got like, three paragraphs deep into speculating on how a fifth EVERYBODY'S FRIENDS NOW route would even work before I realized I was basically outlining some fanfiction
anways: overall I don't know how it would work at all, given...everything, and I'm fairly certain it wouldn't be good from a story perspective, or at the very least it'd be worse than any of the main paths, unless they take some WILD swings
ouch. Having to ice Flayn and Seteth wasn't fun, but I never got real close to either of em. Alois hurt though. Especially with his last words being to call out to Jeralt that he'd protected the monastery
Jesus.
I've never had a showdown with Alois—I guess that only makes sense.
I think you got the best experience possible by going through and being made to feel the act of killing these characters, and to be clear I have no idea if there's any way for Alois to live through that fight, but Seteth and Flayn can if you defeat them with Byleth.
Umbral Steel is fairly commonly dropped when breaking the shields of giant beasts, particularly wolves (I think). It's also often a reward for auxiliary battles that advertise "ore" as the reward for completing it, and in those cases you get like 10.
Have you tried using Raging Storm with Edelgard's special weapon?
I defeated Seteth with Byleth, but by that point I'd already killed Flayn with Petra and I assume if one of them is already dead the other cannot be talked down
I haven't been doing a lot of the monster auxillaries because I find them fairly tedious to fight - I don't think I've even seen a wolf
Also let me just say Dorothea is disgustingly strong. Meteor is the dumbest spell ever. I have her with the range +1 item so she can nuke from miles away. Last night, still in the first part of the game, she nuked a dude for 130damage (he had like 30 hp) and the meteor also has an AoE?!?!?! that kabumed the guy next to them.
Okay, I have this game now, so I'll be starting it after work tomorrow. Going Golden Deer because I'm entirely on board with shooting monarchy in the face, but otherwise I have less than no idea what's in store. I played maybe an hour of Awakening and my biggest exposure to Fire Emblem was via Tokyo Mirage Sessions.
So...this is going to be a bit interesting I think
It should be said that all of the three lords are about breaking the status quo in their own ways, to varying degrees

The events of January. That's the only way to get everyone to come together I think. Have her not go away.
i haven't started fighting the blue lions in my BE game yet but so far i'd say the way to do an "everyone's friends" route would be
pretty much the same as the crimson rose route, but maybe if you recruit enough GD people/don't kill them during the Leicester campaign, you convince Claude to join you
and then something similar for Dimitri, you convince him to unite with you against the church, and then the final act of the game involves fighting on two fronts: the church on one and the spooky boyz* on the other
*i refuse to call them "those who slither in the dark." Go shove yourself in a locker Hubert, It is beneath me to do it for you

As someone a bit shy of the midpoint on Deer right now, yea Claude is awesome so far. This team is just exactly what I was hoping for when I picked them.

That's a good plan! That's a good plan.
Later on you'll want to play Black Eagles for a more intense version of that.
Sided with Edelgard because the church seemed sketchy as shit but now I'm killing golden deer kids. Am I on the bad guy route on accident? Oops.
This happens on every route. You'll always end up fighting kids from other classes.
If you want to avoid it on the bridge map in particular, go after Judith. You can also spare some people by defeating them as Byleth (this will come up later). But some people you won't be able to get around killing.

There is no way to not wind up killing some of the kids who don't side with you, regardless of house. Because that's war. But you are certainly on the better of the two Black Eagle paths, I would say. Certainly the one where Edelgard's ambitions are most tempered by your influence
Byleth themself does not have to kill any student, except for maybe Hubert? I think Hubert might be a must-kill on a map.
no, I think on the
siezing the bridge mission you have to kill Ferdinand and someone else.
You can have either recruited them, or if you had a high enough support with them and attack them with Byleth they can be recruited right there and then!

My plan to make Linhardt my dancer hit a bit of a snag when I realized that he had a base charisma of three. Thankfully I checked and mine has gained more charisma than magic in his ten levels, so it's fine I guess.
I finished up the chapter 5 story battle and I'm feeling better about my house's growth. Bernadetta and Dorothea have caught up and actually mastered their tier 1 jobs (I was starting to think that nobody would), and Ingrid joined unexpectedly and is doing alright so far.
I have no idea what to do with myself in chapter 6. Monday's a holiday, everyone is motivated, and I don't think I need any more B supports for recruitment. I guess I'll...actually train Byleth? Feels wierd.
By the way, how valuable are monster sightings on the calendar? Should I be going out of my way for them?

They can be a good way to get ore and levels early on
One of the thigns about them is that the rare monsters have a chance, on map generation, to be carrying a rusted weapon that can be refined into an A-tier weapon like Mercurius, which you can see when looking at the monster's inventory. You can RNG manipulate this (very clumsily) by exiting back out to the mission select screen and then going back in
The more I play bleagles the more I realize that I think I'd put Edelgard near the bottom of characters I really like
Like Ferdinand's still at the very bottom, and I like Edelgard, but I mean, Lindhardt, Bernie, Dorothea, Petra? C'mon.
I've come around on Ferdinand the more of his supports I've gotten, especially with people outside of BEagles (Lorenz and his B support is real good, for both of them actually)
A couple of his post-timeskip supports are real good too

They are very good for a couple reasons. The ore as mentioned above. You need that ore to repair and make some of the best weapons. You primarily get it from these fights.
It is also the way to get some of the best weapons in game. They drop rusted weapons that can be turned into super weapons. You can reroll the rusted weapons as many times as you want until it turns into a super weapon of the kind you would like by just leaving and re-entering the fight. So deffo don't miss the monster sightings if you want lots of ore and rad weapons.
i'm like 3 chapters from the end of the game and caspar is still in the "maybe if i weaken some bad guys to let him score kills he can level up and be good" phase
him and ferdinand both are like 15 points behind everyone else in strength

I had to power level Caspar to around 28 and make him an Armored Knight for him to even have a chance of surviving his Paralogue.
It didn't help that I recruited him by chance about a chapter before it'd be too late and he was only 21 or 22 when that paralogue recommends 29.

try to raise the skill they want to E+ at least, that helps too with B support
Last night I flipped out because I realized I paired everyone off and Edelgard gets nobody.
Unless I power her supports with like...Caspar. Who I completely ignored because he had the worst rolls the entire time.
He's the Rinkah of the Black Eagles, in that I want to like him but he kinda sucks as a character for me

She’s definitely at the bottom for me, and that’s honestly with setting any Blions bias aside.
I suppose from a story/character perspective that Hubert is also towards the bottom by association, but I am biased towards Hubert for his
Be mine and Mori’s spoopy boyfriend
I almost want to, but I blame Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
It definitely doesn’t feel as if it ought to be an option!
Oh please Hubert would never marry Edelgard. Their relationship is purely professional.
