Fire Emblem

What would the Corrin amiibo even do in Fates? The clone-thingy shop exists if you want another Corrin.

I'm sure IS would figure out something.

Also, do the amiibo characters scale in Fates as well? Is there a good level of story completion for me to get them at? (I'm at Chapter 18 right now and bashing my head on my desk for thinking that I get the infinite Master Seals by then)

Is it weird that part of me thinks FE6's "bad" ending is actually pretty good, if not better than the "good" one? This may be due to wonky fan translation but the ending narration states that although Idenn was never found, the threat she presented never materialized, and Elibe still enjoyed centuries of peace. Plus Brunya and Jahn get to live in this ending and they weren't exactly "evil" either...

Speaking of laslow / indigo his S support with Effie is pretty nice. She even has no problem with him chatting up pretty girls as long as it goes no further then that.

Leo and Peri supports were interesting considering the subject of their conversation.

It's Inigo, not Indigo

And honestly: Laslow/Peri is my favorite ship involving those two, with Laslow/Charlotte being my second-favorite for him. It doesn't help that Soleil is adorable with either Blue or Blonde hair (she also looks good with Selena's hair. Hmm.... )

Is "Inido" some new character I don't know about?

It's delivery, not digiorno

Fuck off guys, I haven't finished my tea yet. Not fully awake

So, I've been thinking of making Gunter go through Vanguard from better stats and some skills. Would that benefit him a lot? (I don't have Vanguard Dawn, but I'm considering getting it.)

I want to Make Gunter Great Again.

Gunter is a lost cause unless you reclass him to Wyvern Lord and turn him into a Pair-Up bot for Corrin. His growths are that terribad.

I gave him Aptitude.

He's catching up a bit with some good luck and a lot of training.

Gunter's personal growths are complete garbage, so he's going to be just plain bad in any class.

For reference, his growths in Vanguard are going to be: 35% HP, 25% Str, 0% Mag, 10% Skl, 5% Spd, 25% Luck, 20% Def and 5% Res. At those growths, he's gonna need something like 100 extra levels to get anywhere near even being on par with your other units.

Or you know, just a lot of those stat-boosting items.

Well, he's doing pretty decently now.

What chapter are you on and what route? His usefulness as an attacker takes a sharp decline once he's no longer a mandatory party member.

Revelations, up to Chapter 20.

Trying to salvage Gunter's stats during the story is a waste of time, even with Aptitude. If you decide to keep using him, just use him as a backpack for someone else like Corrin.

You could put him through tons and tons of single-experience-point grinding at Bottomless Valley, but it takes eons and many Eternal Seals before he reaches a strength level where he can actually fight enemies that give him more than one point of experience.

I dunno, my past Revelations playthroughs I've done this method and it works pretty fine for me.

I also have Wary Fighter on him to make up for his abysmal speed and gave him some pretty sweet weapons.

No, really, Konk, Gunter is in fact that bad. He's the first proper Jeigan since Old Marcus.

He finally started to catch up with my level 20 units once he was around level 80. And he had Aptitude since around level 13 while my other units didn't get Aptitude until after I beat the game, so most of them were already 20.

Now he's strong enough that he can reliably solo Boo Camp, so future grinding will be easy at least aside from the abysmal growth rates. No more classes to run him through until they give us more Hero Brands, though.

Well, he works well for me.

Well, then hey. Keep at it.

I wish I had better luck with him myself. I wanted to use him for all of the story but he just started sucking massively around the time Kaden and Keaton joined.

Weapons like Guard Naginatas and Nohrian Blades can really give him that extra boost of defensiveness he needs.

Also, he's pretty handy with a Spear.

Well, if you're buying him skills he can't normally have like Wary Fighter and Aptitude, that would certainly give him more leeway. I also still stand by Vanguard not mattering at all, though, as if you're simply getting lucky, then it won't matter what class he's in: the luck will carry him.
