Fire Emblem Path of Radiance Hard Mode: [Pre-Challenge] Chapter 5
4Up to this point my aim was to clear the maps as fast as possible while grabbing all the items. This map (as well as the next few) make this goal impossible however, for different reasons.
Chapter 6 is the first defence map and killing the boss (at least on Hard Mode) does NOT end the map right there. We should survive all six turns, which actually isn't all that easy if you watched the previous two videos and saw how little action the characters got compared to Titania who beat up everybody on the map.
Luckily, Gatrie and Shinon are still here with us, and those two are more than capable of taking a LOT of punishment and give even more back.
Ike, Oscar and Boyd, on the other hand, didn't get much action in the first four chapters. This isn't such a big problem as we aren't interested in training them for the future chapters, but still their performance is pretty poor. It's unlikely that they'll be doubling the enemies here unless the enemies are weighed down by Steel equipment (Lances and bows mainly).
Which brings me to my next point - physical attack stat replaces CON in this game, meaning one's attack speed depends on the difference between the weight of the equipped weapon and one's attack. Since enemy attack stats are low at this point, they sometimes have 0 attack speed when they're weighed down by steel equipment, and are therefore easily doubled by anyone in the party.
The same will occur to Boyd if he tries to equip a Steel Axe at this point.
We should be extra careful in this chapter, avoiding putting Rhys and Soren into the range of more than one enemy and keeping everyone healthy. Titania should clean the south of the map with an Iron Axe as usual and get the boss kill.
Gatrie should watch out for the Hammer-wielding Fighter in the west of the map. I have him gain a level at the end of the chapter, and the attack increase he gets allows him to wield a Steel Lance without losing any attack speed! This will be very useful in chapter 7.
