Recruiting Mist & Rolf

I've complained of this chapter before. I giggle like a little fangirl seeing Mist & Rolf on the board, because I love using them. Rolf winds up being MVP because everyone else does the hard work and he finishes them off. And I absolutely love when his first shot, ever, is a critical hit. Yeah, who taught you how to shoot?

But as always, I get overconfident on this level. Judging by the last post about this level, I sent Titania on the beach to ward off the pirates. This time, I sent up Boyd, Ilyana, & Mia. I don't know why, but I don't love Mia. And my Boyd isn't as strong as he could be.

Oh, and Marcia? I wanted to see what would happen if I didn't talk to her before finishing the chapter. Nothing, it seems. I thought for sure she'd track down Ike like the crazy stalker she is, but she never shows up. I thought about leveling her up this time around, but I guess not anymore. Besides, there are others I'd like to work on. I really want to see what Volke is capable of, besides stealing from people (which certainly comes in handy. I never have to buy heal staves).

Backtracking: There's one base conversation between Ike & Rolf that I hadn't figured out until now. Rolf is acting kind of weird, being a pouty little boy, but acting like everything is fine. I just now realized that this happens right after Shinon & Gatrie leave, which obviously means Rolf is sad over his teacher departing. I don't know why I never noticed it before. Poof little Rolf.
