This game is a big improvement over Three Houses, all things considered. While 3H eventually turns into a slog with the Calendar system and is boring to replay on different routes, Engage actively wants me to replay it with how much you can change shit up with its ring mechanics and large amounts of playable units. Plus it’s just SO much more satisfying to beat a map in Engage than Three Houses. And while 3H does have a better story and cast of characters, I think that Engage’s cast is a lot better than people give it credit for and

It just feels weird to me seeing people suddenly have standards for FE plot and characters when Engage is 100% in line with the GBA and 3DS games. Is everyone a Three Houses newbie?
>in-line with the other games from the same writer that were shit
Hmm
>Is everyone a Three Houses newbie?
Yes.
And also people that have no idea what the difference between good writing and fanmongering is.
>when Engage is 100% in line with the GBA and 3DS games
Most people don't want that anymore. They want more mature stories like Three Houses, Thracia and Genealogy.
I'm an oldgay and one of the things I liked about 3H was that it shitcanned all of the self-parody and irony of the Fateswakening era and tried to tell a serious story again.
>They want more mature stories
Imagine typing this unironically.
Imagine saying a franchise always has shit stories when you've played like two games from it. The tone of the Jugdral, Tellius and Fodlan games is better than Fateswakening quipshit.
I don't need to imagine factual statements. I know them because I'm not an idiot pretending vidya stories that are made for children is quality.

That random little girl that was obviously back stab you infuriates me to no end
3H doesn't have a mature story. The backstory is decent but most things that happen in-game are just as silly as the 3DS-era games.
I've never cared for the plot in fe games aside from PoR. Good characters are a must though, and Engage sadly has very few of them.
Engage being in line with the 3DS games is an issue.
Though it has significantly better map design than any of the 3DS entries and Three Houses except for Conquest.
If anything I think its more of its own thing.
Its inline with the GBA games, but is tonally fairly different and arguably more honest about its simplicity. The GBA games had a layer of serious fantasy, how people talked and how info of the region is monologue. When you break it down everything is simple as shit but appearances matter. Framing also plays a role. You forgive silliness in the GBA games cause it could only do so much, when really the same issues like character just walking up to the enemy to talk and then teleporting across the map still happen.
Engage makes mistakes with its first impression and lack of fluff to trick people. If Alear was didn't look like that, the game opened in Brodia and there was a monologue about politics between each chapter. A lot of story complaints would disappear despite the plot not improving.
that is a pretty decent post, mind if i save it?
This isn't reddit homosexual, you don't need to ask.

oops
>GBA
Why does everyone think that's a good comparison to make? The GBA games were shit story wise too, people just didn't have standards there because of the hardware.
Cause people still like them and rarely rip into their stories even if they acknowledge they aren't deep. This includes people who only played them recently or after getting into one of the modern titles. That establishes a general base line of what people are okay. People are in fact okay with simple and even at times silly stories. Which is a counter to the idea FE has to be some GoT shit, very serious and dry is just one tone FE can take.
b***h who are these people, normies haven't played anything aside from Three Houses and potentially Engage.
I have standards because I played PoR.
Engage is okay though.
I actually can't believe people like Engage's story. The GBA plots were NOWHERE this bad
Engage's story is generic. But what I really cant stand is the immersion break I feel from every cutscene where characters are portrayed as literally 4ft from eachother, and then one "runs away" or the custcene changes and they are 100ft away.
Or shit like Veyle stealing shit off camera, or Zelkov stealing shit from a giga powered up Veyle and just a multitide of fricking nonsense like that and it seems to get worse the further you go into the story. Chapter 17 was so fricking moronic in this way cutscene wise.
>Generic
It's low effort. Generic stories can be good
Too bas FE stories were never good then.
>Is everyone a Three Houses newbie?
You would be very surprised, that's kind of what happens when a game in the series sells really well, it sells to people who don't ordinarily buy the games, this was also the case with awakening babies.
Will Engage do as good a job as Fates did to cull the normies?
It already did.
Fates didn't cull shit. 3H was the best selling FE ever.
not because of fates' reputation though. because it was an anime high school game.
Fates was the best selling fe before 3h.
Fates was too hard for normalgays even on Hard. And was unbashly sexualized. 3H appeal to cancerous trannies riding off the wave of stuff like Persona 5, while not focusing on the gameplay at all while any braindead moron could play through Maddening without effort.
Fates was moronic with its sexualization tho.
The female "armor" knight having literal panty shots is one of the dumbest outfits that's ever been in an FE game.
As much as I like Camilla's design for the coom factor, it REALLY does not fit her personality at all.
Still better than most of awakening classes design.
The game is doing its job of culling the normalgays.
The plots were never good. But just like any of the Xenoblade or Tales of games; I can only handle so much nonsensical annoying anime diarrhea before I blow my brains out. The best Fire Emblem is maybe a 7/10. I think I'm being too generous here.

Lycia isn’t a monarchy until the end of FE6
So what you're saying is that Roy is such a monarchist that he invented a Lycian Monarchy just to make himself king? Based.
Politics and especially political labels are cringe

