No Mr. Fuga's wild ride isn't in this chapter what are you talking about

[+] Update 7



Apparently this dude who entered my castle got my Dark Flier Sakura: I wonder if her own Sakura will be replaced by an Einherjar riding a black horse?







You darn hobos get out of my property







Kaze, Corinne needs to bond with you fast enough so that you won't fall off a cliff







But first let's do some SKIRMISHES







17 magic what the fuck



and she even has a 90% growth rate as a Witch







Those stats are so balanced I love it







SPOILER ALERT: she fails at doing such tea







Saizo admits that he's going to spy on a little girl while she's on the bathroom







Meanwhile, Silas touched Rinkah's merchandise for a few seconds or so. :^)



With that said, here's a SKIRMISH LEVELS AND SUPPORT DUMP

[+] Spoiler



Ignore the two Einherjars I got for getting the DLC seals the only good levels were the last six



Also, Orochi gained Shadowgift as a skill, which is useless since the only dark tome in Fates is Nosferatu, and Saizo gained Tactical Advice, which grants +10 hit to an ally Saizo's supporting, which is basically the same bonus every unit gives when paired up in attack stance.







We now start Chapter 8 with some Corinne sass







Apparently IS wanted to put in at least a desert map in every Fire Emblem, and even in Fates, though this is the only main story desert map you will find in fates period, as the remaining desert maps are in the children paralogues.







Also these dragon veins exist and they make the map easy to traverse, too.







And at the other side of the map we find Hinoka with her two retainers, Azama and Setsuna.



First let's start with Hinoka: she bears the characteristics of a typical Pegasus Knight: high Speed, Luck, Res, and even a pretty good Strength and Skill growth, with her Str base being kinda low, but I'm definitely going to use her over Subaki, that I'm certain. Also, her personal skill is an aura that gives +2 damage dealt to all allies within 2 spaces, so that's always good.



Then, there's Azama, also known as the Hexing Rod Asshole by Conquest Players. Unlike most healers, who focus more on Magic and such, he focuses on Strength instead, making him an excellent candidate for a Great Master promotion, or literally any type of physical class ever. His personal skill is pretty useful when he's still a Monk, as it activates when he has no weapon unequipped, but when you promote or reclass him, it does lower its usefulness.



And then there's Setsuna. Setsuna's the first Archer you'll get in Birthright, and for being the first archer in the game, she's one fast littler bugger, with a 75% Speed growth as an archer, though that's probably the only thing she has over a much better archer you will get two chapters later in Birthright. Also, her personal skill's useless in a no healing run.







I then forgot about HP Tonics and gave them to everyone deployed.







We first start the turn by letting Sakura activate the first Dragon Vein.







That was a good level, Mozu! Keep it up! (She even got HP)







Hana and Corinne go and kill an Oni Savage and a Samurai, respectively.







oh god silas that feather looks so bad on you it looks like it's sticking right up your ass







Rinkah wHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING WITH THAT PAULDRON OF YOURS IT SHOULDN'T DO SUCH THINGS







...anyways, Rinkah manages to kill that Samurai Silas threw a Javelin at.







And Corinne, with support from Subaki, talks with Hinoka, recruiting her, Azama and Setsuna all at the same time.







Oh, and I forgot about the boss, too. My apologies.



Fuga's not that hard, he's just going to be a nuisance with that Seal Strength skill of his and that High HP, too. Also, he has an Iron Mace, an enemy exclusive weapon that is basically a 1-2 range Iron club.







Let's keep killing more Wind Tribe soldiers!!!







OK wait that's a really good level Kaze, keep it up







Mozu why can't you kill







On the other side of the map, Silas finds a stray Oni Savage. He then equips his Steel Sword for WTA.







Also, this happened, too.







look at that fucking strength holy shit







Oh, and this Archer ran away. To the direction of the Shrine Maidens, I guess? Nevertheless, he dies to Subaki's hands.







i need to find that fucking pike of yours quickly







In the meantime, learn from Orochi on how to get good levels, now.







In the next turn, Silas kills the Oni Savage, and Subaki ORKOs the Diviner...







...Sakura then activates the second Dragon Vein...







And then Saizo and Orochi manage to kill two more units in this turn.







AND THEN JAKOB NEARLY DIED IN ENEMY PHASE AND THAT SHIT SPOOKED ME







YOU AREN'T HELPING THE FACT THAT YOU ALMOST DIED.







At least someone has the decency of getting good levels...







Hinoka actually does something in this map, and kills a Samurai lying around.







With the army united, I then split it in two groups in order to box that Samurai, who was paired up with that Archer.







And these two managed to get good levels from them! ...Except for you, Subaki.







With Fuga being the last enemy standing, we now throw rocks at him.







Rinkah weakens him...







And Hinoka finishes him, getting a good first impression as well.







And the map's done!







out of my sight you fucking scrub

who's ready for wind tribe shenanigans@Lergi: tbh it wasn't that hard aside from a close call that you'll see@Pluslefan: You can get the flame shuriken from a level 2 armory, yes.@Miekiki: Lucky you, one time in my Revelations playthrough they managed to get to her and even one shot her, too.
