I used Stride plus warp on Ingrid and this map is on of the easiest paralogues.
What? You don't like being restricted to move only 2 squares while the enemy has free movement?
Yeah I think this lines up. Maybe it's only on holidays?
Thank you for the confirmation
That was my introduction to Paralogues in Three Houses. What a goddamn swerve that was.
Apparently Ignatz can become a decent Assassin... my experience is that he is completely useless and does so little damage that it might actually heal the person he's hitting. He took a seat from very early on and remained there.
So something interesting
My final two students to recruit were Annette and Lysithea. I shared a meal with them to try and push them closer to an a rank support since I already know even without going up a rank more points in = better odds. However after the meal the ! For new support showed up, but it wasn't next to anyone in my party. Annette because of however the game works went from not joining to joining after said meal (Lysithea still said no) but Annette had the support level with Lysithea. So apparently the game either can alert you to supports between characters not in your house that you activate, or can alert you to a support that someone outside of your house but CAN recruit is available.
Very curious to find out the fine details of the recruiting mechanics.

Bro what, Caspar was one of my absolute best units in my BE run through
What are you having him use?
If I do a new game plus, do I have to stick with the gender I chose previously or can I switch?
He is my Assassin on my GD playthrough and he is pretty great. He is not as good as Petra but let's face it no one is.
I love the complete polar opposite experiences folks are having with students on their playthroughs. Caspar and Ferdinand were both complete shit on my BE playthrough, I ran without a Brawler and I recruited Leonie to replace Ferdinand.
I plan on recruiting him for my GD run. He'll probably replace Lorenz or Ignatz.
I was the same way about those chapters, though I mostly wanted to smack Hubert and Edel around on my off hours. But as soon as I got the crazy eyes cutscene outta Rhea, my stubborn side was like "You're not the boss of me, lady." I did save my end of fight savegame in case I want to go back and see the church route down the road.
But as someone who enjoys gameplay first and story second, there's no way I'm just going to up and lose two of my strongest units just cause Rhea didn't get what she wanted outta me.
Then again, I don't get 100% behind anyone in this game cause all of them are derps in some way or the other. And Byleth being a poorly dressed blank slate murder factory who protects everyone in the Strike Force (even Ferdinand) doesn't make me want to preserve the societal status quo. Because I will forever be the outsider sensei.

I'm really sad that the character designers for modern Fire Emblem titles seem to have the worst taste in women's fashion ever. The female hero designs have steadily worsened over the years. At least it's not quite Camilla and Manuela level ridiculous yet.
BL chapter 17:
I couldn't bring myself to kill Bernie so I just beelined for Edelgard, Seteh one-shot her, then I was HOPING it would be over but no - so my Lysethia warped my Byleth straight into the middle of all the alliance folks in front of Claude and I one-shot him, forcing him to retreat. Nobody died all fight! lmao
Come to think of it, I don't think there's a single Black Eagles member who is less than a 4/5 unit. To wit:
Edelgard - Your rock
Hubie - One of the most broken mage nuke in the series. What Lilina fans pretend her character is actually like
Caspar - Will literally beat every enemy to death
Ferdinand - His growths are top class for a non-lord unit, and he can be made to do literally anything well.
Linhardt - Warp, Physic, Recover... this guy's got white magic on lock. But he also makes for a terrific offensive unit due to his strong wind spells (Excalibur!!!)
Bernadetta - Her signature ability and crest make her the best bow unit. You know, the game where Bow units are ridiculous good.
Petra - F-f-fast as hell, versatile duelist. Super reliable.
Dorothea - Capable mage, with some terrific ranged options (Physic and freaking Meteor), optimal dancer.
Best house

He seriously got no Strength gain as he leveled so he was hitting enemies for 9 damage, he was awwwwful for me.
Lmao me too though
And Chapter 13 be like:
"I know you really care about Rhea"
I do not give a shit about her lol, when did Byleth suddenly decide to start caring about her

