Pairings

• F!Byleth x Felix - It's a different ending than Azure Moon, don't judge me, okay?

Recruitment Roster

    • Goals

  • Class Progression:
    • Goals

Pairings

• F!Byleth x Felix
• Dimitri x Catherine (It's not the worst pairing for these two.)
• Sylvain x Ingrid (Because holy hell Syl's pairing options are limited. I'd give him Felix, but Felix is spoken for, sorry skirt chasing ginger)
• Annette x Linhardt
• Ashe x Petra
• Dedue x Mercedes
• Anna - pairs with no one.
• Seteth x Shamir

Random Ideas

• Add Goals to list once I get a better idea of progression
• Manuela - prolly will skip, same with Hanneman.

Pairing Ideas for Golden Deer Run

• F!Byleth x Sylvain
• Claude x ?
• Felix x I don't know who yet but not Leonie, prolly Ingrid. Filed under I am not a fan of the crappy endings Felix gets with most everyone outside of Azure Moon, especially Sylvain's (which apparently is worse in the localization than the Japanese, thank you Google Translate), and while Leonie's ending isn't entirely horrible, it's still Leonie, so hell no.
• Lin x Lysithea

Golden Deer Prelim notes: Bench Leonie when feasible. Even though she's an archer, the idea of poaching and using Ashe as a replacement is much better than listening to her whine nonstop. Meanwhile, what to do with Raphael, yep, definitely phase him out because I can get a better crunchy with Hilda and sword melee/off tanking is easily filled with Byleth, Felix and Catherine.
Hilda will be the crunchy ground pounder (yes she's gotta worrrrrk. Poor thing.) Archers will consist of Claude, Ignatz and Shamir. The Golden Deer Dark Knight Brigade will be Linhardt and Lorenz. Instead of Archer House, this might end up being Pointy Stick Mage House. Lysithea will be the token badass Gremory and Marianne... kinda leaning towards Dancer/Buffbot since there'll be no shortage of off-healers (waves to the Dark Knight Brigade and Lysithea)
Meanwhile, Ingrid, Petra and Catherine will be the Flying Corp. Kinda tempted to run the DLC story before this run to unlock those classes (hello Dark Flier Lysithea).
And then there's what to do with Felix other than a variant of "Sword, please." Warmaster maybe since he has boons in Sword and Brawling.
Sylvain - gonna try Wyvern Lord this pass since his boons are Lance and Axe. Cheese flying to whatever he ends up with at the end of the Blue Lions run.
Apparently Dark Flier is limited to female characters (ugh, why game?!?!?!?!?!?!?), so scratch that idea for Felix because Dark Flier has growths in sword and reason and would have been perfect. Apparently Valkyrie is also limited to females, ugh.

Crimson Flower aka Story Completionist Run NG+ Variety Ideas Section

• Edelgard - stick to her tankiness and unique classes?
• Hubert - Dark Mage flavor unless something else comes to mind
• Ferdinand - Oh Ferdie, how I'd love to bench you, but I'll punish myself and actually use you...for what I don't know yet. Let's try Dark Knight. Or maybe not since his Mag growth is only 20%. Though I might try Dark Knight this game and then Wyvern Lord for the Husbando run.
• Caspar - See Ferdinand. His default seems to be War Master, but Felix probably does a better job at WM than Caspar. But if I WM Caspar, then I can use Felix as a Wyvern Lord (which is also fun). Dunno yet.
• Linhardt - Dark Knight (because Lin is awesome as a Dark Knight, it's the time spent in Cav/Paladin mode that suuucks. I might just cheese his Lance and Riding and have him spend life pre-30 in pure caster mode.)
• Petra - Let's try the Falcon Knight Bow hybrid option since Petra's got a boon in sword and her starting sword is D+.
• Dorothea - Mage flavor of some sort, possibly Dark Flier or do I try the Mortal Sav idea with her?
• Bernadetta - Bow/Lance Pegasus Knight needs to be tried.
• Jeritza - Right. I'll get him post TS. Um, yay?

Recruiting:

• Sylvain - duh. Since this is Caster House, we'll probably go Wyvern Lord Sylvain again (as much as I like Dark Knight Sylvain, maybe save that for the Husbando Run idea where casters will be in short supply. Or do I have Dark Knight be his funsies goal this game?)
• Felix - duh. Hmm... what do I do with Le Tsundere this game? Kinda thinking of punting to War Master with a side of Wyvern Lord again because that worked out surprisingly well in the Golden Deer playthrough.
• Lorenz - since he won't pull a Dedue in Crimson Flower, kinda tempted to have him saddle up with the Empire? The question is will he continue to be a Dark Knight?
• Yuri - He's such a lovely dancer, and can definitely hold his own.
• Hapi - Let's try her for a change of pace even though she'll be another caster in Caster House.

