I swear I read the op and if I missed it, well I guess that's on me now, but does this game have Casual Mode and all that on it? I really prefer playing on Casual cause I don't like resetting if someone I like gets killed

it does but there's also a gimmick called mila's turnwheel where you can turn back time a turn or two which lets you do different moves and save someone from dying. it's got limited uses but it restores uses fairly often. so you can play casual, classic while using the turnwheel, or just pure classic.

Interesting, but also leads me to wonder when they stopped doing the thing where the RNG seed stayed the same even if you reset the game. Probably since Awakening, I guess?

I'm eyeing the Cipher DLC, tbh. :v:

And is the promote everyone instantly thing due to like low stat caps or something?

promoting only increases stats if they don't meet the base for the class, so waiting only means you're missing out on stat boosts if you go over said bases

The first cantor on Celica's route is pretty tough - are you actually supposed to kill him, or does he go away after a while? I only managed to take him out because Saber rolled a crit on an absymal hit chance.

i have yet to meet anyone unkillable, i even defeated the necrodragon without Seraphim

it took a real long time but it happened!!! Also as soon as Celica killed him she learned Seraphim, it was pretty funny

I guess on Hard you aren't gonna be hitting for more then 1 ever so it would be much harder to defeat the Dragon early

Who should I make drink from the Speed and HP soda fountains?

The HP fountain strikes me as worthless compared to the speed one. I gave Faye 2 Speed Boosts and I think Kliff the other one. Not sure if optimal exactly, tbh Faye didn't really need it she's kinda tanky with Nosferatu.

Huh, maybe I didn't account for a weapon weight or something, though I could swear I double-checked that.

I think what's thrown me off on supports is that not everyone goes up to A, and some of the supports feel janky ending after just one/two conversations. Does Efi really have "bonkers about Alm" as her only character trait, moon over him for one support level and then just shut up?

do you mean faye, or are their really two characters with the same thing going on

Yeah, i really hate witches. And deserts. But mostly witches.

why does Celica have only 1 Mov in the sand when every other mobile unit has 2 except valdar, that is incredibly dumb

So is there a way to nullify the Dracoshield boosts, I have all of 2 units who can do more then 1 damage to Jedah, and it's not enough to actually kill him on the 8th attack

celica had a map with like 9 witches and then an entire other inner section, that map kicked my rear end

You could just not deploy everyone. On Celica's side I've dumped Jesse, Atlas, and Valbar and on Alm's Python, Forsythe, Luther and Clive have been unable to keep up.

even the people you've dumped can be useful bait, if you're playing casual. if you're doing classic, they can be useful bait at least once