Skirmishes are too hard to lvl low level characters
Sorry I can’t hear you over the billion flying units crawling up my ass
The game throws overpowered prepromotes at you and it seems the best strat is to just use them since they also come with SP which is fricking awful to grind for on low level/earlygame units.
That's my biggest issue with this game. Players aren't rewarded for using early game units and keeping them alive. No matter what they'll be inferior to new units you get
Maybe on maddening, but I've been using Chloe, Framme, Celine, etc, and doing just fine. Chloe and Celine in particular are war goddesses.
You sound like a little b***h bro. Legitimately the only unit that just straight outclasses others is Kagetsu but that's cause he has superior Nipponese genes.
Early units like Citrinne, Louis and even meme tier ones like Anna and Jean can easily contribute even to endgame on Maddening.
I just finished chapter 13 and had to laugh when
>Fogado and his two cronies, he's level 17 with 1200 SP
>His sister and her two waifus join one chapter later, she's level 18 and comes with a full 1500 SP
like shit i have characters i've been using since super early on like Chloe who are still at only like 1250 SP. My Yunaka just hit 1500 herself and she's like my most used unit aside from Alear.
you're not supposed to use those low level units anymore
3h had the better plot (which really doesnt say much)
It also had the better Lords
Engage is better in every other way, especially in gameplay.
There's too many lord's in this game. The lords of Engage feel like a group of Claude's instead of the kino of Edelgard and Dimitri unfortunately.
Engage has better villains though imo. 4 Hounds > Slitheryn
It has trannies in it
Easily the best FE since Conquest and New Mystery. Glad 3H is dead and buried and all the storycucks can now commit mass suicide since kino is back on the menu.
Also, Framme is made for rape.
>Glad 3H is dead and buried
But Engagegays literally can't stop talking about 3H. Literally every thread you trannies make starts off with crying about 3H.
Nice schizo babble, but OP brought up 3H. I was simply agreeing with him. We simply laugh whenever 3HrTrannies pretend their poorly written VN is on par with a proper video game in these threads.
>have to pick fights with 3H fans just to keep their dead threads alive
Sad!
>Pretends he doesnt just post in all Engage threads to shitpost anyway
Sadder.
Garbage art style. Same sex romance. Atrocious localization. Shitty writing. Only troons enjoyed this game, honestly. Although 3H may not be the top FE game, it's way better than Engage and I am relieved to see it fail and fade into obscurity. Twitter only discusses games without playing or purchasing them. Design the game for those who will actually purchase it next time, tards.
>Same sex romance. Atrocious localization. Shitty writing
But enough about Three Houses
How is Micaiah not in jail yet?
Engage is a forgettable kusoge
The game is fun but the Somniel stuff gets too intrusive by the time wyvern riding unlocks. Yes I am aware most of it isn’t mandatory
All I do at the Somniel at this point is feed and pet Sommie, arena battles, pick up the dog’s ingots, and fish. If you’re lucky with the fish you can get 500 bond fragments from one and it’s a lot faster than wyvern riding.
I pretty much only buy/refine my stuff and leave. The stat boosts from eating and training are nice, but I don't care to do it after every battle.
Fates and Awakening and their quirky anime tone were a disaster for the Fire Emblem franchise which previously took itself seriously. I'm glad to see Engage getting shit for the same thing, it means the average nuFE fan has realised the narrative that the games always have to have shit writing like the 3DS era isn't true and was never true for most of the 12 pre-Awakening games. Frick otakus, FE is a Westboro franchise.
*Westaboo
The only classic FE I played was FE7 and the plot is very silly as well, I don't know how you could take that game overly seriously.
The GBA era had lighter tones to the rest of the series too.
Sacred Stones was actually pretty dark, funny enough.
Not really outside of lyon
And everything about Orson
So you're saying some titles have lighter tones and some have darker tones?
>Fire Emblem franchise which previously took itself seriously
lmao, lol
I agree with you, but that line is fanfiction by the fan translator, like a lot of FE fan translations.
>fan translation that isn't pozzed
That's rare.
Making up random shit that wasn't in the script sounds pretty pozzed to me.
It's only bad when it changes the lore like in the FE5 and Kaga Saga games and introduces censorship.
I can't see the Kaga Saga games post-Thracia as part of Fire Emblem, now that I know more about Kaga's deliberate mismarketing and how he potentially could also have gotten sued by the RoLW people too.
>and how he potentially could also have gotten sued by the RoLW people too.
What.
Tf are you talking about
Engage just has so much soul. Imagine being in a meeting room with people in suits and you pitch the idea
"So in this game you will summon past Fire Emblem characters like stands and you can fuse with them to give your character super broken ability"
The normies will cringe while the true game enjoyers will love it. Sometime you don't need a coherent story or good world building, you just need cool shit everyone love like dinosaurs, giant robots and stands
Anyone know of any artists open for commission?
Unfortunately I don't, but I'm waiting and watching.
I can fix her. My dick has worked miracles before
If the datamine and theories are correct, we'll be able to play with an alternate version of her at least in the DLC.
My dick demands it
Otherwise I'll just commission art and write my own kink smut for her.
You should do that anyway
That was always the plan in the end.
Still continue with the commissions anon I need more of art of her, and because we don't even know how she will look in the dlc.
Once I find a good artist up I'll probably get something done of her.
And once I get a breather I'll write up something myself.

>Byleth's wasn't too bad
>tfw when I check out Lyn and Ike
Lyn's was very easy to me, I don't know what people thought was hard about it.
Now Sigurd's was a nightmare because of those 2 mages who can one shot almost anyone, although Sigurd himself was a pushover.
I don't want to deal with that many Bow Knights at the moment. Especially not with how dispersed throughout the map your units are.
Julius and Ishtar won’t aggro you unless you step in range so you don’t even have to fight them. You also only get about 2000 gold if you do beat them, which isn’t worth the hassle.
>Lyn's was very easy to me, I don't know what people thought was hard about it.
I don't know either. My only guess is people turtled and got overwhelmed by all the tent's reinforcements.
Depends when you do it. When I unlocked it, my two archers with silver bow+1 couldn't one shot a flyer. Lack of damage was the number 1 reason I couldn't do the map when I unlocked it
Lyn's difficulty revolved around the fact that you basically only have 1 ring at the time her paralogue comes up and the fact that she can snipe you from halfway across the map every other turn
Ike wasn't so hard once you figured out you can bait him into going to the right instead of breaking down the wall and then fricking him up with magic when he's in range
the trick to lyn is having someone with enough defense to tank all of the left side bowknights, but not too much that they ignore you
I had just the right amount so that they would attack into louis until resolve activated, then they ignored him. He also had the perfect amount so that lyn ignored him too, then once she was getting toward the center of the map he drank a vuln so she turned around to try and hit him with her sword. I got her to the top center of the map before she got close enough to someone to trigger a combat (which is what causes the reinforcements to spawn) so it was easy to kill her by herself.
Bros what do I do withh Jade?
bench, she kinda sucks
Give her ike
Ike or Edeltard will help her tank.

>Playable FE4 emperors never ever

By having maps full of stupid gimmicks, dumb mechanics like fatigue, and shit you'd never see coming the first run without clairvoyance.
Worst Kaga game of all time, TRS was way better.
>By having maps full of stupid gimmicks
strategy game
>dumb mechanics like fatigue
almost non-issue and it's made to keep shitters like you from using the same broken units every battle
Map gimmicks are a good thing, but fatigue sucks simply because the mechanic itself is worthless when you have inventory stocked full of stamina potions. The idea itself isn't bad, Kaga just fricked up the balance.
Less gimmicky than Engay Rings.
Thracia was absolutely miserable to play blind. I'd probably enjoy it more on a second playthrough with the knowledge I have now, but some of the maps have absolutely dickish pitfalls that you have no way of possibly knowing about without a guide. Especially that last gaiden chapter with the teleporting floors that have no indicators whatsoever. Frick that.
Unironically focusing on the gameplay instead of making an ambitious story was the right choice here. Engage is keeping me engaged both on the maps and on the stuff in-between and I am not experiencing the burnout I did with 3H and Hopes.
Goldmary reminds me of Dorothea in that I want to simultaneously slap the shit out of her and frick the shit out of her

