I plan to play only first gen and Panne seems to make a huge plot promise with Emm so ditching her makes me feel guilty. She's the only Tanguel and all.

I have these eight boys Chrom MU Frederick Virion Lon'qu Gregor Gaius Henry But I have these nine girls Olivia Lucina Cordelia Nowi Cherche Tharja Panne Lissa Sumia I can't decide who to bench. Maximum party is 16 and mostly 14 will be used after mid game after all. :(

I've been working on 16 units for a long while but can't decide who to bench. Chrom x Olivia (Marrying Sumia will end the world so I prefer Olivia for OP Lucina) MU x Nowi (They both are dragon, it's not like I find Nowi attractive, OK?) Frederick x Cherche (Cherche looks happiest with Frederick) Virion x Lissa (I love non-flattery version of Virion) Lon'qu x Cordelia (No bitching about Chrom, cool) Gregor x Panne (Gregorest confession ever?) Gaius x Tharja (Ex-enemies fellas) Henry x Sumia (I just love this couple) Lucina x Tiki (Marth) I can't bring myself to bench any girl. Ah.....what a sin. I already married Chrom to Olivia and want to carry on. Could you help me adjust these pairings? Alternately, I have another canon pairings to try out. Chrom x Sumia (They even have special dialogue) MU x Lucina (From future past?) Frederick x Cordelia (Love how Frederick get Cordelia on her feet again) Virion x Lissa (I love non-flattery version of Virion) Lon'qu x Cherche (His backstory made this legit) Gregor x Tharja (Another of his backstory made this legit) Gaius x Panne (As outsiders trying to protect Emm and I like their chemistry) Henry x Nowi (The most sensible pairing for both of them)

1. Pass Bronze Sword to Frederic as soon as possible 2. Throw Frederick into fire zone 3. You get near-death enemies around Frederick This pattern makes game so much easier up to the point that I have to deliberately let someone getting attacked so Lissa can heal and gain level. :D

I'll consider replacing Luna for Chrom later. Thank you. I'm trying to optimize the build for main game so I'll consider moving from Sniper to Bow Knight later after getting Bowfaire. Truth be told, I actually want to spam Sorcerer with Nosferatu especially on Cordelia who has Armsthrift but I'm keeping up with no duplicated class right now. I'd love to marry Sumia with Chrom but passing good skills to Lucina requires grinding so Olivia seems to be more doable for no grind run.

After playing around with Fates and Echoes for a while, I miss Awakening's class utilization which is somehow even more fun to play than Fates. Here's my final party for planning through no grind run. I'm not really sure if I can pick all the skills I want until the end of the game though. Chrom -> Paladin Dual Strike+ Aether Rightful King Defender Aegis Avatar -> Sorcerer Ignis Armsthrift Vantage Wrath Vengeance Frederick -> Wyvern Lord Luna Deliverer Lancebreaker Quick Burn Swordbreaker Virion -> Sniper Prescience Strength +2 Deliverer Hit Rate +20 Bowfaire Lon'qu -> Swordmaster Vantage Locktouch Lethality Astra Swordfaire Gaius -> Trickster Locktouch Vantage Astra Swordfaire Lucky Seven Gregor -> Hero Armsthrift Vantage Astra Wrath Sol Lissa -> Sage Miracle Healtouch Renewal Tomefaire Panne -> Assassin Even Rhythm Locktouch Movement +1 Lucky Seven Lethality Cordelia -> Dark Flier Armsthrift Hex Anathema Vengeance Galeforce Nowi -> Manakete Quick Burn Swordbreaker Lifetaker Odd Rhythm Wyrmsbane Tharja -> Dark Knight Hex Anathema Hit Rate +20 Vengeance Lifetaker Olivia -> Dancer Vantage Lethality Astra Swordfaire Special Dance Cherche -> War Cleric Strength +2 Deliverer Miracle Healtouch Renewal Lucina -> Great Lord Aether Rightful King Lethality Vantage Astra Pairings Chrom x Olivia Avatar x Nowi Frederick x Lissa Virion x Cherche Lon'qu x Cordelia Gaius x Panne Gregor x Tharja Lucina Please let me know if there's any optimizations I should make before start.

