Most of people won't have problem with those mechanics but for new players? Sure this is helpfull. Nice guide for newbies for sure. :P I might send this to my friend which want to play Fates, whenever EU will get this game~

it can't crit, double or use offensive skills, without huge bage magic you won't do much. Also vs maxed-stat units this will be even worse.

Mostly because nosferatu don't work that well anymore. He's bad Story-wise but for min-maxing he can be one of the best mages i belive (from parents at least)

Well Mozu as also good anty-mage, use on her paralogue dreadfighter seal (on lvl 1) and give her few kills, you're set with her. Imo Azama is worth training, but if you'll reclass him right after recruit (dread fighter is going again there) Well on Hoshido if you want a mage, Hayato might work with training, he actually can double unlike Orochi without tonics, i also heard Hayato makes great oni chieftain, Oboro on Hoshido is really important imo, she's one of the best tanks you'll get (right with Hinoka), Also Hinoka can reclass for lance fighter which is nice, I wouldn't even care about Orochi on Hoshido, Setsuna (even if i love her) doesn't have good growths as well, Rinkah is only good guard-stance fodder, also Setsuna is ok guard-stance fodder for slow units like Hinata. On Nohr i've heard story-wise Odin isn't that great, basically any mage than Leo isn't great, but if you want to choose other mage than Leo then i would suggest Elise or Nyx. Charlotte is like Rinkah, mainly good guard-stance fodder (mostly preffered for Xander by most of people) Benoit isn't worth for sure, but Effie is, you have her from the very start and on chapter you'll get Benny(Benoit) he'll be underleveled comparing to the Effie, also Effie have better passive to OHKOing. Arthur is guard-stance fodder as well, Effie!Arthur can do most of the job, you might want to have this pairing if you want Effie to destroy EVERYTHING on her way. That's all i think? Maybe not? dunno. :s

Hana makes good Mitama as well, any physical mother does in fact.

it depends how much you actually use healers, i know person that barely use healers like, you have 2 less hp? won't heal for addtional exp but when unit was REALLY hurt so healers was preety last to promote LOL

Don't forget that both puppet and user share HP, if one will get hit, other will take damage as well, if puppet die, user die as well.

Well about sakura, if you want ot use her as combat unit story-wise it's good idea to fast promote her, or use on her ebon wing for dark flier. If you want to focus on healing at 20 lvl. Sakura have good power as Exorcist because of her high Mag, but as someone was tiping in one of my topics War priestess is better in general but have only 2 might less than exorcist in many ways. story wise? Definitely exorcist (at lvl 10 if you want her combating), if you're intresting in better late/aftergame Priestess is way to go.

On hoshido he's lvl 1, like Mozu, even reclassing won't help him comparing even to Mozu (which have apptitude)

Hana comparision to Hinata? well sure for tanking you can't take Hana, but Hana will actually doubly enemy without special weapons or support. Hana is glass canon, Hinata is tank, how can you compare them? They both are good in diffrent ways. Also it's like compare Azama to Sakura, Azama doesn't have mag. growth so comparing him to Sakura as Healer obviously will loose but when you will use him as offensive unit (aka dread fighter) he can be compared to the other assasins. Every character have it's strenght and it's weakness, some characters you can't compare, it's just wrong imo.

Why not? there will be future dlc's so "hope never dies" XD

It's all about bases, in Hoshido he have horrible ones, In Revelations he's one of best mages you'll get. :P

There is also skill called "Proximity shot" however you can't get this right now, this will be probably aviable from future dlc's

Watching OmegaEvolution streams LOL

Well, Azura works well at great-lord if you won't sing with her much. Lodestar? No idea, even Lobster would benefit from it but he have already trueblade, Maybe Hinata? He needs speed tho. It's really your choice, there are alot of characters which will benefit from those.

Well Azama and his daughter are stricte physical so they benefit from Dread fighter more than thier priest class. (early promoted Azama rape everything, like Mozu) DF wings? If you want to have good mage in Hoshido, give it to Sakura how fast you can, she's best mage you'll get in this route (get on that those seals you can use before lvl 10)

That's what i'm talking about, She don't really need much kills in early tho, all you want to do is get her C rank shurikens, after getting explosive she'll kill most of enemy anyway. You're getting weapon prof. by just fighting, not killing right? Jakob is loosing his strenght on Late, he won't be really able to one shot anyone but at this point you have other units to do so. It's all personal preference. I prefer Felicia because he's better healer (i like to use 2 healers) and she have damage after C Shurikens which is just right after her D start.

But it's all about growths, I'm preety sure when you're getting her lvl you will almost always have better mag. than she joined at chapter 16. Also that's why i said Jakob have better early, in early he's doing more damage but on mid/late Felicia wins, Explosive shuriken destroy everything also she have much better healing than Jakob, in general she end up better as Maid than Jakob as Butler. (Jakob should be reclasses as fast he can for something better physically)

you're forgotting that Felicia main strenght is Explosive Shurikens which you can get in both Conquest and Brightright. She's Mag. based. Unlike Joker she won't do that much with normal shurikens (Joker is str based, so he have better early as well) But as battle units Felicia ends better after hitting C rank with weapon, her Explosive shuriken destroy every ass in the way.

One best mage in Hoshido is fast promoted Sakura, promote her at lvl 10 and there you go! Hayato have bad lvl/bases, Orochi -2 spd 30% spd growth isn't good. Sakura join fast, you can get her lvl 10 fast as well, promote isn't hard to do as well. Izana is fine, however he's kinda late in-game which sucks.

Rinka have one use story-wise - Pair-up bot. Her +4 str +4 def in guard stance is good, and it's only from class so yeah. use her as pair-up bot or don't use her.

I somehow like Camilla growths as Rev more~ They're better all-rounded up imo.

it's actually worth for Lunatic runs only imo. She's too fragile to take any shot and if the she need to take one, after grinding she will probably be able to do it actually!

Is this possible to get bonus for 3 paths for no SE users before Revelation relese? I mean can you buy it but this will be locked or you can't even buy it for now?
