Zerker ededgard is bad compared to fortress, you need a tank. Just give her a non axe to handle any assassins.

Jade Mage posted:People are sleeping on fortress knight Edelgard. Both DLC missions 1 and 2 I can plunk her down in choke points and grind the chaff mercilessly against her shield. So far my incredibly slow and steady playstyle was only complicated by one scythe wielding nutcase popping into the centre of my formation and me having to put him down before he gets to move. Yeah fortress edelgard has sucked at hurting anything (nice sub-40 hit chances, edelgard) but when most enemies fail to do more than 1-2 damage to her (or crit for 3-6) it really takes a load off, while constance, claude, and hapi pick off everything via canto (and sometimes Ashe too)

https://twitter.com/DeathChaos25/status/1228138246347067395 Interesting. It seems that the entire playable cast have data in Cindered Shadows, but are left "unrecruited" so you can't access them. Out of the list, the most striking is Manuela, as she starts as an Assassin (her enemy class if unrecruited in the main game), but still has Priest and Bishop on hand. Maybe she was going to be part of the playable CS roster at one point in time?

Wait wait wait Manuela can be an enemy? On what routes? And does this also go for the other church characters recruitable on any route?

indigi posted:I had to restart mission 2 twice so far and still haven't beat it First enemy phase, Aura crit on Hapi. That was just evil. Anyway, if you're still stuck, reuniting the teams went a long way towards making things easier. I retreated the Wolves from the central platform during the second wave, then took it back with the entire team before the third. Spoiler for fourth enemy phase: Didn't beat the Death Knight, because I'd run out of Divine Pulses and it was past Lysithea's bed time. I figured Byleth just rolled their eyes and told the Ashen Wolves to ignore the guy, he'll go away eventually. Anybody complaining about having too many Divine Pulses, this is the DLC for you. With all the surprises the maps like to throw at you, there's not even enough pulses to cover them all.

Manuela and Hanneman do show up as enemies on CF if you dont recruit them, so I guess they only decide edelgard is right if byleth doesn't. Maybe they just really hate byleth for snubbing them.

Zore posted:How is it contradicted by any Crimson Flower ending? They're talking about the Edelgard/Lysithea ending which says they "both dedicated the rest of their lives to Fodlan's rule", implying Edelgard doesn't hand the throne over to a chosen successor as she elsewhere says she will. This is the only ending that does this and happens to be the one that Cythereal got, reinforcing their preconceived notion of "Edelgard is a terrible liar" lol. iirc two of Edelgard's endings do mention handing the throne to a successor (Hubert and her solo ending) while the rest don't say anything about it. I'm curious what the Edelgard/Lysithea ending says in Japanese because a lot of the endings had significant enough changes in localisation and I could see that sort of inconsistency creeping in there. Otherwise I'm willing to just call this bad, inconsistent writing rather than proof Edelgard is a dishonest power-hungry schemer desperately clinging onto power.

She can work in politics without being the emperor

the 'rule' bit definitely seems like something that could be slipped in in translation. If the original says something like they both kept working in politics or both kept working to improve Fodlan it'd be easy for a translator to go 'oh, Edelgard is the empress' and put in 'rule' there. A lot of game translation is done with minimal context, and different branches of the games dialogue (supports, endings, teatime conversations) were probably done by different people. You can see that sort of inconsistency pop up in other FE games, like how the name of Pegasi/Wyverns often change around if they're referenced multiple times.

I know there are parts of that ending card that are mistranslated, but I can't remember the details beyond the specific line I've committed to memory. EDIT: Actually, looking at the ending, "new Adrestian emperor" is probably referring to Edelgard's successor anyway. Why would Edelgard be referred to as the new emperor after 6 years?

Jeus christ cindered shadows on hard does not gently caress around. I just beat Ch. 4 on the last turn of the limit, with no divine pulses left (spent all those about halfway through the map,) and with the enemy in hot pursuit the entire time. I had so many close calls there I still can't believe I actually won with no casualties. And there's so many reinforcements!!! This is definitely the kind of difficulty I enjoy in fire emblem though. I'm really happy with this DLC so far.

These DLC missions are really dang hard. It's strange but welcome that they've pulled a Lost Levels and just continued the difficulty curve from the end of the regular game. I've only finished the 4th mission, but all of them save for the 1st took me over an hour and burned up all my pulses halfway through. I've got mixed feelings on the more varied styles of maps so far. I appreciate them trying something new, but a lot of the enemy reinforcements feel kind of cheap.

Endorph posted:'This contradicts the rest of the game.' More like the discourse never loving ending because no one can take criticism of a character who’s meant to be both right and wrong standing down. The whole point of the game is that none of the main lords are wrong, but they aren’t entirely right either, in both their methods and beliefs. And yet, this thread dissolves into “Edelgard was right.” and “ok but Edelgard gay.” constantly. That said gently caress Rhea.
