Magic ignores terrain but no fixed hit.

Hol' up. Is that Mom on the battle forecast in the second image?

I can't imagine Mom being an enemy ever, so... Playable Mom? But then, why show she dies? That's just going to make people not use her.

Fascinating... And interesting!

[Shrimpica]

Also seems that not all magic ignores terrain, but only those with Mystical type

So, corrupted effectiveness, Warp Ragnarok works best with fliers, maybe increases in magic range and that double attack does half the damage dealt.

That last bit's a little disappointing considering Engage seems to be about providing busted skills.

Ah yes, that too.

I'm curious what this'll result in, much as I bet it'll be insignificant for the amount of time it happens.

Mystical?

Each unit has a type.

For example, Celine has Mystical i think, so she ignores Terrain with Magic

Ivy has a Tamer type, so she doesn't

Or that's how i understood it

Unless you want to be funny and have a sufficiently bulky laguz smite mounted allies.

Mordecai doesn't need no silly stat boosters for that because Mordecai is literally perfect.
Oh wait, Jill gains +1 Con when promoting, so Mordecai does need the Statue Frag to shove her while untransformed. Balls. OK, Mordecai is virtually perfect.
I was going to say that +2 Con actually allows Kitty!Lethe to shove Jill, but that is reverted with Jill's promotion, too.

Anyway, that was my TED talk explaining why Mordecai is the best Laguz in the game. And before anyone brings up another big cat - he's four points lighter than Mordy.

That poor Ike...

Quetzal picking normal difficulty, despite stemming from my poor communication skills, is shaping up, little by little, with every Str-less Ike level, to be a good call after all. I really don't agree with the decision to withhold {last chapter spoilers, you know what I mean} on hard mode.

I was thinking about Haar. Haar was the only unit Ranulf couldn't smite after giving them to him.

Yeah, Haar is really fat, actually. Six points of extra con/weight compared to Jill.

...actually, how heavy is transformed Ranulf? The main site says +15 weight for both male and female cats, but that's not true for Lethe (who goes from 21 to 31).
(...)
Huh. According to the wiki, both cats gain +15 constitution, but less weight. +10 weight for female cats, +12 weight for male ones.That's... unnecessarily complicated. I don't think raw Con is used for any calculations.

Anyway, transformed Ranulf has... 36 weight. I think that's actually enough to smite anything that isn't a transformed tiger or named 'Haar'. Man, Statue Frag usefulness is really, really specific

Relatable. Sometimes I have nightmares about being late for class or doing badly on assignments, even though I haven't been in school in almost three years.

I would like for Lumera to get a decent amount of screentime and characterization, but realistically she'll be usable for the tutorial. It's good that we aren't denied playable dragon mom this time, unlike in Three Houses.

River City Girls is a free game trial on NSO next week.

Alright, that's worth popping the free trial again.

Really is huh.

PoR doesn't give me enough reason to always be shoving either, a shame.

I'd argue that's more because the leading ladies of FE tend to follow stereotypes of being the fragile, dumber, more helpless one compared to the strong leading male, and that is just lazy writing.

Forgot to respond to this but the criticism of them is less "why were they written this way" and more "bro x is such a dogshit character, she trusted the obviously evil character btw what is dramatic irony?"

It's a match.

My theory that she doesn't die frame 1 is starting to hold more water. Perhaps she's like the Black Knight in RD. An uber-powerful unit that doesn't stick around much for plot reasons.

Heck, Lumiere may not even stay dead forever. Perhaps in the final battle, we deus ex machina and bring her back to help against Sombron.

Yeah, classes are now more....categories, so to speak. Alfred and Celine are both Nobles but they operate vastly differently. Mystical units might be foot-locked magic users while those on mounts aren't. Makes sense from a balancing perspective.

Would also explain why we seemingly have single-weapon classes.

Like

Goldmary is a Hero here. Promoted. Yet still only swords? 

If Engaging is what allows multi-weapon use, this this all clicks in.

Also as i was looking through the screenshots for this, i came across this

Are those.....enemy Solm units? Possible coup within Solm? Timerra is extremely free spirited and also next in line to the throne so maybe the Solm conservatives didn't like that.

HEY WAIT, THAT ENEMY SOLM UNIT TO THE LEFT OF YUNAKA IS POISONED?! STATUS EFFECTS CONFIRMED?!

Rosaro having both lances and axes is what's throwing me here, I have understood it with them emblems thus far.

Well back to the drawing board i go.

Edit: i'm an idiot, Celine had both swords and magic anyways.

Although i am still saddened by her not being shown off at all. XD

Level 80!

...almost... at... the... end.

[Lightcosmo]

Also some XC2 modding stuff:

Made Spike Defence a driver accessory instead of an Aux Core and set to 100% at base. This allows for a few more Aux Core ideas + making Spike simply not annoying af to deal with overall. 

Blue-Sky Pyra now gives 25% Physical/Ether Def. Not a % multiple, just a flat 25% boost in each. DLC equipment sucked overall before and now some is gained throughout the game as well (such as this one in Temperantia.)

Technically there is exactly one place where raw Con is used in calculations in Path of Radiance, in determining if the Warrior and Berserker mastery skill Colossus can trigger, the user needs more raw Con than their opponent (on top of having a Skill% chance of proccing...all for a +STR/4 damage increase...).

Probably only the former, since Solm seems to have a long history of Enatic succession so that part would also be conservative.

Unless these are Agnatic hardliners.

Still, the fact that she's playable at all is interesting. Just last game they refused to let you have Jeralt for even five nanoseconds, because God forbid we risk the player wasting 10 experience on him, throwing a tantrum over it and refunding the game. Even in the two chapters where he appears as an NPC and could definitely have gotten the Echoes Mycen treatment, they just wouldn't allow it. The fact that she's confirmed to be playable in any capacity pleases me. It's a good sign.

I will be brutally honest with you: With her very obvious onscreen death that got paraded about in the trailer, I can only imagine dumb time traveling shenanigans being enough to save her.

And you know what? I'll take them. Better to have an interesting cast from Deus Ex Machinas than the trite "anime teens and Vandad" line-up that this is shaping up to be. Not that I hate all the non-Vandads, as I hope I've made clear at this point, but some more variety really wouldn't hurt, I think.

Alternatively, give me Ugly Old Man. C'mon, IntSys. I'm not asking for that much, I don't think. After Sombron spooks him, make him scurry over to Alear's side and rethink his entire life. Let me have him dammit. He looks like the cousin of one of my favorite villains in videogames period.

Plot twist: They're poor peasants revolting against the oppressive monarchy. Turns out fun doesn't save a hungry family from starving to death.
