I would go for the archer because it's essentially a free kill because there's an optimal range for bows and most of them don't work as well as you'd expect at point blank range.
I mean, you see that Nemesis was clearly going for Claude multiple times, but Byleth constantly placed himself right between Nemesis and Claude. Nemesis can't defend himself at close range if he's using his whip sword.

Yep. I'm fully with Kiran on this one xD
Yeah, I really like this "force of nature" interpretation of her, where she's just apathetic to everything because everyone will fall under her domain eventually.
This is how Hel always should be. She's not meant to be cruel, she's not meant to seek people's deaths or kill anyone. She IS death, so she merely needs to wait until they meet the inevitable.
Sure, Book 3 remains my favorite, but Hel honestly should never have been this evil villain there. It doesn't work for her.

After seeing Hel call out Fallen Dimitri in his Forging Bonds, I learned to appreciate how Hel just has no hesitation to put down anyone's arrogance.

The fact that there are multiple Gunters is hilarious. XD

I would rather see more Three Houses than an eighth Camilla alt. At least they have several popular characters to spread alts around instead of spamming alts on the same character over and over. Only exception I would make for Camilla would be a resplendent alt.
Before we even get another Camilla alt, we'll get another Lyn alt.

I'd say, it's also a testament to Rudolf the fact it took around 24 years between becoming Emperor and actually invading Zofia, despite Duma's degenerating sanity wanting him to attack. He was able to keep him appeased on the promise that he will for that long before he had an actual excuse to strike and set his plan in motion: the famine and Lima's refusal to help Rigel. Instead of just invading willy-nilly.
After all, between Duma going mad and the radicalization of the Duma Faithful, he had to act cautiously on the subject.
Rudolf was really banking on that prophecy.

It would have been interesting to see Mila's take on the situation. She started showing signs of corruption too and either agreed or just didn't care about what Lima was doing.
Yeah, but given that she smothers the people so much, even if she felt it was wrong, she wouldn't have personally made efforts to correct that behavior.
2 hours ago, Jotari said:Was Conrad's mother specifically a trade for food that Lima backed out on? Because if so then that's a hell of a long time for Rigel to sit on their add. Conrad is already in his 20s.
Indeed. But they couldn't do anything. Not so long as the pact remained.
The only reason the pact was broken was when Duma gave Rudolf Falchion in order to seal Mila away. Without Falchion, opposing Mila was foolhardy.

Young Man: I heard what the knight said, but it sounds like a load of horse plop to me. Everyone knows it’s Zofia’s fault that Rigel invaded in the first place. King Lima refused to help the Rigelian Empire during their famine, remember? And we all know the emperor didn’t take too kindly to THAT little slight. Such a shame. The kingdom and the empire had been getting along so well. The king may be dead, but his choices live on. Ain’t that always the way of it?
Yeah, this line here basically justifies Rigel invading Zofia. I believe that Rigel had sent in Conrad's mother to be one of Lima's concubines, and in return, Rigel would be provided food. And Lima backed out on the deal after getting what he wants.
Under normal circumstances, Rigel would have invaded Zofia immediately for that. However, they couldn't because of the pact made by Duma and Mila. Lima literally hid behind Mila and used her to get away with his horrible actions.

One thing I found shocking is the fact that Camus actually DID choose to learn about the future. Repeatedly characters that consider telling their past self about their future, they accept that it is better not to do that. Yet here we have Camus choosing to want to learn, though he does state that the future he knows is not set in stone.

And neat that he gets to spar against the Black Knight -- too bad Ares missed the party.
Yeah. Honestly, too bad the Black Knight cheats with his enchanted armor. Camus is one of the strongest characters in Fire Emblem history. Dude fought a battalion over 200 strong and a dragon, and even Medeus likened Camus' strength to that of Anri, who also performed some insane feats.