Ike's ring is big enough to be a wiener ring
So how does poison work exactly? From what I understand it means an enemy will take +1 damage every time a unit attacks with a max of +3 damage. But if that's the case that means it's good early game, but not so much late game. Is it not percentage based?
it's flat damage. Note that it ignores defense so if you do 0 damage poison will still do the full 1-3 depending on the stacks.
It's mostly only good for super high defense targets or for bosses who have multiple hp bars.
Every round of combat where daggers deal damage apply a stack of poison. 1 stack is +1 damage, 2 is +3, and 3 is +5. Poison won’t go away over time and must be removed so it can make your tanks weaker (if they ever take damage from a dagger somehow).
Does claude's poison gambit stack with daggers to apply 2 stacks?
also fire >>> Poison for solving the high def problem, shame it can't kill though
Is Corrin the best emblem for Yunaka?
>dragon veil synergizes with covert passive so she can dodge tank
>draconic hex, poison, and dreadful aura all stack and apply easily with knives
>good movement and pass to dragon vein or attack wherever needed
>HP bonuses fix her squishiness
I haven't even checked what the other dragon veil effects are once I saw how good the fog is
On maddening enemies won't attack into her if they have 0% chance to hit but the fog is still has a move cost of 2 so she can wall off an area safely. And like you said even if she gets a bunch of support debuffs so her damage isn't too important to worry about.
Yes, Corrin is bonkers on Thieves. I'm using it on Zelkov. The only issue is action economy as you end up needing to Dragon Vein a lot instead of attacking.
I like having Corrin on Merrin because the water tiles slow down enemy movement and it lowers avoid which is really useful on dodgier enemies
I thought about that but I use Merrin on offense too much with her ability to hit both physical and magical enemies at range. Plus if I really need the water tile, torrential roar does the trick already.
I hate how much I've ended up liking this furry dork
Corrin is by far the most interesting emblem. Fog is probably the best, but ice is really good for staggering enemy approaches and making artificial chokepoints to set up big damage with Sigurd. The healing field is also nice for keeping everyone topped off while being aggressive for things like the hero ability that lets them double in chain attacks at full health or or chain guard without needing to spend action economy on healing during player phase.
She's really good on Yunaka, but I'm keeping her on Alear just for all the utility.

Clanne and Framme want to spread awareness of the Divine Dragon, so they're distributing pamphlets loaded with fun facts about her!
It includes info like favorite foods, favorite weapons, favorite animal, shoe size, three sizes, most common panties, masturbatory habits, current pubic hair status, nipple diameter, usual time of the month...
...We regret to inform you that by decree of the Divine Dragon, they will not be allowed to create any more pamphlets. However, you're free to take one of the already-made ones if you wish.

>This game is a big improvement over Three Houses
i have mixed feelings, i loved the socials in 3 houses but the combat was meh.

Leveling in this game is kinda fricked since units that fall behind pretty much are fricked since it a race against skirmishes spawning with silver weps and promotes leaving people who get some bad levels or no levels fricked and unusable besides like staff b***h. It's pretty fricking bad and it's like even in older games you could arena cheese or something at least.
This is pretty badly designed from that stand point.
>using the arena
Sometimes you get stat screwed on levels and want to use someone dude. That's the whole point I'm making and with Bld it's much much worst
No, it's normally not this bad.
>Bld
I fricking hate they brought back this fricking shit and made it rng now, it use to be con and now it's rng if you get enough to make a unit useful
Speed is more important than build. You gain nothing by having more build than what's required for the weapon you're wielding
Some people literally wont get enough to wield what they they need
Explain to me why a book has a weight of 16
It doesn't matter if you get weighed down if you also have a ton of speed. That's why Chloe is still really good. Similarly, having high build won't help if you're slow as shit, anyways. Louis is still getting doubled
>It doesn't matter if you get weighed down if you also have a ton of speed.
Not that anon but that's only sorta true. By the end game you can actually get fricked on even with capped speed if your build is too low since most of the enemies will no longer get doubled if you choose to use a "strong" weapon.
Strong in quotes because everyone knows the best weapons in the game are Killer weapons with crit engraves.
>Brave weapons with crit engraves.
Fixed that for you
Brave Weapons are cool but weigh too much to get the sexy x4 on anything other than the slowest enemies. They also come in later than Killer weapons which never lose practicality.
>Explain to me why a book has a weight of 16
homie you ever tried summoning a fireball?
your fault for using w*men and children in your army lmao
It's literally just a second speed stat or if you luck into getting shove.
Just inherit build +3 from Leif, it's only 500 SP.
>Just inherit build +3 from Leif, it's only 500 SP.
That's such as waste of a fricking slot that have to do this so fricking much.
It's only worth it on one or two characters who really need it. Speed +3 is the same price and is exclusively better than build +3
Nice balance engagetards
When will some based autist make a hack like the pokemon ones that rebalance the entire game and makes the DLC rings non moron tier?
Honestly the Tiki ring should be broken as frick considering what she is. It turns you into a fricking Divine dragon
Just wait for the Hector and Camilla Emblems where they will have FEH broken levels of bullshit. Hector will probably have 3H quick Riposte, Distant Counter, and the ability to attack first with smash weapons.
Honestly the Hector ring should be broken as frick considering what he is. It turns you into a fricking helicopter
Or you could inherit +3 speed from Lyn and get the same result plus better.
It's not comparable to Weight -3 and Speed +2 from Three Houses since they're learned in different ways. Speed +2 will always be better than Weight -3 but not everyone should master mercenary to learn Speed +2.
I trained Anna from base starting at chapter 19 on Madening without even using skirmishes or the arena
Is this your first Fire Emblem game? The point of random growths is so you use different units for playthroughs and sometimes get woefully shitty or blessed by the gods ubermensch to make each playthrough feel memorable.
You can always play Maddening if you don't want random chance affecting your characters.
It's desgined with Classic mode in mind, if your early units die you won't be fricked for the rest of the game.
The game gives you new units all the way to the last few chapters.
>units that fall behind pretty much are fricked
just pay $30 for tiki bro
That's just how FE works. You have to make choices about which units you'll be focusing on, who gets the XP and that some units will die possibly leaving you stuck. The problem is more modern FE has incentivised and allowed you to keep everyone alive so easily. Even though Engage is still designed around the idea that later units have better starting stats so they can fill the role you lost easily.
Basically the series needs to come to terms with all this and find uses for bigger unit pools. Not just make grinding easier so everyone is level 20 for the next 8 deploy map.
>You have to make choices about which units you'll be focusing on, who gets the XP
Virtually every early game unit gets completely outclassed by a later recruit so even this isn't true. No one is going to be talking about strategy in this game in like a month because the good units are miles ahead of everyone else so everyone will just use them and build them the same way. 3H and Conquest didn't have that problem.
Prepromotes past chapter 16 aren't really that good. They're best reclassed in to heroes and dual assist+ bots thanks to the insane amount of starting SP they get for some dumb reason. Feet Dragon Princess is an alternate user of Byleth.
Yeah it's just not true for the last few chapters so completely invalid point.
Good units may just be better but you can still make the early game units work. Clanne has been a very good mage knight with the Corrin emblem for 6 move draconic hexes and canter, Anna doubles everything with Lyn and can actually do damage with the radiant bow in astra storm due to her magic, and Jean is a staff bot.
Clanne is not good long-term as any magic class. His personal magic growth is literally 10
His low magic is patched up by mage and mage knight’s 25% growth, Corrin giving an extra 4 magic at max bond, and a bolganone tome. Like I said there are some units that are just better than others but the idea that you can’t make early units work isn’t true.
You cannot be playing on maddening if you believe an effective 35% magic growth is cutting it for a mage knight lmao
You can make Clanne work in a magical class. Are other units better? Yes, but he can still do the job.
It's really not that bad. The main issue is the exp cut on Maddening, so you can only realistically allow a couple of units to keep up. The early units have the advantage of access to Canter and/or Marth's skills too.
Really, it's just Framme and Vander that seem like they really have no point.
For whatever reason, skirmishes in DLC land seem easier. Don't know if it's an oversight or if it's intended as a selling point of the DLC. They didn't advertise it anywhere though.
If you already know about the spoiler you can make preparations around it though. It's really only Tome proficiency for the middle game characters that's kind of fricked.
>The main issue is the exp cut on Maddening, so you can only realistically allow a couple of units to keep up
I've literally had to pull units off of the bench for certain paralogues because the exp decay was so bad for my stronger units. EXP is way more available than people like to admit
>Virtually every early game unit gets completely outclassed by a later recruit
Yet some don't, so you have to decide to keep a unit you invested in or let go of that wasted XP. Yunaka vs Zelkov is already a heated debate. Then you get some people saying largely dropped units like Alfred are actually fairly good so you shouldn't drop them.
Plus in this case pre-Ch10 units got to invest in skills others won't have access to for a while.
The early game units that get outclassed are very overblown. The only ones I can think that are legitimately outclassed are Boucheron, Etie, Jeanne, Vander, and Lapis. Clanne and Anna are bad if you leave them in their base classes but turn out pretty nice if reclassed.
There are no bad early game units. This is no longer the GBA/Tellius days where everyone is stuck with their starting setups.
Yeah 3H had the problem of barely having strategy at all.
If you have the DLC, skirmishes that spawn on the Tiki map are oddly much weaker than those that spawn on the world map. You can also deploy a full 14 units there. Great for building supports and leveling up weaker units. There's no reason to not buy Royal Lineage from Emblem Edelgard for 150 sp since it pays itself off within 2 levels.
I can't stand quality of life standards put behind a paywall but gacha fricks bought the stupid FEH pass so Nintendo think it's okay to do it for console FE now.
Don't worry, grind DLC soon. Then you'll have all the SP, Gold and EXP that you could want.

