This has almost certainly been answered already but if you have multiple A rank supports between your students what determines which paired endings you get?

If you look at a unit's stat screen it lists the 3 people they have the most support points with (total support points continue to accumulate after A rank). That's how it determines paired endings.

I’m almost certain Sylvain’s C-rank with Byleth is the same across both genders but I doubt it’s as funny as female Byleth, who hasn’t had a thought before becoming professor, walking through town and calling him a jerk

It was especially weird in my playthrough as (Edelgard/Linhardt A-rank) he'd already promised to join Edie's crest research lab thing and the text blurb makes it explicit he totally flaked out on that deal. Also Ingrid/Mercedes's B-rank was surprisingly gay. I thought Ingrid was the mercilessly straight one. (Well, I suppose the lack of A-rank does indicate they're not getting together, but...)

Is Ashe good at anything other than being a nice earnest boy. He won me over with his personality and I like him a lot as a character but dude... you're level 18 and you have 11 strength What the gently caress are you doing dude. I don't want to bench him but he's officially entered completely useless tier.

I was trying to figure out how to do a "kill the least amount of potential playable characters" gimmick run and I think this is how you'd do it:
Not something I'd recommend for a first playthrough (although it is possible to recruit everyone if you're super efficient with your professor level and free time points), but if anyone is hoping for a golden, everyone-is-happy ending, that's about as close as you're gonna get.

I geared my group to basically be two mobile groups and a core of infantry. I threw my cav at physical ranged and my fliers at magic ranged. My infantry would just bulldoze everything after that. It helped a bunch for dealing with that stuff.

I played BL first because they interested me the least and this is the path I ended up on. And yeah, it was tough roping everyone in without NG+ but it is totally doable. Just try and remember that Ferdinand and Caspar are limited to C support pre-skip, so you need Heavy Armor D+ and Brawling C to recruit them.

Caspar, at least, is pretty easy. You can equip a Knolwege Gem and some Rusted gauntlets and get Byleth to a C in brawling in the span of a few battles.

Really the reason I said I wouldn't recommend doing a "recruit everyone" playthrough as your first run is just because I think facing former students as enemies later is compelling. But yeah, it can totally be done on a first playthrough if you really try and is likely pretty satisfying in its own way. Tired Moritz posted:Isnt the golden deer ending happier though? I'm really just taking about minimizing how many potentially playable characters die, not really anything beyond that. If you want a playthrough where the bare minimum of students and knights die, Blue Lions is the route you have to do. Though I guess I don't know about Edelgard's route. If you pick that route I know you can spare Flayn and Seteth in battle. What about the other church characters who leave/don't join? Are any of them required kills? If not, you could achieve a similarly small student/knight body count on Edelgard's route by recruiting everyone, sparing Claude, and avoiding fighting (or having Byleth spare) everyone else who you couldn't recruit. You'd just be killing Dimitri and Dedue instead of Edelgard and Hubert.

And Cyril+Catherine would be almost impossible to not kill considering how dangerous they are and how they spawn on the final map, but if you were playing casual and just rushed Rhea down you don't need to kill them

RBA Starblade posted:How many more gifts do I need to lure these lovely students to my house Not too many. Make sure you're giving them liked gifts when possible and it should only take 6-10 to reach B rank.

You might be able to get away with just killing Dimitri as I read somewhere you get a different ending cutscene to chapter 17 in the BE route if you defeat Dedue before he transforms.

I love the way Byleth emotes, they manage to be pretty expressive for a silent protagonist. In the A support with Annette, you can suggest that she take a nap on her day off, and Byleth even pantomimes falling asleep.

So for a ng+ and shipping, if I only do the A ranks on people I want to ship together, is there no way for them to get a paired ending I don't want? Seeing as I've seen the supports don't really care about missing out on the 3 hit/avoid.

I've promised myself I'm not going to use stride + warp on my next playthrough because they just completely break the intended difficulty of maps in two. That said between the continued ability to completely skip enemy phase and stride/warp, the speedrun is going to be insane.

It'd be nice to see some numbers on the probability of people switching over. Say I've got B support and C in the skill then 15 in the stat - is it like 80% or is it more like 30 or 40? In my current NG+ I recruited Lindhart incredibly fast with only C support, I'm not even sure what stuff he requires because he just agreed instantly. It'd be interesting to learn that was just a 5% chance and I got mega lucky. I guess it'd let you savescum if you felt the need.

i do like three to six skirmishes a month and i never have to worry about money again but then i feel the enemies and formations and poo poo like ballista or monsters with three HP bars are more than obnoxious enough on missions that i can't be hosed with them, so stride/warpskip away
