Rhea is probably the best fighter in the series. Considering that Nemesis scales with Byleth and Shez.... and Byleth needed help to beat Nemesis. And Rhea beat Nemesis alone

Am I on to something here or am I trippin’? Lol~

You may gain her trust, but good luck
convincing her to come outside.

Based on what we know so far, Anatolia is very likely having an unique part 2

In part 3 she was called “Queen of Kingdom of Solomon”.

Given she didn’t have such title in part 1, it’s only reasonable to assume that her part 2 would be more on her establishing her new kingdom, also explains why she was never seen in part 2 so far.

Are you big and strong but slow? Do you have 5 speed at level 5? Come to Ornius high!

Upon getting your acceptance letter into ornius high you get

Instant results: All recipients upon entry to Ornius high will be guaranteed to be at at least 11 speed *

Permanent results: All entrants to Ornius high with less than 8 speed will be given speed Permanently that you can keep with you upon promotion to any other department. (serious note, this is the single most important part of ornius high)

Long Lasting improvement: All entrants to Ornius high will gain 10% speed extra per level,

Extra move :Not only will you have 1 additional move, Ornius high will allow you to climb up ledges and move around obstacles you couldn't do on foot!

Weapon access: The Da Mina sword the best ** weapon available can be used while on the ornius, so you won't feel a lack of weapon utility

Ease of advancement : Orinus high grants easy access to Wing Soldier, Armored Ornius, Shiido and Dragoon, the strongest advanced and Specialist programs.

*3 of that speed is owned by ornius high itself and will have to be given back upon graduation, but fear not as upon graduation other units have nearly as good or better instant speed stats.

** Qiankun circles are not available while in ornius rider university, so keep this in mind when looking for 1-2 range, the levin sword, Javelin and Short spear are your friends

About a year ago I wanted to finally play all the way through Fire Emblem Shadows of Valentia, but the cartridge is seemingly dead. I have a 3ds XL and a 2ds. Is it worth going through the trouble of jail breaking one to try and save the cartridge or are there other methods I can try to fix it?

Ayo i lowk cooked on this one
Shading is lowk ass though, i still need to work on that

Constructive criticism appreciated!!!

I didn't realize there was a difference in the JP and EN script regarding Mediator reproductive capabilities until recently due to discussion about the datamines.

In the English version of Mediators II, the passage about Mediator reproduction goes:

"Furthermore, in anticipation of the possibility that a Mediator is the sole survivor of unforeseen extreme circumstances, they are designed to be capable of a variety of methods of reproduction to ensure the survival of human civilization. This is an important physical feature of all Mediators."

However, the JP version of the same passage goes:

"Furthermore, anticipating that a Mediator may encounter an unforseen event under extreme circumstances and become the sole survivor, in order for them to duplicate themselves and leave possibilities for human civilization's continued existence, they are designed to be capable of parthenogenesis. This is also a major physical characteristic of a Mediator."

Parthenogenesis is a form of asexual reproduction that some animal species are capable of (including some kinds of reptiles such as salamanders). Contrary to the English script, which is more open to interpretation, the Japanese script is rather specific about only asexual reproduction as an apparent additional function.

Of course, this does nothing to answer questions about some endings like Alexandra's. If anything it raises even more questions.

I think these will be the free recruits on the 4 DLC-paths.
Nydine and Io on Anatolia and Talimun, because they have no mounted unit, Noctula on Orchel, since she has no fist-user and Peppe on Bertrand for bows. These 4 also don't appear in the story.

Except for KINDA Peppe, but you get him on BERTRAND's paraloque. The only other canditates who are NOT in the Heroic Games are Nuzzuo, who is a boss in Cai's and Theodora's path and Kiroc, but Kiroc talks about Talimun screwing him over, so I'm guessing he's a boss there.

The reason I'm ordering them like this btw, is because currently the free recruit match the Flame Lord's gender:
Cai - Guzzran
Dietrich - Yang Jie
Theodora - Sofia
Leda - Catania

This could ofc just be a coincidence, so you could say Nydine goes on Talimon's team instead.

