I'm a fan of Garon's ashen-gray, sunken-eyed, obviously evil portrait. It's the silly two-color beard that pulls it together.

Oh hey! I voted for... one of those people. You all really like the Ninja crew, huh?

Poor Rinkah, this would've been a decent map for her, but she's going to ride that bench.

This is just the list of contenders for the 6th cut. The poll shows that people do not, in fact, like the ninjas.

Yep, that looks like every attempt I made at using Rinkah beyond the intro chapters. She and the RNG aren't on good terms.

Every team has its Vaike, I suppose.

Yeah Scarlet kicks rear end. She's strong, tanky, can fly, her design is cool, etc. I don't think her personal skill is great - a higher chance to randomly crit isn't worth being near death. But whatever, she's good enough to overlook that and her lack of supports (and thus her lack of flexibility re: re-classing, but her available classes are already pretty diverse).

I vote to change Reina because a) that should stave off her elimination for at least one more map and I'd like her to stay, and b) one of the re-class options uses Reina's bow rank and it's a good class besides.

Then obviously you'd have to change Ryoma to Kinshi Knight to make up for Reina's change!

Orochi is another one of those units that never worked out for me. Maybe someone better at Fire Emblem can make use of a unit with high attack and sluggish speed, but I abandon her when I get easier access to magic melee weapons and faster tome users.

Good for Rinkah. Dread Fighter is a good class for her, and helps her get through bad levels with its utility. Bolt Axe and shurikens are a deadly combo.

One thing to note about Mechanists is they make a goofy clip-clop noise when they move. It changes from goofy to scary when it's the enemy making the noise, because a 7-movement shuriken/bow user with decent defensive stats is nothing to mess with.

Hahaha this is Corrin's worst S support and it's exactly what he deserves.

And we also get our introduction to the confusing nature of Deeprealms. Where did they come from? How do we get to them? Where do you find a team of people to raise your child for you in an alternate dimension and how do you pay them? Who cares, Deeprealms are just an excuse for child characters in a narrative that does not support their existence. I don't like ragging on these games too much, because there are plenty of people eager to do that already, but these past few updates have shown the worst of Birthright and you can't really ignore that.

We know what Pratchett had to say about people who talk/think with multiple punctuation marks.


Have kids mechanics changed? Because kids tended to be "parents but strictly better" in 4 and awakenings.

A child's growth rates are an average of their base growths and those of their variable parent, and their starting stats are based off of these averaged growths. Kids are no longer superhumans here, and can be screwed if you give them a parent with poisonously bad growths.

Seriously Azama, gently caress off. Never really used him in my own playthroughs as I both didn't need another healer and I didn't particularly care for the brief few bits of his introduction, but virtually every support being shown off for him just reinforces that impression and makes me like him even less.

Azama is the best character in the game.

by that standard every character in the game is bad, because they're all total monsters when it comes to their kids

Sounds right to me.

Edit: On second thought, Soleil to Dread Fighter and hold off on the Witch reclass for now.

Also reclass Corrine to Spear Master, because I lust for E-rank weapons.

I love how Garon and Iago's plan throughout Conquest amounts to "We will make Corrin SUFFER, and as a result...uh, um...muahaha!" It's a touch absurd.

Personally I always saw Garon as a melty ice cream cone instead of goo.

I also like that he's still wearing his jaunty little crown and cape, turning into an ice cream sundae should not stop one from looking one's best.

I liked using these early Revelation chapters for raising one of those level 1 bond units I collected while playing through the other routes. Chapter 7 even has an open slot ready made for deploying a hopeful bond unit/captured generic, and it's not like they were ever going to see use otherwise.

Yes, marrying Elise to anyone is pretty creepy, but Niles's kid will get some real interesting stats that you can't really pull off on anyone else.

Anna can perform a similar role, but yeah, among non-DLC characters Elise as the mother gives this kid a useful niche.

This suggestion is a couple of maps late, but maybe change Sophie to Wyvern Lord, because you are woefully short on fliers.
