Wow these mages in Hubert's paralogue sure are some of the most suicidal morons I've ever seen in FE. Am I expected to every possible warp, rescue, physic, etc. user here or what?

Finished Blue Lions and that sure was a final boss.

Moving onto golden deer as my final of the main 3 routes and I have decided that since I was denied being a punch woman I will be a punch man. But also so will literally every male on my team. All of the girls will be mortal savants

There is absolutely no way this can go wrong or backfire.

If it's for specific weeks, maybe because apparently you need C rank Hubert support to get Eldegard inviting you to her coronation

I kinda want to try to master Brawler/grappler/warmaster on a m.byleth (but not use fists), and then use fists on a f.byleth.

Cornelia is Famous for having stopped a plague a long time ago and being ennobled as a result. You learn this in the Ramirez village plague chapter. You later learn that she is a plant from TWS in the kingdom, and she might have been the one creating said plague she stopped.

Edelgard decides to siege that place in secret (she tells everyone she goes to the capital instead) because she really wants to skank the bitch, knowing she is part of TWS and suspecting some of what she did.

It also lets her force TWS's hand somewhat without declaring open war. They have to act, but they can't seriously act against her, giving her a chance to see their limits.

Okay, so I haven't played Golden Deer yet for context on Claude's character as a whole, and I might be way off base and reading too much into things, but (Edelgard's paralogue) I got suspicious when it was revealed at the end of the chapter that Count? Goneril was specifically suffering from a gastrointestinal malady. Between Claude's apparent connection to Almyra and his affinity for poisons, to me it seemed to be subtly implying that Claude orchestrated that whole scenario as a way to get Edelgard to defend the Throat, thus earning the good graces of the Alliance populace and smoothing over the transition of power, which sort of plays into the whole "having a plan for if he loses" thing. Or I guess if Nader wins then that throws a big wrench in Edelgard's plans, which is probably good for Claude... somehow. Anyway, I think it's a pretty legit scheme if it's true, so for now I'm willing to buy Claude as a schemer.

I took that as Hubert planning the whole thing when I played it. But if Claude has a history with fun guys I guess that makes sense too.

they can be really useful baiting swordmasters and assassins post-timeskip, since those often have more than enough speed to double and one-round a huge chunk of your roster

This is probably the first time I'd like to do Lunatic, the game has so much customization depth that is like absolutely not necessary I'd like to spend a route getting super into. What's the best route for a Lunatic playthrough? I was thinking Church route but you miss out on some recruiting and customization stuff

I'm going to do Golden Deer for my Lunatic run I think. Church route would mean you won't have a cool house leader unit because Edelgard leaves on that route.

Don't you get Rhea as a leader unit instead?

I've never actually played that route (so far just GD and partway through the BE-E) so I don't know for sure, but that's what I hear/assume!

Yeah, you need to go with her during an exploration that minty or you're stuck on the church route.

Going with her opens up the option to choose.

I blame myself but I'm probably just never gonna do the Edelgard route now since I'm not replaying the start of this game more than 4 times.

And yeah I stopped talking to everyone all the time since this is my 3rd run through of the pre time skip bit and the monastery gets real old real fast.

I didn't to start with. There are a lot of them, and most of the things they say aren't very interesting.

It was only through sheer good luck that I found the Edelgard thing on my own. I just wanted to invite her to tea, and instead she dragged me into that. Very rude of her.
