I originally posted this as a separate thread, and then I realized that was a terrible idea because this thread exists! For my optimized Revelation file, I'm likely going to use a Female Avatar, and then have her marry Shiro (for personal reasons... lol). So, unless Kagero is needed elsewhere, I'm going to pair her with Ryoma to give him solid mods and a perfect hair color. I'd really appreciate some advice for my avatar's Boon/Bane with Kana's inheritance (and her own combat) in mind. Right now, I'm looking at +Str, +Skl, or +Spd for the Boon, and -Def for the bane. For the talent, I'm considering Oni Savage. Any input is welcomed. Thank you! :)

lock this plz

I'm also curious, why are you planning on Nohr Noble over Hoshido Noble? If the point is to stack defense, I'd rather go with Hoshido > Nohr. The extra speed is irrelevant, and Staves/Rods have more utility over Tomes/Scrolls. edit: Actually, I can see why. 29 Def + 32 Res (Nohr) > 31 Def + 28 Res (Hoshido), plus more Magic. lol

You only have room for 5 skills, and you have 6 listed here. I'd drop Dragon Fang and Hoshidan Unity for something else. Maybe Seal Strength/Magic/Resistance for the 5th slot? I'm not sure! (Also, I almost feel that Renewal is overkill with Even Better/Better Odds + Kana's Personal Skill, but that's up to you. haha)

I would remove Defense and Resistance Seal from that setup, debuffs don't stack, and the Mighty Kunai already cuts the enemy's defenses by 5. :) You can use those 2 skill slots for better skills! Assuming minmax optimization, I'd try Copycat Puppet. That would give you 2 support units in one, which would maximize the tile coverage for the combination of Sakura's Little Cheer, Battle Command, and Sun God.

I did this, and the Armorslayer works fine, but the Rapier becomes bugged again when I apply the translation patch (it works fine in the Japanese version). I'm doing alright without the localization, since I can still play and navigate the game properly. :)

I'm having the same problem with slayer weapons lacking the bonus they should have. I've successfully applied this patch first (as indicated in this OP), but adding the localization patch is where problems arise for me -- if I try using the .ups format I get a "The patch doesn't match the file" message when I try adding it. Conversely, if I try using the .ips format, the effective damage bonuses are lacking the entire game. It's a shame I can't get it to work, because this patch is really appealing to me. :(
