Fire Emblem: Three Houses |OT| My Students' Class Reunion Can't Be This Bad!

Nah wyver rider upgrade sets the str of the char as 18 (+3 extra from class so its 21) if under 18. Add to that a batallion that adds physical damage (+5 or more) and axefaire from class (+5) a good weapon and anyone can hit hard. And you can take that cert at lvl 20 so thats pretty early. the hardest part is getting the axe rank on lys as she doenst like axes.
You can even add death blow for an extra +6 per swing and even an extra axe faire from weapon rank for +5 on top of that.
My lys still hits harder from mag, but she can also hit from regular axes now

Just decided to bench Felix because I really don't need another 'on the ground damage dealer' with Caspar, Edelgard and Byleth already playing that role in my party setup. He's also a recruit so I know that I can use him more in a Blue Lions playthrough. So my final team set up is:
Byleth - Enlightened One
Edelgard - Fortress Knight/Armoured Lord (will decide after time skip)
Hubert - Dark Bishop
Ferdinand - Paladin
Linhardt - Bishop
Caspar - War Master
Bernadetta - Bow Knight
Dorothea - Dancer
Petra - Wyvern Lord
Ingrid - Pegasus Knight
So 3 grounded damage dealers, 3 mounted damage dealers, 3 ranged damage dealers (I've specced Dorothea quite heavily into Reason) and 1 healer/support.
All good?

Yeah, Raph's Res is garbage. I had to stuff him full of Res-improving items when I recruited him in BE.
That's pretty similar to what my BE team looked like. The only difference was that I recruited Sylvain and made him a Wyvern Lord and kept Petra on the ground as an Assassin.
Gender-specific classes are one of the worst parts of the game imo. In a game that's so focused on "everyone can be anything," it's just really backwards that they chose to strictly block off classes for no reason whatsoever. At the very least they could just change the names/looks of the gender-specific classes and keep the stats (so men get Dragon Knight instead of Pegasus Knight, Cleric instead of Bishop for women, etc) because the way it is right now is just ridiculous.
That's fine for end game. I would recommend going armored lord over fortress knight if you don't plan on going great knight. The extra movement helps a great deal, and Edelgard's defense is so high that Pavise doesn't do a ton for you.
I did spec Petra quite heavily into the Assassin role but there was literally no-one else on my team who could take up a Flying class (why I recruited Ingrid) so she kind of had to switch priorities there. Byleth kind of plays that role anyway, and on Normal it's not like the stealth bonuses really matter too much.
That's probably what I'll do, yeah. I did notice in the clean up battle I played that the Fortress Knight movement is pretty awful; and whilst it's fun yeeting her into enemy crowds with Linhardt's Warp some extra movement would be better.
I love Dorothea but I sorta feel bad for using her. She does not want to be involved in any of this shit.
I could have sworn that how good they were at those ranks influenced what and how good they were at training you back, but I could be totally wrong.
SOMEONE JUST LET HIM PAINT
One thing that's generally been a good rule of thumb in FE games is to not waste precious EXP. Unless your army is super over leveled or the map is giving you tons of trouble, it's generally wise to try and kill every enemy possible to raise your units level/ranks instead of going for the quick finish.
Especially post time-skip, it kind of feels like she's just gotten the life kicked out of her and would rather be doing literally anything else than being stuck in a war. I think there's an interesting story with her character I'm not sure the game's going to tell, since she was basically in the wrong place at the wrong time and is now stuck doing the thing she likes least with the highest possible consequences. I know there are other sorta pacifists like Lindhart but Dorothea actively apologizes and laments the state of things as her battle dialogue.

Me after watching Ignatz's C-level supports:

Put a thief near where that unit spawns and steal it.

my Raphael has become an absolute unit - I know people have more broken characters but once I can throw a Crit ring on him he'll have a 40%+ crit rate on every hit
Dorothea was definitely caught up in shit she didn't sign up for. Her original goal in getting into the Officers Academy was as a means to find a suitor to marry so her future after her opera career would be secure. Actually becoming a military officer and fighting in a war was the last thing she wanted.
At 140 hours now, I've completed Golden Deer!
Last map wasn't too bad, it was just long.
Super excited to get started with Blue Lions though. I hope King Edgelord delivers on the hype.

