Thanks for this! Yeah so far in the story,
Corrin seems delusional. I dont know why hes trying to get his fathers approval so much, its obvious Garon wants him dead. Even Xander understood this in chapter 7. I guess he wants to talk-no-jutsu Garon until he changes.
I'm glad it isn't as black and white as the trailers literally made it out to be.

I really feel like Classic Mode on Conquest is made for a SECOND playthrough. I feel like you need to go through the game once in order to get a grip on which characters expendable and what you need to do on each map.
I played Classic for the first 9 chapters, it's a lot of smashing your head against the wall. I'd be willing to go all the way on a second playthrough once I know which characters are okay to let die, and which ones I need to keep alive for endgame, and also get a general feel for each map.

Birthright is easier and more accessible of the two. Fans of Awakening will prefer that over Conquest.
Oh. I wanted to get Birthright cause I thought the Japanese Aesthetic looked cool.
Is Birthright just that much easier or can you turn up the difficulty?
It's much much much easier than Conquest and closer to Awakening and that's more appealing to most I guess.
you can grind forever in Birth right
and we all know what grinding does in alot of rpgs.
Effie was bad in both my Conquest and Revelations playthroughs. In the beginning of Conquest she was good but she never got any speed so she would get x2 and even x4 because of follow up attacks so I shelved her in the last few chapters. In Revelations in particular she's like 6-7 levels below Benny and you get them in the same chapter.
Edit: I just saw your other post. So the difficulty is less because you're able to grind?

Yup, You can change the difficulty but there is more variety in mission types on Conquest. Birthright was a lot of "rout the enemy" like Awakening.
The aesthetic is really nice though. Birthright also lets you grind your units for levelling and supports.
No not just that
pretty much every chapter can be ended by just killing the boss/leader
no complex/limited chapters like: finish the battle in 10 turns or stay alive against endless enemies in 15 turns ... etc.
also not a single paired enemy units lol.
edit: not sure about this one but I think there are slightly more enemy units per chapter and they have higher movements.

Conquest 25
Also is there only one flame shuriken in the entire game for conquest? Because If so I think my felicia is boned.
Wanted to do it legit instead of crushing Ryoma. The ninjas on the right are complete bullshit, 40% of your health gets sapped just by entering into combat with their 3 range shurikens and they have an accuracy of 63% through shuriken breaker.\
Had to sacrifice someone to kill the club man and get the ninjas out of position so everyone else could bum rush the ninjas. Having Niles put a crit arrow through Kagero's head has never felt more satisfying.

I think I may go with Conquest then!
I would abuse the fuck out of grinding.

I beat it in 4 turns because Corrin decided to activate Dragon Fang and Critcal at same time twice. I felt like a cheater since I was rather underpower.
Not sure if I understand your question?
If you are asking how many people to invest in, I guess it depends how many people you let die? Missions so far have allowed anywhere from 2 to 12 people deployed for the battle. I already have 25 characters in my army and about half of them I have not used since the map they joined on.

You can always download Birthright after youre done with Conquest. Though if you plan on getting Revelation as well, that includes most of the supports and characters from both versions.
There's really no trick to it I could give you. It's a rout map, but there's no way to counteract the way the Dragon Veins are used except to catch up with the boss and kill them. And if you do that, you're at the tail end of the mission anyway because they're so well-covered.
What I did was pair everyone up to start and keep them that way for the whole fight. I moved my two best pairs up since they could take hits and generally dodge most attacks aimed at them and kept the bulk of my party in the middle lane. The DV keeps coming, but with healers and a couple concoctions for everyone you should be able to keep a good portion of them alive.
Make sure you talk to
Arthur or Effie
The other two pairs basically infiltrate that last lane. The boss won't trigger the DV since that's the lesser group of your forces and they always aim to hit the most targets.
Hope that helps!

Okay there's a way to 2-turn Conquest Endgame right? Anyone want to share?

Went through the early chapters and a few birthright missions on lunatic since I'm stuck on my conquest playthough. So far so good. I've only had to reset once or twice each mission.

Video isn't mine, but here you go.
It involves a lot of antics with pair up and rescue staves, and you'll have to be able to beat him in one go.
I didn't have what it takes to use this strategy and ended up getting it in 5 turns.
edit: beaten
Not there yet, but I'm so bookmarking your post
considering Birthright's endgame was challenging even after grinding I'm just gonna guess that Conquest endgame is a nightmare.
Your main party grows as you progress through the game, not only because you get more characters to play with, but because you get more slots per battle. Now, there are some chapters in conquest that want you to use as many units as posible to defend (like chapterss 7, 10), generally I try to have the same ammount of untis as the maximun per stage minus 1 or 2.
Now about something else, I've been grinding supports a bit and I dont understand Azura, it's like she doenst really have a character.
Yeah I keep hearing Beruka is a pretty good unit, but Beruka has been not so great for me so far. After 4 level ups she hasn't gotten a single extra point of STR or SPD

She's a great support character.
For Pairup and rally defense
Beruka has like 10 level ups + Promotion to catch up to Camilla or just get throw under the bus, mine didnt do so well so I just use Camilla

Nuts, Shura and Elise are my only C staffers and I don't have anyone with pass. Oh well I guess.
I think I farmed my self into easy street in Birthright. I kept finishing Paralogues and daily challenges, unlocking more Paralogues and so forth. I am enjoying the game but it is weird with the Private Quarters stuff and the accelerated growth of kids.
I didn't get into the relationships and kids stuff in Awakening so I decided to go full board with it in this game. I really wish it was handled better...

Only about a little less than half of the Birthright chapters are Defeat the Boss.

Recruit Nina and use the Offspring Seal to make her an Adventurer.

I'm scrub tier and made her a Bow Knight, will keep in mind how much better she is the next time I do this.

you could always have Nina or Niles go through 2 levels as an Adventurer and then arms scroll them if you still have paralogues left
Sadly I don't have enough space on my 3DS to download either version.
Luckily a shop nearby had Conquest so I walked over there and picked it up.
Edit:
So I'm starting up, should I just go with Hard?
Finished with Birthright. Just started Conquest and it feels pretty bad. I wish the choice between the two was more morally ambiguous, there's literally no reason to support Nohr whatsoever.
Can I skip Conquest for Revelation or would I be missing a lot of important story beats?

Hard is actually hard in Conquest, not the actual "normal" (unlike in Birthright and Awakening). So, if you choose it, keep that in mind.
The reason is to stay alongside the family that Corin grew up with, not to actually support Nohr's cause, although Corrin ends up forced to do that anyway.
Hm... I see. Okay, I think I will go Hard/Casual. Since this is the first Fire Emblem I've played in a while. So I want a challenge but I don't want to lose my troops. XD
