Usually it’s my Byleth, to feed them the levels/stats so they can recruit others, but Bernadetta and Petra have managed to snag a win or two.

Yeah, it’s like Fates, in classic the char doesn’t die, they’re just...not...fighting with you. Their menu disappears when you talk to them, but that’s about it. A shame you can’t be purposely bad just to kill off someone you don’t like.

I managed to get Lysithea by just pumping her support level up, at B+ she finally joined, my char only had 15 and D in faith.

I don’t have first hand knowledge, for hoping to not run into spoilers, but from comments normal and hard are both relatively easy it has sounded like. I think the stat boosts are slight. Biggest change is a lot less grinding, normal/easy get one free battle per weekend while hard gets none, you have to use an action point to participate in one. So your chars will naturally be less skilled/leveled without those freebies.

Strength is Byleth’s greatest stat at 13, others are pretty low though. I don’t imagine getting his STR high enough is the problem, it’ll be knowledge in the skills quickly enough. I hope it isn't the case, but it appears you might have to spend *alot* of ones free time to boosting Byleth’s skills to nab more than three other students.

Looks like quite a lot of work to acquire a majority of chars. Might be easier to only focus on a few. Also some skills will be harder to acquire, like heavy armor/flying/riding. Male Byleth would have a lot of trouble recruiting Ingrid, due to her prerequisites. First class they have access to that would let you level flying is wyvern rider, which requires lvl 20. So you’d have to train in that skill primarily. Appreciations go go out to OP for making this list.

Oof, that’s not reassuring. At level 20, and they have only one stat at a good rank to recruit (unsure if CHA counts as it appears to be boosted) and authority and lances anywhere near anyone’s prerequisites. Maybe they focused on heavy armor too? At any rate, I feel it might be a tad impossible to recruit only a handful at once.