First thing's first, wow I sucked at the pairings compared to BE. The only romantic pairing was Byleth lol, and sorta Ignatz if you count him getting with Raphael's sister.
This was a pretty good route. Looking at the ingame timer I spent about as long on it as I did BE A, which is crazy to me, I thought I was going fast.
This route was clearly going for something different than the other two routes, which is fine. Golden Deer as a route seems much less serious than the others and it was nice to have that because boy was BE A exhausting by the end (in a good way though). It's very straightforward and reactive. Bad guys show up, beat the bad guys, celebrate, etc.
I think for the most part your second house pick is always going to suffer under the shadow of your first house, so I try not to be too harsh here (probably doesn't help that GD is significantly more conventional too). For a "lore" route, it filled in a lot of the blanks I had, which is nice because I dunno when I'll get around to the church route.
But I think the whole route kind of sticks out in a bad way. Claude is pretty much doing his own thing the whole route, which is nice on paper but as a result I feel like the story is a lot less interesting (as well as the character himself). He lacks any kind of personal stakes in the Edelgard/Dimitri drama so Chapter 17 kind of ends up as a wet fart than something truly poignant in the plot. He develops in the sense that he learns to trust others, but that development is so lacking that I didn't even notice it until much later. Also while I'm sure in those times ending racism is an amazing goal, any kind of lecture about it during the story just looked to me like "Baby's First Racism" lesson, and my eyes rolled back into my head. Not to mention the, "does Cyril look like a monster to you?" part ehhhh
The rest of the cast is also pretty lacking, I found most of them to be pretty one note-y, especially students like Hilda and Raphael, though they had their own bright spots in their supports (Please do HildaxSeteth and RaphaelxFlayn, you'll thank me later), so as a result I didn't fall for them nearly as hard as I did BE.
It probably also doesn't help Golden Deer that the flaws start to show the more you play. The monastery is super pointless in the second half, and kills the pacing (seriously putting an entire month in the middle of the last battle??). Professor points get really broken. The second half was also too long I felt, and could've been cut by about 2 or 3 chapters (Chapter 19 and 20 could've just been one thing for instance). In retrospect 18 chapters for BE A was nice.
This post kind of reads like I hated it and that's not true I swear (or else I wouldn't have finished it). I just found it to be disappointing (especially Claude himself, what a bummer). Gameplay wise, this had to be one of my smoothest FE runs. Aside from Lorenz who really sucked towards the end, everyone else was an absolute unit and contributed to every map in the game. I can't pick who was my best unit to be honest, they were all so good.

Quick question in regards to other routes by this point
So after Dimitri's scene at the ball and his reaction to the dagger at the start of Chapter 11 it seems pretty obvious who the Flame Emperor is. This makes me wonder, is it easy to discern who it is on other routes by this point?
afaik green units cant kill enemy units that would finish the mission. they always leave them at 1hp. they can die to their counters tho
There are more hints in BE
There are no hints in GD iirc.
The one thing is that in all 3 routes
the main lord of the house always leaves the scene whenever the Flame Emperor is on screen. But in BE and BL there are hints at who the Flame Emperor is. In GD there isnt so Claude's abscense end ups being a red herring by coincidence haha
I constantly used Rescue on Jeralt to keep him away from Tomas until I had finished collecting all chests and stuff lol.
Ferdinand: "I will rally what remains of my house's forces to help the church defend against the Empire."
Dorothea: "I have been looking after a group of war orphans, we should shelter them in the monastery and they can help out looking after the place."
Linhardt: "I robbed my dad, here's 5000 gold."

