Sadly, not deathless. Deathless is definitely possible, but this was pretty lucky at times and I've already put enough time into this run. i think it'll be a painful grind to achieve deathless. I also had to step away from the game for a bit so there's a big section of nothing happening (sorry).

Deployed Goldmary because Brave Assist is quite good and often saves actions on cleaning up enemies.

I don't remember who received what for the stat boosters, but from memory (I'll check this eventually but you can too because fixed growths):

Ivy - 3x Spirit Dust, 1x Seraph Robe, 1x Talisman, 3x Speedwing, 3x Goddess Icons
Timerra - 1x Secret Book, 2x Dracoshield
Kagetsu - 3x Energy Drop
Merrin - 1x Seraph Robe, 1x Talisman
Ctrinne - 2x Secret Book (Thoron is strong but inaccurate)

Seadall received the first Boots and Ivy received the second. I didn't use a Seraph Robe, and the second Boots were given to Ivy for Ch26 (so they appear in the convoy at the end).

This run was really fun until Ch21. It might be the most fun I've had playing the game up to that point.

Ch23 is miserable and also my least favorite map in the game.

Ch24 is my favorite map and it was really fun to solve.

Ch25 is a long but easy map. Pretty disappointing.

Ch26's second phase is pain. I think it's possible to defeat the 4th dark emblem 1-2 turns after the 3rd dark emblem dies and then finish Sombron. Would require better planning with warps.

I farmed 50k gold with Anna in Ch22. Seadall was level capped and I was not staff farming, so nobody was grinding experience from it. Anna seems to be a required unit because there's not enough gold in the run if you discard all of the update and expansion bonuses. I think the gold farm is unnecessary if you use the 3k and 30k gold from update and expansion bonuses.

The third skirmish on the map was on Florra Port (Ch17) and I don't think it's possible with this team. I know save scumming skirmishes is possible, but that feels questionable. Save scumming to get Florra Mill Town would have given so much free exp for Ch26.

Retrospective:

- I wasted a lot of exp on Fogado. I eventually reverted to an earlier save, but I didn't want to redo so many chapters. Fogado seems to be a practical downgrade to Anna, a unit that already has some questionable hit rates vs late game fliers.

- Alcryst was under leveled (promoted a bit late). I think he's really good in this run if leveled appropriately. Hit focus support, supports Ivy and Citrinne.

- Saphir might be good in place of Goldmary for the late game. She can cover axes against Triangle Adept heroes, she has the Bld to use them, Merciless and bows are always great.

- Unsure about Jean. He's basically a slightly faster Citrinne, but he's locked to B tomes and his support options are lacking. Probably slightly better than Pandreo for the late game due to the Mag and Res, but his Spd is definitely lacking.

- Not sure about Veyle. Decent stats overall, but low Bld and doesn't really excel at anything.

- Rosado might have potential but probably not worth deploying.

- I wasted too many maps not building support due to the unit swapping.

- Skipping Ch13 Rescue was a mistake and would have simplified parts of the run.
