    FOR JUGDRAL FOR NAGA!

    If anyone on Team Julia wants to add me my fried code is 786-3457-503 I'm currently repping Ayra, can switch to a dancer if needed (I have both Ninian's, original Azura, and original Shigure built)

    Edit: If you do add me send me a pm so that I know it's not some random. Otherwise I might not accept.

     

    P.S. Does anyone know if supports work with friend's characters as well?

    I exclusively run KING Michalis of MACEDON! at any and all times as my rep. Not once have I taken him off @Astellius @Arcanite #MacedonForever 

    Hmm, that’s pretty interesting. I didn’t realize people still used him. (Does Arcanite not rep oboro anymore???)

    As for VGs? Generally the chosen unit (if I have them). The only thing that annoys me is when I get someone's unit and they aren't fully leveled to 40.

    Oof, I meant when you don’t have the chosen unit to choose from.

    That would be the latter

    Huh, I didn’t realize that was really a problem. Guess I’ve just been lucky or havnt noticed.

    I'm not too sure if the standards have switched or not. I know this round I've mostly been getting random Veronicas as allies. I think for the most part, casual/newer players tend to stick characters like Legendary Ike as their leads since they're 5 stars, strong, and free. In the past, I've always gotten a lot of L!Ilkes and Brave Lyns as random allies. And now I can add Ronnie to the mix. If you're having trouble getting reds, that may be the same for others, so there's no problem in switching it around. 

    Ahh yeah I always forget there’s people that are really behind. I just don’t like putting a red unit as my rep cuz I assume most people will use a red unit (Also my red units are a looooot weaker than my green units just cause I’m too lazy to do grind for them).

    And I just mean getting a 5 star unit with some skills learned. Bonus points if the unit has some SI. There have been some gauntlets in the past where I've gotten like...random 4 star units as allies with no skills learned. I don't mind it if an ally has just their base kit. Even Legendary Ike with his normal skills is totally fine. Legendary Ike with nothing but Ragnell isn't. 

    Seriously? Jeez that sucks. I figured everyone would have at least a handful of 5* fully skill inherited units by now, if not several +10’s.

    Since there's no penalty for losing a round in VG, you can just surrender as many times as you want until you get a team set-up that works for you. Just surrender until you get a red ally. It can be a little tedious, but you only really waste time. And we've got plenty of that.

    Oof but that takes so long. I can usually solo most teams with my unit, but it’s nice when my teammates help out a little too.

    I like to put green or colorless units as my rep as long as the unit I'm supporting isn't that color. (For example, I'm Team Veronica, so I wouldn't put Lucius as my rep. But if I'm Team Brave Ike, I'm not going to put Raven as my rep.) I've found that it's pretty easy to get red allies. Blue is hit or miss for me, but a little more common than green or colorless. You might also consider the unit you're supporting and what kind of characters might be useful in a team with them. Veronica and Roy might like having some horse buff support for example. But you can never go wrong with just putting out your "best" unit if you feel they'll be useful. I'm always pleasantly surprised when I get a fully built 5 star as an ally. 

    If you don't have the unit you're supporting, you can always just go ahead and use a unit of the same color or anyone really since it doesn't matter as much. 

    Yeah that makes sense. I usually just leave Julia as my unit for both as she’s one of my strongest units and is a green mage which doesn’t seem that commonly picked. Although perhaps it would be better if I swapped for Myrrh as my support rep since my Julia is in a very team reliant build. I generally do the swap thing like you mentioned, avoiding the same color unit as the team I’m on, but I’ve been getting almost exclusively green units this round (I’ve gotten 2 reds in like 40 battles so far). So I figured I’d ask in case the standards had shifted. 

    Btw what do you mean by fully built 5*? A +10 or just one with all their skills finished?

    Thats what I thought but I’m worried as soon as I change to like a red sword all I’ll get are reds, and Julia can usually solo the round if they don’t have many red units :/

    I think that quote is some kind of hint as to the nature of the plot. My hope based on the very last line would be that Byleth betrays the three lords and turns to the other side, resulting in a much darker story. Even when he’s the enemy Edelgard still feels a bond with him and doesn’t want to lose that. But when taking into consideration the context, I don’t think it’s very likely. If I were to place a bet it would be a generic time skip like most people are suggesting.

    However generic time skips are, well, generic, so I’ll dive a little deeper. Now there is a plausible scenario that fits the last two lines very well, especially if we consider Edelgard’s prior rant about the crests. Since she’s lecturing Byleth/the teacher about them, it would be reasonable to assume that he is either unfamiliar with them (hailing from another land), or holds the opposite opinion as her. In either circumstance, should Edelgard decide to start a holy war, she wouldn’t assume Byleth would stand alongside her, as he would either side with the church for the crests, or have no stance on the matter. Therefore it seems quite possible that Edelgard abandons his tutelage, and her fellow lordlings, in pursuit of a way to destroy the crests. 

