Mostly done...

So uh... I killed The White Conqueror without any problems at BR84. I don't think that was supposed to happen! Also got rid of the Demigod while I was at it. Recorded them too, so that was a plus, although it was with JP text. I think I accidentally killed The Lost Remnant without recording it, so that fight is currently missing. Unless I did record it... The one fight's that really pissing me off is the Idols fight. I actually managed to beat them... with 3 unions down. But I haven't been able to reproduce the fight. If I don't flank them, my team's screwed because of the end-of-turn attacks that really, really hurt. Especially from the Charged Idol and Divine Idol. They just don't have good enough defense to deal with all the damage, even while in the Mystic Henge formation, which boosts M.DEF by about 13% in its most basic form.

Oh, can't forget the Jhana Royals. That was a fun fight. Everyone survived and there wasn't much of a struggle against the giant piece of armor, Ala Melvilana Fusion. I still find it funny that they use Hermien's voice clips during the fight. Guess they can't really do too much about it since it's a DLC boss. Still, I wonder how the fight would go on the 360... Seeing as how everything just hits a lot harder on the PC. I watched MasterLL's version of the fight, and was amazed at how little damage Assault Frost did. Only about 600 or so. Normal mode at about BR21? I'd suffer almost 2000. Hard Mode? Uh... Practically kills the union (about 4000~6000, depending on units hit and if there's a critical). Uh. Yeah.


Started a new run with unique leaders. I'm just goofing around with the trainer at the moment, since I still need to do the Rank 8 fight with those soldiers. I really think it's going to be near impossible once the Valeria Heart pops up. It's physical damage, and I don't have anything to protect against that, unless you count using the Shield Potion. Yeah. It's really not going to help. Crimson Flare and Fatal Eclipse are going to kill as well since they have the Omni modifier. There count be a chance for them to dodge those... but only if they're Mysticknights. At least they seem to be dodging and countering a lot more lately. Kinda weird. The Ancient Ruins isn't giving me as many stat ups as I'd like. Not to mention that there aren't that many enemies to deal with in the first place. How the hell did I manage to get Rush's Intellect to 255 anyways?! I don't think too many of the soldiers are anywhere near 200 for either Strength or Intellect. Speed and their Unique don't matter too much, and trying to get their arts to the Peerless/Swift modifiers. Still taking too long, and they're bound to kill Bai Ze in fewer than 30 turns. I don't have enough units to lower Morale without dealing way too much damage. Maybe I should bring in those Rogue Athlum Soldiers? They all have WAs to use if I can get their weapon and wield stats high enough... Anyways, was just checking to see what types of weapons they would take along their upgrade line. What I WILL do for the run is to change the BR to force them to ask about their focus (and re-focus) and their new arts. Oh, and change their class to their legitimate end-game classes. It means that I'll be at a slight disadvantage because they'll be stuck in the first rank of said class until they reach the requirements for the next rank up. Which WILL take a while since most of them are Rank 5 or higher. Rank 7 in Rush's case. I'll give Emmy the Legendary Ninja class as well since I'm not exactly keen on giving her the Nightbloom. Maybe. I'm going to have 2 other simultaneous runs. One is a fresh run. The other is a No Mystic Arts run. Yes, absolutely no MA. Morale control is going to come solely from items (Pandora's Box, Retreat/Rousing Flare) and flanking. All soldiers that are going to be hired will be using either IA or only WA. Going to choose the soldiers that have One-handed and Power Grip options. That'll help with variety of moves used. Again, I'll only be recording special fights (events too for the 1080p Unique-乱殺 run).


David's quest, The Distant Promise
Just noting these down, because it's pretty funny seeing what they say. And Athlum's not a brand of tea!

Celapaleis
Gossipy Girl: Recently there's been gossip about Lord David's love interests...or lack thereof. He's never been connected with anybody. That's the latest scoop, anyway!
Bartendress: Really? I could swear there was that one person a while back...
Gossipy Girl: What? What? Really? If you know something, you've gotta dish!

Baaluk
Lively Old Man: Recently there's been gossip about the Marquis of Athlum's love interests...or lack thereof. He's never been connected with anybody. ...That's the scuttlebutt, anyhoo!
Bartender: Izzat so. And?
Lively Old Man: WHen I think love interests, I think of Granny. Yanno, she was totally gaga over me...fifty years ago, anyway! Gahahahaha!

Balterossa
Bartender's Daughter: Recently there's been gossip about Athlum's Marquis's love interests...or lack thereof. He's never been connected with anybody. That's the latest news, Daddy.
Bartender: Hrm, and he is that age... Alright, beloved daughter, I forbid you from going to Athlum for a while!
Bartender's Daughter: O-okay...

Royotia
Passionate Miner: Recently there's been gossip about Athlum's Marquis' love interests...or lack thereof. He's never been connected with anybody. Wonder if he's a eunuch? An' that's the story!
Bartender: Harumph harumph...harumph! Marquis of Athlum...you, too, are my rival! ...Impressive, don't you think?
Passionate Miner: Definitely a surprise.

Undelwalt
Qsiti Chaperon: The Marquis of Athlum has quite a humber of admirers, it seems. All are surprised that he does not have a special lady friend. This is the talk of the town, my lady.
Bartendress: So this "Athlum"... Ah, perhaps it is a new brand of tea!
Qsiti Chaperon: Indeed.
*** This is actually a reference to tea... More specifically Orange Pekoe. Orange Pekoe tea's name is probably a reference to the Orange-Nassau house, as they dealt with tea trading. The more you know...


Elysion
Mysterious Part-Timer: A lot of the ladies are wondering why the Marquis of Athlum has no lady in his life. I can't see why-he's a good-looking fella. Interesting, huh?
Bartendress: Who's to say he doesn't? Ooh! I wish I could find out.

Melphina
Noob Qsiti: A lady was overheard saying the Marquis of Athlum was too young and attractive not to have a lady in his life. What's that about?
Bartender: Don't you know? Athlum's great at hiding information. I'm sure he has a secret lady friend.
Noob Qsiti: You know everything!

Ghor
Mercenary With a Past: According to my sources, the admirers of the Marquis of Athlum cannot believe there is no woman in his life, sir! Sir! What do you think of this?
Bartender: Why would I care about this?

Nagapur
Trendy Girl: A lady was overheard saying the Marquis of Athlum was too young and attractive not to have a lady in his life. Isn't that exciting?
Bartender: Love is a game for two.
Trendy Girl: Sometimes, it's a game for one...