Ike talking to literally anyone in this game is great. They all talk to him like he's super famous and he seems to hate it.
Goldmary is such a massive bawd
if you can believe it, the English version is toned down too lmao
Please tell me more
Goldmary needs to be mating pressed by the Divine Dragon.
The divine dragon’s seed should only grace those of the highest pedigrees, like royalty, not wasted on the likes of her
>They all talk to him like he's super famous and he seems to hate it.
Which actually sounds how Ike would react to it
I know, it's why it's great. He also threatens to a guys alpacas
>martial units refuse to gain str
>magic units refuse to gain mag
Every fricking level why
>Anna has shit strength, amazing magic
>Chloe has better magic than strength
>Clanne has good strength, shit magic
>Celine has better strength than half the roster
What did they mean by this?
use Levin Sword/Flame Lance/Mage Knight homo
Where is the flame lance? The only magic weapons I have are one levin sword and one hurricane axe.
You can foge a steel lance to get it early, but an enemy drops one eventually and you can also buy it at around that same time. Fair warning - it sucks compared to the levin sword
Is it melee only? I just want my griffin knight Chloe to have a source of magic damage.
It does deal magic damage, yes. It's outrageously heavy though, so Chloe won't be doubling with it very often for quite a while. It's better to promote Chloe to a sword griffin and just use the levin sword
it's 1-2 range but the MT is fairly low, 10-15 and it's 16 weight
has better strength than half the roster
To be fair at the very least she can use it with her special class
Celine should be ripped. Her class is explicitly both mag/str based. You're supposed to switch the weapon depending on the situation.
Problem is that you end up being kind of bad in both types of offence.
Her calss' skill does address it, but then you can just use a class which will give her a decent value of either ATK or MAG. At least it would be reliable and not dependant on a skill who may or may not activate.
>Jean has shit growths in general
>give him double class growth to balance it out
>default him a class with shit class growths
There's no saving this piece of shit. You have to waste 9 levels of garbage before you can redeem him in another class. At least Cyril can easily access wyvern rider.
You can "instantly" change him with a second seal (well, not counting the time before you get a single second seal).
How do you even know if a unit is falling off since everyone have different hidden level thanks to the shitty job promotion system
I wish it was like Ragnarok Online
>different hidden level
What?
unlike most FE games your current level has minimal effect on how much exp enemies give you, it's based on your internal level. So promoting at 10 and leveling to 10 would get roughly the same exp as promoting at 20 and being 1. There's no way to see what your units real level is, only your current level
If I promote a character level 13, his level will reset to 1 but his "hidden level" is the same. So the amount of exp he'll need to go from level 1 to 2 will be like level 13 to 14.
Now if you didn't keep track of what level each of your character were when you promote them, you have no idea that your level 11 advanced class character is the same hidden level as your level 2 because they were just promoted at different level.
In Ragnarok Online, the character level and the job/class level are separate so it's easier to know where you are in the progression system
Does the unit get one rounded by enemies? Can they deal a decent amount of damage, or only chip? Did another unit join in the same class but with better stats all around? If any combination of the two are true, that unit is falling off.

