Fun fact: if you gently caress up and leave alear in lethal range on chapter 3 the ai will pretend it does not see it and just maximise damage instead of trying to game over you

vander feels like he is very specifically a callback to fe6-marcus kind of Jeigan, where hes tuned to almost perfectly weaken enemies for your chosen one(s) to pick off, but marcus is a lot better at that job and is carried for longer because he also comes with good weapon ranks and a silver lance, which lets him delete a boss or problem unit or bail you out of poor positioning with a targeted kill. GBA mechanics in rescue also let him never really be that bad although its not like youre exactly hurting for cav/paladin choices in FE6.

The ch2 mom ai will also prioritize hitting Vander with the initial charge and then alear on subsequent turns, regardless of if there are targets she could kill or do more damage to.

another protip that has saved my rear end very hard is the AI is extremely horny for the Lyn doubles and will go for them over nearly anything else if it can

Yeah the AI is unaware that the Lyn doubles aren't "real" units but is aware that they only have 1 HP, so they see a very easy kill and go for them. They're incredibly useful as bait

also if they happen to be yunaka clones they have a very decent chance of dodging and killing things with a counter-crit Which is technically wasted experience, but also? Funny.

I never used the Lyn doubles as decoys much because because anyone with the Lyn ring is going to be one of your best units, and it's going to be more useful to have them enemy phase down some other enemy while you use a conventional tank or Corrin to limit the other attackers. This goes double in a game with the Forging and Engrave systems, where big investment in either also gives a lot of power. You have this god unit, so why are you using them to sink attacks instead of killing one or more enemies on the counter? The decoys would be a great strategy if it was an ability on another ring, but on Lyn's the opportunity cost makes it a waste.

Because there are too many enemies to kill and drawing aggro is incredibly useful for way too many situations so you can advance with everyone instead of just your three or four ep units. For example the ballista map, Lyn doubles are invaluable for soaking up ammo

Finished chapter 22, finally unlocked everything. Time to go on a paralogue spree. Also, Citrinne's supports with Veyle are hilarious. Serious Hilda/Marianne vibes. And then Alear was the Fire Emblem.

The Lyn doubles aren't foolproof, though; even on Hard, if there's a unit that's one-shottable in enemy range, they'll prioritize them over a double.

The issue with Titania and Seth is that they're arguably too good in the early game. They one-round basically anything that comes their way, so unless you just park them in the corner of the map they're gonna be a bug zapper that draws in and destroys all the EXP. Vander, at least for the two maps he's relevant, fills his role better since he usually weakens enemies instead of flat-out killing them, so you can use him to feed kills to your weaker characters.Blaziken386 posted:i'm still not sure what +5 levels actually does, mechanically, given how level up stat growths work. is it just fixed growths but invisible, or what? it's based on their growth rates This is a Paladin Lapis with Roy, top is not engaged, bottom is engaged.  Paladin Lapis has 70% HP growth, 40% STR, 70% SPD, 50% DEF, 45% RES. These are all multiplied by 5 then rounded to the nearest whole number. 70% x 5 = 350% --> +4 HP 40% x 5 = 200% --> +2 STR 70% x 5 = 350% --> +4 SPD 50% x 5 = 250% --> +3 DEF 45% x 5 = 225% --> +2 RES

Camilla's map ended up almost taking up 3 hours for me on my maddening run, eventually the left side ended up getting opened up which let me kind of bypass a bunch of enemies. Out of the new DLC emblems it feels like Soren is by far the strongest. The ability to manipulate the AI to focus a specific target even if they have too much defense/avoid seems obscenely strong to me, and then on top of that Soren provides a lot of nice offensive utility and survivability. Hector whenever I try to use his engage skill I end up just getting ignored so it seems like you have to either pair him up with someone who doesn't have a lot of defense, or maybe force it using Soren's decoy ability. Seems like you do kind of want to use some sort of mixed stat unit to get the most out of his sword. For now I have him on my wyvern knight Jade. Camilla I put on my Anna who has been using Dire Thunder all the time before this and so far I'm not particularly wowed by it, dire thunder just seems better at murdering dudes so I'm considering moving her over to someone else, maybe Seadall for the mobility?

The main "wow" points of Camilla's emblem are 1. a second dragon vein user, which is really strong and 2. granting flight and boosted move to anyone. The weapons are decent but not insane and the other bonuses are gimmicky and all over the place, so how useful you find Camilla will probably be down to how much you value dragon vein and movement.

The doubles are literally the only reason I survived Ch. 17. Guaranteeing four members of Veyle and Hycantich's murderball (usually including Veyle and Hycantich themselves) weren't attacking anyone important was a godsend.

Yeah I think for Anna specifically she's better off murdering with dire thunder instead, I felt that the way the fire effect was laid out was mostly too awkward to use. Just checked on Triangle Attack what the other effects are, and it turns out they are actually different from Corrin's effects, not just the shape! [Backup] Creates stone pillars that increase Def/Res. [Cavalry] Creates water that decreases Avo. [Covert] Creates smoke that decreases Def/Avo. [Armored] Creates vines that grant immunity to break. [Flying] Creates healing glow that restores HP. [Mystical] Creates flames that inflict damage. [Qi Adept] Creates ice floor that increases movement. [Dragon] Choose any Vein effect. The Qi Adept effect seems absolutely insane to me, I think I might put her on Seadall or Alear instead.

Soren’s Anima Focus stack with other debuffs. So Wind can combo with Hobble to reduce Movement by 4 and Fire can combo with Draconic Hex to reduce Defense by 7.

Master seals can't be used to change class tracks like that. Use a master seal to go to any promoted class, then use a second seal. If you look carefully, in the master seal menu, you'll see that each advanced class has a requirement like "cavalier level 10" or "archer level 10" or something. This is only required when using a master seal to reach the class, not a second seal.

Okay, so I clearly should have been doing these Emblem paralogues earlier instead of waiting until I had all the Emblems. Also, it looks like there's an internal level cap in this game? I have characters turning green and saying max XP even without being level 20 in a class.

Nothing stopped me from just using a Second Seal to reset level and keep on going once someone was level 20 in a class. As far as I can tell there's infinite leveling, though you might have some capped stats on some units by now (for example Diamant will cap Dex pretty early). Is it bond XP instead of regular XP maybe?

Never tried using a second seal to reset level. It's definitely not bond XP, I capped all bonds at 10 a while back and am only now rounding up all the emblem paralogues. But yeah, peoples' experience bars turn green at one point, then when they finish that level XP is simply listed as max. It's definitely not based on actual class level, I have different people capping out at different levels. I'm going to be kicking myself if it turns out I've been permanently wasting xp. -_-
