I managed to beat that Pirate paralogue on the first try by just leaving Shamir in the base to snipe the wyverns as they came in.  That said, I couldn't oneshot any of them, so it sounds like it was on the verge of failure, then. Edelgard is just chumping on melee infantry units, meanwhile... watching some idiot bandit run up and hit her for zero damage, then take an axe to the face and go down in one hit never gets old.Meanwhile, Hubert is a magical monster. He outclasses every other mage I have access to handily on attack magic alone, plus he can +4 Mag rally people. Good lord.

Can the game give you lost items for students that you can't recruit? I swear I've asked the entire school about this perfume bottle multiple times and nobody wants it.

Do the house routes differ in terms of combat maps? Like maybe Golden Deers will be filled with axe wielding enemies?

Zore posted:Even then his skill is only useful at the very beginning of the game/if you never give him any authority. Fortress Knight has that as a class skill though, so it's not transferrable. Leveling Heavy Armor skill proficiency does gets you Weight -3 and Weight -5 as skills though, which seem pretty good for anyone if you can spare the time teaching someone it - particularly mages - since it's effectively +3/5 speed for anyone other than late-game characters with high strength. The lower one in particular seems reasonably doable for anyone with some effort, though the latter needing A+ probably puts it out of reach for most characters not already going down that path of classes. I'm guessing they all stack too, though anyone in Fortress Knight probably doesn't really need -13 weight.

So when I train my students I should go with the skills that have the three stars by them for the best long term results?

No, because that's shoring up a weakness and a majority of the skills you learn from overcoming it are bad. Don't raise a skill just because you may learn a skill from it.

I just started chapter 8, and drat Demitri, you might need to dial it back a bit  Does anyone have a handle on how easy it is to get Umbral Steel? I'm using my holy weapons sparingly like a smart boy, but it would be nice to know if I could be a touch more aggressive with them.

oh god yes I'm hooked First mock battle and I thought I was going to be shameful and have to restart the first fight. Nope. Hubert whips out a crit and removes Dedue in one go with 48 damage. I'd lost bernadette and sleepyboy and six enemies were still up and coming in close. Ahahaha.

Tae posted:No, because that's shoring up a weakness and a majority of the skills you learn from overcoming it are bad. On the other hand, some of them are good, and if you're not looking up what they have it's impossible to tell. Like, a certain character who gets Soulblade can do an incredible amount of damage with it (particularly if you yank a certain sword), and Frozen Spear is basically the same. And sometimes it's good to do so regardless, since it turns the skill into a strength - Sylvain for example certainly doesn't mind flipping reason to a strength, since it positions him pretty well for an end-game Dark Knight.

God dammit, of course the one time I don't deploy Sylvain is when that jackass Death Knight shows up. Guy might hate his crest, but it lets him punch way above his weight class, and you better drat well be sure I'm putting it to good use.

I enjoy the Fire Emblem combat and progression but was never really a big fan of the relationship stuff and the "skits" and stories that went along with them and was expecting that to be the same here. Turns out I'm really into it and loads of characters that I wasn't in the least interested in when you get to go through them all early in the game I would now die for. A lot of the relationship skips have been genuinely funny and a couple of Lindhart's (who seems like such a bland and nothing character) have been lol moments for me. His burn on, ummm the hypercompetitive redhead lance guy, can't remember his name, along the lines of hey that's really interesting you should totally tell me about it sometime when I'm not walking away from you being a fave. Even some of the stuff that leans a little on creepy anime tropes seems to be doing it in a fairly endearing and self-aware way. The size of the castle, janky graphics and jerky movement etc doesn't even bother me and I'm actually not even using fast travel that much as I run around checking in on all my precious children, although I'm still fairly on so that may change. I think one thing I really like is the relatively small rosters due to the house system, so even when I'm heading into combat it feels like the characters are more individual and distinct than in previous games. Game good... so far. e: The UI and menus are pretty terrible though, but that's nothing new. One question, if you're in combat and use the "Gambit" option, is there any way of actually seeing what that gambit does then and there? X doesn't seem to give any details like it does on a lot of other menu items and it feels like I just have to remember them by name, unless I'm missing something (which is entirely possible).

I'm still early in the game, running my first monthly quest. Is Permadeath active now? I've restarted once, rewound once to save someone, but I figured I should ask. I'm currently playing on Hard and it's my first FE. I may switch to Normal if I run up against a wall.

This is a totally anecdotal complaint but man I feel like I'm getting totally hosed on level-up stat gain. I haven't seen more than three stats per level yet, and I'm to the point where if I gain a level up on the first turn of a mission and I don't get more than two stat points I soft reset because it's happening so often. It wouldn't be so bad if it were like STR/SPD or something, but it's almost always HP and Charisma or something

My biggest complaint about the game is the gender restrictions, really. I'm not so miffed about pegasus knights being gender locked, that's a mythos/running series thing, but dark mages being locked in a game where most of the casters seem to be women is annoying. Fliers are a little weird, too. The only "natural" ones are Petra, Ingrid, and Claude, with only Ingrid being more typical peggy and the other two being typical wyverns. Marianne could in theory go pegasus but her statline for it kinda blows and she's also the resident healbot ascendant. Now of course you can do whatev, heck you can do axe wielding pegasus folks for maximum blaspheme, but they do seem weirdly unsupported.

How useful are thieves in this? I'm at chapter 6 and I'm considering making Petra one, she is tied for the highest speed out of my party currently despite being 4 levels lower then Edelgard. She seems natural to be a wyvern rider, but that speed growth though. E: Also with what that goon up there ^ posted, makes me hesitant to go with fliers.

I'm amused that Sylvain has the lowest stat total in my army by 10 - 15 points, but he scores MVP every time I deploy him.

I feel that Thieves are useful since they’re a free unlock for any chest or door and that saves money. Plus they look cool, I’m having Petra track into Assassin I’ve managed to promote everyone except Bernie into a beginner class and I feel like a failure

I had the same issue in the same paralogue, with Ingrid just becoming a peg rider. She spent most of the map flying away from everything and still got shot pretty nicely. I haven't noticed any use for thieves this far since you can just buy a bunch of keys and get them from convoy when needed.

I got the game digitally and I'm wondering if data loading issues are common for anyone else, basically if I'm quick enough I can get to dialogs where the portraits don't load instantly, or characters during battle move their mouths during certain skills but no voice line gets played.

Can fliers dismount like horse units? If so just do that when near archers. I've got one peg and one wyvern and I haven't had any trouble with arrows taking them out. They have been pretty key in a few of the maps with timed extra objectives.

Regarding thieves, does Steal targeting a "non-weapon" allow them to steal equipped stuff like shields? Because that's a potential legitimate reason to keep one around. If not, I kind of agree that they're not terribly necessary - particularly if you pick Blue Lions or poach Ashe.

It's a pretty rare complaint tho, so I think it might be more hardware related. That said, game is not well optimized under the hood, so
