His speed doesn't matter when you get the killer bow. And he gets way better as the game goes on because there's a lot of flying enemies to get bonus damage on.

Tobin is way better as mage because Excaliber is a great early-midgame spell and Physic keeps him relevant after that. Neither Kliff or Tobin are going to be better than female mages so him falling off at endgame isn't a big deal.

People in the thread said that you could go to the Dragon Shrine without Atlas and the Peg Sisters leaving, but they both did for me after I fought Blake. :( Kind of annoying, I want to make Atlas into a non-crappy unit.

Re-recruit them, then go to the shrine

Might be a bad time to tell you that Celica's maps are basically 60% bad terrain and swamps

Uh is the Shadow Sword worth using? It seems like it's not if it has the chance of killing myself.

Go to forge, pay 50 silver marks to change it, now have you have Brave Sword which is more of a Killer Sword that's super accurate.

Celica's part of the game was when I really missed the Rescue/Shelter mechanic. Way too many story maps involve taking down a fortress moving 1 tile at a time for the majority of your units.

I would also like any future game to add in the ability to skip start-of-turn healing because late game was a minute of healing from rings and saints aura recovery. And triple that after an Upheavel.

Mages are too useful, or more accurately, Seraphim is way too powerful to let go since Mae is still the best non-Celica mage in the game. There's also a pretty large gap between her and the next one which is....Sonya?

Eh, I'd say Delthea is decently better than Mae. She's basically got the same type of glass cannon growths, except better, and she comes on Alm's route where mages are in much more limited supply - especially good ones - so there's far less competition than Celica's for relevant items. Thus her only real issue, lack of a Range 3 spell, is easily fixed with a Mage Ring since she's by far the best choice for it on that route. That significantly better base resistance certainly doesn't hurt either.

Delthea isn't on Celica's route, though.

Official art of the 4 DLC characters




And keep in mind that they're releasing at the same time as Japan, which indirectly makes me think that the Switch FE game will be close to or maybe even be a world wide release with how close Echoes is and how Xenoblades 2 is a WW release.

You can do something like make Atlas a Merc to boost his speed and then use the Mila fork to switch him to whatever class you want, since his biggest problem is his bad base speed.

I mean, it's a weird comment considering the last artist put a variety of poses on his art which was very dynamic compared to most of the franchise before it.

Good to know. My sword mans have been real solid, but I was afraid to overload the army with them. Magic seems really good too but not everyone makes a good mage thanks to the way spells are learned, right?

Spell list:

Atlas for Celica's army is actually a good mage because of his spell list.

The supports between the Ciphers are probably the longest supports in the game.

Also, Emma can triangle attack with herself, literally called Solo Triangle Attack.

I just read that the upcoming PC version is announced to have 50% more voiced dialogue. you will probably see me a lot in the Falcom thread this fall

I would advise anyone that is just starting on the cold steel franchise to actually not go to the Falcom thread, because CS 3 will be in the fall.
