Lord Koth posted:I don't think there is synergy though? Both seem to be in-combat activations for themselves, so not exactly sure how you'd stack them. crits are good if it's hard to one-round enemies and bad otherwise, and it seems like this is a game where you will not be lacking for offensive power

lih posted:does anything actually suggest that the thirteenth emblem is alear or is that just speculation for now? Not explicitly, but the person with access to the preview initially posted a follow-up that very strongly suggested the guess was right and expressed astonishment at how bold the JP marketing team was to post a video that just barely kept some crucial plot element out of frame. They've since edited that out. Zoran fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Jan 10, 2023 |

You can also regenerate the bond ring RNG seed by starting a battle, immediately restarting it using the in-game menu, and leaving to go back to the Somniel, where you would then save and pull rings again. So if time is no object, you can arbitrarily force any S rank ring from your current emblem pools by spending as little as 100 bond fragments. As mentioned above, if you pull a character you don’t want from Emblem A, and they’re in slot 1 for Emblem A, you can reset and re-pull to get any slot 1 character from the other Emblems at the same rank.

I think the main problem with having all the DLC emblems will be that they completely negate the gameplay shift that happens after chapter 10. Also, a Camilla!Mage Knight completely usurps Ivy’s main niche…

Harrow posted:There's no reason not to inherit Lineage on everyone early on if you have DLC, right? It's 150 SP for +20% EXP, which also means you get more SP so it'll definitely pay for itself. And early on it's not like you're going to be able to afford more than one or two cheap skills so it's not taking a skill slot that would be better used for a combat-relevant skill until much later when you don't need it anymore. Lineage and Mentorship suffer from the same problem that Nobility did in Fates and that Veteran did not have in Awakening: the EXP floor is too low for them to really help. In general the +20% EXP bonuses amount to about one extra level’s worth of EXP (or about 50-100 SP) due to the way that EXP scales down when you get ahead of the level curve. It may pay off in SP terms if you’re getting experience primarily from support actions like healing or dancing, but not if you’re exclusively a combat unit. Lineage can roughly break even just because it comes super early, it almost returns its own SP cost, and it does give you an extra level’s worth of experience. Mentorship is a worse deal that is probably only worthwhile on Seadall, since he has a bona fide level target to rush to. The math may be slightly more favorable for these skills on difficulties below Maddening.

Natural 20 posted:Instincts said that this wouldn't work on Maddening but fortunately I have a chapter 10 save so I could check. Great Thunder and Raging Fire work by multiplying your final damage by 1.2 (rounded down), so they essentially multiply not only your own magical attack power but also the enemy res by 1.2. It is feasible to reach one-shot kill thresholds with Thoron + Great Thunder, but it takes a bit more help than what you have here. Great Thunder and Raging Fire are better than the magical Emblems if you’re trying to hit those thresholds, but if you’re doubling things with Elfire/Bolganone and you’re shooting for two-shot kill thresholds, Raging Fire will tend to be a little worse than the two best magical Emblems in vanilla (Celica and Ephraim).

Shiny777 posted:Meteor's enemy only. Soren's got Bolting, though, so I'd assume you could stick his bracelet and Dual Assist+ on someone in a backup class and get up to some extremely stupid poo poo for 3-4 turns if so inclined. Dual Assist+ does nothing if you don’t independently have the ability to chain attack. You must be a backup unit or have Lucina equipped. e: I totally misread this!

Einander posted:I don't know who decided that chapter 13's fliers should be entirely axe and sword, but that does let a base level Kagetsu changed over to Wyvern Knight solo the entire waterfront for free even on Maddening. It would have taken every single incoming attack over the course of the entire chapter hitting him to kill, assuming that the ones with Smash weapons could even survive long enough to attack him. Well, to be fair, that’s impossible without DLC.

Kanos posted:Most of the "later characters are flat out better!" talk is very overblown, but Kagetsu is absolutely just completely jacked. Not only are his bases incredible, he's also got some of the highest total growths in the entire game and basically crushes the hell out of any physical class you want to put him in. They seemingly tuned some of the prepromotes, particularly Kagetsu and Pandreo, with the idea that they would be limited by their bad classes. Too bad Engage has made reclassing more trivial than in any other game since New Mystery!

Endorph posted:like the post above says there are a variety of skills like that, and i think for a decent chunk of the game the four hounds only have 'reduced' not 'remove.' Maddening gives essentially all bosses (except the final one!) Veteran+, which negates effectiveness entirely.

On maddening you get four skirmishes in the entire campaign, IIRC, with the first appearing after chapter 11.

On Maddening in particular, you get 13 experience for a same-level kill, and it basically increments by 1 or 2 points per level in either direction depending on which way the level difference goes. Mentorship’s 20% experience boost essentially just kicks you up one tier on the experience reward scale, going from 13 to 15 for a same-level kill. In other words, once they’ve pulled ahead by about 100 EXP, your unit gets the same experience with Mentorship as they would have gotten without it. It does not pay itself back. You’re essentially paying net ~150 SP (and a skill slot) for All Stats +0.5 or so from your extra 100 EXP. e: I think on lower difficulties you just get something like twice as much EXP as on maddening? In that case the point about getting the same EXP once Mentorship has pulled you ahead by 100 still stands. Zoran fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Feb 28, 2023 |

The priority order for Adaptable is Range, WTA, Effectiveness, Total Derived Stats (all but Weight), and finally Inventory Slot. You can make Brionac out-prioritize Light Brand against non-axe ranged weapons by giving it an engraving that boosts its Hit, Crit, Avo, or Dodge.

Harrow posted:The fact that you can fairly reliably get a couple hundred more SP per battle, and will sometimes get like 1500 or more, that you can just give to any unit you want is a game changer for skill inheritance. A lot of things that were previously out of reach without insane grinding are now well within reach. Like it wouldn't even be that crazy to inherit something like Speedtaker and Lunar Brace on the same unit or something. Or you could actually inherit Hold Out to put on a Vantage/Wrath unit. And those are on the lower end. Alas, even though some flashier combos are possible now, it’s still correct for basically everyone to choose Canter(+) and then one of the boring stat increase skills (especially Speed, any of the Power skills, or maybe Strength or Magic). Lunar Brace is perhaps the most promising of the super-expensive skills, but it still really depends on having good stats otherwise, especially Speed, so that you can double and deal meaningful damage with braves. It might be good in combination with Marth, Roy, or Lyn. Sword Power solves the main problem that magic Griffins (read: Chloe) had, namely that they couldn’t keep up with the kill thresholds the way a speed-boosted Mage Knight with a forged Bolganone could, so they couldn’t beat everything on enemy phase once the enemies grew strong enough. Now, the most mindless way to beat the game is probably to have Lucina!Alear @ Wyvern/Griffin spam bonded shield for Sword Power Griffin Eirika!Chloe, occasionally joined by the likes of Wyvern Kagetsu and Lindwurm Ivy.
