and I am not mad at all because they are both invincible with defense ~35

Did you keep them as commoner/nobles or something? level 25 means they should be either Grappler or Warrior, and those would raise your speed to 14.

I just got the game, last FE game I played was Fire Emblem Awakening

Are there any major benefit to scanning a Fire Emblem amiibo?

What's the benefit of going online?

Cavs are awful in stat growths because they have -10% in speed, and the usual cav people don't have exceptional speed growth.

Sylvain and Ferdinand von Aegir actually do have a pretty exceptional speed growth of 50% each (better than Byleth, very slightly), you just don’t want to make them mounted until Paladin.

I could see a use for Subdue in Echoes where you needed to get enemy Delthea to 1HP before she either kills one of your guys or suicides onto another

Here, though? :shrug: like I even made Dimitri a thief throughout levels 10-20 to patch up his speed (and he’s finally started delivering there)

Lord doesn’t have a good mastery or growths and is pretty much just a shameful intermediate class.

Maybe Dimitri won’t have anything else to do and won’t want to tank his speed in Cavalier, but the other lords don’t want anything to do with the class.

If you can, make Brigand for intermediate. Lords have the advantage of not worrying about advanced/master class, so Claude/Dimitri should all beeline to Brigand for Deathblow.

Weight -3 is from C rank Heavy Armor. Armor Knight gets Armored Blow which imo isn’t too useful.

They really do have to worry about advanced/master classes. I made the mistake of putting her in Lord and training sword for a bit (but not enough to get close to A), and then suddenly she was level 25 lord pre timeskip because her Axe was too low for the better classes.

They can beeline to Brigand for Deathblow or Mercenary for Vantage (or I guess Archer for Hit +20)though, but they should keep using their own types of weapons. Though Claude going Axe for getting Wyvern Rider is not a bad idea at all.

My Dimitri is probably gonna be too low of a sword or Lance rank for the advanced classes he has to take a certification for but as far as I’m concerned so long as he shows up in his advanced lord class post timeskip it’s all good

Isn't it also a sword class, when it's not really the natural weapon for any of the Lords, for a change?

Also I totally missed that it even exists until like the 3rd playthrough.

None of your archers should be getting hit anyway so the healing isn't very relevant.

Also, let's be honest, how is a straight upgrade to a brave bow medioce?

It’s D+ Swords and C Authority so it’s ridiculously easy to pass for the class. Lord just isn’t very good though.

Sometimes the yield increases when you go to harvest the next time you explore so it’s probably worth it

I kinda regretted making Dimitri a Lord for 10 levels, but then again I was going in semi blind and didn't know about Brigand and Death Blow at the time

Charm is a pretty good innate, though, and it was pretty nice early on to help hitting ORKO thresholds (especially with fists)

She might not since Bernie's STR growt is pretty low. She can easily get screwed on it.

The inexhaustible isn't even really better than a regular brave bow. It has a bit more hit, +1 mt and weights 2 less but can't be forged.

One thing Lord has going for it is that it's really effective when it comes to levelling up authority early on, iirc.

2SPD, increased hit and bigger Mt is actually pretty drat good. It's not the best bow possible for Bernie, but it's very very close.

Yeah the Authority boost is deffo good with how OP battalions are, no argument there.

On The Inexhaustible though, a Brave Bow+ is identical except for having 1 more weight, but 10 more uses in exchange. Wootz Steel is considerably more plentiful than Mythril too, when it comes time to repair the weapons. The Inexhaustible potentially negating Bernie’s completely off the chain personal just isn’t worth it in the end.

If you forge the brave bow the only thing The Inexhaustible has over it is -1 weight and a detrimental healing effect. The brave bow is easier to repair and has more uses too.

Okay, but unless Bernie is literally your only bow user, which she isn't because you need Leonie to get Inexhaustible in the first place, plus Shamir is a free recruit and comes with A in bows out of the box, why wouldn't you just give someone else Inexhaustible and have Bernie use a bow that doesn't render her excellent personal skill useless? It's not like there's a shortage of normal brave bows to give out, I'm pretty sure I had something like 4 or 5 by the end, and maybe 1 of those was through forging.
