die
>>736285148They literally explain Byleth's "cold stare" in the story, just like they explain Toothpaste-chan's dual color scheme in the story for Engage. Doesn't really make their designs better even if there's a canonical explanation. Note how I did not even say they were good designs, quite the contrary.
>>736285243What's the lore behind Camillas big boobs?
>>736285283Her mom had big tits too probably.
>>736285283the royal family has a secret breast enlarging technique
>>736285283trauma from losing family early in her life made her tunnel vision to big happy familiesWhich is why she is stage 6 babycrazy and will literally adopt like 11 children if left unmarried
>>736285283"we need something to push our new mobile game"
I finished pairing everybody in my Conquest run except Beruka and Jakob, which I'm just not doing, and Azura and Benny, which I'm chipping away at. It's C21, Eternal Stairway. I've recruited Midori, Nina and Ophelia, but now my most of my carries are at +3 EXP a kill on L6 promoted enemies. It's better for EXP to push the chapters a bit, but it'll already be hard to build extensive supports for the kids, and pushing their recruitment later doesn't help there. On the other hand it gives them a chance to inherit better skills from their parents, so there's less of a need for them to get good classes from Partner and Friend Seals anyway, but support stats are still nice.
>>736285572I want to try 3HRT. As a straight white male I guess I need to take the Blue Lions route first?And yes, I already played Engage and loved it
What's the lore behind Lucina's small boobs?
>>736285765>As a straight white male I guess I need to take the Blue Lions route first?lol, thats the most homosexual route ever. if you must play 3hrt, i recommend golden deer instead. plus its the canon route
>>736285787Sex appeal.
>19 str at 20/20she fucking sucks
>>736285765Crimson Flower has you siding with your hot princess student who is probably evil overall.
>12 bld at 20/20cant beat ivy
>>736285875The only thing she has going for her is leveraging her proc skill with a Javelin. It's not very good, you're right.

Zelestia is my wife
Going to promote Tate/Fir/Milady
>>736286892>timerra and alcrystAlcryst was so weird for me, because I did a lot for him and even had his Luna proc rate quite high, but it was still just so disappointing every time there was no proc to save him. Timerra at least has the saving grace that her prf class can utilize Dual Assist+ as an inherit, which is free utility. Alcryst's prf class can do 20-range Astra with Luna, which is neat, but it's awkward having him use Lyn because Alcryst is already a speed-over-STR type unit.
>>736287175this map is easy exppromote miledy now if you want to be safe, but delay the other promotions
>>736287228I used both Alcryst and Fogado. I liked Fogado more with a magic bow but I didn't regret using either of htem.
>>736287258She got HP/SKL/SPD/LUK on the zerk
>>736287381>Acc 53
>>736287452Anything over 50% is just 100%.
>>736287452Well she could have died if she fought at one range. Thany had a 0% chance to get hit with a sword which saved me from possibly dying after the boss's siege tome
I'm in deep shit already
>>736287664retreat
>>736287664Do it pussy. The numbers are in your favor.
>>736287702I'm on the next turn already>>736287803She crit
>>736287854now you're gonna rescue miledy and retreat right?
>>736287898Well yes but Riri at the siege
>>736288008rip worst girl
>>736288008that might have saved miledy from deathI'm sorry I told you not to promote some units, please do so immediately because you need all the help you can get
>>736288008Oh, interesting that they went for a high RES target like Lilina, given that Milady is in range of both.
wow what a totally avoidable scenario by just not rushing everybody in at once
>>736288072>>736288097>>736288105Clarine is the MVP that lets Milady live these siege tomes. The enemy AI is also dumb and targets different units with the two sieges.
>>736288149The boss doesn't have enough damage to OHKO Lilina, even without barrier/pure water, so either that was a crit, or iron-kun is retarded, but I repeat myself.
>>736288285They sieged her on 2 straight turns but Clarine was healing Milady.
>>736288232>Clarine MVPCecilia can NOT use physic right now, by the way.
I'm gonna quit.
>>736288412Seriously, why just move all units into bolting range when you can just bait them out? There's no pressure in this map.
>>736288412if you actually quit, make a suspend save so someone can continue from there
>>736288494I got trapped and then had to fight each turn. I'm not familiar with GBA and I accidentally lost both whips so I'm gonna let someone else play.
>>736288529pass the mid chapter save

Fire emblem
Can someone give me a list or some recs of games on Steam that are like Fire Emblem or at least scratch the itch as closely as possible? Here are a few pointers to maybe help you out.-And I mean FE like or as close to as possible, so no games that are similar to Tactics Ogre / FFT.-I'm already aware of Vestaria Saga, but haven't played them yet. What's the consensus on these games? Steam reviews seem good, but I've been burned by Steam reviews quite often now and more often I've been rewarded by recs on /v/.-Also know about Langrisser 1 & 2, but these remakes look wretched. I couldn't stomach looking at a game like that.-I have Brigandine: LoR, great game. Looking forward to the new one despite it having a downgrade in its art style.
>>736290292Vestaria Saga are made by Kaga so they play exactly like FE. VS1 has a trading glitch so save every 5 turns or you'll get frustrated and uninstall. The best SRPG on Steam is Reverse Collapse Code Name Bakery.
