Othin

Oh, it bugs me too. I wish there was some other way: my preferred solution would be to give it ~10x the cost on Lunatic, like how Reeky Boxes are handled on Hard and up. I'd certainly like those restrictions a whole lot more with the most "intrusive" one unneeded.

My suggested conditions are no skirmishes, no buying Nosferatu, and no replaying DLC. I'd call this a good benchmark for a "fair" run: anything more is rather superfluous, and anything less just kills the entire point. I completed it under these conditions and saw the mode put up quite a fight but it was completely doable and reasonable.

Yes.

The weird thing is, in the Japanese version, Lief's map was cheaper than the other two, while here it's more expensive than Alm's.

SpotPass teams? But you don't even get Exp from them... if you want to cheap out and grind, why not use the DLC?

Go to the Avatar Log, select them, and select Update or whatever relevant option to make sure the preserved version's stats match the current one's.

Apparently horses are pretty heavy and therefore have stat drops if you carry them, but if you carry them out of the map, you get them free from the horse guy afterward. So yay. That's where most of your other free horses came from. Aegina is pretty bad at the start with her Wind spell, but it becomes pretty scary if you can get her some Mag boosts, since the damage doubles and pierces Def. You also get some better Wind magic for her later on. In the meantime, she can hit really hard with any Fire spells you buy, but that won't let her get the training for her Wind rank she kind of needs in the long run if you care to use her.

To simplify it all in one place and to clear up some things that weren't quite right: FE1: +1 AS FE2: +1 AS FE3: +3 AS FE4: +1 AS and Pursuit FE5: +4 AS TRS: +5 AS

no no http://serenesforest.net/fe13/class_max.html http://serenesforest.net/fe13/char_max_all.html These are the caps. Level-ups and permanent stat-boosters cannot break them ever; temporary bonuses like skills, weapons, Pair Up, and basically anything else can.

That's like saying the weapon triangle and weapon ranks and non-Seize objectives wouldn't make sense outside the Jugdral games, or at least not in Archanea/Valencia games.

There's always room for improvement, but I'd be very surprised and disappointed if Pair Up was removed or severely nerfed in future games. But yes, the Dual abilities could use some work.

I honestly don't see much of a way it would be. By the time you can get all three, you should be able to do better than Wrath, anyway... I guess Vantage could help Vengeance, but I don't see it as at all optimal.

Needs no change. It grants a useful and reasonable advantage, and as long as the enemy stats are high enough, they can challenge it properly.

No, you aren't. On my first file, I was able to have my Avatar learn every skill, class and otherwise, available to him, and never had any issues with space.

Ignis is generally better unless you have a specific setup in mind to take advantage of Vengeance.

It has the similar double-ended shape, but it doesn't look quite right... the "main" end looks like a Horseslayer, which of course doesn't exist in this game, but that was an early image, right? So maybe they did at that point.

If the trailer was using already-existing art, it's a given that it wouldn't include FE2/4/5 characters, so this is really no surprise.

Chrom's skill gives the bonus whenever he shows up in the battle screen, whether at the main attacker or as the support attacker.

Taking more rounds to kill enemies means getting more support points.

Have the two pair up and fight as much as possible.

Yeah, they become available after Ch12, and you're gonna find yourself spamming them for the rest of the game from this point. Promoted enemies are really a pain on Lunatic.

You're gonna want billions of Rescue staffs in any chapter from this point out, really.

Yeah, you can download them at any stage; you just can't play them until post-Ch25. It uses all of them, even if they refer to the same stats: if a character has Rally Speed, Rally Love, and Rally Spectrum, nearby units will get +10 Spd and +6 to their other stats. Worth noting that while you can stack multiple different Rallies that affect the same stats, you can't stack multiple of the same Rally: using Rally Speed a second time with another unit won't add an additional bonus.

No. It's exclusive, like the Lord and Dancer classes.

You sell it for all the gold.
