I am currently playing through Conquest Lunatic and am on Chapter 22. Here is my generic Pegasus Knight picking up a no risk kill: This is just for example; she already has Rally Speed from picking up similar Attack Stance kills during Chapters 16-17: Here’s Xander stats (I gave him 2 Speedwings): He has 27 Spd, which goes to 31 Spd with Rally Speed. This allows him to double Blacksmiths on the map (24 Spd): In fact, with 31 Spd he doubles everyone on the map except for Sakura and Hana.

This is my preference of course, but I do believe the little extra effort needed to get a generic Pegasus Knight Rally Speed is worthwhile. Rally Speed is really good, it's worth spending few extra turns/kills and a deployment slot. Also, you don't have to deploy the generic every chapter. I usually don't use it on chapters 12 and 13. The generic pegasus knight is the best option for getting Rally Speed imo. The next best is Selena, but that requires a Heart Seal. Also, I prefer using BK Selena as a pairup for Xander. Azura can get it, but she's the dancer lol. Shigure is a pretty good option, you can wait until chapter 21 and he will get it through auto leveling with the offspring seal. But that requires pairing Azura, which might not be too bad, but I haven't tried it.

You can capture a generic pegasus knight in Chapter 10 for Rally Speed. Give them exp through attack stance and promote them at level 10. Then you need 5 more levels for Rally Speed. I usually get it on Chapter 17.

You can also visit other people's castles to collect resources, although some may consider this "cheating". The way Fates handles the resource system is quite frustrating otherwise. The starting ore/farm can make a huge difference. Even then, it can take a while to build up the amount you need. The fact that it is tied to real world time is really annoying. Because of this, I partly believe the resources were balanced around you visiting other people's castle. At this point, whenever I play Fates, I just give myself 99 of every resource. It feels way more fun to play when I can take advantage of forging/meal boosts/fast recruit prisoners/Chef hat without having to wait. Also, on topic: I personally don't think knight is very good. The best thing about knight is the Great Knight guard stance boosts, +2 Str +4 Def +1 Mov if I remember correctly. But if I had to give it to someone, maybe Xander? You could make some Pavise/Aegis/Sol meme build or something.

Thanks, so you only need to fully explore once per month. Thanks for the link. In particular, I was concerned about the items that boost professor rank. I'm guessing those are random? I mostly find them in the 1F Dormitories (I don't it's possible to find them in the 2F Dormitories, let me know if I'm wrong), Officers' Academy, Library, and I think I even found one in the Reception Hall.

Let's say you explore in the first week of a month and collect all the blue sparkle items in the monastery. Is it possible for more blue sparkle items to spawn if you explore in the following weeks? Also, is there any guide for locations of the blue sparkle items?

Is it true that all pre-timeskip paralouges are available as long as you have at least one of the units? I don't remember ever getting Hilda/Cyril despite having Cyril.

I wish someday we can say this about FE5.

I sent you a PM.

I played FE4 on my phone. I can try helping you if you have an Android. Idk about iOS. From what I've heard, it's pretty hard to emulate on iPhones.

It's pretty easy to improve Charlotte's hitrates. Removing Gamble and giving her an Iron is +15% hit. She has WTA vs lances/shurikens and can use the Dual Club for Swords/Magic. If you put her in Hero she can have WTA vs Axe/Bow users too. Then there's also support boosts/tonics/etc. She won't have 100% hitrates all the time but it definitely makes her more reliable.

The only Rally you really need is Speed, and that's super easy to get because of Selena.

Excuse me, I dance grinded Azura up to level 30 on her join chapter. Then I grinded MyCastle Battles and got a A+ with Effie. I changed her into General, her most optimal class, and bought her valuable skills like Astra, Defensive Formation and Dragonskin, and gave her a Guard Naginata. She tanked extremely well and I wouldn't have been able to beat Conquest Normal/Phoenix mode without her.

Guard stance is way better then attack stance. The guaranteed dual guard and the stats it can give are ridiculous(See: Charlotte, Rinka, Keaton, Arthur, Corrin's servants). Plus, almost every enemy in the game is unpaired, so guard stance negates enemy attack stance. I've seen some enemies waste their attack, just to get an attack stance set up. The AI doesn't realize your units are in guard stance, and will keep trying to use attack stance. Pairup bots make the game so much easier. Less, quality units > More, average units. Fire Emblem has always been like this. Fates isn't an exception. You are probably thinking of Fates' exp curve, but that doesn't matter either. There are many other resources besides experience. Tonics, weapons, statboosters, forges(which are ridiculous in Fates, +2 Mt is amazing, and its not hard at all to get to +2), and heart seals. It's much better to funnel these resources into 5-6 combat units, each with their own pairup bot.

I'm doing a CQ Lunatic run and I'm on Ch23. I figured I could take some pictures of Camilla vs common enemies to show how ridiculous she gets. This is a no-grind/DLC/skillbuying/paralouges/etc run.
