Moltz23 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) What happens with Edelgard or Hubert's personal battalions (Supreme Armored Co. and Vestra Sorcery Something) in Chapter 12 of CF if they're in a flying class? They're usually equipped automatically once the chapter starts, and while one can assume they're sent to the inventory if they're unable to have it, I have never seen this info documented anywhere.

If Edelgard was in a flying class before the Ch 11 battle, then in the Ch 12 camp she won't have any battalion equipped IIRC, and SA Co will be in your inventory. Haven't run Hubert in a flying class before though, so can't confirm with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruruo Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 @Azure loves his Half Elves Thank you for the feedback! It's is much appreciated, as I'm not too familiar with using the VW students. (I usually let Claude keep his buddies on most runs, as I like seeing them on maps). How does this line up sound? Dunno if it's too many archers and mages? M!Byleth: Soldier > Brawler > Grappler > War Master/(Wyvern Lord) That's pretty cool for skills to be transferable! I definitely want to master War Master to unlock QR to possibly play around with on other runs. I can buy back decent weapon levels for Lance and Flying from the previous run (Falcon Knight F!Byleth), War Master gives him axes, so I think unlocking both classes is feasible if I'm in need of another flier. Claude: Soldier > Brigand > Archer > Wyvern Rider/Master (?) > Barbarossa / (Sniper?) Dipping into Soldier to pick up reposition. Will rank up on flying for Alert stance+, I think, if it's worth it. Any chance to keep Sniper as a option open for HV on Claude or is keeping to Barbarossa better? Hilda: Gonna go the Wyvern route then, and maybe also pick up Hit +20. ngl I think it's more likely I'd adjunct her to Claude in part 2. Marianne: Monk > Mage > Bishop > Valkyrie > Dark Knight Dark Knight it is! Ignatz: With Raphael Adjunct} Soldier > Brigand > Archer > (Dark Mage?) > Sniper > Bow Knight Sounds good, Sniper/Bow Knight it is! I've read about dipping into Dark mage for Poison strike. Would it be worth it? Lorenz: Monk > Mage > Warlock/Paladin ? > Dark Knight Alright, I'll go down the DK line like Marianne (minus Valkyrie) but if his stats screws up as badly as his hair, he'll be dancing. Would it be better for him to drop into Paladin or Warlock for an advanced class? Leonie: Soldier > Brigand > Peg Knight > Wyvern Rider > Falcon Knight. Yeah that sounds great! I can do the Falcon Knight option, with bow access. I did it for my F!Byleth in the previous run, and yeah, it's really good! Lythesia: Usual Germory/Valkyrie Linhardt: Bishop Ferdie: Swift Strikes - Wyvern Balthus: Grappler/War Master Yuri: Soldier > Brigand > Archer > Sniper (Constance:) Mage > Peg Knight > Dark Flier/Germory (ngl I kinda worry about Dark Flier's lack of magic growth bonus as I think it screwed up Annette on a run, where she only had about 30 mag at lv 45) (Dorothea:) Dancer, unless Lorenz screws up. Constance and Dorothea are backs up picks in case I'm not using Hilda or dancing Lorenz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be worth it? I've run both Sniper Ignatz and Sniper Hanneman with this build. It's quite fun, but beyond against monsters and a couple of the tougher bosses, it doesn't give much of an advantage (because HV tends to kill everything). 14 hours ago, ruruo said: Would it be better for him to drop into Paladin or Warlock for an advanced class? If you can do both, that would be nice. But I'd say start in Warlock - Lorenz needs all the mag help he can get if you do plan on using him. 14 hours ago, ruruo said: Any chance to keep Sniper as a option open for HV on Claude or is keeping to Barbarossa better? You've already got a sniper, and Barbarossa is probably the best class in the game. Stick to it unless you were planning to experiment with Claude anyway. 14 hours ago, ruruo said: How does this line up sound? Dunno if it's too many archers and mages? Looks pretty good to me. Nobody seems built to be a tank (either through defense or avoid) - it isn't necessary to have, but just a heads up. VW as a route is the best for bows, so your number of archers isn't bad at all, and I think you're fine on the mage front too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might still get it to play around with, but not hold too much expectation for it. Quote If you can do both, that would be nice. But I'd say start in Warlock - Lorenz needs all the mag help he can get if you do plan on using him. Will do~ I just hope he turns out useable. With Lorenz, he's so balanced I'm just unsure what his role is going to look like if I build him as a DK. I feel at best he's going to end up doing is chip damage, back up healing, and carrying a support battalion. Quote Looks pretty good to me.

VW as a route is the best for bows, so your number of archers isn't bad at all, and I think you're fine on the mage front too. Sounds good then, in that case I think it should be ok. There's Wyvern Ferdinand, and I'm expecting Leonie to get pretty fast too, so hopefully it'll work out. With M!Byleth I was thinking of playing around with a EP build later using QR+Alert stance+Fist Avo+Avo Battalion (+retribution). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got boons in the skills needed for it, as opposed to Wyvern Lord, where he'd have to put a lot of work in two neutrals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToP Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Does beating the Cindered Shadows side story on Hard give you any extra benefits over beating it on Normal? I assume no, but the difficulty jump seems significant enough to warrant such a thing. The difficulty looks so...... daunting, right from the very start, just by looking at enemy stats and weapons. If there's no extra reward for beating it on Hard, then I'm going to turn it down to Normal, just because I don't think I'll enjoy playing it on Hard, even if I can beat it.

I don't think there is, but if there were one, it would be the amount of renown you receive in the main game for the DLC clear. I haven't cleared the DLC on Normal, so I can't confirm whether this is the case, but yeah, I doubt there are any extra benefits. IIRC you get 10,000 renown in the main game for a DLC Hard clear. Perhaps someone else on the forum can confirm what you get from a Normal clear. Edited October 2, 2020 by haarhaarhaar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these like endgame maps or can I do them whenever (early game)? The exact level differs based on difficulty- on Maddening they were like 7 or so levels above my units. The levels scale up like normal aux battles, so you can do them from the beginning of the game and be fine, and they get stronger as the game goes on so you can continuously use them to grind even until the end. Also, in case you’re curious, here’s the list of which aux battles give which stat boosters. I think it’s mostly accurate, but I didn’t go out of my way to test any maps other than the forest and Conand Tower. Plains: Charm. Savescumming for a different booster seems to only yield a bullion iirc. Forest: Defence and Resistance Lake Teutates: I believe this one is Dex and Luck Conand Tower: HP and Speed Meaning the 5th battle, which I’m pretty sure exists but can’t remember what it is, gives strength and magic. In my experience those last 2 battles didn’t show up at all until a certain point in the game, so that might be worth noting Edited October 2, 2020 by Anathaco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I haven’t worked out. I know that only one is ever available at a time. It seems to be completely random, so you can potentially play the same map three times in a week, or you can do 3 different ones. I have heard that it’s determined at the beginning of the week, so you can save after finishing the last week, go through the week, and see if you get the map you want- if not, reset and do the week again.
