What's the deal with Felicia/Jacob getting normal exp amounts despite being technically a prepromote? Do they cap out at 20 normally? Do they continue getting good exp if you seal them to a different class?

Because hot drat Heart Sealing Felicia to Strategist as soon as you can would make her incredibly good.

They're not really prepromotes, they're like Dread Fighters or Azura who go to level 40.

...huh. So does that apply to all of their alt class options or does using a heart seal gently caress it up?

They'll still cap out at lvl 40 instead of 20, regardless of what class they're in

What is everyone planning to use Sakura for? Is it worth the pain of leveling a healer to level 10 to promote her to something that is actually useful? Do I just change her class now to something completely different?

About to start chapter 8, and I enjoy using her. Being able to do both ranged debuff attacks and healing makes her pretty versatile.

I guess making Felicia a strategist is just incredibly good to do then, gotcha.

I mean changing your castle layout or whatever doesn't change your castle address so

Plus when you visit you can send feedback and gifts to whoever you visit, which would be pretty hard to do without an actual connection.

Boons/Banes are the same as the Assets/Flaws from Awakening. The difference is that everything has a fancy name instead of telling you directly what stat is primarily affected.

Talent is your starting reclass option.

The heavily abusive daddy issues certainly explains all the incest and otherwise hosed up relationships you can get in.

I think it has to be forged once to be named.

You have to be able to forge something to rename it. To forge you need at least two copies of the weapon you are using and enough minerals of the correct type. For instance you need Sapphires to forge axes and Topaz to forge tomes. The easiest way to get minerals is to visit other castles but it's still really tedious. They really should have just made it really expensive to forge or give a forge a certain number of uses until it reverts to a standard weapon.

The forging system makes sense given that weapons are unlimited durability and more powerful weapons have significant drawbacks. Even forged Iron-tier weapons are going to be exceptionally useful for the entirety of the game, so there has to be some kind of restriction, and getting higher-tier forged stuff is borderline impossible.

If you brought along Hinoka and kept the Guard Lance on him even at default stats I don't think the boss can damage him at all. That plus having Saizo debuff his Defense (and then get Shove-d out of range) did the trick for me.

Upgrade the resource buildings. Make sure to get a resource from the building before upgrading it, because it resets the wait time.

Jakob's actually got good strength and defense growths, so he's fine as a butler because he can actually do damage. In chapter 10 he took on the entire left side on by himself.

Also protip, if you want to grind supports in conquest, just find really low level castles online to beat up on. ALso if you want to pair Azura up, leave everyone in the castle alive but whatever unpromoted healer they have, then just have her sing for whoever you want to pair her up with 10000 times.
