If between all 4 routes I’d take a SS rework over VW rework anyday and if made dlc even better i actually think some changes to both VW and SS would work well for this and here are what I would change

Constance . I like how her personality changes so much depending on being indoor or outdoors . Now to just give her the crest that allows her to equip lysithea staff in a new game plus gameplay and it’s going to be a blast

Whoever does not appear as an opponent . If I need to fill gaps now though the ashen wolves , Anna and the black eagle path unique character can cover nowadays

The question is when or what story do they meet in? And at what point? Because I feel the best way if you were to have them come out of it on more friendly terms would be if it was end of azure moon dimitri and just before Rhea burns the city in crimson flower . And for the time period and story to be golden deer 2nd to last Why do I believe this? Well there would not be time for them to argue the slither are the biggest threat at this point . Claudes influence and his growth in golden deer would also help this which would result in them having to work to kill the slither first which would lead to Rhea saving everyone . Now this May have an impact on edelgard . Her enemy that she wants gone just saving her life it may have an impact no matter how small it is . this then leads into the nemesis fight and this is the big one . Everyone would want to defeat nemesis at all cost . Doesent matter if your edelgard, dimitri , Claude or Rhea no one wants nemesis to ruin any of their ambitions . Everyone I assume knows the story of nemesis so they know what kind of a threat he could be . Which would then force them to work together again to defeat him . Now all that time between the slither fight , the 1 month gap for nemesis and the nemesis fight gives both edelgard and dimitri time to settle the differences which if they can settle them in that time it may stop them from killing each other but of course if it’s not settled by nemesis defeat then you know what’s going to happen . Of course there’s also the Rhea and edelgard issue to settle too which could go in certain ways too . This is liturally the best time period I can think off though these 2 can meet though as at least byleth having a lower amount to connections with them (authough it would be strange as their connections with byleth would be high who’s knows maybe that would be the deciding fact ) and a stronger Claude they would be able to be dealt with anything that backfired

I mean she’s one of the few that can actually use black magic . The game makes any mage class Able to use all spells which I kind of wish they had changed . Having emperor only able to use the black magic only would of been pretty cool and I don’t think it would of been broken . There again while dimitri lord class is cool and all I kind of wish he was horse back in his final promotion .

That would be pretty fun . We can always hope for a last update along with the final dlc . Maybe with the Einherjar idea you would have unlock requirements like for Judith maybe you have to beat the golden deer story line while if you wanted Rhea you have to beat the church route with some sort of crazy over the top character for beating all 4 stories like nemesis

I trained Dorothea to get riding to become a holy knight . I don’t plan on focusing on it too much though until I have reached new game plus on all 4 of my saves for maximum bonus points a run . I imagine being able to put points in those weakened stats even if only they had gotten to E+ last run will go a way towards helping them master said skills or putting them in byleth so he/she teaches those skills slightly better until they catch up . Byleth got a S in my last but byleth would mainly focus on teaching horse / flying and heavy armor to those weak as I find those the hardest to actually learn . The double orbs can help a lot here

Mortal Servant should get the ability Ignus as it’s 3rd ability where it can use half of the users magic in a melee attack or half of the users strength in a magic attack . It takes 3-5 uses of the item per use kind of like how Astra works just getting it as soon as you reclass and only usable by Mortal Servant

I could see them taking elements of all 4 routes and create their own version . For exsample I think they may change things so Byleth , Manuela and Hannaman swap between the 3 houses during the year so the first part can easily include all the 3 houses and interact with all the characters . The 2nd part and the 2nd season could have a mixture of the golden deer and the church path mainly the golden deer part being there so the final villain could be nemesis . But since Both are similar anyway it could work and that gives the church characters development

Black Eagle Path Randolph , Lavislavia and Acheron Golden Deer Judith and Nader

My vote goes to Ferdinand over Sylvain in the case of Wyvern Lord . My reasons would be due to the Lance Of Ruin for Sylvain . You are going to want to train Sylvain more in Lances than Axes but Wyvern Lord Requires a A in axes to begin with . Sure it needs a C in lances and that’s good in Sylvains Case however Ferdinand can just focus on mainly Axes and Flying . Wyvern Lord also gets Axeflare which is a nice boost and allows Ferdinand to go above and beyond with axes . He can also get access to the ochain shield that regen hp every turn and nullify crits i am not saying that Sylvain would not make a good Wyvern Lord heck I feel Sylvain is a better Unit than Ferdinand from experience but from all of the above and the fact Sylvain after A ranking axes would also need Getting spears up higher rank too I think Ferdinand has the advantage there and the ochain shield I imagine would be really good for hit and run

My thoughts on the dlc 3 is mixed the sauna I mean the outfit while it is not the most fan service like it does make a little sense at least it being the sports uniform . The problem I found looking at the sauna was the lack of interaction with anyone you went in the sauna with . It just seems strange like when your in a sauna you may talk to people also in the sauna in real life so why not here ? the cats and dog feature seems alright but it would of been interesting if the dogs and cats had a use for being interacted with . Like being able to set them to characters like you can others when your professor level is high enough and then having special effects like one of the dogs may dig up items or improve the quality of the items found on the floor , or one of the cats may have a 100% miracle effect on that character once per battle. Anna is Anna . Lack of supports ain’t too bad but it would of been good if she could support byleth and maybe someone with little supports like Gilbert to learn more of both Anna and those with fewer supports . the outfits I must say are pretty nice at least . The maid outfit is not the Bridget school outfit thankfully. That is the summer outfit . The maid and butler outfits are pretty nice that you can choose between a normal and a character oriented one (like following a characters colours) . The summer outfit my only problem is I wish they did the same and had character oriented versions . And the other outfit I can’t remember what it was but it seemed alright . They are nice with the New feature to have equipped costumes in battle as long as you are not a mounted class. Might be fun for that maids and butler no Calvary or Flying units run

Ashe and Lorenz both are faught as enemies in Silver Snow so i would say both of those fit as you can recruit them after said fight Leonie maybe if you waited till after edelgard left and revealed her motives would make sense as she swears revenge for jeralt's death Mercedes makes sense due to her faith as i would say annette would too considering their friendship together . Marianne since she just disappears if you don't Sylvain if A- Main Character is Female or B- if i recall Sylvain A ranks with Dorothea which is one of the few and personally just based on Dorothea alone i could see Sylvain joining even if main char was Male Hannaman and Manuela as both are missible in theory (i recruited them the last month i was originally not going to recruit them in my black eagles run but i messed up and that became silver snow) but i think they are included in story cutscenes? so may as well pick them up too.

Casper/Mercedes and Marianne are probably some of the harder ones but they are entirely based on if you took the time to train these people as they are on their own/ away from the main group

The lord class (first one) require D+ swords and C in authority which I would say is a reference to all the lords excluding Ephraim and Hector as the rest pretty much were sword units or sword focused units before promotion and the hint of authority is a link to then all being leaders of their respective groups . They also fight with a more rapier style of fighting which is also a reference to a good portion of them being able to use the rapier and that usually being lord exclusive even in some cases
