FE6 Hard Mode Ranked Run - Chapter 24

My reason for showing off the items in my convoy at the beginning of the chapter is to prove my Funds rank is over 150k, which was my personal goal for this run. According to my calculations, the items in my convoy specifically are worth a total of 129,625 . Add to that the amount of gold I have and I have 152310, which exceeds the requirement - and this is to say nothing of all the items not in my convoy in this video. This chapter was played 'blind' because I didn't see it necessary to route what amounts to "hit legendary weapon button", which explains the occasional suboptimal moves with Lalum/Fae etc. Very amused to break Fae's divinestone at the time I cap her, though. Compared to averages, Fae has: 3.7 HP 0.1 Str 1.15 Skill 1.65 Speed 0 Luck 1.7 Def 2.5 Res Fae stats, who really cares I showed off all units at the beginning of the video except the ones I bring to this chapter (which I'll show off next time). Here are the final comparison stats of every unit that is promoted, gained at least one level, and did not come to this chapter: Marcus has: 0.8 HP 0.5 Str 0.6 Skill 0.5 Speed 0.6 Luck 0.3 Def 0.4 Res He only gained 2 levels lol Zelot has: 0.25 HP 0.25 Str 0.2 Skill 0.2 Speed 0.15 Luck 0.7 Def 0.15 Res He only gained 1 level lol Lance has: 1 HP 1 Str 2.75 Skill 0.5 Speed 0.75 Luck 1 Def 6.25 Res (????) Nice Res bless, I guess. Alan has: 2.75 HP 0.25 Str 1 Skill 2.75 Speed 5 Luck 0.75 Def 1.5 Res I like the slightly higher Speed stat. Cecilia has: 0.2 HP 0.3 Mag 0.1 Skill 0.5 Speed 0.5 Luck 0.4 Def 0.5 Res She gained 2 levels lol Hugh has: 0.25 HP 1.3 Mag 2.3 Skill 1.95 Speed 1.25 Luck 2.2 Def 1.35 Res Pretty average. Extra healing is nice though. Melady has: 0.5 HP 0 Str 0 Skill 0 Speed 1.5 Luck 0.4 Def 0.1 Res Hard to tell if she was blessed because three stats are capped lol Zeiss has: 1 HP 1 Str 1 Skill 1 Speed 0 Luck 3 Def 0 Res I guess screwed overall? Not that matters, he's still pretty good. --- Chapter 24 of FE6 Hard Mode Ranks [This part of the description excised to make space for chapter-specific discussion. Refer back to previous videos to see the rest of this section.] --- The strategies and unit deployment, while at times inspired by those of the ranked runner Melth - https://lparchive.org/Fire-Emblem-Bin... - are ultimately of my own creation. These were recorded on mGBA and should be replicable on mGBA. The filter being used is mGBA's OpenGL filter, which desaturates and darkens the colors to something a little less eye-searing. Ranking requirements for this chapter: Turns: 25 (I took 20 turns, so I'm -47 total) EXP: 49100 (total) Funds: 144000 (total) Power: 991 (represents the combined total of all recruited units' levels; promoted units are their level + 20) A Ranked Run is a run of Fire Emblem where you attempt to have 5 stars in every rank by the end of the game. Ranks can be viewed with the "Augury" option before a chapter (first available somewhere around ch11). Information about what is needed to achieve each rank can be found at https://serenesforest.net/binding-bla.... I also have several sub-goals: Finish the game with more than 150k in funds (this is what the funds ranking is supposed to be but for the bug mentioned in the Serenes Forest link). Get the best ending (fight Iduun & use the Binding Blade to finish her). Get a Roy/Lilina A support for the additional cutscene at the end. Recruit all characters. Recruit Cath in chapter 12. Recruit Hugh for full value. Visit every village, get every chest, and also visit every house even though they're useless. Steal all items worth a Lockpick or more, and steal as much else as is feasible. Raise all unpromoted units to (at least) level 20. Never use the Arena. Go to the A route on the Western Isles, the route that gets you Echidna and Lalum. Go to Ilia. (I wanted to do Sacae for the flex, but I'm not sure that's compatible with the "get all units to 20" rule without more RNG manipulation than I want to bother with.) I'm also going to try to get at least one S rank user of every weapon type, but may have to settle for all but Light.
