Maelstrom

Well, it would probably be easier to save and upload some clips. Here's one of pvp. Got kinda lucky with this game. Got some good teammates who saved me at least twice. It started off against 2 people and 2 bots but those bot slots got filled, and towards the end one guy rage quit. I don't really count the bot kills towards anything, but I did have some decent 1v1s and 1v2's. Like that first kill, it was 1v2 for a bit and I killed the human player first, not the bot. remember When surrounded: Keep Calm and chive on defend until you get revenge built up. My feats: 1- gain health and stamina when killing soldiers. It always helps to do area attacks to gain health and not lose too much stamina at the same time. Helps build renown and push middle points. 2- gain high damage reduction for a short time after parrying attacks. This clip didn't show it off much, but I'm pretty decent at parries and making this guy tankier is always good. 3- protected revive and grants allies health. this what happened when one guy tried to stop me from reviving but I tanked it like a champ and still revived that guy. No idea what the grants allies health thing is though. When you revive someone they revive at full health. I dunno if it heals nearby alive allies or if it gives the revived person extra health. just the protected revive pretty useful if you ask me. I'll have to play test in a custom match or something to figure it out. 4- Catapult- does massive damage over an area. renown level 4 is hard to get in a match and when I do get it, I usually don't notice. strictly better than the medium damage over an area that it the only other option I have unlocked atm.

Yeah, but with skill inheritance, you're gonna wanna level up duplicate heroes so you can give their skills to someone else. Also, I checked and found that 5* characters only give 1000 feathers if you send them home. That's only half of what it takes to make a 3* into a 4*, and obviously 1/20 what you need to go 5*. I knew I should have kept my second 4* Camilla...

Banned for being a fictional flying food. dat consonance tho

Happy birthday, varmint! You survived another year in the land of deadly things. Good job. inb4ccccombobreaker

At some point you're gonna have to stop and specifically level up olivia, cuz once you get dance, she's the pebble that sends the boulder down the hill twice, and doesn't get exp from dancing so she's gonna fall behind pretty fast.

Idk, both Eliwood and Roy have performed very poorly for me. I hadn't realized that the special weapons thing was under the quest and missions things. So all I did was run through and get the orb earning ones done. I should probably try for the great badges one. Also, I pulled a 5* Elise. rather disappointed.

Idk if @SHIA is caught up, but yeah, I'm with godot on this one. even if it took forever for him to catch up.

Just for you, I dug back to 6 years ago... @Noivy's evil twin.

you mean an updated one?

@HongaarseBeer97Nah, I only stream randomly.

Banned for reminding me that the Iron Giant is a thing.

So, even Imagine Dragons has something new.

I could stream some of the campaign if you think it would help.

Even if I don't have all my favorites, I've still gotten quite a few of 'em. Gameplay-wise, it's definitely deceptively simple. You really gotta check weapons and skills on enemies in late game stuff.

I don't wanna spoil too much but... first chapter starts off with the knights. You remember the woman speaking in the intro cutscene and how she has some guy shoot the viking with the arrow to make them keep fighting right when they looked like they were gonna call a truce? That's Apollyon. You start off as a warden, participating in part of her rise to power and ideology as she fights other lords and pushes back the vikings. That's chapter 1. Chapter two is where you play a viking as they rise up after those immediate events (which is where I am and about to start). Third chapter is the samurai faction, but I don't know much about that. But I can guess at where the story's going. Obviously, you get to play as different characters that factions during those storylines. With the knights, I actually played only 3 of the units, but one of 'em was the new one and the one I didn't play was the one I mained during the beta, so I don't really feel cheated. If there are any more chapters after those 3, I am not able to see 'em yet. It's kind of annoying in that there's a second tutorial that pretty much is the same as the tutorial it makes you play when you first start the game. Other than that, it's pretty much what you'd expect. Dashing in and taking over zones, killing minion soldiers, and attacking captains and bosses. There's been one sort of escort mission, and there are a couple of places where you get to use the drop down to ambush an enemy below you. There's been an area where you were fighting on thin ice and you either had to use mobility or make it a part of your strategy. So there is some variety in location and stuff. They also have hidden things to find/collect. Each level has some groups of barrels or boxes for you to break to find a particular item (an emblem or whatever I guess) and there are different things you can look at and activate to hear Apollyon give backstory and history, that are also tracked unlockable things. It's just rather simple stuff, but not all of 'em are obvious to find. Leveling up in campaign and getting perks or things to activate is much faster than in multiplayer and carries across all the units you play as, so that helps the pacing along and gives you useful powers. Also, the warden, the beginning character your play as for the knights has Akihiko's voice, and it kind suits his characterization perfectly.

1. Huh? 2. takes some getting used to, but as an attack and defense system goes, way better than any souls game.

Excuse you, Effie is discount Kjelle. For me, Cherche was just kinda there in the background, cuz Virion was doing his best to hog the limelight. Well, until you get some supports in and hear about her and Minerva. Gregor was probably one of my favorite units, even though the game practically ships him with Nowie at the beginning for the dichotomy of appearances and age. If you look at his supports, they use his age/experience to make him the down to earth guy who helps the others learn the things they need to learn- with an endearing accent and way of speaking. Yeah... please, not cynthia. she's just... no. Hmm, never found a use for Libra, especially since I got him way after turning Gregor into an axe unit to take advantage of his str and skill as well as already using Vaike. Speaking of Vaike, he's one of those silly dudebrowannaberival guys I don't find Severa interesting, but then I think her being yandere AF is overrated and overdone. I get yanderes are all over the place cuz it adds in some variety and silly situations, but I get sick of it quick. Now that you mention Brady, I'd say he's a sort of prototype for Benny. I can see why Sheep likes him.

I ended up buying it because I remembered a $30 gift card I got a while back and because somebody reminded me it was supposed to have a story campaign. Speaking of which, I'm not that far into the campaign cuz I got pulled away by an invite to multiplayer, but I really enjoyed what I played so far and have been interested by the story. Also of some note, the full game has a 4th warrior for each faction that wasn't in the beta. One those is a heavyset dude for the samurai and he seems to be immune to to getting knocked down or being picked up. Pretty sure I saw one solo 4 bots, 3 at the same time.

It's not nostalgia. You're just asking for the same old things.

You sure about that? The description says it only increases your unit's damage if it already had triangle advantage and reduces your damage to the enemy unit if at a disadvantage. It shouldn't affect defenses at all and just see their foe's 10% attack reduction for attacking at a disadvantage. It's just the % change is bigger at higher levels and stats.
