I am Walhart on Serenesforest. This is a hack / playthrough of FE9 Fire Emblem Path of Radiance in which all characters have 0% growths and only recruited enemy generic characters can be used. It is intended to provide a challenge akin to FE13 Fire Emblem Awakening's Lunatic + mode.

Chapter 8: "Tanking like it's 1942" aka "Oswin soloes FE9" aka "Is this a joke?"

The third title says it all. This chapter was a joke. Oswin could tank a whole wave of cavs for only 1 damage per turn. The only difficulty (using the word difficulty loosely) was defending the east and west openings with only one healer. Buying a few vulneraries from the base shop solved that problem.

This chapter was really easy and quite monotonous, so the video is very quick. Oswin tried to kill the boss, but couldn't get to him in time. I suppose I could have tried baiting him earlier so Joe could finish him with a hammer, but I didn't feel like redoing everything just for a Pure Water. I did manage to snag the red gem though.
The AI wasn't too terrible in this chapter. I mean, they could've moved their knight out of the east gap and moved someone else in plus a mage, but that wouldn't have made too much of a difference.
As for characters, Oswin was invincible to everyone but the boss. I reckon it'll be that way for the next few chapters, at least until armor slaying weapons start popping up. Whryse saved a few vulneraries here but wasn't nearly as important as last chapter. Interestingly, NotBoyd made rescuing and dropping Whryse out of harm's way possible, and Jack Sparrow got the bench here instead. I never expected to see NotBoyd come back this late into the game. Joe held his own for the few turns he blocked the east gap, and Rutger covered pretty well while Oswin went gallivanting of to try to kill the red gem priest and then the boss.
Next chapter won't be this easy, but it should still be pretty trivial. The hardest part, as usual, is going to be getting to the village in time. This is where the OGCAR+Oswin combo might come in handy,
