Well he didn't die (was left to 1 HP somehow), but he did show up to try to persuade Haitaka afterwards. Close enough.

Enjoyment and Excitement!

Do you think they'll ever bring back the base class Nomad? Technically, Mercenary and Archer/Outlaw already promote into bow knight, which is technically a Nomad Trooper, so there may not be a way to fit it in, but thought I might ask what the forum thinks.

I think an issue with revelation isn't just that you're being overwhelmed with units, you're being overwhelmed with two games worth of units, and the stats don't always make intuitive sense.

Like Subaki. I recall someone saying that he's more like a flying Cavalier than a real sky knight. Or Peri. I have no idea what she's supposed to be used for, but for me, her only good stat is strength.

Okay, so I was just listening to this song while grinding some of my units, and Percy got a crit with such timing that his crit portrait changing lined up perfectly with the chorus chanting "HERO!"evil grin

Either I got insanely unlucky with her growths, or she gets a bigger penalty in revelations than I'd have thought, because speed isn't what I see her getting a lot of.

I always hated when that happened! In Birthright just about everyone's a Glass Cannon, and all those rice meals kept going to Silas (with respectable defence).

Umm... so, personally... this is the first time this has happened, so I'm a bit surprised. Only a centimetre away...

Oboro is a pretty good tank as a Spear Master.

As is Hinoka, in fact most characters can Tank as Basara with Guard Naginata. A Sun Katana can also make Swordmasters untouchable evasion tanks.

Unless you're Hisame or Hinata, especially Hisame.

Swordmasters are far from untouchable, even with the Sunrise, on Lunatic. They're usually looking at facing 25-30 Hit from enemies unless they're using Duelist's Blow. This made it so my Hana was always a PP assassin over any kind of Avoid tank (which is, unfortunately, kind of a dead thing in Fates). Ryoma is a special case because he gets a ridiculously overpowered sword and lives less through dodging and more through wanton Vantage murder.

And yeah, any of the lance users are pretty good tanks in Birthright (not just Basara), because the Guard Naginata is a pretty overpowered weapon for when it first shows up and what it provides. Seriously, consider that in Awakening, it took the legendary Gae Bolg to get just +5 Def for a particular lance user. +5 Def and Res is really silly.

As for bringing back Nomad (or Astrid's PoR version of Bow Knight), I'm not sure. I definitely wouldn't get rid of Merc or the foot bow class for it. However, if there were a way to shunt the foot bow class off to promote to something else appropriate, sure, I might be okay seeing it come back. It's still have the problem of being bow locked, but at the same time, if Fates keeps the buffs it gave to bows and maybe pushes it a bit further, having a tier-1, high-Move bow user might just come in handy. If nothing else, I think it'd be a much better choice than bringing back "Yet Another Foot Bow Class, but Worse", A.K.A. Apothecary.

I think the problem with Apocatherapy is that they had skills they wanted to implement, but no idea for what it would do in a fight.

In unrelated news, it's somewhat odd how Sakura has less levels than Leo, but she has better stats in everything, despite being in the same class as him (excluding resistance, oddly enough).

Only once upgraded.

Until then it's only half the army.

A random quarter at stage one, then a random half at stage two, then everyone in the third and final rank.

I sure said that!

Actually I think it feeds half your army from the start. The first upgrade just lets you use two ingredients instead of one.

I'm trying to figure out what skills to pass down to Hinata's son, and it's proving to be a bit tricky.

Because his base class matches Hinata, he's already in line to get Lancebreaker, which complements Samurai very nicely. Peri has too many useful things to pass down, like shruiken breaker or axebreaker, and Hinata, ironically, has too few nice things to give.

Bowfaire is useless, Darting Blow and Bowbreaker are redundant... just doesn't seem like he has anything outside of Blacksmith that's useful, and that should be available by default.

I was running out of pair ups when I got to these two. The support is fairly bland, just H Inata carrying her shopping.

Ah, okay.

Anyway, I've been raising Elise!Percy and Camilla!Nina as Malig Knights, and oh my God, they are absolute juggernauts.

I tried doing the same with Beruka!Mitama, but I didn't like the way she was turning out so I waited for her to learn Savage Blow and reclassed her in to her usual Priestess.

When in doubt, pass A+ support skills down.

The good news is that if you mess up you can just buy skills off of people's castles.

Also, I did Hisame and Ophelia's C-A support, and I ship it so much now, going to try shooting for S soon because I loved their supports.
