This Poor Guy

this poor guy

okay, self-indulgent time

i replayed fire emblem fates recently to actually learn the reclassing system (i was only using master seals previously), and the first thing i noticed while looking up stats is how drastically boons and banes can change the avatar's stats. So, as a joke, I immediately decided to play a magic class. Also, I played hard mode for the first time.

This is Kaori, a diviner/onmyoji classed avatar, with +magic and -strength. She's mature and calculating and not physically strong (making some early game dialogue pretty funny). She sided with her birth family, and picked up magic after her "father's" lovely sword exploded in her face. She almost immediately ditched Yato, using a +1 thunder tome that she totally didn't dimension hop to get (I also worked out online play finally). She's also a little salty that she was pushed towards swords growing up.

She managed to 1v1 Leo in his map with magic, and Xander which allowed her to skip his entire level lol.

She adores her son Kana, who reclassed into paladin and picked up tomebreaker from a previous logbook unit who had it. With tomebreaker, armourslayer, and beastslayer, Kana took down quite a few scary threats.

In terms of a magical avatar: fun, funny, decently strong, but very frail, at least in hard mode. Often having to hide behind defensive units meant she didn't see as much battle, but the onmyoji being able to use staffs meant she had added utility as a healer, which was why I picked it over sorcerer.

Fates can be hilariously bad in some places, but it's my first fire emblem game so I'm still quite fond of it. I miss being able to customise the player character so much ;-;

my corrin from my next fates run after kaori: my first revelation run.

she's strong and dull (+str-mag), and is a fucking idiot baby gremlin. she spends battles using replicate and rushing the chests for goodies. she's got a barb shuriken and the chakram and WILL crit u

my team was mostly all the royal siblings, with some reclassing. so ofc the run right after (my current run) is a no hoshido/nohr royals/retainers revalations run

New fire emblem ask game: send me a couple of characters and I'll describe the build for them I had the most fun with, including silly/weird/strong builds.

Put in the tags when you reblog which fire emblem games you've played/want to be asked about. Also if you're asking probably send a couple of characters in case there's no answer to one. I've played fe3h 8 times and still havent used every character, so best to give options.

I really like coming up with builds and optimising so i think it would be fun to see how you guys play too ^-^

little wip of these three bc i love them

they have six hair colours between the three of them

edit: i coloured it

I've been playing xenoblade chronicles definitive edition on and off for about a year now (kept getting distracted) but i'm finally real close to finishing it and i really really love it and the characters (even tho i kinda suck at it)

i'm just finishing up some sidequests before setting off for the finale
