I put some extra hours in at the Fire Emblem content factory this week, and that led to a big breakthrough: a new, reasonably consistent turn-by-turn strategy for Chapter 1 on Lunatic+ difficulty in Fire Emblem Awakening.
One of my long-term projects has been to develop a strategy for Lunatic+ that satisfies a few special goals:
- Don't pour all the resources into Robin. I want something that can support the deployment and training of a full army.
- Don't use the full water trick in the Prologue. It's really annoying to do, and it's extremely frustrating when Robin gets destroyed by a crit from an Elthunder Mage 50 turns in. This makes the first point more necessary, since I'm not going to get Robin to level 8+ in the prologue.
- Allow Asset/Flaw combinations that aren't strictly optimal for clearing Lunatic+ (for which the best is probably +Spd/-Skl) but are better for post-game optimization, in case you want to take your L+ clear file into No-DLC/No-Rally Apotheosis or something.
For additional resources on Lunatic+, check out the methods developed by Interceptor (tinyurl.com/interceptor2Lplus), @kuroittv5015 (no-contest-creations.com/fire-emblem-awakening-resetless-lunatic-guide ), and @oEllery.
Special thanks to muhmuhten for developing a custom code patch for me that produces (approximately) fixed growths, but cut down by 20%. That means that, for example, a 60% growth rate gets treated as 0.48 and does not provide a stat point when leveling from 1 to 2, but does provide a point on the next level because 0.96 rounds up.
