also if you get a game over - ironically, the only member of my army who wouldn't die was alear, so engineering that was a royal pain - the game says you can reset the battle but retain exp. For whatever reason, this does not apply to bond exp. As far as i can tell, it let me keep the few good levels I got, but not the bond ranks. Which is incredibly arbitrary, but gently caress it, I'll take it. At least I got something out of this two hour long shitshow. I'm coming back with a half dozen warp staves and killing her on turn one next time. Now it's personal.

I’d say the Crest of Flames counts as Sol as well and it’s an even lower heal. I’m also considering context. Genealogy has Sol recover 100% of damage dealt, but it’s a comedy option cause Dew is getting pity damage. Path of Radiance recovers 100% of damage dealt and the characters that can get it are all badass, but the enemies are extremely weak so a Skill% chance to heal isn’t a game changer. I’d say here, where enemy strength is substantial, a guaranteed 50% of damage dealt heal is extremely powerful and the best implementation of Sol yet.

I definitely got a lot of benefit out of the fact that I'd just heal up for half my health every player phase whenever Eirika was engaged. I never really swapped for it though because Eirika's skills are in general much better than Ephraim's, imo.

Lunar Brace is one of my favorite skills. Sure, it’s weaker than Luna and only works on player phase, but it activates for every hit, guaranteed. It’s pretty amazing with arts or brave weapons. I’m considering inheriting it on a couple units in my Maddening run though that will likely require using the DLC SP books (but I’m not too proud for DLC so hey)

Soren is absurdly broken. Forcing enemy AI to change their targeting is so absurdly strong and the fact you don’t even need to be engaged for it is the cherry on top. I did Chapter 19 while having Ivy on Assign Decoy duty to my General Alear and as long as you manage the groups and keep aware of how many are targeting you, Alear just tanks everything and attacks back with Hector’s guaranteed follow up. I do feel DLC breaks the balancing of Engage, especially Maddening. Tiki alone is enough to make a super tanky god unit that heals themselves for 40hp when they rest while also giving Defence boosts if ally’s start in a square next to them. These new emblems not only give multiple strategies to approach maps, but the process of clearing them also causes you to over-level once you have solidified your main roster. I still enjoy them, but I’m not too huge on a “pure” challenge but I know it could be a dealbreaker for some people.

Yeah I think it helps that it's relatively easy to ignore the DLC if you want to do a playthrough without them, since it's all literally sequestered on its own island and you can just not get the bracelets. Well I guess the free DLC items that get dropped in your inventory are harder to ignore but I guess you could just burn all the gold on Heal staves and sell the stat boosters/SP books if you don't want to use them. I sorta wonder if the Wave 4 DLC will be balanced around having the bracelets, since it seems to be about the other world the bracelets came from. This assumes that it'll be part of a normal playthrough and not a separate campaign you access from the main menu though.

cheetah7071 posted:yeah, you misread my post. Master seals are on tracks, but you can use a second seal right after a master seal to go to anything you have proficiency for You can branch off master seals but only in specific ways, and that will still require a weapon prof ie louis can get to great knight and chloe can go wyvern rider just by picking up a second weapon prof. You can see what your “alt branch” options are on the change class screen by scrolling down the list. All the advanced classes have a base class list, and if you want to master seal into them you need to match the base class AND weapon proficiencies. If you’re making a more radical change, then you need to involve a second seal. Generally it’s recommended to promote and then second seal, cause when you do this all you need to do is match weapon proficiencies and the base class req is ignored. Otherwise you can second seal to the base class of what you want to target and promote normally. The biggest exceptions are thieves and dancers, which are essentially promoted jobs that a few characters can start in. They’re just flagged as promoted for second seal purposes once they hit 21. And finally all the royals have unique class tracks, so they’ll always need a second seal and master seal to successfully pivot (still should favor promote then reclass here)

Louis falling behind a bit @ lv15 General, decided to switch him to a Halberdier. Yunaka, Anne, and Chloe are on their 2nd cycle as Sniper/Hero/Griffon Knight. Wish if you go a second round with the same class, that class gets a different color shade just for cosmetics-sake

Every character who inherits Gentility or Lunar Brace will have the same version of the skill that the person who has the Eirika ring has. When they switch twins, it will switch for everyone with the skill; when they engage, all characters with the skill will get the engaged version.

Notty posted:3Houses was significantly more focused on combining class skills to get the most out of your units, which meant you spent most of the early/mid game class hopping to collect good skills that created units that could juggernaut through the rest of the game. I would say it’s more of a long term/strategical oriented game because once you get your late game units you can kind of just mash A to win. 3Houses sounds in Awakening in that sense since you just try to create the perfect child unit with the best skills.

galagazombie posted:I’m not a fan of all of the royals getting their own bespoke classes and stealing the cool abilities from the normal ones. Like how was the game improved by not having Alcryst just be an archer/sniper or Diamant a Hero? I think only Ivy and Hortensia aren’t identical to a preexisting class. Yeah I agree with this. It also sucks that the only flying casters are two of the unique royal classes.

Augus posted:canto instead of Dual Assist on backup characters is not a good use of SP Eh I think unless you're up against critical mass dual assist there's a fairly reasonable argument for canto on your stronger player phase backups. Like being able to strike and fade a flier with radiant bow anna and have 100% backups on the rest of the pack is good.

In my Hard run Backup units were the only ones I didn't give Canter to so I could afford Dual Assist+ on all of them. Everyone else had at least Canter, with a few Canter+ users (Hortensia, Ivy, and Seadall for example).

I feel like saying Canter isn't one of the best skills in the game is just being contrary. The skills that might be better tend to be 2000 SP or more, and over the course of the game you're working with 3000-4000 SP total per character depending on how often they're wearing an Engage ring. "1000 SP on Canter, 2000 SP on whatever else seems good" is solidly better than any alternative that comes to mind, but I'd be curious to hear suggestions.
