Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon Merciless Mode LTC Chapter 1

Turns: 7 Total Turns: 7 A run I developed when I was too busy to work on FE6. It's mostly a for fun quick project so don't expect anything too extreme out of it. This will be full recruit. I don't plan on rigging growths since most turn saves don't require it however I'm not anti rigging growths unless it's some like a perfect level on Jagen so some units may end up better than average but I'll usually mention if the extra stats do anything. There are some notable turn saves that require a lot of rigging that I won't be performing in this run (reliability is really bad :/) but I will mention them when they come up. The main goal of this run is to save some extra turns missed by Dondon's 0% run, show off growth strategies for various situations, and try and improve reliability when possible. I'll also be using some underrated units for flavor. The strategy for this chapter is very close to the one performed by Gradivus and Moogleboss in their LTC's with some minor adjustments tailored to this run. Cain uses a lance in 3 places that aren't needed and can be replicated with an iron sword for better hit rates. I wasn't sure how many unreliable Iron lance hits I would need when I started this run but it turned out the number was zero so I documented the clear chance as well for not taking them. It is theoretically possible to 6 turn this chapter but the reliability is trash since it requires multiple crits on turn 5 and 6.
