My professor rank is A+ now. I'm running out of things to spend my professor points on. I start the month doing the monthly tournament for the money + item, I use the sauna, the choir practice and the special meal for the monthly bonus. After that I cook more meals for anyone who isn't at max motivation. Is there really anything else to do?

Also had a pretty good paralogue battle. It was the one with Caspar and Mercedes when they chase after the Death Knight. I never use those characters so when the battle began I hid in some bushes. Also when the battle began I missed a few shots against the NPCs so I wasted Divine Pulse a few times to try and correct that. Then out of no where an NPC with a bow started going after Caspar. I had to Divine Pulse a few more times to strategically prevent him from killing Caspar. These NPCs were 10+ levels higher than Caspar and Mercedes so they were getting two shotted.

Dorothea (Dancer) and Lysithea (using warp) saved me though after I was down to my last Divine Pulse. The battle took me two hours but it left me cautious for future battles.

The only fish I ever really cook are Bullheads for speed.
Those are rare for me to find.

There's another character that is like this as well when you recruit him out of house.
How did I forget about Ashe? He became one of my favorite male characters. I just got him back last night after the battle in the Valley of Torment.

Don't use choir practice. It's pretty useless. Meals also get redundant if you buy gifts every month. I just do a tournament for the free prize and then sauna for the rest of the day to get as much tutoring done as possible.

Bullheads and other fish are very plentiful if you stock up on bait every month and then spend them all on fistful of fish. That is incredibly tedious though.

Speaking of Goddess Messenger and Marianne, I actually did get enough to make 9 Best of Fodlan.
This was my Marianne in my VW run. +2 on every stat due to Best of Fodlan.

I wouldn't say "never do chior practice" but the instances are few and far between and almost entirely involve "[Character] needs just a little more Faith for Warp/Rescue/class certification"

By late White Clouds and the entirety of post-skip I basically just mash through tournaments every week. It's an extra several thousand bucks that goes towards weapon repairs.

This month is pretty sad. Both Dimitri and Gilbert are dead, with Annette rightfully being the most upset. People are saying Dedue is dead but I thought he was still alive. Is Rodrigue also dead? Felix didn't say anything if he was.

I stopped giving gifts but you're right that sounds more efficient. Give gifts to max motivation and use sauna to earn more points during instruct week.

Too bad you can only earn one weapon per month. But the extra money does sound nice.

The extra money isn't that much, it's around 1250 midgame and 3000 lategame. You get way more from doing auxillary battles, especially the bonus exclamation ones that the updates/DLC give which give like 12,000 (btw you are breaking Demonic Beast armor right? You should always do that every time. non-buyable ores are the rarest resource in the game.) I find Sauna more useful since the equivalent of making up for Sauna is broken weapon grinding which is really annoying.
Although, in a non-auxilarry battle run I can see Tournaments being more useful since Sauna doesn't increase that much.

Whenever you fight monsters there are 4 yellow squares. You break them by targeting that square. Breaking all 4 squares yields rare ore, the only consistent ways to get them. Lizard and boss monsters require two hits to break their squares (other monsters start off with already cracked squares). They regenerate all their squares to full if they pull off their "gambit". Gambits/effective weapons break a "full square" in one hit and gambits also crack the square of other tiles they hit (although I guess you haven't been using gambits).
Breaking a single square will cause them to get confused for one round where they wont counterattack the next hit (you can chain this by breaking a square one at a time). Breaking all their armor not only yields rare ore, it causes them to get fully confused for one turn where they won't counterattack for a whole turn. Once all squares of their armor is broken they won't regenerate it.

Damn >_> I never knew that. Sucks too because I recently completed Marianne's paralogue and I made it a point to defeat every monster in the zone before fighting the boss. From now on I'll start doing that. What exactly is the point of rare ore? I was using a Brave Axe for Seteth but it broke and I had no way to repair it. Is it for repairing those high end weapons?

Wolves drop Wootz Steel, Birds and Golems drop Mythril, Lizards drop Umbral Steel. Worms and spoiler enemies drop spoiler ore. Yep, Brave Weapons/high tier 1-2-3 range weapons require Wootz Steel. Blessed, Sacred, and Regalia weapons (Rusted weapons which only randomly drop from Rare Encounter monsters so you probably haven't gotten any) require Mythril, Hero Relics require Umbral Steel.
And yeah, Marianne's paralogue is a major source of ore.

