    So small question. Is there any way to get Aether on male Morgan? Mostly just wondering what to do with him and Lucina since they have such an absurdly massive class list thanks to hooking up the Avatar and Chrom.

    Nope. Rightful King. Have Luna and Ignis instead of Aether though, your offense will be roughly as powerful. Other skills depend on the final class, and everything depends on asset/flaw

    Not even close.

    Aether is two hits, one of which is luna. On almost any enemy outside the strongest one's name, a bonus hit does more than the bonus from a proc skill. And a bonus hit ON TOP of a skill proc? Yeah. Yeah.

    Mind, toss on aggressor, and the damage comparison gets closer.

    Aggressor's pretty nice.

    Luna procs twice as much as aether tho. But really all you need is ignis or luna, both is pretty overkill. Of course ignis/aether would be ideal, but you should be fine without it.

    aether has half the activate rate. it's nothing special without rightful king to boost it up. I mean lethality instantly kills everything! doesn't mean it's good.

    With good skill, you can get Aether above 30%, easy. That's a proc rate where you can rely on multiple activations every enemy phase. It's not guaranteed healing when you need it, but it's good enough to count on.

    Lethality's at 25% skill, and doesn't work on ANYTHING you'd really want it for.

    Well I finally leveled Donnel to level 20... Should i use a master seal on him now that i got his level 15 skill? Also, he is currently paired with Targa (the dark mage), is it a good choice or should i pair him with someone else?

    Tharja's alright. Use a second seal, master seal won't work. That makes him a merc, and merc Donny is terrifying.

    Use a Second Seal to turn him into a Mercenary and then unleash the beast.

    Tharja's a fine partner for him.

    Funny supports, useful boosts, one more Galeforce.

    Are some or all DLC set to certain modes? They seem Casual, so far.
    But the enemies in Golden Gaffe are pretty tough for the first third or so of the game. But they are almost always pretty good EXP

    Ranged vs nonranged is pretty easy as soon as you can at least hit the things.

    They can dodge well after the gain levels and promote, which I think works well with the purpose of healer, to heal things and NOT be near the fighting until they unlock tomes (or axes, as a possibilitiy in this game)

    Possible fathers for Severa:

    Stahl
    Ricken
    Virion

    Leaning toward Stahl here, their support is all right

    Is Virion's support with Cordelia just super great???

    Champions of Yore 3 was out yesterday because today is a holiday in Germany.

    Maybe go to the wireless menu Bonus Box and hit Update now first? I bought the map individually yesterday, it was weird cos when I hit the Outrealm gate it said that there was an update for one of my packs even though there wasn't.

    The DLC uses the same settings as your campaign. If you're playing on classic, deaths in DLC count "for real". Likewise, enemy stats depend on the difficulty setting. I'm not sure whether DLC enemies get the Lunatic+ skills, though (I've heard they don't, but haven't checked myself).

    It's pretty great, yeah. All of Virion's supports are awesome.

    This is because he is a trap father to everyone but Inigo.

    Goodness knows why they wrote some of Cordelia, Tharja, and to a lesser extent, Henry's S supports the way they did. "Yeah I know you're not really into me but marry me anyway?"

    What's the problem with Virion? His stats seem mostly fine

  • ShenShen Registered User regular
    He just doesn't offer any exciting classes like Myrmidon, Mercenary, Sorcerer or Great Knight. Tome/Bowfaire is about the best he can offer, which are worse than Aggressor on sons and less likely to make a difference than AS+2 on daughters.

    He has lifetaker, Swordbreaker, Lancebreaker, Deliverer, Bowbreaker, and some good final classes

  • ShenShen Registered User regular
    Lifetaker's cool; Severa already has that though. Bowbreaker is worse than Aegis or Iote's Shield, but Swordbreaker and Deliverer are handy on some builds. Wouldn't use any of his classes save Sage.

    It would allow her to get that really funny Sword/Axe/Lancebreaker combo

    We're past the point, though, Stahl and Cordelia played their duet

    dN0T6ur.png
  • ArdorArdor Registered User regular
    Tomebreaker and Swordbreaker tend to top my "useful -breaker skills" charts because the classes who typically use vengeance against you, use those weapon types. It's always nice not to have someone deal +50 damage to you.

  • ShenShen Registered User regular
    Swordbreaker? More like BRAVE LANCE TO THE FACE. Breaker.

    Cynthia went from relative zero to big damn hero once she learned Galeforce and I reclassed her to Paladin.

    So, in the states we got the first future of despair map today.

    Alternate future Cynthia and Kjelle are alright, but man. Keeping Nah alive will be a pain. Going to see if Rescue staves work. If not, well, this is going to be one of those multiple attempt jobbies.

    It looks like the stats of the kids is based on the stats of their parents, just like their recruitment maps in the main timeline. If you're having a hard time of it, go grind up the mums and dads.

    I was talking about just in general. Virion is far from ideal for Severa, but he works well for Yarne and Inigo and he's above okay for Owain and Kjelle

  • ShenShen Registered User regular
    Yeah, it's something like (Mum's stat gains + Dad's stat gains + Kid's base stats)/3 + Class base stats

    So Virion is a good Inigo dad? Cool. And I'll thing I'll make Stahl or Libra Brady's dad. I still have Virion, Stahl, Kellam, Libra and Fred unmarried.

    You killed my father.
    Prepare to die.

    Yes, someone has to make Virion the father and then get him killed, then have Inigo kill him! IT IS WRITTEN.

    Unless their name isn't actually Inigo...

    Welp, ninth attempt was the charm, it seems. Finally beat Chapter 11 again. It's worth noting that this was my third run, and my second run on Hard, which gave me an equivalent amount of trouble.

    I am so bad at this game.

    Guys, Lunatic is *hard*. I'm on chapter 2 and almost everyone dies in one hit. This reminds me of RD on hard, because everyone is super squishy except the Jeigan, who is still pretty damn squishy.

    Got down to 2 enemies left once, but avatar missed a 70% attack to kill an enemy, I had nobody left to kill it, then he took someone out. So close!

    RD on hard is in fact that game's maniac/lunatic mode.
