Generic "bow" isn't effective against fliers, and flier effectiveness is only +4 damage

I'm playing through slowly because I've already played the Japanese version and I just finished act 2. While most of the game isn't a new experience, the translation is really knocking it out of the park (and my Japanese isn't good enough to judge things like prose quality so while I understood what was going on that was about it). The Gray/Tobin and Mae/Boey bickering is incredible.

The only time in the game that backtracking is cut off is that Celica can't explore the act 1 areas after you finish act 2. Just keep playing and come back to the guy when you get your third.

marshmallow creep posted:Celica gets the Rion and Fugue shields, and can give the Fugue shield to the correct guy, but the Rion guy was in Zofia castle. Do I have to know in advance this happens so I can send the Rion to Alm through the Peddler or is there another way to get the Rion shield to its guy? Worst case scenario, the two parties merge in the postgame

re: whitewings chat from a page or so ago Palla and Catria are really, really dependent on hitting their growths. If they hit their averages in attack and speed they're suddenly the best combat units in Celica's squad. If they don't, they're a necessary evil because flying is really, really, good in Celica's fights.

Vernatio posted:I know this isn't exactly a fresh opinion, but why does Alm's army suck so much rear end. I'm only in chapter 3, so I guess there's time to bounce back, but I can't see him ever reaching Celica's heights of four Dread Fighters and a swathe of stupid powerful mages. Celica has two powerful mages, a mediocre mage, and "why are you even here" Boey I guess if you count Genny then you might be at a swathe e: Nomah exists too I guess but he's basically a healbot

Awakening was fun. Conquest and Birthright, mixed together in roughly equal proportions, would be fun--the problem with each is more lack of map variety than fundamental map problems None of them really stand up to repeated replays though but judging them on how you feel when confronted with booting them up for the third or fourth or fifth time isn't really fair when this game is still in its honeymoon phase The aesthetics of this game absolutely will not fade when the honeymoon is over I guarantee. The gameplay easily could.

I think this game proved pretty conclusively that limited supports are better than expansive supports. A hypothetical FE4 remake would obviously go full shipping stimulator but other than that I hope they leave the idea alone Except to put shipping in Heroes, they should do that

Dungeons are why the turnwheel exists tbh Dungeons are the only mechanical aspect of this game (i.e., excluding map design) that I definitely do not want to see return in future titles. The rest range from wanting to see them always or being okay if they return sometimes

mandatory lesbian posted:I really like the characters and story and I think the Final Dungeon Battle were good, but the desert and swamp maps of Celica's route can all die in a garbage fire. After playing through twice now I don't think it's actually true that the whitewings are, mechanically, that much better than anyone else in Celica's route. They probably have comparable or worse stat spreads to Celica, Saber, and Mae off the top of my head They just seem incredible because they get a huge level lead because you get ten maps in a row where your options are do a surgical strike with your fliers or spend 50 turns wading through horrible maps

Honestly, dragons being revived eviler and more powerful than before is a series staple so They can also sorta live on through humans who bear their brand (e.g. Julius from FE4)

Devoyniche posted:How badly can you gently caress up by making your units the wrong type? I havent been worrying too much about it but I made Faye a Pegasus Knight and Gray a Mercenary, instead of cleric and cavalry, thinking Faye would be like that generic Pegasus Knight you get early on in every FE, that becomes a glass cannon, but then in like the literal next map, I ended up recruiting that one girl who starts as a pegasus knight and is probably the glass cannon. I also made Tobin an archer and Kliff a mage. Now Im fighting a bunch of cavalry dudes and kinda like, peg knights dont hit hard enough and are low defense, so their extra mobility doesnt matter for much. Did I gently caress up? Faye is always good. You can turn one mercenary into a Good Unit by giving them the lightning sword (which you get early)--it really doesn't matter what their stats are at that point Kliff is pretty good as a mage Tobin might be kinda hosed though

Bruceski posted:So I beat the main game, and now there's chapter 6 postgame. I'm kinda done to my satisfaction, is there more story now or is it just your typical postgame dungeon for folks who wanna keep playing? It's a series of boring, punishing boat maps followed by a dungeon which I never did when playing through the first time but is by all accounts terrible. There's a bit of plot which ties in with Awakening

Bruceski posted:Tobin was fine as an archer for me, particularly since the Killer Bow has a double-attack art for lategame. People tend to reccomend mercs because they're a handy unit, brave swords are easy to come by for 50% and up crit rates, and their class bases in speed and skill make up for the low growths of a lot of characters, but really anyone can do well in any class depending on how you use them. Faye's the toughest choice because the mobility for peg knights is great but as a cleric she gets Physic and Rescue which are incredibly handy. I think mage Faye actually has a lot to recommend her. Physic and rescue are hard to give up but imo the thing Alm is missing most is offensive firepower, and that's what mage Faye brings to the table

Tae posted:How much more offensive power do you need? You already have Gray aka I Am Mercenary Base Stats with Lightning sword, Tobin and Kliff are good as mage and archer respectively, and Matilta is a wrecking ball. Clive is still good overall as well, and Luthier joins with Excaliber early in chapter 3. I must have had two bad Mathildas in a row because I would never describe her as a wrecking ball. I've never had an archer accomplish much more than chip damage to anything but a mage--I'm really down on them to the point of actively thinking archers are bad despite the 1-5 range. Both of the good male mage villagers are very reliant on excalibur crits to kill things I've found, as is Luthier. Faye just deletes an enemy every turn, no RNG except for spell accuracy. Alm (once he gets double lion), Mage!Faye and Delthea are in my experience pretty unique in Alm's army for their ability to one-round enemies other than mages without relying on crit RNG

Endorph posted:Mathilda is a wrecking ball just off her bases in chapter 3 People keep saying that and I just don't see it. She 3HKOs enemies and doubles them, just like 2/3 of Alm's army. She has okay defense (which will become bad by the time you hit act 4) and good resistance but not enough to really open up new strategies She's a solid unit but I honestly don't see her as being any more than that
