* The Black Eagles Strike Force blindsiding Cornelia with a surprise assault and dealing a severe blow to those Who Slither in the Dark in the process. While the damage they incurred in retaliation for that assault was significant, there's something deeply cathartic about the Edelgard's forces killing a horribly corrupt individual Cornelia despite technically being on the same side as her.

**Their duel with Nemesis is extra awesome because it perfectly demonstrates Claude’s overall philosophy. Nemesis refuses to acknowledge Claude or Byleth as [[WorthyOpponent worthy opponents]] on the grounds that they refuse to fight him one-on-one. While some past Fire Emblem lords [[HonorBeforeReason may have taken such criticism seriously,]] Claude brushes it off and replies with the speech written above. To Claude, who dreams of a world without prejudices or borders, real courage and strength is in people’s ability to [[ThePowerofFriendship set aside their differences work with others.]] And Claude is proven absolutely correct as he and Byleth end up completely overwhelming Nemesis.

''breathtaking''. It opens up to a battle taking place, with Nemesis dropping in dramatically after having thrown the Sword of the Creator to the ground like a missile and killing any poor sod close to it, giving you a look of just how powerful a Heroes Relic can be. The fight between Nemesis and Seiros also deserves some mentions because, rather than take down Nemesis with her sword, Seiros opts for GoodOldFisticuffs instead.
* Beating the Death Knight at any point before you're supposed to. The Death knight is ''ridiculously'' powerful, and even if you attack him outside of his range, he can still counterattack you and possibly kill you if you're unprepared. As a reward for kicking his ass, you get the rare Dark Seal, which is necessary to get the Dark Mage and Dark Bishop classes.

* The conquering of Derdriu. Claude, ever the tactician with a backup plan, forms an alliance with the king of Almyra, Nader, who comes at the Black Eagle Strike Force with an everspawning group of wyvern riders to reinforce Claude's soldiers. Keep in mind, the Almyrans have a reputation as a powerful force constantly threatening Fodlan from the east. And yet, despite the odds once more Byleth and their force will plow through them all and defeat both Nader and Claude, cementing the defeat of the Leicester Alliance.

* Saving the Alliance from the Empire. The moment Claude's messenger arrives, Dimitri sets out for Derdriu. When you get there, everyone quickly notices that Claude has evacuated the city and is making a last stand at the port. This allows the Empire into the city, which at first looks like a stupid move...until Dimitri realizes Claude has actually been very clever. When the Kingdom arrives from behind, the Empire will be trapped in Derdriu, and smashed between the two armies. Being TheCavalry has never felt so good.