It really isn't that replay friendly
Damn, now that you mentioned it, I guess FE has never been replayable...
I cant believe I did 6 replays of Conquest over the years...
What a fool I was...
>I cant believe I did 6 replays of Conquest over the years...
>What a fool I was...
Yeah, replaying Fates really is a mistake but you can learn from those mistakes. You can become a better man by playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions.
You were definitely a fool for playing Conquest six times, but at least that game has tons of eugenics autism that meaningfully adds to its replay value
Anon really wanting to emphasize his point in this thread it seems.
You were definitely a fool for playing Conquest six times, but at least that game has tons of eugenics autism that meaningfully adds to its replay value
I know this might shock you, but people replay games because it has good gameplay. I know that concept wasn't a thing in previous FE games or 3H, but good thing they added it in Conquest and Engage.
It's not that weird to want to replay a game you like, but let's not pretend that Engage has meaningfully more replay value than your average FE title beyond "frick you, I like this one"
It does. It's called not being shit.
>Skills are locked behind rings and cost so much SP that you can't afford them anyway
You didn't play the game.
I'm on Chapter 19 and wondering how anyone could ever afford anything that costs north of 3000sp
>No NG+
>No paired endings
This is just why tier?
>>No NG+
for what reason? one shotting enemies?
>>No paired endings
Characters have canon relationships already like Diamant and Citrinne wanting to frick each other
>No paired endings
>Characters have canon relationships already like Diamant and Citrinne wanting to frick each other
Don't even try to excuse this bullshit. Even older games had this bar 6.
>Even older games had this
Older game characters could only support with lik 2-4 other units and only 5 support ranks usually.
The shipping has always been nonsensical and immersion breaking. I want to see Annette reunite with her father, not some cringe shit of how she became Felix's wife.
>The shipping has always been nonsensical and immersion breaking.
Frick off homosexual. You sound like you love sucking dicks and you literally just said they always had 4-5 in every other game.
>It's really only Tome proficiency
Daggers too
>you literally just said they always had 4-5 in every other game
5 ranks aka only one A rank and one B rank, you can't support more than that. I don't know why you want to go back to Awakening and Fates piss poor shipping shit. Are you a woman?
>Awakening and Fates piss poor shipping shit
The fact you only say those tells me you haven't really played many FE games. Never reply to me again.
Concession accepted
>I don't know why you want to go back to Awakening and Fates
Prologs for the 2 highest supports on two units has been around for ever and way longer then the modern games.
What in the flying frick are you talking about?
Aren't they cousins?
>Aren't they cousins?
And?
Lad...
Corrin Azura is the only prominent cousins pairing in the whole franchise and even then it's a borderline scenario with how weird Corrin's situation is.
The games have never condoned cousins fricking, only full blooded or half siblings.
they already retcon that with making Mikoto and Areta "spiritual sisters"
Unironically Fake news spread by reddit
They actually doubled down on cousin cannonicity
Why are you a troony? Who gives a shit about shipping garbage?
>for what reason?
It's for fun. Strange concept
I might actually be able to afford some skills if the SP carried over
>>No NG+
>for what reason? one shotting enemies?
Make the game more difficult and give me a reason to play this
for example. Since it seems like nobody in the entire earth played the Tower of Trial because the game is too easy anyway and you don't need to ever level up your emblems weapons.
Also, someone in the previous thread said maddening isn't the hardest difficulty in the game files
A NG+ that lets you keep your SP would have been nice
There are enough characters you can vary who you actually use. But, yeah, the lack of different paired endings kind of hurts replays for no reason, considering how easy it'd be to add them.
>Reclassing is not flexible because proficiencies are locked behind emblem rings
You can just use SP for this, so it actually becomes very easy and quick.
It sucks because you don't have access to all of the rings until basically the end of the game. Tome proficiency for instance is totally unavailable between chapters 11 and 19, and you don't get a reliable supply of master seals until after you lose the early game rings
This games like unit balance and skill is kinda fricked with how you don't get shit till like end game, so make a lot of starter units just pump and dump.
I did my first skirmish at chapter 13 now. Are they supposed to be so hard? I really struggled with it.
yes, especially on maddening
skirmishs scale really fricked and I find are harder then the actual story fights
Skirmishes take into account the level of your strongest unit
I'm loving it but tiki is kicking my ass. Do units come back in paralogues like training missions or is it like a normal mission? Fricking cheating dragons
They die, bro.
And yeah, Tiki paralogue is hard.
I prefer RD having moronic unit availability instead of just making most early game units way shitter than mid/lategame recruits.
Most people do. The way this game is designed is pretty fricking bad that way. It does not feel good to like a unit, but they will be pump and dumbed since since they are a starter unit and the game designed like shit level wise.
imagine metaslaving so hard over one of the easiest Fire Emblem entries in the franchise
I'd rather have bad units but good availability than good units with bad availability. I know God himself looks negatively upon this but I'd rather just patch up the shit stats of units I like by using stat boosters. God forbid than have the units I like for a few maps at a time then losing them for a quarter of a game.
Radiant Dawn does both though with the Dawn Brigade's stats.
>Dawn Brigade
Micaiah, Edward, Jill and Nolan were beastly units for me.
Imagine falling for the "Dawn Brigade BAD" meme from Reddit meta slaves.
>Jill
Come the frick on, that doesn't even count
>for me.
Too bad they are objectively bad besides Jill.
By that metric, Jill is also dogshit as her stats are barely any better than Dawn Brigade units.
>>Try not playing on easy
COPE :')
>her stats are barely any better
They are vastly superior, she's a flyer, and has a B rank in Axes. There is no comparison.
Try not playing on easy
Once I finish chapter 19, I'm buying EVERYONE Hit +10
That'd be dumb, but you do you
Just get Silver weapons. They have good Hit naturally
And I got fricked with Edward not growing strength for like a million levels.
Nolan carried my team and their sins, bless that guy, but I was ecstatic when Jill joined and FINALLY someone else could carry the Down's Syndrome.
Leonardo and Meg are the only DB units that get straight up outclassed. Everyone else is capable of competing with later units if you invest in them (except Jill is always worse than Haar). Nolan was more useful than Boyd in most of my playthroughs and Edward is automatically a dodgetank regardless of how lucky you are w/his growths.

>everyone talks about how Ike is the strongest Emblem
Why does Ike get shilled so much? Defeating God isn't much of an accomplishment when you've been superbuffed by the other half of God. Now Ephraim, that's a real man's Emblem.
They've been saying the whole Ike is the strongest since Awakening DLC. Early Heroes also hyped him up a lot although they've seemingly dropped it by now.
Eirika X Seth would have been a better and stronger emblem
Who let you bear a computer, Eirika?
Because Ike did it well just being a literally nobody hobo with no special anything, not a lord and no super mega special god weapon, making it way more impressive
>and no super mega special god weapon
Rest in peace Ike's sword I suppose. Literally just a butter knife to Altina I suppose.
I mean it's not really his to be fair, anyone can use it unlike other ones. He kinda had to make himself too.
I understand your point to a degree but it's still an overpowered super sword which is notable for being strong enough that even a shattered version of it is being used by some hobo in the future and it's still crazy good.
I mean ya, but he didn't start out with it or it was his from birth or his blood lets him weild it or some shit. He kinda went out and made it on his own really, so that makes it being that way even more impressive really.
His dad is pretty important
His dad was still guy who sue to hit things really hard so people were impressed by it.
Ragnell is super special though. It just has a super lazy origin story.
It's a god blessed weapon, able to break through goddess blessing that otherwise completely nullifies damage and can even release energy blasts.
Didn't he have to go get it blessed himself?
No? The Black Knight threw it to Greil, Greil rejected it, then Ike carried it along for a long time before deciding to use it against the Black Knight.
>and can even release energy blasts.
There are plenty of swords who can release energy blasts in RD, though.
>Didn't he have to go get it blessed himself?
Nah, it was already blessed. The BK gave it to Greil exactly because otherwise he wouldn't have been able to wound or kill him because of his blessed armor.
I originally thought it was just the usual Ike shilling until I used his emblem.
It's not the best utility wise but it's by far the most combat oriented and any unit using it will become your best enemy phase tank.
>Why does Ike get shilled so much?
It's to bully Ike since he hates it so much. In game he fricking hates how much everyone seems to hype him up.
He's just really buff.
Eirika pls, when did Ephraim say you can stop sucking?
Ike goddess killcount: 1

