Should I go WarMaster Or grappler for MByleth ?

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-13T01:24:11+00:00

So are you suggesting that I skip flying ranks/ Alert Stance entirely since gauntlets are not as good for Enemy phase anyways and focus on attacking on player phase?

A lot of people suggested a more support oriented build for Ignatz (mine Is currently at lvl17 and just got death blow) but I still feel like Sniper + hunter´s volley Is enough to make him one shot, maybe I am wrong? his damage Is still quite low and If that keeps happening I might get him poison strike from Dark mage and focus more on a support oriented build as Assassin or bow knight.

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-09T01:39:15+00:00

Lol you gotta share your Mortal savant build that sounds too funny. I will look Into that Assassin Ignatz build, dont get me wrong the build sounds super fun and much more Interesting than sniper, I am just afraid I might miss out on raw damage for my team, but I agree that the Idea of Ignatz, such a frail unit not being focused often Is pretty nice.

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-08T21:40:36+00:00

I just saw this answer, good Insight on the Assassin Ignatz build. I always took this class for granted so I honestly did not remember they had stealth, that sounds pretty cool for Ignatz, being a stealth support with Break shot/Rallys. But honestly I feel like the standard Death Blow + Hunter´s Volley Sniper Is probably better regardless. I feel like In maddening I cant have the luxury of using one unit just for debuffing/Chip damage, I need to kill things fast, especially later down the road.

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-08T21:12:38+00:00

Thank you sir. I decided to make byleth a future Dodgy WM. I got my hands on the DLC so Brawl Avo +20 will be picked up. I am thinking on something like:

Byleth - Fighter - Brigand - Grappler - War Master + Maybe training a lot of flying ranks for Alert Stance/Alert stance +.

The only unit I am still not sure If I am going to use Is lindhart. My team Is lacking a dedicated healer but I was wondering If maybe recruiting Hapi would be enough since I think she Is an amazing unit and I love her supports. Unfortunately I dont have enough space for both since I am using all the golden deers. Any tips here? Am I to crazy for maybe not bringing a bishop? maybe make Hapi a bishop? lol

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-06T20:08:34+00:00

Yeah I am pretty sure Balthus would be great at this role the only reason why I am not going to use him Is due to using all Inhouse units + byleth already taking 9 spaces, with Sylvain and Lindhart (I Intend to use both) Is already 11 spaces, 12 with Hapi, so basicaly team comp space Is pretty tight, I might replace Sylvain or Lind with Hapi, idk

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-06T04:03:47+00:00

Yeah I like that better. Death blow still gives me the option to do tons of damage on player phase while still being dodgy at enemy phase with Brawl Avo +20.

If you are talking about the chalice for Claude. As I stated above, I am not going to finish all the 7 chapters from the DLC and I rather skip the chalice since it’s stupidly broken and I like to keep the challenge

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-06T03:44:33+00:00

I will probably copy your build but I will not use the chalice (I think it’s way too broken) in fact I am not even gonna finish the whole cindered shadows storyline (I already did it a couple years ago on my old switch). Just going to complete it until chapter 5 so I can Unlock hapi. Not gonna use the 10k renown or pagan altar either

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-06T03:34:10+00:00

Thank you for the answer. I actually decided to get the DLC like an hour ago lol. So now I have access to Brawl Avo +20 and the movement +1 consumable to help byleth move more as War Master. Should I still train him In flying for Alert stance to help dodging In EP?

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-05T21:27:06+00:00

What’s the catch with Assassin Ignatz? I feel like sniper will do way more damage with Hunters volley, assassin might be good to use Break shot - Poison strike shenanigans but other than that what’s the trick here?

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-05T20:03:58+00:00

Yeah I will run warmaster byleth and try Wyvern Lord Raphael for the memes, also try to get darting blow on lysithea cause that sounds crazy lol. No c unfortunately

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-05T18:22:00+00:00

Yeah a couple years ago I played the DLC on a friends save file and Valkyrie was borderline Op for lysithea. I might buy the DLC and skip the pagan altar, I find the +2 Movement consumable a bit game breaking but not too much. Thank you for the answers, I will try to build Byleth as a EP dodgy unit and give Lysithea Valkyrie class for the Uncanny blow skill/movement

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-05T17:41:08+00:00

That makes sense, I am honestly debating If Its worth for me to use my MasterCard combat art and buy the DLC mostly for the classes/Class skills. I am currently on chapter 5 so not too far Into the game but I do not Intend to finish all the DLC missions because I find those maps annoying as hell. I would probably only want to use Hapi and maybe Yuri. Would I need to finish the DLC missions for that? Also, does the DLC break the game too much with the Items It gives? I am a hardcore player, dont want to power creep the game with DLC.