Odds and Ends Brain Dump

• Byleth - what should she be this run? War Cleric or a flap flap of some sort?
• Work on pairings!

Pairings

Husbando House aka Blue Lions NG+ Redux Idea Dump

• Inhouse cast:
  • Dimitri:
  • Dedue:
  • Felix: Back to sword something this run with Wyvern Lord as a side class.
  • Sylvain: back to Dark Knight for this run. Maybe side class into Wyvern Lord for monster fights once Dark Knight is largely settled?
  • Ashe: Wyvern Lord Bow/Axe/Lance wielder?
• Recruiting:
  • Linhardt: Resident Dark Knight Healbot.
  • Yuri: Dancer / Trickster
  • Balthus: War Monk or War Master?
  • Ignatz: Look into non-Archer options
  • Caspar (because I'll need the bodies) Wyvern Lord
  • Ferdie (again, needing bodies) Try Dark Knight since there'll be more time to work on his mag stats.
  • Seteth: Will join in Chapter 12. Wyvern Lord is his default mode.
  • Since we're recruiting Caspar, use Mercie as an adjutant for Caspar so their shared paralogue can be run post timeskip.

Ten Elites Run aka Golden Deer NG+ Redux Idea Dump

• The only allowed students on this run must possess one of the following crests. No exceptions, no using people with Crests of the Saints or Apostles (Sorry Linhardt and Seteth and Yuri), even as adjutants. Total challenge run here.
  • Blaiddyd: Not possible with Golden Deer
  • Riegan: Claude
  • Lamine: Mercedes
  • Goneril: Hilda
  • Daphnel: Ingrid
  • Dominic: Annette
  • Gautier: Sylvain
  • Fraldarius: Felix
  • Gloucester: Lorenz and Lysithea
  • Charon: Catherine and Lysithea
  • Maurice: Marianne

Class Ideas

• Hilda: Should she go Wyvern Lord or War Cleric? Or both for versatility? Gonna need dodge tanking, but I kind of want to see how War Cleric is with her.
• Claude: Stick with Barbarossa, but have him learn swords as well since he has a boon in Sword?
• Lorenz: What to do here since magic will be more than covered, but he's built to be a Dark Knight, so who knows.
• Sylvain: Prolly back to Wyvern Lord so he can be a dodge tank and there is no shortage of healers/casters with this crew.
• Lysithea: Dark Flier
• Mercedes: Valkyrie/Dark Flier
• Annette:
• Felix: Assassin/Wyvern Lord? Off-bow user possibly.
• Marianne: Dark Knight? It's a thought. She gets Frozen Lance as a hidden talent. Or do I turn Marianne into the dancer?
• Catherine: Falcon Knight?
• Ingrid: Falcon Knight

Byleth and the Faerghus Four NG+ Redux Idea Dump

• Another total challenge run idea, but only using Dimitri, Felix, Sylvain, and Ingrid in addition to using Byleth.
• Byleth: Falcon Knight with a sword and bow.
• Dimitri: Default unique classes? Sideclass Wyvern Lord. Actually, go War Master instead of High/Great Lord. Axe will need to be cranked since that's a bane here. Unlock previous progress on Axe/Flying.
• Felix: Will need to be War Master for this - dodge tanking is crucial here. Sideclass Wyvern Lord. Or Assassin/Dancer if Dima is going to be the War Master for this group.
• Sylvain: Dark Knight because Physic. Sideclass Wyvern Lord.
• Ingrid: Dark Knight because she's the other Physic user here. Sideclass Falcon Knight
• Who gets to be the Dancer here? The most viable candidates are Felix and Sylvain.
• Renown unlock abilities, Auth to A for everyone.
• Pairings? Someone's gonna be single, but who? Kinda thinking of max supporting the F4, and not picking who Byleth will shack up with til the end, then let the pairings end up as they will.
• Dark Seals for Dark Bishop for the mastery ability (Lifetaker)? Dark Mage needs to be unlocked in order to cert for Dark Bishop.

Flap Flap Funsies Idea Run

• Golden Deer most likely? Or is this an Azure Moon venture?

If Golden Deer then....

• Byleth, Claude, Hilda (DF), Lysithea (DF), Marianne, Lorenz - inhouse

If Azure Moon then...

• Byleth, Ingrid - FK
• Dima, Dedue, Felix, Sylvain - WL
• Mercie - DF

Crimson Flower Dark Knight/Wyvern Lord Run

• Byleth - Wyvern Lord (off bow)
• Edelgard - Wyvern Lord
• Hubert - Dark Knight (Magic)
• Ferdie - Wyvern Lord
• Lin - Dark Knight (Magic)
• Caspar - Wyvern Lord

• Constance - Valk into Dark Knight (Magic)
• Mercedes - Dark Knight (Magic)
• Yuri - Dark Knight
• Jeritza - Adjutant fodder
• Bernie and Doro are the benchwarmers?
