Strategist Ability in War Battles

Post by Sasarai10 »

In a previous discussion we were questioning why Tir,Lepant and Humphrey's portraits appear when you select this ability?

I've done a little test a while ago,and the truth is that not only them appear. I've tested to see who's appearing up to the 10th place...here's the order:


1. Tir
2. Lepant
3. Humphrey
4. Max
5. Kasim
6. Viktor
7. Flik
8. Tai Ho
9. Kreutz
10. Varkas


but first you must use each previous Unit,if you'd like to go to the next...for exaple if you have already used the first 7 characters,then Tai Ho,Kreutz and Varkas will appear by that order

In the begining i thought it all has to be with the Tablet's order,but Max comes to mix up the things. Yet they are not ordered by who's the strongest,since Max appears in the 4th place...so how on earth are they ordered anyway? :|

So if you've used Lepant Family or Humphrey's Team, Max will show up?

When I did my testing, I got Valeria instead of Kasim, but i was doing it at Scarleticia, so that makes sense.

We never did figure out if there was any pattern to whose faces show up in what order.

Here is the other thread for the interested: http://www.suikosource.com/phpBB3/viewt ... =8&t=13589

As for the selection of these characters, I'm not sure, but the above order has a pattern:

1. Heavenly Star 1
2. Heavenly Star 2
3. Heavenly Star 5
4. Earthly Star 6
5. Heavenly Star 6
6. Heavenly Star 13
7. Heavenly Star 17
8. Heavenly Star 28
9. Heavenly Star 19
10. Heavenly Star 34

The kanji for "earth" has less strokes than that for "heaven", so earth might appear before heaven (in cases were the number is the same). This theory would answer the question concerning Max, but at the same time it raises the question why Tai Ho appears before Kreutz.

I find it hilarious that when you haven't recruited Max yet, you have Qlon there.

Obviousely they are team based.

1. Commander's Team
2. Lepant Family
3. Humphrey's Team
4. Knights Party
5. Former Imperial Team
6. Viktor's Team
7. Warrior Village Kids
8. Fishermens
9. Wild Geese
10. Bandits

It seems to be a fixed order and the game picks the first character of the team recruited and alive. Thats why Valeria jumps in for Kasim respective Qlon for Max/Sancho.

I can't identify any pattern unless being predefined.

Probably it's just a fixed pattern,with no particular meaning.

If I remember right, if you "follow the plan" as he says, the boost to your attack lasts longer (up to the three turns if you use all of the portrait characters).

this has to do with how many strategists (Mathiu,Apple,Leon) you have recruited.

If you have recruited only one,then it will last 1 turn
If you have recruited 2,it lasts 2 turns
If you have recruited 3,it lasts 3
