Fire Emblem: Awakening

Part 57: Endgame: Grima - Preparation

Endgame: Grima



This is it, the final mission in Fire Emblem Awakening's story. And what better way to absolutely destroy the dragon of destruction than with the highest tier of weapons: Brave weapons.

Braves are, bar none, the best weapons to deal horrendous amounts of damage. Each lead unit's attack can activate 2 Dual Strikes from his partner, for a maximum of 12 total attacks per round. With additional damage from damage procs like Ignis or Luna from the lead unit, just about any foe will fall to a A/S support pair-up.

Unfortunately this leaves out non-Sorcerer tome users out of the fun as Celica's Gale is the only Brave effect for non-dark tomes which are not sold in shops. If we had Sorcerers, they have access to Waste which is available in a different location.











Are you ready, Robin?

As ready as I will ever be, Chrom. Let's finish this!





16 warriors stand between annihilation and salvation. And blah blah blah, don't bother trying to kill everything. Grima spawns unlimited reinforcements and levels don't really matter on the last mission.



The high stats aren't what's eye-popping about this. It's that these are Grimleal instead of his personal Risen troops, which is strange. I guess his Risen aren't that tough for some reason?



Grima surrounds itself with ton of Generals and some extra muscle, although a wall is easily broken if one link is defeated.



Doing damage to the felldragon is the tough part as Dragonskin will heavily reduce damage. Only the Falchions carried by Lucina, Chrom, and Manakete breath can damage for full damage.

The Anathema is kinda random, though. I expect Vengeance or something instead. Not like it matters since Grima can already absolutely wreck you with that breath of his combined with Ignis.
