Maxed Out Ike? D: oooopsss...


Hallo -wave-

Um. My Ike is maxed out already ._. I'm on chapter... 10? Uh. "Prisoner Release".

...When...does... he get promoted..? ;_; Not until forever right? So like, I can't even use him because he won't gain any EXP and just waste it for people that actually need it..?

What can I do? D: I mean, maybe I'm over looking something or something... Help please?

re: Maxed Out Ike? D: oooopsss...



My Ike got maxed out way early on my current playthrough as well .

I don't think he gets promoted until chapter ~20ish. My suggestion would be just to not use him until then. This is not necessarily bad since you can focus more on leveling your other characters .

Also, remember if you are using Volke You should max him asap since he does also get a promotion through the storyline a few chapters after Ike.

Good luck!

Ike promotes at the end of Chapter 17.

You might consider unequipping Ike until then so he can at least act as a meatshield for your weaker units without draining valuable combat exp.

I love chapter 11. If you're still on it, you can get some wicked bonus exp from it for being pacifistic.

re: Maxed Out Ike? D: oooopsss...


..chapter 11 (Blood Runs Red) is the worst chapter I've ever played -screams and swears and rips out hair- ;____; sobsobsob. It's taken me like. Three nights. To actually beat Mackoya and doesn't the Black Knight come out of the house and kill Lethe right after I beat the other guy ;_; sobsobsob. I'm so angryyy ;o;

How can I be pacifistic when all they do is kill me to death? ;_; -cling- Save meee..

re: Maxed Out Ike? D: oooopsss...

Doh, I was thinking of chapter 10. Yeah, 11 blows. You can still get bonus exp from not killing the vigilantes I think on the upper right of the map, but it's virtually impossible if you're recruiting Zihark, so it's not worth it.

I remember sending Kieran to the left, Nephenee to the lower left, Mia and Ike up, and I think Gatrie upper right, and any other units backing them up. I think in the beginning I sent Volke (relying on a critical) and someone else immediately south to take care of those guys, and then just hightail it out of there (I think there are some annoying reinforcements in the lower right later).

Worked fine, albeit just an overall pain.

Try approaching Zihark from behind while having another unit by the exit square. Put a laguz in range where they can reach Zihark but he and the vigilantes can't reach him/her (depends on who's transformed at the time).

1) Reach Zihark and recruit him.
2) Take Zihark to the nearby house to grab the item.
3) Land on the exit space to clear the map.

Zihark recruited, item gained, upper-right vigilantes bonus exp earned.

Alas, nothing you can do about the ones at the bottom-left, since they start close to you and pretty much suicide run you.

Why are you leaving Lethe by that house at all? ._. Send everyone to the left, and then head up to the ship that way. Send a couple back down when you kill the boss to try and lure the BK away from the upper path if you plan on recruiting Zihark (might as well, even if all you do it for is his items), but obviously don't put anyone in attack range unless you want to kill off one of your own army.

Boring. Why have weapons at all if you're not going to use them?

Besides, you're losing weapons exp that way.

re: Maxed Out Ike? D: oooopsss...


xD my plan was:

a) send Lethe, Soren, and Oscar to the right to recruit Zihark and kill the guys there, plus get Zhiark to get the killer lance from the house, then they can meet up with the other team later on
b) send Boyd bottom left to the house to get the Dracoshield, kill three guys and get item
c) send Keiran, Ike and Mordecai upper right to the other house, Get Keiran to get th Elwind
d) leave the rest to kill three soldiers at the start/bottom right

so yeah D: i forgot to move Lethe before the black knight came out so ._. i'll try again tonight and see how it goes. Alot of my characters are really weak x.x; Everyone's all "Nephenee is the BEST" but mine sucks ;_; sooo...

I DID IT! After four/five nights of trying to beat this chapter, I DID IT YAYAYAY!

I was so mad and upset because I kept dying, but my friend Davey cheered me on the whole time, and I finally did it ;w; I'm so happy and excited -weep-

No, he isn't D: He comes in.. two chapters after that one? Because the ship one is after the hard one I HATED, and then theres another one where you get Gatrie back, and the one bow paladin that I forget her name >_> Astrid..? I think thats who it was anyway.. -shruggg-

I remember considering going from behind, but I didn't want to wait that long into the chapter to recruit him. I'd rather just get him quickly and start using him, because I remember he did come in handy against the boss.

Because it's more fun to be stealthy in that chapter. It requires a tremendous amount of strategy to get even a core team of small through the chapter undetected, while still rescuing people.

Weapon exp doesn't really matter much to me. I always just use iron and steel weapons anyway, except for Ragnell.
