Fire Emblem Series!

[Grim Heaper]

Both Lunatic and by extension Lunatic+ are way too hardcore for me. What do Vantage+, Hawkeye and Luna+ do? I have some guesses but I'd like to know for sure.

Vantage+: Always attack first when the enemy attacks
Hawkeye: Guaranteed hit
Luna+: All attacks have a Luna effect.

Other Lunatic+ skills include:
Pavise+: Halves damages from swords, lances, axes and beastones
Aegis+: Halves damages from bows, tomes and dragonstones

[ParaChomp]

I want someone to make a Let's Play of Lunatic+ on Classic. Your torture (or awesomeness) shall be our entertainment.

[Grim Heaper]

The only thing I see working in Lunatic+ (And I doubt it will even work): HUDDLE IN THE CORNER!

And there are enemies in Lunatic+ that can actually get some of these like Luna+ and Hawkeye?

Jeeeeeeeeeesus, it's like all those gold and EXP DLC's are actually the "make Lunatic+ playable" DLCs.

That is if you survive past chapter 4 without losing units.

Every standard enemy(not sure about bosses), gets two of these insane skills, and Pass is apparently included. I bet the DLC would also include the skills, but it's not like they're easily playable when the Outrealm gate appears.

Vantage+ means the enemy will always attack first, even if you engage them.
Hawkeye means their attacks will never miss.
Luna+ means that every attack will have a Luna effect.

So basically, you're guaranteed to eat at least one attack that will never miss and ignore half your defense/resistance for every single clash.

Edit: Wow I'm late, I guess I shouldn't have left this tab open and then responded to it after coming back from afking. Ahaha... *Fails*

That surprisingly works more often than it would seem. You could always do it the old-fashioned way and pray to the gods.

Lunatic+, I assume you receive it by clearing the game on Lunatic. Am I not correct?

Whoops, should have answered that earlier, but yes. However, if you beat Lunatic on Casual, you apparently only unlock Lunatic+ on Casual.

[Grim Heaper]

...perhaps we should tackle Lunatic + on casual first, no?

[ParaChomp]

So you can't play Lunatic+ on Classic (not that you would want to) unless you beat Lunatic on Classic?

It's as if you posted before I added in the message in the brackets.

[gustavo 14]

That's how I'm understanding it, yes. Though I suppose if I beat Lunatic on Classic, I should try Lunatic+ on Classic(without deaths, naturally). I'd say to each their own, but I agree that Lunatic+ on Casual is much more sane. Of course, "Lunatic+" doesn't scream sanity to begin with. I'm definitely not planning to start a file soon (I want to start filling the support library), though I won't be as hardcore as some of the other players (no DLC abuse, Renown awards, etc.). Skirmishes are out of the question though, since I couldn't do even one on Lunatic, and Spotpass teams all grant 1 EXP per kill.

Hawkeye prevents the wielder from missing, unfortunately it's only available to enemy units.

Here's a quip I thought of, wouldn't it have been cool if beating the game gave us another story line akin to FE7?

We start the game from Lucina's time-point and work from there.

Chapter Prolouge would be in the future fighting some Risen and the next few chapters would be her and the other children units traveling to Naga, then some time travel and bam! We continue with a similar story from Lucina's view. Including a few extra chapters explaining how she met Panne and what she was doing in the chapters we don't see her. Her Mother would be whoever was married to Chrom in the last Chrom Story-mode file.

That would be interesting to see, even more content!

As for the Panne thing, being from the future, she probably knew about her and her connection to her father and the rest of the Ylisse army.

I think that there are supposed to be some DLC chapters involving the future kids' timeline, but don't quote me on this.

Also, Panne was supposedly tipped off by Henry about the Exalt's assassination. At least, this is what Panne and Henry's support states.

    Spoiler:- future DLC :

Show Spoiler

 

Yes, the Future of Despair xenologues which have the children characters in dire situations and the Morgans are the bosses I believe
 

Really? Lemme see...*starts pairing Henry and Panne*

So, after finally beating Chapter 11 just now and seeing Chrom and Sumia wed...I actually have an unrelated question. Is there any merit to using Olivia? I know Dancers in previous games were more a novelty of sorts, but it seems she has some promise now that she starts at level 1 and has a sword to wield, at least.

[Hydrohs]

That's correct. Pass was a huge shock to see in the mix. I don't even want to imagine what it will be like when Aegis+ and Pavise+ get into the mix. Though I am curious how later bosses will address two "2 insane skills for every enemy" thing. Some late-game bosses already had 5 skills on Lunatic, so if they replace some skills to buff them even more...yeah...



All the "plus" skills have a 100% activation rate, and Hawkeye is basically Hit Rate +infinity, denoted by an infinity sign on the skill.

Vantage+: Always attack first when the enemy attacks
Hawkeye: Guaranteed hit
Luna+: All attacks have a Luna effect.

Other Lunatic+ skills include:
Pavise+: Halves damages from swords, lances, axes and beastones
Aegis+: Halves damages from bows, tomes and dragonstones

Hawkeye means their attacks will never miss.

Yeeeaaahhh... Never doing that.

And there are enemies in Lunatic+ that can actually get some of these like Luna+ and Hawkeye?

Jeeeeeeeeeesus, it's like all those gold and EXP DLC's are actually the "make Lunatic+ playable" DLCs.

I'm pretty sure its only enemies that get the skills.

Dancers are awesome, it's like having a free Galeforcer that can Galeforce. Not to mention that with reclassing Olivia becomes a good fighter as well. So you can go kill someone, and then have her dance for someone.

Yeah, you definitely want to use Olivia, if for no other reason than to reclass her as a Dark Flier so she can pass Galeforce onto Inigo when she marries. She's not a bad unit in her own right, but passing Galeforce is always kind of a big deal.
