i got an achievmenet for 144 hours played, how many does it go up to jeez

New unova theory dropped

it may not look like it, but this is the optimal seadall build

i do not like fire emblem engages end game """difficulty""""

their way to balance it is to throw avoid tanks at you

everything in the endgame has 80~ avoid

even if you have like 130 hit, it doesnt matter

its """balanced""" because you can just spam engages to beat them, which im fine with when its the bosses you have to engage spam to beat thats fine

but literally the only unit types in this map are swordmasters and wolf knights and bow knights

thats not difficulty its just tedium because it wants you to essnetially abuse the rewind mechanic and engage mechanic, as its form of difficulty

HP or def res tanks are more fun to play around, because at least you know what damaeg you acn or cant do

avoid tanks literally just exist to make you waste rewinds or engage

theres no reason a mage with 150 hit shoudl have a 50% chance to hit most of the units

-average maddening player

its not just maddening rusp

youll encounter the same type of units

this isnt a difficulty problem

i refuse to believe hard mode magically will remove the unit types you encoutner

lol

cope

im pretty sure this avoid issue as well, is a result of the weapon triangle changes, balance wise anyways

any axe unit they throw at you will always be slow and with low avoid due to the classes, which makes them WAY too easy to obliterate because the break system, your sword user will pretty much one shot them always

so to create something "immune" to the weapon triangle, or at least weaker to it, they need high avoid, i.e. the high avoid class being swordsmen, or immune alltogetehr, like wolf knights

The new weapon triangle feels half baked but at the same time I think it could be good if they added more to it

Breaking is a lot more interesting than just flat damage

it is but you end up with a lot more issues

the triangle already was a lot more fleshed out than flat damage tbf

Beyond the flat damage, the weapons themselves also had attributes unique to themselves Axes got the highest damage, but the lowest hit rate Lances get medium both Swords get the lowest damage but highest hit rate Swords also have more avoid bonuses and critical options in comparison Axes always get an armor effectiveness weapon in every game Lances almost always have a ridersbane (beastkiller in awakening/fates), and sometimes a unique effectiveness Swords ALWAYs get wyrmslayer (being usually the only weapon type to get one) and armor effectivness (sometimes lords have rapiers that only they can use for horse effectiveness) Axes and Lances have a 2 range attack option, but swords almost always lack this option, and instead only feature the levin sword which scales off of magic, usually the other two weapon types dont have this magic option but there's some cases where they do albeit a little rare

I think breaking helps NPCs more than the player

breaking reduces the meatgrinderness of some turns

I think there's something there, to build off of

but idk how to make the system better

i like that breaking makes armored units even better

i feel like maybe there needs to be mroe requirements to it though idk

Yeah…

I think they could maybe throw it in on top of the system that’s already in place

Or something

Being stronger than the opponent

Or something along those lines I don’t know

thatd probably work tbh, itd make it so fliers and cavalary cant really break unless theyre overleveld

Which makes sense

which would probably make it a lot more balanced

yes

there's probably a lot yuou can do with it

It makes sense also that axes would break the most things

ingame break is just shown by

Because big heavy weapon

you dropping your weapon

and then one attack later

you pick it back up

I think the strength addition would solve most of the problems

The more I think about it

could also introduce weapons that can/can't break

i.e. a weapon that breaks no matter what

Or if they wanted to be super lazy only add breaking to specific weapons

or a weapon that does one thing but cant break

Like the great lances

Or whatever

That do the smash

smash weapons are an actual good mechanic

tbh

i love them

Basically stolen from FEH smh

the hitting enemis back

isnt even the best part

its the fact theyre thirty might weapons for units that can't double

it removes the need to double

cant double?

no problem

i think build probably also should be changed in some way kinda

i like it as a mechanic, but you also dont get any "build up" items in the game

and effectively gameplay wise

+1 speed is the same exact thing as +1 build

which....
