I can't find Inflation either. After testing a bunch of the patches and comparing to a youtube playthrough, I found it from the japanese repo. It turned out to be the one labelled 'FE0117'. I'll post a link to just the Inflation patch, since it took some doing for me to find it myself. https://www.dropbox.com/s/gamhq30ytq7bcbt/FE4 Inflation.ips?dl=0

Radiant Dawn Jill gets Lances with her first promotion, at tier 2. Apparently that is how it's listed already

Leen and Fee/Patty before promotion are actually the only gen 2 units with a sword rank below A. Edit: and technically Tilty's kids after promotion

I have beaten Genealogy 4 or 5 times already, so I am well aware of most of the things you mentioned. I am asking specifically for a ranked run, where gaining experience is generally more important than actual efficiency. Leif can easily staffbot to level 30 once he promotes, so the real concern is getting him to level 20. I decided that by using the Paragon Ring in the arena, he shouldn't have much trouble getting there, especially since he can borrow a Hero Sword with a ton of kills on it. The only real concern will be getting him enough money, and he can take a bunch of villages in chapter 7 to get close enough. FWIW, I ended up leaving Ethlyn with the second Silver Sword and the Thunder Sword, so obv the Armourslayer will be passed to someone else. The kills on the Light Brand are not only for Leif, it's not his Prf in this game. Those extra kills not being necessary is exactly why i passed him the Thunder Sword instead. It's a good thing I didn't pass the Barrier ring, cause its very helpful now in Chapter 4. As for the Silver Blade, it's on Beowulf, but I would have given it to Holyn over Ayra since he still needs the extra Attack even with Luna - anything Ayra proc's Astra against is generally dead anyways.

I'm going for AAAA rank on Genealogy, and currently on Chapter 3. Obviously, I'm not too worried about Finn or Quan passing things down, just throw a silver lance and maybe a javelin on each. However, I'm not sure about what to pass to Leif. I'm still building kills on the Light Brand, it's at 36 before starting Chapter 3, and I want to keep building on it until the end of Gen 1. I will probably just let her run off with the Thunder Sword from this chapter. What I'm more stuck on is whether I should pass the second Silver Sword or Blade to Leif, and maybe the Barrier Ring or others I may not need. My plan was to have Beo/Ayra/Holyn get the 2 Silver Swords and the Blade, but I don't want to screw over Leif where he ends up with no cash or decent weapons. TL;DR: Should I be worried about promoting Leif quickly in a ranked run? Or just have Patty drop him some gold, and let him trudge through the arena to promote around Chapter 9? Edit: Also, should I give him the armourslayer, or let Dermott or one of Ayra's kids inherit it? Pairings:

That's true, my only counterpoint would be that Bow Knights have to be a lot more careful to not get piled, and when they kill on EP, they may have to take even more attacks. Hunter's Volley costs them a noticeable amount at 8 HP per use, and they're more liable to be doubled.

I've contacted @ajmiam through Reddit, hopefully they can rehost it. I believe it's possible to edit in any changes to the skill tree with thane98's Paragon tool. It would just take a minute to edit everything manually, not to mention that it seems kind of unwieldy for a simple edit like this, but hey, if it works it works.

FEFTwiddler. I guess they never got around to adding MyCastle editing, but it has pretty much anything else you could want.

Easy publicity without harming the brand name. 'whoopsa-daisy, we understand how that could be easily misconstrued.' Meanwhile everyone thinks it's funny and sees them as less air-tight and lifeless.

Hmm, ive never played that one. I would check the ReadMe included with the patch. Just a tip, make sure you [@] me, or quote my post, otherwise i may not see your reply! Edit: the creator of that patch has said that it's outdated and breaks with the new translations. https://forums.serenesforest.net/index.php?/topic/88308-recommend-remove-my-fe4-patch/

You mean the "Binary" hack? Some units in FE4 are pre-promotes and don't get a second promotion (Sigurd, Cuan, Brigid in gen 1).

@Barren, glad i could help. I remember when i first started playing, i paid a lot of attention to class growths, and as i started playing I realized that I didn't really want to sacrifice movement or flying for better growths. Ingrid does have some protection from the RNG with her auto-levels and high bases. Wyvern classes have solid base stats to boot. If i come across an enemy that i missed a speed benchmark for, i just make a note that I'll have to take it out with combat arts or chip from distance. If i sacrifice performance for class growths, i usually feel like I'm handicapping myself and the payoff isn't worth it. Just my $.02, this is something i didnt realize until i actually jumped in and started playing.

