Paralogue 10: Smile for the Camera!

Small Correction: I am stupid and forgot the horse spirit was D rank not C, but the Calamity Gate comment still holds true.
Notes:
Bought: Heart Seal, strength tonic
Sold: Talisman, rabbit spirit
Tonics:
Orochi - Strength
Supports:
Azura and Silas - C
Kaden and Selkie - C
Kiragi and Selkie - C
Orochi and Selkie - C
Dwyer and Rhajat - B
Caeldori and Shigure - A
Midori and Shiro - A
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules:
1. I not allowed to have any unit that is paired up land an attack at all, though I can pair up for other reasons such as AI manipulation, Shelter, or movement options.
2. All units must get married. This is to avoid the run from turning into a complete Ryoma sweep.
3. I am allowed infinite resources and an early chef's hat.
4. DLC, grind maps, and online battles are banned
5. As a personal challenge, I am going to try and avoid strats that abuse too much chokepoint stalling to make some maps, like chapter 7, just a little bit more interesting.

5:00 Finally, REAL Birthright gameplay.

[@Bluegh]

It took a year and a half, but I finally decided to play Birthright in my Birthright challenge run!

[@Bluegh]

Reject Selkie, embrace Selfie

[@unkn0wn_3rror]

Nah I’m good. I prefer Selkie over selfie… I don’t like looking in the mirror

[@rattyxoxo7397]

Orochi as a mother is honestly just so fun to try some off-meta magic builds with the children, even if they need a bit to get their magic stat actually going. I’ve just finished a Birthright playthrough where I used Flame Shuriken Orochi!Asugi in Butler through Dwyer Friendship and it was actually really strong despite the meh start in Master Ninja before completing his friendship, though that’s almost definitely a better build than Onmyoji Selkie just because Asugi already has a good magic growth

[@brunaolinto560]

I loved using Master Ninja Selkie (Kagero as her mom). She had like 40 Speed at the end of my playthrough without Pair Up and I liked having Even Better (that’s the name of the skill, right?) to heal her back if she got hit. Look forward to the shenanigans Selkie will pull off!

[@unkn0wn_3rror]

Kirby and the Forgotten Land music?! Good choice Also SELKIE!!!! Love Selkie, she is amazing

[@chapelofthestonemason6341]

Selkie my beloved, i use her in every playthrough i can !

[@Diceeeee]

She returns An icon

[@shiina4826]

new bluegh!

[@tabuukiller13]

Second best wife! Still working out how to best use for current playthrough crit Swordmaster is plan

[@Realsheepsoft]

Couldn't you have unequipped Even Better when she learned Future Sight just so you didn't have to spend a turn just waiting and make the grind go a tiny bit faster?

[@Bluegh]

I ban future sight in my runs

[@MeltraNS]

Birthright no meltra

[@FBIAgentRC-]

Selkie appreciation comment, never understood why I like her I just do

[@venus4211]

Say cheese!

[@JuBeoN]

Why not make Selkie a Basara? Jw

[@Bluegh]

Her strength stat/growth drops off a cliff when her mom is Orochi. All basara would do is give her another weapon to be in E rank hell with for less magic and useless skills

[@level0maid]

I'm a bit confused, why is potent potion so important for stats? Doesn't it only give 1 to any given stat (except HP and Luck) at its maximum? I understand why that would be useful for benchmarks, but why does that make somebody go from having terrible stats to being usable? Am I missing something, or is 1 point of magic really the difference between usable and unusable? EDIT: Also, why does Potent Potion do more for Selkie's magic stat than Magic +2?

[@Bluegh]

Potent potion only barely does more than magic+2, but since she gets that from being in onmyoji it is better for orochi to pass down something she won't get that'll still help. In this run, the most important thing is one rounding enemies and the ability to not die on enemy phase. In her current state, Selkie can certainly one round enemies without tonics just fine thanks to being overleveled and having all the magic stat boosters, but she's among the most frail members of my army in terms of survivability. If she's in a situation where she needs more dmg than what she deals with the horse spirit, getting the +3 def and +7 hp from the bulk tonics is enough to let her survive an extra 1 or even 2 hits depending on what she's fighting. That's where it's most important

[@level0maid]

@@Bluegh ohhhh, the bulk thing makes a lot of sense. I was about to ask how Potent Potion does more than Mag +2 before I realized Selkie can get Magic +2 but cannot get Potent Potion ^^; Thank you for clarifying!

[@wmgflute]

why the daichi hate?

[@TheLonelyNihilego]

Why is this capture boss so bad?

[@Estfireemblem]

Whos she marrying

[@unkn0wn_3rror]

Pretty sure it’s Kiragi
