Are enemy growths affected by difficulty mode?

[Rodykitty]

And if so, can somebody tell me what they look like? Preferably H3 if possible.

Unless this is different to earlier games, I don't think so. The enemy gets a certain number of bonus levels on harder difficulties - on FE7, for example, they get 5 levels worth of growth automatically (so 11/-- enemies have the stats of 16/-- enemies on Normal mode). I think I remember noticing this on this game, it's about 6 levels on H3 IIRC.

That helps me. Thanks.

Mode / Hidden Level ups* / Minimum weapon rank

H1 / 3, 4, 5 / C

H2 / 6, 8, 10 / C

H3 / 9, 12, 15 / B

H4 / 12, 16, 20 / B

H5 / 15, 20, 25 / A

* Early, mid, end-game

I forgot exactly what defines those three parts. I know all the Gaiden chapters use the early-game numbers and I seem to remember that end-game only counts the Gharnef and Medeus chapters.

Woah... 25 levels? That's insane! And actually, fighting the equivalent of 16/-- enemies from chapter 1 is pretty crazy too.

Depends on the enemy. Manaketes get the most insane growth boosts though, and even +10 levels on a Manakete is enough for it to cap speed. Lowest boosts are on Hunters, with their laughable 10%STR/30%SPD/10%DEF.

Fighters with their 90% HP, 50% def are also fearsome. Too bad they stop existing past like chapter 4.

Enemies have different growth rates? News to me!

Now I really don't want to see a Chapter 10 Fighter...

I see why they were "discontinued".

50% str growth and one of the higher AS ratings (due to such a high base) too.
