Yes. If you wanted to know how it's possible, you could've just checked out the certifications menu and looked at all the class skills. Bishop has 2x white casts.

Amppelix posted:Yes. Spoiler for Black Eagles part two and why you can't get Hilda if you go Chaos. There's no way Hilda would fight Claude so that'll be why you can't do it. I do understand why Dedue and Hubert are unrecruitable generally, but Hilda is a weird one.

Hilda does play the role of Claude's pseudo-second in the Deer route, just not with the same objective loyal fanaticism as Hubert and Dedue obviously do. It'd make more sense if it was Lorenz tho

claude paralogue: so there's that dragon with four bars of HP to go through and i'm figuring i'd probably have to expend all 8 uses of the failnaught left to bring it down. is there a better way to beat it up since i figure it'll be really hard to do the job in one turn of combat?

Wendell posted:New game plus just gives you your renown? But won’t everyone have spent all of it on statues? New Game + keeps your statue progress and gives you a bunch of renown. I don't know if it gave me a fixed amount or just refunded everything I'd spent on statues (while, again, keeping them at the progress they were at), but I started NG+ with over 9000 renown banked and I definitely didn't have that much at the end of the game. Buying your way back to A+ professor level will cost you about 4000 of that IIRC, and then the other stuff has various costs.

Your battalion, item, and weapon shop don't reset either. Meaning yes, you can buy silver/killer weapons off the bat.

Batallion wise the game should really tell you what level of authority you have when you're in the equip screen like it does in the buy screen. I often ignore the ones I get from quests because it's just a loving hassle and a half.

That’s pretty much my biggest issue with the same. A lot of the UI is unnecessarily clunky which can get annoying because of how menu heavy the game is. Item management in particular is annoying because your units casually pick up a ton of useless crap but the game lacks the tools previous games to easily take care of this stuff.

It should just be there for me to see. Otherwise I have to through each character checking what they can and can't use and I just drop it altogether and keep the poo poo ones forever DrManiac posted:That’s pretty much my biggest issue with the same.

The game should let me click on stat boost items in the convoy and then pick "use" and what character to use them on. Because it doesn't, I don't loving bother to use them because I can't be bothered faffing

Yeah, I don’t use the stat boosting items either because it’s incredibly unintuitive. I’m sure I’ve also got a few powerful weapons I’ve forgotten about rotting in the convoy. Intensely bad item management menus in this game.

I'd describe the UI as uneven. There's lots of places where it's pretty smooth but there's also lots of places where it can be hard to track down information you need even when there's plenty of space for it.

Pick someone you either leave on the bench or can't work out what to do with and be satisfied. The game doesn't need you to min max at all.

So Blue Lions Part 2 second or third stage, a few stages later and I keep thinking back on this. Why did the Alliance fight us in that three way battle? What did they possibly have to gain from it?

Yea, I had my dancer for a little bit as Dorothea and now she's a Gremory, I don't feel I lost anything. But crucially you tend to have more deployment slots in later battles. Some I've even had 12! So getting two goes on one character isn't worth it all the time.

I made Ignatz my Dancer because he had some magic skills, was good at swords, and was surprisingly well-rounded in my run (he mostly excelled for baiting mages due to his high Resistance). He's decent enough that he can take advantage of situations when needed, but not so powerful that I feel I'd be better off using him rather than Dancing another character most of the time. I've only used him in a couple battles so far, but I'm happy with my choice right now.

Ferdinand was a great dancer since his personal skill gives him extra avoid when at full HP which synergized well with the +20 Avo from the dancer skill.

Endorph posted:yeah iunno why its three way either from the deer side. i get that dimitri is bloodyminded but you think hed just go 'kill the empire and kill the alliance if they get in your way' not specifically set ambushes for and go after the alliance I avoided them and focused on the other side so they attacked me. Like even if our messengers were killed our interests are obviously aligned.

While it's true you can recruit nearly everyone I still find myself using all the characters that I start with with a smattering of the others. I bet it's similar for most players, so it's not like you're having exactly the same experience every time. I never use the teachers/Knights. Wonder if anyone really goes for them.

Ah yea I can see why you'd do it if you're on classic and people are dying. I'm really confused about the character Fleche. This is a spoiler for the timeskip on all routes I think. She's Randolph's sister and we learn that in Blue Lions. But in Black Eagles she's in my Explore bits and talks about her brother and got no intro! It's really strange, feels like cut content

Holy poo poo post time skip BL maps do not gently caress around! Prior to the last pre-timeskip battle I was sleep walking though levels but these last 2 (last before timeskip and first after) are substantially harder than the first half of the game. Might actually need to put some thought into them!
