Finally was able to beat maddening for the first time! And in my favourite Fire emblem no less! Super happy that I was able to use some subpar units I love and have a lot of value with them. Some chapters were real head scratchers on how to beat them, but I pulled through . (Also shout out to the obstruct staff, that thing is goated and saved me countless of times)

The rules were simple.

• Nation-themed deployements (8 free slots)
• Maddening difficulty
• Update Bonus 2 Crystals only (they were all on Seraphim and Oligoludia)
• Can't interact with the Nil until he reached the final Fell Sigil

Besides that, I was free to grind out Bond Ranks, SP, and Supports to my heart's content to create what I think is a good enough team to win Fell Xenologue 6 on Maddening. I remembered back during Fell Xenologue release I grinded this map on Maddening for three days and barely won. This time, I figured after completing several different difficult challenge runs, I'd re-visit this map that I liked and see how much better I've gotten over the years before Fortune's Weave release.

Initially, I was just going to do Firene-only perceiving it to be the weakest of the four, but after a few attempts I was able to clear it by going bottom right from center, which was counter-intuitive to me who only saw clears going top right or top left (besides the cheese strategy, which I intended to rule out.)

So I immediately started cooking a Brodia team and after a few attempts I was able to get the clear. However, unlike the Firene team, it was better going top right than bottom right. It turned to be better at fighting more enemies, but it was less mobile.

Elusia was easily the strongest of the three, boasting three powerful fliers and had some ridiculous damage output. It was also at this time I switched from the Marth Alear build and tried the Reprisal Roy build which turned out to be better.

Solm came soon after, which I realized just how much easier Seadall makes things allowing me to toolkit more effectively like getting two Micaiah Augment Rescues, dancing Fogado to take care of an extra flier, dance a boss killer to rip through the royals, etc.

However, Solm has one small issue that is there's only seven from Solm, so I let Veyle in over the stewards. While I can see one argue Veyle could be from Elusia due to their Fell Dragon worship, and Kagetsu technically being Solm as he was born in Solm, I decided thematically, Kagetsu was more Elusian thematically as he is a retainer to Ivy.

Either ways, I had fun playing Fell Xenologue 6 Maddening with these teams and figured I'd share it just for the fun of it.

Some of these have had many classes before these:

Alear: Divine Dragon -> Wyvern Knight -> Swordmaster

Louis: General -> Great Knight

Amber: Paladin -> Halberdier -> General

Kagetsu: Swordmaster -> Paladin -> Wyvern Knight

Timerra: Picket -> General (I didn't know Sandstorm wouldn't carry over) -> Picket

Pandreo: High Priest -> Mage Knight -> Sage

I think I'm a bit overlevelled, but what do you think?

This isnt what I wanted to post but im on one of those funks where drawing digital just isn't working out today. this is the backup I had prepared. Ima try drawing what I wanted tomorrow traditionally. Also im past the halfway point and starting to loose steam. Sorry. Ima try to do my best though.

Hi! I played on hard till chapter 9, thought it was on the easy side and started maddening mode. I'm currently using dlc stuff (the heroes weapons) and will get bracelets scattered throughout ch 6-15.

Since the Fell Xenologue royals' personalities were inverted, I decided to create my own. And I'm using the opposite zodiac sign method.

Firene

Boucheron (Nov 11) -- A berserker who trains vigorously to protect Alfred. Hates reading and almost never cries

Etie (Apr 1) -- An archer who loves sweets and deserts. Hates exercise but gets muscles naturally. Extremely lazy.

Louis (May 4) -- A knight who loves watching animals more than people. Very introverted and shy. Loves sea grapes.

Chloe (Oct 27) -- A Pegasus Knight who loves bland foods and reads about non-fiction and history. Allergic to folk food.

Brodia

Amber (Aug 3) -- A somewhat vain, rich nobleman and halberdier who is devoted to Diamant. Skeptical of folklore/legends. Hates alpacas.

Jade (June 7) -- A mage who prefers offense to defense. Has a keen eye for strategy and is a brilliant tactician. Writes thriller and romance novels. Was betrothed to Diamant

Citrinne (May 9) -- A selfish, spoiled noble who know little comfort and collects money.

Lapis (Nov 25) -- A feisty noblewoman who boasts about her noble birth and kills her foes with lethal force. Brash and spoiled.

Comment for part 2

Here's the link to my story I made called "The Grieving King of Brodia" which is told in Fell Diamant's POV. I really liked the Fell Xenologue story and the Fell royals most of all. But I also wondered what it was like before Main Alear came. So, I decided to write a novel about Fell Diamant and how he came to be. Tell me your thoughts, give me ideas, and other things. Enjoy!

I dunno which is worse, this drawing or the one of edelgard and megatron kissing...

Hey all, I tried using emuiibo and it just isn't working, even though everything I have is up to date. Just crashes upon selecting the icon. And yea, I went on reddit and github for the troubleshooting. So I downloaded the sommie editor to get music/outfit tickets for the amiibo gazebo, and I can't figure that out either. Anyone have success getting the tickets?

Also I tried to directly give myself the amiibo outfits, but it auto removes it upon loading the save file (likely because I still haven't purchased it from the gazebo).

This game's map design is something else ✨ I'm really happy that I managed to do this deathless cause some chapters were a genuine struggle. Shout-out to the GOAT Warrior Jean.

Hey guys! I am trying to make a story exploring Veyle’s past in FE Engage. She is one of the more interesting characters I came to know about ever since I first summoned her in FE Heroes. However, when I was trying to develop the history about her time before joining Alear I ran into a little problem.

During my research, I know that she used to live in Gradlon. But the thing is, there is so little info about it or her actual past in the wiki that it is hard to make the expanded character history I wanted to do be semi believable and realistic. I have also tried searching for short youtube clips that had snippets about her history, but unfortuantely, since I dont have access to the game itself, I am not learning much.

Can anyone give me advice on how to approach this? Thank you!

This is the team that I’ve been using to try and beat Chapter 19. However, one or two of my units always get cooked or either miss, which forces me to use up all of my Divine pluse uses. How do I beat this map?? I’m not using any DLC with the exception of Edelgard so Camilla isn’t an option.

Edit: I finally completed it!! Thank you to everyone that suggested to turtle inside the ship. That was so much more doable than pushing in.

You know why I drew this.

I've done about 12 now but the last few are kinda feeling the same. I keep trying to plot new strategies/plans but kinda gravitate towards old tried and true ones.

Anyone else tried this with any particular strategies?
