Fire Emblem Fates |OT| Nohr does what Hoshidon't

Really? That's some crappy scaling then because I'm playing on normal/casual and haven't lost a single character in any mission yet, but this child paralogue utterly rekt all of my A-team. By the time I had only half of my team still alive, 5 more waves of enemies spawned after that. I'd positive that this child mission is mathematically impossible to finish at this point. (I'm at chapter 11 of Birthright, child is called Kana)

Kana's is probably one of the hardest ones

Hm, fair enough. I guess I'll wait till I master sealed some of my characters to better classes then, because my team definitely ain't good enough even if I wanted to abuse the fact I'm playing on casual.

Peri is legitimately amazing, holy shit. Godlike character design, amazing supports, uh... reasonably decent growths; strong personal skill to cap it off. I love it.
 
Got to the point where I had to choose my path, started with Birthright, and got to Chapter 7. I wish I had more time to play this instead of a chapter or two at a time right now.
 
Conquest 8 is starting to infuriate me. It's not that it's hard, but rather RNG just has not given me a break all day. Hard/Classic here.

8 is pretty hard. Are you trying to get 3 villages for the max bonus? I did it, but I noticed it made it way harder since a large percentage of deaths were from the small group of characters I sent to get the bottom left village
 
Now that's I've married Kaden and gotten both of the kids, can't decide if I want to reclass Selkie into a Nohr Princess or go Nine Tails.

Maybe spoilers?

In Hinoka/M!Corrin's B-rank support conversation,
it's mentioned that Hinoka has a different mother. The problem is that the conversation takes this information as a given, when it's literally the first time I've heard it.

Is this information ever normally introduced? It seems a little weird, and I can't help but wonder if this is something else that was lost in the localization.

Hey so I played Awakening on Normal/Classic difficulty and enjoyed myself. For these two new ones, what would you say their Normal modes are like? Similar to Awakening? Easier/harder?

Birthright is pretty comparable, maybe a little bit tougher.

Edit: Just saw where you said Normal, while my experience is based on Hard. I'd still wager that they're pretty comparable

Conquest 18 was by far the hardest for me so far. Good lord this game is rough. Idk if I can do 10 more chapters lol it's so hard

It wasn't so bad... Until Kaze toon a 45% hit to the face followed by a 75%. Ded

Edit:

I finally got THE CHIN OF JUSTICE's child. Percy is gooood.

Paralogue 2

Went all according to plan. Promoted Kaden once he hit level 20 during combat and he started wrecking magic fools harder. Oboro is my wall and she's the best ever. Silas just dropping fools like usual and trying to level up Saizo for catching up. The end was a bit of a surprise but I had Silas, Oboro and Takumi all luckily posted up.

Kana's too cute! And HE GOT THE LAST SKILL I GOT, WHICH WAS DRAGON WARD SINCE I LEVELED UP. RIP ASTRA

I can absolutely not beat Paralouge 7

Shiro always ends up killing himself as soon as he gets a turn and I can't get anyone in rescue range without having that person immediately get killed.

I pretty much had to rush Ryoma in as fast as possible for that one. You might want to utilize pair ups and dancer to maximize his movement. Luckily, Ryoma is a fucking beast and can easily survive being stranded behind enemy lines

I don't think it ever is, at least not around the time you get Hinoka.
S-rank is where it gets a little clearer explanation. I'm still only on Chapter 22 Birthright and it hasn't really come up again.
 
At what chapter you finish in Birthright can the Smithy upgrade, I want to make a Iron Bow +3 for Setstuna.

I just beat Chapter 13 and upgraded my weapon shops, got the flame shuriken for Felicia, and now she's ready to burn some people.

14 or 15 IIRC so pretty soon.
 
Thinking about using female Avatar for the conquest run eventually. Does your avatar sex change anything story / character wise? Without heavy spoilers of course.

Okay, that's Chapter 13 of Conquest (Hard/Classic) wrapped up. I was dreading something a lot harder than what I got, going by some internet talk, especially after how grueling Chapter 12 got for me. But like, after the first wave, you can take that mission at an incredibly comfortable pace. Nothing will come for you unless you want them to, so you can take your sweet time with baiting and repositioning.
Scarlet's a problem, of course, but only if you let her attack on her terms. You can just bait her in with the Wyvern Riders guarding her and then just blow her up the next turn, then pick off her escort with Niles or Mozu. Reinforcements aren't even a factor after that unless you put someone like Azura really far out of position
.

Was just overall a fun, satisfying mission. About as close to leisurely as I've yet gotten in Nohr. :v
 
Man Conquest 10 was sooooo much fun. Figuring out how to deploy resources was great and having each character with a defined role was fantastic and just tons of fun to figure out the optimal deployment of. Reclassing Corrin to Cavalier was one of the best decisions I've ever made, I don't think I could have beaten this without it. Elise's Freeze staff was also the hero with stopping nasty pegs when needed. Niles was a big contributor, having Beruka/Selena clog the left side helped a lot, Nyx with the magic siege was really useful, Effie was not as helpful as you might think because armor move is so bad but her one shotting pegs was really great. Camilla is also insanely good, if anyone hadn't figured that out yet.