So for the ending if you let Chrom deal the final blow, Grima does his whole "I'll be back" thing.
Maybe I'm crazy, but wouldn't this be prevented by Robin simply not having kids?
The amount of people with any Grima blood almost certainly plummeted to near-zero after the Mass-suicide to resurrect Grima. (and unless I'm mis-remembering, you need someone with Grima Blood to resurrect Grima.)
Robin and their off-spring seems like the only candidate to have a decent amount of Grima Blood. (Unless the Grimleal have a giant vat of Grima Blood somewhere that's never mentioned.)
So if Robin simply just didn't have kids, No more Grima Blood in substantial amounts and Grima's resurrection would seemingly become impossible.
It's not even like they can take blood from Grima's corpse since it turns instantly into a skeleton in both endings.
Not quite. The thing is, it's hard to verify whether there are no more Fellbloods out there, but based on Naga's words, indicating that Grima WILL come back in the future, it's possible that there are other Fellbloods out there. Robin became the only candidate that could inherit Grima's power, but even if he dies childless, there are possibly other children out there still that can, even in diluted bloodline.

I also don't see how people sees Alfonse and Veronica as a thing.
Lif and Thrasir is a thing because they were the only ones that "survived" the battle against Hel in their world, and they were the only ones that could support each other... be there for each otehrs though all those bad times. They formed a deep bond there.
Alfonse and Veronica... I don't see anything there between them.
Maybe cause I also played Dragalia Lost, when Alfonse and Veronica got along. First when Veronica momentarily lost her memories, and then they put aside their differences because in that world, they aren't the prince and princess of their respective nations there.
Overall, when they aren't trying to kill each other, they get along well.

I could agree with this, if she were caught up in the fighting and somehow unable to defend herself. Like, suppose Eldigan is charging in with Mystletainn. Leaving (presumably) without any knights to defend her would be a poor choice in such a scenario.
The thing is, though, she doesn't get caught up in the fighting. Rather, she's captured by Manfroy. He warps in, grabs her, and warps out. No one had any reason to anticipate him as a threat here. It's like getting scooped up by a pterodactyl, thousands of miles from Jurassic Park. If she left with an armed escort, perhaps she wouldn't be captured. But as nameless mooks, Manfroy could probably kill them all with little effort, before taking Dierdre.
The limit of this warping power is unclear. He likely could do it in the presence of Sigurd or his army, but doesn't, because he doesn't want to be discovered. There might be something about the home castle preventing him from warping in, but again, it might just be that he doesn't want to risk being discovered. So the only way for Dierdre to avoid being captured by Manfroy, is to never be outside alone. Which is a highly unrealistic expectation - especially in light, again, of Manfroy not yet being a known threat.
In sum, running onto the field of battle, alone, was not smart in light of those defensive stats. But Dierdre's capture was basically inevitable, in light of Manfroy's absurd power. And she can't be held responsible for falling victim to a threat that nobody had any reason to anticipate.
I disagree in this case. Just because the fighting wasn't directly here does not mean that it was perfectly safe. Once you leave the castle, there can be anything that can be dangerous as you travel through. Random bandits could come from anywhere, or spies and the likes. You shouldn't just go out alone when there're battles happening. It's a huge thing to always be wary of in times of war. Leaving all alone without any form of defense for yourself is tantamount to suicide. Deirdre oughta have known this as she traveled with Sigurd.
Nameless mooks could at least hold Manfroy off long enough for Deirdre to escape. Manfroy specifically waited for when Deirdre went out all alone, which, in itself, shows that he needed Deirdre to be all alone and defenseless. Had she an armed escort, she could have escaped long enough to return to the castle, in which would be fortified and have more troops there to stop Manfroy. Even with all his power, Manfroy wouldn't be foolish enough to go at a fort all by himself.
Let's not account to the case of "plot warping", as such a case is never used beyond just warping for the sake of plot convenience.
-
I'll play devil's advocate and agree to a certain expect. What Deirdre did was not exactly the most responsible thing. Instead of having faith in her husband, she left the safety of the castle and only got kidnapped, which was a horrible mistake. Didn't even leave with an armed escort.

Alfonese x Veronica children soon?
Ironically, while I ship Lif and Thrasir, that does not actually extend to Alfonse and Veronica. Mostly cause Veronica looks like a kid.

