Syrnn posted:Any reason no one seems to mention Zelkov in their run downs? My Yunaka hasn't turned out worth much of a drat and I'm pretty impressed with Not *Quite* as a skill, at least on paper, though Yunaka's Trained to Kill seems better. What exactly is going on with this character though, are they just always counting as being in a shadowy corner even when standing in open sun? Randomly enunciating words like a comic book character is very in theme for this game so far. Anyway, he's got like 7 Str up on her, as well as better dex and speed. Should I bench Yunaka for Zelkov? Personally I prefer Yunaka's personal skill because she gets plenty of avoid as-is, and getting bonus crit whenever she's on avoid terrain is pretty amazing. But the fact is both of them are great, so use whichever you prefer. If Zelkov showed up meaningfully stronger than Yunaka and you're not especially attached to her, start using him instead. My main tip with Thieves is that forging knives is extremely powerful--they gain lots of extra damage and get lighter as you forge them. You can make up for a lack of strength with just an extremely strong dagger, for either Yunaka or Zelkov (or anyone else who uses knives). Nissin Cup Nudist posted:What's a good class for Jean since martial monk blows? Is High Priest good? Martial Monk isn't great but its promotion (Martial Master) is pretty good, or at least my Martial Master Framme absolutely kicks rear end. High Priest is more magically-oriented so go that way if your Jean is turning out to have much higher Magic than Strength I think. That said I think the reason say Martial Monk is bad for Jean isn't because it's a bad class, but because its growths aren't anything special, and Jean's personal skill doubles class growths so he can get a lot out of a class with good growths.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:What's a good class for Jean since martial monk blows? Is High Priest good? His gimmick is doubling down on class growths so he excels in classes with specialized growths. Making him a Berserker gives him a 90% Str growth for instance. Personally the two most interesting paths for him I think are turning him into a Thief where he gets better overall growths than any of the other knife-users or making him a Str/HP monster in Berserker and Warrior. Or double down on being a really good Armor though his initial defenses are low for it. Zore fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Jan 31, 2023 |

Man I really hosed up my Panette's build and I really wish they'd let you refund SP or something. Why did I splurge on Dual Assist+ on her? What was I thinking? If I hadn't done that I could've afforded both Vantage+ and Pair Up on her and made her an incredible Wrath/Vantage tank

Picked this up, made it through the tutorial. Training myself that Engages are there to be used, not a last resort, is going to take some mental rewiring. Although managing to feed Lumere to Framme in the tutorial since I'd already gotten Alear to level 2 was entertaining - Alear's counter left her on just 2 HP.

I don’t think I’ll try getting Canter on like 10 people next playthrough, for one.

Nissin Cup Nudist posted:What's a good class for Jean since martial monk blows? Is High Priest good? So this really depends on how much of a support unit you want to be versus how much of a killer you want him to be. Martial Master might have kind of eh stats, but it has access to chain guard, which no one else does except Seadall. Whether this matters to you is a different story. If you're okay giving up Chain Guard but still want him to be support focused, I honestly feel his best class is Griffin Knight. The class has a very good spread of stat growths across the whole spectrum for him to double(except hp/defense) and gives him fantastic mobility.

Whoever designed Leif's paralogue map was having a very very bad day, and I hope they continue having bad days in the future "I won't run or hide! Now fight me!" *hides behind like 50 dudes and 6 ballistae* I honestly don't know what the intended strategy is here. Get a tank and a healbot and just inch my way across while infinite reinforcements spawn in?

Ike and Lyn to eat ballista shots, kill reinforcements when they are down to power them back on, move to the next block. Just a slog through the map.

Leif's paralogue was the only one that actively annoyed me, so as a callback to Thracia it is a resounding success

I didn't find Leif's paralogue that bad, since they have some weird blind spots where if you can Sigurd a unit close enough to melee, no one will actually defend the balista person and the archer itself won't move from their spot.

I figured out Leif's paralogue I used Chloe with Sigurd to rush across the map and kill the ballista guy near Leif, then her and Ivy with Elthunder slowly whittled away the mages and healing each other until it was just Leif left on that side of the map. Meanwhile the rest of my units turtled up and killed anything that came nearby. It helps that once you get close to Leif with the flyers he blows up the bridge, which only helps you since it takes his cavalry forever to make it to your position I guess the answer to dumb bullshit is to just bullshit the game right back, though I can't really say it felt all that satisfying

I can't for the life of me figure out if using a master seal early is bad or good. Is there like a secondary level in the background or something? I see people refer to class and personal stat growth. Does personal reset with a level 1 new class? Help me.

I see people refer to class and personal stat growth. Does personal reset with a level 1 new class? Help me. There is a 'secondary level' in the background that is what exp growth is based off of. If you promote Alear at level 10 they will still be level 10 for exp purposes, and even if you second seal Vander into a base class he will still get trash exp. Class and personal growths are combined to get the 'actual' growths. Advanced classes have better stat growths than their base counterparts, so it's generally better to promote early for both the promotion bonuses and the increased stat growth with little to no loss in exp gained.

I see people refer to class and personal stat growth. Does personal reset with a level 1 new class? Help me. Exp calculations don't care what class you're in, they only track how many internal levels you've earned. Being level 10 and promoting to a level 1 advanced class means your internal level is still 10. Promoting as soon as possible is the correct play 100% of the time, no questions or exceptions beyond literally not having enough master seals available to do so. Growths aren't related to exp, they're stat growth chances when you level. Every character has their own personal stat growths which are modified by whatever class they're in. As an example, Anna's personal magic growth is 50%, and Sage has a 30% magic growth, so Sage Anna has an 80% chance to gain a point of magic per level.

Yeah, there is literally no reason not to promote ASAP in this game beyond the early limit on Master Seals. You don't even have an earlier level cap as drawback, once you hit level 20 with a character you can even second seal them back to level 1 in whatever class they're currently in.

His gimmick is that his solution is to cast Elthunder on everything, including and especially corn. So if you want hot, missing electrified corn action.....

the deployment limit is about the same as fe8 minus the two maps in fe8 that let you dump 18 guys on the map for some reason. tbh engage could have done with one of those, itd have been funny.

You get about the same amount of total people on the map, but it does kinda feel lower around the midgame with like half the Solm arc going "here's about 8 slots you get to pick and 2-3 green units who'll turn blue as soon as the map starts."

I think engages biggest weakness as a plot is that it has too many characters all trying to be the second most important person in the scene after alear, at all times. It's like a way less annoying but way more persistent form of 3h roll calling your entire house during dramatic scenes

It feels like a huge roster as a 3h player that only faintly recalls the GBA game. 3h had a lot of people but you focused on one group. Due to this my entire roster is the cool crew from Brodia who are going to save the world while all these lesser nations watch in awe.
