Indignation211

I am the crappiest writer I know and yet even I have managed to come up with several ideas to improve the story. For now I'll share the one that keeps most of the existing elements intact. The first big change comes with the crystal ball scene. Now instead of just Kamui, all of the siblings are let in on the big reveal: that the man whom they thought was their father is actually an impostor (and monster) who murdered their real father. Between that and their misgivings about the direction Nohr has been going as a kingdom, the siblings vow to bring down the impostor and reform the kingdom themselves. However they cannot simply assassinate Garon right then and there, he has fanatical supporters throughout the kingdom who would turn on the siblings at the slightest hint of treason. Furthermore it is clear this impostor is some inhuman monster who cannot be killed through conventional means. Which brings us to the other big change in this scene, they do NOT learn about the throne of Hoshido here, in fact the siblings leave this scene with a clear end goal but no knowledge of how to achieve it. So now the siblings are openly following Garon's orders but also secretly searching for clues on how to defeat him. The battles in the various duchies can be used for this purpose. The siblings must gather clues in secret lest the likes of Ganz or Iago expose them and get them all branded traitors. Eventually the siblings get all the pieces they need and put them together. They can use the throne of Hoshido to expose Garon's true form and then use Aqua's song to weaken him. Of course with their history of war it is unlikely the Hoshido royals will simply allow this and are also unlikely to believe anything the Nohr royals say without seeing Garon's true form for themselves. With no other recourse the campaign to conquer Hoshido is launched with the main priority being securing the capital. Once the capital is secure the siblings now have everything they need to make thier move against Garon. They plan a grand ceremony in the Hoshidan capital where Garon will assert himself as the new ruler of that kingdom. This will of course involve Garon sitting on the throne which will spring the siblings' trap. Once Garon is exposed by the throne and weakened by Aqua's song the siblings pull out any other special weapons they acquired and have the big climactic battle. With Garon exposed and defeated the siblings are able to take control of Nohr (and possibly Hoshido too) and work together as a family to rebuild their war-torn land and possibly reform some of the more evil polices Garon had put into place.

(Marked spoilers for discussion of Kanna) Let's face it guys, quite a few of us are going to fall under the spell of Camilla's charms (and other assets), so if we are going to accept our fate we might as well get the most out of the relationship. First, let's look at the hard facts: Avatar --------- Growth Rates (before Asset/Flaw): HP 45%, Str 45%, Mag 30%, Skl 40%, Spd 45%, Lck 45%, Def 35%, Res 25%. Class Set: Dark Prince Personal Skill: Mysterious Appeal Obtainable Skills: Noble Lineage, Dragon Fang, Draconic Curse, Nohr Camilla ---------- Growth Rates: HP 40%, Str 50%, Mag 25%, Skl 50%, Spd 55%, Lck 25%, Def 35%, Res 45% Max Stats: Str +1, Mag -1, Skl +1, Spd +1, Lck -2, Def +1 Class Set: Wyvern Rider, Dark Mage Personal Skill: Bewitching Flower Obtainable Skills: Strength +2, Cut Through, Rally Defense, Swordbreaker, Deadly Breath, Overbearing, Bind, Devilish Wind, Vengeance, Bowbreaker, Magic Seal, Lifetaker Kanna --------- Growth Rates (base): HP 30%, Str 35%, Mag 30%, Skl 40%, Spd 45%, Lck 45%, Def 25%, Res 25% Class Set: Dark Princess, Wyvern Rider, Dark Mage Personal Skill: Dragon Child Obtainable Skills: Noble Lineage, Dragon Fang, Draconic Curse, Nohr, Strength +2, Cut Through, Rally Defense, Swordbreaker, Deadly Breath, Overbearing, Bind, Devilish Wind, Vengeance, Bowbreaker, Magic Seal, Lifetaker We will also assume the following: 1) Avatar and Camilla will fight toghether as much as possible, whether it be Attack or Guard Stance. 2) We want Kanna to be as good as possible. So based on this information, we want to determine the following: 1) Ideal Asset, Flaw, and secondary class for the Avatar. 2) Ideal class and skill setups for all three characters. 3) Ideal husband for Kanna (optional) My two cents: I'm going to start by analyzing Camilla as she is the most defined of the three characters from the start. Her strengths are her Str, Skl, Spd and to a lesser extent Res. She starts off as a Revenant Knight and as such would make a great mage-killer if not for Magic's weapon triangle advantage over axes. Personally I think she would be better off as a Wyvern Lord which would emphasize her strengths better while also giving her some much needed HP and Def. I personally don't forsee getting much mileage out of her Dark Mage line. Since we are looking at a strength-focused Camilla we probably want a strength-focused Avatar to complement her. I'm no expert at Fire Emblem waifu min-maxing but the obvious choice seems to be Strength for Asset and Magic for Flaw, though that does reduce our speed a bit. The secondary class is a much more difficult choice. I'm thinking either Cavalier, Knight, or Fighter could work. Both Cavalier and Knight include Great Knight and thus the ever-useful Luna. Cavalier gives us Rescue and Aegis, while Knight gives us Pavise. Fighter means Berserker and thus Axefaire which Camilla would certainly love. Alternatively Brave Hero gives us Sol. And of course our darling daughter Kanna inherits all of the above. Like I said I'm no expert at this stuff so I'm looking forward to what you guys have to contribute. o.ob
