She doesnt. Shes a normal prepromote.

So i finally beat Before Awakening and got all the items. I was thinking about making my Corrin a Lodestar. He's currently level 11 - will I be able to heart seal back to whatever his promoted class is later on?

Shaped like a friend

I woke up and turns out I'm sick as hell so took a crack at Birthright 24 and after a fair bit of resets (lotta 1% lucky enemy crits that seemed fair) I finished it.

Story related but does the Nohr side get to see the best joke in the game?
Corrin was sobbing his eyes out and screaming curses at Garon's castle and had to have some friends pep him up. From there he walked into Lilith's temple, dumped a basket of peas and went "OH GOD LILITH". I just started laughing my rear end off to that.

Cool, my understanding is that even if he skips the specific level he would have acquired a skill, he will still get them as he levels in the class, so if I put him over now and heart seal him back, he has 5 levels to gain his promoted class skills? I suppose it's sort of moot since you can obtain various skills from other castles, but I just want to make sure I understand how it all works.

Yeah, that's exactly how it works.

So you change him to Lodestar and go back to Hoshido/Nohr Noble when you hit 35 and get the final Lodestar skill. You'd be a level 15 Hoshido/Nohr Noble and gain the skills at levels 16 and 17.

If you changed to something like Great Knight instead where you didn't have the unpromoted skills you'd get the cav skills at 16 and 17 then the GK skills at 18 and 19.

Ok, great, thanks! It feels a bit more complicated at first blush than Awakening but probably only because of the limited leveling opportunities in comparison.

Man I don't know if playing Birthright Lunatic for my first run was such a good idea. Takes me a couple resets to beat the more straightforward maps, the more complicated ones can take me up to half a day. Currently on Chapter 11 with the endless rush of enemies. Took me about five resets before I figured out a decent spot to just bunker down and let them crash against my walls.

This map also reminded me that the Rod Shop sells stat boosts that last for the entire chapter. Helps to have a cheap +2 Defense for your frontliners.

Birthright ramps up a bit around Chapter 16. Be sure to forge weapons if you can afford it, bring Ryoma, and grind a lil if need be. I think I just did Chapter 17 last night, and without Ryoma being a literal bouncer, probably wouldn't be able to beat it.

Birthright Hard is pretty hard. No one in my army really feels Greil Mercs/anyone in Awakening tough. I really have to pay attention to who is where and doing what. My army can dish some damage but are also pretty vulnerable overall. The changes to Pair up are good ones, I think.

Once you get takumi and oboro, it snowballs.

edit: Nintendo said Fates sold 300k~ copies combined. The wording seems like it's only counting physical copies? You don't say "units" about digital, right?

Not usually, no. But god drat that's a lot, that's over 3x Awakening's first week sales.

*looks* Well gently caress that, it wasn't even first week, that report was 3 days in.

Seriously, I don't know what it is about this game's hit rates, but they're cruel. My many runs of Chapter 10 featured Corrin getting nailed by > 30% hit rates from axe men repeatedly, Niles, Arthur, Beruka and Nyx missing on > 80% and Azura missing a 90% hit rate on a double attack that would've otherwise killed a Sky Knight.

Did some mucking around and grabbed a steel nageyeri and want to see if that triggered a shadowban.


also when you go to the DLC menu, do you only see before awakening? 'cuz I bought the Map Pack on my copy of conquest, and subsequently installed the cia for the special edition because I wanted to play invisible kingdom sooner (and also get that sweet sweet pair of boots). Only now the only thing I see is before awakening on both my copies of fates, which is odd and I don't think that was what it looked like before.

There are a few capturable bosses with good skill sets/growths, but nothing super substantial.

There is a fat adventurer lady if that's your thing.
