Anyone have any class recommendations besides the obvious upgrades? I liked playing with the classes in 3H a lot but these seem a little more oblique to me. Any neat combos like turning Edelgard into a wyvern rider kinda thing? I don't think I like this as much as Three Houses but I am really enjoying it. Edit: Also, is time passing still a problem? On the Divine Paralogue thing it says stuff like "20 turns will pass elsewhere" or something like that, do I need to care that I'm missing events or something offscreen?

I am pretty sure the 20 turn elsewhere is just saying it is a long and involved map since it is in the palce where other maps list thier reccomended level and the dlc map(s) rise to match your progress instead of having a fixed level

I don't think I understand bond rings. Should I just be burning my bong crystals to make 10 random rings at a time?

I think bond rings are mostly for the period of the game when you don't have enough emblems for each character you are fielding and while some give unique skills when equiped (Sothe S rank has Bane for example). An actual emblem is probably better most of the time and since bond crystal can be used to level up emblem bond without fielding them I rolled the 10 roll a couple of times in the begining of the game and then saved my crystals for bond level up.

Appropriately enough dogs seem like the best animals, since they give you more forging materials. Got a fish from cats and otherwise animals give you the food you'd expect.cheetah7071 posted:while obviously you do what you need to do to access classes, Marth is going to be somewhat hampered on an archer because one of his better skills only activates when you break an enemy And Lightning Speed seems to be either melee-only or Sword only, yeah. Lyn might be better whenever she shows up, if she has both swords and bows, but Marth seems to be the evasion-focused sword Emblem and that's probably what Etie needs. FrickenMoron posted:Don't you lose out on 10 potential levelups still? With Second Seals, you always have more room to level, so you can't ever "lose out" on levels. It's just a matter of how much money it'll cost to get them.

Big problem is I've heard game is stingy with money if you don't grind. Granted, it's probably a cost/bonus based on how much EXP you get, how good the bonuses are, how much you need extra stats now... Specially if you're like my Alear who refuses to gain any STR, I'm half temoted to give him an Energy Drop.

My Etie keeps getting MVP on every map I field her. She’s got so much strength that any flier does if they sneeze in her direction. Fielding both her and Alcryst made him look even worse. She’s a walking ballista.

It sounds from this thread like the game is pretty fun and more of a traditional Fire Emblem experience with limited available classes, exp and money, but the ability to do emergency grinding? I think I'm gonna get it this weekend.

Not all of the character designs hit for me but I appreciate how they went all out. Like, the outfit made of multicolor bubbles rules? I also think hitting 'saturday morning cartoon' tonally makes the home base castle way less off putting than it was in Fates

This is so much more punishing than 3H I'm considering going down to Normal. I've been stuck on Ch.5 today and I have no idea how I'm supposed to take hits in this one. Even avoiding any matchups where I'd get broken I feel like the enemies hit twice as hard as I do for anyone but Engaged Alear or Céline doing Warp Ragnarok. Everything else requires 3 actions to delete an enemy and with just Framme around for healing I'm losing on attrition big time. I gave my Sigurd Ring to Alfred and... All that means is he can zip face first into things without even catching that thief because he dies if I send him that way without backup, which is too slow anyway. Any goons able to give me some pointers here?

Give the Sigurd Ring to Louis and just tank everything with him (except mages). head left with everyone and don't be afraid to use the healing items instead of just staff healing. With Louis having the sigurd ring you can easily zip through the entire enemy line or just body block the thief.

Give Sigurd to Louis instead. Watch in awe as he destroys everything on his own. e;fb

You can leave the gate closed until you've completely cleaned up the left side of the map if you want, or if you do open it early you can bait out individual unit groups and overwhelm them with numbers while you slowly crawl forward.

I never opened the gate, I just moved everyone to the left side and broke the rubble and funneled the enemies into a grinder.

My guess after Ch6 so far (dont spoil please): Dragon mom isn't our actual mom at all. We were the evil red hair Alear but she spent 1000 years trying to "purify" us thats why we have the mixed red/blue hair

I'm guessing she's Alear's actual mum but dad is evil dragon and Alear has the potential to be like either of them and 1000 years ago they were definitely more like Dad.

I did enjoy (spoilers through Ch 3) Marth's response to Alear's question about "what was I like back then?" being "uh... don't worry about it"

I mean Alear's dad is obviously the evil dragon. I'm not even going to spoiler that because I have no textual reason to believe it; I'm hoping it'll turn out to be something more mundane like dragon parthenogenesis or their dad being a plain ol' human but lmao fat chance it'll be anything other than the most anime option

trials give the hard death quote when people drop, but no one actually dies as a heads up. they're also kind of bastards and some romhack rear end bullshit for some of these quote="Syrnn" post="529266203"] This is so much more punishing than 3H I'm considering going down to Normal.

Any goons able to give me some pointers here? [/quote] The early game is rough. Your crew is small and the twins aren't great, Vander needs to be replaced when possible, and while Chloé and Louis bothexist they can't do eeeeverything. Five in particular is a hard chapter, but after that you get more crew, more options, and your own cast will probably start getting reasonably powerful. I recommend using your energy drop, the +2 strength, on Chloé to fully get her online off her drab pegasus starting stats. Give Siggy to either her or Louis, you can level the bond up in the arena in Sominel (probably, it might not be open yet) if you need big stat boost for them. You don't need to rush the thief, he'll rifle through chests and wander towards the map exit on the west, yeah, but that takes like six turns. Take your time.

Oh yeah, absolutely, the game isn't subtle about that (Ch6 spoilers) Between Veyle looking for her sibling (who is absolutely Alear), the evil redheaded flashbacks and Zephia saying Lumera never had progeny Alear is 100% Sombron's kid/an unrelated evil dragon who was mindwiped into being good. ...gently caress, I just realized Veyle's stone could be Alear's dragonstone if dragons still need one on this setting.

Clanne feels like one of the best characters in the earlygame tbh. Even if that is just because he is a mage fast enough to double a lot of dudes.

Almost all concerns in early game can be remedied by remembering that Alear has Camilla's personal skill and you should always try to position your units to take advantage of it
