Forget perfect level ups, this is how you RNG abuse!
As the title says, this is Hector Hard Chapter 23x on my 0% growths run. I finish the chapter in 9 turns and get all of the treasure, in addition to meeting the 50 level requirement for Linus's version of chapter 24 (Hector's last level up was the 50th one).
Obviously the challenge here is dealing with some key PC units being eternally stuck at base stats. Some notes:
Ninian, with 14 HP and 4 resistance, is OHKO'd by all 4 Purge and Bolting users on this map; this is still largely true even with a +7 resistance boost from Pure Water or Barrier. Ninian requires an Angelic Robe and a full resistance boost to survive the strongest Bolting sage (31 atk). To circumvent this (and save a valuable stat booster), I KO both Bolting sages on the first turn and take advantage of Kishuna's AI to protect Ninian from the Purge bishops.
Hector requires RNG manipulation to actually kill anything, but offensive problems can always be fixed by better weapons. He is OHKO'd by every promoted enemy on the map, which makes it difficult to get the necessary EXP for level 20; 4 turns of Kishuna lets Hector run around unscathed, though.
It's necessary to chase away Kishuna during turn 4, otherwise he leaves at the beginning of turn 5 but his impossible-to-beat cohort sticks around.
ORKOs can be achieved with silver or brave weapons, but killer is necessary to prevent units from taking counters, as healing is rather limited, and some enemies can't be doubled when not weighed down.
this hack isn't available?
