I mean that’s actually a pretty rad idea to get use out of Flayn if you’re not deploying her. Armor Knights are the best stat backpacks and that works out to a hilarious buff

Looking over the linked attack list, there's oddities beyond Dorothea/Hilda and Marianne/Bernie having linked attacks when they can't support each other. There's a surprisingly long list of characters with no linked attacks whatsoever:

Ashe
Lysithea
Petra
Caspar
Linhardt
Hanneman
Cyril
Anna
Hapi
Constance

I can only assume that Bernie gets one because otherwise the BEagles only have like four members with linked attacks. Why don't Caspar/Linhardt get a link?

That or Casper knows he would have to basically break their limbs and just ram them into Linhardt's attack to get him to do something like that so he doesn't even bother.

In my present game, I'm trying an experiment: archer Lorenz. So far, it's working out okay. He has a higher base STR growth than Ashe/Ignatz/Bernie, much better durability, and an actually pretty good trait. No bow strength, but he has strengths in lance and riding to help him towards bow knight. And Lorenz being Lorenz, there's a good chance he'll be able to make decent use of the magic bow in part two.

Also I've been trying Rea's suggestion of brawling Dimitri in my current game. Unsurprisingly, it's effective because Dimitri is a wrecking ball if his growths live up to their potential, and brawling is, frankly, overpowered. Very much a case of 'stick the most effective weapon type on probably the game's best physical character, the results are as expected."

Still, for me it highlights again how awkward Dimitri's class progression is. What he fundamentally wants thematically, the game just isn't selling - a lance focused class that doesn't shank his speed. As a guy he's barred from the pegasus knight line, the cavalry classes tank his speed, and his axe weakness plus not being able to tutor him for half of part two makes getting Dimitri into wyvern lord a chore (I've done it, mind). His MAG is bad and his spell list isn't worth it, so the dark knight or holy knight options for a mixed attacker (like how Edelgard, and arguably Sylvain, Ingrid, and Lorenz are set up to potentially be) aren't appealing.

It's hard to get a bad Dimitri, unless his growths fail you, but similar to how Edelgard is conspicuously lacking the ability to use magic in her unique part two classes, his character design simply feels incomplete.

Yeah, Jeritza did nothing wrong.

...okay maybe he did some wrong things AFTER he killed his dad, but killing his dad who wanted to forcibly marry his sister was 100% the right move.

He did less wrong after that than some people assume. People make a big deal of the "There are rumors of someone prowling the streets and attacking innocents, night after night" line, but forget the second bit of that very sentence: "The knights have investigated the matter. They have not discovered any remains, nor have they found any concrete evidence." Rather than 'he was murdering innocents night after night, but also never leaving any evidence' it seems more 'he was spotted in Death Knight garb and rumors blew up'.

These videos aren't new, so maybe people know about them already, but I've been enjoying watching this guy play through Golden Deer Maddening:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj6vdnzLack

He's doing the opposite of an NTC basically. Like, he's squeezing every bit of experience and skill points out of every map.

Video 18 especially (Sothis's paralogue) where he gets the knowledge gem and then proceeds to kill all the monsters while passing the gem to each unit on their turn is a trip.


It can be very tedious if you're not into watching someone micromanage every move they do (he tends to divine pulse every time one of his units gets a crit since it often messes up his plans) but if you like seeing that sort of thing, it's pretty neat.

I just got a switch and played this for the first time, and beat the game going down the Edelgard route. Also beat the dlc.

I think I'm going to do a Golden Deer run next. Any suggestions as to who to recruit for story reasons? I don't care so much about gameplay power.

Nobody has a specifically strong tie to the Deer stuff - if you're buying back high professor level, I'd recommend using some of your extra time on eating with 1 of your students + 1 other who has a support with them and see if there's any character dynamics you like.

Balthus from the wolves. Petra because she's got unique supports with Claude that you can't get on other routes.

Seconding Petra and Balthus who were recommended above.

I would also consider Linhardt for his supports with Marianne and Lysithea, plus he opens up a paralogue with Leonie later in the game.

Cyril and Shamir also have a decent number of supports with GD members.

Today is also the day I learned that most (all?) characters have a unique set of critical hit quotes if they're critting a named enemy.

It was Byleth hitting the CF final boss in the face with a Sublime Heaven crit and the line "Here's your answer!" Ice cold.

They all do. A few notable ones for the other lords:

Dimitri: You should have run.

Claude: Take your final bow!

Seteth: You chose poorly.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

I’m putting this thought into the world with the hopes that, like fairy magic, if enough people believe in it I will summon it into being:

They should make a Fire Emblem Warriors sequel with Three Houses like they did with Hyrule Warriors and Breath of the Wild. Just go full fan-fic with the story, have someone go back in time to the beginning of 3H in order to prevent the houses severing and pulling everyone onto the same team to fight both Rhea and the Slytherins. Someone pointed out to me that the team who made 3H made FEH as well so you’ve got the experience and so many of the assets pre-made. You’d have to make some maps obviously but you’ve got all of the characters for a Warriors game and various classes, plus working knowledge of the engine. I’d rather see this than a true sequel honestly.

I think it'd be more interesting to do a bunch of splintered timelines that branched off rather than have you play through a 'Golden' route like the mini splits in the original Hyrule Warriors.

Have us fight through a world where Claude beat Edelgard to the punch and stole the Sword of the Creator first and started a Fodlan/Almyra hellwar

One where Edelgard died with the rest of her siblings and you have a way too in over his head Ferdinand desperately leading an insurgency against his father in the Empire who have otherwise conquered the continent with Lysithea as their pawn instead

One where the Lions don't follow Dimitri suicidally and you reorganize the war by following how it plays out with them following Felix.

You recruit different units from all the failed timeline branches like that and finish with a stage or two of the Golden route where you have everyone working together against the Slytherins/OG time bad guys or whatever.
