it's especially amazing when you've got a partner in attack stance who also misses

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
Planning on following up Birthright with Conquest Hard and then an Iron Man run of Revelation Hard. We'll see if I can stick to my convictions.
Happens to me all the time. I swear this game changed the % formula
That would hurt so much, lol
Fortunately I should still finish this map (Conquest 13) unless RNG really hates me... Just have to finish off the reinforcements.
Also I realize I had Peri go from 13 to 17 on this map (which means she's gone up seven levels in two chapters, lol)

At least this isn't X-Com.
Too true.
Anywho, finished Conquest 13 (H/Cla). In spite of Niles missing those shots, Camilla was able to come in and clean up. If she didn't kill that enemy, it would have killed Azura on its turn.
From then on there were just some mounted units who Peri and Effie stomped through.
Closest moment was
Scarlet
Birthright 14 (H/Cla) is next.
I will say I... probably like my Conquest unit lineup more.
I got all three versions with the JP 50% off sale, and have been playing Birthright for the most part. I also tried Conquest for a bit (normal-classic on both, and it's certainly harder due to the enemy numbers and strength, so I've gone back to Birthright and plan on finishing it before moving onto Conquest.
I haven't had much trouble following the plot with my still limited Japanese vocabulary (seeing Galon send Corrin to his death twice in the span of two chapters was hilarious), but the one thing I'm having trouble with is understanding allied and enemy abilities, like those Nosferatu in Conquest Ch7 that dealt damage to nearby units at times, or how some of my units would sometimes recover HP at the start of my turn.
Accesories look really out of place for most units though, and they appear to be expensive as hell given the limited means I have of generating gems and food so far. The prospect of accessories boosting stats is really weird though, since most of them look goody and/or out of place and actually give pretty relevant stat bonuses for equipping them; imagining a soldier of mine running around wrapped in a bath towel or a bikini/speedo and that actually raising their damage output is hilarious, but in a bad way IMO.

The towels only show up if your unit gets stripped anyway, which essentially never happens in the story battles.

whew, cleared conquest 17
the guest died cause i didn't notice there was a path to the right side of the map from the bottom but whatever, it's just a speedwing
that map also made me curse at everyone who ever suggested fire emblem should get ninjas

Birthright difficulty spike! So i used all status upgrade items on Ryoma (he is a beast) and bought some expensive from the shop.
Also, The Einjenhar can be very useful, i got one of Corrin and easily became one of my best units, i doubt i will get another though.

It may have. I've seen some people theorizing that Fates at least partially abandoned the weighted RNG of the last several games, but I can't be sure if that's the case.
I haven't seen anything to say 2RN was removed but I can't help but think something changed in the formula behind the scenes. I've missed more on one map than all of Awakening.
You kind of need to do it, but... Don't do it until after Saizo and Kagero are taken out, lol
Saizo's Flame Shuriken and Kagero's Sting Shruiken are dangerous.

what are in the chests anyway? The chapter was annoying me so much that I just chose to escape instead of getting the chest or fighting Ryouma

Chapter 22 conquest has been a bit frustrating. Got right near the end too only for Jacob to die D:
Gold and an Armorslayer.
DLC.
No, she's got it right. Azama is an asshole and I'll be glad to be rid of him once I get to Conquest.
c-calm down sakura!
How do you build that support anyway? Advance one till they can attack? Because otherwise, they're both healers that can't do anything other than that.
We need to wait till April.
Ugh, I've disliked all of Azama's support conversations to the point that I straight up skipped one last night. He's my healer, but I hope they let me kill him in Conquest.
Like 4k money and a armorslayer
Same. And 'm not wasting a Master Seal on his ass, so I'll promote Sakura before I attempt that Support.

I liked Azama's terrible hatefuck dynamic with Orochi, personally.
It's very "We can't stand each other....I guess let's bang?!"
It's very "We can't stand each other....I guess let's bang?!"
It's more than enough turns to clear most (if not all) of the map.
It's mainly there to get you moving. And smashing pots.
It poorly words it.
It makes you think that if you don't complete it in under 16 turns than you are forced to defeat the boss.
... Nope, it's either defeat the boss or escape in under 16 turns.
I beat it on Hard/Classic with no casualties + both chests (the left side chest being extremely valuable for chapter 13). I skipped the boss because I was like "4% chance to crit me? I don't wanna risk it..."
Also Peri's design is great D=
Yay! Violence!
Yeah 14 turns, says on the mission terms. And it's reasonable since
little sister what's her name is dying
c-calm down sakura!
Azama's a straight up dick. His support with Effie has him giving her shit for wanting to protect people.
But dear god, those growths.
Anna being a DLC unit is kind of genius, she would be proud.We need to wait till April.

It's straight up bullshit.
How do you not have The RNG Goddess in the game!?

Chapter 9 pulled a Fire Emblem on me last night, was basically done, but no, here's a 1% crit to destroy that unit and your motivation on the last turn.
Beat that though, onward to the infamous chapter 10. At a glance, it might be a good thing I haven't done anything with Mozu yet, heart seal for a bow before jumping to dread fighter might be a good idea to use that other ballista.

Anna is dabest. I will happily shell out $2 or $3 for her DLC.We need to wait till April.
You don't kill people in Conquest because Corrin doesn't allow it. You simply knock them out or they retreat.

Naw you do kill some of them.
Is pairing the suggested way to go? I struggle with some of the harder levels and tend to never pair-up. Should I be pairing?
