  1. In this game, +Str or +Mag are regarded as the best assets. Honestly, I don't think that your class path is doable if you want to Reclass anyone else. I don't know exactly how many seals you get, mind, but even if you do you won't be getting very much EXP and it could be tedious to train. Really you don't need to have optimized skills, it's just overkill at that point. I'd just go Nohr Princess --> Samurai --> Swordmaster. If you really wanted to you could jump back to Hoshido Noble, but if you do wind up running +Str/-Mag, your speed won't be anything to write home about, whereas with Swordmaster you will still be able to do a ton of damage and you will never have to worry about Spd problems. However, you will mostly just be fighting slow Nohr enemies, so you should be fine.
  2. A few questions for specifics: -Asset/Flaw? -In-game or postgame? -What difficulty? -Grinding or no? Because you have to keep in mind that Seals are rarer, money is finite without DLC, and you only get so many levels.
  3. It depends on if he needs them (obviously). He should be fine. A +Mag DK will have a 55% Spd growth. We also have to account for time spent as Nohr Prince and DM, where he has a 60% growth. If you are struggling with Spd just switch him over to Nohrian Noble for 65% growth. Save your Speedwings for dire Spd emergencies. As for Mag, unless the game hates you like no other, there is no chance you will need Spirit Dusts: he'll have a 65% growth as a DM and 55% as a DK.
  4. Hayato? Are his bases pumped or something, or is it just his joining time making him more of a Lugh or Erk than a Ricken?
  5. I haven't heard anything about Revelations. Is there any Corrin build in particular that works especially well in that path, or units that stick out there because of bases/availability?
  6. The thing that your Servant tosses at a boss so your scrubs can pretend to be useful.
  7. Defensive Formation is unnecessary, yes, but she doesn't have to use it. Her Skl is bad, and GK has one of the lowest Skl caps in the game, and with dodgy enemies like Ninjas and Samurai milling about, General's much higher Skl is preferable. She could swing through GK for Luna and Elbow Room, but otherwise she's better off as a General since Silas will be hauling her around on an 8 Mov Horse anyways. Also would the resulting Sophie want to go with Pally or Hero? Luna/Aegis + Sol + the highest class Skl cap in the game sounds like an enticing argument for Hero, but dat 8 Move.
  8. How is Pally!Silas x General!Effie in Conquest Lunatic? They don't really get anything special in terms of marriage seals, but Silas can cart Effie around the map or at least to the front lines and she can wreck face from there. They have great synergy in Guard Stance, too, with Effie boosting Silas's Str and Def and Silas boosting Effie's Skl for effective use of Axes and Spd just a little bit to help her double if she isn't doing so already. Sophie will destroy all. It seems good on paper, but how does it work out in-game?
  9. ^And much better growths to boot. Also, as stated before, GK Jakob is, with support from a Elite Ninja S-ranked Corrin, one half of a deadly, map-clearing power couple, with Corrin having more Spd and 1-2 Range while Jakob is pure beef and has enough Speed to be competent.
  10. Distinguished Son and the other aura skills don't work from the back of a Pair Up like in Awakening iirc.
  11. Reposting this because I just edited it into another post: If Dwyer is the product of a +Str -Mag Corrin, would Cavalier be to slow? His mother is a Elite Ninja and so Kanna will be, too, so they won't have this problem, but Dwyer doesn't inherit Ninja... This is in Hoshido so I suppose he could A+ Asugi for Ninja but that seems too time consuming. However he could just marry/be besties with someone who gives some Spd.
  12. I'm pretty sure that their marriage gets Felicia Diviner, which might be good for her. Also Kaden gets Merc, for what that's worth. Kinu gets the shaft, yes, but her Magic growth isn't terrible at 30%, only 5 less than Felicia's, and with Spellcaster's 15% it gets to a respectable 45%. Her Spd growth is pretty good at 40%. Her Res will be pretty awesome at . Also, her Str growth is 40%, so she could make a good Basara, too. Alternatively she could go Maid for Hidden Weapons and later the Explosive Shuriken. E: Also regarding Dwyer what if he is the product of a +Str -Mag Corrin? He could be a good Cavalier, but he won't inherit Ninja (Corrin's class) unfortunately. Ninja inheritance would be convenient because he could Child Seal to Butler for a good Kunai rank and then Second Seal to Elite Ninja, but alas. E2: Yeah, Kaden would get Rod Knight. Damn, that sucks for him.
  13. It's actually not that bad. Kaden gets Merc and Felicia gets Diviner, which is pretty awesome for her. Kinu's Magic isn't that bad, actually. She winds up getting a 30% growth, 45% with Spellcaster. Her strength is about 27%, so if she gets Strength blessed she could wind up going mixed as a Maid or Basara. Her Spd is pretty great. She gets Tomefaire, Sol from inheritance from Felicia or Kaden, Flamboyant, Even Nap for more healing, and a Poison skill (Four Fangs) alongside her personal. Weird, but not bad.
