Topic: Fire Emblem Warriors

@Grumblevolcano Wait...there were levels that forced you to use that Baton? I mean, I never got too far in HW's maps, but...that's just cruel.

Regarding Shadow Dragon's map's, there not bad. Although, I do have Level 105 Robin, Xander, Ryouma, and Azura, so...might just be me. I will say that I am finding some missions to be particularly frustrating compared to older ones.

It's really not that bad. I didn't have problems beating levels that required unpopular weapons.

I think the right way to play any of these games is to proceed by selecting missions you actually wanna play from time to time. People tend to get burned by doing many missions they find boring to get the character/gear they want as fast as possibe. Sure, it's great to get what you want but by the time you get it chances are you are tired of the game and you won't enjoy it as much as you would ususally do if you actually focus on having a good time. Of course it's nice to have objectives to get whatever you want faster, but I recommend to throw the type of missions you like the most between the boring ones and to experiment with characters whenever you feel tired of the repetition, specially if it's a completely different character to the one you've been playing.

I have the game a bit abandoned because I have been playing Injustice 2 almost nonstop since friday. I mean it, I haven't been so obsessed with a game in so much time to the point of just sleeping a couple hours because I lose the notion of the time that has passed. The amount of single player content is simply great and for a DC fan like myself (not to mention a TMNT fan too with the latest content) it's simply too much stimulation

Anyway, I got off topic... send help

2/3 Shadow Dragon maps completed!
Norda Market is last for me. I’ve been really wanting the new costumes and weapons so I’ve put in a lot of time recently. For those wanting one of the specific outfits, I’ll post which history map to beat to obtain it.

Marth’s Bridegroom suit Beat the Norda Market map (Presumably since it’s the last one for me)
Caeda’s Bridal dress Beat the Devil Mountain map
Tiki’s Vibrant Dress Beat the Princess Minerva map
Lyn’s Swordmaster outfit Get an S tank on a battle in Norda Market

@Beedrill4Smash Every non-DLC character and weapon had some forced adventure map stages in the Wii U version (DLC maps didn't force DLC characters and weapons because Japan could buy adventure maps separately from characters). That became every character and weapon with the 3DS version (the packs were the only way to buy the 3DS DLC worldwide) though in some cases the 3DS version would let you use a 2nd or 3rd character alongside the forced character/weapon.

I have no doubt that the Switch version will be rebalanced to take into account the 3DS DLC maps being on the Switch cart (the 3DS version was rebalanced to take into account the Wii U DLC being on the 3DS cart).

Wait, what's wrong with Zelda's Baton, I'd rather use that than the Fire Rod or play as Wizzro or Agatha; I love the Baton, especially for the "All Attacks are Devastating" maps, the Strong attack is basically a wide-ranging shotgun blast.

And is Velezark actually resistant/immune to the Wyrmslayer effect? Cause Lucina's Falchion didn't seem like it was helping all that much when I used her to get Sol Katti for Lyn.

Got Female Robin. The new challenges that popped up afterwards really spiked in lvl, so I'm going to move on to the next map for now.

Yeah those are most definitely meant to be late game missions to make you return to the maps.

@SilverEdge92 It seems I've mistaken the dominion rod for the baton, but then again, I never cared for Zelda in general. For me she was always either too slow or too weak, which I have a feeling that might just be me or some bad luck.

Completed the Fates themed map (not the DLC ones) and got Male Corrin. Only 2 more until I get Lyn!

The only problem is the next map is Shadow Dragon centric, and I haven't used those characters at all, lol. Luckily, I did use a Master Seal on Tiki long ago (I wanted to see if she'd turn into her adult form from Awakening), so I have at least one viable character to use (provided I level her), and I think I have enough that I can use one on Marth.

I kinda skipped that one to go for Lyn on the 3DS. Of course, I went back and played it afterwards.

My characters had no problems beating the needed levels (they go up to level 40-something), and almost all the full missions had room for a full team of 8. So if you want to train your shadow dragon characters, you could go play on Lyn's map with your best characters and have them tag along as partners.

There's also a ton of master seals on Lyn's map. All are easy to get.

I decided to unlock Celica before Lyn... It was an interesting experience.

I really hate the shadow elimination maps.

Just need to unlock Anna, and I'll have all the non-DLC characters. I'll most likely pick up the season pass right before the Awakening pack hits.

They can get rough. Lyn's map is full of them.

You basically need to keep a character in the base all the time while the others go hunt the mages.

What are people's views on the 'Limited Edition'? Are the CDs and cards worthy of the additional expenditure?

@gcunit I got the Limited edition and I love it, the cards are big and really nice quality, and the CD has 3 disks and a ton of music on them. And I think it was like 20 bucks more or something like that so in my opinion it was worth it.

@Nekoo77 Is the music classics from across the FE series, or is it just soundtrack from this warriors game (if that's different music, I've no idea)?

And do you get 3 full CDs i.e. 60-80 minutes on each?

This game has mostly remixes of themes from the featured games, I believe. (At least I recognize several of them from Heroes and Fates).

@gcunit There is 60ish songs in total, and they are remixes of stuff from the FE games like Meowpheel said. they sound pretty good IMO

I haven't had to play a Shadow Elimination map yet (as far as I know), but regarding keeping someone at base at all times, it's something I already do.

I tend to suck at not letting big enemies sneak into my main base (it's one reason I've never been able to beat the Samurai Warriors games I've played) while I'm away doing my thing, so it's a Godsend being able to tell someone to stay put, that way I can take care of the intruder as soon as they arrive (usually it's Sakura, so I can heal the Fort Captain or Allied Commander as well, if need be). Heck, I also like the fact that it wasn't even an issue in the main quest (where you just had to keep an eye on your Lords' health), and is only necessary in the side maps.

I hope Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition has similar QOL features (really, being able to order your heroes around fits the Warriors mold so well).

Hyrule Warriors Legends already had the order system.

It's obviously more complex in this one, but then again, in that one you can't really heal or form teams, so it's pretty much the same.