You know what Ike did a fricking a lot now that I think about it.
He failed to impregnate Elincia
She’d die trying to accept his seed
That pussy belongs to Geoffrey, he spent way too much time after it to let someone else get it.
Smash bros
>People b***hing about Ch 11 and the game taking away your resources
This is why most games these days are so handholdy.
God forbid the player be restricted in some way or inconveinanced at all.
I thought removing the rewind temporarily was very cool, and the mission wasn't even that hard.
What annoyed me was many of your units, especially casters getting locked out of promotions if you didn't get emblem proficiencies in time.
Sucks on a first playthrough but on repeat ones you can play ahead, so I don't think it's the worst thing ever.
they should detatch gaining weapon proficiency from ring and have some other system for it. dumbass desicion
Well to be fair you can literally get 100% fricked being to promote losing some of those weapon skills to let you wield them. Like that is pretty fricking bad.
I was more annoyed by the asshomosexual freezing my units than the lack of ring
Giving people abilities and then taking them away is very frustrating in a way a video game should not be
I didn't mind losing stuff, but losing the ability to buy many skills for a long time was bullshit.
What are you on about? Chapter 11 was absolutely amazing and had genuine consequences on your party making abilities and decisions.
It also made chapter 17 that much more impactful because they were all using the rings you were spamming the shit out of for the first third of the game.
Genuinely one of the best thematic fights in FE from a gameplay perspective (lets see how you like getting Warp Ragnarok'd for a change Toothpaste kun) ive seen.
It also motivates you to actually get the rings back, which wouldnt happen if they pussy footed and gave you them all back starting in ch12
You can play the map like a route the map on maddening aside from killing the e-girl. It's not difficult.
I wish more companies had the balls but with homosexuals like this
around, we'll always be limited.
Xenoblade 3 has this super dumb "loss" sequence where you lose a character in a cutscene but there is zero gameplay integration at all where you have to cope with the loss of power and missing that character. The cutscene ends and you get the character back because god forbid the player is inconvenienced in any way.
Maybe it would work if it was just Chapter 11, but way too many of the game's core mechanics are built around the rings to take them away for several hours of gameplay
That part of the game was fricking AWESOME. I want more like that. Bring me back Thracia where you get fricked left right and centre because of the STORY! The story gameplay integration is crucial to my enjoyment of a game.
Nah it's cool.
But don't pretend it's much of a restriction. It's just making the game more "normal" again.
who do I give boots to
I've had them for 4 chapters now and I still have no idea who to give them to
Your mom
she died in chapter 2
use stat boosters straight away, hoarding them is one of the dumbest things you can do
my personal priority for boots would be General (if you have one) > Alear > Dancer
the main reason I haven't just given them to louis is because between swap and advance (inherited) he hasn't had issues getting into place. He usually is an enemy phase unit anyways so I haven't felt like he'd get good use out of them.
just use it pussy
fine I'll put them on kagetsu
If you’re using an armor knight/general I’d give it to them.
Why don't newer FEs get sequels/prequels like some of the older titles used to?
Hopes was a side-quel.
avatar cancer
Because none of the newer games stories are worth following up, aside from 3H of all things. New FE will be following the Pokemon format where new gimmicks are prioritized over story or gameplay balance and depth like with Engage.
Sounds like a good thing. It means you don't have garbage like Tellius anymore or slop like 3H/Hopes and focus on crafting a good game like Engage.
But engay isn't a good game unless you enjoy shallow gimmicks.
Gimmicks are a good thing casual-kun. That's what the best games ever made on built on.
But they're not? The gameplay isn't even difficult on maddening. It's cheesy garbage where where stats gimmicks dominate over strategy and management.
They most certainly are. You're just an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about. Common on this board.
>The gameplay isn't [headcanon]
See?
>strategy and management
Yeah, Tellius and 3H forgot that part.
>Tellius and 3H
Did you not play those games? Whataboutism doesn't make Engay less shallow and gimmicky.
Yeah, and they were garbage that requires no strategy and management.
>less shallow and gimmicky.
Having good gameplay is shallow now? 3HrTrannies, not even once.
I don't even like 3H. Is your game so shallow you need to boogeyman anyone who dislikes it? Engay is shallow and gimmicky in comparison to the most basic b***h strategy games out there, because it's more of an arena game than a strategy game.
Who are you even talking to? Just play all the strategy games instead of this tribalist loser shit.
Sure buddy.
>shallow and gimmicky
Again, is having good gameplay a shallow thing now?
It's not good though? The gameplay is easy and easy to cheese without looking for ways to do so and there's no consideration to be given to terrain outside of damage tiles. It's probably even less strategic than Echoes and it's 2-3 turn maps.
>The gameplay is [headcanon]
See?
Why are you replying ro bait?
Engaging with morons is the only reason to go on this board nowadays.
>park unit next to guard skill unit

