So riddle me this:

What would you call Swordsmaster Severa with Galeforce, Sol, Armsthrift, and eventually, Astra?

[up][up][up]Really? Strange...

I've had him and his goons rush me while I'm around the middle of the map, still fighting the other squadrons.

Maybe I accidentally triggered one of his goons.

She had both of those already. That's how she got Galeforce and Armsthrift.

After I'm done with Swordsmaster, what would suggest I make her into? She's been a Dark Flier already, so maybe a Falcon Knight, for shits and giggles?

What all did Severa inherit?

'Cause seriously, if she got Axefaire from her father she's a terrifyingly good Hero. There's a reason I usually have Inigo acting as an Assassin instead of having him trying to be Severa.

I sure said that!

Well, her dad was Gaius, so she got Lethality.

I don't think she has Axefaire, but I'll have to check her other skills tomorrow. She was a Hero before I made her a Dark Flier, and now she's a Swordsmaster (but she doesn't know Astra yet).

Axefaire is a Berserker exclusive, which in turn is a male-exclusive. No need to lose sleep over it, but odds are she doesn't have it (especially with Gaius, who's more into flying ponies himself).

The thing about Gangrel is that you can't wait too long. Even if you stay out of his range, after enough turns he and his bodyguards will bring the fight to you.

The real thing about Gangrel is that he has the Levin Sword (meaning 1-2 Range and hitting the typically weaker resistance stat) and the stats to actually use it effectively (and most likely doubling your units) at this point in game. If you're playing on Lunatic or above, his movement becomes better than most of your foot units by means of avoiding being slowed down by anything. And if you're playing on Hard and above, he also gets a rather high boost to his hit and avoid for 7 turns (which is about the average turn count you'll spend on most FE maps including this one) which makes his attacks more likely to hit you and deal some serious damage (and remember, he'll usually be doubling so one of his attacks will most certainly hit you).

Don't use Nosferatu tome for general grinding. Use it when you expect massive amounts of pain to be directed at your Dark Mage. Or if they're low on health.

Generic tomes work just fine for Dark Mages in Awakening, although if you really want to still use Dark tomes, Flux works fine.

Oh, yes, absolutely. I was just noting that he doesn't stand around with his thumb up his butt while you kill his men, though apparently I'm wrong.

Walmart is such a gentleman, letting you take your time to ransack his castle as long as you don't get too close to him.

Anomalocaris20: Yeah, his goons are spread out enough that they actually have deceivingly large coverage of the map (something like around 1/4). It's really easy to accidentally pull him (especially because of Acrobat) by standing on the Fort closest to him or approaching the Chests (which the Mercs are in range of).

(and most likely doubling your units)
A properly leveled tank with decent pair-up really shouldn't be in danger of this. I do agree he's not to be trifled with, as far as the weaklings are concerned, though.

Gangrel's one of those characters who seems like he's stronger gameplay-wise that he has any right to be story-wise.

See also: Lundgren and Roartz.

I feel this way about Ludveck and some of the random rebel and Begnion forces too. In particular, it's kinda strange just how high level some of these random green youths the rebels are recruiting are during Neph and Brom's chapter.

And there was that General who showed up at the end of Lyn's story.

You wouldn't have thought he's a warmonger that practically demands you use your new promoted unit to take care of... but he is.

That's Lord Lundgren. Fire Emblem typically has that early-game promoted boss show up who's defeat ends one part/story of the game and whose stats are supposed to be fairly high for that point. They are typically Generals (to give them high defense and strength) which makes Gangrel stand out somewhat in regards to this.

Lundgren at least is a General- You more or less have to be at least Unskilled, but Strong to wear that much armor and carry some huge lance or axe into battle.

It's really too bad you can't have Lyn kill that murdering bigot without either wearing him down a lot with Wallace or Dorcas or getting lucky, even with Mani Katti's bonus against armor, though.

... funny. The RNG was messing with me so much, that I thought that Lynn was supposed to be the one to get the killing blow.

I've only played once, so I use that in my defence of not being able to remember his name.

Edit: Oh no. Inigo has unique dialogue with Ursula in the first part of Rogues and Redeemers.

Interesting placement. Hector and Lyn are more prominent than Eliwood, Eirika moreso than Ephraim, Ike and Micaiah are behind Roy, nobody seems to care about pre-GBA characters.
