Current Events > Fire Emblem Engage Social the Third

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was overleveled after completing the DLC paralogues earlier, but the game has officially caught up to me in difficulty

Honestly I kind of feel overleveled for the main story from doing the paralogues.

Too many damn reinforcements and I don't really have a tank.

I can field 14 units now but I've really only trained up my main 12 so units 13 and 14 are holding the team back.

Even through they're all sad and miserable like that?

I'm near the end of the game and still getting new units wtf

Saphir is pretty cool

By the way, what should I reclass Alear into now that she's maxed out the Divine Dragon class?

so I can get his supports later

All girls run complete! Final chapter was difficult as fuck, but made some great last minute use of Jade. Had to restate a few times due to just plain bad luck like Panette having a 99% crit chance and NOT critting, costing her her life, that was some bullshit. But still, managed to pull it off in the end.

and voice actress of Alear overacting on s***tily written dialogues.

Ch 21-22 is like quintessential Engage. Great narrative stages, possibly best in the series, briskly interesting story bits, fun combat, then for every good thing, they muddle it with dumbass dialogues, horrendous cutscene framing (characters literally standing around when their strongest guy is getting blasted by limitless chad lasers, bad guys just letting characters have a lengthy speech), and voice actress of Alear overacting on shittily written dialogues.

I despise the wyrm enemies in this game so much

Yeah Chapter 10 is a real gut punch storywise and gameplaywise. Losing all your dope emblem skills like warp ragnarok or the full map heal or lodestar rush suuucks

Bummed I lost all my shit at Chapter 10. I didn't expect that.

I used to try and keep all my characters' levels even and use everybody

Join the club. The Chapter 10-11 story hit is definitely a big one for first-time players to deal with.

Just a heads up: that's a terrible idea in this game. There's simply not enough experience to go around to use that many different characters all the way through without becoming severely underleveled, especially because the amount of deployment slots you get in major battles is fairly low compared to past FE games. Even worse, the skirmishes you can use for free grinding scale to Alear's level, so if Alear becomes too high leveled (which they most likely will if you spread your experience too thin like that since you're required to bring Alear in every major battle) then it'll become impossible for units that fall well behind Alear's level to catch up. It's very possible to make the game completely unwinnable and have to start all over because you won't be able to beat the next chapter and you won't be able to grind either.

The closest thing to "using everybody" you can do in this game is to constantly rotate out your weakest older units for newer ones that you recruit later, because the mid/late-game characters in this game are actually really good and sometimes just straight-up outclass the earlier units. Generally, you want to just focus on a core of like 12-14 or so characters most of the way and ignore everyone else. The most characters you can bring in a battle is 12 until the very latest chapters of the game where it goes up to 14, so you don't need more than that.

Unless you're referring to on higher difficulties - I don't feel that AT ALL in this game compared to past FEs. Like I said - I've only ignored maybe 3 of my characters (also I guess the two that came with Ivy, who I JUST got) and haven't had any problems. In past FE games (especially the GBA games) I felt it waaay harder spreading exp too thin.

For her last 500.
