Question / Prompt	Best Response
Prompt: I had my first taste of Duscur wine the other day. It was almost like nectar from the goddess herself.	Ask to hear more about Duscur.
Prompt: I’ve always encouraged Felix to pursue the path of the blade, but I never expected he’d take to it with such devotion.	Commend Felix’s dedication.
Prompt: During our time at the Officers Academy, His Majesty Lambert and I would often skip out on classes in search of adventure. Fond memories indeed.	Ask for more details.
Prompt: Lambert’s aptitude for magic was…subpar, to say the least. So, I decided to master it myself instead.	Say you want to learn magic too.
Prompt: In our Kingdom, a rigorous procedure must be followed before one can implement sweeping change.	Think about what you can do.
Prompt: I believe it’s the duty of elders such as myself to support the younger generation as they build the foundation for a brighter tomorrow.	Say you trust him.
Prompt: The margrave is a cunning man, yet has great difficulty expressing his emotions. This is especially true of the events surrounding Miklan.	Be sympathetic.
Question: Ask about any personal news. Prompt: I've made efforts to learn some more of Duscur's language of late.. Once I've mastered that, I'll move on to the tongue of the Sreng region.	Show interest.
Question: Ask about any personal news. Prompt: I'm more interested in how you are. Felix hasn't been giving you any trouble, has he?	Dispute that.
Question: Ask about dreams for the future. Prompt: Hmm. The dreams I held dear as a child have either already come true…or never will.	Be doubtful.
Question: Ask about memories of the past. Prompt: One night when he was far too flagons of wine deep, the margrave said to Lambert… Ah, my apologies. It would be rude of me to go on.	Refuse to drop it.
Question: Ask about preferred fighting style. Prompt: In my prime, I always used to love engaging the enemy face to face, but as the years pass I've begun to understand the joys of barking orders from the rear.	Show that you understand.
Question: Ask about their dislikes. Prompt: Sweets, if I had to pick something. It’s not that I dislike them per se, but I rarely find myself craving such saccharine pleasures.	Say you get it.
Question: Ask about their family. Prompt: My wife and my brother have faced great hardship in my absence, all for the sake of our territory. For their sacrifice, I am forever grateful.	Ask for more details.
Question: Ask about their friends. Prompt: Thinking of all the fine people who chose to fight beside us fills me with nothing but the utmost pride.	Straighten up a little taller.
Question: Ask about their likes. Prompt: There’s nothing better than sharing a drink with old friends. Though that’s more of an adult pastime, I suppose.	Laugh.
Question: Ask about their worries. Prompt: Fraldarius territory is never far from my thoughts. I know I needn’t worry myself, but at times I can’t help but do just that.	Give advice.
Question: Ask what they think of you Prompt: I only hope you'll continue to let me assess the extent of your power.	Vow to fight hard.
Question: Ask what they think of you. Prompt: The Kingdom and its army would be nothing now if not for that fateful day you saved His Majesty's life.	Give a pep talk.

How to Use Rodrigue

Tips on Using Rodrigue

Pros	A powerful unit that has great offense when used in third person, with skills that allow for better damage and attack range when timed right. Both Support and Tactical skills make him great at defense when used as a support and command unit.
Cons	As a default Cavalier Class in Blue Lions house, does not really stand out since Sylvain is more advantageous and popular to use as a Cavalier.