5. Uh...Veld is...a god by association? No, I can do better than that. Veld can create Dread Fighters, it means he can literally give life to inanimate matter. That is the power of a god right there.
Wait, pretty sure it was stated that Veld never made the Deadlords. That was Manfroy lending him some. Not sure, exactly.
But Veld does turn people into stone, so relation to Medusa sort of, despite how Medusa is the creature that Nuibaba made a pact with in Valentia, if we simply go by the case of Medusa's lore, then it still fits with gods.

Avatars are always a controversial thing. It's a hit or miss. But Kris's issue is that he is an avatar that is in an existing game. He took lines and is praised too much by characters. There's too much player worship. Yes, FE7 has that, but FE7 is it's own game. The player worship in a game that already existed hurts Kris's standing.

They definitely should have had a Jake in 3H. If Anna has zero supports and thus cannot be made into a waifu, then just let her be in a relationship with Jake. At least have him mentioned.

Still, Arete and Mikoto are part of the royal family too, so it seems strange they wouldn't have reached out to him too. Unless Azura's father was just quite a bit older than her mother so Anankos has known him far longer.
I mean, Anankos called him his last true friend. So it's likely that the rest of the members weren't as close.
8 minutes ago, Jotari said:Not sure where the failed Revalation timeline is coming from. I thought Heirs of Fates was the future Conquest/Birthright timelines merging. Which would have no issue on this point as Sumeragi and Arete etc are never rekilled in Birthright or Conquest.
Nope, Shigure gives a whole lore dump about how the rest of the kids were each individually from a Birthright or Conquest route, while he came from a Revelations route where everyone came together to fight Anankos, but the Omega Yato broke and Anankos won, with Azura only being able to save Shigure to her dying breath using her song. After that, Anankos began an invasion of the other worlds, attacking the worlds of each of the kids.

Oh, okay. Isn't Heirs of Fate a sort-of elseworlds/bad-future thing?
Basically a failed Revelations route that later attacks other Birthright/Conquest worlds.

Uh... I'm sorry; I don't understand what you're saying. I haven't played Heirs of Fate, and I don't understand what you mean by "he had [them] back"; could please be a bit more clear?
You fight them in one of the Heirs of Fate chapters.

I agree with everyone pointing out that Anankos killing Azura's father was the thing that brought about his final descent into madness and is something he'd want to avoid remembering, especially since, in his mad rants, he refers to himself as "the betrayed king", suggesting that his madness had led to false, self-serving memories.
Would have been neat if someone pointed it out to Anankos and he just kept denying it and saying that he was the one that was betrayed first, and delude himself into saying that he did nothing wrong.
10 minutes ago, vanguard333 said:Adding to that, there might also be a simple practical reason: depending on how exactly Anankos killed him, there might've been nothing left to reanimate. With Garon, Mikoto, Sumeragi, etc., he had complete corpses to work with, and Arete died from the curse he himself created, so her body that vanished was probably brought before him by the curse or something like that. With Azura's father, however, he probably ate him, destroyed him with his dragon breath, or tore him to literal shreds with his claws. So, there'd be nothing left except dragon poop, charred bones, or tiny irreparable pieces.
Though in Heirs of Fate, he had Sumeragi, Arete, and Mikoto back. Unless they are other world versions.

Ah so Anankos was friends with multiple generations of the Vallite royal family. I was remembering him going crazy around the time of the first one, which isn't entirely inaccurate either as it was a gradual process. Still you'd expect if he was on such good terms with Azura's father he'd similarly be on good terms with Arete.
You could consider that killing Azura's father is something that Anankos hates himself. His madness is the belief that humans are evil creatures. Killing Azura's father, the man that reached out to him, is something that Anankos would rather pretend didn't happen, because it clashes with his belief that humans are evil.
Exactly how smart is Nemesis?

Yeah, hard to measure intelligence when the MOST we can assume of his intelligence is that he managed to drag out a war against Seiros for over half a century before finally dying.
