I didn't google the chests because I was scared I lost a decent item to lol RIP March Ring

Gatekeeper.

Yeah Mercedes being able to actually damage him with a Waning shot was wack,. I wanted to try it on Chapter 6 but Death Knight at that point was pretty much at a level where either Byleth 1 rounds him or Death Knight 1 round Byleth, so unfortunately I couldn't continue the meme. I'll give it another shot next time I see him though lol

Sorry for the lack of updates the past few days, been busy with Holidays and all that, I did finish up Chapter 5/6 during all this though so I can throw out update for how those went! Chapter 5 sucked. Like, jesus christ those reinforcement near the top screwed me over hard and this was all absolutely my fault lol. Spent the map abusing the Chalice of Beginnings or whatever it's called to have Byleth take out archers above and this led to the enemy rushing me which wasn't a problem, reinforcement came from behind during this at a really inconvenient time but we dealt with that. What really sucked was the 2 thief's near the top. I had been in a lot of bad positions early on and those 2 screwed me over hard. I ended up having to reset the chapter in full which really sucked. However, this time I was prepared for the 2 thief's. Unfortunately after dealing with them and moving everyone up to deal with the wave of Armored knights coming my way, another 2 thief's came in and proceeded to kill Anna and Mercedes. I honestly laughed. After going back a bit I ended up clearing with mostly no problems. The beast at the end was a bit annoying because only Byleth and Claude(barely) could survive a hit from the guy so I had to blast it with Gambits from everyone like crazy. All in all, Chapter 5 was probably the most annoying Chapter I've done so far. Chapter 6 went by smoothly. I just opted out of grabbing the chests because I didn't even wanna see how it would have gone considering nobody but Raphael, Byleth and Claude have defense. Only difficult part this chapter was Death Knight who 1RKO'd Byleth when I opened the door. After that I let Anna open the door and charged his ass with a couple of Gambits which had little to no effect on him. Thankfully, Byleth is super overleveled and Gauntlets are hilariously overpowered which really go hand in hand with each other. Having finished the chapter I honestly believe I might have been able to actually grab those chests. Oh well. But yeah, Chapter 6 was a nice reprieve from Chapter 5. I'll get you guys some more updates on the coming chapters! Til next time!

He was low enough to where Mercedes could barely kill him after tanking a few hits from Byleth lol

You cannot use it on Chapter 1, I had to restart the entire chapter when he got murked. Anyways, time for an update on Chapters 3 and 4! Chapter 3 was a bit rough but once we took out the Dark Mage and made the fog go away it got easier. Hapi only died 3 times this time around. Progress. Raphael has been a godsend this run and I'm a bit sad he's gonna become a dancer because the man has been carrying this team with Byleth and Claude and his magnificent gains. I've gone ahead and done a bit of renown abuse. Mostly to help out with Chapter 4. Anyways, Chapter 4 wasn't to bad, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't grind out a bit more with my increased professor level to help out before this fight, definitely gonna slow down on the free battles for a bit. Biggest issue here was that I didn't know Death Knight would straight up charge me. Thankfully unlike another Knight in black armor I know, this guy is killable. And Gauntlets really do work on him. I let Mercedes get that last hit on the guy, since Byleth wasn't able to take him out. Biggest issue this map was the mages, they took out Claude on one occasion and Lorenz on another. Hapi was finally useful, due to her decent amount of Res. Mercedes and Marianne were also pretty good this time around for the same reasons. EDIT: Forgot to mention that Anna was also really useful here with her Ward ability helping Raphael and Lorenz tank. Anyways, that concludes todays bit of playtime. o7

Yeah, I realized I had them after Chapter 1 I've never actually gotten around to play the main game with the DLC on it. The Chalice of Power thing is pretty strong. As for Hapi, been avoiding using magic on her because she's gonna be a fighter and using magic on her will only remind me of what I have lost.

Finished up to Chapter 2 today. First chapter I had to restart after overestimating how strong Byleth was and Dmitri and Dedue killed him. Other than that, Lysithea the master of the blade carried the fight and totally did not pick off everyone Claude weakened. Chapter 2 will forever be remembered due to Hapi missing every other hit she took, dying a collective 4 times because of it. Thankfully, Divine Pulse abuse is ripe in this game and I got her to level up after babying her like crazy. Naturally her level up gave her a point in Charisma and Res only.

Sounds good, I started it up today and I'll throw some screenshots on there for you guys.

Alright things are looking good, how are we gonna go about Byleths class? Looks like male Byleth is the choice now that I'm told he will be marrying Hilda.

She shall be my Zihark stand in.

The natural direction for her character

Yeah I beat it on a playthrough back when it came out a few years ago. Feel free to include the DLC characters.

I'm gonna do Maddening this time around. Haven't tried it on that difficulty yet so I'm not entirely sure how hard it's gonna be.

First time doing one of these and first time posting on this website instead of lurking without an account, and I thought I'd do a challenge on an upcoming playthrough because it's been a while since I've played 3 Houses. The Route is gonna be Golden Deer because it's the only route I haven't actually played. Meme choices are welcomed and encouraged.
