Mastery skills

Tutorial

Mastery skills are specials that are a lot more powerful than others, being obtained by either a Tier 3 promotion or higher Laguz rank.

Unlike other specials, they begin each map on cooldown unless specified otherwise, or through other skills and bonuses.

Outside of normal mode, mastery skills also become locked for the remainder of the map if activated against a boss/Exalted unit.

Additionally, certain weapons will also apply this to regular specials, such as siege tomes for the Adept or Corrosion skills.

For weapons this applies to, they'll also lock mastery skills if capable of activating them. Brave weapons are an example of this.

Therefore, do be wary of which weapons you are using when they're ready to activate unless the map is near completion.

Alternatively, using a siege tome with the Adept skill may still be worth the cost if it enables an early kill of a dangerous foe!

Units leaving after Part 2

Map tutorial

As with endgame of Part 1, units who leave for an extended period of time will deposit their inventory to the convoy automatically.

Lucia's inventory has already been deposited, with Elincia, Nealuchi and Leanne's to follow suit when Part 2 is completed.

For any resources you want to send across to early Part 3, it may still be ideal to trade them over to other units accordingly.

As with Ilyana at the end of part 1, gems will be deposited to the convoy for units that rejoin in early part 3. Keep this in mind.

Cat Gauge

Helpful Tip

Some Laguz such as cats can retain their gauge by engaging in combat frequently, but will quickly revert if they do not. Magic cards can help assist with this.

Dialogue
  1. Haar

    These soldiers are extremely focused, given the hectic circumstances. They are very well trained.

  2. Elincia

    Lucia handpicked each one of them.

  3. Haar

    Lucia and that... That official with the curly blonde beard. What was his name?

  4. Elincia

    You mean Count Bastian?

  5. Haar

    Yeah, that's the one. Bastian, count of Fayre.

    He's usually considered the premier political mastermind of Crimea. But Lady Lucia's proving to be no slouch herself.

  6. Elincia

    Yes. I really don't deserve them.

  7. Haar

    Come on... Don't sell yourself short.

  8. Elincia

    What do you mean?

  9. Haar

    Loyalty isn't just a personal trait. Most of it hinges on who's calling the shots. What kind of commander you're under.

    My first commander was only concerned with lining his own pockets.

    And next was the Mad King himself.

    Man, I don't ever want to go back to regular military duty. If Shiharam hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have stayed so long.

    But he showed me what a leader could be: someone who makes following seem like the most natural thing in the world.

  10. Elincia

    What about in Begnion's leaders and the apostle Sanaki?

  11. Haar

    The falcoknights report to the apostle, the dracoknights to the senate. Of the two, the falcoknights seem happier.

    I've never actually met the apostle personally. She sounds like a nice girl, but who knows?

  12. Elincia

    I see.

  13. Haar

    But I'm just running on at the mouth. I actually came to give you this.

  14. Elincia

    A physic staff?

  15. Haar

    I want you to fight for all your loyal supporters. Losing your leader is tough, you know?

  16. Elincia

    Sir Haar... Thank you so much.
