  1. Let's begin with the obvious. Gilbert, for the reasons stated above. He's a pitiful excuse of a father who shrouds his ego with blind faith. Moreover, unless I'm mistaken (which is possible considering it's been a hot minute since I've played), he never repents or apologizes for his actions in his supports with Annette. Instead, it's empty assurances and tenuous-to-the-point-of-fracturing excuses. While I concede that the game deliberately paints him in a negative light, Gilbert does not put forth any meaningful attempt to amend his ways, instead He's a selfish old man. Annette deserves better. Lorenz, to me, is Ferdinand without character development. While his inability to follow his heart/dreams/aspirations/etc. are undoubtedly a result of his noble standing, he never grows beyond that. Now, in a medieval-feudal society like Fódlan, this is to be expected, but... ugh. Everything about Lorenz seems to bother me, from his design to his personality to his unveiled classist rhetoric to his overly saccharine, foppish speech. I wanted to like Leonie. Unhealthy obsession with Jeralt aside, she initially seemed like she had a determined, headstrong personality. Unfortunately, for me, the former trait is such a glaring flaw that even her hard-working attitude can't nullify it. Peppering her statements with his name every few words is, at the very least, mildly irritating, but she takes it to some pretty egregious extremes at times (her supports with Byleth come to mind). If more about Leonie's past with Jeralt was revealed, with particular emphasis on why she feels so drawn to him, then perhaps she might have more of an impetus for behaving the way she does. I find Caspar's Naruto-esque recklessness to be extremely annoying and borderline meme-y. His tenacity is admirable, but that's really where my fondness for him ends. I don't know how Linhardt puts up with him.
  2. In no particular order: 1. Claude 2. Marianne 3. Annette 4. Dimitri 5. Petra 6. Lysithea 7. Linhardt 8. Mercedes 9. Hapi 10. Ignatz
  3. Been a while since I updated this. 1. Eldigan 2. Reinhardt 3. Azura (Perf. Arts) 4. Oscar 5. Seliph 6. Ike (Vanguard) 7. Ike (regular) 8. Black Knight 9. Zelgius (currently my signature hero) 10. Elincia 11. Young Tiki 12. Katarina 13. Fjorm 14. Lucina (Brave Heroes) 15. Cordelia 16. Merric 17. Nowi 18. Delthea 19. Robin (M) 20. Lute 21. Chrom (Spring event) 22. Nino 23. Soren 24. Lissa (Summer event) 25. Leon 26. Roy Working on raising Michalis or Gerome to 5*, but that's still a grind yet.
  4. Addendum if you're still doing this: Adjust the Devil Axe's might to 25.
  5. Ramble On - Led Zeppelin Pull Me Under - Dream Theater Painkiller - Judas Priest Even Flow - Pearl Jam Freya - The Sword Two of Spades - Ensiferum First Kill - Amon Amarth Take Five - Dave Brubeck 21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson Toccata and Fugue in D Minor - Johann Sebastian Bach I Appear Missing - Queens of the Stone Age Astral Body - Between the Buried and Me Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones Yeah, it's pretty evident that I listen to a bit of everything...
  6. FE6: I find Dieck and his past as an Etrurian pit fighter fascinating. His friendship with Klein is a pretty great example of friendship crossing class boundaries. The fact that Pent and Louise allowed such a correspondence (probably due to Dieck saving Klein's life) exemplifies their compassion as well. FE7: Maybe it's the scholar in me, but I find Canas intriguing. FE8: Marisa, because shy sword waifu.
  7. FE6: Roy tended to need them the most. He's dead weight until promotion, after which the added boosts turned him into a bona fide beast. FE7: Nino because Afa's Drops + everything else turned her into a tiny adolescent nuke. FE8: Franz because he tends to need a leg up stat-wise.
  8. Well, shit, I'm not at liberty to kick a perfectly good Robin out of my bed. I would probably shrug and make a mental note to stop drinking sugary coffee before bed.
  9. I agree with the Angelic Robe suggestion. Your Lilina will get gutted by a sneeze with only 23 HP. She's decent otherwise, especially with that magic stat.
  10. Lord: Ephraim Cavalier: Forde (I'm weird, I'm aware) Myrmidon: Joshua Thief: Colm Archer: Innes Mage: Lute Holy: MOULDER THE BOULDER Macho Men: Gerik Flyer: Cormag Trainee: Ewan Other: Knoll. Summons are good for baiting enemies, but he's horrendous as a unit.
  11. Clarine + Rutger is an untouchable combo. Not even lances could touch the latter.
  12. Lord: Lyn Cavalier: Lowen Mercenary: Raven Myrmidon: Karel Fighter: Geitz Brigand: Dart for overall usage, Hawkeye for character. Knight: Wallace's lack of direction makes it way too funny not to use him, if only for shits and giggles. Pegasus: Florina Wyvern: Heath Thief: Legault Bishop: Lucius Mage: Pent Archer: Wil Refresher: Ninian One Class Wonders: Canas
  13. That's what I thought. Anyway, as @Azz astutely pointed out, it would indeed be the other way around.
  14. Final in-game team is slated to be: Primarina Alolan-Marowak Alakazam Magnezone Mudsdale Hawlucha I use a different team for post-game and second E4 and that's yet to be determined.
  15. I use Alolan Marowak. Great physical power and decent movepool. Salazzle isn't a bad choice either though, as it can destroy Fairy-types.
  16. Exploring Kala'e Bay a bit before heading to Ula'ala for the first time. Team: Mudsdale lv. 30 Marowak (Alolan) lv. 31 Magneton lv. 31 Kadabra lv. 31 (still awaiting my friend to tradeback me on it) Hawlucha lv. 30 Brionne lv. 32
  17. My first endgame team was: 1. Roy 2. Fae 3. Rutger 4. Clarine 5. Miledy 6. Lilina 7. Shin 8. Geese 9. Raigh 10. Noah On a subsequent playthrough, I revamped some of the weaker characters' starting stats and growth rates in Nightmare. Thus, my most recent team was: 1. Roy 2. Fae 3. Lilina 4. Dieck 5. Sophia 6. Wendy 7. Shin 8. Zeiss 9. Clarine 10. Gonzales
  18. You could do worse than Lyn. I'm not a fan of her low strength and terrible defense, but she's bound to be a better myrm than Guy, and she isn't even a proper myrm.
  19. Hrm... a Micaiah avatar... and your name is Ashley... I bequeath upon thee the moniker of Micashley. May you wear it with pride. Welcome to Serenes!
  20. Ross: Berserker. C'mon, are you really gonna use Dozla...? Amelia: General or Paladin. She's honestly not too great, but if you're set on using her, go with mobility. Ewan: Summoner if you feel like phantom-baiting. Otherwise go Druid.
  21. Radiant Dawn is incredibly fun. Seriously, play it. It's worth the difficulty.
  22. I mean, I guess Moulder's got physical resilience going for him, but I definitely agree with you there. Plus his Con makes it difficult for anyone not mounted to rescue him.
