#no reset akaneia hell

[airlock]

his counsel is sensible as ever

[airlock]

the binding shield is complete and I’m on the way to the true ending! here’s all the people who died to make that happen:

Warren, Draug, Marisha, Ryan, Palla, Matthis (not recruited), Catria, Wrys, Linde, Yuliya, Jubello, Cord, Rickard, Arran, Caesar, Radd, Navarre, Ogma, Jeorge, Merric, Barst, Cecille, Caeda, Wendell, Jake (not recurited), Roger, Phina, Horace, Malice, Roderick, Reiden, Sirius, Cain, Beck, Darros, Arlen, Roberto, Belf, Castor, Frey, Dolph, Est, Abel (not recruited), Astram (not recruited), Gordin, Macellan, Luke, Norne, Tomas, Julian, Dice, Frost, Bord, Eins*, Sedgar (not recruited), Wolf (not recruited), Vyland, Midia, Etzel (yeah, THAT one)

*and yep, I’m so far down in units I actually got one of the auto replacements, and then I got that one killed too (not hard to do since these guys are useless lmao). I actually just got two more now, too

and now, we look forward to when this list expands even further! at least each individual death isn’t quite as likely to make this entirely unwinnable now (although I dunno if that’s even a point I can sink to considering that MU is nigh invincible now)

[airlock]

catching him midblink for that sentence changed everything

[airlock]

so there’s that tidbit that just came up and I didn’t remember about: Boah didn’t just arrange the marriage between Hardin and Nyna outright, but he gave her the ultimatum that it had to be Hardin or Marth, and she picked Hardin to avoid breaking Caeda’s heart

and now I’m just thinking that this has got to be freaking hilarious to everyone who headcanons Marth/Caeda being a lavender marriage

[airlock]

"No man in Gra could match your defense," says Jagen of my MU who right now as 17 DEF in the Horseman class I'm reasonably certain that Sheena has more than 17 DEF... so he's right, no MAN in Gra

[airlock]

marth has a pretty good idea of how it is in this hell run

[airlock]

so I meant to hit a tidy landmark, like, say, completing the Starsphere and recruiting Tiki, before I’d set about delivering my dead list... hoo boy it’s already so long. and it just got like 6 characters longer just now because fuck my life

people who have died in this run so far, in order: Warren, Draug, Marisha, Ryan, Palla, Matthis (not recruited), Catria, Wrys, Linde, Yuliya, Jubelo, Rickard (not recruited), Arran, Caesar (not recruited), Radd (not recruited), Navarre, Ogma, Jeorge (soz @housemenidy but really I blame him), Merric, Barst, Cecil, Caeda, Wendell, Jake (not recruited), Roger, Phina, Horace, Malice, Roderick, Reiden, Cain, Beck, Darros, Arlen, Roberto, Belf

(in case you’re wondering yes, I still have alive units. not many of them now but I do. the game’s gonna throw a whole lot more of them at me yet, too, this is just the “at one point I was down to 6 characters” point of this run)

[airlock]

anyways, here’s the moment you’ve all been really waiting for: just how many people did I get killed in this run? well,

Warren, Draug, Marisha, Ryan, Palla, Matthis (not recruited), Catria, Wrys, Linde, Yuliya, Jubello, Cord, Rickard, Arran, Caesar, Radd, Navarre, Ogma, Jeorge, Merric, Barst, Cecille, Caeda, Wendell, Jake (not recurited), Roger, Phina, Horace, Malice, Roderick, Reiden, Sirius, Cain, Beck, Darros, Arlen, Roberto, Belf, Castor, Frey, Dolph, Est, Abel (not recruited), Astram (not recruited), Gordin, Macellan, Luke, Norne, Tomas, Julian, Dice, Frost, Bord, Eins, Sedgar (not recruited), Wolf (not recruited), Vyland, Midia, Etzel,  Ymir, Drei, Michalis (not recruited; I FORGOT YOU HAVE TO VISIT THE VILLAGE WITH MINERVA UGH), Zwei, Vier, Roshea, Nyna (not recruited), Lena (not recruited), Elice (not recruited), Fünf, Sechs

[airlock]

anyways, I failed to get the screenshot of how this was a crit, but have this glance of a wonderful daughter fucking butchering Medeus, prompting him to say the earth dragon anthem

[airlock]

so, it’s been a long time, but I may have shaken off some of that “only played Heroes recently” strategic stasis by now, so I figured I’d finally get started on no-reset FE12!