And why is it Halberd+1?

I will admit, I am absolutely guilty of this. I hated Raphael in 3H because of his too tight shirt and ugly face. I still don't like him to this day lol. Maybe it's petty. but I have to actually like a character for me to want to to use them, and design plays a part in that. Hortensia in Engage was another one, doesn't help she sounded annoying too. Maybe she's good but idc I couldn't stand her.

Like he makes garron look like a loving father, thales like a saint, sombron a tragic puppy, and grima look misunderstood. Like if there was ever a person in the sothisverse that absolutely deserved the treatment balor and zanado got this absolute evil pos. There isn't a redeeming quality to him outside his dragon design.

I'm on my last part 1 playthrough and felt inspired to do some art!

I keep saying Leda's "There's a man..." line from the trailer in Buccar's country accent.

Also Olympia running around with a Mace is very fun.

I beat Routeless Part 3 on Normal. Clocked in at around 10 hours. I know it's not the greatest achievement as others have done it on Hard. I would place Routeless Normal as more difficult than 4 Routes Hard.

Heres my tips. Please share your own below for anyone who wants to try. Really fun challenge. I recommend people try it while they wait for the DLC.

* Early game is hard as you have no money, no world map, no materials, and no weapons. I rushed Dungeons and sold weapons and accessories I wouldn't use to grind my way out of poverty and get Eshmel into Fortress Knight to grind armour ranks. You want Healing Armour as soon as possible to get some sustain, or you will keep running out of HP and be unable to heal. Troy can help with heals. Early weapon recommendation is a maxed out Short Spear. You can find a Pilum in one of the dungeons.

* World Map: dungeons are good early. You want at least 2 Diadem Keys to get Godhand, Avatar, and Trident. The carriages in Arago and near Megaira are really important to get online. The Megaliths are also super helpful as they're good dungeons and free Warp Points. Try to snag some Agarthium to level up Zerberus. Temples are good but optional. They give Warp Points, items, and money, but require rare materials. Credna is the most important since he upgrades the spear

* Characters: Eshmel is cracked. Fortress Knight into Castle Knight with Healing Armour carries most of the game. Lategame I went Trident for White Magic. Troy is absolutely ridiculous and can solo maps. Once you upgrade Zerberus and get Modified Weapon she's good to go. Victory gem helps Troy sustain. Hong Hua really wants White Magic Treatises or Arena to get online, which is really tough since you need to repair towns. I couldn't get this going till much later. In the meanwhile she outputs serious damage with Salamander but needs babying since she is squishy. White Magic is free XP

* Gate Missions: the first few are easy but you must explore the area ahead of time so you don't burn turns trying to unlock the world map routes. Always split into 2 squads. The later gate Missions with 2-3 gates are extremely tight as they're balanced around 4-5 squads and I failed the last one by a few turns and had to retry. You really need the warp points and carriages to make it. For the multi gate ones, I had Hong Hua deal with mobs and miasma and Troy assaulted the gate on her own. For the final, I rushed the top left gate with both, took some hits on Dagsion then circled back to the middle one then bottom. Extremely tight.

* Final Mission: actually pretty difficult. I had try run around and attack gates and then Eshmel and Hong Hua would solo Balor. You need to gun down healers as soon as possible. Hong Hua can block routes with Wandering Wall. The mission dragged so long I almost ran out of Heals. But you do need to take it slow and not overcommit. For the last phase, Hong Hua can Bolting a gate if you can't reach it by movement.

Good luck anyone who tries this!

Those who have completed multiple routes, how did you find them?

I started off with Leda, but regretted it pretty early on (and the end too...). Dietrich, on the other hand, felt so much better and I wished he was my first instead. That said, trying to decide whether to do Theodore or Cai next, but Cai looks like the one I'll enjoy the least since people say it has a lot of chores. I prefer combat overall, so, that does play a big role.

What about you? This is all super subjective of course.
