If you think Luna is overkill, you should see BK's special in Radiant Dawn. Eclipse straight up ignores ALL Def and QUINTUPLES BK's nearly capped STR. Guaranteed 120 DMG that ignores DEF in a game with max 80 HP on a unit that one rounds everything already. Its hilarious
@@danielchen1047 And then he twerks on your unit's corpse! Seriously, RD went nuts with mastery skills. The only one that's fair is Ike's Aether and Astra (mainly because it can still miss and doesn't crit), all the other ones are basically a OHKO (Triple Strength and ignore defense, Ignore Resistance and reduce Luck to 0, etc.). Astra sucks in PoR because it cuts your strength and magic by half when it procs, and it loves to proc when one or two hits would have killed the unit anyway, it's just a handicap that eats away all your weapon durability.
i accidentally made a save state after moving zihark into range of bk.... I THOUGHT I WAS SAFE.... accidentally lost like two hours of progress because i saved over my most recent save before that....................................... SHIT
It happened to me with Boyd. BK came, usual jumpscare, and moved to 2-range my Fighter. Second jumpscare. Then he dealt 39 damage; 3rd jumpscare. Boyd had HP capped, so I said "Phew!" Then BK did a followup. oof RIP Boyd, so I replayed the level.
I had Astrid die on turn 1 on that one ship chapter.. some BS. Apparently have to push+smite Ike to reach her before she literally dies.. on first enemy phase
Once you learn what you have to do, it isn't hard, and it has the benefit of being a turn 1 shenanigan so you're not going to lose 15 turns if you fail to recruit her. But first time players are going to learn that the hard way.
The trick is to send your cat up the side on the first turn. Saving the vigilantes isn't worth it. Just nab Zihark and go... that's how I always played it, at least. XD
You can divide the army in three, the Laguz go up to recruit Zihark and Visit the top house rather quickly, the other two split into the top and bottom paths to the left. With Marcia around, you can visit the houses before the thieves reach them, and you get to use a lot of units in this map specifically (and I tend to leave some slots open because only a certain number of units to get all the EXP).
