Rad. Honestly wish I knew stuff like this when I played the game for myself this past month. Would have been a lot less annoying.

This chapter îs amazing. You are just bad at The game

​@@mihaimercenarul7467Don't be an asshole over a single player game.

I was messing around with hacked skills earlier and it looks like I forgot to take that off of her. Whoops!

Happy I wasn’t the only one that noticed that

I've maintained a library of save files from basically every chapter, so I usually just modify those if I need to set something up on short notice. There's a program called FEFTwiddler that handles almost all your save-editing needs for Fates. On occasion, I have to hex-edit the file, which is a little more complicated. Rarely, I end up having to go back several chapters and then play back to where I want to be (mainly if I have to capture a particular unit, because importing extra characters into the file can be sort of finicky), but I don't really mind doing that. The game is fun!

@@Zoran501 Thanks a lot. So how/where do you keep all those save files? I don't imagine it's on the 9 files in the base game. Also, something else I was wondering about: The enemy AI(both in Conquest and in the other routes) is a very interesting thing that I'd love to learn more about, both to help formulate strategies and for general play. Do you know a place where I could read up on that? Just searching the web doesn't provide good results.

It won't happen for every character, but I do plan to highlight some other stuff beyond Odin and Ophelia, yes

@@Zoran501 nice, I guess some characters aren't that interesting in what they can do so that makes sense

Trying to give my 2 cents here: 1) Jakob: early Paladin or sitck with Butler (which I prefer, tbh). 2) Felicia: stick with Butler. Change to Strategist for endgame if you need more movement. 3) Silas: 0/20>Paladin. Unless you are planning to use him for the entire game, I wouldn't bother with merc/ninja. 4) Elise: 0/5>WR. 0/15-17>MK. 15-17/11>DK. 15-17/15>MK. 5) Arthur: 0/10>Berserker. Unless you plan to use him as a frontline unit, I wouldn't bother with his other classes. 6) Effie: 0/20>General, 20/5>GK. That's the cheapest option. Alternatively, you can go with 0/18>Fighter, 0/20>Hero, 20/5>Berserker, if you have her marry Arthur. 7) Mozu: Archer ASAP. 0/15-20: Sniper. 15-20/15>KN. Or you can just promote directly to KN, if you prefer mobility over growths. Unless you have specific builds in mind (like endgame Mozu), I wouldn't bother wth Merchant/MoA. 8) Odin. 0/18>Samurai. 0/20>Dark Mage. 0/20>Sorcerer. 20/13>MoA. 20/15>Sorcerer. 9) Niles. 0/15-20: BK. 10) Azura: just stay as a Dancer. In theory, you could go for KN Azura to get Amaterasu, but that's too much effort imho. 11) Nyx: 10/10>DK. 10/1>Adventurer. 12) Camilla: 8>Hero(S Keaton, recommended, or Artuhr). 11>Berserker. 15>MK. 16>WL. This is probably the best Camilla you can get. Expensive, but worth it. 13) Selena: If you really want to use her, then reclassing her into WR asap (A+ Beruka or Camilla) is the way to go. From there, it's pretty standard: 0/20>WL. 20/13>MK. 20/15>WL. 14) Beruka: 0/20>WL. 20/5>Hero. 20/11>Berserker. 20/15>MK. 20/17>WL. 15) Kaze: 0/20>Mechanist. 20/13>MN. 20/15>Mechanist. If you really want to invest into Kaze, you can throw in a few skills from the Samurai and WR lines (S with Beruka or Camilla). 16) Laslow: 0/12>Ninja. 0/20>MN, if you want to use him as a frontline unit. 0/15-20>BK if you want to use him as a rally bot. 17) Peri: 0/20>Paladin. Some people might argue that GK is the better option here and that's partially true. GK compensates for Peris weaknesses, while Paladin plays with her strengths. Personally, I prefer Paladin for the better skills, fewer weaknesses and extra movement, but GK is totally fine. 16) Benny: 0/20>General. Chapest option. Alternatively, you can go with 0/20>General. 20/5>Hero. 20/11>Berserker. 17) Charlotte: 0/15>Berserker. 18) Leo: 11>Swordmaster. 15>DK. 19) Keaton: 0/15>Wolfssenfger, if you want to use him as a pair-up bot. If you want to use him as a frontline unit, 20/20>Wolfssenger. 20/5>Hero. 20/11>Berserker. 20) Gunter: basically, another pair-up bot. Just leave either leave him in his starting class or go for WL/MK depending on your Corrin. 21) Xander: 5>WL. 13>MK. 15>Hero. 22) Shura: 2> (X.X) 23) Flora: reclass to strategist for the endgame, if you need extra movement. 24) Izana: just leave him in hist starting class. His other two classes are god tier and mediocre respectively (Samurai-Apothecary), but it's just not worth it to invest money into this guy to make him anything other than a staff bot.. Child units vary widely, depending on their parents. Here are some sets I think turn out to be pretty strong. All children, except for Nina, are considered to be recruited between Chapeter 21 and 24. Elise!Opelia: Inherited SKills: Trample (Elise), any/possibly Vantage/LaD (Odin) Promote to DK. 20/N(where N=15-number of level ups necessary to get to Swordfaire)>Swordmaster. 20/15>Moa. As soon as you get LaD>DK. Skip MoA if you inherited LaD. Final set (imho the best set for Ophelia, even better than Sorcerer Ophelia): Class: DK Weapon: Levin Sword+1 Skills: Swordfaire, Trample, LaD, Vantage, Heartseeker Camilla!Velouria: Inherited SKills: Axefaire (Camilla), any (Keaton) Promote to Wolfssinger. Immediately reclass to Hero. When you get Sol, reclass to MK. 20/15>WL. Final set: Class: WL Skills: Axefaire, Trample, Sol, Better Odds, Savage Blow. Niles!Shigure: Inherited SKills: Movement+1/Pass, if available (Niles), any (Azura) Promote to FK. If Shigure inherited Pass, then reclass to Adventurer for two levels, then go back to FK. Otherwise, just stick to FK. Final set: Class: FK Skills: Movement+1, Pass (if available), filler, filler, filler. Azura!NIna: Inherited SKills: any (Niles), any (Azura) Recruit before Chapter 26 or 27. Promote to Adventurer. Reclass to FK. Final set: Class: FK Skills: Movement+1, Pass, filler, filler, filler. Good set for endgame Corrin: Boon: Str. Bane: Luck. Talent: Samurai. 0/20>Nohr Noble. 20/2>MoA. 20/5>WL. 20/13>MK. 20/15>SM. 20/17>MoA. 20/18>Paladin. Skills: Swordfaire, Trample, LaD, Str+2, Elbow Room.

