But.. how can you be so cool and so wrong at the same time?..

This game need lunatic mode the most right now. I want to NG+, I want to take part in the numerous different activities made available to me by the game and I want to not trivialize the difficulty of this game at the same time. Give me an option to play your game IS.

I think we can mostly agree that splitting Fates was kind of a cash grab and a scummy move in general. Lol at anyone trying to justify that it was really worth buying 3 titles for the "full fates experience", I've seen fanfics better written than that mess. As many have echoed already, I don't think we should praise Nintendo for doing the right thing that is expected of them, we should condemn them for doing the wrong thing. We can however be happy that they didn't repeat the same mistake.

Blue > Green > Yellow > Orange > Red This a "naive" list I'm using, based mostly on growth. I say naive because: For physical, it doesn't take into account a couple of things like gender-specific classes progression path, crests, natural abilities, skill affinities, base stats. For magical, it doesn't take into account spell list, gender-specific classes progression path, crests, natural abilities, skill affinities, base stats. T.ATK = SPD growth + STR growth for physical. SPD growth + MAG growth for magical T.DEF = DEF growth + RES growth T.Eff = T.ATK + T.DEF Additionnal notes: Lysithea is given a boost in tier because of her insane offense Dedue is given a boost in tier because of his insane HP+STR+DEF Lorenz show up twice because he is very decent in physical and in magical. Cyril is given an unfair treatment, since aptitude isn't counted in this. IDC.

I'm at the end of chap11, GD route. Ferdinand and Caspar are time-locked on their B-support. I'm not sure when it will unlock but probably after time skip. They were difficult to recruit.

I'm at the end of chap11, I managed to recruit everyone by 2/22, which I think may be the cut date for recruitment pre time-skip. I searched but did not find good information on how to recruit all students on the GD route, which is surprising because it has its quirks that I'm pretty sure are route specific. I wanted to share some of the things I learned as true in my game, I think they will apply to your game as well but eh, I might be wrong. Anyway, here is what I learned along the way: General advice Overleveling your Byleth a little bit is not a bad idea. It's easy to have your strong units be overleveled compared to your army, doing it with Byleth will help increase his stats which is a requirement for recruitment. Just don't overdo it 🙂 Professor level matters, the sooner you get a high prof level, the sooner you have more activity points than you actually need. This is important because you'll need those activity point to grind certain skills in faculty training to recruit the last students. In chapter 9 there is a fishing event where you can fish 2 to 4 fish at the same time, each fish is counted separately for your professor xp, so if you accumulate bait and you are ready to grind all your bait on chapter 9, you can get a really high amount of points. I went from B to A professor rating during chapter 9 because of this trick. You can get asked by students to join your house if you have a B-Support rating with them, this can even be done voluntarily with save-scumming. Don't stress this much, I had this happen with 2 characters only, you can just ask them every week, at B-rating they relax their requirements quite a bit so it's easy to recruit them. Buy all the gifts (2 shops with gift, both can be unlocked as early as chap5 by finishing a quest that involves fighting), find all the lost items, every month. Prioritize giving the gifts to the students you pursue that have a lower support level than B. GD-Specific advices Ferdinand is a problem. Ferdinand has a time gate on its B-support rating with you. I am not sure when the time gating end, but it ends after 2/22 so you can't rely on him being at B-support level. This is problematic because Ferdinand requires DEX and Heavy Armor. DEX shouldn't be an issue, I was at 23 without trying. At worst check your inventory you maybe have permanent stat boosting items available for dexterity (I had 2). Heavy Armor will likely be an issue, you probably did not train that one on Byleth. Alois and Gilbert are your go-to guys for Heavy Armor training, you can save-scum to get "great" instead of "good" when doing the faculty training, which can help if you are really strapped for time. Start working on Ferdinand early, on my game he refused to be recruited before I got to a D+ rating in Heavy Armor, which takes a while since the base is E rating for Byleth. Caspar is also a problem. This is exactly the same issue as Ferdinand, he is time gated on his support and you can't reach B-level. Caspar requires STR + Brawl. Unless you got screwed heavily on STR, you should be OK I was at 18 when I managed to recruit him. For Brawl that's another skill you probably did not level =/ your go-to gals for Brawl are Catherine and Rhea, I think I managed to nab Caspar at a D rating in Brawl (might have been D+, don't have my nswitch to verify) So Ferdinand and Caspar made me sweat a bit but the rest was very straightforward. Hope this information will help some people 🙂
