You're supposed to use gambits to break shields. You just need two units with big AoE gambit to break most shields.

Oh, OK, thanks! I've managed to break the shields of two monsters on the map I'm on (a Monsters in x cleanup battle) so that's something.
I also read that you can buy them from travellers, which is a feature I've completely neglected until now.
You need to break monster shields to get the ore to repair relic weapons though... I cannot which monster it is though.
Do the math.
The basics are Dmg = Atk - Prt (or Atk - Rsl for magical attacks).
The trickier part is comparing AS (attack speed), but bar some cheap abilities (like the Pegasi ones giving a +6 AS boost on offensive moves) that's rather simple too (if AS >= AS + 4 then double attack occurs).
I took 45h on my first.
The game goes faster as you keep playing because a lot of stuff is repetitive by the time you get to chapter 12.
huuuuuh
When a gambit boost happens, the unit that assist you can't attack anymore?
Mercedes can't attack at all despite being able to move and heal
(Yes her bow is equipped)

I'm 57 hours in and I'm at chapter 15 so I'm with you. BE route.
I'm a bit confused by Divine Pulse. I used it 5 times to avoid a 31% hit but I keep on getting hit, am I unlucky or is it not just RNG?
Question about Sothis:
I've seen videos where she's actually playable. I just beat the Golden Deer route and she wasn't. Is this something only hackers have accessed so far, or does it happen in a specific route?
The RNG has already been seeded -- to get another roll you need to change the circumstances (move units adjacent for better dodge rate etc) or give up on taking that hit that turn.
Percentages are rolled at the start of a battle to prevent pulse scumming.
HELP. IMPORTANT PLEASE HELP.
Hit, Crit Chance and Level ups are slightly static, unless you change things up more.
If you go back further or if you equip something else or if you change your approach - then the hit chance gets recalculated. But if you repeat the exact same move over and over, the result will stay the same.
Level ups are set at the beginning of the battle too, so if you really hate a level up, you need to turn back time, then not have that unit level up in this battle at all to hope for better luck next time.
I recruited Ashe before time skip, I can save him, if I kill him with Byleth, right? RIGHT?

I've completed Edelgard's route and have a lot of questions that haven't been answered which I'm assuming are covered by the other scenarios.. the only issue is it took me like 60 odd hours to beat this and I don't really have that kind of time to put into a further three routes. Is there a decent summary of them anywhere?
I can't stop laughing at post-time skip Dimitri. His attitude and looks are just so hilariously exaggerated. I'm surprised no one has just knocked him out and put him in a jail cell. I'm hoping Felix will eventually, but I'm not crossing my fingers.
I didn't mind that the rat king had gone feral, he was a beast on the battlefield anyway.
That fact, that we apparently still invited him to strategy meetings, and tried to get his input on important discussions, that he usually just ended with "I'M GOING TO KILL HER" and then we actually went along with him, that was what rubbed me the wrong way.
I mean, on the other hand, relying on Byleth for decisions doesn't seem to be the most sound tactic either.
When they gave me a choice on where to attack next, I literally stared at the options and asked myself "shit, I wasn't paying attention, where are these places exactly??".

FE4, actually!
...of course that was when horses were at their absolute best
Horses better be great in a game when 90% of your army is a mounted class, and the maps are 4x the size of normal fe maps.
had to combine a few with more general requests but here's a few!
If you're talking the Petra/Bernie one, you can trick the enemy into popping up earlier by moving someone ahead, then turtle up in preparation. Have Bernie take on the boss since she can hit her safely.
In new game plus if you scanned a FE amiibo, you get an option which summons Sothis to the field to give everyone a Res up buff, but that's the extent of her playability normally
How essential is equipping shields as your accessory to running armored kights? Edelgarde has been letting some damage slip in and I'm wondering if its because I got a goddess ring on her instead of a shield, or if she has just been missing a few def level ups.
First FE game I own and play and the mock battle is already giving me a headache.
Is there an explanation why I keep getting alot of counterattacks from an enemy when I attack? Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, but I can't figure out why.

