Yeah, these maps are definitely designed for Material Grinding. Just check out all of those archers.

Yeah, and like I said, that's only for getting them to "S-Rank" for weapons. That's not counting the ones that you'll need for attack/defense crests.

Not so sure on that, it says that it raises the points, but I've never actually seen the support level go up for anyone go up a support level after battle when the character wasn't deployed. If it does raise them, then I'd expect it raises them a lower amount if they aren't deployed.

Sword as well. All the sword users need sword materials to upgrade weapon ranks, so you're going to constantly be grinding for them. Every single Sword user has a unique sword that can be fully upgraded, so you're going to need 22 Silver Myrmidon materials for each of them, meaning 220 Silver Myrmidon materials total. Or 198 if you don't feel like upgrading both Rowan and Lianna's weapon, since they can pass it between each other.

So basically what you're saying is that they made Lyn, Celica and Anna at the last minute and cut out Oboro and Niles, and just decided to cut Navarre and Owain out at the same time for shits and giggles? And what of the Anna mementos? Were they just in there for no reason as well, since Anna apparently wasn't playable. And this is what magically brought the amount of Lance/Axe/Bow/Magic users coincidentally in sync, since before they were going to have an extra lance user. Sounds legit. You're just trying to be funny, aren't you? Have you played no recent Musou games aside from this one? The DLC for Musous is worked on alongside the main game all the time, DLC characters being in the game (but enemy only) before being released is standard practice.

So do you think they were only going to give us three history mode maps in the base game, or that they were going to have the "Fates" pack feature Lyn and Celica instead or something?

Hello hello where is the proofs.

The DLC characters who aren't already in the game will probably use their own materials or the other DLC materials, kind of like how Lyn and Celica use each other's materials in their attack crests.

Sometimes it also takes her quite a while to show up after you fulfill the condition because she's waiting for a free "event" slot to open up. I've had 1k kill scrolls that didn't show up until I was at over 1.6k kills a few minutes later.

The one immediately after he joins, kill all three Fafnirs before taking out Gharnef

Generally, yes. Just be sure to do the specific side mission that the character you have deployed mentions, and you obviously will need to have them deployed as either an NPC or a playable character.

Getting A Supports with most characters available in the story is actually easier than it seems, every story level has a mission in it that completing will give everyone deployed a significant amount of support pointswith a certain character, usually it's the first level after you recruit them. This makes it pretty easy to grind A Supports with up to 6-7 characters at a time, depending on the level.

I always get which one is which confused, but yeah, you get what I mean.

Using the strong 2 attack on most characters (two weak attacks and a heeavy) is usually very good for raising kill counts. I think the only characters it's not a minor AoE attack for would be the archers and other two axe users (it still is for Lissa but it has so much endlag on it that it's not worth spamming).

That's why you need those skills, they prevent all flinching and knockback while attacking or running, if you also have Astra on her she can actually move faster doing 3light attacks in a row and then rolling than she can while walking, making you functionally immune to knockback.
