I know someone posted about how to check a unit's class mastery, but I can't find it. Anyone mind reposting it?

Also, do you have to make someone a Dark Priest first to be able to make them a Dark Bishop? Dark Bishop isn't listed in Hubert's class list while Dark Priest is.

I still like the map design a bit better from the FE7-9 era but this game is real fuckin good

In their stat menu, the class mastery is in the bottom right (next to their skill ranks) for estimated numbers.

When you go to change class you can see the exact number.,

I think you need to make at least one person a Dark Mage then Dark Bishop will show up. Like I know I made Lindhart a Dark Mage and now Dark Bishop shows up on all my male character's class charts.

Of course since I only got one Dark Seal I could never actually make a Dark Bishop.

Yup. This is a better game than FE4, FE5, or FE8, the ones I'd have put at the top of the heap--I'm blown away by just how polished it is.

Polo-Rican posted:

What would happen if, theoretically, you purposely got every student in the game killed as quickly as possible? Has anyone tried a "get all students killed" speedrun yet?

I was wondering this too. Seems like with the smaller default cast and relative difficulty of recruiting characters you couldn't afford to lose many people early on without tanking your run. Maybe that's why they added the time rewind and seeing enemy aggro lines before committing actions. I bet there have been a lot fewer casualties and soft resets to save characters in this one than previous games.

The Death Knight, at least on the second encounter, send like he wouldn't be too bad on Casual. You could rush him down at the end of the map with little issue as long as you have something with bonus damage to him.

On Classic, though, I have no idea how you'd ever fight him there unless you're willing to lose units for that Dark Seal. I'm playing Classic so I took one look at that crit chance and immediately choose the other map objective and left him alone.

I used a bunch of gambits to weaken him without getting hit, then had Lysithea nuke him.

Then the next time he showed up, I also had Lysithea nuke him.

She was my number 1 priority for poaching to the Eagles, and I do not even slightly regret it.

I've never played a fire emblem before (okay, fire emblem warriors) and it's fine
Although as per my questions above some stuff is hard to work out, but the game still works for me.

Cyril has the same funny thing as Hayato did where changing his class immediately inflates his muscles to a size that doesn't suit his character gimmick at all.

Poaching an unit before that chapter should be pretty easy though. Just get him to B-support.

Also female Byleths get him for free no matter the house

You can poach him instantly with female Byleth.

I don’t know what happens if you bring Sylvain to the mission as a guest. I’d love for someone to find out.

It seems to be a stat check with some degree of RNG? Like, the higher your unit's Cha is above 13, the higher their chances of winning. Manuela told me 13 too, but my choice has failed every single attempt so far because his Cha is literally 13 (since I stupidly forgot to feed him a stat booster in time) so I got to watch as everyone else from Felix to Lorenz to Hilda win in all my savescumming attempts. :(

The way it works with some characters is annoying though - like you can't get a B with Leoni until later on, the event won't trigger.
When I play again I know that I'll focus differently, but I've definitely missed out recruiting in a sensible way, I guess.

I spent so long just assuming that you couldn't get B ranks with outside house people until later in the game because of her and others.

I had him along as a guest. He had dialogue during the mission, but I didn't have a choice to keep the lance afterwards.

Since his Japanese VA is the same as Mikazuki in Gundam IBO, I've been working under the assumption that he's crazy ripped for such a small guy.

Also that I should never turn my back on him.

If you click on it in the support menu it'll say "can't do this yet" if it requires you to wait for a particular event.

I poached him (not trying) because of female Byleth. He didn't do anything special except a few lines of dialogue.

edit: wait is guest different? I haven't done anyone as a guest yet.

Not precisely, some support ranks are pre-timeskip they just need certain months. Most are post-timeskip though.

This game's writing has some faults (there's def. some clunk whenever it wants to get people into place for twists, and the actual out and out evil, non-playable on any route characters could all be replaced with snidely whiplash) but there's actual reasons for both of those things that serve the good parts of the game's writing, (the twists serve to flesh out the world and give the characters things to react to, the completely evil characters serve as contrast to the conflicted goals of the three houses where nobody's entirely in the wrong or right) so while I wouldn't say it's perfect, it's pretty drat good.

I'm much more mixed on the actual gameplay but that's because it's all over the place in terms of difficulty, map design, and class balance. Definitely not enough to make the game bad or anything but it's a shame it couldn't consistently hit its highs. (Minor golden deer post timeskip spoilers) on the other hand, claude's master plan of setting all of our own guys on fire was probably the funniest thing to happen in any fire emblem game.

It's only there in the battle stat screen. Yes, this is dumb.

While in the monastery, you can check by trying to reclass the unit into their current class.Instead of displaying their new stats or whatever, it'll display their progress in that class.

A lot of the supports reference specific events, so you have to wait for them. Alternatively you can apparently miss the window for a support entirely, I can't watch the C support for someone I recruited right before the time skip, pretty annoying.
