Micaiah's Thani would have also given Ivy a real purpose, because it would easily let her Yeetus Deletus the millions upon millions of armors that the game loves vomiting at you.

What's the benefit of reclassing a mage into a weapon-using class and using a magic weapon? It feels like the might/weight ratio of the magic weapons are equal or worse than tomes, and the wind tomes also have effectiveness against fliers. I guess it might give you additional survivability and the ability to chain if you reclass to a backup class, but you're also trading off MAG for that, and they would still be pretty squishy

I tried using Hortensia but she was made of used kleenex so I stuck with Ivy.posadas posted:What's the benefit of reclassing a mage into a weapon-using class and using a magic weapon?

And weapon classes have higher defenses than caster classes and the ability to switch back to weapons if they have to take out a mage or something.

That said I wouldn't switch a Mage to a fighter-type class for it. Mage Knight is great for magic weapon use, though, because it also keeps tome access, so the magic weapon just becomes another tool in the toolbox.

It's also your only option if you want a flying magic attacker besides Ivy or Hortensia.

Kanos posted:After playing Engage Maddening, I honestly have really started to like fixed growths. It's not the same experience as normal FE growths, but it gives every character a really unique texture and feel and makes it feel like you can evaluate how good a character is going to be and what they excel at objectively. It also means that while you do miss out on having someone luck into being a god unit, you never have the issue of a character you really wanted to use just whiffing a million levels in a row and becoming completely useless. For those units, I parked Yunaka and Zelkov next to each other on pillars, so they blocked the entrance to the room, and used 3 range mages/bows behind them. 0% chance to be hit and decent damage with their crit.

Other than that, magic weapons exist to be used by mostly-physical units who happen to have good magic. The main exception to this is Celine, who has swords naturally, and the levin sword has much better mt than earlygame tomes

Another benefit of magic weapons is that they give non-mage units with decent Magic a way to target Res in case they need to fight an armored unit

Yeah I just didn't see it. I think the prolonged absence just meant that I'd forgotten about most of her utility by the time she came back. posadas posted:What's the benefit of reclassing a mage into a weapon-using class and using a magic weapon?

Excalibur, the A tier Wind tome has 10 MT/9Wt. Radiant bow is cheaper to upgrade and available earlier. That's pretty much it.

I don’t see the benefit of specifically reclassing to use the magic bow though, because that doesn’t give you the ability to break and you only get Backup if you go with Warrior. Tomes let you counter at one space if you gently caress up your positioning and Wind is effective against flyers.

ROFL Octopus posted:Tiki’s good but I don’t think she seems overtuned or anything? Having a big blob of stats on a unit and being able to give another unit insurance is nice, but it doesn’t feel like it’s expanding my options like doing a massive AOE attack or Jugdral Dance or full screen attack or mass-warping me and fellas like the base game emblems offer. Her selling point is the extra growths anyways, which does exist to to steroid a unit and is paywalled

It's more that, if you want a thing that shoots down high tier fliers in this game, you don't want an archer, you want a mage with a bow because of how much stronger Radiant bow is than every other bow in the game. I wouldn't want to reclass out all my mages because staff access is too important. But give me the game again and I dump Alcryst, convert Pandreo or something to a sniper and put Lucina on him instead.

I do not know why the skill inheritance and arena maps are separate. I do not know why you have to click the training sigil after every single fight. I do not know why you have to Emblems multiple times because you can only level up 5 levels at once. And I don't know why you have to fight emblems at all. But all of these are Bad Decisions.

I had very very good growths on Alear so using him as just a rallybot would be a pretty big downgrade for my team, but on a future playthrough with a less busted Alear I could see that being a really powerful role. Actually now that I think about it (late-game spoilers) Veyle can do it, too. I've been using Byleth with Citrinne for Thyrsus nuking but putting him on Veyle instead might be a good play

I made Lapis into a Sword General on Hard and she's been absolutely ridiculous. Run her into any group of people, pop the Pure Water if there's any casters, watch them all eat Killing Edge. In addition to taking almost no physical damage at all she's fast enough to double a lot of enemies, she's dodgy enough that most casters I'm facing now only have a ~64% hit rate against her, and her high crit rate means that she usually kills anybody she can counterattack that's not another armor unit. Only weakness is that she can't really counterattack effectively at range.

When do second seals and master seals become available for purchase? I've made it to Brodia, and my main team are all level 10 now. And the RNG is heavily favoring Framme so far, she's turning into a murder machine.

I am glad for the existence of mid-game prepromotes right now, because Lapis and Diamant have both been pretty mediocre for me and Goldmary got all their spare weapons and is instantly one of my best units. Plus she seems like a real fuckin' weirdo so that's also cool.

Goldmary's is the kind of person who would say their only flaw is that they are too perfect and that is excellent for her. She is not quite my favorite character but she is definitely in the top 3. Now if only she was a Halbedier by default...

the real trick to Lyn's paralogue is that you don't have to do it right away. All of the emblem paralogues are overleveled for when they unlock but they don't scale at all

SyntheticPolygon posted:Just gotta go fast to kill the tent leaders so reinforcements don't show up. Is the trigger for reinforcements getting too close to Lyn? Or is it after a certain number of turns? This is the kinda “gotcha!” poo poo that drives me crazy about FE games. I hate when they put you in an impossible situation so the only thing you can do is start the entire battle over. Thankfully this one is optional, so I can come back later. Edit: gonna have to abandon some of my lower-leveled units for better ones that came later. I hate to do that but this game basically makes it impossible to level up low-level units. Biggest “gotcha” moment in this game was chapter 10 taking away all of my rings which I wasn’t expecting so lots of units now suck because I can’t give them the right proficiency like Anna. loving bullshit that they did poo poo like put Anna in the wrong job then gated magic behind the rings that they then take away from you for ages.

Blackbelt Bobman posted:Is the trigger for reinforcements getting too close to Lyn? Or is it after a certain number of turns? The trigger is that the reinforcements show when Lyn casts Astra Storm. But Lyn has a trigger where she'll start moving towards you earlier than that. If you set up a low def flier nearby Lyn will constantly chase that flier around.

The reinforcements spawn when she attacks you for the first time, form any huts that you haven't killed the boss of You also have the time crystal as an option, any time you feel gotchaed e: my strat was to clear the four huts far from lyn while working on a strict timer, then kite lyn just long enough to beat her before the reinforcements from the other huts mattered
