How is the new Fire Emblem?

I'm a big fan of the fire emblem games, but I will admit that I didn't like engage. I found the combat to be as engaging as ever, but the anime tropes and characters were really annoying. I liked 3H, though. My issues is that I heard the new one is heavily skewed towards the out of combat activities, particularly the social features. Is this true?

does levin sword scale by a unit's magic stat though? That's something I don't quite get so I'm not sure who exactly I should give it to

I think it's supposed to but it seems good no matter who uses it lol

It feels that way because most enemies have “poor” RES and mage-type enemies are somewhat infrequent.

Ah yeah that's probably it

And there's so much heavy armour in the game that it's useful to have regardless

Levin Sword users often have the benefit of having better defense or avoid too. Even Speed most of the time so there much safer to use then some outright mages. My Alexandra with Levin Sword outclassed the damage of every mage I had in my 2 runs except Bonaventure and Tialla

I turned Dante into a Levin Sword Wing Rider because she is kinda just flatly inferior to the other mages and I figured if she had sword prof I could make her my dancer in part 3. Imagine my surprise when she turns into a pretty respectable unit just off the sheer power of that weapon
