Offensively (with the +20%) Str/Dex/Spd : 40/60/60 is like top 5 in the game, I'd say only Dimitri and Edelgard (maybe Felix/Catherine ?) are better. Those are better (by like 5%) than Claude. (Mag : At 35% he's still above average when you look at everyone) Defensively (with +20%) HP/Def/Res(/Luck for that sweet crit evade) : 55/30/30(/50) is still better than 3/4 (if not more) of the other students. If he can get screwed, literally anyone can.

Just finished GD, all my units ended between lvl 47 (Byleth) and 44. Here are the battles/victories stats at the end : Byleth [Mercenary -> Hero -> Enlightned One (mastered during last chapter)] = 241/148 Claude [Lord -> Wyvern Rider-> unique class -> unique class] = 167/111 Lorenz [Mage -> Warlock -> Dark Knight] = 190/113 Raphael [Armored Knight -> Fortress Knight -> War Master] = 224/111 Ignatz [Thief -> Assassin -> Mortal Savant] 198/120 Lysithea [Mage -> Warlock -> Gremory] = 125/98 Marianne [Priest -> Bishop -> Holy Knight] = 133/90 Hilda [Pegasus Knight -> Brigand...(don't do that people) -> Falcon Knight] = 195/125 Leonie [Archer -> Sniper -> Bow Knight] = 187/118 Cyril = [Brigand -> Warrior (wanted to stay Warrior for that good old Axe + Bow feeling from GBA and was really late to pick up Gauntlet to go War Master by the end)] 156/101 Flayn just danced They all are pretty close to each other. I am happy. From how I felt while playing : -Byleth (got speed screwed toward the end) I didn't really know what to do with him to be honest, he was just kinda there but strong...and mastering Enlightned One took too long. N°4 -Claude got a bit speed screwed but still really effective. N°3 -Lorenz got pretty screwed in everything except HP and Res but he was still okay. N°9 -Raphael that dude couldn't really die and was hitting like a truck. N°2 -Ignatz a.k.a. One who slither in the Crit, got a bit screwed early on but 55% crit minimum on every attack for the last third of the game is a good feeling . N°7 -Lysithea got really fucking screwed Mag and Spd wise before timeskip while gaining so much Lck it was absurd (still strong though) but it seems that the few lvl they gained during the timeskip rectified that a little which was weird (and Lucky) ; still all of her spells are crazy with effectiveness against beast, high res, horses + warp...and with the Gloucester Staff it's kinda stupid. N°1 -Marianne a.k.a. The Crit Goddess, all of her spells having good crit made her useful a lot of times + Physic. N°8 -Hilda was awful (maybe because I changed her from Pegasus to Brigand ? but since I had mastered it and that the Brigand mastery is pretty cool) for like 3/4 of the game. N°10 -Leonie Spd screwed (a little) but Dex and Str blessed, Bow Range +2 is stupid (would have given it to Sniper and not Bow Knight to be honest...). N°5 -Cyril STRONK, no really he's really good. N°6 Final Ranking : Lysithea Raphael Claude Byleth Leonie Cyril Ignatz Marianne Lorenz Hilda

Number of chapters :

Lore reasons basically (for both).

I chose Flayn but since almost all missions are 10 people (chapter 16 at the moment) and I want to use my full house + cyril...well, I just pair her with Byleth. Never liked using Dancer and similar classes anyway.

The level C is effective against Monsters and the B/A are on par with the Black Magic ones (more accuracy but a little less crit or Mt).

Lysithea is really strong, Marianne is a critmage with all of her offensive spells (not counting Nosferatu) having bonus crit and Lorenz learns the two strongest (in Mt) Black Magick spells. I am loving Golden Deer mage's lineup.

I always forget about Magic weapons...Am big dumb.

Looking at the crests...why in the hell does Marianne have a crest that proc Mt when using a weapon.

Let the arrows fly.

WoW, cool. Now I need to know what some of those do. x) Also Edelgard switching to the Dark side seems ominous.

Yeah, so Classes growth rates are really weird and weak...Mortal Savant with -10 in Spd ? So it's not even a good upgrade for Swordmaster/Assassin. I really, really hope that Master Classes aren't the be all, end all.

Both of those are probably because of french. Chercher means to search : Je cherche -> I search. And Lon'Qu, if you pronounce Qu with the same sounding u as in supply, it sound like "cul" (silent l) = ass.

They should have given 1 M/M and 1 F/F in each house. B.E. having 2 F/F and the only M/M while B.L. has 1 F/F and G.D. getting nothing is really weird...

Okay, thank you.

Do we know the average number of units we can take on chapter map (or how many on the last) ? Byleth + full house is 9 and I don't want to get more than necessary from the other houses and have people laying around doing nothing.

Byleth after spreading exp. in every needed stats/skills to recruit everyone :

Knowing this I kind of want to do the Church route first, then side with Edelgard in my second BE playthrough. (Or maybe it's Edelgard that's in the wrong and I'll need to do the Church's side last. 🤔)

And what does this have to do with its inclusion or not in the game ? First, in the game you only do that with friendly people and not stranger on the street, if in real life the two parties are okay with that then it's not a crime. I'm pretty sure it's weird in a lot of countries , but once again game =/= reality.

I really don't care about spoilers at all because I like to be spoil. I think 1 year is a fair amount of time though.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Water_route Look the number of sea routes. If they were not at the same place it would be even worse imo, I don't want to surf every three routes. (I hope that 7G will be boat travels for the main part) Gallade, Sceptile and Audino have abilities that fit Doubles but are not even played in Doubles because those are bad abilities to begin with. Mega are the top of the top, they shouldn't have bad abilities imo, especially when they give broken shit to others.

Seeing Primal Legendaries + Xerneas + Mega-Kang and Mega-Salamence left and right doesn't seem to be really "more viable Pokemon". And I hate that in ORAS they gave some Mega shit talents because of 2V2 : They gave Mega-Gallade Inner Focus because they thought for some reason that it would stop Mega-Kang...fools, and now in some other format he's bad because of that. Same with the poor Mega-Sceptile getting Ligthning Rod with an already impressive x4 resist to Elec... For Megas, imo, Talents are maybe the most important thing, they should all receive something good. Oh yeah, I'm salty. Really hope 7G brings balancing but I don't think so.

No "Both" option for "Sun or Moon" :( Rowlet, but I like all three of them at the moment. (I'll wait final stage for the true choice)

Favorite : Gen 2 because 16 badges and best rival. But I like 4G, 5G and 6G a lot too. Gen 1 is like whatever. Least : Gen 3 because 1. Too much water. (This is serious) 2. Blaziken (It's the only 'mon I hate and that since it's first appearance, also Fuck Game Freak bias for this 'mon, Charizard and Greninja too) 3. So easy it hurts, with the worst gym ever a.k.a. Double is bad and GF should feel bad to make this the official format.

Because some people don't know that games =/= reality, what's even worse is that the people who might be "offended" are not the one playing games imo.
