I can't wait to see everyone finish Conquest/15. It's the most blatant "we didn't know how to make the story do what we wanted, so here's a plot device" I've seen in ages.

Conquest, Chapter 10: WOOOOOOOW. I never had to retry a mission on Awakening, but it took me 3 to beat this one. So many reinforcements. @-@

Reminds me of when I was walking around my fucking college campus with my 3DS and got a grand total of ONE street pass after passing by a million people. This was a few years ago.
Everybody plays at home now lol

Takumi does so much damage at base dayum, he's going to OHKO ninjas for me now.
Give Kaden the Dracoshield you should have gotten in the previous chapters. It's pretty much meant for him.
I just promoted him to Sniper. Kicks all kinds of ass especially with the ignore terrain part of his bow. He's becoming my second favorite archer in the series behind based Shinon.

Man I am 100% garbage at this game. Well, maybe not that bad, but still pretty terrible. Its hard getting used to not pairing everyone up 100% of the time. Finally realized that the reason I was getting overwhelmed with enemies is because by pairing everyone up I was only getting have the moves I could have lol.
Btw, to the child paralogues change in difficulty at all over time? I'm slightly under leveled to do the ones I have right now.

Archers in general are pretty insane this time around. Takumi and Setsuna are completely ridiculous so far
Don't fret about ally characters biting it before Chapter 6.
Chapter 4/Birthright
Did anyone else find that first battle where you're the dragon to be a little difficult? I had constant hits where the enemies hit rate was 60 and under and they would still annihilate me :/ Also since Ryoma was an ally and uncontrollable, he fell on the very last turn ._.

Setsuna wasn't complete garbage but she can't double anything at base and so was just kind of meh chip, Orochi and the ninjas have been much better options for 2-range (especially since they're 1-2 range).
But now Takumi shows up and is OHKOing ninjas what a champ.
This is also on Lunatic so maybe Setsuna is much more usable on lower difficulties.

I didn't have a ton of trouble, but it has been the hardest chapter so far.
Same spoilers as above.
Ryoma is pretty much guaranteed to die, don't worry about him. He retreats.

they seem to have a set difficulty from what I've seen. Because I did the one for mine early on in the game (got S rank fairly quick in conquest for 3-4 couples already), and mine was an absolute nightmare. I was actually googling to see if it was infinite mobs because it seemed like it.
The child paralogues do scale in level as you progress through the campaign (and so do the kids). But they also vary in difficulty amongst themselves; like the rest of Conquest, the kid paralogues for Conquest characters tend to be more difficult than the ones for shared characters. (And I assume Birthright ones as well.)
You'd be surprised how a little more training can make a difference though. I couldn't crack Odin's kid's paralogue for ages, let it go for a while, then came back late in the game and steamrolled it even though the enemies had continued leveling.

I cannot beat Conquest Chapter 10 to save my life, theres just way too many enemies and its already hard enough having to deal with not letting my units die but having to deal with archers and ninjas is just utter bullshit. I'm seriously close to just turning the difficulty down to normal to see if that even changes anything.

I'm looking at my support log for Corrin, what does the H by Azura mean?
Azura has 3 different supports depending on the Route. You need to support grind with her A LOT if you want to read all the different conversations.
Are you playing Birthright? I think it stand for Hoshido.
Keep your units clumped in the starting area until you've drawn out all the aggressive enemies. The traps are trash and not at all worth overreaching to try and set off. Keeping units adjacent to kill the ninjas in one round before they can debuff you was a lot more useful than pairing up for stat boosts

Glad I'm not the only one. I feel like I've played the chapter with just about every strategy conceivable. Turtling at the top of the map and guarding the narrow chokepoints with tanks seems to be the best approach but I keep making one dumb move after a string of successes that creates a fatal opening for another goddamn ninja.

To go back to my comments on Chapter 10: Odin+Nyx abusing the Magic Turret twice (if you position Azura next to them) just makes everything wonderful since you can bring any units coming in from the left to almost 1 HP and by the time they get close, you can obliterate them with any unit close enough.
It would have been easier if I had another archer, but I haven't used Mozu at all and the thought of turning her into an archer didn't cross my mind until after the fact. Thankfully between
, no Pegasus Knights went without punishment. Honestly, the first time I lost it was because Arthur died to a crit and I wasn't having that. Second time I was sort of stupid because I thought the enemy had to occupy all 4 squares, not just one.

All of my sitty level ups happen at the end of chapters.
Yay I beat the boss!
*Only a single stat goes up*
Fuck you too game.

It seems like save scumming won't work. I remember I resetted a few times because of bad tactics and all of my units lved up the way I saw them did before reloading.
I noticed that too. I just try to stop them from leveling if possible, though it's a pain in the ass.

Bizarre. That seems like the inverse of everything I've heard.
Oh, Conquest was reviewed by someone else... interesting. And nice to hear good things about Revelations. For some reason I'd considered it an afterthought.

I beat it at the first try but took an hour or so lol. Basically guarding the starting position and rotating defenders until the reinforcements are done, then move *very* slowly towards the end, engaging only one or two enemies at a time if possible. The traps can be ignored since I have three healers and Sakura can negate them somewhat. You can also pair up units to minimize damaged unit from the trap.
Chapter Seven Birthright, so I'm early on, but this story's writing still sucks. So. Much.
And the voice work for a number of characters leaves much to be desired as well.
The character interactions in Support? They're fine so far. And the banter between Jakob and Fredrick in the Awakening DLC made me chuckle, two caretakers having a petty argument on a battlefield. But the story is horrible.
I also hate Ryoma. He's just dumb.
Speaking of the Awakening DLC up there, WHAT IS WITH THE TELEPORTING NINJAS. They chain-swapped places with Chrom to move him half across the field, and ended up killing him in the one turn. Then they followed up with Corrin.
Guess I'll be holding that one off until I level a bit more.
I think I'm too jaded with this game. I am having fun, and balance is definitely better. The Pair mechanic is a lot more engaging now. But I can't help but notice and get caught up paying attention to all these negative things. My list is so much longer. ;-;

Conquest's story alone is why it deserves to be last.
The story is awful in Birthright too.
Fair enough. I can barely handle FE story in even the 'best written' games, so I guess I can ignore such criticism.

That is true, but Conquest's extremely dumb plot device and the constant whining from the MC make Birthright look that much better in comparison.

I'm on that chapter will finish it tomorrow
but the way you're saying it makes it seem like a manga writer would automatically mean it'd be a well written story
Fair enough. I'm just surprised it's so bad that it makes you like it less despite the better gameplay.
