Aquaze

Honestly i'm finding that anyone can be good if you know how to grind them. I'm doing my second playthrough of the 3rd path and after heavily relying on the older royals last run(Marx, Ryouma, Leon, Takumi) I decided to focus on other characters this run. The trick is you just need to win alot of my castle battles vs enemy Ai opponents and get skills of enemies. With the right skills and weapons any character can be strong. Right now i'm on chapter 22 and my heavy hitters are Felicia(Found her Ice tray weapon that scales off mag, gave her Sol, axe breaker, Kunai breaker, kunaifaire, and pavise) she doubles and ORKOs anything atm, also Sakura, bought her the bow that scales off mag from the Nohr shop and while frail shes a very powerful war priestess, Hinoka and Setsuna, are both my fliers and after getting Hinoka breaking sky it offsets her mediocre str, and she has bowbreaker and pavise and renewal so shes hard to kill. Setsuna is squishier but with Bowfaire she hits like a truck. If you are playing the 3rd path or Hoshido and you want to use any unit, just do my castle battles and buy skills, it makes literally anyone strong.

So far the third path plays like a hybrid of the other two. There are some route maps. Some sieze etc. Also yes you do get the ability to grind like on Hoshido. You can pay money for skirmishes or do random skirmishes that appear on the map. Thank heavens for that.

Playing the 3rd path on hard. Levels aren't too bad so far, then I got to chapter 9. My god. My units went from doing well to literally dealing 1 damage to enemies and taking 20 back. I only beat the level because kamui paired with aqua was able to outank most enemies and kaze dodge tanked for literally 5 minutes and killed 7 enemies by himself when they were dealing 15 damage a hit. It reminded me of the first time I did the nohr path and the levels were pretty mild until the defend the harbor level where I had to learn really fast where to send which units each turn.

uggh. I'm downloading it right now but i'm stuck trying to decide between female and male kamui. I've played both hoshido and Nohr so far and I LOVE female Kamui. I love her animations, her Vos. Everything about her just seems much cooler than male kamui. I've done one male kamui run and haven't finished it yet. Yet i'm so tempted to do a male kamui run first for the 3rd path JUST to marry Aqua. Ugh decisions decisions.

That's my theory too but I'm clueless. So far on two of my runs I've gotten kagerou 's weapon. On one run I beat the game and s ranked her with tsukuyomi. On my current run I haven't even recruited her yet so I doubt it has to do with supports. I have kaze at a rank and don't have his weapon and felicia at s rank and don't have hers either. I tried going to other people's castles and shopping there but their shops only carry standard weapons. I'm lost XD.

It's a hidden weapon that scales off of mag. I want to give it to felicia but I have no idea where to find it.

In terms of gameplay I enjoyed both but for different reasons. When starting a map on the Hoshido side I would ask myself "who do I want to use?" On the Nohr side it was often "Who do I have to use?" For example early in the nohr path if a map has alot of spell users you WILL be spamming Zero and Joker/Felicia. I personally like Hoshido more as a result. Character wise I felt the playable Nohr cast were alot more entertaining. No one was really annoying or anything. Story wise I felt Hoshido was much much better than Nohr. I dunno there just didn't seem to be much morally gray places just good vs evil to compare the two stories.

Does anyone know how to get the Kunai that scales off of magic early? It's the only way for felicia to do any damage.

Look on serenes for the item list before you buy an item. The pinned thread on menu translations is amazing and helped me through I UT the entire game.

Still on my first playthrough but I chose Hoshido and I can't get enough of attacking as a golden kite flier with a bow. When they like leap off the bird and snipe someone mid air it looks amazing. IS outdid themselves with these animations imo.

I did something similar and accidentally changed from hard to normal. Thankfully I had an in battle save (casual mode) from the last chapter and reloaded.

Ah thank you. I completely overlooked that.

Playing through and just chose my side but I wanted to also download the other path so I can play it next, only I can't read Japanese so I don't know if i need to go to a menu in game or the eshop. I tried going to the outrealm gate where Anna is but none of those options would let me download anything. Then I tried going to the extras menu on the main screen but none of those options worked either XD.

Ah okay. That makes sense. Thanks!

Hi I want to download both games digitally on a japanese 3ds but since I can't read japanese I was wondering how the discounted pricing works. Like say I download Hoshido then after I want to add the exact amount of funds to download Nohr will Nohr already be half off for me? And I'll have to add half the amount of funds?

I want to know the class sets for certain characters specifically

I would honestly do Luna just because I love their supports together. Sol is also really nice there is no unit I can think of where Sol is useless unless you have like a pure healer or something. Even then Sol is amazing on the enemy phase.

I wouldn't be surprised to see another Golden pack return. I would like to see two DLCs one for Hoshido and one for Nohr that deal with the three awakening look alikes on either side. Maybe as rewards both DLCs could give class outfits. IE: A spellcaster outfit, a Ninja outfit, and a Pegasus knight outfit for clearing Hoshido, and a Mercenary, Hero, and Dark mage outfit for clearing Nohr. These outfits allow characters who wear them to take on the appearence of that class. In awakening I always wished I could make the avatar wear the base tactician clothes instead of grandmaster but that was impossible on Lunatic due to how gimped your stats would be without promoting.

The only issue I see with it is how would they balance it for two separate games? I mean yeah you can't grind to infinity anymore but you can still grind much more in Hoshido than you can in Nohr. If they balance it around what you are likely to beat the game at in Hoshido, Nohr players basically need to buy some type of grinding DLC. If they balance it around what you are likely to be around when you beat Nohr then it would be way too easy if you started with hoshido and grinded at all.

From what I saw in the growths topic awhile ago I imagine Kinu and by default Nishiki are good on the Hoshido route. Both of them seem like amazing dodge tanks which mean they don't need to pair up nearly as much and they can double pretty much anything.

Since we know it exists, what combination of skills/classes/ characters will likely be very common online? I'm assuming sol will be common on almost everyone. Luna as well. I can also see the classic vantage and Vengeance combo.

Aw i was really hoping

Thanks for the App OP! Its awesome. This is the female Kamui i'm going to use in most of my playthroughs. (Gotta do F!Kamui x Shara XP) And this is the male one I plan on doing for around 2 playthroughs. Once to marry Aqua and once to marry Pieri. Might drop the facemarkings on both but idk for now.

Was considering marrying Pieri in my first Nohr playthrough. I knew she was unhinged but shes full on yandere XD.
