The damage+ skills are: +10 Life and Death Spendthrift +5 -faire Trample +4 Quick Draw Odd Shaped Evenhanded +3 Elbow Room Strong Riposte +2 Malefic Aura Magic +2 Strength +2 +1 Defender Potent Potion +x Golembane Beastbane Not everyone appreciates the drawbacks of Life and Death and Spendthrift (Spendthrift can be pretty funny when used on Corrin (if you have a decent supply of Gold Bars), because of convoy access), so you'd mainly be looking at Trample, Swordfaire, Bowfaire, Quick Draw, Elbow Room, Strong Riposte.

I'd say in terms of resource consumption vs. output the general consensus is something like Camilla, Corrin, Azura, first servant, Xander and Leo. Niles is also very popular but... seems to have some vocal detractors on this forum.

DLC skills cannot be passed to children.

If you didn't speak to him with Jakob at any point before he died, then he's dead for good. You can't repeat that mission unless you kept the prior save data.

You've got me interested. Do you Heart Seal her straight away to get started on the Lance rank? (well, I suppose the only other option is force-feeding her Arms Scrolls). She seems... very dependant on Rinkah pair-up in the early game. But I suppose every other unit is as well. Without her she's mostly 5-7HKOing the C7 enemies, and getting 3HKOed in return.

Not sure this is true. There are some exceptions (like the final boss) but I did some spot checks between hard mode stats here: http://kamikouryaku.com/fireemblemif/?攻略チャート一覧 and stats I jotted down on one of my lunatic playthroughs and they seem to match up.

If the "one character" is an earlygame flier, then I also dump stat boosters onto them.

Can't help you with your pairings but some of the defender spawn locations are tied to the buildings in your castle. Make sure you have a good number of buildings and that the tile at the entrance to the building is not being blocked by anything.

Gareth has an excellent niche for 4-E-5 in Blood Tide. Much more useful than say... Kurthnaga, from the same game.

Is the position Rescue places you predictable?

Which difficulty are you playing on? Lunatic might be difficult but easier ones can be done if you rush north with your strongest units. Remember Miriel gives Magic on pairup, so if you're just a couple of range short on Rescue that's another option.

Never hurts to have a second opinion! I've only played the game a couple of times.

My general experiences with Birthright... I think Mozu takes too effort / resources to catch up to be "good" and the payoff isn't especially good in Birthright (the game isn't kind to Bow-locked units). If you'd like a trainee-style unit I'm quite bullish about Hayato - his base damage output is much higher, he doesn't need a Heart Seal and bulky mages have a strong niche. If you have DLC / multiple paths she's a decent enough recipient of a Dread Scroll. Felicia isn't really a Jeigan - for all intents and purposes she's treated as a level 1 unit. I have very little experience with her in Birthright. I think Reina, Scarlet and Silas are very good. Oboro's perfectly fine as well. Kaze, Saizo and Kagero are all worth considering on a team. Saizo in particular is one of the strongest units in the game. In Fates, if you class change and haven't learned the skills available from that class yet, you will learn then one-by-one as you level up. e.g. If I have a Level 10 Nohr Prince and reclass to Ninja, upon reaching Level 11 they'll learn Locktouch, and then at Level 12 they'll learn Poison Strike (the first two Ninja skills). This difference comes as Awakening reset your level to 1 whenever you class changed, but Fates keeps your current level. I don't think Sakura's very good, but compared to other staff users her personal skill is very good so she has a niche. If you have two of the same weapon and a certain gemstone (available from some random events in My Castle) you can merge the weapons together to create a stronger weapon. Generally +2 Might compared to the original weapon, but higher level forges can give larger bonuses. If you're keen on Kaze, I'd recommend having him reach an A-support with Corrin before the start of Chapter 15.

Which game? If you're using Nohrian Trust that leads me to believe you're playing Revelations, in which case Hayato's the stronger character.

The general things I look for when building a team are... at least one unit with a super-strong enemy phase to help clear out some of the trickier situations (e.g. bottom room of C26) - I know you said you're not using S-ranks but if you're allowing A+ then Master Ninja Silas has proven success with this, looking at your suggested team - and a strong boss killer for Endgame and the like - I don't think any units on your suggested team are strong enough to ORKO Takumi (barring double Dragon Fang procs) so I hope there are strategies in place to send multiple units down there.

Wishing you luck - always happy to see more gameplay-related content on here.

I’ve used a few of these dudes before; I think most people have used the C23 MoA at least once! Don’t think I’ve ever used Haitaka offensively before though but he’s cute Rally Defence/Swap support. Just interested in trying some units I’m not too familiar with that can still prove effevtive hopefully... maybe someone will share some sick Keaton strats or something. ..Arthur Odin Laslow sounds like a decent enough base to work with. Problem with harem is I don’t like most of the girls in this game :’(

Thinking of starting a new run, shying away from the regulars (Camilla Xander Leo Silas Niles). Any suggestions?

Looking at enemy stats I thought base Niles should OHKO C10 Sky Knights and 2HKO Ninja? Needs a tonic for the Ninja. I finished my play through this morning, similarly I had a 10 Strength Niles at Lv17 going into C17... dude still finished 4th on my kills list. Dude just keeps finding ways to make himself useful. I even used Bifröst this run! ...I do not like Invasion 3.

Started another play through. Nearly up to C25. Much use for Silence in C26? Don’t think it would be hard to get but Corrin crushes Ryoma so considering just grabbing the 10k gold chest and winning.

If a parent tries to pass a skill the child already has, they will instead inherit the next skill up from the parent’s skill list.

Hayato gets Apothecary from Kaden.

I think Conquest is excellent. Didn’t play Revelations.

Interesting reply - there are some things I wouldn’t mind going into further depth on but I think I’ve gone well off topic so I won’t comment further.

Doesn’t have to be Niles! Having a quick look at the numbers 17/1 Selena hits the same benchmarks for Ch17. You have options. (I think the original topic was Rally Skill so Mozu isn’t really relevant for this discussion? But then again this thread is about Camilla so we’re already way off topic). But I think what I’d like to say is that I think it’s important to actually try things out and keep an open mind before dismissing them, otherwise we stagnate as players - I’ve tried some of these “gimmicks” that I was initially skeptical of (e.g. Wyvern Rider Elise) and they put in work - the maths actually does back this up as well. You don’t have to like joshcja but the dude seems like one of the more experienced players here? and I’d like to think he wouldn’t spruik strategies he found ineffective!