Ignatz can be really good. +20 Hit innate, +20 Hit from Archer mastery means that as Sniper he can hit enemies way the fuck away in ways that anybody else in the game can't. His Str sucks, so you need to fish for targets that are softies or can get crit.
Cyril is about as good as Petra/Felix. Both of those two are off a bit in either Speed or Dex, but Cyril's growth rate is the max in both.
Personally I enjoyed FemRobin's look from Awakening. But FemByleth isn't doing anyone nay favors yeah
Are you trying to get Ingrid to the end? I just used it as a good place for xp and defeated all the enemies.
Such a great gambit honestly i'm surprised it's on an E rank battalion i feel wrong every time i use it on the early chapters.
Bernie I think needs either some lucky levels or a Brave Bow (or the Relic that goes with her crest) to really go ham, but since you can always get one for her, I'm comfortable putting her in a top tier slot. Caspar and Ferdie are marginal due to some weaker Growth %'s than the rest of the BE, IMO. Ferdinand is flexible, but if Caspar get some bad levels (which has a much higher chance of happening because of the aforementioned growths) he can fall off really easy.
I'm going for the merchant that spawns enemies and then I'm going down killing every enemy I see
They really could have put some more work into a lot of these Combat Arts animations. I really do like some of them but others are just laughable, you would think a Combat Art called Assassinate would look cool right? LOL nope...
Ah, yeah.
You can get Saint Indech's bow in one of the paralogues, though not hers, I think.
I'm curious what path did you take your Caspar on, mine was a War master and while he had really good strength his speed was kind of mediocre and he couldn't be left alone more than 2 battles without healing because he would die, maybe mine just got unlucky with levelups but i felt like he was definitely the weaker link on my team and the one i fed the most easy kills.
Is it called the Inexhaustible? Turns out you need Leonie and Lindhardt for the paralogue
Yeah, that's the one. I thought it might have been
Leonie's, but I wasn't certain. She's better off as a frontliner anyway IMO.
Bernie's really slacking for me as an archer compared to Claude and Leonie, despite her good ability and crest. But the RNG gods might not have been so kind with her.
Though I guess I'm comparing her to mounted archers.

No, you still have them.
Turn her into a Bow Knight
With Bernie, class promotions stat adjustments and Energy Drops will make up for her strength deficiencies. She has a 35% personal strength growth, so relying on luck isn't the way to about it imo. It's best to plan around her assuming you'll get strength screwed and go from there.
Ferdinand's growths aren't weaker than the rest of the BE. Dude has the second highest HP, strength and speed growths and tied for the highest defense (alongside Edelgard). Relative to the entire series he's a statistical juggernaut.
It's literally impossible for Caspar to be bad. Gauntlets are too effective in this game, so even if get strength screwed, promoting will auto-correct your stats to ensure you never totally fall off. Caspar picks up Death Blow super quick via Brigand and his signature skill and an accuracy ring ensures he pretty he never misses while beating enemies to death.
I actually made her a dancer because she was already my weakest link by then anyway and that's too usefullllll.
I benched Ferdie the moment I recruited Sylvain. Their growth rates are very similar so I think I got RNGed hard because Sylvain outclassed him in every possible way.
Caspar is built to be a brawler. His personal effectively gives him +10% accuracy to the enemy he targets (and it stacks with the accuracy ring).
Making him work pretty much comes down to picking up Death Blow from Brigand and sticking to a punch class and just beating things to death. People who have trouble with him probably made him an axe user (suboptimal) or split their focus.
OP
OP
Brave Bow guaranteeing Bernie doubles or quadruples *is* how I compensate for her Strength deficiencies lol - she's already getting the stat boosters, but you only get so many.
I hadn't considered the Brigand thing. Might be worth taking him back to that and grinding it up. Compared to the other top tier frontliners I still say he takes too much XP and effort, though.
Ferdy being second on everything is sort of his whole issue, IMO. Maybe relative to the rest of the series he's great, but relative to the rest of the Eagles and the other great units I'm poaching, I'm comfortable putting him down a tier.
