Is there any real way to predict where reinforcements are coming in or do you just guess and hope your crap unit isn't standing next to all those wyvern riders who just showed up? Cordelia just took one for the team, though since she kind of sucks I'm not too upset about it, but I figured they'd come in from the corner of the map, not from a random fort.

Forts and stairways are mostly predictable (except for when they pull poo poo like spawning dudes right next to Severa's villager friend once you talk to him least that's what happened to me) but the flier reinforcements they start throwing out during Valm end as a death sentence for anyone vulnerable and you can't forget the nightmare that is the Oasis chapter. It's mild compared to FE12, but same turn reinforcements are still pretty terrible.

Olivia nearly died to the first reinforcement, didn't expect it that quick. Or to show up every single turn since. It's a good thing that Kellam, Sully, and my avatar are now virtually invincible.

Blompkin posted:When is Lucina's inherited skill from her mother set? I want to give her galeforce, but I don't know which chapter her mother has to have it by in order for Lucina to inherit it. If you're set on optimising marriages, the most important thing you can do is maximise the number of children who are capable of getting Galeforce. The three characters that you have to look at here are Tharja, Sully and Nowi: all three have female children who don't normally have access to the Pegasus Knight class (and therefore to Dark Flier and Galeforce). However, if you marry them off to a Male Avatar, Donnel or Gaius, their kids will get access to Pegasus Knight. Avatar is probably the best choice for Tharja, provided you didn't take Magic as your Flaw, since the other two both have negative Mag cap modifiers -- but there are advantages to marrying the Avatar off to a second-generation kid too (mostly being able to get hilariously high stat caps in exactly the stats you want). That leaves Donnel and Nowi to pair with Gaius and Sully. Of course, if you just want characters who are good enough to be usable for everything except the super-hard DLC that hasn't been released yet, you don't have to worry about that stuff.

That leaves Donnel and Nowi to pair with Gaius and Sully. Thanks for the help! The team doesn't have to be completely optimized, just able to hold their own. I didn't have a plan originally for Gaius and Sully (wasn't impressed with either's progression rates, but the more galeforce the merrier), so putting them together makes sense. I'll put Donnel with Nowi since it both makes sense and their similarity in age makes it a bit less creepy. I like the Avatar with Lucina, so I'll keep that pairing, and that leaves Kellam now with Cherche. Here's the updated list: Chrom + Sumia Avatar + Lucina Miriel + Henry Tharja + Ricken (sort of creepy, but it's all for min/maxing) Nowi + Donnel Olivia + Frederick Cherche + Kellam Cordelia + Vaike Panne + Lon'qu Gaius + Sully Thanks again for the help!

A question regarding StreetPasses: I got two of them over the past week, started the game up, and saw them appear as green avatar units on the map. I want to use some other 3DS games and apps before I fight them. If I save my game on the map now and start it back later, I'm guessing they'll still be there, but I just want to make sure. Is this the case?

They don't go away until you do something to make them vanish - fight, recruit, buy something, or dismiss them.

I found an interesting thing you can do with Taguels and Manaketes. If you keep them as Taguels/Manaketes and use a Second Seal, you can put them back at level 1 as a Taguel/Manakete without losing any stats. I did this with Panne once she hit level 30 and used a Second Seal on her. Using this method, she is now at level 14 and has these stats (includes a Stats +2 skill I gave her): HP - 75 Strength - 40 Mag - 15 Skill - 42 Speed - 46 Luck - 31 Def - 31 Res - 10 The only character stronger than her that this point is Fredrick (who went through a Second Seal - Master Seal growth) whose strength is at 41 and she's tied with Donnel for strength.

I don't think any class will lose or gain stats if you use a seal to re-enter the same class. You can have high stats at a low level, because level isn't really tied directly to stats; changing classes will modify stats and caps in accordance with the class, but the character's internal stats only ever go up.

Oh nice. I didn't know you could do that with anyone. I thought it was just Taguel/Manaketes since they were a special class. I guess you can make Donnel more of a tank than his already is by doing this.

It's generally more worthwhile to take a character through a few different classes, to acquire more skills. The stat growth rates will vary, but they'll still get continual gains in all stats until they hit the caps.

Yeah, I promoted Donny out of villager at ~11 and he capped his stats as a Mercenary at level 14 or so. He does not need help - he's a monster on his own.

You can do that with anyone actually. The stats you lose when second sealing normally are the differences between the base stats of the two classes. E: teach me to leave the window open for while.
