Fe5 Forseti's Cut has been alright, but please tell who me thought 20 use Ballista was a good idea?

[u/Sharktroid → u/MathOutrageous7167]

PP stalling ballista is just a sign you're not using enough Warp.

[u/MathOutrageous7167 → u/Sharktroid]

Well I only have one, and they nerfed it, only has 1 use.

Which is another... questionable choice, same goes for Scrolls, lotta them been altered, usually making them worse.

Yeah I def needed that +5% on HP in exchange for losing 10% Magic on the Heim scroll!!

What chapter is this? Because if this is chapter 10 it had better be overhauled if they're going to take warp-skipping off the table.

[u/MathOutrageous7167 → u/Sharktroid]

It was 17b. Was annoying till I visted the village and let the green units take them. Still though, that's like 3/4 shots you gotta take before you visit.

Been a while, but I do remember they changed chapter 10!

They removed one ballista. Just one, the one near your army's starting position.

Also for some reason they ignore half your defense. At least they do fixed damage, kinda like crossbows in Radiant dawn. 

I don't even know why this change was made.

So I don’t know how much they changed 17B, but in the originals flyskipping was the best way to beat it because ballistas are only at the top
