Cattail Prophet posted:Just finished Hubert's paralogue. It was a really fun fight, but I'm almost disappointed that you only need to save half the green units to get the reward. I had to pull off some pretty big brained plays to keep them all alive. I have a general dislike for levels that amount to "run your fastest units to the opposite side of the map as fast as you can, hopefully before the braindead AI kills itself", but the goddamn wizards in that stage are actively suicidal on top of being flimsy as paper. I only managed to save a single one, with a well-timed heal. The map didn't see fit to give me any reward at all for my brave efforts... which of course didn't stop the cutscene from referencing it anyway...

So, a question about stats and recruiting. Are the stats your recruited students come with 'locked' so that no matter the game they have specific stats at level 11 or so on, or are they rolled? and if they are rolled, when? when they accept being recruited?rannum posted:No, it's a separate option

A lot of Manuela's support with the students is just them yelling at how amazing she is to them and the rest with the teachers/staff/knights are just "girl, you're a disaster."

Dorothea does more to ground the game's narrative than any other character by like a loving mile to the point where not having her around arguably makes the plot worse.

That's how she's introduced too. And Manuela... Also as much as I hate the Bernadetta voice in Japanese I like the other ones! Especially Alois. He might have my favourite.

I loved how in my Golden Deer run when we were gearing up to invade the imperial capital, Dorothea made a point of asking Byleth to try and keep the damage contained to the noble quarters of town  Of course this was a two turn warpskip map but still drat if I was hoping I made good on her request

so I just got to The Battle of Gronder Field, Part 2 in Golden Deer, and I have to say, why the gently caress isn't this in all of the routes??? It's such a good callback!! e: on a related note, warping Felix + a high critical hit sword into a crowd of fortress knights is hilarious. it was like something out of an anime Blaziken386 fucked around with this message at 12:42 on Aug 13, 2019 |

Chocolate Bunny posted:It's in Blue Lions idk about church route. Church route is the only route that does not get it and its such a wet fart! The chapter starts on you having a meeting with Seteth and Flayn, and then someone bursts in to tell you "HEY THERE WAS A BIG BATTLE AT GRONDER FIELD, DIMITRI'S DEAD, CLAUDE'S GONE MISSING AND EDELGARD'S TAKEN HEAVY DAMAGE!" And then your crew figures its time to take the offensive against the Empire, I think. I just did the battle last night on the BL route and holy poo poo its so cool that it makes me even madder that Church route gets shafted so hard.

ChaosArgate posted:Church route is the only route that does not get it and its such a wet fart! So far it feels like both BEagles routes (church and Edelgard) suffer from dev time being split between them. Not that the other routes aren't without flaws, but it really sticks out to me. RIP Dimitri, getting a rubbish offscreen death again.

Early on in my Blue Lions run, I can already tell Dedue is going to be insanely good. His personal ability is hilarious in the early game and I'm sure once he becomes a Fortress Knight he'll be outright invincible. I can also tell that Ashe and Ingrid are going to be total coin flips as to whether they turn out good or not.

Almost identical growths except he has a way worse personal skill. Ingrid's goodness basically depends if she can hit her STR growths after hitting advanced classes (Wyvern Rider fixes it really well). Even if she doesn't she's easily fixed with a few STR boosters as her other growths are solid. Andrast fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Aug 13, 2019 |

Pretty sure Ingrid would need to be really unlucky to be anything but a monster. Might need to give her a few STR boost, maybe, but her stupid high speed and decent other stats means she is all but invincible. Just have to remember to either put her as a Paladin (good STR growth, Aegis) or Assassin (insane Speed and good Dex growth) in her advanced classes before getting her Falcon Knight. Also, I asked this before, but does anyone knows how the stats of the students you recruit are decided?

I had Ingrid go like nine levels early on with no strength points, gave her the two or three str boosters i had laying around in convoy and she still did fine I'm trying to get used to having so many flyers on this BL run (Seteth, Cyril, Ingrid, Hilda). I haven't had more than two in any of my other runs lol

Fwiw I sent Ashe through Thief for the better growths, then went back through Archer with a knowledge gem to get Hit Rate +20 e: I also had him in Assassin for a couple levels, weird route but made him great ROFL Octopus fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Aug 13, 2019 |

Do Armor Knights just kinda suck? Low movement, and not that great of dmg output. I guess for tanking dmg they're worth but they could have some sort of aggro ability. What's the word on dlc btw, any news? On Golden Deer postskip I managed to keep Ashe alive when he showed up on a map, but I didn't get a chance to recruit him. I thought by cornering him and not kill him he would join me.. nope

You definitely want Dedue to have Quick Riposte from War Master (master ability that gets certain second attack when an enemy attacks and you have >50% life). Main issue is that he will get punted by anyone using magic attacks, but I guess enemies using combat arts to deal magic damage is fairly rare in the game? Honest Thief posted:Do Armor Knights just kinda suck? Low movement, and not that great of dmg output. I guess for tanking dmg they're worth but they could have some sort of aggro ability. Armor Knight have super high base defence, so certifying into the class improves the defence of most of your characters that uses axes (very useful). Apart from that they do get poo poo growth yeah, so it's not worth the temporary +4 defence the class itself has. Arkeus fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Aug 13, 2019 |

Beat the game on Golden Deer route last night - first FE I bothered to make it to the end of, and first game in a while that I'm excited to restart as soon as I've finished. Next playthrough is gonna be Black Eagles, and I'm going to pay a lot more attention to people's classes and plan for their growth from the outset instead of winging it.HOTLANTA MAN posted:I'd rather they just remove cyril from the game because his character sucks rear end Cyril owns.

Speaking of Blue Lions: any tips for what to do with Sylvain? Is it worth training up his heavy armor for Great Knight or would he be okay just chilling as a Paladin? I noticed his budding talent points him towards Dark Knight but his magic growth is nothing special. ROFL Octopus posted:I’m gonna miss Dedue so much.

Wyvern Lord needs two out of his three strengths so as long as I start working on his flying early he should get there no problem. I was considering making Byleth a Wyvern Lord this time, too, since I used his personal class almost exclusively last run. Could be fun having a lot of flyers between Wyvern Lord Byleth, Sylvain, Seteth, and Ingrid.