I’m already a few chapters in with a whole lot of people dead; will be posting some pics soon, in any case

[airlock]

right, so I’ve been neglecting to post screenshots for a long time, so now, it’s time to barrage you all with screenshots from no-reset akaneia hell

to start us off, here’s a recap of the absolute top moment of all FE12

[airlock]

y’know what I agree with you there, AIR NO

who I have left now... well, my remaining actually combat-ready veterans are Marth, MU, Gordin, Minerva, and Etzel; with Xane copying one of them I have like, a full frontline lmao

I also still have a lot of units lying around, but not really battle ready... I’ll just have to see if any of them can survive long enough to get good

[airlock]

so I didn’t post it then because of the, er, festivities, but I finished no-reset FE12 yesterday! here’s the crew that got sent to the finishing bash; and, below the cut, in case like one (1) person actually cares, I got their finishing stats

asterisks indicate capped stats

Marth (Lv30 Lord - Swords A) - 47HP 24+2Str/0+2Mag 25+2Skl*/25+2Spd*/30+2Lck* 13+2Def/1+2Res

MU (Lv20 Berserker - Axes A) - 58HP 30Str*/2Mag 24Skl*/28Spd*/22Lck* 20Def/0Res

Minerva (Lv20 Dracoknight - Lances A, Axes A) - 48HP 23Str/1Mag 20Skl/23Spd*/19Lck 24Def/5Res

Katarina (Lv20 Sage - Tomes B, Staves A) - 44HP 3Str/23Mag 24Skl/25Spd/13Lck 14Def/11Res

Xane (Lv15 Freelancer) - actually got up to like 7Str the absolute maddragon

Tiki (Lv21 Manakete) - 39HP 15+10Str/5Mag 17+7Skl/20+4Spd*/25Lck 7+15Def/11+11Res

Sheema (Lv20 Dracoknight - Lances A, Axes E) - 45HP 26Str*/1Mag 26Skl*/23Spd*/Lck26 17Def/6Res

Samson (Lv17 Hero - Swords C, Axes B) - 53HP 22Str/1Mag 23Skl/26Spd*/21Lck 19Def/5Res

Nagi (Lv18 Manakete) - 34HP 9+10Str/3Mag 14+7Skl/16+4Spd/12Lck 6+15Def/10+11Res

also Bantu, Maria, and two auto filler units were there I guess (not that I unbenched Bantu for this)

[airlock]

ASTRAM YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKER

[airlock]

alright, folks, we have arrived at the end of the ride; Shadow Dragon is now on the list of games I’ve successfully beaten on a no-reset run

it was magnificent, Marth hit max level just in time to fight Medeus and wrapped it up with a pointless crit, and anyways the final Dead List is as follows:

Gordin, Cain, Vyland, Sedgar, Cord, Barst (WHY), Minerva, Jeorge, Maria, Jake (not recruited), Midia, Astram (not recruited), Palla, Radd, Lena, Julian, Jagen, Roger, Linde, Est, Wolf, Lorenz, Tiki, Caeda, Bantu, Wendell, Beck, Rickard, Abel, Elice

in any case, I’ll most likely do FE12 soon thereafter... and then, when that day comes, you’ll know what tag to aggressively ignore!

[airlock]

so, I’m about to embark on yet another one of my no-reset adventures! this time, I will attempt a no-reset run of FE11

I can’t seem to remember what sort of tag I was using for the previous ones, but if you’d rather not deal with when I inevitably can’t shut up about this, you may ignore the tag #no reset akaneia hell