The poor guy is having a breakdown from seeing how good chain assist is.
Are you purposefully playing poorly on purpose to make a point? At no time do you need to "juggernaut" when you have multiple chain guard spammers and tank units to pull enemies
>Actually paying attention to the map
Too bad that's not in Tellius or 3H. Good thing they finally added that back in the series with Engage.
What Tellius were you playing?
The one where Ike solos the whole game, and the other where Haar is invincible and one-turns maps.
>easy mode bab
On Manic Mode actually.
>You Didn't play the games
You didn't play the games.
I can't believe I just Solo'd the Dawn Brigade chapters with Haar
I did. I'm sorry you think your VN is on par with proper video games. Maybe stick to to something like Fata Morgana? At least that has actual good writing.
You don't play video games.
Yeah, you don't play Tellius. You read it.
You don't read books either.
Now you're going to pretend your poorly written VN is anywhere near Tolstoy? Laughable.
This explained everything about you, thanks red.
>Telliusgay doesn't read books
No wonder people think FE has good stories.
Tellius had less dialogue in its cutscenes than Engay's overly verbose, drawn out cringe-scenes.
It has more actually. You're an EOP who hasn't touched Manic Mode, aren't you.
It has more cutscenes in total but each of them were to the point and not drawn-out and overly melodramatic cringe-scenes like in Engayge.
>It has more cutscenes in total
With far more (terrible) dialogue. I get it, you're an EOP who hasn't touched Manic Mode.
>With far more (terrible) dialogue
You're just coping at this point. Everyone agrees Engay's writing is probably the worst in the series
>Engage
>overly verbose
???
First cutscene is of an old dude and two children wasting several minutes sucking the divine dragon's wiener to establish that he's important.
That's not what verbose mean
>looking up LTC guides on your first playthrough
I don't even think Tellius games have particularly good gameplay but you are a homosexual
Ike soloing PoR isn't LTC and stuff like Haar raping 2-E or one-shotting Ike from across the map in 3-13 isn't something difficult to figure out when playing the game for the first time.
You didn't play the game.
That makes sense since they neither of them are games.
You don't know what a game is.
Because Tellius isn't one. It has no gameplay to speak of.
You do not understand English, red.
What gameplay is in Tellius? Watching enemy animations isn't gameplay in case you're wondering.
no normal person will solo the game with one unit, you'd have to unironically be some sort of speedrun homosexual to bench your entire army in a game about building your army
Not my fault the game is poorly balanced. That's not an issue in proper video games like FE5, or 6. And New Mystery and Engage.
>it's 2-3 turn maps
Minor grammar mistake. Disregarding all of your posts.
Usually because it'd contradict paired endings and route choices. Actually makes me wonder if they're planning a freaking direct sequel to Engage considering the lack of paired endings and the whole "we'll meet again" post-credits scene (although this could just be a reference to how there will be more FE games).
Would be funny if Engage got a more serious sequel where Brodia doubles down on warmongering and wages war against other kingdoms
It will be kino if we get 12 more FE games, and then an Engage sequel in like 30 years. Same universe, an older Alear as protagonist, and a new set of rings.
Ike's the power fantasy of a 10-14 yo male child
Ike is a pretty traditional hero story so it's the power fantasy of literally every human ever.
I also want my father and mother to die leavening with with a band of mercs who hate me
Just need a gameplay rebalance mod and it is officially THE best Fire Emblem game.
Personal skills need to be rebalanced, along with SP gain and class skills. Boom, done, perfect game. I want Kidnap on Leif too so I can use those qt Elusian soldier pegacuties
>a vessel for Grima
>a half dragon
>whatever the frick is going on with Byleth
>now a full blown dragon
Getting kinda sick of dragon protagonists
Don't worry, it can't get worse from here. There's literally nothing more powerful than Divine/Fell Dragons and Alear is both so we're going to cycle back around to normal dudes like Marth and Alm then back to eugenics children like Sigurd, Seliph, Leif then magic weapons like Roy, Eliwood/Hector/Lyn, Eirika/Ephraim, Ike, Micaiah THEN back to Dragons.
See you in 17 more games.
>whatever the frick is going on with Byleth
Explaining what is going on with Byleth is not that hard, the problem is trying to make sense of what Byleth and Rhea child would be.
>the problem is trying to make sense of what Byleth and Rhea child would be.
Nabatean with the Crest of Flames and Crest of Seiros. Given we know from Edelgard's ending that Byleth doesn't need the heart of Sothis to live it means a child could be born normally with no need to trade the heart to the child like with Sitri.
Thinking about it, it'd just be a better version of Edelgard as it would have two major crests as it's getting both crests directly from the source unlike Edelgard's minor crest.
Just wait until New New Mystery when it turns out Kris is actually a descendant from the Earth dragons and becomes a manakete mid game and one of the few units with effective damage against Medeus. You also marry Naga and become the dragon god king.
>You also marry Naga and become the dragon god king.
Best ending. I'm going to personally repopulate the Divine Dragons and turn the voice of Naga into the moan of Naga.
I like mauvier
agreed about the gameplay aspect and i couldn't possibly care less about story or character than i do now
i am pure gameplay chad only so i am satisfied
read a book Black person if you want a story
I'm 2/3s through Conquest and wondering if I should play Birthright then Revelations afterwards or just Revelation or neither? Depends on how too similar the games might feel playing them in a row.
They're actually pretty different unlike 3 Houses' routes, although when you get to Revelations you see more map reuse before the 2nd half of the game.
The main issue is that Birthright is kind of mindless and Revelations' maps are often outright aggravating.
Revelations for some reason assumes you’ve played both conquest and birthright even though it’s not actually a Groundhog Day situation
Revelations wasn't played tested once and feels like absolute dogshit to play
Birthright will be boring as frick after Conquest and you won't finish
Best to just end at Conquest and pick up Birthright later once you've forgotten about it some
All 3 routes are different with only 1 or 2 maps shared from what I remember. Revelation is the one that reuses the most I think but with shitty added gimmicks.
All 3 routes share the maps pre split and rainbow sage, but the enemies are different in each route.
Birthright and Conquest share Cheve, the ice tribe, the boat map, and Izumo but different enemies due to appearing at different points.
Conquest and Revelation share the port town of Dia, Fuga’s map, and the map where you can create clones of everyone.
Birthright and Revelation share the fort map in Hoshido, and the ninja forest.
speedrun Birthright with best onii-sama
Why is Ike like this?
he's a brute and not a refined noble like most lords
Its not goldmary's fault shes an egotistic b***h. Her only competition was a moron trao and a moron clown before joining the MC's group.
his little conversation with Jean is pretty funny
>not gay just oblivious
>autism
>Like with weapons
Holy fricking autism Ike
Maybe he thought she was packing a secret hot dog. She does tag along with Rosado after all.
He's playing dumb so that no-one will hold it against him when he hits her with the flat of his sword.
He's confused why she thinks being pretty would factor into it, and thinks she might be making an entendre.
She's wasting her breath, Rosado is the only cast member who'd have a chance.
Ike likes them cute and male.
How are you even getting internet access, Soren?
He is literally me
>No way, gay
Still a pity that it is apparently censored in "localization". They need to stop with this nonsense. I rather they would have changed everyone to 18+ rather than fricking around with stupid shit and eliminating anything vaguely problematic.
When do you get your second flier?
Chloe's level 13 with just 8 strength and is tickling enemies, I need someone new.
11 but she's a mage
your next physical flier is 16
Fliers are nerfed. Chloe is probably still the best one.
this is the most accessible game in terms of your units getting strength screwed, start upgrading weapons for her
One thing i like about maddening, no RNG means nobody gets screwed. Although i still might switch to random growths if i do a second playthrough.
the fact that they built maddening around fixed growths shows that at least someone on the team actually gives a shit about fire emblem even if we got some cringe story and characters
Maddening main story feels impeccably balanced but the Paralogues devolve into some horseshit imo.
Marth's Paralogue has fricking archers with 30 DEF from what I remember and Thoron mages with 61 MATK.
Literally no one except Kagetsu will double on this map either so have fun slogging through all the units.
my guess is that the mainline chapters made sure to be better balanced and paralogues were allotted a little more "creative freedom"
Be amazing if they gave whoever made that call more influence so we could see patched in shit like a randomizer or a 0 growths option.
Wo Dao kinda blows. I regret upgrading it for Kagetsu. You'd need Panette level STR to use effectively and it seems just strictly worse than Killing Edge.
It is strictly a worse killing edge unless there's some hidden stat the game doesn't tell you.
It's lower weight, but otherwise yeah it's strictly worse.
It's light and has better hit which literally doesn't matter on Kagetsu. Maybe you'd see more use for it on Lapis with her shit 5 BLD.
how to be cool like Ike
>eat big
>lift big
What is his sleep routine like?
Is this really achievable natty?
That's fan fiction ike
The true miracle is surviving long enough in constant war to have arms like that without a gym. Thats luckchad genetics right there.
>needing a gym when all you're doing every day is swinging around a sword and hard carrying the Greil Mercenaries.
I think Ike's lifts are fine.
The greil mercenaries can carry themselves pretty alright with shinon, boyd, rhys etc.
Carrying the Dawn brigade like Nolan and Aran do, now THAT'S work.
>Engage actively wants me to replay it
But it doesnt, theres not a single element of the game i havent seen in one playthrough. The unique passives are so minor they can safely be ignored, so from gamepoint perspective i dont see a reason why instead of kagetsu i should use lapis. Also story and characters being laughably bad doesnt really motivate me to play it again either
>use Raging Storm to get a kill
>get another action
>dance to get another action + kill
>use Byleth's 4-man-dance
>get another action and a kill
>dance again to get another action
>Houses Unite+ for a kill and another action because Byleth is nearby
>get a 5th kill
People circlejerk that the Tiki Emblem is broken, but that thing is nothing compared to 3H's emblem.
If you used either, you didn't beat the game.
Fates' support chats feel a lot more soulful than any of the switch games'. Is this how FE once all was?
Fates’ supports were some of the worst in the entire series
>Ike's paralogue map
>mad man just smashes the entire fort down and charges with his entire army
That was fun. I still beat him relatively easy though since its too easy to choke both the left and right side with a single tanky unit so I had like 6 people to gang up on him.
That map was scary and made me shit myself a bit when he did that. He one tanky mother fricker
So dodge tanks are basically meta right? I genuinely don't see how some of these maps are winnable without them, since every enemy hits like a truck.
Dunno how good Generals/Great Knights are in this game as I've mostly relied on dodgetank Alear/Kagetsu/Zelkov and some Ike action for front lining.
Diamant is also somewhat coming into his own but he can still get unlucky and die if he doesn't proc Sol enough in a horde. That's more Roy being busted though.
Enemy attack stats are too high to comfortably tank and gigaboosting DEF doesn't really work as you'll get ignored as soon as they start dealing 0 dmg.
You have to be aware that mages especially nullify a bit of dodge tank utilities, because they remove cover bonus. For Yunaka it's fine because she has amazing res, but zelkhov and kagetsu can get hit hard. ALso, team attack are 80% , so dodge isn't helping you there.
Frankly i keep a mix of both, diamant and louis in the thick of it, zhelkov and MC doing more dodgy stuff.
Good mention to alcryst with lyn, one rounding mage so let the others shine.
the backup at 80% but guaranteed damage can be so fricking annoying but really good mechanically to force you think about more than just stacking defense
>You have to be aware that mages especially nullify a bit of dodge tank utilities
>engraves your weapon
>grooms your little brother
>turns 360 degrees and walks away
nothing personal mages, but my dodge tank doesn't need cover.
>Heal us, Emblem of dawn-Micaiah!
>She's better known as a DPS mage
? ! ? ? ?
Her Prf weapon in radiant dawn was a physic staff, so i could almost forget why they forgot she's a nuke, except FEH clearly remembered since Micaiah's entire gimmick in that game is being an unstoppable Armorslayer with massive Res as a bonus.
Her prf weapon was Thani, a tome.
That's like saying Marth's Prf is the Rapier.
>turns 360 and warps away
FTFY
wrong game anon, only bad guys get warp powder in RD.
>only bad guys get warp powder in RD.
And yet Micaiah was holding out on us. Truly the biggest villain in the series.
>grooms your little brother
Not if Celica gets to him first
Enemies will just ignore you if they have a 0% hit rate, same with if you have too much defense. Chain attacks also deal fixed damage so without wasting a slot on pair up they can still be killed.
>Chain attacks also deal fixed damage so without wasting a slot on pair up they can still be killed
this will never happen unless you get like 4 heroes attacking you
Generals can tank physical fine, especially if you give them ike for the half damage and the big aoe sol when needed.
Dodge tanks are very strong though with how easy it is to stack avoid.
You can also do strats like agroing enemies with lyn's engage attack then killing them on player phase
My Louis can't seem to cut it anymore since every enemy started using silver weapons. I mean he only takes a few points of dmg, but when everything doubles you and the chain attacks, he takes like 15hp dmg per round so he can't tank more than 2 enemies. Haven't tried Jade but I don't think her stats are as good.
It may be a temporary thing but I feel the jump from steel to silver for every enemy is too powerful. I'm still mostly using steel and don't really see much option to go to silver given almost everyone is a buildlet. But silver doesn't come with any hit bonus so my yunaka with 120 avo is still tanking like a champ.
Keep on feeding him. at least in my game he's back to 0 x2
Do note that every one of my unit first task is to inherit starsphere, and he was one of my first to have it due to the insane amount of kills he gets in general.
Man i just did the chapter where you get emblem Ike, the boss in that had a brave axe hitting twice for like 40 atk, almost nobody in my army stood a chance of tanking that, so i just sent in Chloe with a Micaiah engraved javelin and Yunaka with her Sigurd engraved dagger. The boss ignored Yunaka because lol 0% hit, but Chloe had just the right amount to get him to like 5% hit chance. It was great because i was even able to pull his brother away from him into my army since the brother had even less hit and would ignore Chloe too.
what are his stats? I'm at chapter 18 and my louis has 31 def as a level 11 general. +3 from ike, +5 from resolve is good enough for small numbers of units, and another +10 from great aether is more than enough to tank anything
Louis and Jade negate anything that's not a mage as a threat, Jean negates anything that is a mage as a threat.
>Jean negates anything that is a mage as a threat
>he didn't make Jean a general and watch him cap defense

