I didn't tried to made him the bow archer as then I lose some skills from Sniper and personally I never had Ashe going on his own so that I needed extra movement. i really wanted magic+2 and fiendish blow for the bolt axe+ & lightning axe destruction that ensued. Early game is far and away the hardest portion. I like to use Annette as a Wyvern Lord, so she can make good use of her Hero's Relic, "Crusher" on Azure Moon, or make good use of Bolt Axes outside of Azure Moon. If people want to share those builds then by all means, I'll add those to the list and just indicate NG+! Ingrid: Lv46 Falcon Knight. Although, if you do want to comment on a listed build, then as per forum rules don't necro-post on an an old thread. I generally play each game on the highest, reasonable(looking at you Awakening and Radiant Dawn), difficulty for my first play through. That's probably why I was more interested in NG only, but NG+ builds seem to be quite popular in discussions so why not include them? By providing examples of what others have used to beat the game with, I hope this category of sub-optimal but good enough builds might get exposed. As for getting the unlock, a couple of lectures and a few weeks of armor training focus forher to reachD. This was enough to unlock the class with her initial Axe rank. And I think the answer depends on many things including play style, what people set as their bar for what constitutes a "strong" build, maybe even rng during level ups. Early: Damage-, Support, Healing Late: Damage, Vantage Tank If you built a character in some uncommon way, maybe showcase the character's build with a few screenshots of what they're capable of or how you used them in battle. I see that as a good thing btw! Then I made him archer just to get the +20 hit ability. Had I not wanted the +20 avo for Petra, I would have made her a Dancer because the Meteor link was invaluable. Byleth (evade tank): Myrmidon > Mercenary + Thief > Assassin + Enlightened One. Ferdinand and Sylvain would do better as Wyvern Lord than Paladin. I decided to focus a lot on Leonie because I wanted to get her to Falcon Knight ASAP with Point Blank Volley and it did no disappoint. I had not used Jeritza before so his usefulness was a question to me. Catherine was just better, especially since she wasn't in competition for limited flying battalions. My Annette was flying around one rounding enemies and couldtake a reasonable number of hits on enemy phase until chapter 16 or so. Hilda -https://i.imgur.com/9cmi17e.jpg, Class Progression: Brigand(mastery skill) > Wyvern Rider > Wyvern Lord End: Support, Dorothea is a great dancer with a decent spell list.

He can even take some hits from mages but not a lot. At the absolute worst, it's be use a relic with this. Fire Emblem as a franchise is well known for having one or two disproportionatelystrong characters in the party at the start of the game, only for them to fall off in utility as it progresses. Late: Damage Early: Damage Cavalier and Paladin were important for the times I wanted an extra rider, which were many. So using these two builds, you could expect your endgame Wyvern Lord to have about 9.5 more speed than your endgame Paladin. Late: Damage, Dodge Tank All things related to Fire Emblem: Three Houses & Fire Emblem Three Hopes! CF was my first route though I only played it on normal. Class Progression: Soldier > Thief(for the mastery) > Pegasus Knight > Falcon Knight Class Progression: Mage>Bishop>Gremory But Gremory is better than Bishop for the extra move and higher magic bonus. Can you save scum certification exams or is it hard locked whether you pass or fail on a given day or not? Plow". No only that, but even though the weapon triangle is much reduced in this game it still exists, particularly in Maddening. Vantage tanks need to also be Damage because they only work if they can keep one rounding everything(they also tend to die to gambits and siege). At the credits, her kill count blew Dimitri(the next highest) out of the water. He ended a lot better than I expected and probably had the greatest single round damage out of everybodyon my team. Mercedes -https://i.imgur.com/Nk94Caw.jpg, Class Progression: Monk > Mage > Bishop > Gremory In fact, I ended up liking Bernie's role so much as a Sniper, I changed my plans for Leonie and made her a Sniper as well because the role was so useful. I was only talking about Annette's value as a mage. I also think it's a waste to use her as a dancer because that forces you to choose between dance or rally when you already have to choose between rally or attacking/healing. Minor Spoiler Alert: Inevitably these builds will have some minor spoilers like revealing story-related unique classes. If there was an MVP of this run, it would be Petra without a doubt. Dark Flier is also fun, but generally as a magic blaster she is going to be fairly mediocre unless she gets blessed due to her spell list. This book offers evidence that he may be even more original as a thinker about film than as a director. I guess I look at things a little differently. Eventually, I swapped back to a real class, once the dodge tanks had fully come online and I didn't need extra healing anymore. What Defense and Resistance? And she doesn't get any useful attack spells like Seraphim or Luna. Powered by Invision Community. greene county, georgia; the buffalo store transit rd 1 Later in the game I felt that throwing her as another avoid tank would be helpful. For most of the mid-game I had her in the Assassin class and this worked wonderfully well for her. I will start by addressing the context questions and then move on the the builds for each of the characters as well as the progression path I had for them. Annie Heminway, editor, teaches grammar, creative writing, translation, African cinema, and classic and Francophone literature at the SCPS of New York University. Did great damage, could take a hit or two. I personally don't think a Sword class is worth it. I'll admit I feel like it's a bit of a shame you caved into the DLC items just at the end like that (as selfish that is of me to say, apologies) but I get it, not judging. Her Reason list isn't even that bad, it's just not 'core mage' material (and it needs to be on someone with higher Mag growth than Annette, due to the low Mt of wind spells). Class Progression: Monk>Mage>Bishop>Dancer This was basically all that I did in the late game. By this I mean how a character build might fit into the context of a full team or how they might synergize with each other. All three are pretty good but I don't think she benefits that much from Gremory since her Faith spells aren't very special. What is the best class for Annette? I opted to drop Raphael back to grappler for Fierce Iron Fist after I got Quick Riposte. Her major downside was that she could not take a single hit from anyone and so I decided to give her a Retribution gambit rather than have her getting up close at any point. With Hunter's Volley, she was still able to ORKO someenemies, mostly Falcon Knights so I appreciated her contribution nonetheless. Instead, she became the single cheapest and most reliable source of "one enemy dies". I found it useful, but I utilized her as a hit and run unit with PBV more. But shes quick to die in one hit. Your previous content has been restored. Early: - When is it safe to start the DLC side story? This is my first Maddening run. When you suggest going through multiple advanced class for a unit, (Hilda mastering archer first and then go do brigand, for example). All are eventually outfitted with Alert Stance+, Weapon Prowess, Death Blow, Darting Blow, and their respective Weapon-breaker. Unfortunately, you can't really have a unit perform well as both a rally unit and a mage. Let me tell you about this boy. worth, get the no question best seller from us currently from several preferred authors. How did she even manage to not get 1-shot? She does well as a Gremory. Not uncommon for Felix but I certainly haven't seen that often for Dimitri. The only chapter which had a comparable number of resets to the early game is chapter 13.

