Rhaegar Targaryen

After many years, I've finally managed to pre-order a special edition of a Fire Emblem game.

Very interesting. I hope to see the relevance of the JP name revealed during the story.

Looking for Corrin with Shove, Seal Resistance, Spendthrift, Potent Potion, Quick Salve, and Demoiselle. I have every other legal skill.

Looking for Aptitude for Ignatius, Siegbert, Shigure, and Soleil.

Whoo, bondage! :D Address in signature.

No, I completely agree with V + V not being worth it in Apotheosis. I should've elaborated on the subject of Miracle in StreetPass. I certainly don't use it in my StreetPass team. However, I do use it when fighting other StreetPass teams, in combination with Vengeance and Vantage. Since the AI doesn't Pair Up, Miracle is a godsend. Getting an additional 39 atk, and using it before enemy units can hit you, is fantastic, especially when you have a Brave weapon. EDIT: My StreetPass team consists entirely of fliers with Braves, Limit Breaker, Lethality, and some combination of Counter, Iote's Shield, Lucky 7, and Luna. I chose fliers because watching some friends fight my team when it consisted of ground units resulted in the occasional exploitation of terrain, allowing them to fight only 1 or 2 of my units at a time. This was unacceptable, hence the switch to fliers. The idea is to swarm the player with units that have numerous opportunities to immediately kill one of the player's units. Equipping 1-range weapons forces the AI to attack at 1 range, which in turn provides opportunities to proc Counter. This team falls easily enough in indoor maps but is absolutely backbreaking in maps which were designed to favor fliers. It is certainly beatable, of course, but I did my best to provide a challenge to the player.

If we are to take this definition of usefulness, I must agree on every point. Also, it becomes more effort than it's worth to recruit him on higher difficulties.

+Spe -Lck I would advise against Counter, unless it's being paired with Miracle, Vengeance, and Vantage. Also, Astra is often a bad skill. First, it makes you suffer immensely vs Counter. Second, it WILL NOT give extra chances for activating another ability. Sol is very, very good; Luna is a solid option for everyone; Ignis could work but you'll need both Str and Mag to be fairly high to get more out of it than you'd get out of Luna. Ignis is quite good on Manakete!Morgan, though. Also, don't bother with -faire if you're gonna use 2+ weapon types, else you'll often be wasting a skill. As you are a 1st gen male, Aggressor is only half as good as it can be; I wouldn't bother with it, personally, as it doesn't benefit you on enemy phase. Sample build: 1) Limit Breaker -Necessary for everyone 2) Armsthrift -To preserve your Brave Swords/Axes and Celica's Gales 3) Sol -To keep you alive in the face of certain death 4) Aegis -To keep you alive in the face of certain death 5) Pavise -To keep you alive in the face of certain death Alternatively, you can ditch the last two in favor of Ignis and Tomefaire. You'll primarily use Celica's Gale, except for those occasions when a tome would not be the ideal choice. The lack of Galeforce makes your multiple weapon types less valuable by a very great deal, which is why I'm not usually a fan of 1st gen Dread Fighters. EDIT: I'd ditch Locktouch and Lethality, for certain. Robin learns so many skills that the former is kind of a waste on him and the latter is simply unreliable.

I always recommend +Spd / -Lck. Unlucky crits will happen but those are manageable. You get doubled, you die.

I like Vengeance a great deal but I have to agree with the above arguments. I'd also add that it doesn't scale as well vs Apotheosis enemies, due to their comparatively high Res. However, it works very well with Vantage. If you intend to do most of your fighting during enemy phase, I can't recommend the combination highly enough. Alas, it has little synergy with Aggressor, which is fantastic when used with Brave weapons. Where Vengeance truly shines is in StreetPass battles, combined with Miracle and Counter, but that's another topic entirely.

That sucks beyond belief. To reiterate what's been said already, your attitude is great. I know I wouldn't be nearly as upbeat if mine were stolen (300+ hours across 3 playthroughs, lol). I hope you enjoy the game even more this time around.