I see. Thank you. Guess I should promote and re-class to War Cleric asap.

As Cherche has both Cleric and Troubadour, reclassing to War Cleric will get skills from both classes?

Restarted again with +LUK/-STR. LUK cap is 49. I hope 98% will not fail me as much as 1% critical that hits lol.

I started another Awakening gameplay hoping to abuse dark tomes this time. I haven't used this before as Tharja got to be Sorcerer class in last few chapters. This time I plan to make my Avatar a sorcerer with this setup. Asset/Flaw: +SPD/-Res (Good SPD without some boosts on SKL and LUK but hurt RES and little of MAG) Skills: Ignis Armsthrift Vantage Vengeance Wrath Class change setup: Tactician (10) -> Grandmaster (5) -> Mercenary (10) -> Myrmidon (10) -> Dark Mage (10) -> Sorcerer Will this work out? Will I reach 50 LUK by the end of the game?

It looks like she was quited blessed with good SPD and OK DEF. She got 11 SPD and 6 DEF right now before changing to Witch. Not that high but I'll work on it.

I intend to use Witch seal and I already plan Sakura and Felicia to be healer with decent damage so only Orochi is free for Witch seal. Since Azura has good enough DEF for now in my run, I plan to use one Dracoshield on Orochi to make her more durable. It should be enough with increased DEF from Witch.

How about Kaze X Oboro and Silas X Sakura instead? Parents only but I changed Hisame to Hana instead. Not that he gets much better though. Orochi with give birth to Ryoma's child.

Kaze can save Sakura without Miracle on her. His luck should increase from pair-up with Sakura. I'm trying to run immortal Kaze with Miraculous Save/Miracle/Renewal/Vantage/Astra. Anyway, I improved my pairing after giving up Vantage on Rinkah so Takumi can have Counter. Corrin X Azura Kaze X Sakura Azama X Felicia Takumi X Rinkah Ryoma X Orochi Hinata X Hana Subaki X Hinoka Silas X Oboro Is it better now?

You're right. I completely forget Takumi already has Spear Fighter. I want to pass Renewal from Hana to others but I also want to pass Vantage to Rinkah. Hinata won't have anything useful from Rinkah pairing at all. What should I do?

I agree that level 15 skills won't be useful. Heck, I didn't get to use any level 15 skills in my previous runs. You spotted right on Takumi X Orochi. I smell canon vibe from this pairing so I hooked them up considering Takumi is already OP with his awfully strong bow.

I'm playing Hard/Classic right now. Looks like I won't need to use heal as much as Awakening so Sakura barely level ups which is too bad. Damn all those healing floors. As I find how productive auto healing is, I intend to maximize Amaterasu/Renewal skills as much as possible on my selected characters. I also love good support story and obtainable skills too. Corrin X Azura I chose SPD/LUK with Lancer talent giving decent spear skills for Asura. Giving Amaterasu for Corrin would be nice too. Kaze X Sakura Kaze gets Miracle, Renewal and Countermagic. Sakura gets Locktouch, Poison Strike and Lethality. Poison Strike should help Sakura chipping more damage with rank E bow. Azama X Felicia Azama gets Live to Serve, Inspiration and Tomebreaker and Felicia gets Miracle, Renewal and also Tomefaire for Strategist Ryoma X Rinkah Ryoma gets Deathblow and Counter making full use of Rajinto to 2 range attacks. Rinkah also gets Vantage which works well with her personal skills and Astra. Hinata X Hana Hinata gets Miracle, Renewal and Countermagic. Hana gets Locktouch, Poison Strike and Lethality. We can't waste Hana's Renewal skill. Takumi X Orochi Takumi gets Rend Heaven, Profiteer, and Spendthrift. Orochi gets Quick Draw, Certain Blow, and Amaterasu. I also like their support. Subaki X Hinoka Subaki get Spear awesomeness and Hinoka gets Samurai skills. They also make the best daughter too. We can't waste Hinoka's hidden spear talent. Silas X Oboro Silas gets spear awesomeness. Oboro gets Luna, Armored Blow and Aegis. Pairing Nohrian hater to good Nohrian sounds cool. And I also plan to use Lodester on Hinata for SpeedTaker to coup with his low Speed growth, Great Lord on Hana since she's the only woman who uses Sword, and Witch on Orochi for better growth rate. Thank you. :)

