So. Decided to reclass Mozu into a Great Lord using that thing from the Before Awakening free DLC.

She is now my best unit, even better than Hinoka. During Sophie's paralogue, she two shot all the promoted units and either dodged the counter or barely took damage.

Personally, I never like to reclass like that. (Except when you have to, with Donny.) Yes the option is there because Awakening and Birthright are grindy, but it seems.. Unnecessary. Especially when I can field thirteen childbeasts at once lategame, and they usually best their parents by default. Leveling to twenty, promoting, and leveling again is usually my way to go.
_{except now I'm conflicted because Miriel and her husband Ricken are both sages, so if I don't reclass it screw Laurent out of a skill, but I usually don't reclass and they're only level 4}

I probs should have asked this question a long time ago, but: Do children inherit the stat growths from their parents? Or are they independent characters with their own growths?

[SOLDIER First]

They do, but it's some complicated character-specific math that the wiki can enlighten you on much better than I can.

I'm really loving my team build in Revelations so far, it's the ultimate in girl power:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Basically, including my female Corrin, every character on my main roster is female except for Jakob and his son Dwyer, and that's to take advantage of their Gentilhomme ability. Jakob and Dwyer both have Gentilhome and Inspiration, so any of my female allies within 2 spaces is getting +2 attack power and -4 damage reduction. Those abilities stack with each character when they overlap, for a +4/-8 buff. If Jakob is supporting Corrin, she's getting an extra -3 damage reduction for 11 total. Plus Sakura is on the main roster with her unique ability which is just a flat -2 damage reduction within 2 spaces. So, positioned just right, you can overlap all those abilities onto one character to get a +4/-10 attack and defense buff, -13 if it's Corrin, and another -4 for magic damage because Jakob has Rally Resistance if anyone needs it. I just need someone with rally defense, and then the buffing will get insane.

So far, this strat is extremely powerful and reliable, it's great. Even my scrawny characters can tank some major hits with the right preparation.

If i recall correctly, Fates uses the same formula Awakening does; the children have their own (low) set of base growths, which their parents then add to. In that way, the child will have their new base stats weighted toward the non-attached parent's stats. I am not sure that attached parents add stats, though.

In this game, there's actually no grind for reclassing since the unit's level carries over. And Mozu starts as a Villager anyway.

An addendum: I'm not sure where I heard it, but I believe that Fates kids have their stats averaged between their parents rather than just straight-up added like in Awakening. You don't get Awakening's physical god children, but you don't exactly get "Ryoma Mk. II: Even Better This Time" or anything, either.

I seem to have missed a very important piece of information until now, while checking the Awakening Skill list.
Griffon Rider with Deliverer paired with a Trickster (+ Boots or something).

I put the game down for a few days to sort some things out, and picking back up I encounter what is one of the coolest gimmicks in Revelations. I'm upset that this gimmick was probably single-use, cause it could've been something really outrageously cool. That, and I don't like gimmicks that are just single use period, feels like lost potential.

Also, in this run I finally bothered to train up an Axe Fighter in Charlotte, and DAMN does she hit like a truck. Sorry for ignoring you for so long girl, I really shouldn't have. DEF is kinda low, but I guess that's the price you pay for huge damage numbers.

Has anyone managed to train up a dedicated magic user yet? Mages have been nerfed so hard and have so many counters, I can't justify training one up. My only magic users so far have been Strategists and Onmyoshi's, or people that focus on healing but have a niche in spellslinging as well if they need to just hit a dude.

[Sirus]

To answer your question: no, not really. Pure Mages seem to be significantly less useful than in previous games; low growths all around and the introduction of so flippin' many Range 1-2 weapons really limits how much a mage can be put in harm's way and not, well, die.

My "best" mage is Nyx, who can't hit the broad side of a barn and is made of fine china. I can't even reliably feed her kills because she has a distressing tendency to miss.

[SOLDIER First]

I would recommend grinding low level enemies, but it doesn't work that way any more in Fates, I don't think.
You'll have to give her high-accuracy tomes, I guess. Dark magic has shit accuracy.

[Sirus]

She's using the most accurate tome I know of, Fire, and still barely manages 100 Hit. That's before enemy Evade is taken into account.