  14. Is Dwyer better off as a Staffbot with wonky growths or is it worth suffering through E weapon ranks to get a stronk Dwyer?
  15. Saizo is by no means mediocre, he just needs some love when you first get him. His Speed won't be bad for long and his Str is great and his Mag is uncanny. Once he gets his mitts on an Explosive Shuriken he will be a terrifying mixed attacker. Setsuna would be a good choice to boost his stats early on, but Ninja has a crazy class Spd growth and he will not need Speed for long, but Setsuna will make sure he stays fast. All in all solid, I'd say!
  16. Corrin prefroms well as literally anything if set up right, but he prefers classes with Sword access because the Yato destroys all once it starts upgrading. Under the assumption that this is a Maids/Butlers only run, I would run either +Str or +Mag. +Str is to get around the weak might of low-rank Kunai until you can use stronger weapons, but +Mag can destroy all with the Explosive Shurkien, and Corrin's Str growth is no slouch even with a flaw like -Lck or -Skl that detracts from it, making him a deadly Mixed attacker past C rank Kunai. The easiest way to get Corrin Butler is to pick Rod Knight as his secondary. Hope this helped!
  17. So Kaze and Azura join you in Nohr later on, and I was wondering if their stats and weapon ranks carry over in later chapters, or should I feed all of the EXP to Corrin?
  18. So do we have any kind of tier list for any of the routes? Also how is Gunter when you get him back in Nohr?
  19. Honestly I'd say that Benny is like a Kellam or a Gilliam: You put him somewhere, he tanks with his face and pokes at his enemies while one of your Mages or Archers or anyone with a 2 range weapon that can double hides behind him and mops up his leftovers. The only stats that really matter to him are his Defenses, which he'll have plenty of. Also, he joins late and he won't be getting that much EXP because he doesn't have Effie's abhorrent Strength to OHKO, so he won't be getting enough EXP to justify trying to get him to 20/5 by endgame let alone 20/20. The immediate boost from early promotion is really the only thing that will make his use justifiable in Lunatic mode.
  20. So I'm intrigued by the +Mag Paladin and I have a few questions. 1) Is -Lck the best flaw here because it doesn't hit your defenses and barely touches your offenses? 2) Is it worth going through Samurai for Swordfaire? Otherwise the skills are pretty much useless, Astra can't proc with the Levin Sword, you won't be OHKOing so Vantage is more or less useless. The only other one of real merit is Duelist's Strike for a potentially damage free Player Phase. 3) Is the Shirai Nagitana available in Nohr for more Weapon Triangle control? Thanks!
  21. ALL OF HENRY'S. I want "Special delivery~" to be my text tone. "Pick a god and pray!"- I already loved that quote, but those sweet, sweet words in Lunatic mode were almost enough to bring me to tears of joy. All of Owain's, especially his guttural yelling and "HAND.... HUNGERS!". Something about "Checkmate." from Male Robin's Voice 1. The way he delivers it is just awesome. Inigo's voice in general is sexy enough, but the jaunty, winning way he says "This is your last dance!" and "No hard feelings!" is just too much. Severa's "I've had ENOUGH!". The way Cherce delivers her crits is great. I like the way Stahl's conflict with his calm personality, showing a lot of exhilaration. Among others, these stand out the most. Edit: Also how LQ's sound like he is scolding an unruly toddler. And IS GREGOR TIME!
  22. Just pray to God that Stahl's stats are pumped enough to salvage her. Also I'm saving most of the paralogues for the children anyhow. If there was a Magic bow, Ricken!Laurent would be completely boss but alas.
  23. Thanks for the feedback! @Czar_Yoshi I'm reclassing to Archer as soon as they are Lv.10+ and I get my mitts on a Second Seal, so Severa won't be in any class besides Merc, Archer, and then Sniper. Stahl will go from Cavalier to Archer to Sniper and stay there. Nobody will be any class but their base and Archer. No Galeforce (outside of Jamke), Counter, Aggressor, Pass, or any of the other usual Archer tricks. It keeps them as Archer/Sniper as long as possible, diversifies the various Snipers, and makes the game harder.
  24. I'd go Merc --> Hero -->Warrior for AT, Sol, Axebreaker, and then Warrior for Bows, overkill Str, good Defense, absurdly strong Braves, and 1-2 range when there aren't counter enemies milling about.
  25. That's just the thing. Should I marry Cordelia to Virion or Stahl? Virion can pass down Bowfaire earlier and has a higher Spd growth, but Stahl gives her more... Well... Everything but Magic and Spd. The Spd is pretty bad, only 48% with class bonuses. I know that Stahl is generally chosen because of his great skill pool and that growths don't matter in postgame, but he seems to make a pretty solid Severa here, too. Which is better for this run?
