Looking at the classes and how they connect as a whole, Battle Cleric exists so Clerics and Troubadours would have something to promote to that would be noticeably different from Sage/Valkyrie to have variety in options. It just wasn't a good option, for the most part.

Also they're pretty similar to D&D clerics, who spend part of their time healing and part of their time bashing people's heads in with a mace; and axes are close enough to maces I guess.

Has anyone gotten a Double Bow from IDW and at some later point loaded the game without the SD card and checked to see if the Double Bow shows up properly without it?

This will answer the question of whether the Double Bow is programmed into FE13 or downloaded with IDW, and should also answer whether or not we'll eventually get it for free through SpotPass or something. I'd check it myself, but I don't have a Double Bow.

[Remnant Sage]

I just got the Double Bow and it shows up properly when the game is loaded without the SD card.

Does anyone know how "dual assistance" is prioritised if there's more than one adjacent unit to the active unit?

[Lord Raven]

The one with the highest support level joins, but you still get support from all adjacent units.

I have a question about internal levels. (Don't have the game, so sorry if I screw up some of the details.

Say I want to change Krom(Lord) into a Cavalier. I wait to level 10 (10 internal levels) so he can get Charisma.
As a Cavalier, will he continue getting exp as if he was Level 10?

And with promoting, say I go from Lord to Great Lord. Previous games the experience gained as a promoted unit wasn't dependant on when you promoted. like promoting at level 10 vs. level 20.
In Awakening, would you gain levels faster promoting earlier [(10/1) vs (20/1)], or does it balance out?


I'm wondering since I always had the compulsion to go to Level 20 then promote for the stat gains, but class changing/promoting early seems like it would be the fastest way to get all the skills and level up. It seems the internal leveling system makes going all the way to 20 pointless, except when you want to max stats, or if there a skill you REALLY want.

[Othin]

Class level = Displayed level (+20 if promoted, +0 if not)

When a character uses a Change Seal, the game saves half their class levels as internal levels, which then get added to their class levels when determining Exp gain. So:

10 Lord --> 1 Cavalier = LV6
20 Lord --> 1 Cavalier = LV11
10 Lord --> 1 Great Lord = LV21
20 Lord --> 1 Great Lord = LV21

Internal levels are cumulative from all times using a Change Seal, as well as the DLC class items; they work the same way - up to a point. The game only saves a certain number of internal levels per character depending on the mode.

Normal: 20
Hard: 30
Lunatic: 50

So on Normal, no matter how many times you reclass Krom, when he's a LV1 Great Lord, he'll gain Exp as at most a LV41 unit, which isn't great, but it's reasonable with the sorts of enemies he can take on. On Lunatic, however, if you've reclassed him enough, his Exp gains can slow to the pitifully slow rate of a LV71 character even as a LV1 Great Lord, and they'll just get slower as he progresses in the class. Fortunately, there's a minimum of 8 Exp per kill, and characters in this situation will make full use of it.

It's worth noting that enemies can have internal levels as well, but I don't know how much or when.

[Lord Raven]

The 8 EXP minimum applies to higher modes then?

[Othin]

The 8 EXP minimum applies to higher modes then?

Yes.

I should note that the minimum is before applying War Experience and Paragon, so with both, you can get up to 24 Exp on the most lopsided of kills. Simply hitting an enemy only has a 1 Exp minimum, however, before considering all this, and on Lunatic/Lunatic+ with SpotPass skirmishes, all battles give just 1 Exp no matter what.

Is there a funny character in this game? ^^'

Are the supports back to their FE6-9 good-ness?

Does this answer your question?

When you encounter a spotpass team unit do you get to choose if you can hire them or fight them or no?

[Tyrion Lannister]

My body is ready.

[Lord Raven]

When you encounter a spotpass team unit do you get to choose if you can hire them or fight them or no?

Yes, you can choose to fight or hire them. You can even buy things from them.

[Othin]

Yes, you can choose to fight or hire them. You can even buy things from them.

Specifically, as with past-game SpotPass teams, you can buy one of each item they're holding. The team leaves afterward, though.

after the skirmish is finished or after purchasing their items and can you hire them and purchase their items or no?

[arvilino]

You can only do one of those actions(either skirmish with them, hire them with gold or purchase items) and they'll dissapear until you summon them to the map through the spotpass menu again.

How good is Lightning Speed in practice? It looks to be absolutely incredible, but does that transfer over to gameplay or is it just another "pretty good but not excellent" skill?

It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like. I'd say it's the second best skill in the game, after Rainbow Cry.
