Fire Emblem 8: The Sacred Stones PMU Run.

[Dabottle]

Give me some earlygame and I'll love you forever.

What am I getting myself into...?

PMU = Pick My Units.

Rules/Guidelines:
1. I will be using Eirika and Ephraim.
2. I will be playing on Hard Mode and decide which route to go based upon my picks.
3. I need ten units to be picked. I don't think there are ten people who will give me units, so if I don't have a full team after about 36 hours, I'll post asking for everybody to pick another unit until my team is full.
4. Pick a unit and his/her promotion path, if applicable.
5. No picking Marisa or Super Trainees. I wouldn't mind the Super Trainees much, tbh, but my cartridge's data was recently corrupted and I'm not deleting any of the files on my 3DS.
6. I may use Valni to get trainees to level 10, if I deem it necessary. Not sure on this yet.

1. General!Amelia - Icey, the sadistic <censored>.
2. Summoner!Ewan - The evil Patriot.
3. DOZLA - Urist McAxelord, giving me his own axedwarfkind.
4. General!Gilliam - The dastardly Boltingshine!
5. Berserker!Ross - Gogo team Generals and Berserkers. Granted to be by the not-very-wonderful Tea!
6. Paladin!Forde - Bestowed upon me by the wonderful Urist McAxelord!
7. Bishop!Moulder the Boulder - Granted to be by the equally wonderful Judge Mandolore Shepard!
8. Sniper!Neimi - I hate you SacredScrapDragon UristMcAxelord!
9. Warrior!Garcia - Thanks a lot, IceyWave44...
10. Falcoknight!Vanessa - I LOVE YOU, ICE!

...Dreading this already.

[8:29:52 PM] Ice: This is hard. Warrior!Ross, General!Amelia or Sniper!Neimi?

And the randomizer decides... General!Amelia. It was the one you brought up, anyway. Have fun!

i hate you

stillbetterthanneimi

[Ice]

I was so close to just saying Neimi, but I decided to give you a chance. (kind of)

[Patriot]

Ewan as... Summoner!

Get to work bro.

[Dabottle]

betterthanneimi 10/10

[Patriot]

You are now hereby forced to use RENNAC!

Good luck.

[Urist McAxelord]

Dozla as Bestzerker.
Dozla is the best unit in FE.

[Dabottle]

Patriot, please wait another 35.something hours.

Ollie, why am I not surprised?

/stillbetterthanneimi

[Patriot]

Do this for every other FE game and I'll be so happy.

[Shiningbolt]

How about Gilliam? Might as well make your early game easier and whatnot.

[Dabottle]

What promotion?

[Shiningbolt]

Make him a General. You don't have enough of those, yet.

[Dabottle]

...I hate you!

[Tea]

Have Berserker!Ross, he's the best character. You'll never lose now!

[Dabottle]

Expected that. I guess he has earlygame...

[Urist McAxelord]

[13:59:55] Eoghan: Ollie go give me another unit.

You get Paladin!Forde.

[Judge Mandolore Shepard]

I think you need to go with Moulder the Boulder. As for promotion, go with the Bishop.

[Dabottle]

Thank you both! I love you!
EDIT: Caps censor ruined that I can't be bothered fixing it. Oh well.

[Luna]

Reading this thread and not having any idea what I'm saying and the fact you really don't want Neimi, I shall give you Neimi.
BECAUSE I'M EVIL

[Dabottle]

You crafty <censored>! :(

Actually, you didn't specify a promotion path, so I cannot accept that submission! Terribly sorry!

[Luna]

OK, I know there is a "Thief" promotion path through usage of Google, so go for that.

[Dabottle]

No, that's not an option for Neimi. That's a completely different class.

[Luna]

SNIPER NO SNIPING!
Urist told me Sniper. So hahahaha.

[Dabottle]

I hate you.

[Ice]

I must now start scheming again, since SSD stole my second choice and the cup of Tea was kind enough to grant you Berserker Ross instead of Warrior Ross. Can I give you another unit since you let Ollie do it?

[Dabottle]

Yeah, give me another unit.