I'm of the opinion that aux battles are just soulless anti-fun. So I don't do them anymore. I especially stopped doing them after several playthroughs when my goal was just to get to the next chapter as efficiently as possible. So doing 6-8 arena toward the second half of the game was a good source of money.

Also not doing auxs means it's easier to keep motivation topped up so you get the most out of tutoring and can have builds go online faster. This is even more important if you are saunaing.

On a related note, fuck the sauna system. Whoever designed that awful mini game deserves to be fired.

No, but you aren't gaining any either. So if you do an aux before a week with tutoring your students will likely not be optimally motivated for the instruction. Now typically, especially early game it's not that big a deal because you have more students than points. But sometimes you want to rush certain students tutoring to hit benchmarks faster (like getting Dark Spikes before Death Knight, Warp as fast as possible, key combat arts, or A Authority on Dimitri so he can just murder everyone for the rest of the game). Auxiliary battles make that much more difficult.

You're probably completely right on this. It's likely why my progress has slowed to a crawl along with the technical difficulties I'm facing right now. (Currently the device I'm playing it on is very busted.)

Got a pretty intense scene with Bernie surviving a crit by the skin of her teeth. Also Jeritza solo quest caught me off guard with all the enemies being even higher leveled than Jeritza. Managed to do it though.

It'll be even better once I get her lancefaire from Falcon Knight. I forgot FK needed Sword gains so I had to get her sword that I otherwise wasn't using at all up to par. Speaking of, I intend to make Linhardt a Holy Knight and his riding is at C and Lance at E and HK for some weird reason needs Riding to be A, not Faith. I'm probably going to need to grind for that.

I'm aware. Just doing that since I had nobody in that class last run. Although Trickster seems pretty garbage too. Thought I could swap around Marianne for Dancer and Trickster to gain some level ups in Trickster pre timeskip since Dancer actually cuts your growth rates but outside of Speed Trickster's stat boosts are actually WORSE than Dancer's and doesn't have Dancer's Full Magic or Dance ability.

Trickster is terrible. It has a minor niche at letting them stay close to your units to heal because stealth, but halved magic ruins it.

Honestly half-magic shouldn't even exist. Either you can spell or you can't.

That said Dancer doesn't care about growths. It doesn't need any growths to do the only thing it should ever be doing. Dance.

And be prepared to be extremely underwhelmed by Holy Knight. It basically plays identically to Dark Knight except it does less damage and is somehow worse at healing. It does look cool though.

Marianne has a really great avo rate with Sword+20, A rank Sword and Evasion Ring though. I like seeing the funny dancer twirl to avoid attacks and do poses with the Levin Sword/killing enemies with Soulblade.
Yeah, I understand Holy Knight is garbage so my expectations are at the bottom. Having him on a Horse should be fun though and he has White Range+1 so I'll try to snipe things with Nosferatu.

Every final battle is different. I don't know what happens in Blue Lion but from what I've heard GD is very similar to SS, almost the same besides the final battle (and a few of the middle chapters) with the main thing being that Rhea's fate in GD will always be the same as if you didn't A rank Rhea in SS, which means you missed out a bit on not A ranking Rhea since that's the main difference in SS.

Ive really overestimated my units after returning from a skirmish.

I needed this Bow Knight dead because it would've killed Hubert otherwise.
RIP my boy Claude. I actually forgot I had to beat him with Byleth or Edelgard to spare him so I just got their dialogue and had Manuela kill him because I needed the EXP but I'd intended for him to die anyway since it's only fair when every other lord dies on other routes.
Also that Hubert Hanneman support surprised me. Hanneman is acting like the Marquis De Vestra was just trying to protect something Hubert I guess? So he had a righteous reason for helping the Slitherers? This is unexpected. Everything Ive heard about him was that he was one of the bad dads of Fodlan.

Was at E rank Lances so I don't think I could've certified for Cav. Before my hiatus I had left the game in the middle of a battle weekend so I couldn't go back anyway. In any case I'd kind of forgotten what I had intended for my party so I was just trying to refresh myself with a little grinding.
