I dunno why anyone would want to use the demon ring they give you for this. Hell, anything less than a third mage ring would probably be disappointing.

I like Clive although I think his Res sucks and mine hasn't gained much Def. Mathilda also has even worse Def and tbh can't hit very hard yet (but I've only had her for 2 fights or something).

Should I give Silque a shield? It seems like a good idea tbh.

Yeah, up until you get rings all mages should be rocking shields ime.

Melee dudes really want the might bonuses and skills from weapons so shields are kinda wasted on them.

Poor knights are worthless in this game, just slow moving mooks for enemy witches to murder. Cavs and dread fighters are better in every way. They desperately need some special class ability to suck less.

The bigger problem is that Knights suck at keeping up unless you're dedicating a Rescue on them. Always the biggest problem with them until the pair-up games.

It's probably telling on some level that they give you exactly the number of pitchforks that there are knights.

Sep 12, 2012

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

I did but then I realized the shard only gives +5% growth to every stat except Res, which is like +1 stat every 20 levels, so I just switched back to weapons. I guess if you want to uh, max out Resistance for the villagers and mercs the shard is your best bet since it gives +2% Res growth.

I've seen it.
So far my Forsyth has the highest res and speed of any knight I've ever had in a Fire Emblem game. Except Amelia but she doesn't count. As of right now he's tanking Witch strikes and doubling unmounted soldiers. It's nuts.

Speed sounds like Forsyth, but the Res is pretty incredible given this game's growth rates.

I'm liking this so far, figured with so many mechanics gone the game would be rather simplistic but it actually makes me worry more about positioning than just wreck through everything with pairups. Too bad supports so far have been crap, would rather have more/better even if it meant no voice acting. Though I'm enjoying the story and characters otherwise.

How much did I screw up by not getting a dracoshield of some general dude?

I never got the dracoshield and the game was perfectly manageable on hard. You don't even need it for the post game dungeon.

getting the dracoshield is a borderline exploit not an actual thing you're in any way expected to do

im pretty sure the dialogue after doesn't even make sense if you kill him

ryoma tried to let elise slowly die of dysentry. at least takumi was just straight-up trying to murder her.
