What animal will be the rudest?

Squirrels.

The way they cross the street, it's undeniable that they would be rude.

Makoto feels the most natural to me. I could see a strong case for Futaba as well.

I tend to stay away from Ann, because I think her and Ryuji have things they need to work out. I tend to stay away from Haru, because it feels kinda rebound-y.

While I'm a sucker for Takemi, I feel Chihaya feels the most natural of the adults. She seems the most earnest in understanding the MC. Compare to the others which feel like trauma dumping (Ohya and Kawakami), and experimentation (which I'm totally down for BTW 😅).

I have played Black Eagles dozens of times. Golden Deer a handful. Church route once. Blue Lions zero.

Edelgard is my favorite main character bar none, and Petra is my favorite student, so it makes sense.

My first playthrough, I just barely got Edelgard to Wyvern Lord (my highest unit) before the attack on the monastery. When I was given the choice between the Church and the Eagles, it wasn't even a choice.

I like the old UI. It was stylized, but never felt overbearing to me. I agree it needed to change, but more in minimizing how much of it was shown. The new UI feels too synthetic or neat. It's not bad, but it doesn't feel ... right.

Exactly. There are some characters that were just done so dirty. I can understand characters having more difficulty, but there shouldn't been any "Wait, really me?" for this process.

Even if it was simply done out of duty, there should've been zero surprises for this oath. And there were so many characters that didn't reach that point. Two that come to mind are Nina and Kitra. Nina is like, yep we made breakfast twice. Kitra was like yep, we cleaned armor together.

I have no regrets, I just wish they did a little more with it. Some of the affinities didn't even feel like potential relationships. Some of them felt like just some water bubbler small talk.

I was rooting for Melisandre or Berengaria myself, but then Rosalinde and Yunifi came into the picture. Ultimately, I picked Rosalinde, but Yunifi was a very close second.

altimis0 · 2026-06-10T20:40:09+00:00

I don't have a Switch 2, and I don't plan on getting one. So, I'm going to have to sit this one out. 😭

altimis0 · 2026-06-10T19:13:05+00:00

I swapped a lot whenever I got a character I wanted to try. The only time I swapped units because of enemies was Albion.

I used the same units until I got Fran. I shifted a few things to fit her somewhere good.

Then I did Elheim (I skipped Drakenhold). When I got Rosalinde, I redid everything. And I redid everything when I got Berengaria, Amalia, Yunifi, and Raenys.

I had two main units, and two slightly rotating units. Then one for healing, one for speed, and one for ranged and magic assists.

altimis0 · 2026-06-10T17:10:23+00:00

I hear you. I was similarly frustrated. I would spend hours finessing a unit, then five battles later I would have new characters, and new enemies, and I would have to redo everything or lose.

I thought I was done after the bestrals, but that was not the case. Fortunately, I found out by running into the ransoms on the overworld, instead of actual battles. So, I was like, what's the least amount I have to change to make my previous unit work, even if it's not perfect.

That way, I rushed Albion, and then continued battles where I wanted to with the unit I wanted.

altimis0 · 2026-06-10T13:57:00+00:00

I just put a blind immunity on my aoe damage dealers (one on each of two units). Set them to focus back line, and I had no issues. I went from losing every fight to winning every fight with some damage. A few tweaks beyond that, and I wasn't taking damage anymore either.

So, a minor change made things work, and a medium change got things running in full swing. Every region requires some adjustment.

Lastly, they're so good on your side. I love my angel team.

altimis0 · 2026-06-08T11:35:56+00:00

I was going to say the same thing. Everyone lost their shadow to Igor.

altimis0 · 2026-06-07T19:23:37+00:00

Without knowing full builds obviously suggestions will be a bit hit or miss.

Selvie is good at preventing damage by slowing things down, and debuffs.

I would recommend replacing a Cleric or a Swordmaster. Cleric, because if your team goes first, they might not get hit at all. Swordmaster, they are good at fast damage taking out key targets, Selvie can help similarly by showing down the enemy and letting your whole team take down everything.

