After mapping out strengths and weaknesses of each house, I am going to pick the Golden Deer because they seem to naturally fit (based on character strengths/hidden skills) into more Master Classes (my opinion is that the master classes will be worth pursuing over advanced classes). Here's a breakdown of what I am thinking of for a 9 person team, would gladly appreciate any feedback/thoughts 🙂
FYI - I left Byleth off of the list because I don't know the recruiting requirements for some of the strong characters in the other houses and this may impact how I build him/her, but would appreciate recommendations on what class to pick that would fit well with the rest or be nice to have 2 characters in.
