It's a shame real human beings got their hand on this script, I miss when every support story with a female character involved them baking 300 pies and then tripping.

drat the map at what I assume is the end of part 1 is epic as gently caress. Hell the last two months have been sick for the blue lions, and now I definitely wanna play the other two houses at some point.

I found out last night that the weapon triangle is mostly gone (until lategame or sth supposedly) and Im a lil devastated tbh cause I felt super smart coordinating all the right weapons everywhere. Its ok tho sigh. Im glad horses and pegasi and big heavyarmors work the same. This games so good.

It's a little lame that it's not there at the beginning but it just makes it more surprising when enemies Class Up and start using the triangle against you

I went easy casual and I regret it a lot now. I can beat any level by just letting enemies walk into Fortress Edelgard :(

not to worry, it's like that on normal too, and casual/classic doesnt matter when no one ever dies anyway.

Hard is also really easy after the first few chapters, and im not really good at these games. your units get so powerful if you teach them the proper skills, maybe they balanced the game around everyone using the godawful Auto Teaching.

Does the game explain how item weight works anywhere and I missed it? I knew there had to be a downside to giving shields to everyone lol

Ppl told me it reduces your speed, which determines how likely it is to attack more than once when you fight somebody. (Not movement on the board)

I don't think it ever explains it in detail. It might be mentioned in passing in one of the tutorials. If the total weight of your equipped weapon and your equipped accessory exceeds some fraction of your Strength score (I don't remember if it's one-third, one-fourth, or one-fifth), the excess is subtracted from your Speed to give your Attack Speed. So you're slower when using heavy weapons and shields, but stronger characters can use heavier gear without a penalty.

Yeah it's 1/5 I looked it up! Is the only thing that matters with Attack Speed having 4 more/not having 4 less than the enemy so you can double attack or are there other thresholds that do stuff?

That's the only thing Attack Speed is for, but the same weight thresholds also affect evasion, which is derived from speed.
