Apparently I am more out of practice at Fire Emblem than I thought and I'm having a slight bit of trouble with the first non-tutorial battle (the Rivalry of the Houses battle). I'm playing Golden Deer--which units did you find were the most useful to bring along for that fight on Hard? I can't seem to decide who'd be the best (small) squad for that.

I brought along Marianne for healing and Leonie and Hilda as frontliners. Thinking back Raphael probably would’ve been a better choice than Hilda

Something fucky is definitely going on with these weapon tournaments. Occasionally the match will just end and I’ll be declared the loser? I could understand there being a time limit but I can’t figure out what the deciding factor is. It’s not health, because my unit always has more when the match ends early

I’m not super hot on recruiting students from other houses. Between each house* feeling like a such a tight knit unit, having so few deployment slots, and having a bunch of neutral characters to fill in any gaps in your lineup it feels really weird to try and slot in kids from other houses. In fact there’s so many neutral characters that between them and few students I did poach my roster is getting real cluttered. I’m honestly wishing I could send them back at this point. Definitely going to refrain from recruiting other kids in future playthroughs, unless I’m doing some kind of gimmick run


*At least the Deers do, I’m assuming the same is true for the other two houses

So I know non-Byleth characters have their paired ending decided by which A rank they have the most support points with and their top three are displayed on the stat screen, but does it take the other characters on the list into account at all? Like if a character’s number one choice has more support points with someone else, will it move down the list to the next available person?

Do beginner classes have any differences between them besides stat growth and the skill you learn from mastering them? Soldiers getting +2 def seems less what I want than more Speed or Strength or Magic, so I'm not sure what to do with all these lance users

The +2 stat skills from the beginner classes are superfluous. The real prize for mastering those classes are the movement abilities and Soldier gets you the best one, Reposition. Just stick ‘em in Soldier

Just finished the game on the Edelgard route :toot: Absolutely loved the game and the route I chose, but it's a bit of a shame how quickly it ended. There's so much left unexplored, and it practically ends with a "and then everything was fine the end."

without spoiling anything else (since I look forward to playing the other routes too) I've got a question; do the other routes go more in-depth into the world lore than this route? By which I mean Nemesis' deal, what the dragons even are, who the saints were, and so on. A simple yes/no is all I'm after :shobon:

You do get dialogue for it, it’s just from one of the randos hanging out at the monastery instead of any of the named characters. If you missed it he just talks about how Dedue made sure Edelgard’s funeral would have to be closed casket and then hosed off back to Duscur

I think I might make Manuela a pegasus knight this playthrough. She has the stats and skill proficiencies for it and her spell list kind of sucks. Yeah she has Warp but her range is rear end and Bolting is nice but her Reason is bad and I already have Hanneman and Dorothea for siege tomes. It’s a shame, it feels like Manuela would be perfect for dancer but the game forbids it

Taear posted:

I think in ideal world the combat arts and the spells would be directly tied to your class rather than specific to the character.
Or at least a mixture of that, so you can still get Diamond Axe on only a few people but everyone can get Smash by becoming a Brigand, that sort of thing.

Combat Arts work exactly like you describe but they’re tied to weapon ranks instead. Everyone does get Smash at D rank axes. All characters get the same art/ability at every weapon rank, with characters who have a skill proficiency (blue arrows) in that weapon type getting a unique art at C+ and A ranks.

Spell lists are the only thing that are completely unique on a per character basis, though there should definitely be equippable tomes that work like the Fire/Miasma/Heal class skills

Mulderman posted:

That's the one thing I really dislike. Having to learn skills like shove and having them take up a slot.
Gone are the days of bashing your dudes all over the map. But then again warp is really powerful and strong this time around, so it kinda evens out.

Due to dance, stride and warp shenanigans I have cleared multiple maps in seconds.

Those days are back in force in this game. You don’t really need more than two different combat arts per map

That's not true - because not everyone gets Exhaustive blow or Diamond Axe. Yea one or two of the arts are universal but not all of them.
I'm saying I'd rather they were tied to class than to skill ranks and character.

I didn’t say every character got every art, I said everyone gets the same arts/abilities at the same rank as everyone else while characters that specialize in that in that weapon type getting extras at C+ and A ranks. And certain classes do get unique arts when you master them, like Snipers getting exclusive access to Hunter’s Volley.

Also it’s good that every art isn’t universal because it makes the characters more unique