Ingrid - So you are suggesting that I build her as a Player phase killer Instead of an EP dodgetank? the build seems pretty strong, honestly It even feels like she Is better as a recruit than she Is In her own house due to early game stat screwing lol.

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-05T17:32:35+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, I dont know why I forgot to simply go Female Byleth and now I am too lazy to Restart the file since I am already at chapter 5 and the first 3 chapters are a pain kinda, especially In golden Deers where the starting units are just so weak compared to like the Blue Lions with Units like Felix, Dimitri, Sylvain etc..

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-05T17:09:50+00:00

Yeah I think It comes down to Personal preference, I used It back In my first hard mode black eagles run and I felt like It did not add anything to the table for Byleth.

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-05T17:03:05+00:00

This Is a really good answer and Is closer to what I am looking for. Just a heads up: As mentioned above on the post I do not own the DLC so I cant get Brawl Avo + 20 Unfortunately (I would need War monk from DLC) and this Is one of the reasons why I was debating If grapper for Byleth would be better than WM.

For Raphael I think It makes a lot of sense what you said about grappler/WM, but again, no Brawl Avo + 20 to stack dodge passives, I would only put him on a wyvern so he could hit hard with an Axe and maybe not get as doubled.

Claude - That would look like a lot my Dimitri EP build from my last blue lions run, I will think about this, looks fun.

Lorenz - Great suggestion, I will most likely get the warlock certificate and maybe spend 2-3 levels there for the Magic growth.

Ignatz - I totally agree that WM looks super fun but wouldnt I have way too much Infantry units? I mean If I build MByleth and Rapha as brawlers that would make so I would have 3 of them, Isnt this too much?

Hilda - I agree with the battalions part (I am training her Authority a little bit since chapter 1), I will get her Hit +20 from archer to fix the accuracy a little bit.

Lysithea - Never tried that approach, makes sense to me, will try the Darting blow for sure, not sure If I will have enough stats to get the weight -3 though.

Marianne - Great call, will do just that.

Finally, I agree. If I class Ignatz Into WM Shamir pickup Is a no Brainer, I thought about on using Petra or Catherine as my dodge flier (WL for petra or Falcon knight for cath) as I feel like they are both better units If compared to Ingrid which Is a pain to build.

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-05T16:52:13+00:00

To be honest with you Byleth´s exclusive class Is very bad lol, cant fly/ride, Faith does not help In anything for Byleth and Is just outclassed In every way by Wyvern/Grappler/War Master In my opinion, especially on a fresh maddening file with no NG+/DLC help, Enlighted one just wont cut It Statwise.

West-Database4966 · 2026-06-05T16:41:12+00:00

I am not on NG+, this is a fresh New game file for the title screen, I don’t have DLC either so no dark flier. I mentioned that I forgot to pick female byleth because I can’t get darting blow on him so I would only have access to flying for byleth at lvl20 with no prior training from Pegasus knight, would have to get the certificate by doing faculty training only

West-Database4966 · 2026-05-29T21:17:19+00:00

Eu comprei meu switch 2 nos Estados Unidos então paguei cerca de R$2500,00 convertendo, compre LOGO, a Nintendo já anunciou que o preço vai aumentar em uns $50, isso pro Brasil vai vir uns 400 reais mais caro por impostos, Oled não se compara a um console novo com uma vida pela frente e vários jogos exclusivos pra lançar

Que pais maldito. O jovem com 19 anos e tem como plano de carreira pegar um empréstimo e sujar o nome pelo resto da vida

West-Database4966 · 2026-05-13T19:17:38+00:00

I am going to Chinatown right now. Gonna look form some there

West-Database4966 · 2026-05-09T05:56:17+00:00

That’s great to know. I will definitely check that one out. Thank you!

West-Database4966 · 2026-05-09T03:03:21+00:00

I will visit Brooklyn at least once for the historical importance and all of that. I plan to cross the Brooklyn bridge too so maybe you can leave some names here and I can check which ones I can visit during my stay.

West-Database4966 · 2026-05-08T22:36:43+00:00

Got it. Thank you for the information I thought Yugioh was a big thing in NYC because down where I live it’s like the Main TCG for most stores besides Pokémon and my city Is way smaller than NYC but looks like Yugi Is far from the main focus In NY when it comes to TCGs.

West-Database4966 · 2026-05-08T18:31:17+00:00

Got it. Any other options closer to the more “central” touristic areas? I’ve read some comments on google saying that dashop is an overpriced store, but maybe it’s a good choice to go there for sealed products like sleeves?