[Ice]

Couldn't give you Warrior Ross, so... Have fun with Warrior!Garcia!

[Minntul]

Why not use Syrene?

[Ice]

Good job, sir, your task is complete.

[Dabottle]

NO OLLIE TOLD YOU TO AND I HAVE TOO MANY BAD UNITS
/caps censor

[Ice]

Lords/Forde trio the game.

EDIT: You were nice enough to give me a flying unit, so have FK!Vanessa.

[Patriot]

Oh man, can't wait for this to start.

[Dabottle]

EIRIKA AND GILLIAM ARE BAD AND KEEP DYING

Update when/if I beat this chapter.

EDIT: Stats after Chapter 4:

http://puu.sh/QKKG

Ross is very bad.

EDIT: Stats after Chapter 5x, sort of:

http://puu.sh/QNRl

[Dabottle]

[15-08, 19:15] Lord Penguin: Hey, Uzi.
[15-08, 19:15] Lord Penguin: Is it alright if I double post in my FE8 PMU?
[15-08, 19:16] Uzi: yeah.
[15-08, 19:16] Lord Penguin: Thanks.
[15-08, 19:16] Uzi: Double posting for stuff like bumping, updating, etc is acceptable

At Chapter 8 now:
http://puu.sh/VBxn

Eirika's still my best unit, but I'll get Ephraim back. ^_^ Garcia's great, Gilliam can take more than two hits and Moulder needs Magic. Vanessa needs Str. I hate you all.

[Dabottle]

Stats after Chapter 8: http://puu.sh/Wc0n
Going Eir Route because I have't done it in a while.

[Dabottle]

Chapter 9: http://puu.sh/X6q5
Vanessa ferried Eirika over, headed down for the Rapier, lured Amelia's Soldiers away and slowly picked off guys on the bridge. Everyone else went across. Gilliam stayed back to hold off the Pirates and I eventually made it to the boss. Like the Puush says, I missed the statboosters, but oh well. Would have liked them on Amelia. :(

EDIT: Ross does not have 18 HP. I believe it's 28. x3
POST-EDIT EDIT: Moulder's was wrong too, sorry.

EDIT 2: Post-Valni Amelia: http://puu.sh/X6PA

Chapter 10: http://puu.sh/X7Ae
Vanessa and Forde went south, with Tana behind them for the massive recruitment chain. Everybody else went right. Garcia and Gilliam then took out the southern enemies, Ross headed back for the Peg Knights and Neimi, Eirika, Amelia and Moulder took out the Brigands. Steel Bow!Neimi dodged a Ballista and two Peg Knights. <3 Vanessa could have easily ORKO'd Pablo with a Silver Lance, but I decided to just break her Slim Lance instead. Moulder is the worst Staffbot ever.

Chapter 11: <check below>
Garcia's support square went south, while everybody else went east. Pretty easy chapter. Vanessa promoted on Turn 2 and is easily my best unit.
Stats after Turn 1 of Chapter 12: http://puu.sh/X8eg

[Dabottle]

HI GUYS, UPDATE! I failed Chapter 12, so different levels up were acquired on Turn 1! That is why Moulder does not have a fabulous 8 Defence any more!
Vanessa Taxis and Forde headed north, while everybody else went around. This chapter is so boring that I can't be bothered to describe it.

Chapter 12 stats: http://puu.sh/Y3f9

YES VANESSA IS A LEVEL 3 PEGASUS KNIGHT! THIS IS FE13. YES.

[Dabottle]

Chapter 13: http://puu.sh/YG6J
Forde and Gilliam went right, Neimi, Garcia and Vanessa went up, Ross weakened an archer and Ewan killed it. Ewan then went left and killed the soldiers, with some help from Dozla, who was heading up with Amelia and Eirika to deal with the top left. Vanessa joined up with Forde and Gilliam, and Ross and Ewan eventually did too. Garcia headed for the top right, Neimi missed things with the Ballista and Moulder spammed staves AND GOT MAGIC. Cormag was recruited and Vanessa murdered Aias. Pretty easy ONCE EWAN MANAGED TO SURVIVE TURN 1. I'll probably feed him my Secret Books... He missed way too many times...

