I dont think I can beat conquest 24
That barrage of kinshi knights are too much
What difficulty are you playing? I had trouble with that one, until I learned how to approach it.
First turn, I placed Niles on the top so he can defeat the 3 mages on the enemy phase, then I went back to the middle to tank the upcoming flyers, after dealing with those, I took out the enemies on the island on the left.
After that it was just slowly advancing as the reinforcements came in, they will stop coming after a while, around turn 8. After that, the future reinforcements will only come when you get close to Setsuna and Hinoka. So I baited Azama's hex rod with pair up support units, and then baited Setsuna. That's the only time I needed to use DV to shorten the Flyer's movement range as more will appear when you are in Setsuna's range. The tricky thing is making sure to take her out next turn and that your weak units wont die to the remaining ground units. After that, it should be easy, more reinforcements will when you approach Hinoka, and you can use DV again if you can't beat her before they reach you.

The DLC classes like Dread Fighter go all the way to 40 so it doesn't matter.
Wow that is awesome. Thanks.

I hate Lunatic Conquest 17. I get so close but the NPC gets ambushed by surprise reinforcements. I can understand a Ninja map. I can understand shifting walls. I can even understand escort missions. But what possessed ID to put all three in one?
Severely underlevel in Conquest chapter 19.
I don't like to bench people, so I level every one up evenly. Now they are all level 16-17, while the enemy are all upperclass. Even the free DLC is too difficult for my team.
I guess I have to break my rule of never changing one's class before level 20.

Is anyone else a fan of Rinkah's supports, or do most people find them annoying? I've really enjoyed them so far (Kaze C, Silas C, Kaden A, Orochi A), but maybe it's also because I really like her in general.
Anyway, after almost a week off, I came back today to plow through Birthright 21. Trying to pair people up finally as I don't have a single S support for anyone. Don't think I'll be going for all the children as I still plan to play through Conquest and Revelations in a row right after this.

But you don't have to keep him alive though?
I love Rinkah's supports. They're great. I am also a big fan of Rinkah herself, so that's another reason why.

You do if you want a free speedwings.
Those late reinforcements on that chapter though. I don't know if they show up on turn numbers or when you reach a certain point, but god damn it. Had the map nearly clear, managed to block in the NPC so he couldn't kill himself, got the second treasure chest... then surprise reinforcements. Didn't have space to move everyone away from them, and lol 3% crit.
I suppose the one "upside" is that I get to get all those levels again. Because my levels during that attempt were awful, most of them only got one or two stats up.

Chapter 17 on Conquest and now I just starting to feel the difficulty spike on this campaign. Looks like I'll have to promote some units after all before reaching lvl 20.
By the way, after I finish this campaign and start a new one, can I carry over data/characters/etc for the new side? Or do I start from zero?

never knew that..
I let him die on 4th or 5th turn during my play through. I basically led him into a horde of enemies and blocked his escape route lol.

Something I just thought of about Conquest Chapter 14 in relation to Birthright
Also, Keaton is adorable, and I made Fem!Corrin S-Rank with him
When I read that Garon wants all singers of the city/place disposed of, I immediately thought "RIP Layla (The singer Azura substitutes for in Birthright)"

Dragon Vein either triggers on where most of your forces are or Corrin, didn't stick around long enough to find out. The alleys are probably safe. A Beast Killer/Armorslayer and an archer/mage might be useful.
I spent about 20 hours to grind out all the support for the parents, then the children popped up. I just gave up.

Glad I'm not the only one. Her design might be my favorite out of all of Hoshido side.
One of the worst things about Conquest is not having Rinka in my squad
I hope the story doesn't make me kill her

What? There are dlc exclusive classes? And they level higher than default? Are they game breaking? If this is all outlined in the OP just respond OP haha but any synopsis is appreciated.

Sakura is better at punching people in the face than Rinkah, think about that.
Yes
Yes. Though keep in mind that a level 40 special class is equivalent to a level 20 promoted class.
It depends. One of them (the upcoming Witch class) is seemingly OP, but the rest should be fine.
Rinkah and Benny produce an Ignarius (General) that is nearly invulnerable to all physical attacks. It's awesome.

Are they all part of the dlc season pass or have to be purchased separately?
If you wait until Chapter 18 onward, each child comes with an Offspring Seal that allows for a upgrade to an advanced class, plus some additional levels to make them catch up with the rest of your party. Do that.

I wonder how Offspring Seals work mechanically. Do they just sim a certain number of level ups to get the child up to an appropriate level?
They should be, yes.
That said, the Great Lord and Lodestar classes can be obtained from the free DLC, "Before Awakening."

This game/series is really fucking up my playing other games and backlog clearing.
Ridiculously, I finally bought a ps4 recently, hooked it up, bought several games.......
....and then settled back down to play FE. My wife was like "why the fuck did you even spend $500 bucks when you are just gonna play with your 3ds?"
It's just so fun!

Do I have to beat chapter 18? Or just having access to chapter 18 is enough?
Not sure. Beat it just to be sure.
You have to beat 18, so it's really before Chapter 19

Rinkah is like, the best girl. Other than Kagero of course. Don't let her cook you any meals, though.
I'd also nominate Oboro and Selena. Selena's B support conversation with Laslow killed me.

Yeah, the Offspring Seal automatically levels up your kids to a level appropriate to the story chapter you were at when you got them.
It's pretty much the same as you leveling them up, but with less variance (and no need to feed kills).
The_Darkest_Red
Member
See, the less variance part is interesting to me. We know that the mother of a child affects their growth rates, so if the level ups from an Offspring Seal were simulated based on their true growth rates you should have a high probability of getting a different stat distribution on your level x child compared to another player's level x child with a different mom.
Here's an example of what I'm getting at. I plan on pairing Odin and Nyx which will give Ophelia a great Mag growth rate thanks to her mom. If I get that paralogue fairly far into the story and use an Offspring Seal to get her to, let's say, Level ~5 Sorcerer, will it consider that great Mag growth rate in her simulated level ups, or will every Level ~5 Ophelia sorcerer from an Offspring Seal be identical (or at least created from the same base Growth Rates)?
I know this is deep in the weeds but FE mechanics are just fun to figure out, haha.

I've been curious about this too and I've been doing some experiments and taking some notes. It seems that the Offspring Seals do take the Child's current growth rates into account. I know this because I checked what my Mozu!Sophie's stats would be like after an Offspring Seal with Aptitude equipped and unequipped, and her Def and Res were one point higher each with Aptitude equipped. My Mozu!Sophie also had completely different stats than my Selena!Sophie from my prior Conquest playthrough, even though I got both of them after completing Birthright and Conquest's respective Chapter 18s for the earliest possible access to Offspring Seals.

This is great stuff, thanks for sharing!
I was surprised at how little trouble I had on that map. The shifting walls made it easy to manipulate the NPC so that he would take the longest path through the map and even on Lunatic he could take some hits vs the weaker Ninjas to stall him more. Every time I wanted to change the walls to slow him down it also happened to line up with when I wanted to change the walls to block off enemies from my main group. And he never ran into the reinforcements.
Honestly, I found it to be a very interesting map with how it played out. I could see it easily becoming frustrating, but it ended up working beautifully.
Constant enemy unit support in Conquest end game was cheap as fuck
as if the boss's fuck everything in it's way blunt move wasn't bad enough.
didn't even bother attacking the boss with Corrin for her dialogue I just wanted to end all of this.
phew
Revelation better not be as ridiculously hard.
