Activity Log. Now cry. Cry a lot.
Thanks for the tip. I'm gonna try that.
No problem! I think the biggest thing is
leaving the middle mountain alone. The four guys on it won't move at all until attacked or the mountain is taken down.

I wonder how well Haitaka will hold up. So far, he has been useful though. Either way, I plan to take him to the end of this Nohr run if he doesn't fall behind too badly.
They have their own models, battle voices, exclusive weapons (which lose to the Avatar's, Ryoma's and Marx's but still are pretty good), give 2 exclusive accessories and also can take care of My Castle stores (and make a new weapon available when they're in the weapon shop).
They don't appear for most other My Castle stuff though, still have no supports, and they can only class change with the DLC seals.

Nothing but he doesn't activate the dragon vein which helps a lot.
Sorry for the spoiler I'll hid that immediately
Shun said they do restock.
Took me a while, but I'm starting chapter 9 and I'm back in the flow of Fire Emblem. Using Mozu as a Dread Fighter was a fantastic idea, having her able to use three weapon colors makes her super versatile. Gave her the Raider Sword I got as a visitation reward, so good!
As for the Amiibos, if you can borrow them you just need to have them visit three times, on the third they ask to fight and show up as a battle on the map. AFAIK you don't need them again once that happens, but I need to level a smidge more before taking them on and confirm it.

They are shitty but not as shitty as Awakening. (And they got their personal weapons and their own class)
So I've been enjoying my time with Conquest on hard classic so far and I'm at chapter 8 right now but I was wondering if anyone else knows about this but I changed Felicia's class to dread and I just realized that she's level 28 now.
She was level 7 before this. I'm just curious to know what happened because bit doesn't make sense that a class change would level her up so much.

Orochi's been pretty good for me, Rinkah has been the absolute worst. I thought at the begining it was just because she was low leveled and everyone was pretty much doing shit damage but now I have people doing 15-20+ and shes maybe 3 levels lower and still doing single digits, I paired her with Kaze and if they weren't already at A support I would have stopped using her 5 chapters ago (just reached 15).

Dread Fighter is a 40 level class, rather than the usual ones with 20 levels. Felicia starts as a maid, which is a promoted class, so when you changed her to Dread Fighter, those 20 invisible levels became visible (Felicia has 20 extra levels above the standard level cap though, so don't worry about her low initial stats).

So do I make Effie a Great Knight or a General? I'm thinking General but I just wanna make sure.

Great Knight, General is a bad class and the skill it gets will hurt her speed advantage that she has.
Also I find myself in a bit of a predicament. I just got Sophie (at chapter 14) and her bases are way better than Silas's in every aspect, pretty much the only thing he has going for him is weapon ranks, but I'm not sure if his S-Support with Hinoka is worth keeping him around instead of Sophie. At this point, he's pretty much been a Rinkah-level hard support for Hinoka so I'm not sure if support bonuses on her outweighs having a really good combat unit.
Ah Alright that makes sense now thanks. Didn't know that maid was already a promoted class. I don't remeber this happening in awakening so the high level caught me off guard.
Well,
the Nohr siblings are all right, if a bit eccentric. They and Corrin were raised in a crappy desolate land with an evil asshat for a father. So I assume they just don't know any different, if that's all they've ever known. None of the royal kids seem to find it weird that their own father threatens them all the time. lol. Corrin is like overly dumb and naive though. I don't know how he/she acts on the Birthright side.

It's because when you class change in Awakening your (visible) level was always reset to 1. You keep the same level in Fates (aside from promotions with the Master Seal).
No only when you upgrade your store level. It won't at the beginning.
At level 2 you get a couple more items, at level 3 most of the items you need are unlimited.
General is a garbage class in every FE game. The only reason you would in this game is for a certain skill that prevents double attacks on both sides so it negates your speed advantage.
There is an item later in the game to increase your level cap by 5 each time. I have a lv. 99 Felicia in my JP save.
Rinkah is entirely at the mercy of the rng and her dicey str growth. If she doesn't get above her average she's going to be doing barely any damage 10 levels later. Her sole redeeming feature is her support bonuses so I'd recommend just taping her to Kaze and forgetting her about her at this point
I've been playing Nohr on hard/classic, and I've gotta say... it's pretty hard! Feels a lot more challenging than Awakening. I'll probably play Hoshido when I'm done; I guess that's the one that's billed as more like Awakening.
I really like the variety of units in this game, and the little flavor differences between the two sides. Great game so far; really strikingly different from this year's other big SRPG (Xcom 2). It probably doesn't bear comparing the two in depth, but FE's snappiness and polish are super refreshing.

