I promoted Lapis to Hero asap since a fast axe is useful and she was better at it than Boucheran while retaining swords. Are Rosado's base stats horrible? I looked at his growths, 75% hp/45% str/45% spd is like the highest average I've seen.

I feel like the later characters being better statistically is mostly counterbalanced by (Chapter 10-11) the fact that none of them are going to have Canter for a long, long time. Even if Kagetsu has better stats than Diamant, Canter makes Diamante better for every map where Sigurd still isn't available. RIP everyone who didn't get the 1000 SP before that chapter, though, and since characters get way more SP with Engage Rings than Bond Rings it's pretty easy to fall short if you aren't spreading them around.

This game has some really weird throwbacks. Like Lyn's paralogue isn't a map reference to FE7, it's a reference to... The Bow of the Winds, a gaiden chapter from FE6. Which I mean, yeah it does take place in Sacae, but still.

Everything about Lyn is Intsys tripping themselves over a suddenly popular character from 6 years ago because of the west, and then proceed to never let her touch a sword again since her debut unit in FEH

Rosado's fine, he wasn't an instant all star in his joining map but he's been a solid contributor since and ended up the low key MVP of 17.

Pureauthor posted:'You mean the face of the game when FE made its international debut ended up being extremely popular?!' says the shocked pikachu They probably expected Hector/Eliwood. Just a shame that part of the reason why people loved Lyn is forever banished forever apparently and she's just a bow user. edit: Lucina also being a bow lord is weird, because she doesn't even use bows in her advance class, she uses lances. And we have a huge dearth of lance lords otherwise, it's so bizarre.

Which is fine I suppose, there's no primary bow lord otherwise.

Honestly, back on the topic of Lapis, I think that myrmidon-type units are completely fine in this game. Dodge tanking is perhaps the best it's ever been--the math is a little less friendly than it was in the GBA days, but having rewinds means that it's much more acceptable to take a like 10% chance of failure on a big enemy phase than it was back then. A high speed unit with a marth-engraved weapon (or micaiah, but -3 mt is rough) and avoid +10 from marth is routinely face sub-30 hit rates even from the most accurate weapons, and get less accurate weapons all the way down to zero. As long as your strength isn't abysmal, you can patch up iffy strength with a +3 forge pretty easily, which isn't particularly expensive. And tbh I feel like against promoted enemies, everybody has issues one-rounding, and at least the speedster can reliably double and fish for a crit with a killer weapon. It's a good game for myrmidons, imo

I liked Lapis' design and decided sure I'm going to user her, and then like a chapter after she showed up the game dropped Diamant in my lap who was also a sword user but better across the board. This made me actually mad gently caress you game I do what I want so Diamant is permanently benched and I am dragging Lapis to endgame. Funnily enough she was pretty weak until level ~15 or so when suddenly she got back to back to back to back to back level ups that included STR and SPD, and now after promotion she's skyrocketed to one of my absolute best units. Also Yunaka was my first unit to hit level 20 and this is how I found out thieves work off PoR rules and cannot promote, although at least they can go past level 20 here. She's still an absolute beast and daggers are low key the best weapon type to forge because the stats go nuts, so I'm actually fine with it.

Only at chapter 8 but Lapis could double a decent amount of units in her first map so that puts her ahead of a good amount of people in my army.

Also most of the supports in this game are phoned in filler garbage but I am really enjoying Lapis' gimmick of being Fire Emblem MacGyve with the ability to build Etie a total body workout machine from discarded driftwood and twine.

Anybody had success using the Greatswords/lances/axes as of yet? I wasen't super impressed with them in their introductory chapter and it just kinda feels like if i wanted to break the enemy i would just use a regular weapon to cancel out out taking any damage at all instead of having to eat a hit.

In regards to General movement... I just gave Louis the first pair of Boots I found and 5 move is good enough, especially since I also gave him Advance and Canter so he can better reposition even without Sigurd. And Smash weapons are for Generals too. Louis ain't doubling poo poo anyways and nothing non magical can hurt him, so might as well give him the biggest single hit possible.

Smash can break armored units, if you ever need to disarm one. It's also good for bullying bow units, and the higher tier versions do pretty stupid damage to compensate for the drawback. I haven't found much use for them but I'm sure it's there.

I like that people on reddit make threads about "3 Houses or Engage, which do you prefer" 3 days after the game launches and most people won't have even finished it once.

Smashing is useful for letting you actually take damage, which lets your healers but especially Micaiah level up faster. It also did save my butt in chapter 10 where Hortensia attacked from an awkward position on the two tile wide flier zone so only one physical attack could reach her. Chloe managed to fly behind her and push her over. That still wasn't enough to prevent Louis from dying, but I had Boucheron on the opposite end of the map use Great Sacrifice for the first time, letting Framme Guard him. Hooray! Game fun

Boucheron of all people haas been blessed with great level ups across the board so I can often get him to use a great iron axe and he takes 0 damage off the enemy’s attacks and then whacks them dead in 1 hit. “Almost moves me to tears!” Indeed

Hear me out guys. Kagetsu. General Kagetsu. I've been wanting a second general and alear already does the fast swordsman shtick much better than anyone else can, but a general with good speed and res? I think I will.

Stat caps make me realize that Berserkers are terrible. Terrible dex/spd/def/res while they can get well over 80 HP. Shame because I like the punk gothic look of Panette but any reclass option she loses her outfit. Three Houses lets you keep default outfits on infantry that came with a patch update and I hope Engage gets one as well.