@@SorenToKeiran-Murasaki you should get sol for arthur before reclassing into berserker

@@ccpmustfall6445 Nope, you don't. Pair-up bots can't proc skills.

Both, except that Unit Select Voice crashes my New 3DS XL

@@Zoran501 Ah okay man. I could never get the icon and Unit Select Voice to both work at the same time. Are the texture mods in the description compatible with 3DS hardware?

They aren’t. They’re not packaged in a way the 3DS can use, and even if they did work, they’d probably cause performance to suffer for very little benefit. You’re still looking at the 3DS's very low-res screen.

Zoran ah okay thanks man, keep up the great work!

You figured it out: I used a Friendship Seal after achieving A rank support with Percy.

I'm pretty sure the guy you're thinking of in both cases is joshcja. He's a clever dude, even if he never learned how to spell anyone's name. In the literal sense of having the same Strength as Camilla, yes, Arthur promoted to Berserker as early as level 10 averages 19 Strength, which is Camilla's base. But if you want him to compete with her in other stats, I imagine you'd have to abuse the treehouse a little to unlock Kana's paralogue before chapter 10, then feed most of the promoted enemies there to Arthur. He could probably reach level 16 or so, and then as a Berserker he'd have, on average: 35+5 HP - 23+0 Str - 00 Mag - 17 Skl - 16 Spd - 00 Lck - 15 Def - 05 Res Compare with Camilla: 30+0 HP - 19+2 Str - 11 Mag - 15 Skl - 19 Spd - 12 Lck - 18 Def - 15 Res

@@Zoran501 Pretty nuts although id rub it through a binomial calculator, and see what his stats are likely to be. Anything above 90% is extremely consistent. the more i mess around in this game, the more i realize all the resources given to jakob are not worth it. I dont even know if he actually helps save turns (which i dont care about) without riggin. His growths are pretty poor. Maybe you could make some oneshot builds?

@@Zoran501 Btw it was joshcja. I always got confused reading his posts because they used so much lingo that waa hard to understand

The issue I have with the binomial probabilities is that stats are fungible, especially in this game. For example, if you get enough Strength, that can make up for a lack of speed, because you can go for kills in attack stance that don’t need speed. Or if you have extra speed, that can translate to extra double attacks that provide extra offense and extra defense through the guard gauge. Blessed with defense? Now you might survive enemy phase in attack stance, giving you way more damage and an extra player-phase action. The 90% binomial projections are extremely pessimistic across the board, which makes their results unrealistically low in far more than 90% of cases.

@@Zoran501 Oh no that is certainly true, but i like to plan PREMPTIVELY using binomials since they are almost guaranteed. But as your unit grow, you can have opportunities for diffrent strategies based on growths. They are just more accurate then averages so i use them in their place

The Ninja Cave and the Kitsune Mountain are really good for farming. So don’t worry about this right now. Just use some wacky whatever tactics to do this.

How many paralogues have you done ?
