Part 93: The Internet: Wireless Options

The Internet: Wireless Options



So, a lot of things happen when you beat Chapter 3.



The Chapter 4 mission opens up, The Two Falchions.



Then we have a green location open up called a "Paralogue." These are side missions that offer new characters to recruit, additional treasure, and some interesting world-building. Paralogues never go away until you complete the mission, so don't feel rushed to do them as soon as they are available.



But for now, we'll talk about this.

Wireless Options: We're not using any of it



Streetpass Team-Options to customize your current team to send out to opposing Awakening players. Your team will appear on any empty nodes on their world map, and they can either challenge or buy items off your team.

If the thread really wants to, I can show off the little options but most of it is just entering personal information for the team like greetings and "What's your expression?"



Bonus Box is split into 4 categories:



Bonus Teams are a number of heroes and villains from each Fire Emblem game.



We'll take a look at Fire Emblem, the first FE game that came to the United States. Each character can be summoned onto the field, but there's a limit of how many you can have out at the same time. Florina will be summoned for this demo.

You can't summon nothing but Florina's at once, but you can summon her unlimited times once you either beat her, buy an item from her, or recruit her.



Each summoned character has these options (And so do the Streetpass teams from other Awakening players).



Characters have their own team of soldiers that vary in strength. Sometimes a weak character has a weak team, sometimes they are weak while their protectors are maxed-out stat monsters that will kill you with their pinky.

Florina here is a standard Peg Knight, though she comes with the Deliverer ability which grants +2 Move when she's paired up.



We can recruit her right now, but keep in mind they don't come with any items. They are also inferior as combat units because they cannot give anything beyond 1 rank of Support (that's +10 hit in a vacuum). They do have some advantages, but not for combat.



We can also fight the character to gain experience, Renown, and a chance to recruit for free. The exception is that on Lunatic, you will only gain 1 EXP period when fighting Bonus Teams. Even killing a unit grants only 1 EXP.



Buying items from the Bonus Characters is like a shop. Some characters have incredibly powerful weapons available as soon as Wireless is available, but we don't need legendary weapons now, do we.



Dismiss banishes the character consequence-free, and disappears from the map. You don't gain Renown from doing it, though.



Renown is gained when you beat a story chapter, defeat/recruit Bonus Teams, beat a skirmish (Random battles), or defeat/yield a Double Duel. Renown amount can be transferred to any new game equal to the total amount you had when you beat the game. For example, beating the game with 5000 Renown means any new game started on a different file starts with that much, unless you system wipe the whole game.

Renown per event:
-Complete a chapter: 10 points
-Complete a skirmish: 10 points (doesn't matter how many enemy teams)
-Defeat (or hire) a SpotPass or StreetPass Team: 50 points
-Defeat (or yield before) a Double Duel team: Varies according to the number of foes defeated and the difficulty level

Renown isn't currency, so if you spend 900 Renown on a Goddess Icon out of 1000, you still have a 1000. You can also only get the item once per game file.



Man, look at those awesome weapons and stat boosters we could use. Oh well.



Avatar Logbook-If you defeat a Bonus Team character, acquire DLC characters, and/or add your own Avatar, you can buy them at inflated prices. Generally, the higher the stats and more abilities they have, the higher the price. You can update each character with a better or worse one on each character screen.

Separate Avatars hired count as non-story characters like Florina, so they can't support with anyone.

SpotPass is the option to turn on or off the wireless connection. Turning it off means no automatic updates and Streetpass teams.



Bonus Maps can't be unlocked until basically the endgame. That's a long ways down the road. No spoilers on these.

The rest are multi-player stuff which I can't show because I don't own a 2nd 3DS with Awakening on it.
