+ Show Spoiler + I understand I will lose access to some of my students due to the split, I'm planning to choose Rhea in my first BE playthrough, which students will I lose? I imagine Edelgard and Hubert, who else? I'll stop prioritizing the students I lose. | ||

Activity points are too useful--even if you've maxed out your students' motivation and used faculty training to raise skills on Byleth, you can cook temporary stat boosts that stack over multiple weeks in a month (so you can get like +3 speed for your whole team on a chapter), which is insanely useful on Maddening to get your students' stats up. On top of that every explore day lets you grow another permanent stat booster at the greenhouse. There was some theorycrafting about seminars being useful in no-optional-battle LTC, but once people figured out how to reliably grow statboosters in the greenhouse, that line of thinking was quickly discarded because every explore day letting you get another +1 permanent statbooster is just way more powerful than what you get from seminars. If you are going to battle, the best time to do it is the last week of a month. For most months in the game, there's no lectures between the last free day of a month and the first free day of the next month, which means that battling on the last week avoids having battles screw up the cadence of restoring motivation to your students. Wtf those bonusses stack til Is church useful? | ||

Conversely if you choose edel you loose any associated with the monastary/church including seteth catherine and shamir | ||

Also is Ferdinand terrible or did mine just get RNG-screwed? STR and SPD seem lacking for a lance user. Quite a few good mages though. My Dorothea is super powerful. e: looked up Ferdinand's growths, mine just got screwed it seems T_T | ||

I personally think Ch. 7 is the hardest map so far but other than that I mostly agree. Enemies aren't punching bags like they are on Hard but they don't come in enough numbers for me to feel scared It doesn't help that you can still warpskip | ||

Lysithea's monstrous mag growth still makes her the best unit in the game because you can wipe out such a large chunk of problem unit hp compared to the rest of the cast. | ||

My Dorothea is super powerful. e: looked up Ferdinand's growths, mine just got screwed it seems T_T Follow-up about my shitty Ferdinand: At lvl 20 he had 14 STR, while on average he should've had 8 + 8.55 (19 levels * 0.45 STR growth) so he was pretty RNG-screwed. (I think this is the correct calculation?) But then I promoted him from Cavalier to Paladin and he got +3 STR and +2 DEF so all is well. Are promotions meant to correct bad RNG? I already noticed that sometimes certain stats get boosted upon promotion and other times your unit doesn't get anything. | ||

If it surpasses the minimum stat, no base stats are added, and just the class stats are added on top of your bases. I read somewhere (but never confirmed) that the base stats can also be taken with you when you leave the class. So the Armored Knight exam, for example, is a great way (if taken early enough) to secure 12 defense on your natural low defense characters. | ||

Ferdinand and Sylvain are just very good once they get going because of Swift Strikes + proficiencies that let them get into Wyvern while still training lances quickly. Getting Death Blow from Brigand + Swift Strikes from A lances means both of them can comfortably ORKO most enemies post-timeskip. | ||
