I figure that there's going to be a combination of things that make awakenings easier to trigger as the game goes on, food buffs and skills that increase your meter gain and longer battles in general.

Yeah this feels like a Persona 5 Strikers kind of situation where it's a direct follow up to the previous title, not a spinoff.

So has anyone else noticed that there's room on the skill screen to equip way more than 4 skills? I'm guessing that'll be one of the camp upgrades in the full game.

It's okay, it took me a good long while to realize that the battle prep screen shows you what enemy types are in the stage.

One more dumb question, if I replay an older mission it doesn't increase supports or anything like that at all right, reward and gold only?

Replaying missions will give you everything a regular mission does, exp, class exp, money, items, weapons, support points, so on and so forth.

You can't get multiples of clear bonuses though, like if you got a bullion for your first clear or S-ranking the stage you can't get another by doing it again. And I'm just assuming but I don't think you can recruit characters on a replay.

Are adjutants good? I just realized I don't think I've used that mechanic even once yet.

I think the biggest advantage to adjutants is how they power up your supers for no cost. If you're fighting a boss and another character is nearby, it's definitely worth it to pair-up and get some burst damage. Otherwise I generally just use them tactically spread out.

So this is interesting. I just got Lorenz and Constance's C support after doing their paralogue and Lorenz actually references their competition in dialogue.

No after you finish the final map you can load up that save file and finish things up before starting NG+.

I am starring down the barrel of NG+ Azure Gleam just to get Lysithea her sword. I hate the Kingdom and I don't want to play this route so I'm pondering setting it to easy to see how fast I can blitz through it with just Shez and Mercedes.

Just turn down the volume, skip all the cutscenes, and listen to smooth jazz.

Not sure how much energy Linhardt, Constance and Lysithea are burning. Or are you suggesting the best cardio in the three houses universe is casting magic? :hmmyes:

Linhardt sure, but Lysithea is constantly burning the candle at both ends because she knows she doesn’t have a lot of time, and you can’t tell me that Mad-Scientist-Constance doesn’t burn a the midnight oil every night on her projects.

All Tricksters will have an elemental Blade combat art, either Lightblade, Iceblade, or Shadowblade. In my experience they're really good, spammable arts and you should use them a lot.

Finally finished Scarlet Blaze, and after some deliberation I think I'm gonna run it again on Maddening before going to other routes.

Regarding Arval like others have said their story seems incomplete but I can't really bring myself to give a poo poo about them so whatever.

Also, just gonna get this out of my system:

Renown carries over to NG+.

I don't believe that you get refunds on anything you've purchased, but all the things you buy (characters, items, and equipment) will also get carried over so you're never losing it.

The irony is that any changes Dimitri makes to society still have Edelgard to thank, since without her war giving him the excuse to purge anyone who isn't loyal to him he'd never be able to do anything.

"those who slither in the dark have launched a deadly strike using their mastery of the dark arts, to recruit some bandits"

Historically, recruiting bandits has worked out pretty well for them.

I always tried to find a combat art or spell that can just annihilate huge swaths of mooks and use it judiciously. The elemental blade arts you get from Thief are a great example.
