If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

the "designated" mages of the other two houses are annete/mercedes and lysithea/marianne, which is what I assume people mean

black eagles tho it's the bois and hubert is a cool and rad natural dark mage.

Lack of Gremory is a shame, though, but at least dark knight is highly mobile?

...Hubert with a feather boa is an interesting mental image.

I made Lorenz a black mage on the way to his dark knight run so I just keep swapping him between magic and lances, though Leonie is currently my Lance/Bow cavalier.

Lorenz reminds me of Anthony Carver in that his front is so perfect that people assume he's an evil robot because he can't really emote or show vulnerability.

He honestly seems really stressed about the whole wife thing because he's basically expecting himself to complete a major diplomatic alliance that's also a personal sexual triumph, at 17. But he won't ever act like it's a big deal to him or like he might fail, so the impression people receive is that he's a smarmbot who thinks women are lining up to suck his signet ring.

Hubert is a very good mage and Linhardt is an excellent healer but the lack of Gremory for male mages sucks.

If anything the DLC should just unlock all classes for everyone screw this genderlocked class bullshit. Let Hubert be a pegapony princess.

Don't under-estimate Dorothea, she is quite the magical powerhouse too. Eldegard is also the only Lord you can take the magical route without issue. 45 magical growth is definitely acceptable.

Edelgard's 45 is in fact higher than Dorothea's MAG growth (40).

Dorothea makes up for having only ok growths by having a fantastic spell list. Thoron, Meteor and Agnea's arrow. Physic for offhealing too.

On my third run after 2 Black Eagles I'm now doing the Blue Lions.

Pretty sure the weakest cast out of the three so far. Sylvain might be the worst piece of trash out there. I thought Sain from FE7 was bad but this guy takes it to a whole new level.

My Dimitri had 6 speed over my Felix at end game and could double end game enemy sword masters if he was using Iron.

Gonna see how this class is going to come together since I'm relying heavily on lances this time.
Felix is going to punch people to death because Caspar was an absolute beast using fists last run.
Drafted Lysithea, Hilda and Bernadetta. Gonna see if I can draft even more people before the big class battle starts. Should be fun to see the other classes having to rely on generics.

Hubert's only disadvantage is that he can't be a Gremory. His advantage is that he's literally the only unit in the game who can make proper use of Dark Mage and Dark Bishop.

He's a legit excellent mage all around. Sure, he can't be a Gremory, but he really doesn't need to be. Teach him Lances and Riding and let him be the edgy Dark Knight he was born to be.

The thing is that Lys has a much better spell list. By a million miles.
It's why Byleth isn't a great caster, his actual spell list is boring and crap.

Going by bases and growths, Leonie is Better Ashe, which is depressing because Ashe is my homeboy.

Having committed that sin myself by only recruiting Annette in my GD run, I agree. I should be in jail. I didn't make them fight each other or even attack Mercedes though so I hope my sentence is lenient.

Similarly, I feel like you shouldn't recruit either Felix or Sylvain and Ingrid separately. Ingrid wouldn't join a house other than Dimitri's unless it was to keep an eye on one of her idiot friends (trusting Dimitri to watch the other).
