I don't know if I just got RNG blessed or what, but my Rinkah has been an unstoppable killing machine after just a couple level ups. She's one of my most useful units in my current Birthright playthrough. I also paired her up with Kaze.

I agree with you that it is better in Fates than Awakening... my original comment was targeted at the topic creator and their original post.

I disagree with your opinion about the pair-up system. The pair-up system in awakening was extremely powerful and practically broke the game, making too easy (unless you were playing Lunatic/Lunatic+ with no grinding, then it was necessary). I think the pair-up system in Fates was an improvement, and a step in the right direction, but not quite perfect. I also think the new system is MORE dependable because you know exactly when you'll be able to dual guard and/or dual attack. You can more reliably plan your strategies around it. I still think it's a little too strong of a mechanic, and I don't like how guard stance is usually the better option as opposed to attack stance. I'd like to see it more balanced in the next game.

Has anyone been able to read/translate what the new DLC is, and any possible rewards?

I usually reference these lists when naming weapons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mythological_objects#Weapons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_magical_weapons Some of my favorites are: Dáinsleif, Galatine, Longinus and Anglachel

I am aware that you need the appropriate jewel to forge a weapon, I have plenty of each kind and have forged some iron and unique weapons. It just won't let me forge bronze or brass weapons. Edit: I figured it out, I was trying to forge a Hoshido weapon (Brass Naginata) and I am currently playing Conquest. Funny how all the other weapons I forged just happened to be Nohr based.

Amiibos are not "region-locked", so to speak. You can use an Amiibo from any region on any 3DS. I have a japanese Marth and he works just fine with all of my Amiibo compatible games, including my U.S. version of Fire Emblem: Fates.

Can you not forge bronze/brass weapons, or am I missing something?

Oh I see now, thanks for clarifying!

Okay, it might be, I honestly have no idea. So if I visit someone's castle at 11:30 pm, come 12:01am I can visit it again because it's technically the next day?

When I try to visit someone else's castle for a second time, it says try again tomorrow. Does anyone know the exact cool down time? Is it 8 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours? Or is it tied to how many chapters you've played?

It's also worth noting that Grandmaster has better Magic, Skill, Speed & Resistance caps, as well as better Magic, Skill & Resistance growths. This helps Leo as he is more of a magic user than a physical one.

Do the accessories show up in all battles, or just My Castle battles?

awesome! great to know. I plan on making Hana a Great Lord once she reaches lv10 to help with her durability, but I would like to bring her back to Trueblade for the skills

This seems like it would actually be very useful for training units that are weak/behind. 1 hit with the pebble won't kill them, but will weaken them enough for the weaker unit to finish off and gain experience.
