    Outside of limited turn battles, I haven't seen any indication of turn based ranking (or ranking of any sort tbh) and there isn't any sort of paralogue that's unlocked by doing maps under a certain turn count like in other games, so you're free to take your time.

    With the exception of gauntlets and magic, any class can use any weapon. You can have a bow wielding mage or axe wielding dancer. Gauntlets can't be used on any class with a mount or by monks (possibly other magic classes too but I haven't checked) Magic can only be used if the class says it can use magic. Despite the wording of certain classes like priest and warlock, you CAN use any reason and faith magic that the character has learned.

    I'm assuming you mean Jeritza and Felix? If so that was just idle conversation and no actual duel happens. If you say yes to Felix though you'll gain some support points with him.

    Each month there is a tournament you can have any non-byleth character participate in for gold and reward (usually a weapon or a seal) It's basically Fates arena. You don't lose a character if they fail and you don't get experience for any of the battles.

    Wow thank you so much for the very detailed answers! I'm very grateful. 🙂 Yes, I did mean Jeritza and Felix re: duelling. It feels weird and wrong to have mages use bows, but I will just have to get used to it. 😉 The flexibility seems like it'll be fun!

  2. I have... Many questions! Please feel free to answer only one or a few or whatever. 🙂

    1. Does turn count matter? Are there battle rankings (S, A, B, etc.)? If there are rankings, what do you get for getting higher ones?
    2. Is there a limit to how many items you can have in the convoy?
    3. Can most physical units be trained to wield a melee weapon as well as a bow or only certain ones?
    4. I’ve had two characters ask me to fight them in a duel and turned both down. Was that a mistake? What does dueling entail?
    5. What does the training ground do?
    6. What is the level cap (I've seen this asked approximately 4 times in this thread so I assume we don't know yet)? EDIT: I just read on Gamefaqs that it's been confirmed that 99 is the cap. Not sure how accurate this is!

    No way to use stuff in the preparations menu. It took until FE7 for them to add that.

    As for Stamina Drinks, just put one in Asbel's inventory. You can then select him in the Deploy menu and he'll have consumed the drink when turn 1 starts.

    Thank you! This is all very helpful. 🙂

  4. I have a couple more questions!

     

    This is probably a very daft question but is it possible to "use" items in the 'convoy' / deploy menu (not sure what to call it exactly)?

     

    My specific question is: I am on chapter 11x and Asvel is fatigued, could I in theory I use an S drink on him in the menu if this is possible, but I cannot see a way to do this.  (FWIW this level looks easy enough that it's not something I will probably waste an S drink on but I am just curious if it is possible! I may have overlooked some simple way to do this.)

     

    Another question is: do morale bonuses (support, Nanna's charm skill, etc.) work in the arena? So if I have Brighton support Matcha by standing within three squares of her when she is grinding in the arena, can I expect her exploits there to go better than if he were not nearby? A sub question is: are supports the same strength no matter how close the units are? For example, if Brighton is only just within three squares of Matcha will the support be as strong as if they are directly adjacent to each other? Thanks as always for any help! 🙂

  5. I really like this game and found it quite relaxing. I'm a bit sad I've done basically everything in the game besides hit 150, but that's all that's left. So far I've just been running the lv. 128 experience check in Caravan Dancer over and over again, but then I wondered if maybe I am missing other levels that are as good or better.

     

    I did try to do a search but didn't come up with much. I feel like this must have been discussed at some point but I was not able to find it! Any input is appreciated. 🙂

    i'm not really into walkthroughs since i prefer to learn things and play on my own, but usually Gamefaqs and Neoseeker have some guides.

    otherwise, if you get stuck in some chapter, you could just ask here. there should be plenty of people who have played retro games from the FE franchise, so there should be always someone with knowledge to share.

    on a side note: i'm actually doing a marathon of FE games. i have played and completed Gaiden, Mystery of the Emblem, Genealogy of the Holy War and i'm currently at mid-game with Thracia 776( dealing with chapters 16/17, going for the East route at the moment. i plan to try the West route too once i'm done with my main run ), so if you need suggestions, feel free to ask.

    Thank you so much for all of your help and your offer for further assistance if needed! I suspect it will be since this game does seem to be a bit harder than they typically are. 😉 FWIW, for others like me who do like guides I found a good one here: https://www.fireemblemwod.com/ENG_fe5.htm it was recommended by ModelOmega and seems much better than anything else I have found. That said, I really respect people like you who play through blind or relatively blind! But for me I just get too stressed if I do that with a very difficult game like this. I do often do it with the ones that are not legendarily difficult, though. 😉

     

    It's really cool you are doing a FE marathon! I've thought about doing that as well, but I will probably wait to start until after Three Houses drops and I finish that one. 😉

  7. Many thanks to both of you for the answers!

    Thanks Fenreir especially for the info on brave weapons,  I would not have guessed that they remained rare the whole game and would have used mine more liberally than I will now! Thanks for all the other information too, it is very useful.

     

    I remembered my other questions 🙂 :

     

    Are there ranks for the battles as in some games? I haven't seen any displayed, but it is perhaps keeping track in the background? Should I be concerned with turn count for any reason?

    What causes a character to sometimes whistle (getting music note thought bubble) and then get another turn? Is there some way to force this to occur or is it pure luck?

    What do you consider to be the best walkthrough for the game?  I've been using AquiIae's FAQ at Gamefaqs and while it's ok, it definitely misses some things. I also just discovered ModelOmega's video walkthroughs on youtube which are really good and thorough but I do usually prefer text based walkthroughs. I didn't see any on this site, but maybe I am just blind and missed it? Are there other sources out there to consider? 

  8. I have a few questions:

    When do you eventually get the ability to manage your inventory in a convoy / supply? I've already sent one item to the "supply" so I assume it exists. I'm still really early in the game (2x) but I'm wondering if I should maybe prioritized only capturing for the nicer items and leaving the junk behind since my inventories are all filling up.

    From what little I've read, apparently it's commonly thought that archers aren't really worth using in this game? Do you agree or disagree?

    It seems you eventually get Hammerene staves, but how conservative should I be in the early game with the Brave weapons that you get (Finn's lance and the other guy's axe)? Brave weapons can be a huge advantage early on in FE, but they're never really worth repairing since usually you eventually are able to buy and/or find them with some ease. I guess I am wondering what point that is in this game?

    I had a few other questions but forgot! 😉 Thanks for any help!
