I was planning on taking Byleth through Mercenary -> Hero -> Warrior -> Warmaster for my next playthrough, focusing on Vantage, Defiant Strength, and Wrath. 

 

Then I realized that Crest of Flames hp recovery would throw a wrench into that plan. Would a better build for Byleth be a Warmaster with Lifetaker (already have it unlocked through making him a magic user this playthrough) and Quick Riposte?

Probably. Especially if you plan on doing future NG+ runs. QR is the single most busted ability in the entire game, and getting it at level 1 is insane. I also think there's value in general getting gender locked skills for Byleth in case you do F!Byleth on your next clear, because you can unlock stuff you normally couldn't get with grade renown.

What do you think Jeritza's and Anna's stats will be? Both highs and lows.

What do you think their skill level strengths and weaknesses be?

Owl Feathers can appear randomly I think anywhere but stop after the timeskip (as do the books)

@Jayvee94: Jeritza will likely specialise in Lances and Riding. Maybe Reason too. Anna will probably be good with Swords and Bows, maybe Axes too as a Heroes reference.

@Escape the Fate: I can confirm that Owl Feathers spawn post-timeskip. I think I remember finding books post-timeskip too but I'm not too sure about this one.

Edit: Forgot my own question!

Does inviting a student for Mission Assistance mess with the ability to recruit them? What if they're at Support Rank B or above, does using them for Mission Assistance stop them asking me to invite them during the week?

Thanks!

Which route would you recommend after the Black Eagle route? I'm on chapter 18 and loved the game so I want to play all routes but I'm not sure which to go for.

The two best ways to go imo are:

  • Golden Deer -> Blue Lions -> Black Eagles (Church)
  • Black Eagles (Church) -> Blue Lions -> Golden Deer

I'd go for the top one since you just played the other branch of the Black Eagles. Church route and Golden Deer are very similar in story, so I recommend spacing them out.

What exactly will I get in New Game +? I want to be be sure so I can get the most out of my next playthroughs.

You can buy any mastery skills you've unlocked on characters you had before, unlock support levels you already have, increase weapon/skill proficiencies to any level that unit has previously had, and buy Crest items. Crest items take up an item slot and give the effect of that Crest, so you could, say, put Felix's Crest on someone to get his effects. It also works with any corresponding items that Crest may have. All of this is based off Renown, so the more you have, the more you can buy.

I was thinking Anna would have strength in Faith too as she's built as a staff bot in previous games.

You can also raise your professor level and I believe change Byleth's appearance.

Not unless you have the DLC outfits. You can change everyone else's appearances but not Byleth's. Which annoys me: I would have loved to tinker with their hair colour or jacket (since you can toggle the jacket of their academy uniform).

Ah, I see. I haven't tried out NG+ yet, so I wasn't sure. Thanks for clearing that up.

Characters you recruit from other houses, do they only increase their weapon ranks in two of their proficiencies? Is there a table that can provide which characters level which rankings? I know lysithia comes with increased ranks of reason and authority instead of the better choice of reason and faith.

 

On a different note, is there any lists that tell you what months which paralogues are available to unlock and when they expire?

Far as I know:

-Sothis's paralogue expires after chapter 10

-Most pre-timeskip Paralogues expire after chapter 11 (the exception is Hilda and Cyril's paralogue)

Yes. There are minor exceptions, since recruited characters cannot be in a class without the minimum ranks for it. For example, if you recruit Lysithea or Annette while they're monks they'll have a D in Faith(and Marianne a D in Reason), even though that's not their focus. If you wait until they're mages however, they'll be back at their base rank instead. The only other relevant case is Fighter, which automatically gives D Axe, Bow, and Brawling; for the most part characters evolve into classes that fit their focuses, and thus as the value from their auto-tutoring is higher this stops happening.

As for a list, it's their basic focus afaik, so it would be(spoiler'd for size):

Spoiler

 

Black Eagles:
Ferdinand: Lance & Axe
Linhardt: Reason & Faith
Caspar: Axe & Brawling
Bernadetta: Lance & Bow
Dorothea: Sword & Reason
Petra: Sword & Axe

Blue Lions:
Felix: Sword & Brawling
Sylvain: Lance & Axe
Ashe: Axe & Bow
Mercedes: Reason & Faith
Annette: Reason & Authority

Golden Deer:
Lorenz: Lance & Reason
Ignatz: Sword & Bow
Raphael: Axe & Brawling
Lysithea: Reason & Authority
Marianne: Sword & Faith
Hilda: Lance & Axe
Leonie: Lance & Bow

Etc:
Cyril: Axe & Bow
Catherine: Sword & Brawling
Shamir: Lance & Bow
Flayn: Lance & Faith
Hanneman: Bow & Reason
Manuela: Sword & Faith
Alois: Axe & Brawling
Seteth: Lance & Authority
Gilbert: Lance & Axe

 

Professors/Knights of Seiros typically have higher base ranks to compensate. Students aren't quite so lucky.