PSA for people who want to use the Dread Fighter/Dark Pegasus class.
The stats growths are terrible on those classes and it's better to reclass those special classes last for certain skills.
How much do you value extra DLC classes, gold/exp grinding, Anna, and some fan service and challenges?

I did the exact same thing and have been sitting here all morning debating whether to go buy another 3DS for this and Project X Zone. There are 3 games coming out next week that I really want to play though so thats why its a tough call right now.

Got some bad news for ya, buddy...
You needed to buy one game as DLC for the other. You would've saved $20 too.

Yeah, full digital conquest and physical birthright wont work together
Youre better off returning physical birthright and unlocking digital birthright for $20
Got it! Thanks for clearing things up for me.

Saw someone earlier say to reach an A-rank support with Kaze before his child's Paralogue opened up after Chapter 15 in Birthright. Was at a B-rank with Kaze at Chapter 15. Decided to pair him up with the Avatar that mission to reach the A-rank.
Found out why someone said that after Chapter 15 ended.

I am not very happy. He was probably one of my best units. Feel like I wasted a Master Seal AND I miss out on a Paralogue. Oh, well, this playthrough was meant to be a blind run without grinding.

Yah I kind of figured this was the case. I wasn't strong enough to wait 3 days
. Thanks for answer thoughHaha finally someone who got caught. It's worth seeing at least once.

So if you recruit someone from a Castle Invasion, are they treated as that character or are they basically like a DLC puppet, i.e. no social links, romances, etc.
I had to play to chapter 6, go to dragons gate, activate the other version, and even then I had to restart to get the gifts. Its wonky

Well, I was at the B-rank when I read that. Am I supposed to just go for A-rank with everyone then? I usually try to keep people working in their support pairs and naturally those two units were the ones I could count on to stray from the group and get things done.
Spoilers
No that's basically the only time. It's worth it to experience the pain of Kaze dying once. Then going back and realizing you should have treated him better and keep him for the rest of the game.
Reminder that you can capture enemies and certain bosses and throw them in your prison dungeon if you kill them with Orochi or Niles.
Before the game released we were wondering which would have more posts, Hoshido Ch. 15, Conquest Ch. 10, or Mozume is broken.

Man it's kinda hard to get supports in this game, only one person has gotten married and it was Corrin and Felicia.
And he could've married Elffie or Azura as well.
I should really start Pairing up more often, because my offensive approach is making the fights end way too fast.

There are three maps without stories (remakes of a Radiant Dawn, Shadow Dragon and Gaiden maps) where you get new classes, the other DLC maps all have stories so far. Either way, none of the DLC pack is available for download yet outside of Japan.
Just made it to the select point myself and agree Nohr could have been handled way better. Nohr King being a warmongering shit with no real motive in those precious early chapters really hurt this critical decision. Bummer really as the concept of choosing a faction is great, but they kind of fucked it up. In a sense they could have gone all-in by just making Nohr the 'evil' campaign since clearly this isn't a grey choice, but the writers made the Nohr kids naive and blind to even pull that off(and they didn't really do a great job showing Corrin's attachment to Nohr in those prologue chapters either). Bummer this was handled kind of poorly, but whatever.

I almost didn't save so I could go correct the situation. And I don't really want to use nameless enemies in my army. One of my favorite things about Fire Emblem are the characters and their personalities.
There is an item later in the game to increase your level cap by 5 each time. I have a lv. 99 Felicia in my JP save.
Level 99 and still only 37 strength
It's just for people who want EVERY unique character.
NeonZ posted his Haitaka earlier. You can capture him and use him.
bruh that is what magic is for

You don't get equipment though, just the units themselves.

I'm not sure if this is unintentional or what but I completely cheesed through Birthright Chapter 12 using a Pegasus knight.

Well, I will remedy this in my next Birthright playthrough. I still don't think I want to use the capture mechanic until a second playthrough each route. I already have trouble narrowing down which units to use each mission.
