FE: Shackled Power - Chapter 26 (Endgame 2)

High enemy density chapter. Investing on Madari really work wonders, also there's a really scary glitch regarding that halberdier with the hoplon's guard.
Well, nothing much to this other than to brute force your way through with stats. If you didn't focus on the same units and wasted your funds on weapons instead of feeding them the statboosters, then you might struggle a little here due to either not having enough damage or not able to double.
Given how the enemies have lots of anti-armor weapons here, I went with mixed tanking with Annie/Madari too, instead of just Hute, which allows me to advance more quickly.
Hama is still the same, if you can defeat her back then, there shouldn't be any problem now, especially when you are given a free triangle attack with a sword that ignores Def. Didn't bother with that and went with just Madari.
As for Birgitta, I'm not sure what the story wanted me to do, but I just follow my instinct with Madari's initial brave tome. Most of the investment was just for her to use this tome without too many penalties. It works exceptionally well with the attack tune from Melanie.

Well, the thumbnail is a little awkward there, given how Birgitta lost so easily.

Fun fact: this is our first video in under an hour since...chapter 4. Yep, even the shopping chapter 19x was over an hour long.
What was expected: Long battle with two of Gothen's strongest fighters and an army of super spawns
What actually happened: Madari + Statboosters + Brave Tome + ATK buff + L + Ratio

[@chrosairs7057]

Brigitta could not cope

[@nerothewateruser8030]

​@@chrosairs7057she's definitely seething and malding though :^

[@IAARPOTI]

Madari is being the best magic user with her brave magic totem.

[@chrosairs7057]

2:07 His men will.
2:43 insert "Why must you continue to reconquer"
27:15 but how, did Hute tankiness nearly break the game
29:21 The triangle slayer, the only thing he lacks is a magebane and he beats anyone on melee.
33:28 The game is trying to ensure no one gets softlocked ig.
33:45 The bad luck trio is in her heart.
39:50 Died a complete tool.
44:41 Annie is taking a lot of hits this time.
53:31 Ancient demon king

The real real ending is yet to come, and from other's commentaries, it'll end tomorrow. I'll be here to watch. Good luck there!

[@averysimmons2478]

Wish the music was better for this map but from what i read in the comments this is not the end

[@nerothewateruser8030]

Bruh, no way Hama really just hit em with the "why did you fight the war we started, you monsters". That boosted brave tome to the face was earned >:)
That Hama's Halberdier knew he never stood a chance of stopping us, so he did the next best thing: be a nuisance to the end and give us a fright

[@steel19812]

Lets goooooooooo! Can't wait till the next FE hack after this one.

[@thavidu8234]

This chapter boss is weak to swordslayer and the blood axe
Next chapter , she is weak to the exonar light tome.

1:20 lol at Birgitta naming the armies she and Prosel lead. It's a wonder her last soldiers will still follow her after all that (then again, they had undying loyalty to the max).
2:54 they'll do, or at least they will cower once Birgitta throws away her sanity and all the little care she had for her soldiers.
11:06 damn, Hama's such a jerkass that she ends up interrupting Prosel (or at least doesn't make us hear what Prosel was going to say). Too bad she won't be able to do things like this anymore tho.
27:08 ugh, just great, well, time to start all ov-
27:17 wtf!? Lmao. At least the game didn't freeze. Still, I wonder why that happened. Maybe it has to do with the Halberdier being a custom class or something, and combining that with him using a brave lance. Idk tho lol.
33:43 bad rng all the way through lmao. Looks like the game also wants to say "f&€k you".
39:30 the most dangerous living thing, eh? Then what was that thing when you got defeated many chapters ago? Lol.
And nah, a beefed up druid that can use luna and a dark tome with brave tome is much more dangerous than you.
39:51 remember last chapter when she said she was going to be fine dying? Well, this implies she wasn't actually lol. Although it seemed like Birgitta didn't even mourn her a bit here. Well, I was expecting something at least here.
This whole Birgitta battle:
53:18
53:47 lol, she wasn't able to kill Madari despite supposedly demanding it. Guess even with a cursed weapon she couldn't win.
And yeah, from what I've seen before, even if you didn't use Madari and sticked to using Demi all the way through instead of replacing her, you could've gotten the same results. Pretty much all the druids you can have in this game have the opportunity to become killing machines. Although now that I remember, there were barely any playable male mages this time, right? I think the only one you get was Dour, a monk, right?

[@A_Person_64]

Yep, Dour is the only male mage
GBA Romhack druids are insane compared to the official games.

[@lastcry7101]

The generals being named "Hamas" sure didn't age well

[@averysimmons2478]

No that aged uh... That aged quite well lol

[@saintekweena795]

Is this game iron man friendly ?

[@A_Person_64]

Yeah
