I Made It Up In The Next Run By Making Her My Best Character Lol - Tumblr Posts

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 ;-;
