Fire Emblem: Three Houses Crimson Flower 100% Growths LTC Prologue - Chapter 1

Audio is jittery so I replaced it through the run. Timestamps: 0:00 - Prologue(5 turns) Prologue is a kill boss, and Kostas will charge either the turn after the entire bottom squad have been routed, or once we place someone in range of him. Since this is a Crimson Flower run, we want to ensure Byleth and Edelgard farm all the kills, and hence have Dimitri bait Kostas over. Edelgard has some bulk, so we want to ensure she gets chipped down to low HP so that on turn 4 enemy phase the remaining enemies will all go for her. Kostas' squad have special AI where they will go for Byleth no matter what, which lets us rout the whole map while feeding all the kills to Byleth and Edelgard. Both Byleth and Edelgard get to level 2. We make sure to trade Dimitri and Claude's inventories away during the map so we can keep them. Byleth's personal skill buffs the EXP gain of adjacent units, so as much as possible we try to get Edelgard to benefit from it when she's grabbing kills. 4:14 - Chapter 1(5 turns) Chapter 1 has incredibly threatening enemies who have non-trivial luck stats, though since they lack prowess skills Byleth can pull 1% crit on some of them. We want to get started on training Bernadetta and Linhardt, while also hitting the lowest turncount. Our final slot is selected for AI manipulations - we need a unit to move full steam ahead to reach a specific tile turn 2 in order to cause the Blue Lions and Golden Deer to start charging at the earliest, and we want this unit to be weak enough that Dimitri will beeline towards them in order to position him suitably for Byleth to pick off on turn 4 from that specific spot. Caspar meets our needs perfectly, and he even manages to be a less tempting target for Ashe, which lets Bernadetta get more EXP. Before the Chapter 1 battle, we do get a monastery session. I'm not going to describe every monastery action in these descriptions, but I will make a note some things. We got to professor level E+, and we use the meal to start building support points with Lysithea and Annette, since we want to recruit both of them early on. New Units Byleth - Our protagonist, and one of the lead combat stars. Byleth's personal skill gives her accelerated EXP gain, and she also extends this to units adjacent to her, so in maps that aren't otherwise restrictive we want to ensure units get kills from next to her as much as is possible. Byleth's weapon ranks and supports dictate character recruitments, though in this route she doesn't really need to grind useless weapon ranks for recruitments. Byleth has the Crest of Flames, which has a 20% chance of activating to heal her 30% of the damage, and then a further 25% chance to activate a secondary effect - half of that time, she will get +5 damage (which helps her hit some tight damage benchmarks in maps like Chapter 9), while the other half that lets her cancel counterattacks(which doesn't end up being useful). Edelgard - Our route's lord. Edelgard's bow bane will be a bit annoying early on, but we only need to get her to C bows to get Close Counter which is easy enough to achieve. She is unfortunately unavailable for the Leonie/Linhardt paralogue, but we have enough other A-team units to handle that map. In part II she gets Aymr which gives her access to Raging Storm, which lets her move again at the cost of 4 uses, and lets her do some unique jobs. Her personal skill gives her +20% EXP gain, which helps her grow faster. Hubert - The authority specialist of the Black Eagles. He is unfortunately unavailable for paralogues done in Chapter 11, and the Leonie/Linhardt paralogue, so we end up recruiting Annette and having her be the A rank Authority unit to cast Retribution starting Chapter 9. We do want a low Strength unit with D Brawl for Chapter 3, and since Dorothea has other things to be learning, Hubert is selected for this job. Ferdinand - Smitebot #1. We need a Smite user for Chapter 4, and he is the one unit who can get there other than Edelgard due to his Budding Talent. Linhardt - Eventual Warper. He has issues with his level(and only learns Warp at A), but he at least can achieve some decent Warp range eventually. Caspar - Smitebot #2. We need a second Smiter starting Chapter 12, and he has nothing else to work on. Bernadetta - The 3rd of the A-team from Part I. Her personal skill is free damage, her crest doubles damage output, and she learns Deadeye and Pass. Probably best student in the game! She has an axe bane so she will end up gunning for Falcon Knight rather than Wyvern lord. Dorothea - Earlygame anima mage! We actually need a Meteor user for a couple of maps, and Dorothea has a Reason boon and learns Meteor at A rank, so we actually train her for this job. Thankfully she gets natural 3-range with good crit so she can pick up kills. Petra - We have her as one of the second-string team, but I think it would actually be better to make her the dancer in hindsight. She first does things in Chapter 9.
