Lapis vs. Alfred

[TwoHeadedMeerkat]

The "Battle for the Bench" was a lesser-known yet still highly impactful event in the Elyosian war

[bluawesome]

Here we have "All Speed and no Strength" vs "All Strength and no Speed."

[Takumi_Yo]

Here we have someone doing shallow pokes and is nimble vs someone who power swings and telegraphs their moves

Dang that was close. Lapis was holding on to dear life and still won! Victory for the Bear Doom Slayer!

Aww, I'm glad you made Lapis a Bow Knight instead of a Swordmaster.
Made the fight WAY fairer for Alfred than it was, so she wouldn't dance countries around him with a capped Spd of 52, before bonuses. Add a Brave Sword into that mix, & it would take a Louis/Jade/Mauvier that could take 0 damage from those attacks outright to at least push the match into a draw.

Today I learned: Golden Lous applies *before* the crit.

9x3/2= 13, rounded down. (9 gets tripled to 27 after crit, before being halved to 13.5)
9/2x3 = 12, rounded down (9 before crit, before being halved to 4.5 and then tripled once rounded down to 4)

It's a small difference but it could potentially add up. It only seems to matter with odd numbers (the math works out the same with even numbers) due to the rounding, but it does make Alfred that tiny bit tankier.

Alfred is just bad at attacking. I have him wearing an apron as enchanter doing Chrom Rally+ botting and item surging because that's all he's good for. Lapis is fast enough to be basically good on anything. Speed is king of this game, for doubling, not getting doubled, and also avoid tanking.

Alfred has saved a Iron Man run I did purely because he could take loads of damage, and was always *just* fast enough enemies who can do efficient damage on him couldnt double. Also, man can he use a steel sword like a hot hot knife theough butter. Lapis? Iron blade and pair up chains, that's it. Arguably the cut-off for a good swordie that isnt a royal or Alear. Kagetsu is supposed to replace her, but he doesn't like me. Intentionally ate crits even I could've avoided in his shoes.

[ultimaterecoil]

Ah an engage classic fast units with attack so awful they do more damage by giving them a great weapon and hitting once then hit twice with a normal weapon making speed significantly worse in engage compared to the rest of the series as a whole

[Zyaire]

Dang, 50 exp? You playing on easy mode or something because I never seen that happening.
