You don't remotely have to have them battle, just attach them to the support or just keep making them eat lunch together.

lmao why does that rankedboost site already have a tier list and why is lysithea in f tier, she oneshots everything in the game

They just use that well-known and highly respected method of tiering known as “adding their stats together.”

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

Yea she’s an extreme glass cannon but boy it’s an extremely effective one. If they ever release a harder mode she would be pretty low tier but at this point it’s pretty silly.

Edit: Probably good advice for everyone is do whatever the hell you want. From what I have seen so far min maxing doesn’t need to be a consideration so stop agonizing over every decision.

So where the gently caress is the library? I'm just past the first mock battle so maybe it's not unlocked yet but one of these drat teenagers with attitude told me to go read a book.

Check his personal skill, he has a +20% to every growth. Of course his actual growths without that skill are pretty mediocre.

It's on the left wing of the second floor.

I feel like even in a harder mode she'd be good, her bases are actually good unlike a lot of previous FE characters in her mold, and she learns a lot of fairly unique spells that are very handy, like Luna and Dark Spikes.

You've got to know, to understand,
Baby, take me by my hand,

So I have a recommended level five battle and I can just keep doing it forever, then choose the level seven one? Seems easy to keep all your character up to level since you can do this over and over.

Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
I never did any battles beyond quests and the story mission, and I was relatively leveled (or over leveled in some cases) on hard mode.

I don't know if it's because I let my mages and hybrids heal all day but that's free EXP and actually a lot more exp than previous games, since it seems like they balanced it around heal not being 40 uses as a weapon.

So far my biggest issue with this game is that XP isn’t always on a 0-100 scale.

I believe only normal mode offers the 0 cost battles but I'm finding it easy enough to keep up with the story curve doing only 1-2 extra missions a month.

I'm glad I min-maxed my prof level because getting that extra battle time is needed when you suddenly have a bunch of paralogues and quest battle missions.

Ok cool. I was going to play normal and gently caress around making characters whatever I like, then play on hard, so that's good.

Serenes has the list of abilities you gain from skill ranks.

Most importantly, you get the weaponfaires at S+, and for magic you get Range +1 at S. High-rank magic is going to be sick. A+ Riding also unlocks Movement +1, because mounted classes needed to be even better, I guess.

If you check the “Dependent Abilities” section, you’ll see that every house has one person who gets three Rally skills.

It seems like you get huge benefits from almost exclusively exploring for the first few months. I did one auxiliary battle (aside from the forced one) before the Chapter 4 fight to get Claude and Byleth to level 10 and promote them, but aside from that, I’ve only gone exploring. That's gotten me halfway to C+ professor level before chapter 5.

I feel like I wasn't supposed to beat the Black Dark Knight in BE Chapter 3, but gambits on the weaker troops, followed by a Byleth attack and a Edelgard Smash finished him right off. Guess Dorothea will get to be a spooky warlock just like she wanted!

Once you do the defeat bandits quest for the merchants it unlocks a merchant who sells, in limited amounts, some fishing bait

Dang, teh Lorenz paralogue is pretty cool, gameplay wise, def. recommend doing it as soon as possible if you want a challenge. It's just 'defense map but with thieves running into the thickest part of the enemy formation' but it was fun.

She won't, because Dark Mage is male-only. Give it to Linhardt or Hubert.

Gender locked classes really suck. I'll give fates one thing, making all the basic classes available to male and female characters was great.

Hello, my game arrived earlier than I thought, even if it's a bit late, so I figured I'd ask, is there any kind of guide on how to skill people for idiots, so I can just follow that instead of suffer through choice paralysis for my first run?

i dont mind peg being female only and giving guys One thing to compensate for that is whatever but the gender locks in this game feel pretty random, esp. when you get stuff like dancer not being gender locked

the students offer their own suggestions on how to level them and have things the game tells you they're good at, so just focus on those things

That's actually the default path for that route, as siding with Edelgard has a couple of additional requirements that the player needs to complete beforehand. Claude and Dimitri only have one path each.

What are the requirements?