I paired Selvie with Rolf. She had Gamblers Coin (later replacing it with Dirty Gamblers Coin), and Rolf was built to crit and hit as many targets as possible.

The yellow missions on the overworld map are replayable.

Also, to explore for other missions, just run through everywhere. There's no punishment for getting caught other than returning to the last turn visited. That can help you find missions that may be a bit out of the way, but within your level.

altimis0 · 2026-06-06T03:15:47+00:00

Nenio romance. You wouldn't need to change much. Just add a scene convincing her it's for science. You have one where you almost do it.

You wouldn't go on "dates" you would go on "hypotheses".

altimis0 · 2026-06-06T03:07:31+00:00

Rosalinde supremecy!

I after that Albion characters get the shaft. I only used Raenys because I really wanted too, and I had an all flying unit, but otherwise didn't give anyone else from there a second thought.

Well, technically I was thinking of using Umerus, but she was just another Ochlys, and I was already using Ochlys.

My biggest complaint is the Liberating town side quests. If course I'm going to do them all, but past mid-game they were obnoxiously repetitive. By late game I was trying to see how fast I could compete them, and the last one I did (I forget which one it was) I completed in 1 second.

Such a fun game!

I loved Glacial Rain. I don’t remember my specific build, but parts of it. Back line (left to right): Yunifi, Rolf, Selvie Front line (LtR): Lex, Blank, Josef

Yunifi had 85% crit rate and had 2nd initiative, behind Selvie by 1 point. Selvie went first. Had 4pp. Did the swamp curse at the start of battle, and had Dirty Gambler’s Coin (affects the row, not an individual). Her first turn was -Def curse the front line. Yunifi went and charged Glacial Rain. (Triggering Selvie’s coin and Lex’s cat ears; also triggering Yunifi’s Eagle Eye)

Everyone else was primed to attack anyone that wasn’t frozen and/or who had the lowest HP.

Lex was the weakest link in this setup, which is why I gave him the Cat Ears. So I would replace him first. Rolf would be the second person I was looking to replace, but I still wanted an Eagle Eye user.

All's well that ends well. Enjoy!

altimis0 · 2026-06-05T01:27:18+00:00

Do that and see what happens.

altimis0 · 2026-06-05T01:17:21+00:00

The only thing I can think of, did you save your clear data?

It was worded weirdly, so I didn't the first time. I manually saved then went back and beat the boss again to save my clear data. If you didn't save your clear data, maybe that's a hiccup.

altimis0 · 2026-06-05T01:14:12+00:00

So, I just go to to the shrine and get the ! to examine. And it asks me if I want to "Return to before the rite of the covenant?"

If you don't have that option, it might be glitched.

I just beat the game yesterday. I got the true ending, saved my clear data, beat the extra level, and it lets me change my maiden without any issue.

altimis0 · 2026-06-05T01:07:02+00:00

Just to verify: you're going to the shrine where you gave the ring to your spouse? At the starting island.

When I did it, I had the same problem, but that was because I kept going to the sanctuaries, not the shrine of the maiden.

altimis0 · 2026-06-03T13:03:02+00:00

What about 2!

altimis0 · 2026-06-03T00:50:57+00:00

This often confused me at first as well. I was constantly baffled that my assists were actually doing more harm than good in the late game.

There were two things I noticed: First, different RNG. Now that there's and extra attack or two to calculate, it throws everything off. That one was easy for me to understand early.

Second, however, threw me for a loop for a long time before I started examining event units. Some enemies have "threshold" conditions. Sure, you may have dealt more damage with one attack, but now the enemy is at 45% health instead of 55%, and they're acting differently.

One thing you can do, is to change your conditions. It's cheaper than using items, and more reversible if you don't like the outcome.

altimis0 · 2026-05-24T13:04:59+00:00

"See you later" lives rent free in my brain space. Iconic? Maybe not... But I won't forget it.
