Soren's and Titania's ghosts want to go with Ike, but they know they can't

[@angrybread478]

I can't believe Path of Radiance only gives you two Staff users, and no unit can promote to use them. Such awful design

[@webbowser8834]

3 if you count Rhys.

[@paperluigi6132]

Can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not.

[@karlrudd8914]

​@@paperluigi6132Yes he is. Excelblem has gone for the objectively better choice of daggers

[@brozomicki-sothe307]

2? Isn’t it 3?

[@karlrudd8914]

@@brozomicki-sothe307Whos the 3rd? I forget

[@bubblebeampiplup8132]

Titania: "I'm hurt! Someone heal me!"
Ike: "But we can't...none of our sages knows how to use staves...only knives!"
Titania: "YOU BASTARDS!"

[@raymoo8504]

See I can understand why Ike wouldnt want to use Ragnell seeing how its original wielder killed his father, or saving it because he wants to kill the Black Knight with it, but he was carrying the fucking thing this entire map. He has no excuse to not use it here

[@OrigamiAhsoka]

Whaaaat? Promoting all sages into knives did come back to bite us?

[@Dunco64]

I'm actually so surprised Tanith survived this long

[@chichen_nuggest]

Losing access to summonable cannon fodder is unideal for excelblem

[@sirfellow941]

Who knew that by choosing the objectively correct choice of knives, an offensive weapon with practically 0 strength, instead of the useless staffs, weapons that don't do any damage except maybe put a random cavalry unit to sleep, would result in the death of Titania? Darn, if only knives weren't so much better than staves in every way because 1 damage > 0 damage.

[@DJFracus]

unironically he should've brought Elincia instead of only bringing one staff user to the siege tome map

[@radiantherooftellius1138]

MPID_BLACKNIGHT was truly a challenge

[@SirVyre]

Neph woulda died twice now in this run without the Knight Ward, yeehaw.

[@brozomicki-sothe307]

Knife users are better than staff users because offense is the best defense

[@jvts8916]

Up next, one of the most luck based fights in the series.

[@thekiss2083]

Right up there with Ryoma vs. Mysterious Swordsman

[@mysmallnoman]

There's actually a way to beat the fight consistently 100% of the time

[@Ganonmustdie2]

When Titania dies you know it's bad

[@JRPizza]

Neph sleph but still wins. Big F in the chat for Titania though.

[@ManuPlays05]

Dang Titania... She was so op on vanilla

[@justhenry2221]

MPID_BLACKNIGHT

[@amperesclaw9203]

Jagen died again

[@auraguard0212]

It would be REALLY funny if Excelblem fucking lost in this next chapter. I'd cry.

[@StarshadowMelody]

"muhk"

[@floricel_112]

Ah, this chapter. Also known as: Ike's training area

[@Conan_the_Based]

This is not Ghosts'n'Goblins. You did not have to Get The Knife, Get The Knife and Get The Knife.