I didn't find the end of CS to be that far-fetched, I don't really see it as a triple-cross - more that he didn't want to double-cross in the first place. He was forced to, and had to make it convincing enough to fool Aelfric. It was a fake double-cross. I'll admit that the writing was fairly corny, but I can see what they were going for. That aside, it definitely does bother me that Yuri is written as an arrogant edgelord where it wasn't necessary. This might be more of an issue with him being written into the monastery than with CS itself. I feel like they probably tried too hard to make him a 'tough guy' since he's effeminate - I'm thinking of his supports with Byleth. It's kind of the opposite of how they messed up Leon in SoV. (btw, couldn't they make them look different at all??)

She can jump back down to Soldier/Noble if she REALLY needs a battalion for a battle during the month of Chapter 6, and still keep the nice stats that she gets when she's recruited as a Pegasus. Personally, I don't really pay any attention to class growths in general, although since my first playthrough I've always played on NG+ with the Holy Tomb for stat-boosters. But at least in my experience, I would much rather have the extra 2 move and flying than the extra speed growth, especially for Ingrid since she should have Darting Blow and pretty good speed by the time she's at Advanced classes anyways. Swordmaster's strength growth is nothing special, it's the same 10% as her other realistic options for Advanced. I generally like to have my fliers focus on lances/axes more than swords as well. Just to clarify, this is assuming non-NG+ (no statues), Maddening, and no sauna. If she has full motivation before she's instructed (twice), and has Authority as one of her goals all month, she will always hit D by mission day. I didn't actually know this was possible, but I wanted to point out that none of this depends on any bonuses or RNG.

See this method: Does anyone happen to know if you can get the 3 weapons across different save files, or do you have to actually have all 3 at once? I had 3 Sol's and a Luna from my Blitzkreig run. I have the file backed up, but i would probably have to re-do some other medals if i restore that save.

Yes, class growths are always added to individual ones. I think as far as raw stats it's always better to wait, even for mages. It's just a matter of whether or not it's worth it.

I agree, i usually recruit during chapter 6 for anyone I've waited for. I do think their auto-levels use fixed growths rather than probability though. Agreed, i definitely don't do this for everyone, especially for units where Fortress Knight certification makes some of the higher growths unnecessary. I just wanted to share how this actually works and why it is recommended by some. I just used code tags, i didnt actually intend for it to do that lol.

I couldn't find a comprehensive explanation for why this was recommended, so I'll share here what was explained to me.

When i played through CF, I didn't talk to her at all until i was ready to end the last explore session, and i was able to attend the coronation. I think if you talk to her and turn her down, you miss the event, but if you don't talk to her until then (motivate with meals rather than gifts), you can still go at the end of the month and not miss any tutoring. I vaguely remember having to backtrack to an earlier save to avoid talking to her that month. When you get to chapter 6, students you haven't recruited reach level 11 and are auto promoted into their intermediate class. They actually use enemy-unit growths, and those are applied retroactively for every level they gained. Enemy-Pegasus' growths are way better than Soldier's, or any player classes', so Ingrid's raw stats get better than usual the longer that you hold off on recruiting her, the same goes for most physical units. The major downside is that they are stuck with their default skill goals, and you can't tutor them (or obviously use them, outside of mission assistance). Magic users don't get significantly better growths, and most have sub-optimal goals, which is why you might as well recruit them ASAP.

Double posting to make sure you see this. Lmk if the link doesnt work for you. I wanted to use imgur but it wasn't cooperating and I didn't want to dox myself. https://photos.app.goo.gl/SEjTPgLK33VcteEg6 Edit: none of the amiibo classes have a base resistance either, for what it's worth.

@Integrity sure, ill do it for the top tier classes (non-overclass), since the bases are cumulative anyways. Bear with me, my house doesn't have power atm from the storm and my MVNO data is really slow right now.

Pegasus Mae for Blitzkreig, I'm not sure if she was blessed in Atk, but she turned out absolutely bonkers, Palla honestly couldn't even compare. I also made Boey an archer just so i could actually use him, then i realized i only had one bow between him and Leon until the Desert Fort since I didn't want to use Inner Sanctum. You'd still need a dread fighter or two to tank magic, plus a healer. Not to mention the trouble you would have against Barons...

Read the tally you (haven't) kept. 😨 You can mitigate/avoid map spawns if you save before you move and burn RNGs. If you are stealthy, you can use the Inner Sanctum DLC to farm money and weapons, though it does take reeeeeally long. You can also skip Nuibaba+Fear Mountain entirely if you're worried about turns.

This is actually a significant one: In Echoes: SoV, not a single class has a base minimum for resistance. There are various values given for resistance on this page: [https://serenesforest.net/fire-emblem-echoes-shadows-valentia/classes/base-stats/], but no classes have a minimum for resistance (or it is no higher than 1). I can post evidence of this, but i do think nearly everyone is aware that Myrmidons don't have a minimum of 6 resistance. AFAIK, all of the other stats are accurate. "Shiida" was used in the EU version of Shadow Dragon, as well as SSBB. So it is technically canon.
