The Book of Beginnings, Chapter 6: Chloé’s Crossover

Join me as we revisit the early parts of Fire Emblem Engage on Maddening difficulty, exploring several important questions along the way:
- How should we assign our Emblem Rings?
- How can we earn a lot of EXP on these maps? Is that important?
- Who deserves training?
- Which mechanics and abilities define tactics and strategy in these early chapters?
- How should we use the forge, the arena, and the ancient well?

1:34:27 our fates brainrot shows by assuming healing a higher level unit gives more exp 😢
For those wondering: staff exp decreases when the user is 3 level above the target. When the difference is 2 and below, the amount of exp is constant sadly. So no, healing vander does not give more exp. Well not significantly more, just more than Clanne and Etie. No different from Chloe in this case.
My source? My source is that I made it the frick up: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1M-xdJ_vZjExMI2vpMhppZQu2Y38t7ofaso6N19DZYuM/edit#gid=28879599

One day, Clanne will be deployed, and what a glorious day that will be.

You mentioned in the last video that Sommie likes the fruits from the orchard - I've found he's also fond of wheat flour. Though that could be that he's at a high enough affection level to eat anything I put in front of him and give me 100 bond fragments.

[@yousquiddingme]

Also - does it matter how you clean the rings? I just mash A over and over to clean them and it seems to work the same.

[@Hawlo]

He will always give you 100 fragments, no matter what you feed him at what affection. I fed him nothing but nuts in my last playthrough.

[@andersolson44]

@@yousquiddingme The rings will always give you 1/3 of a bond level, no matter how you clean them. I like to clean them manually, but the rewards are the same.

[@Zoran501]

You don’t necessarily get exactly 1/3 of a bond level from polishing. It depends on how dirty the ring is (an amount that accumulates depending on actions in battle) and, apparently, on whether you polish the sweet spot or not.
@Hawlo, I would swear up and down that I have seen him give only 50 when feeding him acorns and other foods he dislikes

[@Hawlo]

@@Zoran501 I’ll admit, I havent tested all of the food items, but it’s always been 100 for me. I’ll keep an eye out.

The Chloening begins

[@jerry3115]

boucheron sigurd is a solid combination for these earlygame maps too! he enjoys the def, dex, and build, and with axes and momentum he can hit really hard. Alfred is probably the best sigurd user, but don't count big bouch out!
also, long term his speed is pretty good, especially if you grab speed +3 from lyn ASAP, and being a warrior means his somewhat meager strength is not really a big deal, plus he has a pretty solid personal skill, and like diamant, he's a great ike user.

if you optimize the shit out of great sacrifice you can get her to almost 1000 sp on this map without even healing or doing combats

[@Bulkynemesis4534]

So i am following along so far and somewhere along the way i am off by 1 exp and exactly 3-5 points of SP and my guess is one of the chapter 4 reinforcement fliers died took one less hit due to critting. But overall even with variations i faced like enemy attacking from east instead of north has been working out

[@PeevedLatias]

Wouldn't the Celine situation have her drop to 1 hp, which prevents resonance from triggering because she is no longer at 2 hp or above? She's not gonna kill herself by countering.

[@Zoran501]

I’m pretty sure Resonance damage applies at the start of combat?

[@yes1667]

@@Zoran501 you are right, I remember my Celine dying on this very map to the boss because of that

Zoran enjoyers are too classy to say it but... Is anyone gonna talk about Chloe's Marth engage outfit? 😳
