It just becomes worse, because I can't level up the class evenly because I use only the stronger characters in order to kill enemies out of fear for the lives of the weaker ones, which in turns makes the strong ones op and the weaker ones severely underlelveled. So, does anyone know how I can switch to casual mode mid-game? If it's impossible, can someone please tell me how deep I am into the story? I picked the golden deer house, and I Reveal hidden contents Just got Flyan added to my class Take advantage of the divine pulse. Just keep in mind the result of any action remains the same, it just gives you the option of doing something else. (at least that is how it works with certification and the calendar.). To say it another way, if I go to certify Bernadetta into wyvern lord with a 46 percent chance of succeeding, and it fails, if I reload that save, it will still fail, every single time. I have to wait till next week to try again and possibly succeed. I have tested it to a degree with the divine pulse and it seems to work similarly. If an attack missed and then you divine pulse, it will still miss if you do the same thing. You have to select a different power for a chance at a different result. So move your weaker ones in to attack. If it goes poorly, divine pulse, and try to kite the enemy with your stronger ones, and send in the weaker ones to finish them off. Edit: also I believe depending on your difficulty level, you can do battles on the weekends that do not take activity points. Apparently according to some places I have read, if you play that type of map till your characters are just about to die, and then use the retreat command on the menu, you keep all the XP you gained, but you didn't lose anyone and can then replay the map to do it all over again. So you could rinse repeat that to grind your weak ones up to the same level as your strong ones, and be balanced.

I don't think I'll avlbuse it to level up characters as that sounds kind of tedious, but I certainly will take advantage of it in bad situations... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyndlerunner Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 Well, having been playing Awakening for the past couple of weeks, I can say with a surety that it really would benefit from full voice acting. (Also, unless the plot pulls some major twists that I don't know yet, It probably won't surpass Three Houses' narrative in my mind.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathfinder Posted September 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 About to do a Golden Deer run myself since I just finished my Black Eagle (siding with Edelgard) run. I am thinking of making Lysithia a paladin (i think, have to check), then dancer, then mortal savant, while focusing on sword and magic. That way she gets +20 avoid when wielding a sword, gets +15 avoid when using the wait command, can counter attack from any distance (except archers that use curved shot), and if an enemy is resist to magic or extra beefy, can use soulblade (Magic stat+Resist state damage). Rapheal is going to be a tank. Thinking of recruiting Syvain, so he can hang out with Hilda to effectively have a +5 damage. Ignatz I am trying to decide whether to keep him as an archer, or make him a sword master with the +20 hit to help him land astra hits and increase his crit. Lorenz is pretty open, haven't had a chance to check him out yet. Marianne from what I understand is a really good healer, so probably will go that route with her. Maybe make her a gremory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Deer advice time. If you do Lorenz's paralogue, you get a relic that functions with the Crest of Gloucester (one of the crests that Lysithea has), if you equip the right skills and make her a Gremory, you have yourself a tactical nuke.

(Also, unless the plot pulls some major twists that I don't know yet, It probably won't surpass Three Houses' narrative in my mind.) Awakening doesn't have the strongest narrative. All things considered it's a pretty basic one. But a simple story is very rarely a divisive one. Awakening has strong characters, strong designs (that IMO balance right on the edge of fantasy and super anime-y very well), and fun - if a little broken and easy to use - gameplay. Overall, it does what it does well. 10 hours ago, Wyndlerunner said: Also, the whole Marianne= Best Girl/ Disney Princess vibe is strong with this one MARIANNE IS BEST GIRL.
