Use some of those KILLER WEAPONS I bought last chapter and see if that boosts the usefulness of everyone who isn't named 'Hector' or 'Priscilla' Rebecca, Dart, and Eliwood.

...Yes, it did take me this long to remember the massive shopping spree upon which I embarked on Dragon's Gate. -____-;;

...I'm actually really enjoying HHM. I feel like putting this amount of mental effort into such a visual game is rebooting a brain that's been underwater for much too long. :D I'm planning things out ahead of time, working out strategies, and making contingency plans if those fail... BASIC LIFE SKILLS Through Videogames! The newest therapy trend!

Keep in mind that I restart every single time someone dies... except for Merlinus.

Character	Battles	Wins	Losses
Hector	230	81	1 [First chapter, I bet]
Eliwood	96	29	3
Lyn	46	18	6
Rebecca	65	28	7 [ALMOST ALL ON NEW RESOLVE]
Dart	6	1	1
Legault	1	1	0 [Yes, you're a new character, all right]
Florina	35	11	3
Priscilla	12	10	1
Lucius	77	35 [Arena jockey]	4
Oswin	163	44	2
Matthew	73	20	10 [First chapters were Hell on Elibe]
Sain	58	32	5
Guy	181	121 [Arena jockey]	2 [one was Arena death]
Canas	111	49 [Arena jockey]	1 [Arena death]
Serra	4	0	0
Kent	49	18	0
Bartre	70	18	5
Merlinus	20	0	8
Fiora	1	0	0
Raven	91	73 [Arena jockey]	1 [Arena death]
Erk	19	9	1
Lowen	60	17	1
Marcus	59	28	1
Dorcas	26	3	1
Wil	4	3	0

Let's sum up those deaths (ignoring Merlinus).

55 restarts.

NOT counting two restarts due to Kishuna's mad dodge moves, and several due to Legault or Member Card Dude running off-screen.

We've done four Gaidens [Merlinus, Badon, Kishuna I, and the holy Chapter 19x, Pt. 2: A Glimpse In Time] and eleven mainline Chapters so far. 3 and ²/₃ restarts per chapter, on average. So let's call it four, because I have some restarts I'm still not remembering that were for non-death reasons. 

Back in ENM/EHM/HNM, I think I did... 1-2 restarts per chapter? Tops?

<Stockholm Syndrome> I love this game! 8D </Stockholm Syndrome>

...because hey, this is an Arena level, and I can always make up the EXP deficit, right?

At the current moment? Five Wyvern Riders have appeared out of the fog.

This is AFTER already killing about half a dozen of them and four Pegasus Riders.

Yeah, I know you're thinking it's orgiastic revelry for Archers, but I only have Rebecca on the field (Wil is even worse), and she can only take off half a Wyvern Rider's HP in one shot, tops. Well, unless she gets a critical - that Killer Bow IS coming in handy.

You see, at level 8, they have 30+ HP, 12 Strength, 8-11 Speed, and 10 Defense. Now, I don't know about you, but I don't find that typical for my level 8 units. The 12 Strength alone makes me want to cry many single tears.

Also, Rebecca's speed right now is so low that Wyvern Riders double her if she has a Steel Bow equipped... But let us not think overlong on that. D|

New Resolve is technically one of the easier levels, but it's coming off as a joke level right now... if a crazed, rather sadistic joke.

Oh, Fireemblemwod.net has the reinforcements listed for HHM! :D How nice of them! Let's see...

- Turn 4, 5: A Brigand from above
- Turn 5: 2 Monks in the middle of the map at the right
- Turn 6 to 8: 4 Wyvern riders from above and below
- Turn 7 to 10: 2 Knights next to where appears the previous monks
- Turn 9: 2 Wyvern riders from above and below
- Turn 10 to 12: 2 Wyvern riders from above and below

Uh. Um. Shall I count the number of reinforcements?
2 Brigands. 2 Monks. 12 Wyvern Riders on turns 6-8, and 8 more on turns 9-12.

Pray tell, who at Intelligent Systems had the overwhelming Wyvern Rider fetish? Really. I'd like to know.

(And there were five Pegasus Riders at the start and four Wyvern Riders. So you get to see TWENTY-FOUR Wyverns in all throughout this chapter. Ah... ha ha ha...  *twitch*)

On a happier note, have an amusing post from the official Fire Emblem TFLN Tumblr. I suggested that one... and also this one and this one. Good to see the one about the beard was popular, at least.
