Conquest Chapter 12...I don't know how to do Chapter 12.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You need to either beat the boss (who's very powerful) or get Corrin to the exit...before the end of turn 16. All these damn pots in the way. There's a dragon vein tile where you can smash all of the pots but that's only mildly beneficial at best considering how good pots and bad pots are scattered about almost at random. This also allows every enemy on the map (and there are a crapton of them) nearly free movement.

Still, I very nearly won on my first attempt. I decided to forgo strategy and blitz towards the exit by pairing Corrin up with Beruka. It worked well at first; both of the named enemies were defeated and Beruka got some amazing levels (the best levels I've seen all game, sadly). I got through the penultimate room by switching to Corrin, equipping the dragonstone, and tanking the archers until they gave up to charge south against the remainder of my army (which had barely moved). I then had Beruka kill one of the samurai guarding the exit with a throwing axe before the staff-wielding jerks in the upper map corners began messing things up. If I had been given 17 turns (and hadn't lost Kaze to an opportunistic archer) I would have won for sure.

So Now I'm wondering whether I should try rushing with additional units, or just try another single-unit rush and hope for RNG to favor me even more than it already did.

Yeah, chapter 12, I had trouble with that one too, then I felt like an idiot when the game basically tells you upfront how to beat it, and I was just ignoring it. This is my rough summary of how I did it:

This is gonna sound counterintuitive, but in order to go fast, you have to take your time. The key to victory lies in the medicine pots, every unit caught in the radius of when you break one has a random chance of endowing a +4 to one stat, or +2 to two stats, which lasts for the entire chapter, and stacks. There's about 8-9 medicine pots between your starting point and the castle, take your time, have all your units bunch around each one for maximum effect, if you do that then all your guys will be BEEFED UP. Before you hit the dragon vein, have your stronger units pick off the first couple of units, ESPECIALLY the archers with lunge. Once those guys are down, hit the dragon vein with Camilla or Azura or someone.

I was extremely nervous by the time I had finally singled out Ryoma, so I didn't get the chests, but I did manage to kill Ryoma by hitting him with a steel dagger for the debuff, then dogpilling him.

That seems doable.

Do you happen to remember if teamed-up units will both benefit from breaking medicine pots? Or will only the active unit get a bonus?

EDIT: Never mind, just tested it and it only affects the active character. That's kinda a shame.

Ah, I missed the "castle" part of your original statement, my bad.

CHAPTER 12 ARGH

I tried following Josh's strategy but then the new cavalier got mobbed and killed. She was partnered up with another unit but I'm not sure Dual Guard triggered even once.

You can do it Sirus, Ch12 isn't even the hardest challenge ahead of you

I'm actually finding mounted units to be very hard to level up. My chapter 20 team right now is full of promotes, and the ones I'm still struggling to train are Silas and Baruka. I'm thinking I'm gonna have to just drop Baruka cause the threat level of enemies is increasing greatly every chapter and now she's not strong enough to kill weakened units reliably, and Silas is very close to level 20, I'm being extra patient with him because he has a lot of support levels with my current units. In previous Fire Emblems, mounted units were frequently god-tier if only because mobility let you crush groups of units in one big rush without a chance of retaliation. It would seem that the huge rebalancing initiative hit mounted units hard, so that they're more for support and transporting around your slower units, which are statistically superior to make up for the reduced mobility.

Or maybe my build is just highly specialized in foot soldiers, and if I double-downed on mounted units I could revive that rush down strategy, but I'm too late in the game to switch horses midstream now.

I kinda wish there was an alternative way to gain exp, because just being somebody's partner and blocking attacks for them gives a *tiny* bit of exp with each block, but it's not nearly enough, and killing units is too hard for her now, and there's no Pokemon Daycare I can put Baruka into and have her gain exp over time. A Daycare would be pretty ok if it had some cost to it, and you could only put unpromoted units in it, and the 'incubation period' was long enough, like 4-5 chapters, and then they could hatch from their shell all leveled up and ready to promote.

I just think it's a bummer that there's so many units you just have to leave on the bench because at a certain point it just becomes impossible to train them up, but I guess that's the hard choice you gotta making in this Campaign.

buy birthright

[JoshuaFH]

I already bought birthright! It's on my to-do list.

I'm just saying, unless some new awesome units get thrown my way, my team for the rest of the game is finalized.

[Sirus]

Meanwhile I have a hard time keeping my cavaliers leveled up (Silas is my only unit still at level 10, not counting Chapter 12's newcomers) while Beruka is a lean mean murder machine (and possible Corrinwaifu...we'll see) despite being around the same level as my other main units. I mostly tend to pair him up with squishy units for a piddling defense bonus.

buy birthright

Different characters mang.

i know what i said

[JoshuaFH]

Hard Conquest Chapter 20, complete! That map was SO AWKWARD but in the end, once I got used to it, it was an extreme test of my strategic ability. It wasn't a perfect run, I took my sweet time, clocking in at 26 turns total (thank god for the no time limit there), and I had to burn at least one very valuable item I don't know if I'll be able to replace, but I got through with no casualties, and all treasures. Man this is some good ass treasure.

[Sirus]

The first couple of DLC maps are out! One of them is for EXP grinding - lots of monsters, some worth normal amounts of exp and attack your units, others which are far more valuable try to flee but have much better stats and hit like trucks. If you find yourself hitting a wall in Conquest it might be worth a play-through just to give your units a bit of an edge.

The second map is far more unusual. It plays more like a scenario - although the characters are familiar, their stats and inventory and classes might be nothing like what you have. You choose from a variety of preset teams to play with, which are much smaller than you might be used to. It's very silly and does not attempt to hide that fact at all. Supposedly the reward for completion is some artwork.

I'm gonna go ahead and draw the line at purchasing DLC to negate one of the main draws of Conquest, that being the absence of grinding. First you pay money to have an adventure built around not being allowed to grind, then paying more money to go back to grinding? That sounds self-defeating on the same level as buying a trivia game, then buying a guide that just tells you all the answers.

I'm sick and tired of people playing single-player games the way they want to play them.