Are the horns real?
what is the difference between the dodge and avoid on weapons?
i haven't been able to figure out what dodge actually does
One allows you to not get hit, the other allows you to not get crit. I'm pretty sure Avoid is for attacks, Dodge is for crits.
Dodge lowers enemy crit chance, avoid lowers enemy hit rate
Dodge is crit chance reduction.
3 houses is more replayable due to giving you different units that you probably never used in your first playthrough at the very beginning to keep things fresh. and at least some maps change at the end depending on route, and there's new paralogues
engage slog is worse imo, you are forced to run to collect shinies in every post-battle map if you want to be optimal for ores
>3H is more replayable
>the entire monastery
think you meant to type unplayable
>3 houses is more replayable
>you have to play through the Academy Phase every time
Frick no, I did all four routes. There's nothing more cancerous than the amount of frick around you have to do just to get to the new route.
>new route
noticed this on my golden deer route, looked almost exactly the same as my blue lions even though i thought people said they were not
starting the map in a difference location doesn't make it new
Yeah, I hard dropped the game after Dimitri is "cured". Edelgard is still the only route I've played fully. Post timeskip was a fricking joke. They really should've just done Dimitri and Edelgard routes with proper maps and maybe add a new route as DLC a year later (proper Church route).
>Edelgard is still the only route I've played fully.
RIP.
>giving you different units that you probably never used in your first playthrough
I took all the units I wanted on my first play through, I started a 2nd one but couldn't get passed the school phase and never finished it.
The somniel is barely an improvement on the monastery. You still gotta pick up random shit, pet sommie, get food/training boosts, spam arena, etc. The only difference is the characters don't say anything new each chapter so there's no reason to talk to any of them.
Farming professor level in 3H was way more time consuming than any Somniel activity.
just skip that shit on ng+
>ng+
you didn't beat the game
None of the Somniel shit matters
You'll get more Bond fragments than you ever need just from achievements and the only things that give you permanent power are dogs and arena
Eat food if on Maddening
yes on repeat playthroughs, right now though im starved on bond from playing the ring gacha
oh and giving everyone canto+
>finish chapter 10
>master seal drops
>nowhere in my inventory
did I discard it by accident somehow what the frick I needed that
They don't go in your inventory. You just go to change class in the inventory menu and it'll show you how many you have.
Yeah, I'm moronic. What about it?
Inventory screen, class change option. They no longer take inventory slots.
>Micaiah's Paralogue map lost the ledges
I've seen a lot of people using engage to seethe about 3 houses, but as someone who played both games I have no idea why one game makes people this angry when they play almost the exact same, just with different battle mechanics and balance. Chances are it's probably just generation war autism, but on the off chance that it's not I want to ask.
