One will drop from an enemy soon enough, just check before each fight. Plus you can buy them anyway in like 5 or 6 chapters, but I am very positive that one will drop from an enemy.

The only thing I don't like about Panne is that she is always weak to beastslayers weapons, even is she is not in her taguel class.

I benched her once I got Nowi. I ended up liking Manaketes better anyways.
Yeah, I somehow got a Dragonstone+ pretty early on (before Nowi's chapter, even) so I went all-in with her.
Manaketes are awesome anyhow
Nowi is awesome. I paired her with Kellam this run, I was not prepared for the imaginary incest (Japan you crazy). That said I went through with it because it's a beastly combo defensively.
You don't see them often though but you're right.
But Panne's stacked. Nowi is... Nowi.

The grandmaster skill ignis should be my units first priority always, rally spectrum is good if you're a fan of the rally skill. If your my unit is male I always pass down ignis none of the male only skills are really worth the effort unless you want to pass on counter for a street pass team which you shouldn't worry about. How you handle everything for making an elite street pass team is so different from an in game/dlc team that you don't have to worry about it.
If your my unit is female always pass down galeforce.
And for the record manaketes blow tanguels out of the water. I really don't understand why is included both in the same game with the exact same mechanics outside of continuity

Pretty much, yeah. Manaketes are a cool concept, but I'm not a huge fan of having frail lolis in my war party. I just like Panne's appearance and personality over the other shape-shifters. She a lot more different than you'd expect when you first meet her.
Good to know - I'll focus on Ignis before I do anything else. Thanks.

I was running out of her beaststone at that point anyways. Then I ditched Nowi for Tiki.
Why would you run out of stones!?
I tend to be carefull at using them anyways, just last hitting enemies and the like until I get close to the ch. with the store
I don't know why we're running out of stones but we just are!!
That's what I do too but mostly for Panne since she can actually 2x enemies but that takes up an extra use. Not so much for Nowi because she's strong enough to blow my pants away without needing to 2x.
Also since I played on hard, Panne was not that good when she joined, so I needed to babysit her a lot. I had 10 uses left on my last stone before getting to the shop in my current playthrough.
pssh that's why you reclass Panne into a Wyvern Rider as soon as you can and go home.
But but.. The riders man. So many riders and the Beastbane!
(In my first and second playthrough I got her to Rogue -> Assasin)

They kept attacking her man! I can't help it.
Who? Nowi? Well yeah, she's in demand. There's definitely a market for her out there.

She x2 hits just about every enemy she encounters - enemies see Panne and they just want to hit her, I guess.

The enemy AI is programed to target the character with the lowest health or the one they can do the most damage to. It's a reason why summoners were broken in Fire Emblem Sacred Stones their summons always had 1HP and mediocre defense so the enemy AI would always go after them first made most fights a joke.
Yeah. I also like how the AI makes a BEELINE for defenseless villagers, rather than attacking the people who can actually hurt them.

I can't believe I managed to save one of those guys (with Rescue). Was there any advantage to that?
Saving one grants you a item that gives you +5to hp
Saving the other 2 gives you two more items that are worthless.
Is that a recent pic of your Tiki?
I remember when you posted your Tiki a while back and I asked why she didn't any other skills.
fast forward to today and she still doesn't have any skills
But I do wish Manaketes have higher speed. It's cool that they have high str and good defenses.

I remember in the DS games the AI was so intent on killing mages they would run straight at Linde who would proceed to one-shot them, when there were some other units they could have easily killed, or at least survived another turn to make life harder for me.

I've been raising supports for Female Morgan.
Her level of sweetness is really really through the roof. Got her to S-Rank with Inigo; their entire support was very very adorable (I saved but then reloaded though, want to see her S-Rank with other kids as well). Her current convo with Owain up to A was very adorable too, as is her support with Nah and Noire. Looking forward to seeing her support convo with other kids; the best one will marry her, I guess (
)
Speaking of which, Noire cracked me up with her crazy outbursts--she's just too funny, and Nah was just overall cool and composed, a total contrast to her mother, which was just awesome.
Gonna be hard to decide which kid is gonna paired with which kid.
Out of those only Lifetaker or Tomefaire, maybe. Shame...
Also seeing characters with so little support option like Tiki or Say'ri kind of makes me feel bad about them; enough to contemplate marrying the Avatar to them just so they don't get too lonely ;___; Tiki especially: her story was just sad.
IIRC I have played 5 (the one with Roy and Lilina if I'm not mistaken), the one with Eliwood and Co, Ephraim and Co, Fire Emblem 12, and a bit of Shadow Dragon plus Radiant Dawn. The last two I didn't really enjoy due to their stilted support convo; Shadow Dragon especially--this game felt really dry.
Huh. My observation thus far for AI priority: 1st the one they can damage the most/kill, 2nd if all things equal the ones with less defense/magic resistance, and 3rd anyone else within their range.

Awakening is the same way, but with Tharja. She could be next to someone with 1 hp and the AI will go for Tharja (and get 1-shot) instead of the sure kill. It's baffling.
That would be 6, not 5 for Roy's game.
You can farm DLC skills but you're on the wrong DLC. Lost Bloodlines 3 gives Paragon, not Smash Brethren 1.
It's the very same photo as last time. I'm working to make sure that Tiki gets at least a couple good skills from the options available to her on this run, though. It's a bit more costly to grind in Hard, though.Is that a recent pic of your Tiki?

is it seriously? lol I feel foolish.
Easy Streetpass + Paragon still nets you 16 exp per kill at the very least although this isn't viable in Lunatic. Even better if you do it on Lost Bloodlines 3 since there's 50 enemies.
50 x 16 = 800 exp = 8 levels per run
Get him to level 15, then second seal him to merc. From there he'll start wrecking face, once he hit's 10 or so he'll start capping stats so upgrade him to hero and watch him be just that. A hero.

Villager can go to 30, but I've heard no one actually bothered to level him up as villager that much. Some people stopped at 10, some at 15 just to get the final Villager skill before switching him to something else. He'll max stats very easily due to the Aptitude skill, so no worries.
Villager -> Mercenary -> Hero is very popular, due to the availability of Armsthrift. With his usually very high luck (can easily reach 40), he can have 80% probability of not reducing weapon use every time he attacks, which is just ridiculous especially if you give him something like Brave Swords or Killing Edges.
His very high skills also make him proc Sol (from Hero) very often (like, almost 50% every time he attacks) giving him back health that he lost; that is, if he even lost any since almost all enemies can't hit him anyways (or those that do only hit for like 1-2 damage)
Okay cool, thanks for the tips! I think I'll level him to 15 and then promote.
