How do I go about changing the title? I've never started a topic before this one, so I don't know these things.

Chapter 10: 5 turns Cordelia flew Vaike over to the boss and stabbed every thief they found along the way. I had to pair Maribelle and Chrom so that she'd have enough time to get a higher support with Chrom than he has with Robin (B). Some of the hand axe wielding enemies were annoying since I have so many sword users without 1-2 range weapons. In the end, I didn't feel like killing all of them.

Robin did some rescuing because she also wants staff exp. Cordelia with boosted RES told even the mages with elwind to suck it, and didn't even need to lure Gangrel because he walked into Lon'qu's range only to be immediately ORKOd by the killing edge of doom. Ah, Rutger would be proud of his Awakening equivalent. Furthermore, I was glad to see that I didn't screw up my supports when Maribelle triggered the Chrom-isn't-married-yet-and-needs-a-wife conversation. Now there's the question of reclassing her to mage for some combat exp...

Cordelia and Vaike were incredibly useful. Maribelle's getting plenty of experience now that she doesn't have to rely on staves anymore. Stahl promoted to Great Knight, Cordelia promoted to Falcon Knight, Chrom promoted to Great Lord.

More like sale on staff exp. I can tell that the distribution of experience hasn't really been even. Vaike, Cordelia, and Stahl have been hogging rather large portions, but that's because they've been so useful. Stahl just tanks everything, and Cordelia flies Vaike to the boss while stabbing everything on the way. Vaike promoted to Warrior.

Chapter 8: 7 turns The main challenge for this chapter was visiting all the villages without wasting turns. Cordelia was quite useful, and although Robin didn't get much exp, she was still useful for ferrying people around annoying desert parts of the map. It's only a matter of time before I get frustrated and start having Robin and Maribelle needlessly spam rescue for exp.

I didn't put forth much effort in recruiting either Libra or Tharja. Libra casually walked through the desert and talked to Chrom on his own, and Tharja got owned by Cordelia carrying Vaike so he could hammer the boss in the face faster. Looks like Henry's going to have to buy his own Nosferatu when he joins.

In the end, I gave up on the chest in the north west (I don't even remember what's in it.) I'm probably going to have Gaius marry Cherche so that she'll make him less freaking fragile and easier to train.

It completely interrupts what's happening in the story, and I don't see why they couldn't have just put it after chapter 10.

I can see how many views the topic has, but positive feedback is always the best . This is like writing fun lab reports lol. Chapter 6: 7 turns? (in my haste, I forgot to record the actual count) Got Gaius, but had some trouble feeding him kills without being too risky. I even neglected the secret book in the chest so he could get a kill. Lon'qu killed most of the enemies in the middle choke point, Stahl and Robin took out the right side of the map and laughed at Validar.

Robin probably shouldn't have gotten as much exp as she did because this is her last chapter as a tactician (if I'm counting my renown correctly the second seal is available after this chapter). Cordelia didn't show up quickly enough to do anything.

Stahl's performance suffered without tactician!Robin's pair up bonuses. Lon'qu can't borrow Vaike's strength anymore, but at least he has a steel sword now. Maribelle now has to compete with Robin for healing, and Robin's probably going to be more useful because of her higher magic and incoming desert chapters.

Chapter 5: 10 turns The main challenge here was getting Ricken out of the way so that he'd not interfere. Chrom's doing pretty well on his own even when nobody's paired up with him.

Planning for the future, I'll probably have her marry Henry because they're both magic users, Lon'qu and Gregor will be bachelors together, and I'm not sure if I want Cherche to marry Gaius or Stahl (Olivia will get the other). Paralogue 2: 7 turns Anna managed to survive and Stahl was able to run up to the village and grab the physic staff. Everyone else just ran around and killed enemies. Maribelle was paired up with Chrom to build support, so she didn't really get to do much.

