Everyone plays Fire Emblem, March 7th

So, I did some more FE:A Lunatic.

I tried Brady's paralogue again, but despite charging out decently aggressively and pulling out the Nowi bomb (she's just too stronk and overleveled-the promotes were doing no damage to her paired with Tharja), I still got into a shitty situation on the second turn, as Brady (still green, as Chrom had to do battle) ran NW into the open to go heal a bit off of Cherche. That would've forced a rescue staff use, and thing would've gone downhill from there (I counted it out, and I'd lose 4 villager on the next turn-not cool).

So I back out, and eventually decided to do Inigo's paralogue, despite it being one of the harder ones. The enemies are a lot beefier (sorcs and generals oh my), but they're slower than swordmasters and pallies, but the fliers were not getting very doubled. It actually wasn't that bad, though. I was surprised that the front guys in the fort came out on the 2nd turn, but after some thinking I made a good plan. First, I recruited Inigo, and ran everyone I could Southwest. I then had Robin, javelin equipped (and paired with Chrom, of course) get into the range of just the two front Dark Pegs of the SW flier force. However, I had already moved Ricken to be in range of the two generals in the front (as they'd come out that turn), and got him rally spectrum'd. He proceeded to have Tharja dual-guard both strikes (at 19%, no less), and murdered the generals. Robin killed the two dark pegs, and then I had everyone else go run in and finish off the other sw fliers, and netted Inigo a kill (paired with Lucina, he's pretty speedy, enough to not get doubled, but he did little damage, around 10, and was as defensive as a paper bag-galeforce on him really helped, though). Anyways, I then ran Chrom up, had him kill the closest one of the assassins that came out, and he got rid of the rest + one north griffon rider on the enemy phase. I then backed off to the southeast, pulling the fliers (and a random general) along with me, and eventually killing them all with the help of a rescue staff usage. Inigo got another kill in this group.

So then I went after the fort, which wasn't too bad (had to watch out for vengeance, but the sorc had pretty bad hit rates on whoever they attacked). I exploited the positioning to draw out the guys in the rows enterable on my side, and even netted Inigo a double-kill via galeforce. I then went around the top to draw out the guys in the rows eneterable on that side, but they came out once I got in range of one of them, and so I got rid of them too, getting inigo one more kill (thanks to an armorslayer), despite a general's counterattack doing 40 out of his 45 health. I then killed the boss with Robin (she could take his bow hit due to her mass of hp and a bonus kris' confect).

So that was inigo's paralogue. I decided to just grind Cordelia up a bit, as she was pretty much nothing more than a liability in her current lv. 12 state (when everyone's averaged about 15). So I gave her a quick runthrough of the xp map to get her to 15, and I also took the chance to finish robin's support with ricken (it was nearly done). Robin's kills got her to 15, and thus galeforce. So I decided to do Morgan's paralogue to end out.

It was pretty easy, though Robin did get pretty beat up while paired with Morgan and flying around the right side of the map. I did some non-standard (not married couples) pair-ups to get some more support points on people, but the only one I ultimately got was Lon'qu/Sully C. However, Morgan's great (has 53 health and capped speed at 27 after one level), and he got to 16 in the chapter due to it (and his pairup with Robin).

I also got everyone to level 15 but Lon'qu (whose bosskill got him to only 14/96 xp), but he doesn't really need to pass any skills, so it doesn't really matter. However, Gaius' now 15, so I can do Gerome's paralogue if I don't want to pass any special skills with Cherche (should I get him Dual Support+? I'm leaning towards it, though that means he'll probably have to wait a while). Mentioning skills, the only kids non-recruitable yet due to skills passing problems are Kjelle and Owain, with Kjelle needing a male-only skill from Vaike (Axefaire or Counter?), and Owain needing Lissa to go Dark peg for galeforce. Still, I can go do Severa's and Yarne's (and Tiki's, if possible) now if I so want to..

I might go fight Walhart first, but I still have quite a bit of weapons and stuff left, so I think I'll probably go do Severa's and Yarne's before I finally interrupt the Conqueror's castle gardening.