Either Awakening or Echoes, you will feel more familiar with Echoes after playing Three Houses
Awakening has things not present in Echoes or Three Houses like Weapon Triangle, kid units
Warmaster, anything with an axe and lastly, go down the mage route, detour back to Swordmaster and when you're satisfied, Mortal Savant.
DON'T TALK ABOUT MY LITTLE ARTIST LIKE THAT!
Nah. The game definitely picks two skills that they are likely to be good at, but it doesn't look at what they are actively good at on the current playthrough. So for every character they picked two skills they have blue up arrows in when you are training them, but the games does not actually care which of their blue up arrow skills (or other skills for that matter) they have highly ranked. Which leads to things like Bernadette with S riding wanting to teach me lances and bows despite being c ranked in lances.
This is for advanced drills anyway. I have never used seminars outside of the forced tutorial so it might be different there.
I feel like Pete Carroll after engineering a one-turn Hail Mary play for the Eagles on Conflict at the Holy Tomb. All it took was both Ferdinand and Sylvain on horseback with Stride, the Warp Squad (Lys and Lin) and Dancer Dorothea all working to carry Byleth downfield, and with two shakes of her Levin Sword the commander went down! The Flame Emperor just got taken to school!
Side note: my god, the presentation of that post-mission sequence was so much better on the Blue Lions run. The Black Eagles couldn't even get an anime cutscene?
jk bae, let's burn this place to the ground.

Claude has a unique one were if he dodges he shoots back while backfliping.
Raphael - War Master (gauntlets)
Hilda - Great Knight (tank)
Ignatz - Dancer
When I had him using a bow I'm pretty sure he was using paint brushes for arrows considering the damage he was doing.
Great in a number of circumstances
1) it's the only way to kill a foe without having to rely on a low % crit
2) it won't kill and you're trying to feed a kill to one of your weaker character
3) for ones effective against monsters it'll instantly break a shield
I use combat arts all the time, they're best with your training/iron weapons that have the durability to spare. Obviously all of the above can apply to silver/killer/relic weapons, but they can be costly and should be a last ditch emergency.
Pretty much, after going through Black Eagles/Crimson Flower, the less I wanna play the Black Eagles/Silver Snow. If I'm ever gonna play it it will prolly be my last playthrough to get the entire narrative of the game.
Yeah, he would probably need Death Blow and, like, all the Energy Drops for him to deal decent damage as a War Master. Good old noodle-armed Ignatz.
He would get a lot of crits, though.
Yeah, the BE C route is going to be my "last" run, but then I do plan to cap it off with a final BE E route repeat run after that haha.
I'm in February right now and this is 100% me
Felix the edgelord. I don't think I've seen his Flayn supports yet now that I think about it. Also, this is one of those cases where I desperately want to share this with someone because it's hilarious but I can think of literally 1 person who would get it and he's not on social media :(
Id probably space out the Black Eagle routes. I finished C today and Ill probably hit E after GD. Need some space from this house for a while hah.
haha yeah I'm not really using flayn (got Merce, Lyndhart and Marianna as healers) but as luck would have it, I had felix next to her during the paralogue and got the Support C, now I kinda want to see the rest...
Well, finishing up Ch 8. All of my units now have Vantage, with the exception of the mages, and everyone is focusing on riding/flying. Hilda is the MVP, finishing up thievery to focus on Wyverns. She's going to fly around the map stealing crap and just wrecking stuff very, very soon. A Wyvern Rider with Vantage, and thievery should be pretty good. She doubles EVERYTHING she faces due to some pretty good strength, speed, and dexterity.
Raphael, my boy is finally growing into the Warrior he was always supposed to be
My Lysithea has actually been gimped via bad RNG so she's just okay (though she is THE monster slayer), and surprise/surprise my top mage is actually Marianne when it comes to just plain laying people out. Also have Sylvain, and Mercedes on the mage front as well. Every mage I have has high speed/good magic to double attack most of the time. However, poor Lorenz has been relegated to backup duty because he's just too slow at present, and doesn't have Physic to remain useful.
Petra replaced poor Ignatz, and she is fixing to move to Assassin - freaking amazing at producing crits with killer weapons. Catherine also has requirements for Assassin, so after mastering Swordmaster, she will be moving on to pick up lethality. Byleth will soon be a Swordmaster as well, so I have plenty of brawn to balance all the archers and mages.
As for archers, both Leonie and Claude will soon be snipers. Most of my units are L19 going into the final map of Ch8, so promotion day is coming soon!
I just wish I had more time to play, as I will be vacating the thread soon to avoid spoilers. I absolutely love this game.
