The class trailer translations have several things wrong, dark magic in this context is just regular tomes, and the golem stuff is just the translators take on the word garou, I think and brave heroes still use swords and axes, not lances

"Social Knight" is a hilarious literal translation.

Most of those translations are painfully literal. That said, the unit types all look pretty rad in terms of weapon diversity/combinations. Also appearance.

Okay, so that's what makes Camilla's class unique, she gets tomes as her second weapon. I assumed Revenant Knight was a replacement for Griffon Rider, and would be axes-only or possibly like GBA Wyvern Lords and gains swords on promotion. Did not expect it to be the replacement for Dark Flier.

I'm playing Path of Radiance now. It's my first time playing a console Fire Emblem game. Is there anything I should take note of? Does the regular advice of avoiding using pre-promos still hold?

Everyone else is...ehhhhhhhh. Bastian is pretty drat bad. Calil is okay.

Look at all these scrubs who don't want to heal their waifus and/or husbandos Nohr is still superior overall though E: Also I'm playing FeGirls chapter 9 and Im pretty sure there's almost no way to get the ~5k gold from one chest without sending a blessed/overleveled mounted character rampaging through the level on their own ahead of the rest to intercept the thieves, except doing that means you kill a bunch of enemies with valuable weapons you can steal so it ends up not gaining you any value and wasting all the XP on one character. How am I meant to do my OCD collect-a-thon this way? I guess if I leveled a bunch of strong mounted units and rescue-dropped my thieves + dancer to steal on the way maybe...but gently caress that.

Obviously you should be using dark magic to kill the enemies before they hurt anyone in the first place

Does the regular advice of avoiding using pre-promos still hold? Path of radiance uses a skill system pretty heavily, and every class has a badass ultimate skill associated with it that can only be gotten from occult scrolls, which are incredibly rare and hard to come by. For the love of god, save one for Ike and hand it to him the second he promotes.

Look up a recruitment guide (for the desert level at the very least) because a couple characters are locked behind extremely obscure bullshit.

I can't get over how awesome that werewolf/troll/ogre thing is. Hoshido's dumb fox guy is nothing by comparison. Also did they change Valkyrie's to Strategists or is that just a unique class for your little sister on the Nohr side? Internet Kraken fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Jun 21, 2015 |

Any unit without canto is garbage compared to those with it. It was so bad that Fiona in Radiant Dawn had to have the most impossible situation to gain decent levels in a game, and even then she's still above others.

It was so bad that Fiona in Radiant Dawn had to have the most impossible situation to gain decent levels in a game, and even then she's still above others. in all fairness canto has a lot less value in the endgame as well as cavs being too slow for a good chunk of the enemies there, so you still need to train up footsoldiers for it

I kind of wish you got more than one of it though(I mean I guess taureono comes with it but...), because that skill is just stupid good in 9. The only reason vantage+wrath beats vantage+resolve is because resolve is only accessible end game.

Oh, one important thing to note for the Tellius saga: Wyverns are not vulnerable to arrows unlike every other game. So throw them at archers without worry.

horses are pretty mediocre in RD. they have canto, but rd has lots of maps with lovely terrain they can't move around on easily, any maps with elevation hurts them hard, and they have less move indoors and they don't hit 34 speed
