  1. Xander doesn't want ninja at all in Lunatic, but he sure as hell wants a Ninja wife. 20 base speed on pair up means he is safe from doubling for a large portion of the game and can double non-Wary Fighter Knights/Generals. And thankfully the enemies in Lunatic can actually hurt him, so he's good at being the wall he's meant to be. The +1 movement is also what he wants. If you're willing to make your Corrin Xander's pair up for a good portion of the game, go right ahead, because it's pretty fantastic.

  2. I mostly just want to run Samurai to give it to Xander--though does he really reach that level of defense where enemies tink and ignore him on Lunatic? But I kinda wanna do Vantage on him for the same reason that it's good on Ryoma.

    Xander isn't the unkillable wall he was in easier versions of Nohr. But thankfully he's still immune to doubling in speedy pair up. Giving him samurai outside of revelations is probably one of the better choices in case you marry him, but it just makes his speed growth 55% and he loses move out of it. He'll be fragile enough to send into enemies waves, and with stat boosters he'll make your efforts worth it. But don't forget one of the hardest aspects of Lunatic is the skills, and counter is a bitch, along with snake venom.

    You ARE playing Birthright, correct? Is it available in Birthright?

    You can get cavalier if you A rank Silas as a male or marry him as a female regardless of route.

  3. Let's look at Takumi. He joins in chapter 11 if I remember right, with 29 attack, pretty much able to one shot everyone in his join chapter. He also has the Fujin Yumi, which allows him to traverse the area he joins on effortlessly, which is full of trees lowering your movement. This is what makes him better than Ryan or Gordin in 12. Both are archers, and they have movement issues, even with chapter one availability. Takumi says fuck that and snipes everyone in OHKO fashion.

    However, we have heavy competition for "the best". Takumi has a low base speed. Shinon doesn't have speed issues, ever. Takumi only caps Skl on average. Shinon caps skill, speed, and defense, and has BEXP access to cap all the other stats. Takumi has free range access outside of bottomless areas. Shinon has the double bow which fixes his one issue which is 1-3 range access, and it gives him a STR boost. Even outside of that, Shinon has crossbow access, in case he really needs to deal with enemies up close. Takumi doesn't until whenever Proximity Shot becomes available in DLC. Shinon has Chapter 1 availability in Part 3 RD. Takumi comes a bit later, though it isn't as big of an issue. Takumi has flying mount access, but it's virtually pointless since he has free range anyway. Shinon is just 7 levels away from having 3 range. Hell, if Takumi didn't have a legendary bow, he wouldnt be as godly as people say he is. Shinon also has brave bow access as well. He doesn't even need to get hurt fighting enemies like Dheginsea because 3 range kicks in.

    All in all, Shinon is just a god with a bow in RD. He's everything you could want in an archer in a game where archers got a lot of love. And with BEXP, Takumi has too little in comparison. He rivals Faval for one of the best archers ever.

  4. I need to read the full support, but NilesxCamilla has been altered. Zero confesses just like in the Japanese, but Camilla doesn't say the admittedly cheesy "Did you really stop being a thief? Because you stole my heart." Also whereas Camilla openly admits to liking Niles' dirty whispering, in which he does so at the end of the S, that too was changed.

    '''Niles''':
    Come over here. I'll whisper more of these naughty, little words in your ear.

    '''Camilla''':
    Niles!

    '''Niles''':
    Was that too much?

  5. Kiragi x Soleil ends with them saying "Friends forever."

    I dont understand what was the point of making all her supports platonic. I could get behind Kana if I really try (Third gen Kanna has limitless incest potential and it makes anyone they marry very weird like Morgan could.) but Soleil is clearly Bi, or has some sort of attraction to men. Hell, in the Japanese, she falls for the guys like no one's business.

    This is pretty low. Like, pretty freaking low IMO. It's the worst. I can't wait to hear the S rank music play while they blush as Soleil friendzones everyone.

  6. They shortened Laslow/Azura's S rank a bit. She seems much more !? than in the previous version. They also don't express their emotions in dance and song SOB

    As for Hinata/Hana....

    12767244_1681200505495292_888295954_n.jp

    In the English: ""if a guy treats me differently because I'm a girl... it really, really bothers me."

    IDK this bugs me a bit. But I still love it, and an overall improvement.

    Kanna's platonic S ranks is most likely to avoid 3rd gen incest shenanigans like Morgan could.

  7. Bolded relevant words. This is low HP Emblem so an extra +10 damage can be the difference between surviving an attack and getting one shotted. It might work for some characters (Ryoma seems like a good candidate) but I think it's a pretty big risk.

    Hinata and anyone who has Extravagance makes great use out of Line of Death. Vantage isn't that great outside of magic users, since low HP and low skill caps have made Vengeance much less useful in comparison to Awakening.

  8. Kana has barely enough speed to work with Orochi being her mom, and having a +MAG Corrin cancels out her speed mod. Going Dark Mage!Corrin will basically turn Orochi into an even slower version of Effie who nukes all in her way as a Dark Knight. Or you could go dark mage and her pair up stats will contribute greatly to yours.

  9. What do you think of Xander!Kana? It's non-negotiable that I intend to breed with him on my Revelations and Conquest playthroughs, but I'm unsure how to flesh out my avatar for this. Would it be best to focus on optimizing my avatar and Xander, or our potential children (as in, which have more potential in this arrangement, and which are better units)? I'm thinking a +Spd, -Def avatar with Samurai as my secondary, but this could easily be subject to change. Do you have any recommendations or comments?

    Xander!Kana's Nohr Prince growths: HP: 53% STR: 58% MAG: 28% SKL: 50% SPD: 50% LUK: 63% DEF: 43% RES: 25%

    They will have Nohr Prince, Samurai, and Cavalier. With a +SPD/-DEF Corrin, that's STR 3, MAG 0, SKL 2, SPD 4, LUK 3, DEF -1, and Res -2.

    As far as optimizing goes, both Xander and Corrin are practically must haves. Don't worry too much on the kids as with Xander and Corrin for parents, they will be good regardless.

  10. Well Rhatja has pretty insane speed as well as having a fast dad. Orochi does slow her down a bit, but on promotion she'll be in the 50's and you'll forget about it. It's all a matter of preference. One of the few kids who can handle Orochi as a mom.

  11. Pick your Rhatja:

    Mother is Sakura - Diviner, Priestess, Oni Savage

    Recruited class Growths: HP: 43/STR: 28/MAG: 70/SKL: 35/SPD: 60/LUK: 48/DEF: 28/RES: 38

    Modifiers - (STR: 1/MAG: 4/SKL: -1/SPD: 4/LUK: 2/DEF: -1/RES: 0)


    Mother is Orochi - Dviner, Oni Savage, Herb Merchant

    Recruited class Growths: HP: 38/STR: 15/MAG:78/SKL: 40/SPD: 48/LUK: 38/DEF:25/RES: 50

    Modifiers - (STR: 1/MAG: 5/SKL: 2/SPD: 1/LUK: 1/DEF: -2/RES: 1)
