I did a fresh game file run using just Rocky. I grinded three eggs at the start and then didn't use any other monsters for combat the rest of the game. Love died once in a keeper battle, so I used a backup rocky for one turn but otherwise it was just these three. Love buffed and healed, Archer built combo, and Ace did the damage. Lots of fun but battles definitely took longer - about 6 turns usually.
Does anyone have a seed that'll start bravery mode with Catzerker (or the first egg)? Alternatively, is there a database of seeds?
I decided that I want to use a team focused around Catzerker for vibes, but I'd rather not have the unlimited flexibility to just pick the optimal team if that makes sense. Bonus points for not knowing the rest of who I'll get so it'll sort of feel like a normal bravery run. Thanks!
How often do you focus on one weapon (ideally reaching S+ rank) vs. splitting your skill experience across multiple weapons. Further, not just for meeting class requirements, but to actually go back and forth between the two.
I mostly play hard classic, but I've done a little bit of maddening. I'll often pair up reason/faith for mages, but I won't push the weaker skill (usually faith) past B or A rank. The times I played Maddening, I got low ranks of bow/axes for class requirements for key skills, but I stopped them there and still primarily raised a single weapon skill.
For example, my favorite unit is Annette. I've focused her on reason (Warlock 3 times) and axes (Warrior 2 times, Wyvern Lord 1 time, and Fortress Knight 1 time) but never both on the same run. If you split your weapon usage, you'll raise the skill slower and generally classes only provide bonus skill experience in battle for one or the other. Am I missing out by not trying a hybrid build now that I picked up the DLC and try something like Valkyrie using both reason and axes and not worrying about going beyond A or A+?
I’m going to do a PMU of Fates. Picking Revelation since among the three routes, it has by far the largest cast. Corrin is free, plus 12 other units to match the deployment for the final chapter.

Units:
I just finished a challenge run of Binding Blade with three restrictions:
It was a fun run with rule #1 really limiting what items you have access to (very limited 1-2 axes & lances), deterring fighting extra enemies, and ultimately skipping most of the gaiden chapters. I did 8x, but I skipped all the other gaidens. Around chapter 12, I realized I wasn't going to have enough weapons to do the extra ~7 chapters going for the true ending would mean. I also tried to funnel my exp so I could build sufficient weapon ranks to use better weapons. For example, there were only 8~9 anima tomes in the entire game I could get.
Surviving cast: (base level, promoted level) - HP/Str/Skill/Spd/Luck/Def/Res
Weapons were running low and very little was in the convoy (berserk/silence staves, partially used Longbow, and some lances). Lilina had an angelic robe, Echidna had the body ring, and Wendy got the rest of the stat boosters.
Notes on deceased units (who usually had a couple weapons on them and defeated units lose their items in Binding Blade):
