Haitaka loses his cool custom colors after promoting... I threw a new helmet and a shoulder pad accessory on him to attempt to improve his promoted look though.
Flora joins later, yes.

Upgrade the fireball magic defense tower to level 3, and then afterwards go to any battle - story chapter, paralogue, DLC, castle battle... After you finish the battle, there'll be a quick scene where Flora appears in the castle and joins your party.
And Kaze can't equip them right? that makes him worthless in the long run
time to replace him with Arthur I guess.

Just finished Birthright
Maybe I'll go back and do it again, but I'm really eager to start Conquest.
I wasn't expecting a point of no return without a save or exit. Was Garon's skill going to prevent me from one-shotting him in the first turn no matter what? I would have hoped that a Rend Heaven crit would end it, but it seemed like even then I couldn't do nearly enough damage to overcome that Dragonskin of his. In the end, Orochi died. RIP

Arthur is the best.
FOR JUSTICE!!!
I haven't had problems, but I play pretty defensively (basically everyone is paired up most of the time) and he is paired with Effie, so he seems pretty durable to me.
thanx, that's good to know.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Arthur SUCKS. He never hits anything. Charlotte and reclassed Beruka outclass him entirely.
Units can equip weapons from either side. If you're playing Birthright and you want to buy Conquest weapons you can just visit a player castle from the other side and buy it from their Dusk Armory.

So, got to the boss of conquest 24, but damn she is so hard. None of my units have good odds of even hitting her, and then one of the few units I had capable of taking her damage fairly well got hit by luna and died, so I had to restart D:

I hope this is the right place to ask this, but say I want to buy the physical version of Conquest but want to play through the Birthright path first, is that possible?
So I buy the Conquest cartridge, download the Birthright DLC, then am I given a choice at Ch. 6 of which side to pick?

You missed the hope his luck doesn't affect his level ups. My Arthur was true to his character, and got absolutely horrible level ups, getting no speed, but plenty of skill and res. Hell, he gained more luck than speed, that is how bad it was (3 luck I think). That early on, both are utterly useless, and try as I might he just wouldn't get speed. I ended up dropping him soon after. Maybe if I do Conquest again, I'll make a better effort for justice. At least I can get his supports.
High hit units will love it, and its downside is removed if you have at least 1 unit to tag up with. For example, Killer Weapon, Gamble, Death Blow and high skill basically means you always crit. Utterly useless on Fighters though, since Axes have low hit...

If it makes you guys feel any better, my Orochi is lv 20+4 and her spd is 11...
Not in the plot but in Supports and an upcoming DLC.

Oddly enough, my arthur at this point is on pace to match yours... kind of.
14 Str, 8 Spd, 15 Def, 31 hp, level 13. Sadly, I'm on Chapter 13 of Conquest, and I've mostly decided on my team (no fighters since Beruka and Camilla are more than enough).
Keaton's are crazier.
His amazing treasures! Mozu and Keaton supports are cute.

AARRRRGGGGHHHH paralogues on Conquest side are impossible if you leave them for the later chapters
I visited another persons castle and saw the weirdest damn thing. I went to their arena and Keaton was going to fight, ok fine go ahead. They had changed him to, sorry can't remember exactly but it was either cavalier or paladin, not sure, he was on a horse with an iron lance. I was already at that point 'huh, ok, thats weird" but then all I could do was laugh as I watched the battle play out. He missed every damn attack he made, just whiff whiff whiff. And then he would just twirl around on his horse after backing up for what seemed like a minute after every attack and do nothing. It was the weirdest damn thing and I couldn't help but think whoever did this was trying to troll visitors.

I once had a Ryouma vs swordmaster fight where them dodging each other eventually made them switch sides when the swordmaster dashed through Ryouma. I was pleasantly surprised that the game didn't break like it possibly could've.
She's great with Takumi, too.
Had some time to play again today. Got to chapter 14 in birthright and chapter 10 in conquest.
Birthright:
Chapter 11 was pretty cool. Had to reset 13 because I left Hinoka in range of a certain asshole wielding a killer ax, and naturally, it crit on the first hit.
In love with spear fighters, they're so damn good at debuffing. And Oboro is chill so that's a plus.

Conquest:
After having to reset a few times last week, methodically going through chapter 9 was nice. Really like the last two phases of the map. Remembering how Silas got killed by the shining bow asshole because he stood next to the wall last time--as I pulled the same enemy with my high-res ninja Corrin to break up the dual attack death squad--felt good.
Played 10 and I wish I'd leveled up Mozu. That just seemed like a huge pain at the time, given that in her paralogue, I paired her up with Effie to boost her strength and her damage against the Faceless went from 0 to 1. I think I can wrap it up tomorrow evening though; I'll have to give up the ballista in the middle, and spread the army into two packs, with Elise covering one bulk of the units with her greater movement rage while Felicia tends Niles and Silas (paired up with Arthur I guess?) on the east ballista. Sending Felicia there lets the two take advantage of her -2 damage aura for male units, while Elise covers the other lot with her personal skill.
Effie's stat growth has been outstanding, +str and def on almost every level. If she was a spear fighter instead of a knight she'd be perfect.

The ones with Mozu were great

Can anyone help me with this specific situation? I bought Birthright and Gamestop and they gave us a download code for Conquest. I'm going to New York for Spring Break and want to play one, and my brother wants to play the other on his 3DS.
How does it work with cross over content for us? I guess since it saves on the cart, after I beat Birthright I can put it on my brother 3DS and get whatever bonuses then if he has conquest downloaded?

Finally completed Birthright Chapter 11 (Hard Classic). Extremely satisfying.
. He forced me to use Setsuna + Takumi to kill him.
BTW, the cutscene
Then, when I see the map full of enemies...
The Boss is strong in close quarter with a killer weapon on hand
BTW, the cutscene
before Birthright Chapter 12 is very cool.
I'm a euro playing through Awakening again while waiting for Fates. From Chapter 16 onwards (on hard) it feels like the difficulty is entirely provided by reinforcements spawning all over the place every turn and going after your weakest unit. Feels like you have to 'learn the level' or 'learn what happens every turn' rather than planning by what you see, and that's BS.
Please tell me this focus on same-turn reinforcements is gone in Fates. I can't stand it.

Fates has reinforcements, but not same-turn reinforcements. That "mechanic" is bullshit and will always be bullshit.

I have no idea what to do with the surplus of ninja's you get in Birthright. Yeah debuffs are cool but after Felicia and Kaze I can't see a reason to bring any more debuff characters.
