Kinda happy about Camilla as I'm guessing she will have Axe and Tome proficiencies.

Not spoiling anything more here but wave 2 will be ready today in case you were about to start a new run (like me) and have the pass, you might want to wait a bit. Wave 2 is now downloadable.

I assume it is based on weapon type as the description says, just couldn't find where "weapon type" was listed or defined. I see what you mean now though, thank you. That being said I think Leif would actually provide a bonus to Axe with weapon sync.

Has anyone tested how this works when inherited and used without Edelgard's Bracelet? For example if I inherit it and equip Leif's Ring will I get a damage bonus when using Axes, Lances and Swords? If I equip Lyn's Ring will the bonus kick in when I equip Swords and Bows?

Honestly feel that Divine Dragon is just Alear's best overall option.

Dont think you really need a lot of class changes, just one to go down a different, optimal class path. You can't learn class skills like you could in 3H. Most of the skill optimization will come from Emblems. Figuring out the best Emblem/Class/Inherited Skills are optimal is the biggest thing.

I suppose the low overall stats are to balance out the fact that they can break three weapon types in the game and they themselves cannot be broken by conventional attacks.

Added the current version of the sheet for feedback.

Yeah, Arts are prime targets for Roy's and Ike's engravings.

Working on a tool to help with unit optimization and though I have an idea of how to go about it I would like to see what others prioritize when making class choices and what kind of data display would be most useful to you for these decisions. I suppose the main point of uncertainty is whether to base unit/class combination on maximum potential (grind until caps) or more practical play (maybe second seal once to get another round of levels). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kaQv2vjvVSGkHnhkhsf6KOrIDYQVeyI91WHh3GPRTdw/edit?usp=sharing This is what I am currently tracking: Character Wise: Growth Rates and how they rank in comparison to others. Stat Cap Modifiers and how they rank in comparison to others. Personal Skill Weapon Proficiencies Class Wise: Growth Rates modified by character growth rate as well as expected stat gain over 40 levels to include class base stats, as well as how they rank. Stat Caps modified by character modifiers as well as how many levels it would take to reach the cap as well as how they rank. Class Skills with a loose subjective ranking. Weapon Proficiencies and how character innate proficiencies increase their ranks. Combat stats (Ph Atk/Mag Atk, Hit, Avo, Crit, Dodge) based on gaining 40 levels with that class and what they would be with all stats capped. Weapon Wise: Identify highest ranking weapon of each type (Sword vs axe) and "classification" (Brave vs Ranged) available to each class. How weapon stats affect combat stats of the class based on the 40 level gain.

Grabbed from some of the end game skirmishes. Most units were level 20 with a few at 19 (Thief at 39). Might help with planning. Don't have maddening data.

Not sure if this is mentioned somewhere in game, maybe I missed it, but Arts calculate your damage based on the average of Str and Mag. This means that Arts can be used just fine by units that are inclined towards either stat but are particularly suited for units that have a good amount of both.

Made Chloe a Griffin Knight to capitalize on her speed and even str/mag growths. With Flame Lance and Spear/Silver Lance she can get easy picks on slower enemies, even Generals.

Just finished AG for the first time a bit ago. I was honestly surprised by Dimitri's disposition towards Edelgard. I expected him to kill her. I didn't expect him to offer a hand, but he just leaves her be. Dimitri at the end of AG has fulfilled his all-consuming objective. He understands at that point that Edelgard has had no meaningful influence in anything that has happened over the last 6 months nor in the ToD and so his hate for her has just evaporated, he no longer has any interest. Edelgard calling out to him might have saved her life if only because he is too shook and exhausted to go through killing someone who is defenseless.

Yes, there are a couple of instances in which you will have to deploy a specific unit in order to recruit someone. And yes, the chapter you get that warning on.
