Fire Emblem: Curse of Lagdou

Curse of Lagdou is a completely new story taking place in Magvel during the events of FE8. The plot follows two new protagonists, Isabelle and Jeanne, as they uncover a horrific curse that will usher in the apocalypse.

Crit System: In CoL, if (and only if) you have over 50 crit, your next hit that connects will do 2x damage. If you have less than 50 crit, the number will even be helpfully grayed-out on the battle forecast. Furthermore, CoL has a bevy of new skills that modify crit chance and change what crits actually do. Some ignore defense, some work like an effective weapon, and some add a particular stat onto your base attack. Different crits are good for different things. But that’s not all! CoL also adds flanking to the mix. Each ally adjacent to your target grants +20 crit against them. On top of that, weapon triangle advantage grants +15. Killer weapons? Who needs ‘em! Surround an enemy and welcome them to Crit City!
