They seem pretty good. Bows unlock Close Counter at around C Rank, I believe, which eliminates their main weakness of not having 1 range. With Combat Arts and Class Abilities, they will be able to attack from 6 spaces away, making it very easy to avoid counter attacks.

You will be able to become Byleth's unique class.

Thank you.

Thanks for doing all this. And yeah, I saw the stats for some of the gauntlets, and guessed it would be the case for Magic. One small thing, but I always had the AD formula as rounding down. I'm not sure if I mistyped it somewhere or if you misread it, but it doesn't really matter. We know of a few Abilities that use Dex and Luk for activation rates. Is the Magic Hit formula Dex + Luk/2, or (Dex+Luk)/2, and is the crit formula the same? Also, is Crit Avoid just equal to Luk? And one last question, do you know anything about Crest activation rates or whether the ones that increase might are just +5 mt?

Mastery abilities aren't considered Class abilities- they're grouped with the Skill Level abilities (the ones you can equip up to five of).

Yes.

Yes, they just don't have any classes that specialize in Gauntlets specifically (so no Gauntletfaire). It wouldn't be too hard for F!Byleth to train up Gauntlets, especially since she has a Strength.

Yes. Then you would save on one of the empty files.

There are 5 save files and an autosave, so yes.

Ok, thank you.

Do you know if everybody who can reach an A Support can get a paired ending, or only some of them?

Thank you. Do you know of any others?

They have Byleth's stats wrong, not Edelgard's. Well, Edelgard's Dex is actually 5 rather than 6, but still.

Linhardt seems to specialize in both Wind and Fire.

Well, Hilda was never described as a loyal retainer, even if she's the closest thing to one. Meanwhile, Hubert and Dedue specifically have their Lords referenced in their profiles and dislikes.

Apparently you have to make specific choices for Hilda to be recruitable, so that's probably why.

You can do that to save a seal, but it seems that the exam scores won't be easily save scummed (one previewer failed a 70% several times in a row, so it was either set or really bad luck).

I'm going to be making her a Falcon Knight too. Getting a C in Swords over 30 levels shouldn't be that hard, even with a weakness. Of course, you could also try promoting her without reaching the requirements.

That's just what I read in the reddit post. I'll edit it if it's wrong.

The crests seem to come from 1000 years before the story, so it doesn't seem unreasonable that two families can share a crest despite not being closely related. Of course, crest experimentation is possible, but it's not the only explanation. The game starts in 1180.

Unless they're doing something very weird with the formula, it seems to be Speed-(Weight-Strength/5), all rounded down. There could also be rings and other equipment that boost speed, plus Abilities that reduce weight.

There's actually an image of some equipment with a staff that has a special background. As far as I know, the only other items like that so far are the Hero Relics and the Scythe of Sariel, so your idea seems probable.

Awakening didn't. It was pretty likely that they would be in, but it's still nice to have confirmation.

It seems that the Budding Talent Abilities will be pretty good. Does he mention if they really do become strengths? July would only be Chapter 4, right? That doesn't sound very bad. It seems that the Death Knight would one round Byleth with 30% Crit while taking 5 damage in return, so hopefully you're right.
