The explanation for this run's hiatus can be found in the thread. Video quality is worse to attempt to cut down on filesize given this is a very long chapter. Perhaps in the final run I will do this map the courtesy of a properly sized video. Also, prior to recording, I hacked myself an extra Iron Bow and deducted the cost from my Funds. This is because Shin has to get some EXP in order for the playthrough to go to Sacae, and his Short Bow sells for far more than what the Iron Bow costs.
The main reason this map was redone was to increase Saul's EXP gain via more Barrier Staff use, and to net Lilina and Astol some extra Support points. I am going to attempt to get Saul to 22 Mag by C14x in order to facilitate a 1 Turn clear, and this means he has to gain EXP at a faster rate before he promotes. It's still theoretical, but there's no point in trying it without going all in. As for Lilina, I'm currently hypothesising (thanks to Gradivus) a 3 Turn clear of C22 which still only uses 2 Warps but allows for many more Boots uses on Lilina and Lalum. The strategy is contingent on someone besides Roy providing Lilina with some extra Crit and Hit in order to ORKO Zephiel from the side. This strategy should allow me to save Staff uses in C23, which enables the extra Warp use in 14x. There is also the possibility of a 3 turn of C21 with an extra Rescue use.
Redoing this map also allowed me to avoid the very awkward Turn 1 EP I originally had. It has now been cleaned up to be quite reliable, the only cost to the playthrough being a Vulnerary for Astol to steal. There were other small fixes throughout as well, although I kept things like Clarine having to dodge a Steel Bow Archer because there was no other way to feed that kill to Roy and Sue. I also didn't heal Shanna on Turn 5 (which would eliminate her chance of death) so that Clarine would still have someone to heal on the 13th turn.
Chapters 8x and 9 will also require some slight optimisations in the future, hopefully I can get through those quickly.
