Unfortunately Dedue didn't have enough charm to win the dancing so I had to go with someone who'd actually be good at it.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

I've only really played normal modes and I picked out Hard, its really not bad at all. Even on perma-death runs you have an ability that lets you time warp backwards so you don't lose an important unit to RNG

I’m thinking Raphael for Golden Deer simply because his horrid speed growth will let him down later on. Everyone else in GD has a fairly clear role, including Ignatz, who has thief and rally duties on lock.

I don't want to read this spoiler but Ingrid's paralogue also has a very funny ending

Ingrid: oh hey dad gave me a ring as a reward. Dorothea, you're in this paralogue for some reason, take it
Dorothea: yes I will marry you
Ingrid: what no I'm just giving you money don't make this weird
Dorothea: oh. Byleth can have the ring then, I guess

Well I wasn't going to bother with Lorenz but if I can get that from his paralogue I might have to.

The game apparently gets fairly faceroller later on, once you get your classes going etc etc. Hard alleviates this somewhat, though has a kinda-rough-but-manageable early game.

That's one way to get ahead in life, but nothing beats an axe to the face.
I think there's a bug with some items that grant passive effects.
I defeated a bandit that dropped a magic staff. It gives bonus might to mages. My inventory was full. Nautrally it should sent it the convoy right?

NOPE, if you select the item. It makes you discard it. In fact I couldn't put anything in the convoy. I had to discard something. I killed another bandit right next to it that dropped an Energy Drop. Inventory full, but it defaults to the convoy like every other item.

I realized this because I accidentally discarded a ring because my inventory was full. It seems to only apply to special hold items and nothing else.

at C rank (I think) with each weapon type you get a skill that gives you advantage over the appropriate weapon. Enemies might eventually start having those skills too but I haven't seen them yet

So, are there any hybrid classes that use swords and white magic? Byleth seems pretty trained to go into Swords and Authority right off, but she has her hidden Faith skill (which only benefits her as a caster). Aside from recruiting Faith users more easily, is there any reason to level Faith if you're otherwise focusing on her sword skills?

Here's an idea: There's little reason to go into sword classes instead of just making her a sword priest

Yes, there is one, but you can only unlock it later in the game.

Hm, I suppose you're onto something there. I guess I was just thinking about maxing out her abilities in melee rather than working her into the Advanced magi classes. I've liked how tank-y she feels early on.

Do skills like Faith 2 (that give +Hit and what-not) only trigger when on a round you're actively using a spell like Nosferatu or is it just if you're in a class capable of using White Magic?

Byleth has a unique Master Class that's swords/Faith/authority.

Edelgard's is Axes/Heavy Armor/Authority, Dimitri's is Lances/Riding/Authority and Claude's is Bows/Flying/Authority.

Jerry Manderbilt posted:

Nah its a good idea for every magic user to get Reason and Faith because all magic classes can use every type of magic. Not having both means they lack power spells/healing they could be doing.

It is never a bad idea to have extra healers, because the heals don't seem to scale that much. My Petra heals like 10 and Dorathea heals for like 14 despite the massive MAG difference.
