I wouldn't compare it with Apotheosis, Anna was another than the house leaders, the Gatekepper Chapter was more like a medicore max level challenge. I got the S rank in maddening with my first try on this difficulty, my Shez wasn't 120 at this point, so I used my first 120 unit Lysithea (as a mortal savant). However I had already maxed out all her stats, but Luck, so it will be more challenging with a fresh 120 character. Hopefully we get a Lunatic+ mode, or something else in the future. We need more challenging content for max level, currently I don't have a lot of motivation to max out everyone, because of the lack of postgame content. After the 3 routes and the maddening runs, are only a few achievements left to complete.

A very interesting thread. After reading your builds and about your run I came to think about doing myself a run with player phase builds, your report was really refreshing! In the past I played a lot of Three Houses NG Maddening and eventually lost my interest in it, I always felt they need to plan everything ahead and to optimize my resource management. Overkilling the dodge tanking was the result, it makes the lategame irrelevant, as in my most recent run of Blue Lions Maddening NG this year, which took 87:22. The beloved Lysithea von Ordelia did the work, she has solid Dex./Spd. growths and her highly valuable Mastermind skill - the key to learn many weapons, so I can boost her stats through exams (e.g. General for Hp&Def.) and master sword very fast through combat. Class: Falcon Knight Weapon: Rapier+ Item: Chalice of Beginnings Battalion: Cichol Wyvern Co. Stats: 48 Hp. 36 Str. 41 Mag. 49 Dex. 79 Spd. 39 Lck. 31 Def. 36 Res. 49 Charm with Battalion 59 Charm. Skills: Alert Stance +. Sword Flaire, Sword Crit +10, Sword 5, Sword Avoid +20 Results: 57 Atk. 170 Hit. 90.Crit 136 Avoid, with Alert Stance+ 166 Avoid, 37 Prt. 37 Rsl. This is one of few runs were I got enough speed carrots and solid speed levels to actually cap her speed in NG. Enemies are often around 130 hit in the final chapter, they can't do anything against optimized dodge tanks. In the battle of Enbarr is Dorothea the only enemy with a very high hit rate of 173, this might be a strike (173-136=37, or 7 with Alert Stance+), but she can't OHK Lysithea with her 61 Atk. Its worth to remove Alert Stance+ with something else, but I don't know what to use instead, maybe death blow or strength +2? I am thinking about Player Phase tactics, but they seem to be more troubling to build, on the other hand it would be more interesting since its something fresh. I considered building them, but then I begin to fear that I would fail. Enemy Phase Tactics are easy to plan and in the endgame still very reliable . Only the very first chapters are often not suited for those tactics. Sadly it often feels like a solo run in the late game, just with some assistent units to support Lysithea, or who is doing the dodge tanking. Reading all the comments was very inspirational and gave me new interest in the game. I hope that you all are going to have fun again in future runs of Three Houses.

This year I cast the majority of my votes for Eirika and thus keep my promise to @DefyingFates . I am very curious to see how the results will turn out, it seems particularly unpredictable to me this time.

I think the GHB is going to be Murdock, if it is FE6. The remaining main antagonists, didn't placed well: Jahn placed 510. (85 votes) and Galle 432. (185). I would like from FE6: Geese Zelot Merlinus Astolfo Murdock

1.Lysithea 2.Alois 3.Hanneman 4.Edelgard 5.Felix 6.Petra 7.Jeralt 8.Bernadetta 9.Balthus 10.Seteth Honorable mentions: Claude,Hubert,Yuri,Raphael,Ignatz,Marianne,Jeritza

I start with Lysithea, if she loses, I will join Edelgard, to get some easy winner feathers.

I think we had enough Three Houses winners for a while. I can't estimate exactly how much the "houseshype" will affect the event. But I think that Houses will be weakened at this point. Whereby, the ashen wolves are newer than the other houses characters, so Hapi could have a chance. During CYL5, I will vote primarily for Eirika, maybe a bit for Marth too.

A man of culture. Male: 1.Marth 2.Arvis Female: 1.Eirika 2.Naliah/Ilyana ,the latter only when not a regular version is already added.

Frey would be my first choice. He has a nice design and is a competent unit. His role as the canon decoy portrays him as very selfelss and brave, something I just have to recognize. More obscure are Kempf and Nichol. Kempf has a cool design and became a jewel through a certain translation. Nichol has his design and was fun to use, there is not much reason behind, that I like him.

I already got this, but my problem is that she shows even her commanders no trust and it feels extremely wrong to lie to the ones who may saved your, just to go the easy way. In this way it is also indicated, that she lacks trust into her commanders, so that she believes that her former classmates aren't able to not see the priority in wiping of the kingdom. I am convinced she could persuade them, so that this incident wouldn't be necessary.

As someone who likes Arvis is Edelgard at first a very interesting character, but she has one disturbing flaw in my opinion, she lies too much. In CF is this shown, where she is lying to all of her allies, except Hubert and Byleth. She seems to try to manipulate them and to not care about telling the truth. All of them have proven their loyalty and still she is not honest. This for me pretty bad and a heavy drawback, if she wouldn't be such a liar, she could one of my favorite characters.

This was a hard choice voting category. I had to think carefully by my choice. I was tempted to vote for Kempf, Arvis, Hardin, Rudolf or Mustafa. I decided to wait a while, finally Arvis got my vote. I hope that they will do something odd tomorrow, I have no idea what they are planning.

Lysithea, my number one of the three houses cast.

This Feh channel was fantastic, 40 summons are very fair for a free 5* unit! Also very interesting are the GHB revivals, I hope that we can get additional copies, if so I can certainly finish my Kempf +10 project. The CYL banner will be a "New Heroes" banner, if I recall correctly, this would mean that we could get 2 free copies of the CYL heroes... I plan to +10 Brave!Lysithea, 2 free copies would be very nice. I hope they will give us, two copies for free (the classic one and the 40th summon choice) there are certainly many people who are interested in 2 of the CYL winners, they would also benefit from this. All in all, was in this channel nothing to cry about, a free 5* unit is always nice and the next special heroes are looking interesting, since shadow dragon was my first Fire Emblem. I hope they will do something funny, like young Jagen or Wendell. The fates banner is a welcomed skip for me, so I can save more orbs (983 Orbs now).

Pure favoritism is fitting what I mean. The reasons doesn't matter here why someone is voting for any character, this what I intended to tell in my second sentence.