I leave it up to the reader to go through any individual build/guide they're interested in. Even when she doesnt crit she does decent damage using Steel Bow+. In the end, I focused on trying to ensure he had just enoughStr to ORKO with Brave Sword. However, she is really the only mage that is a viable attacker that can also heal with Physic. As everyone got stronger, rally becomes less important and she's become more powerful as a mage so I switched to a Caduceus staff when I got it, range problem solved. I look at a character and try to find what they're good at and in the case of Annette what jumped out at me was her rally abilities. Admittedly, I benched her for 20 levels to level her up as a Pegasus Knight for Darting Blow and speed in general, but as soon as she hit 20 and got into the class she began tearing up the scene. My adjutants were: Lorenz on Ferdinand, Mercedes on Jeritza, and Manuela on Edelgard. If the DLC is not available, I tend to use Mercedes as the primary healer (best healer in the game) and Dorothea as a back-up to both Mercedes and Lysithea. Crusher was good when she wanted to double up close, or use Dust, and Bolt Axe was great for the range. Ferdinand is really dodgy, so I think Wyvern Lord is better for him than Paladin. They'd usually leave enemies barely alive, just like Lysithea did in the late game. But she just doesn't increase in value nearly as much as most units in the game as the game progresses. Joshua Moore As I don't have the DLC, I can only vote Dark Knight. Early: Damage- I'm not sure what you mean by this Are you saying solo Maddening isn't optimized? Ingrid in particular needs to immediately get into an advanced tier class at level 20 in case her strength is lagging to shore up her strength. Paste as plain text instead, Put her through Fighter, Brigand (try to master it), then maybe Wyvern Rider before her final class of Falcon Knight. Felix is actually better as a War Master/Grappler or Sniper on this mode. Ferdinand never felt particularly strong aside from Swift Strikes. Even after getting Death Blow, her damage was still not enough to really do much even against fliers. For awhile, Lorenz occupied her place on the team because I was able to get him much earlier but ultimately decided I preferred another archer over another magic user and Lorenz had the utility of being paired up with Ferdinand for a Mt boost. Mid: Healing, Support I used Hapi as a Dark Knight on Hard and really loved her but on Maddening Gremory is probably best so she has double Warp. Men principal. I can imagine a high res early-game armor knight cheese much of the early game. Annette -https://i.imgur.com/wo5x2H1.jpg, Class Progression: Monk >Mage > Armor Knight(unlock) > Warlock > Wyvern Rider > Wyvern Lord Annette (along with Ignatz) is a very good rally unit. The one difference that you *should* pay attention to is speed. Lastly, with examples to look at including stats, skills, and battalions, it can serve as a reference for those interested in specific examples of stats at the end game. Master Mage while training axe/flying, then go Wyvern Rider at Level 20. Each character can have several important roles. Compared to Valkyrie you get a couple extra magic power (which matters little when you're hitting for 40-50/turn) and no effective extra range (Dark Knight has more movement, but less spell range). Noble -> Fighter -> Brigand -> Wyvern Rider -> Wyvern Lord, Noble -> Monk -> Mage -> Warlock -> No master class, Noble -> Monk -> Mage -> Warlock -> Gremory, Other (if so, then please tell me in the comments below). Bernadetta struggled quite a lot throughout the early-mid game and didn't do much more then provide some chip damage before others came in to finish off. I used it to contain Ladislava in Ch 12 while I took care of other enemies. Maddening is an unforgiving mode where a misplaced unit will more often than not, lead to death. Fighter - Brigand - Assassin (Falcon Knight on last 2 maps), Sword Prowess Lv5, Swordfaire, Sword Crit +10, Sword Avo +20, Alert Stance+, Final Lv 35: Highest Stats Spd 46, Dex 36, Primary Items: Wo Dao+, Rapier+, Brave Sword, Evasion Ring, Battalion: Cichol Wyvern Co +7PAtk, +15Hit, +15Crit, +5Avo, +6Prt, +1Rsl, +10Cha. I prefer Valkyrie to Dark Knight due to the preposterous amount of riding weapon experience required to get into the class.