    Hopefully we get some more info today :)

    I think Sylvia is Levin's real love and Erinys is moreso out of duty and the fact her sister got shot out of the sky. Levin was basically an Edward VIII in the making if the war didn’t occur

    Plz no

    I’m so glad we got more Genealogy! Will definitely be pulling for Lewyn and Quan. I’m disappointed they went with Sylvia instead of Ferry but I understand why.

    is teacher the avatar? i think not...maybe the castle they showed us in the trailer is  on the past and the other 3 characters are young in this time. in the future this "teacher" is now the old mad man who swing this legendary sword and the children from edelgard and dimitri and...i dont know..claud? must kill this old teacher who killed the parebts of the children . We dont now what Is have story in mind...but i cant wait :D

    That would be really intriguing, but considering Byleth's interaction with Edelgard in the castle, and that we see Byleth run past Dimitri makes it seem unlikely.

    Edit: That was poorly worded. I meant unlikely that there was a time skip of any kind, as their ages seem roughly similar, and Edelgard didn't look any older at any point throughout the trailer. Unless the beginning chapters where they showed all the characters, including Byleth, fighting was pre-time skip?

    And I believe it falls flat on its face - the moment "imagine" was used, it came off as weak and desperate instead. "What if" is not a very compelling answer.

    You said you couldn't see a situation where lower con could make for more interesting game play decisions. The natural follow up would be providing an example. Well, I can't use anecdotal evidence, and due to the nature of the game there's not an experience we've all had, so the only remaining option is hypothetical. Do you think things through or just say the first thing that comes into your head? "What if" is the ONLY answer.

    Except for the part where Joshua is generally considered better than Marisa. All she really has over him is luck.

    That's just because he has a much earlier recruitment chapter. If they were reversed she would be considered the better one.

    I fail to see how it makes for more interesting gameplay decisions when there's almost never a reason to use a heavier weapon that could potentially cost you a follow-up attack, or in the worst case, result in you being on the bad end of a follow-up. That means strategy gets dumbed down - there's no strategy involved when you have cases where "this unit is so impaired by this weapon they can't use it".

    Well that's easy. Imagine if you're using an iron axe and you would leave the enemy with 1 hp. If you use a steal axe you would get doubled but you can finish the enemy off. However, there's a second enemy enemy who could come attack you on the enemy phase. The situations grow even more in a fog of war map.

    If you're unwilling to use a unit only because it can get doubled then it would suck for you to be the enemy commander.

    That’s true enough.

    And I vehemently disagree when you have some units (mostly male units) that wind up just being better - in comparison, most of the time, female units tend to have lower strength than males, but have more speed. Con takes that advantage away from them, and leaves them with bupkis to make up for it. I say again, what advantages are there to having low con???

    Besides rescue none that I can think of. But a feature doesn't have to have an advantage for it to be good. It adds another stat that makes a unit good/bad while preventing a second stat (strength) from being twice as important. That's good for balance. Devs can also give a unit that's too strong lower con to account for any imbalance, and having a unit with low con can make for more interesting gameplay decisions when you have to account for the loss in speed.

    It suppose to represent the player so "single" doesn't work and just because YOU don't see a problem? MANY do...it expresses freedom of choice and being relatable...

    If it's supposed to represent the player and they're using it as a dating sim wouldn't "single" actually be the best fit?

    Of course we are. No offense, but the fact you thought otherwise reflects rather poorly on you, far as I'm concerned... And for the record, I don't have a problem with weight in general (SoV did make it work well), but the system used in the GBA games was a huge step in the wrong direction.

    I was making a joke. Growth rates, base stats, recruitment chapter, con, there's many things that go into making a character good or bad.

    Using strength in place of con is much worse from a game design perspective. Sure it makes it easier on the player, but any aspect of a game that starts as a mild inconvenience and can be completely ignored by the end of the game is a poorly designed function.

    It really doesn't S Ranks are a continuing thing now even in a spin-off game like heroes not only with other characters but with the player character as well you can think what you want. I doubt they'll drop anything that's popular and appealing to many so don't make this into a chain of back and forth as I said what I needed to and only wanted to say since mentioning this on any forum is sensitive to users and would cause arguments for some reason....

    It's not about the likelihood of them returning, its his reasoning that's the issue. If he had said 'with the likely return of a player avatar, we can comfortably assume that romance options will be returning as well' then that would be a fair and accurate statement to make.

    Agreed with everything but they misidentified with Claude and Dimitri.

    @immatxit IS obvious it will don't get why that of all things trigger you especially with Avatars I noticed. Even stated from the fact sheet that we'll interact with other characters and build relationships plus with past carnations this isn't a surprise thing.

    It doesn't trigger me, it's just inaccurate to say that when it hasn't been confirmed yet. Interacting and building relationships could just be the return of gba support system. But regardless, he didn't use interact and build relationships line as his reasoning, it was specifically because of the return of an avatar character that in his mind confirmed the return of romance options.

    Even looking past them assuming Byleth is an avatar before it's been confirmed, how is that evidence of romance options? I wasn't all that impressed with this analysis, pretty much everything that was discussed had also been brought up before on this forum. I also haven't seen any mention of Claude not actually shooting an arrow against the robot monster thing in any youtube video, which is a bit surprising.
