It’s free, you can set three pairs of people to participate in activities to raise supports.

You can double up on activities in one session too. I had Ivy hang out with Alcryst at the pool and Diamant at the stable.

The JP twitter has a lot more details on what the DLC rings do.

Soren has Rally Taunt, Sol, Bolting, and an AoE magic attack for his special.
Camilla has Dragon Veins, Bolt Axe, and gives her engage partner flying movement, and her special is a checkerboard AoE.
Hector has FEH style Quick Riposte, Wolf Beil, Iron Wall (some sort of def/res booster), and his special gives him null chain attack and unbreakable and removes the HP requirement for QR for one turn.

Has anyone done any testing for how percents are calculated? Is it GBA style double rolls, Marth game style actually what it says on the tin? Or a Fates style hybrid?

I didn't find 17 as hard as I'd been lead to believe. Each group of mobs aggros piecemeal allowing them to be baited out and destroyed at leisure.

Giving someone Quality Time in addition to your actual Corrin bearer means that you have limitless - slow, but limitless - free healing for the entire team. Doubly handy when there's no actual time pressure. Any enemy attack that is not a kill might as well not exist, as it costs me nothing but time.

I'm finding my style in this game trending strongly towards slow, conservative creeping, holding Emblems in reserve for when I need to go ham on bosses. I'm not sure if that was the intended effect, but it's working for me.

they absolutely do not move piecemeal; engaging marnie causes an entire army of dragons and mauvier to run directly at you, killing you instantly, along with hyacinth and veyle. zephia is the only one who's happy to hang around until someone enters her range

Nah, I lured out the dragon on its own (well, it and a qi adept) and murked it before pulling Marnie. Pulling Marnie did aggro Mauvier as well, but he was too far away to reach Marnie before I shredded her and could bring the entire group to bear on Mauvier. Veyle likewise did not aggro when I pulled Hyacinth, she patiently waited in the back with a qi adept.

If you stay at the extreme range of enemies, it's remarkably easy to peel away just two or three enemies at a time.

Oh now I remember.

Yeah so the enemies you're fighting all have very different mov to each other so when they attack after Marnie aggros you can just retreat back and eventually the different movement rates will leave them stranded as individual packs

It's not even that. A bunch of enemies only aggro in twos and threes if you use the indicators to only pull one at a time at the extreme of their range, and fall back to separate the angry mobs from the rest so that when you do land the sucker punch you don't aggro more in the process.

Learning to stop being so aggressive and play much more defensively has been my big learning experience with this game. I'm not a good enough player to reliably pull of risky, highly aggressive strategies, but the game is extremely conducive to a more methodical approach.

this is just completely counterthetical to my experience, which was sitting my units in marnie's range and watching her refuse to budge, then having the entire map start trying to (and succeeding!) kill me as soon as i moved closer

Oof. I checked Serenes Forest, which has everyone's post-battle lines, and there's some doozies if characters' closest friends and loved ones die in battle. There's even special dialogue in some case for if multiple such die in the same battle.

Edit: Chloe's A support with Merrin is one of the gayest things I've ever seen in Fire Emblem that isn't an outright s-rank between two women, on top of an incredibly gay previous two supports.

Done with chapter 21, starting chapter 22.
I like the story beats here.


wowowowowowwo

Marni's past was pretty interesting. And realizing she just wants some attention and love. And her finding out like her, that's all Good Veyle wanted, so she's a lot more sympathetic to her.
And they actually did it, I joked a bit about it, but they actually killed Marni :O, I thought she was gonna join me along with the big knight guy. Maybe she can be reborn as a ring.

Felt it more than when the mom died, because even though Marni just did a tldr; for her past, I just started getting invested in her. And her trying to crack the helmet and failing (but wait, it actually did help!)

Griss seems to just be outright 100% jerk.

All good anime stuff happening.

Alear dying, and then getting resurrected back as a corrupted, but still acts the same as always? I guess I take it. Laughed when the crew's first reaction to corrupted Alear was "oh drat, so do we need to kill this zombie Alear now too?" and Alear is all like "no no i'm still good...trust me" (can they though? we see...)

One of the few really good Engage tracks playing also really helped the mood.

So far, the story has been pretty digestible so far.

Som(totally not a)bro plan is to invade other worlds, but wonder just how strong is he, I'm imaging him going to one of the other fire emblem worlds, and just getting his rear end kicked by the heroes there. JRPG protags know how to take care of an evil god or two from another world, its what they have for breakfast

That's interesting, I really felt like the game was pressing me to be more aggressive, especially past the mid-game. Bosses like to start moving towards you, there are tons of reinforcements that come at you from the rear (which can be overwhelming on some later maps), and it's easy enough to refill a key Emblem so it feels rewarding to use Engages early in an aggressive push.

But both you and Natural 20 had the opposite experience, which interests me.

In his supports with Alear it's revealed that he does it just to amuse himself, there's no meaning behind it at all
