Tutorials — 3

Edition class typing

Tutorial

In each version of Exalted, there's a unique class typing that changes depending on the specific one being played.

In Dark edition, wielders of dark magic will have this typing (), as well as several other classes.

Micaiah's Thani tome or Ike's Ettard will deal effective damage to foes of this typing, providing them with unique utility that adapts to other versions as well. There will also be specific weapons or units that deal similar bonus damage.

Saving the prisoners

Map tutorial

This map's primary objective is preventing the prisoners from being executed while ensuring your own safety.

However, so long as at least one prisoner survives, you will not lose this battle.

Additionally, you only need to save four of them for maximum bonus experience earned.

To prevent yourself from being overwhelmed in the center of the map, some sacrifices (to distract several foes) may be necessary.

Laguz ranks

Tutorial

Playable Laguz within Exalted have a level progression that affects their maximum stats, weapon rank and avaliable skills.

Once a Laguz reaches level 15, they will obtain a rank, granting them additional HP and increasing their maximum stats.

Laguz will gain an additional rank at level 23 and level 30. They'll also obtain a powerful skill at either of these ranks as well.

Keep in mind that a Laguz unit will only gain a rank the first time you leave the base for the current map, or after they've been deployed.

This can allow you to utilize bonus experience to increase lower stats, or take advantage of bonus skill capacity after returning to the base.

Helpful Tips carried here — 3

Herons

Helpful Tip

Herons now have the Sacrifice skill. While only situationally useful, it can allow them to cleanse conditions such as sleep or silence when required.

Weapon Ranks

Helpful Tip

Maximum weapon ranks for non-staves are always SS for Beorc units, no matter the class or tier. For staves, it's A rank besides specific units (S) and priests (SS).

Rafiel

Helpful Tip

Rafiel's bulk significantly increases while shifted, which is possible at any time (Formshift). However, he loses movement in exchange for lower terrain costs (but can't climb).

Dialogue
  1. Sothe

    We're just about ready. Let's talk to Tormod, and--

  2. Micaiah

    ...

  3. Sothe

    Micaiah?

  4. Micaiah

    Oh, sorry.

  5. Sothe

    Hey, remember our promise from three years ago? There are no secrets between us.

  6. Micaiah

    Sothe, Muarim knows that I'm older than I look.

  7. Sothe

    I see. Well, don't worry too much about it. You can trust him.

  8. Micaiah

    Yes, I'm sure of that. Muarim seems very trustworthy. But, what about everyone else?

    What would they think if they knew all of my abilities came from the mixed blood running through my veins? Blood they consider cursed!

  9. Sothe

    Micaiah, stop...

  10. Micaiah

    Right now, when they look at me, they have love and affection in their eyes, but would they look at me the same way if they knew?

    I don't want to find out, Sothe. I don't think I could bear the truth.

  11. Sothe

    You know, we can stop.

  12. Micaiah

    What do you mean?

  13. Sothe

    Look, this was an impossible situation to begin with.

    You've always led such a secluded life... Ever since you were thrust into this position, I worried that the pressure might get to you.

  14. Micaiah

    You're right. I knew it would turn out like this. Despite that, I accepted the job. I can't stop now.

  15. Sothe

    But, Micaiah...

  16. Micaiah

    Listen, Sothe. I realized something after Daein lost the war.

  17. Sothe

    What's that?

  18. Micaiah

    I realized how much I loved my country.

  19. Sothe

    And?

  20. Micaiah

    During the war, I spent a lot of time with the people of Daein while I was waiting for you to return.

    After we lost the war, all our cities and towns had been reduced to ruins.

    We had to help each other to cope.

    We supported and comforted each other. That's how we survived.

  21. Sothe

    You never mentioned this before.

  22. Micaiah

    I've been secluded so long, I had no idea people were so strong...and kind.

    No one knew who I was, but they helped me because I was from Daein. They were so... loving.

    They were my friends.

  23. Sothe

    And now you won't leave them.

  24. Micaiah

    I was touched by their kindness.

    Now, I'm scared to lose it. Very scared.

  25. Sothe

    Micaiah...

  26. Micaiah

    I suppose this isn't the time to worry about such things.

    If my power is needed to liberate Daein, I will stand my ground and fight.

  27. Sothe

    Well, not to spoil your resolve... But if things get too hot, I'm just going to grab you and run.

  28. Micaiah

    Sothe...

  29. Sothe

    Friends and Daein are important, but not as important as you are to me. Remember that.

  30. Micaiah

    ...All right. Thank you, Sothe.
