I dunno why, but for some reason, I find Faye's obsession with Alm to be way creepier than Tharja's obsession with the Avatar in Awakening.

I think its because faye literally baths in the blood of alms foes.

It might be that.

Like, so far, all I've seen from her support wise are her C support with Alm (where she cheerfully asks him to point her at his enemies so she can murder them for him), and her C and B supports with Silque, which boil down to, "Leave me alone, I don't want to be friends with you, all I care about is Alm."

Tharja, despite her own obsession, had other aspects to her character, and was actually a decent person behind her creepy grim dark mage facade.

I'm afraid one of these days Clair is going to wake up bound and gagged with Faye standing over her, knife in hand, ready for a long discussion about how she needs to stay away from Alm. :ohdear:

She has more than 1 support!?

Also she hasn't turned out insanely good for me. Pretty good and the high base res is real nice, but not fantastic.

Faye's creepiness is because she's legitimately super polite and kind most of the time, and then she's also got that complete obsession on Alm. So I can't imagine she'd actually hurt anyone over him. Even in her Silque supports she basically tries to let her down gently about being friends.

I kept a save file before the battle at the end of chapter 1, because I failed to grab the Dracoshield because I don't have anybody who can do more than 1 damage to Desaix and didn't want to grind until I could. It seemed like it would really tedious to trap him and chip him down 1 point of damage while keeping Slayde alive. Will I have another shot at getting it later?

What are some good weapon evolutions to shoot for? I got Celica's Golen Zofia evolced already and now I have Alm and Celica's army with like 250 silver and 1 gold apiece at the beginning of chapter 4.

Part of having blessed units that's lost is that Forsycthe has almost as much defense as a Baron Lukas, but then when he promotes it's all for naught

Turning the shadow sword into a second brave sword is nice. If you've made Atlas a cavalier, a javelin can be forged into a 2-3 range one that's great for him.

Atlas actually has a Brave Sword already since it only cost 50 silver. He turned into a monstrous Dread Fighter, he has 7 more strength than anyone else in the army (tie between Mae, Celica and Methilda at 21) plus 21 speed and decent def+ the dread fighter's lol res.

Sometimes when you attack it damages you instead. Its just a devil weapon by another name.

Like I used it to drag Jesse through his poo poo phase, but just spend 50 silver and you can make it into a Brave Sword (which is not a brave sword in the fire emblem sense, no double attacking. More like a killer sword)

Is gaining skills required just battles or specifically using it?

Also shields seem incredibly useless by chapter 3? Anyone that doesn't have a weapon has a ring that gives recovery for my team.

I don't have enough rings for that.

Also they're fantastic for squishy mages like Sonya or Delethea since they have absurd speed anyways and a few points of def turns them into 3rkos and they can wade into combat.

I made her a peg knight because I like peg knights, but I'm starting to wish I'd made her a cleric instead. Alm doesn't get a lot of mages and more healing is drat handy.
