Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.

So some passive do stack while others do not. Stuff like Fortify Res definitely do _not_ stack while stuff like Hector's Spur Atk and Goad Armor skills do!

Buffs don't stack, but Spur ATK and such aren't buffs. IE: They don't give a little green arrow. They just change your stats in battle. They also don't work with Tharja or Nino's special ability.

Rally ATK and Hone ATK and Kindled-Fire Balm are all ATK buffs, and don't stack: the most powerful buff overrides the others.

My Male Corrin is only level 4 but has 26 atk this does not seem fair and/or balanced? My level 20 Hawkeye has 33 attack. Both are 5-Star.

A large portion of attack power comes from the 5* weapon.

Not sure if that one works, it depends if it's an in-battle buff.

Hector's buff definitely stacks though.

First, as sassassin pointed out above, 16 atk on your corrin is from Yato. 11 atk on Hawkeye is from his Killer Axe+. Corrin's more powerful weapon makes his numbers appear bigger.

Hawkeye will also get +6 from his passive on the offensive.

I'm pretty sure the game is built to sense desire and refuse to fulfill it.

Explains me only getting a 3 star Robin and no Lucina. Meanwhile? 3 Corrins. One five star.

lol the extra dialogue you get when you get a unit to 40.

Robin: "There's a special bond between tactician and general. Chrom and I have it, I'm sure you and Alphonse must as well."
me: *looks at level 3 alphonse, sweats nervously*
That's a weird line for Robin to have since the plot points to Anna being the general of the army, and Alphonse and Sharenna just being royals that get involved.

Rushed through stuff (Effie is a pretty good tank so far, is she like that beyond level 25?) and gathered another penta-roll.

4* Odin, 5* Camilla, 4* Catria.

That's 2 5* in 2 pentas, not bad :v

Spoilers for when you get him: Henry's gets a "bonus damage against colorless enemies" tome option. If you get a 4 or 5 star version, he'll start with said tome unlocked and equipped.

You'll like using him and his puns.

He also gets Green Tomebreaker which can be nice to have on hand sometimes, gives him a good bit of coverage on advantages.

I think the desire sensor is a bit broken right now since I got child Tiki when I was hunting for adult Tiki and I'm entirely okay with this

Beat the story maps on other difficulties (Hard and Lunatic). After that, you're left with bonus quests that offer a certain amount.

And 8 more from quest rewards, and 2 a day for the duration of the launch bonus window.

Decent amount, assuming you're not aiming for someone in particular.

I'm not sure exactly how stat gains work but you shouldn't worry too much about the stats on low level characters. Stats seem to progress at a different rate for different characters, and sometimes progression doesn't take off until higher level. Catria's defense at 20 was nothing to write home about but by 40 she'll have higher def than almost every other blue character. Don't gauge a character's end performance by how they look at level bullshit, basically

Each unit has a final stat distribution with one that's +3 and one that's -3, randomized. I think I remember reading about a +/-1 random stat as well but I don't have it on any of my units. The level-up gains are random and seeded but eventually end up at the normalized distribution by level 40, with the two that are +/-3.

Example:
Lyn's baseline at 40 is 37 hp, 44 atk, 37 spd, 26 def, 29 res

My Lyn has 34 hp, 47 atk, 37 spd, 26 def, 29 res. So I got the -3hp, +3atk version.

p sure azura + lyn combo with either takumi or hector (they're both stupid so who cares) is the current meta


azura is able to straight give her turn to another character, and if lyn initiates an attack she automatically receives a free turn after combat (once per turn). basically lyn can have three attacks if you want, but more importantly, she can have two attacks and then completely run away unharmed.

It's loving stupid thanks for listening.

So is the consensus that it's better to sell dupe units for feathers rather than merge them with other units? Even after we get the 10k from the twitter campaign I'm gonna need a lot more to move Abel, Florina, or Gordin up to 5*.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
I love how the 'training' area manage to consistently throw teams at you full of 50+ atk, 35+ spd, 35+ def units? I had a 52 attack generic with 37 speed and a loving brave weapon as well as the ability to counter first when under half hp. All they needed was something like the -atk aura or the ability to counter at range to be unkillable since they also had 30-something defense somehow.

Entirely depends on if the unit is one you want to either use on the rarity you have or eventually upgrade, if you want to do either it's better to fuse. If you have no intention of using the unit then it's better to cash them in for feathers.

It's pretty BS. If they don't make the half stamina costs permanent, I don't see any reason to play the training tower at all.

So I just worked out the stat spread on my 5* characters...

Lucina: -Atk, +Def
Kagero: +HP, -Spd
Tiki: -Spd, +Def
Camilla: +HP, -Atk

-Atk and -Spd all around in a game that is all about the alpha... :suicide:
