Official Fire Emblem: Awakening Thread 2.0

[TykiButterfree]

Ooh, I was thinking of trying one of the Fire Emblem Fates games, but now there's an edition with both of them and an art book. I love any excuse to have an art book. I want to preorder it whenever you can.

Nope, Chrom is the only forced marriage.
Take your time with pairing.

Yay! The supports are so fun.

Chrom is the only forced one, but it doesn't matter because my unit always marries him anyway.

Speaking of my unit, so much of what I draw lately is just me ruining her life. I almost feel bad.

She won't have to deal with that for much longer though:

Spoiler: Actual endgame spoiler, click at your own risk

That's a cool picture! You make me want to draw my avatar. I don't see how it's a spoiler so I guess that's good. lol

 

[bloomwaker]

Thanks! i figured some people might recognize certain elements, so it's better to be safe than sorry, haha.

And I say go for it! My unit is all I seem to draw lately, and the recent Fates release date just makes that urge even stronger. I wonder if I'll end up getting just as obsessed with Fates as I did with Awakening. If so, that might be a problem, lmao.

 

[Kairi-Kitten]

I actually recently had a resurgence of obsession with Awakening due to the many ships with the MC haha, or rather supports : ) I am still on my Chrom file and have yet to finish which I really should have by now lol, I also splurged a little for the second generation side story as well as the support hot springs it's fairly entertaining and cute : ) I definitely want to get into that alternate story for the kids though; that should be quite interesting. I also sadly have a long list of supports for other playthroughs so yup still have to even make it through my first run, but hopefully I can get just as addicted with my next support and yes I definitely love the relationship aspect of the game xD

 

[TheEchoTimes]

You know when you do your first file, you get the S-Ranks between people as soon as possible? Did Miriel/Stahl on my first playthrough, and now I regret it after getting Olivia/Stahl in my third (and fourth, hahaha). But now...who will Miriel and Sully marry? I know I'm gonna do Tharja/Henry when I pick it back up... There's another girl who is alone at the moment, as well... But who is it... I can't remember.
But okay Gregor/Panne is LIFE and Berserker!Yarne is BEAST. MY LOOOOOOOOVE~~~

 

[bloomwaker]

Donnel+Nowi makes a monstrous Nah. Galeforce and Counter on a Manakete is terrifying.

 

[Cress]

I like Gaius!Nowi more because Donnel is a parent that gives Galeforce AND Armsthrift. Armsthrift is kinda useless on a Manakete because their best weapons can be purchased easily. Gaius only gives Galeforce so Nah can still do Galeforce shenanigans, but another unit can get Armsthrift so they don't have to worry about breaking limited weapons. (I usually do Donnel!Tharja).

 

[bloomwaker]

I overstock on weapons so armsthrift is pretty much useless to me, lmao.

 

[Cress]

I overstock on weapons so armsthrift is pretty much useless to me, lmao.

But I like to use weapons like the 3 Regalia Weapons, Ragnell, Valflame, and others you can't just buy.

 

[bloomwaker]

Yeah, those are really fun, but I tend to reserve those for the street pass settings saves, otherwise, my units still trounce the others without them just fine.

 

[piichinu]

I can't take this anymore I need to play
I'm actually going insane

 

[xBlablahi]

Fe:a is actually one of my favorite 3ds games aaaah
I was still busy maxing everyone out for streetpass and trying to complete my support log but it takes to long (-_-)'

 

[bloomwaker]

Tell me about it. And then I start a new file and it's like..."Time for a new street pass team. =D"

 

[TykiButterfree]

I am currently trying to give Lethality to anyone who can learn it. My team is becoming overrun with assassins. lol I also keep buying logs from my brother's streetpass team because it is a more fun E rank weapon than a bronze lance. Is there a lame magic book too? I haven't seen one yet. I kind of want to get all of the dumb weapons and put them on one of my streetpass characters for fun.

 

[bloomwaker]

The lamest I can think of is the one that has like 3 uses, which isn't lame in the Joke Weapon sort of way, just on the "I can't use this for long" sort of way.

I have decided to begin playing this game again, but it's been forever since I last did so and I think I remember stressing myself out last time by trying to train and level up too many characters. So this time I'd like to limit myself but I'm not sure what a good amount would be. I'll be playing on Casual (but doing my best not to die!) and I'll have a female MU. Also, while I will try to unlock the children, I don't want to use them (with maybe the exception of Lucina and Morgan) on my team right now (might do so during a later play-through, though). So, any thoughts on what would be a good number (just a number, I'll figure out later who I want to use, ha ha)? Thanks!

 

[Cam1]

Maybe like 15. Id say thats a pretty good number to go with for this a playthrough. Im currently maxing out all my characters in my playthrough. Ive got like 10 done and like 10 more decently close.

It's possible to max out theirs stats by doing certain DLC chapters many times or even abusing the inexpensive and readily available Reeking Boxes to fight many Risens. However, it is time-consuming to get everybody maxed up, so prioritizing a few select units is a great idea if you just want to play the game without too much stress. The exp gain for the few characters you'd choose would level up quicker than if you were to spread exp and resources thinly to everyone, the latter of which could spell disaster if this were to happen in any Fire Emblem game that doesn't allow you to grind without using the arena.

The units you'd want to choose should be the ones you'd consider very useful in the battlefields. All playable characters have potential to become a huge help for a variety of reasons in any playthrough. Since we're talking about a minimal-to-no-grinding sort of run, most of the earlier units you get in the game are going to be the ones you'd most likely want in your army. All of the units you mentioned are a great choice for plowing through the game, especially if the parents for Lucina and Morgan are Chrom and Female MU.
Remember, I don't advise using characters that are obtained very late in the game and takes too long to grind for them to actually become useful for the most part of the game; they would end up being much less useful than your usual favorite troops. I bet you wouldn't want to use Donnel, Virion and such in this run.

Since I'd like to have a bit of variety in my army while giving a moderate amount of exps to everyone and guarantee completing chapters within a few turns, I'd stick with around 10 characters at first.

Okay, thank you for your thoughts and feedback, Cam, and TheBigJC7777777! It's very much appreciated! <3

I actually have the EXPponential Growth and Golden Gaffe DLC's but I'd like to not use them this time (or just a bit if I really need money for something) because I'd like to beat the game with what is available in the game itself, if that makes sense (I don't mind grinding, just that I'd do it this time by using Reeking Boxes, because I find the EXPponential Growth DLC not a very fun map, ha ha). ^_^

Also, can someone remind me when the best moment for reclassing is and when to use a second seal or master seal? I remember reading some people saying "do it at level 10", others "no, 15" and then others "no, max them out to 20 first", and there was also something about hidden stats? Thanks! <3