Actually, I didn't do any boost. Lucina and Chrom hits unexpectedly hard with STR over 30. She'd be even monsterous if I grind Olivia but she's still doing great without grinding. My avatar has 28/28 STR/MAG in final chapter. Regards, Keetakawee

FYI, normal attacks from Falchion has about 20 damage. That'd be 20x2 = 40 before being capped from Pavise. You have Lucina and Chrom for that to trigger damage output. You can even use transfer to have ranged attacker have Chrom/Lucina sup doing damage. But I didn't go that far though. It was my luck that even Pavise couldn't save Grima's ass. Trying to keep him alive and have all three units done talking is harder than beating him to me. I also put LUK as bane but ended up having excellent LUK instead lol.

Hard mode isn't that hard with good planning early. I didn't even grind. Grima can hit hard but he won't likely OHKO my units. On contrary, it's actually harder to keep Grima alive when Lucina keep doing double attack support with some procs like Aether/Astra. I thought using Robin to attack with Arc tomes should do small damage but he ended up killing Grima in EP instead. Fine... I'll hit other enemies so the rest can do talking. Btw, I didn't one shot Grima to death but he ended having himself killed in EP from Robin/Lucina pairing alone. Even Pavise didn't save him from Astra Falchion so I guess I was a bit too lucky huh?

I'm referring to Lucina with Astra. When it procs in hard, you get 2.5x damage of 20 while other weapons do single digit damage so Astra with Falchion helps a lot. If you pair Lucina up with Chrom, you can one shot him too.

No grind Olivia turns out pretty OK. Reclassing to Myrmidon increased a few stats. Maybe not OP Olivia Galeforce version but she can hold herself well together with Chrom. And Chrom X Olivia is good when you can Astra Falchion against Grima. DAT moment is worth it.

Sounds like a good idea. Fixed. Thanks.

Alright. I'm on the last chapter now. Let's see which units made it. Units reached final designated class Chrom: Lord (14) -> Cavalier (10) -> Paladin (10) -> Great Lord Robin: Tactician (16) -> Mercenary (10) -> Hero (5) -> Myrmidon (10) -> Swordmaster (10) -> Grandmaster (Viable with Vetaran or should I skip Vantage/Astra?) Lissa: Cleric (10) -> Sage (15) -> Valkyrie Frederick: Great Knight (15) -> Paladin Virion: Archer (15) -> Sniper (15) -> Bow Knight Anna: No reclass plan for her. Healer with Levin Sword is great. Cherche: Wywern Rider (15) -> Wywern Lord (15) -> War Cleric Lucina: Lord -> Myrmidon (10) -> Assassin (10) -> Great Lord Say'ri: Plan to use her as filler characters. Tiki: Also plan to use her as filler characters. (Reclassed to Dark Knight instead after maxing) Basilio: Warrior (15) -> Hero (There's no way for 5 levels in one map) Units didn't reached final designated class Gaius: Thief (15) -> Assassin (5) -> Myrmidon (10) -> Swordmaster (15) -> Hero (Close at level 13, probably second seal during last chapter) Cordelia: Pegasus Knight (15) -> Falcon Knight (5) -> Mercenary (10) -> Hero (10) -> Dark Flier (Close at level 13, probably second seal during last chapter) Gregor: Mercenary (15) -> Hero (5) -> Myrmidon (10) -> Swordmaster (15) -> Berserker (Close at level 12, probably probably end the game with Swordmaster) Tharja: Dark Mage (15) -> Dark Knight (15) -> Sorcerer (Close at level 12, I missed Dark tomes) Olivia: Dancer (10) -> Myrmidon (10) -> Swordmaster (15) -> Dancer (Close at level 132 probably second seal during last chapter) Looks like trying to level main units affecting others too. There's also Tiki that keeps feeding on enemies that blindly run into her rage. enough to max her level.