Chapter 4: 6 turns Now that I can go shopping, vulneraries for everyone! Nothing difficult here, had Chrom and Stahl use Gaius' Confect. Saving the uses for later probably wouldn't have changed my turn count, but being able to OHKO the mages probably did save a vulnerary use or two. In fact, I didn't use a single vulnerary, so that's nice, but not as nice as the fact that I have Lon'qu now! =D Lv HP STR MAG SKL SPD LCK DEF RES Chrom 7.89 25 10 1 12 12 9 9 4 Robin 9.17 26 10 8 9 10 14 10 8 Vaike 6.35 32 12 1 9 7 4 7 0 Stahl 7.18 26 11 0 9 9 9 9 2 Lon'qu 4.00 20 6 1 12 13 7 7 2 Paralogue 1: 11 turns Instead of training Donnel, it's time to level up Lon'qu.

Oops.

Chapter 2: 12 turns I was about to cheat and use Lissa for healing, but then I realized she still had a vulnerary, which I used up. Virion's elixir has still remained untouched, fortunately. Like the first chapter, I took a cautious approach and didn't try to rush. Can't wait for Maribelle (or cleric!Robin) so that I won't have to rely on vulneraries so freaking much.

Still going at a cautious pace and didn't bother trying to rout the enemy. Chrom ORKOs Raimi with his trusty rapier and some help from the Vaike's pair up bonuses. Gaius's Confect from a sparkly spot will prove useful.

I meant to start posting about this playthrough yesterday, but unfortunately, school requires effort. Premonition: 3 turns lol no dual strike Prologue: 12 turns I surprised myself by somehow completing the chapter without using Lissa or Fred. The vulnerary ran out, so I might have to cheat and use Lissa for a few chapters if Virion's elixir runs out. I could have finished a few turns earlier if I had been a bit more reckless, but better safe than sorry. Levels: Chrom: 2 Robin: 2 Chapter 1: 4 turns Huzzah for forts! Robin and Chrom paired up and camped out. No healing interventions from Lissa necessary. Chrom and Robin get a C level support. Levels: Chrom: 3 Robin: 6 Is there a way to make tables or charts to show everyone's levels and stats? I'd like to show stats, but using a list seems like it'd be an eyesore.

Unfortunately, Stahl was the last pick. These rules sound like fun, so I'll use them. The final list: Chrom Henry Gaius Maribelle Cordelia Chrom!Brady Vaike Vaike!Severa Gregor Cherche Anna Olivia Lon'qu Avatar Stahl Thanks to everyone who contributed to this glorious list. I should be able to finish my current playthrough tonight, so I'll get cracking on this adventure tomorrow.

If nobody picks the Avatar or Fred, the early levels are going to be really "fun". I'm shooting for 15 units including Chrom, so there are two more picks left. (Duck wants me to use Virion!Inigo, so consider picking Virion for his pick to be valid.) Picks so far: Chrom Henry Gaius Maribelle Cordelia Chrom!Brady Vaike Vaike!Severa Gregor Cherche Anna Olivia Lon'qu

Neither Virion nor Olivia have been picked yet.

I want my next playthrough to be interesting, so... PICK MY UNITS! Allegedly self-imposed rules: Hard mode (I have enough trouble on lunatic even with the ability to pick my units) Classic mode No skirmishes/DLC/wireless/streetpass Renown is allowed, but starts at 0 I won't LTC, but I won't waste time opening chests or waiting for reinforcements if it means putting off the chapter's completion. I get to use Chrom. Use the 14 units picked by strangers. Yes to Anna shops. Yes to items obtained from sparkly spots. Parameters pertaining to picking: No spotpass paralogue units No DLC/bonus team units One pick per person If you pick a child, specify a parent. If you pick a child, his/her parents must have already been picked If you pick the avatar, specify asset, flaw, and gender. Name and appearance are optional. If you think the rules could use some tweaking, just say so; this is for fun and I'm pretty open minded. I will keep you posted on how the game's going for your entertainment. Other than that, happy picking!

I can't wait to play the rest of this hack! One question: is there any point to the "paint" item other than selling it for 2500 bucks?