Golden deer route done. I say a aspect of it should had ended sooner
Now it time hang with cool ladies of Eagles.
Fight with Nemesis felt like it was there just to be a victory lap
The Speed stat determines if a unit attacks twice in a turn or not. If they outspeed your unit by more than 2 points, then they will hit twice. Likewise if your units outspeed them by more than 2 then you attack twice. The order of attacks always alternate, unless using a special weapon, like gauntlets or brave weapons, in which can they attack twice in succession.
As someone said, percentages are rolled at the start so people don't cheat their way out of it, but I've noticed using a Divine Pulse to drastically change my turn can lead to a different outcome regarding people getting hit at low hit percentages.
I agree but I can't be too mad since it gave us God-Shattering Star.
My guess is that after every action on the player turn rng is rerolled for everyone left on the field. That's why a 90% attack can miss, you divine pulse, then do someone else's 70% attack that does hit, then you go back to that 90% and it hits this time.
Blue Lions Ch. 17 was amazing. Also holy fuck that music. The map themes in the timeskip are just so fucking good
162 hours played & my 2nd route is done. Golden Deer route was pretty damn fun! Definitely enjoyed getting some more answers after I started with the Edelgard route in my 1st run. Time for Blue Lions and to figure out what exactly happened in Dimitri's past & during the tragedy of Duscur. I've really enjoyed using the Blue Lions cast members in previous runs, so I'm super excited for this run.
This is my first FE game and I'm enjoying it a lot so far. I can only play a couple of hours a day so progress isn't that fast but I just finished chapter 8. Since I found all the systems and game mechanics a bit intimidating to begin with I'm playing on normal/casual to avoid any frustrations on my first run. And while it was nice starting out easy, now that I'm familiar with all the mechanics of the game I'm finding it a bit on the easy side, but that's ok for the first run as I'm having fun. Playing Black Eagles <3
I thought Edelgard was crazy strong as an armored knight, but now that I've made her a wyvern rider she's straight up broken. She does insane damage, shrugs off most damage and has long reach every turn. If I "park" her in a cluster of enemies they'll just suicide on her on their next turn. Byleth is also a powerhouse as a Swordmaster.
Many of the support scenes in this game are genuinely funny, sad etc. I quite like the cast of students with all their issues and quirks. Hubert is one of my favorites, I like his "charming" personality :)
I've done three paralogues so far and I like those missions a lot. I've also recruited 5-6 students outside my house. Not sure I want to recruit more during this first run as that's just more micromanagement.
I'm really happy that I picked up this game, it's one of favorite games on the system so far.

Finally beat Golden deers. I have to agree with that should have ended a bit sooner since the last 2 months were basically useless. I thought you would get something for doing all the quests but nope, nothing.
Black eagles or blue lions...I kind of want to save blue lions for last just so I can be with Ingrid and Sylvain again without recruiting.
Also, did I miss something but who the fuck was Jeritza? Like he was in the game in the beginning but...then disappears? I guess I have to play the other routes to find out. My guess is he's the death knight. Also what happened to Gilbert? I kept him alive but never saw him again after the time skip.

Pegasus Knight growth modifiers:
Falcon Knight growth modifiers:
lmao
Not really complaining though, but yeah, definitely working on that flying stat
It's kind of funny considering they balanced cavalry pretty decently with its enormous speed growth detraction, yet flying classes are over here like "Trade off? What?" haha
Should've given PK/FK a STR and/or DEF deficit, and WM/WL a SPD and/or RES deficit.
Eh, mine haven't been nearly as long as others' reports. BL final chapter took me 10 turns, and BE E... I forget, maybe 11-13?
My best tip for RNG is the try to time level ups to near the end of battles. If you don't like the stat gain, you can time hop back and have someone else get the kill. The rng changes by battle, so I used this to turn some bad rolls into good ones.
Yes. Dunno if it is all characters that do it, but Claude/Byleth, yes.
Ingrid has been getting a str boost on every level since she changed to FK and is hitting as hard as my Felix is now. FK is a stupidly good class.
It's been a bit jarring going from a lot of BE's supports having pretty crucial world building, to GD's supports being mostly jokey/we're going to detail this one aspect of character X slowly over the next 3 conversations, buckle in.
I mean, I like the gang and all but I haven't had any "holy shit" moments like Petra/Caspar, Dorothea/anyone, Edelgard/Hubert... the closest has probably been Ignatz/Raphael. Granted I already got Lysithea's and Marianne's BE supports so I already know their deal, but I'm also finding their homeroom supports less impactful than their BE ones oddly enough. Hope the B/A supports step it up.
