Druplesnubb Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I lost the White Heron Cup despite my dancer having 14 charm. And whatever rng is involved seems to have already been decided some time ago because reesetting doesn't work. How exactly does the calculation for whether you win or lose work? How much charm do I need for 100% chance of winning? And how far back do I need to reset for a second shot with 14 charm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Branniglenn Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Haven't heard of failing with at least 13 charm. Have you done Tea time yet? If you do a perfect tea time (including having a tea that they like), then that's up to two guaranteed points a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I dunno, because I always pick someone who is well over 13 charm for it. I would sooner chalk this up to The Computer Is A Lying Bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that 14 charm was a guaranteed win (I have lost at 13 before, though). Just checking, but the charm figure you're quoting is without any battalions, class modifiers (e.g. from Pegasus Knight, Lord), or accessories, right? Because I'm pretty sure none of those are counted. I'd guess that to savescum it, you'd need to reload a save in the previous chapter (that's how other certifications work). Or, go back far enough that you can take @Zapp Branniglenn's advice and get in a couple tea times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PostZordem Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 That's odd, a charm stat above 13 should warrant a victory in the White Heron Cup. I'd recommend choosing a student with a high charm stat as your representative for the WHC. I'd also recommend choosing a student who's eager to participate in the event, since they'll probably have a better chance of winning if they actually want to take part in it. In all of my Three Houses runs so far, this choice has always worked out as long as my rep's charm stat was over 13, so maybe it plays a factor in deciding the winner. Though you can have any student, willing, neutral, or unwilling, win it anyways, so it may just be down to the charm stat. Make sure you do the practice session with your representative, since it increases their charm stat by 5 points. Tea Time's also a great way to raise charm with the student you pick, so make sure to do a few of those as well. Cooking a meal that raises charm also doesn't hurt if you've got the ingredients. You'll probably need to go back to (at least) the previous chapter before the WHC event in order to have a second shot. The higher the charm, the better your chances should be, so I'd recommend that you get your representative's charm stat as high as you can on the next go.

Yes, I did, however during my first playthru I picked Flayn and she got all 3 votes. I don't remember her charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barren Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I normally have someone with a charm stat well above 13 before I try it. Sometimes just above 13 would normally work. Also you if have the person you picked for the White Heron Cup to do a practice session where you’ll see Byleth show their student how to dance, you’ll get a +5 to your charm stat thus pretty much giving you the win. I typically get 2 out of 3 votes from the judges. Haven’t gotten all 3 votes on any given play through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
