Yeah personally I am keeping Manuela a Bishop because 2 warps a map is good enough to use up an entire slot. Actually I should give her Stride and make her the token Unit That Gets Left Behind

...Still kinda salty over just how unforgiving the "Villagers drop dead" radius around the boss is in Calamity at Remire. IIRC, I warped Byleth to the white X, or somewhere close to it. The villagers all dropped dead at the end of that turn.

I guess it's possible to get mega RNG hosed on that map or something but I havent had a problem saving them either time. One flier and one archer is enough to handle the right side which is the farthest away

I think you avoid this trigger if you save even a single villager first. Kill the enemy to the right across the wall, and that should rescue the villager in that corner.

How many supports do I have to do before Lorenz becomes someone I don't want to hit with a frying pan. This is my third route and he is such a crappy person. I do not like this weird waluigi man.

Yea I've done that map 4 times and not had any issues, I didn't know there was a trigger! Has anyone used the Hero class? Another male only one and one that just doesn't feel like it fits any character really, unless maybe you take Byleth down axe/sword? It's the only one I've not made any characters into.

Finished my first playthrough (and actually my first Fire Emblem game ever), doing the Black Eagles path loyal to Edelgard and OF COURSE the only character that dies during that whole playthrough in the final battle is my dear Dorothea. Doesn't feel like a win :/ But I'm too interested in the other routes to do the final battle again (which I didn't really enjoy anyway). As someone who never played Fire Emblem before, and is pretty impressed by this game: which other Fire Emblems should I play next? Are they in some way connected, or is it Final Fantasy/Zelda-like, i.e. similar mechanics and maybe a shared universe, but each game is it's own "world"?

Also BL Edelgard last battle I feel is the worst in the game, if only for the squares that are hard to walk on. Man I bet the amount of Western players who 'accidentally' did BL Edelgard first is really high compared to the amount of people who did it in Japan

He never drops the haughty noble bit, but his B supports with Ignatz and Marianne are pretty good, if you ask me. He leaves them feeling genuinely better about themselves. It seems to be a bit of a talent of his, helping people see past their own insecurities.

It’s kind of similar to Final Fantasy but they’ll usually do two games in each setting before moving on to the next one. The games that are most similar to 3H are Echoes (3DS) and Path of Radiance (Gamecube).

Doesn't feel like a win :/ They're like Final Fantasies, yeah, although some are directly connected to each other. None to Three Houses yet, though. As for others in the series, it depends on what you want. I think Awakening's the safest bet going blind, though. Doesn't have the time management stuff, but it's relatively easy on the lower difficulties, the cast is likable, and while the plot is boilerplate it integrates its themes and mechanics in some really clever ways. Path of Radiance is the most similar thematically, though, as mentioned. Might work better for you depending on what you liked.

What am i supposed to do with Marianne? I guess she sorta starts off as a magic user?? She keeps leveling up strenght tho and when i gave her a sword (rank E+) and accidentally deposited her next to the first heavy armor knight i met in the game (i wanted to get one of my anti-armor axe users there but messed up my moves), he attacked her and she almost killed him just through counterattacks. She should've done like 4 damage but instead did 18 to a dude with like 15 armor OTOH she's really way too fragile to send out into a fray... Maybe i prefer the older games where i didn't have to worry about classes on every single unit, it was easier when they all already had their own path predetermined

I mean you can do whatever you want in theory but every character has a pretty specific path they're meant to follow and you can tell by what they have equipped when you first get them.

Anyway, Marianne is very much a caster with 20% STR and 50% MAG growth. She has a minor in swords because she gets a (magic based) relic sword later on and learns Soulblade at C+ swords which a magic attack that increases in Mt based on her resistance. It's really good on her because of her great RES growth. Andrast fucked around with this message at 11:59 on Aug 22, 2019 |

Thanks all for the recommendations! I guess I'll do another playthrough of Three Houses (just started a NG+ with Dimitri), but I have to admit I'll skip a lot of the monastery stuff...as someone already said, it's getting old quite fast. I'll check the mentioned 3Ds ones out, if I am still pumped. I remember getting one for the 3Ds couple of years ago but I somehow lost interest after a very short time....gonna have to check which one that was. I was a bit surprised by the difficulty spike after timeskip in Edelgard route and of course it went on into the final battle. I did a lot of battles before the timeskip, and actually thought I am totally overlevelled, because every battle was super easy, and I also did the fault of mainly using just four or five units all the time, leaving the rest underlevelled. That bit quite hard at the end, but I still can't believe that it was Dorothea that had to die, because she was level 50 or so and a killing machine....up until I wanted to drop that final boss a bit too fast before Catherine gets too close. It's pretty awesome how attached you get to the characters.

I mean it makes sense to say she's a healer but she has more strength than my Caspar at level 10 now and somehow seems to do more damage than my Edelgard sometimes (also has less magic than strength) I dunno what a Gremory is, is that a level 20 class? My highest character is Byleth at 12 i think

HenryEx posted:I mean it makes sense to say she's a healer but she has more strength than my Caspar at level 10 now and somehow seems to do more damage than my Edelgard sometimes Congrats on getting lucky with her STR. Gremory is a master class which is a lvl30 class and the last tier of the classes available. Most of them are various specialists but some are just upgrades over their equivalent advanced classes. Marianne is pretty flexible and she could realistically be built and excel as a Gremory, Dark Knight or Mortal Savant depending on your preferences. Dancer, Holy Knight or just leaving her at Bishop for best healing seem pretty good too. Andrast fucked around with this message at 12:13 on Aug 22, 2019 |

They're not mega important but if you want to use them and you haven't already moved in that direction it makes it more of a faff. Still - while there are more options everyone definitely has a class they're aimed towards.

Yeah master class requirements can kind of blindside you if you haven't looked at them beforehand, especially the various mounted casters. Like you said missing them isn't that big of a deal though. At least most (female) mages will naturally qualify for Gremory since people are probably leveling both reason and faith on them anyway.

Yea you'll get every other enemy unit doing you 0 damage then a flier will roll up and do 30. They'll still often miss my characters but it's strange that it's such a huge gap. It made the Manuela paralogue quite hard for me because the fliers would oneshot her, whereas the other enemies didn't do anything. It's a mystery.

Why would people leve both of those on the women specifically? I probably won't have any female mages anyway, now that i think about it. I'm about to bench Dorothea for good for being absolutely terrible. After ten levels in a row of 2 point level-ups with only a single magic up and none in health, my breaking point has been reached. She doesn't even have the saving grace of being interesting to hang out with like Bernie. edit: wait i guess there's still Annette. I forgot about her because she turned out to be so good with the axe that she doesn't register as a mage in my mind

I built Annette to be a dancer because I couldn't recruit Mercedes on time. I forgot she has multiple rally abilities. Also; I think Catherine is the worst person in the playable cast. Casper B support. I will do anything for Lady Rhea. I will murder children! Uh...I think child murder is bad. What if the children have guns? What then Mr. moral guy? Uhhhh... See, ain't so easy is it. That's why I outsource my morals. Let Lady Rhea deal with that poo poo. Or Shamir Rank B I just don't get the whole Rhea and goddess thing.
