Paralogue 13: Catcher in the Sky

Probably my favorite Birthright paralogue!
Notes:
Sold: Iron Yumi, Iron Club
Bought: Heart Seal
Supports:
Caeldori and Hinoka - C
Caeldori and Shigure - C
Caeldori and Subaki - C
Midori and Shiro - B
Corrin and Mitama - S
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules:
1. I not allowed to have any unit that is paired up land an attack at all, though I can pair up for other reasons such as AI manipulation, Shelter, or movement options.
2. All units must get married. This is to avoid the run from turning into a complete Ryoma sweep.
3. I am allowed infinite resources and an early chef's hat.
4. DLC, grind maps, and online battles are banned
5. As a personal challenge, I am going to try and avoid strats that abuse too much chokepoint stalling to make some maps, like chapter 7, just a little bit more interesting.

2:38-2:48 Subaki is one of the early units, so the devs probably thought this paralogue would’ve been done sooner rather than later, but it is strange an interactive tutorial is in a paralogue and not a main chapter (probably explains why there are so few enemies as well because most of the route exclusive paralogues don’t have many reinforcements).

We LOVE to see Shigure off the bench

I find it really satisfying to use the Swordcatcher, so I normally try to get this map ASAP.

This Midori is mighty indeed, those stat gains were huge ❤

Wife! Sadly had to drop birthright because trying to train an army was driving me insane but rev eeplay exists. Srill love that you can quiickly train her here

[@ungulatemanalpha]

I suspect the mono-type nature of this paralogue is less to be a tutorial for effective weaponry and more to make Caeldori look good, because the Fire Emblem devs are just as cordeliapilled as the playerbase are

I really like how you give units their time in the spotlight even when the fandom has decided they are suboptimal You actually had me try out Basara Sakura and Hinoka!Caeldori. Although I’m unsure why the Hana friendship was necessary, as I can still get Sakura’s lance rank up in Sky Knight. Is it mostly because of Vantage?

[@Bluegh]

Sakura's friendship with Hana was mostly to give Vantage to Rhajat

[@SvanEsch123]

@@Bluegh oooh makes sense, that was wasted time on my part since I’m not using Rhajat this time💀
