I am HERE for axe mage.

But seriously, considering the limited charges mages have (I think a saw a screenshot where Thunder had 8) it might be very useful for magic users to be able to use melee weapons as well, depending on how long the maps are.
It feels like every mage has some sort of backup. Mercedes has bows, Annette has axes, etc. There's no character with nothing but magic options.

And to be fair it doesn't seem like the difference between positive and neutral is that drastic. Feels like it's maybe a ~20ish percent difference? Big, but not so huge that you can't make people whatever if you want.

IGN wiki has everyone's base stats and proficiences/weaknesses. Hopefully they have growth rates soon too, but you can mostly intuit those based off bases.

Some are still missing, and it's not just church members, but yeah this is pretty great.

There, uh, seems to be at least one (possibly moderate/major) spoiler though. For what I mean, look at Lysithea's profile, specifically her crest line. Also, wow is that character pigeonholed.




edit: Alternatively it could just be a misprint or copy error. Given the old leaks it certainly seems suspicious though. Also, double checked and of the students it's just Bernadetta missing for some reason - everyone else is there. All the adults are missing though.

I mean, we've seen lysithea activating that crest in footage besides this, so she has it. It's entirely possible she dies in the Eagles/Lions lines but lives in the Deer line. The battle against the beast with that crest seems to be pre-timeskip, but we've seen Lysithea with a post-timeskip design.

I don't necessarily disbelieve this, but when was she shown using the Crest of Gloucester, rather than Charon? And, by the wording, the Major Crest version at that. On the other matter, given that there's apparently very significant choices you get within routes it's possible that one of those affects the death leak (if that one was even true) instead of just simple house choice.

I've def. seen a screenshot of it but the FE subreddit is on fire so I can't exactly look for it, sorry. And yeah, I will say that people should be gunshy about taking the thanibomb leak as 100% true on literally everything. There are things in there that are straight up wrong.

I think you can level her up all the way, she just doesn’t have access to the classes focused on it.

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

She does, there are fist-focused classes that are available to women. Brigand has fist as one of its requirements for instance. There's just two fist-specialist classes girls don't have access to, but there's still high-end classes they can access that have fist as one of their weapon types. You can make a girl punch if you want.

I'm taking a look at the stats IGN posted and I was not expecting Marianne to be the Deer with the highest Sword proficiency. I kind of like it though, I can work with that.

There's some pretty non-standard decisions with the weapon proficiencies and i'm a fan.

It's Mount Emblem because every Fire Emblem is Mount Emblem and canto exists in this one. I find it very unlikely that cavalier and pegasus knight will have low enough stats to make up for high movement and canto.

I would say it entirely depends on how much time you have. What's the difference between minmaxing 2-3 units, can even get everyone to the master class, how much of that factors in the time it takes to poach a different houses students, do you value supports over skills, etc.

Fists are the most noble of weapons and have unique properties to them that I find pretty intriguing.

Also, the part in the opening when Seiros throws away her sword and punches Nemesis in the face is extremely cool. Thus proving the superiority of fists.

It's also worth noting that the two people he doesn't have A supports with are both male, and the one with the special support symbol is also male.

Just referencing back to this, but after watching this video:

the special symbol over a support convo letter is definitely unclear as to what it means. There's a very brief glance at Marianne's support list in it, and she's got the same symbol over one of her supports with Lorenz... her C rank support specifically, so it's not even an ending one. They actually move down one off the first page and she's got the symbol over her C rank with Ferdinand too (which incidentally also confirms there are cross-house supports - not that we didn't already reasonably know this, but I don't think there had been confirmation).

I was actually wondering similarly to where I think you were leading before, but now it's completely up in the air again.

It's a good thing being a punching specialist means you can punch without weapons, then.
