I turned Rinkah into a dread fighter...she's pretty bad ass.
They weren't one shotted, which is what he meant.
Is he better as a samurai?
Oh good point! I'm already pairing him with Oboro, so this works for me.
I was always upset about Ephraim's promotion. We finally get a decent, non-mounted lance user and they have to go give him the horse. I don't know why I prefer the non-mounted lance users, probably spoiled by Nephenee the critical queen and Aran the indestructible tank from PoR and RD. I loved the soldier class so much.
Haven't played Birthright yet but looking forward to having some on-foot lance users in my team.

Marry her to Silas and she makes an even better Great Knight. High movement AND defense!
You get get them one by one as you level up. If you go from Knight to General to Paladin for instance, you'll get the Cavalier skills as you level up as a Paladin as early as level 2 and 3, then you'll start getting the Paladin skills at normal levels.
What about when you're max level? At that point is there no opportunity to change class and get the other skills?
There is a new kind of seal that can be used on maximum level, fully promoted units which lets them level up five more times. No idea if there's a limit to the amount of times one can use these seals on a given unit, but I only ever got to use one on Corrin during the final chapter of Birthright.
Yeah you have to plan carefully if you're thinking of min-maxing. If you've hit max level in your promoted class then you can use an special seal to raise the level cap by 5 and then get other skills.
Pretty much although you can use an eternal seal to raise the level cap on advanced classes.

Finished chapter 10 of Birthright
I'm really enjoying the game but I'm having a hard time picking a good group to use. And I have no idea who I'm going to pair off. I don't really remember struggling this bad in Awakening deciding things. I just sort of have supports going everywhere. A few are progressing past the early stages.
Basically I just feel so disorganized compared to how I was in Awakening. But I am enjoying the game and the maps do feel a lot better than Awakening.

Yeah I appreciate Conquest's limited ability to grind. I'm worrying less about who's a good character and just going with who I like. For a first playthrough I'm not so worried about min-maxing anyway. It's definitely not required to beat the main game (I hope, still on Chapter 17 of Conquest). I do feel like I'm missing out on a lot of Nohr-side characters though. Without the ability to grind I won't get to see if they're any good. One good thing about Awakening was that you could see the vast majority of content in one playthrough. There's good way that I can see to be able to view all the support conversations for all the Nohr units.
Seems like people switch once or go straight to promotion. Seals are a limited resource to start, but even once you can just keep buying them, they're so expensive that just switching and switching and switching doesn't really seem feasible.
That makes me feel a lot better honestly. Thanks.
You can do that but the thing is, if you reclass a unit, even if they're promoted they're still gonna receive skills in the order that you would normally get them from the base class. So if you reclass a newly promoted unit or level 20 base unit you have to keep in mind you're screwing them out of the skills that they would get from normal promotion route until you change them back. I'd say the best time to reclass is either right when you get a unit or after they've already maxed out everything after promotion but the latter is likely to take a lot of effort.
If you buy the Birthright path DLC from the main menu before you do Chapter 6, yes.
I think this seems to be the formula but just to triple confirm it's (Variable parent’s growth rates + Child’s growth rates) / 2? i'm a eugenicist.
No point in switching back and forth all the time. You're better off buying skills from castles online. Hell i disabled my attacking castles when i found out it's better to share skills with the community. The whole once per day thing is kinda BS, but with how hilarious easy it is to do i can understand why. I've already got Miracle, Replicate, Rend Heaven, Aegis and Pavise on my avatar, all from buying them online from different castles and i haven't even promoted yet.

No problem.
Hinoka with the bolt Naginata is pretty powerful, especially paired with Sakura to boost mag. She's really great at taking down golems. Not as powerful as Felicia with flame shiruken though.
Woah, didn't know about that. So basically just get the class I want for each character and slowly get the skills I want from castles? Can I do that for each character or just the avatar?
You can do it for everyone! I think once more people actually get to know about this it'll grow the community even further.
I could kiss you.
Chapter 16 Birthright the
one has really made me appreciate my army's unnaturally high Res stat. Hinoka has 26 at unpromoted Level 18. I can throw her face first in front of just about any Magic-wielding group, it's great.
Then Sakura had 21 Res AND 20 Def when paired up with Silas. Not sure on base stats, but she's my MVP, man. So much damage to be so tanky.
I only have three more staple Units to promote now, Setsuna, Hinoka, and Takumi.
Defense Stance is so strong. I won't say it's broken, but it's so easy to game the system with it since enemies can't Pair Up during battle. I'd rather not see that, though, so it's good with me.
Despite having the SE, I'm probably going to look at the games as completely separate. So I'll play through Birthright as I am now, then likely put a ton of time into My Castle/Supports/min-maxing my Castle team. It'll be a number of weeks before hopping in to Conquest. I don't want all three games to blend together as one in my mind, and while three FE games is a good thing, there is such a thing as too much in one small timeframe. I can still be playing a "New" game on the Fates engine months from now. That sounds great.
I say that now. I may start Conquest within one week or some ridiculously short amount of time after beating Birthright. But for now sticking to the plan above looks like where I'm going.

Forgot to add you have to fight them in their castle and disable handicap and win( but most people don't have their stuff set to attacking if they're skill trading)to buy the skill.
Needs to be a T-Shirt with a battle forecast that shows one side clearly winning, but the other side has 1% Crit. Below it have the text "Crit happens".
That sucks.

So... that's the explanation we're going with for the children? Okay then... I married Silas and Azura together and just finished
paralogue. Wasn't that bad to be honest.

I enjoyed the shifting boats thing.
So you're buying Birthright digital?

if only
Kitsune is cute but it relies too much on speed.
I'm sorry, as I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but i'm kind of bummed you can't look at the character models when you invite characters back to your place. I don't want to rub them with a stylus and make them blush, but it would be nice to see their character model for longer than 2 seconds.

wait, Corrin can transform into the dragon? i only played it at chapter 5 and then no mention if you could transform again
You can use the dragonstone. I think that is what they are talking about.

You have a dragonstone.
(which is pretty ass btw, unless you can one shot things with it your offense is crippled)
