Azure Moon has Gilbert. VW should get Judith and CF should get DK.

I want playbable Rhea in SS. Though If I could have her in VW too, she and Nemesis could have rematch.

i've been saying that the potential prequel DLC should star: Seiros and her war with Nemesis and the Agarthans. Seiros does need her own Sympathetic POV because she's either psychotic and bloodthirsty or she's kidnapped post time skip.

Claude only rules one country; he never holds rank in Leicester and Almyra simultaneously, and in Leicester he shares power with a council.

Marth ruled, like, seven countries.

If someone rules over multiple countries, are they considered multiple countries?

Yup. It's called a personal union. Ireland, for example, actually had a separate parliament but shared a king with England for about 600 years until the 1800 Act of Union. There was also a period of about 250 years where Scotland was also a seperate country sharing a king with both England and Ireland. Likewise, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark shared a king from 1397 until 1523. Heck, Austria actually transitioned into such a state in 1867 by giving Hungary basically full independence but maintaining a single monarch between them.

And as Tenzen 12 noted, the UK shares a monarch with Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.

Im saddened Claudes not-Mom Judith isn't playable...I just want a support with Claude where she continues the nagging.

I want a support between Judith and Nardel.


[up]Yes, obviously.

I'd expand on that by having Seiros an Nemesis start as allies against the Agarthans, but Nemesis gradually slides into villainy as Thales works to corrupt him. Maurice becoming the Wandering Beast would be an event in the story that shocks the two of them, and I could even see Seiros gritting her teeth and continuing to work with Nemesis even after he makes weapons out of the bones of her family because the Agarthans are the greater threat. Actually, perhaps the early Hero's Relics were made from people who had already died, and Seiros only fully fell out with Nemesis when he started murdering people to gain ever better weapons. The final scene of the campaign is the the one that opens the main game.

I just took a quick look at the AO 3 tag for Three Houses and wow is the fandom nuts.

3.4K fics already!

That's 15% of the total 22000~ fics in the general Fire Emblem.

...Now I just have to finish the game so I don't get spoiled by taking a browse though the tags.

[up][up] To be fair, Claude is friends with Teach, with their alliance they technically rule over each other's countries, and i'm sure that Claude has more ruling experience than Byleth.

Chapter 7 done; Dimitri really does live up to his mantra of "killing every last one of them" because holy fuck he is mowing down everything.

Are Edelgard and Claude just as busted in their routes? Jeez

I've heard that Dimitri is actually the weakest of the three, becaue Wyvern Lord and Barbarossa are the most op classes and Dimitri has weakness in axes.

Edelgard is crazy strong for my playthough.

I just throw her into the fray and she counter's everything to death with a Hand Axe.

Byleth's surpassed her recently though, because I had her as an Assassin for a while, and the better movement meant she was getting more XP.

Yeah I think Edelgard's the only unit in the game who gets both crazy good def and pretty good res.

Claude is a WIND GOD WHO RAINS DOWN FLYING DEATH!

Claude is apparently the least capable in a one-on-one fight, but in my playthrough, he was the one who beat both Edelgard and Dimitri; at some point, increases to Str and Def become irrelevant. Since Claude's unique classes are flyers, he has better range and isn't affected by terrain, gets Canto, plus he'll probably learn Alert Stance which, combined with an impressive Spd, makes him a mighty dodge tank. His unique skill gives him Pass and an XP boost, his unique combat art gives ridonkulous range, and Failnaught's unique combat art makes him literally unhittable.

Judging by the issues Raphael's been giving me with "slow, but sort of durable" starting units, I predict I'm going to have the most issues with Black Eagles and Edelgard (I mean, if they're willing to give Hubert 17 Atk and 7 AS, I'm really not looking forward to fighting Lysithea). Dimitri could go either way. I see him sort of like Byleth in that he should be a tank with enough Speed to not getting totally owned (the game also gave him 10 AS when I fought him, but I doubt that's reflective of how he'll be as a player unit). Honestly, Curved Shot shenanigans with fairly rapid growth and good damage (and decent enough accuracy) and just enough Speed to safely bait 13-AS Mages if he needs to has Claude setting a pretty high bar for usefulness. The other two lords are going to have to work pretty damned hard.

Just never use Edelgards personal class. It is objectively bad. Really just heavy armor classes in general are bad, because of how bad their move is.

Bow Knights are better.

That said Edie can make most of being Wywern Lord

I see. Wyvern lord is great all around, and it makes her look a bit like Ashnard.

For what it's worth, I had exactly one moment of trouble with Edie in Emperor, and that was her getting wrecked by a crit from Hilda. A little while after that she tanked a crit from Dimitri, of all people. Then again, I do play this game in the 'put people in danger radii and wait for the bad guys to kill themselves' way, so maybe don't take tactical advice from me.

It's been fun.

Canto in general is pretty busted, but fliers can do some really dumb, trolly things to the enemy because terrain set up to mess up those shenanigans with horses doesn't do jack against fliers. Bow Knight can kinda get around the horse hate terrain with its obscene range.

[up]x6 Yeah, even discounting their Move, I did the math and found they typically end up taking more damage from enemies simply because they end up getting doubled. Maybe if Raph had a personal more akin to Leonie's, but even then. And the sad thing is, he runs into these issues early on without even being an armoured class simply because his base Spd is bad and it's difficult to make up for it. I mean, Gauntlets kinda let him be a bit safer, but it hoses his counterattack damage. And, like... when you're doing 2x4 to the enemy healers in the first bandit mission with Iron Gauntlets... like, sorry, Raph, I dunno what to say.

The fact that dismounting and mounting are free actions make fliers that much better, since if they want to take advantage of terrain bonus or not take extra damage from bows, they can just do that with no repercussions then remount next turn.
