Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia discussion.

Also, I've found something to complain about: The desert section in general.

- These maps are just infuriating. Traveling through desert is painfully slow and just made for very slow going battles.

-Witches are just unfair. It seems they can teleport where ever and whenever they feel like and pick on the lowest resistant, slowest units, and RES rarely ever increases, due to the percent being in the 5% area or lower for units. I've had a unit in the back just get killed because of witches.

-Cantors show their worst in the Grieth battle, as well as sniper/achanist combos and Leon just.. sucking. I spent almost an hour, trying to kill the snipers with him, while fighting off an endless army of skeletons. It was just a bad mix, with Cantors just needlessly dragging the map.


And.. that's it, my rant. Beware the desert section, and the Sonya battle is just way too hard. Cursed team of witches...

Just finished the Grieth fight, and I managed to pull it off just fine. I managed to get through the corridor part by luring the sniper out and pelting him with magic (and a pegasus lance once he got weak enough), and then making sure everyone in range of the arcanist would be able to survive a turn. Genny's Physic is the usual MVP...it covers her entire range of magic (17 for me), and so I was able to keep everyone alive as I advanced through.

Overall though, I find that I take more risks in this game than previous titles due to the turnwheel feature, so I make bold moves when I normally would play it safe. Pretty nice that I can just go back a turn and replan my strategy, rather having to replay half the stage to get there again.

Question for anyone: Who are your MVPs so far?

Mine are Alm, Cliff (cavalier), Tobin (archer), and Clair on one side, and Celica, Leon, Boey, Mae, Genny, and Valdbar on the other side. My Celica team has been blessed with pretty greath growths, at least relative to the typical growth rates for this game, while I feel Team Alm might have problems later. Silque, Luthier, and Faye (mage) are nowhere near as useful to me on that side as Genny and my Mage Gods on the other.
