RIP recruitment I guess.

I guess it's not dead in the sense that if you have a certain relationship with a character you might be able to recruit them when the path goes from school to the war

Petra is gonna be a super flexible unit. I can see using her as a Swordmaster, a Hero, a Sniper, a Bow Knight, a Peg Knight, a Wyvern Knight, or even a Paladin.

heroes are male-locked again so sadly the foreign queen can't have a bad rear end cape

Since I was bored, I threw together a sheet based on all known information for all the units. The first sheet is weapon proficiencies with preferences, and the second is skills and crests

Couple things, Felix's crest is actually major, not minor. I think a couple of the others are, too. One of Lysithea's? Also I think Dedue and Linhardt's skills work if they move then wait.

I feel that the fourth route will be some kind of golden ending where you unite the continent

it would be cool to be the Black Eagles, but Dicks but I feel that it's hard to stay away from a plot that brings everyone together at the end

If I understand this correctly, if you’ve got the weapon rank you can use the weapon regardless of class? Because I happened to see a Merc Byleth using a lance

So far I don’t really have a concrete plan other than the above. Petra seems good for Thief, and I’m probably gonna make Sylvain and Ferdie cavs. Not sure what to do with my Byleth just yet

I took down the bonus boss in Chapter 4! Here's how I did it:


These are the Death Knight's stats. He can counterattack from anywhere, is sitting on an obnoxious +40 Avoid tile, has 15 AS, and gets a powerful weapon with a high crit rate. He doesn't move at first, but if you ever attack him, he will activate on enemy phase and use his 8 Movement to kill someone.



For my strategy, I wanted a Lord, who provides +3 damage to adjacent allies with the Charm skill; a strong bow unit who could attempt to get chip damage from the other avoid tiles; Byleth; and a powerful Lance user with C Lances.

Since I'm playing Golden Deer, Claude was my Lord and my bowman in one, while Leonie was my best lancer. Leonie works particularly well because she gets +2 damage from being adjacent to men, and my Lord is male, so she gets +5 when she's next to him. By this point, I had also raised Byleth to level 10 and promoted him to Mercenary.

Other characters chipped in too. Hilda's personal skill gives a damage boost to men:



And I got Ignatz up to D Authority earlier, which unlocks Rally Speed for him. That let him rally Claude, pushing Claude's AS high enough that the DK couldn't double him.



If I hadn't rallied, I would have to pray for at least one miss and no crits. But now, Claude only has to avoid the crit. You might have noticed Petra over on the other side of the boss; she's there just to provide support bonuses, giving a small boost to my hit rates.



Now my Lord is on a diagonal from the boss. Anyone adjacent to him will get +3 damage, so in particular the squares above him and to his right get the boost. Before I exploit that, I move Hilda up. I need to block the mage in the north, or else that mage and the one to the west would both be able to attack a single unit. That would be bad news because the Death Knight cripples anyone who attacks him.



Byleth moves in. He also needs to avoid a crit, but his Speed is naturally high enough that he doesn't get doubled when using a light enough Sword. If it weren't that high, I would have to use a Gambit from Jeralt's Mercenaries for chip damage instead (with a much worse hit rate), and my other attackers would have to use Steel weapons, which have worse Hit and would weigh them down.



Lastly, Leonie finishes things with Knightkneeler.





She gets a nice reward for her efforts.




We're not out of the woods yet! Since Claude didn't dodge, he's so weak that the western mage will one-shot him.



But Marianne is here to save the day with Physic.



So the three mages around the Death Knight move in, but everyone lives, and we're ready to take on the rest of the map.




These are excellent tactics
