I didn't see any other topics like this one, if there is let me know. I would say that any story spoilers should be marked just in case but that characters are fair game since there aren't really surprise joins.
Anyway, I'm on run #4, finally on the church one. I've decided to base my team entirely around memes. currently on ch7. The team plan and their final classes:
1. Byleth - Bishop
2. Seteth - Hero
3. Flayn - Fortress Knight
4. Raphael - Assassin
5. Lorenz - Noble
6. Leonie - Gremory
7. Bernadetta - Dancer
8. Marianne - Warrior
9. Caspar - Dark Knight
10. Felix - Sniper
Successes so far: Marianne has easily been MVP. Fun fact that's easy to overlook, her "mystery crest" effect is the same as crest of Fraldarius so she low key puts in work with gauntlets. Lorenz has had oddly good growths. Felix has been great but he's the actual good unit in a class that makes sense for him so that's be to expected.
Challenges going forward: This team has no flying and one mount, and everyone sucks at magic. Caspar keeps gaining strength as a mage, Raphael refuses to gain speed as a thief, and it's killing me. I shudder to think of my team with so many 4 move characters, and I'm not using stride because support gambits are cheating. Lorenz is literally going to have HP +5 and random prowessesand that's it.
But this run has been fun and even somewhat challenging. How is your run going?
