Doesn't it just double your weapon's might? Seems underwhelming.

What happens to Hammer's hit rate since it's not targeting an armour anymore? I know it's -4 mt, but there's supposedly a hit rate penalty as well.

You don't have to fight him at all, but a strong enough Corrin (+str or mag) can probably destroy him. There's also his 11 resistance, but your tome users needs to be able to survive the counter. Garon does look a lot more problematic.

Did you take into account effective weaponry's ineffective penalty? iirc FeWoD says it's -4 mt or smth.

Darting Blow variants of Ryoma double everything as fast as or slower than Ryoma, anyway...

Sorry for not responding to this earlier, but no, it doesn't. It only includes Yato, S-rank weaponry because we deemed these overpowered (whether that's true and final remains to be seen) and weapons with silly names like Ryoma's Shitty-Ass Club. Pretty curious how shapeshifters will perform in this meta. Existing outside of the weapon triangle (without a -breaker skill designed for them) and having good speed with the B-rank beaststone gives them an interesting niche.

The class max stats sheet in the resource topic now contains hit/avo/crt/cev prior to personal modifiers as well as weapon rank caps. Ranks control how effective the weapon triangle goes against a target (+4 / -4 difference in atk/def when a dual weapon is involved) as well as the bonus a unit gets when not at WTA. The weapon triangle is generally a crucial thing in this metagame, it seems. So go check it out.

Yeah, but it's not happening until it's your turn. And it's your turn now. And I misunderstood what Triple Threat actually does, thanks Horace.

Sorta like Resolve you mean? Just say it activates and leave it at that? Since Camilla does not strike again on that same attack for Hinata to attempt to Pavise a blow.

Right now Savage Blow affects only the person you chose to target at 1-2 range, Inspiration and Camilla's personal affect everyone in their team. Whether this is the best and most balanced way to go about these skills remains to be discussed.

Yeah, forgot that swords are effective against bows now lmao. Processing the next round with Nin's first query tho.

In Awakening, we never used supports, and I feel this is going to be the case here. Same with attack/guard stance.

Just for the hell of it, here are all 22 class sets tiered by utility taking into account the present rules. Top Archer (Skill+2, Quick Draw, Certain Blow, Bowfaire, Air Superiority, Amaterasu) Nohr Prince (Dragon Fang, Hoshidan Unity, Draconic Hex) Samurai (Duelist’s Blow, Vantage, Astra, Swordfaire, Seal Strength) Sky Knight (Darting Blow, Camaraderie, Warding Blow, Air Superiority, Amaterasu) High Dark Mage (Heartseeker, Malefic Aura, Vengeance, Bowbreaker, Seal Magic, Lifetaker) Knight (Defence+2, Luna, Armored Blow, Wary Fighter, Pavise) Mercenary (Good Fortune, Strong Riposte, Sol, Axebreaker, Shurikenbreaker) Spear Fighter (Seal Defence, Seal Speed, Lancefaire, Rend Heaven, Quixotic) Troubadour (Resistance+2, Gentilhomme/Demoiselle, Inspiration, Tomebreaker) Wyvern Rider (Strength+2, Swordbreaker, Savage Blow, Trample) Mid Cavalier (Elbow Room, Aegis, Luna, Armored Blow) Diviner (Magic+2, Tomefaire, Rend Heaven, Quixotic) Fighter (HP+5, Gamble, Axefaire, Sol, Axebreaker) Kitsune (Evenhanded, Beastbane, Even Better, Grisly Wound) Monk/Shrine Maiden (Miracle, Renewal, Countermagic, Tomefaire) Oni Savage (Seal Resistance, Death Blow, Lancebreaker) Outlaw (Lucky Seven, Shurikenbreaker) Wolfskin (Odd Shaped, Beastbane, Better Ods, Grisly Wound) Low Ninja (Poison Strike, Shurikenfaire, Golembane) Songstress (Luck+4, Voice of Peace, Foreign Princess) Bottom Villager (Profiteer, Spendthrift, Seal Strength) Apothecary (if Profiteer, Spendthrift do nothing, only lolGolembane) Basically, most of the skillsets are good? If Lethality is unbanned and Profiteer/Spendthrift do something, then basically only Azura remains in a sorta useless class, and I can see her skills being useful when buddy/marriage reclassing becomes a thing. Lethality could be limited by not letting the player combo it with Quixotic and Hoshidan Unity. M/B reclassing will give the metagame a lot more freedom since the extra skills and classes basically turn this into a children meta of sorts... before we even consider checking out children.

It looks like my party just might have the resources necessary to get a pretty low-turn clear of chapter 13's rout. I believe I can even ORKO Takumi without using Camilla at all, but the question is whether anybody is going to die on the subsequent enemy phase. I actually regret my Camilla is as a sturdy as she happens to be, because the Beastkiller cav just ignores her and heads east for my more vulnerable units, who are coincidentally all vulnerable to the Beastkiller (even Avatar with her absurd bulk gets OHKO'd). I'm either slowing down so that nobody dies (because routing is hard without a durable user of magic when some enemies have a lot of physical Mt while others have Javelins), which might let me visit more villages, or going faster and sacrificing everything again. Apparently, the weapon I missed in the previous map was an Armorslayer. Ironically, it could be pretty useful in the hands of MU in the current map I'm trying to figure out. The Arms Scroll is probably the one item I care about the most in the present map - it's either Camilla or Selena who wants one badly ASAP.

You can obtain your bonus items again on different files. Anyone with existing kunai rank (other than Felicia) makes a good Dread Fighter, as does anybody who isn't otherwise very good.

Have you been training them at all? A promotion couldn't hurt at this point.
