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

And maybe add a str requirement?

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

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....

Higher builds are harder to break

It makes sense!

Add it

in other games they just did weight is effected by strength, but that fucked over mages

build was in older games too as con but con usually elveled faster iirc?

and i didnt really find con being such an issue in FE6/7

i think those r the onl y games with it iirc

Con was more important for squishy archers and myrms because they can’t wield like a killing edge without getting weighed down

I rate this Dan post a 4

Do better next year

i remember now

yeah build is super important in this, but i cant really remember con but that feels about right

also i have a unit at the literal speed class stat and they cant even double 💀

class cap*

ike paralogue was really brutal but really fun

managed to do it in 4 turns with lyn cheese

great knights with 20 speed and thoron mages with 50 atk and seal res is retarded though

chain attacks were really strong since ike has an autistic 40 def and 60 hp