Chapter 14: http://puu.sh/YMT6
Vanessa, Forde and Garcia went with L'Arachel to recruit Rennac. Dozla and Ewan went down (and barely survived) and the rest went through the centre and around. Vanessa and Forde had Carlyle killed long before the others were finished. Not too bad. Moulder was one more staff use away from promotion for ages, but got stuck behind everybody. : p

Chapter 15: http://puu.sh/YYJM
Amelia went right, Ross and Gilliam went left, Neimi and Garcia headed down, but ended up dealing with Wyverns and stuff in the middle. Vanessa flew down with Forde and Dozla followed them. Ewan went down and left, then headed up to kill the Shamans. Rennac came along to dig up stuff, but had his job stolen by Vanessa, who grabbed the Killer Bow, Ewan, who grabbed the Wyrmslayer, and Neimi, who grabbed the Swiftsole. =/ Ephraim killed some guys at the left and Vanessa and Forde killed those reinforcements. Vanessa overkilled Valter (36 damage + crit), then got a fantastic level up. : D Amelia weakened Caellach with and Axereaver, but didn't crit once at 20% in six tries (I stole the Hoplon Guard. Kill me). This resulted in my risking Ross's life to weaken him. Everything worked out in the end, though! Vanessa ferried Rennac around, but got the Eclipse tome herself on her way down... Why did I get so lucky? Rennac then stole the Guiding Ring and I ended the chapter.

[Dabottle]

Sorry guys, Dozla's dead. I got so many good levels up that I'd rather not restart and he was completely useless. I'll miss the Hatchet and Devil Axe, though. :/

Chapter 16: http://puu.sh/YZR0
Everyone went up, except Dozla. The sword reinforcements moved first and he couldn't dodge them for long. Ross got Warped down to try to save him, but Moulder's 5 range isn't very useful. Garcia and Neimi promoted and Ross will now. Forde got an Energy Ring before the chapter.

Move Ephraim's Weapon Level one left and add a C Support with Eir and Forde. Lol.

Chapter 17:
Vanessa got danced by Tethys, recruited Syrene and double-critted Lyon the next turn. Ross got the Brave Axe on my failed attempt. :/ He failed to double this time... Nobody levelled up (Vanessa's at .99), so screw stats.

[Dabottle]

Chapter 18:
Killed eggs. Amelia and Gilliam promoted. Neimi, Garcia and Forde got many fantastic levels ups... on my failed attempt.

Chapter 19: http://puu.sh/ZXiZ A Axes*
Vanessa flew over and killed Riev. Got some exp.

OFF TO CHAPTER 20 WITH UMPROMOTED LORDS.

[Dabottle]

Chapter 20: http://puu.sh/10Lz9
KILLED GUYS. TETHYS DIED BUT SCREW TETHYS.

Those stats were after I gave away my final stat boosters.

Final Part 1:
Team rushed up, Rennac got the bad treasure, because I had space.
Ewan finally proved himself useful and hit Lyon with Eclipse. xD
Then Eirika weakened him and Garcia killed him.

Final Part 2:
My team once again rushed up.
Fomortiis spawned TWO DRACOZOMBIES between my two sets of guys, but Ross destroyed one, allowing me to get through.
Ephraim went first... and missed.
Then Vanessa did 19x2.
Garcia then did 26x2 (I think, judging by what he had before the final attack).
Neimi then had to dodge a 46 or pull off an 18% crit... AND SHE DID. (EDIT: The crit, that is. :p) NEIMI FOR MVP.
Ewan reached level 20! xP

Stats when I can be bothered opening up Creature Campaign.

[Shiningbolt]

Congratulations, Penguin! I knew you could do it! And Gilliam was clearly your MVP. Neimi was just getting jealous and tried to steal it away!

[Dabottle]

Will do the stats some time tomorrow! I forgot to mention that Garcia is so awesome that he critted Morva and dodged the Demon King. So awesome.
