Let's go for Annette, Felix and Ignatz, just based on who's performing well in my own playthrough right now.

Battler, the literal stupidest man on earth. Why are you even here, Battler, why did you come back to this place so you could fuck literally everything up?
Um... I have no idea who some of those people are, so I'm voting at a disadvantage. So, purely from liking their character designs: Felix, Annette, and... I flipped a coin to come up Ignatz.

There's also a wild "[Maneula]" sitting where there should be a portrait of Manuela should be for some of her dialogue.

Well, that sure is a lot of new faces introduced at once. Not much time before being forced to pick a house, either.

I dunno, go with the teachers? Manuela and Hanneman seemed cool. And this is just prior FEH exposure talking, but Hilda also seems interesting.

It's only the Final Battle once all the players are ready.

Manuela, Hanneman, and Shamir.

Honestly this is A Lot to take in at once but considering the structure of the game I'm not sure they could have done it any other way, not without making an already very long game even longer... And we do meet my favorite ADHD nap boy early on so, like, there's that.

Voting'll stay open for a few more hours, probably. I wanna spend a bit of time working on unit/class writeups. I've already got unit writeups for the Black Eagles students down, but I need to finish the rest.

Look, you clearly can't take the best one on the first route! Nobody else will live up to the bar he'll set!

Edit: I've yet to finish my first playthrough so I don't even know how good he is as a unit or for his supports, but the dude makes me smile.

Before I start working on the next update, let's take some time to get to know our units mechanically, yeah?

Adan/Abby.
Edelgard.
Hubert.
Ferdinand.
Linhardt.
Caspar.
Bernadetta.
Dorothea.
Petra.

I'll add info on Crests in a big Crest Megapost in the near future.

I’m shocked you’re doing this route first, but this should be fun.

And yeah, wyvern Petra is just the best. That’s the route I went for in my current run, and she just flies around maps deleting fools.

It’s great.

Counterpoint: I am seeing people attacking Assassin Petra with 0 percent hit chance.

It's quite hilarious.

Yeah, Petra can be good at both. re: Bernadetta, and archers in general: it helps them in this game that sniper class minimums will make their Str at least somewhat adequate if they get RNG screwed. She also gets deadeye, letting her attack at some crazy high range. Bad defense doesn't hurt anywhere near as much if you're too far for anyone to hit you.

Yeah, my general experience with Bernie is that even if she gets unlucky with STR growth, that's generally fixable through reclassing or items, and either through extreme range or canto you can generally keep her out of harms way enough that low defence doesn't matter.

Also yeah, count me mildly surprised on your choice of starting route. Intrigued though, this is going to be fun.

I generally solve Bernie's str growth issues by throwing boosters at her after she hits her advanced class.

Bulk issues are generally easy to fix as well by qualifying early for Armored Knight (and its 12 Def base), as long as you don't have a weakness in Axes/Armor.

Easy, Hilda, Felix, Shamir.

Also I want to take a moment to mention the default battle theme in this game:

Fodlan Winds. (Note: YouTube, so the recommended videos are based on your viewing habits which may or may not mean spoiler thumbnails. It's fine for me, at any rate.)

I really like the battle themes in the last few games. Like, FE has always had good music, but Conquest/Road Taken/With Mila's Divine Protection are all fantastic. Even so, I think this is my favorite of the default ones.
