So I just got a 3Ds for Christmas and I got this game, holy fucking shit its beating the crap out of me. Any tips for me to get good? my whole team does no fucking damage and dies in two hits to regular enemies, should I be pairing up at all times? Also Fire Emblem thread get your ass in here.

>>321916480
What difficulty?
>>
>>321917360
I'm on hardmode classic, not changing that shit either
>>
The game is designed around grinding or if you want to intentionally limit yourself to add some semblance of difficulty to the game then pure min/maxing as it is incredibly easy to make characters incredibly broken and unkillable

Just grind up my unit and chrom or whoever else because growths don't matter in this game until you win

Keep your healer in the back and protected and use her often.
You can hit A while your cursor is on an enemy and see their attack / move range combined to see if they could hit your units where you move them or not. Use this.
Play defensively if you need to.
Save after fights, unless you're playing on classic mode and characters die that you didnt want to die. Then restart instead if they did.
Do the fights that pop up on the map to keep gaining levels.
Pair up when you need to.
Ignore leveling up Donnel if you don't understand the game yet or have the DLC to grind him out. He can be one of the overall best, but is difficult to grind up to a useful point.
Pay attention to weapon strengths and weaknesses. Sword > Axe > Lance > Sword
Arrows and Wind magic > Flying units
etc.
Don't use a master seal until you max out a class at level 20. The earlier you use it, the worse off you will be.
Base classes get abilities at levels 1 and 10, promoted classes (master seals) get abilities at 5 and 15.
Don't use Frederick. He will run train on everything and take EXP away from your other units making them even worse off down the road. If you ignore him, eventually you will have plenty of units that can run train on people, should you keep them alive and level them well enough.
Don't worry about forging weapons right away.

Awakening is one of the easier titles and a nice starting point. Good luck.

>>321917574
now when you say grind how do I do that? Can I return to previous levels?
>>
>>321917473
>hardmode
Well there's your fucking problem. This game judges difficulty on an asian scale, so easy is normal, normal is hard, and hard is "bend over, whore."
>>
>>321918062
Hard mode is basically normal. There's 2 difficulties after that.
>>
>>321917473
Hard actually becomes too easy as your units get stronger, especially if you use your Robin a lot. Just stick with it.
>>
>>321917880
the GBA one was way easier than this shit anon like holy hell thanks for the tips tho bb
>>321918062
it said normal was for people who had never played fire emblem anon, it questioned my masculinity, but yeah its seems nigh impossible atm
>>
>>321918062
you haven't even played the game

it has four modes: normal, hard, lunatic, and lunatic+

normal is braindead easy and if you have the slightest idea of how the game works you can basically steamroll over the entire game
hard is alright, though it can easily be cheesed thanks to stupid mechanics like grinding or the Second Seals
lunatic is fucking bullshit you basically need to follow an exact plan to get through in the first couple chapters, and you essentially have to ride on RNG
lunatic+ is lunatic but even fucking worse
>>
>>321917917
Kill enemies that spawn on the map randomly. You can also use "reeking boxes" to summon risen to fight. What space you use the box on determines the level and difficult of the enemies. You can find these boxes and buy them at certain shops.

Also I would have suggested starting on Normal classic vs Hard classic.
>>
Haven't played Awakenings yet but I assume some general advice still applies: meticulously check the range of enemy units, buy/equip weapons to units' strengths, pair up all the time, grind exp when you can. I'm sure more experience FE players can help with specifics.

Just got into the series myself, on mission 10 of FE Binding Blade (6 I think). Loved the Advance Wars series when I was younger so I'm enjoying the similar style a lot. Looking forward to playing the other games though I've heard Shadow Dragon on DS sucks for some reason
>>
>>321916480
>Any tips for me to get good?
Have you played an SRPG before, or Fire Emblem? The biggest mistake I made as a kid playing FE7 was sending my frailer units in first, you need units with high Def or that can heal themselves in the front. Keep in mind that most of your combat will happen during the Enemy Phase, with hordes of enemies running at you.

>should I be pairing up at all times?
Pretty much, Pair Up is not a very balanced mechanic in FE:A and can be abused.

Another broken mechanic like this I missed on my first playthrough was the Rescue staff. Send one of your guys in to attack then teleport them out of trouble.
>>
>>321917473
That's fine. Pair-up a lot. Don't abuse Fredrick, or else the lack of Exp is gonna bite you in the ass.

Pair-up is fucking broken and it's even more so when you do it between two characters that can marry, so pick a waifu carefully.

Ricken, Virion and Henry all suck dogshit, don't use them for anything other than breeding horses, and even then Virion sucks at that too.

Mercenary is the most OP class in the game. If you're using Vaike you feel he's too slow reclass him to Brigand.

Tharja and her dark magic is broken as hell.

You can buy more Nosferatu from Uncle Merric.
>>
don't let any unit in enemy range ever unless it's Chrom, Robin (if you're +Def), Frederick, Sully, Stahl, Kellam, Panne, Gregor, Nowi, or Cherche

Fuck this chapter and everything in it

If a unit who goes left doesn't die then a unit who goes right will. But if I'm to slow with my units then a thief will steal everything or any of the 3 other npcs might die.

Fuck this chapter

And just for extra laughs when I was closed to beating the chapter one time the fucking boss comes out of nowhere with her absurd range and kills one of my paladins.

>>321917917
Later in the game you can summon old characters on the map and they give decent xp. the main problem is they drop no weapons so you should have a way to get new weapons if you try that method.
>>
>>321919632
But how? That mission demands mounted units but sadly I neglected most of my cavalry and the pegasus riders dies so easily.

>>321918670
played FE before love it to death I get all the basics, this ones just murdering me :/
>>
>>321917473
That can be pretty hard for a newcomer, but it will get a lot easier once you get through the beginning and start getting grinding opportunities.

I personally found it hardest to accept the fact that yes, your fragile units can easily get oneshotted if you are even a bit reckless with them. Especially flying enemies just love to kamikaze-strike your healers down.
>>
>>321919405
What bothers me about this map is the Fog of War. It has a really cool objective, but the way you need to just have your units charge forward blindly without bothering to check whatever they're actually fighting to save Jaffar/Nino/Zephriel in time was really dumb; what always made FE to me was the deterministic battles, and it can't really be called deterministic when you don't even know what you're fighting.
>>
>>321920212
>are you kidding me that mission was the fucking business shit was mad fun
Tell me Anon, how many tries did it take you to beat it?
>>
>>321920663
but the stress of not knowing what was ahead was incredible, I had all my units clumped up with my tankier units in the front and the whole time I was sweating bullets hoping they could take whatever came next, I slowly inched my way through it as I ground my enemies to dust was an A1 experience imo

But sadly I promoted two units before I knew that you are supposed to wait for level 20. So fuck me and my playthrough

Git gud.
Ursula was legit bullshit, but it's perfectly possible to beat it without mounted units if you know where Ursula is. Zephiel is pretty much self sufficient.
Just make sure you never leave units alone, and give groups some balance.

Wrong. You only need to level a class until you have the skills you want from it.

1 and 10 for pre-promoted classes.

5 and 15 for promoted classes.

I'm thinking about buying this game, so :
Should I level up everyone in my team?
I read the story has 2 generations, would the old team leave me after a certain chapter?
How do I know which girl I am going to marry?
I intended to go for Lucina and read somewhere that she's in the 2nd generation, Do I need to keep my chara alone without pairing up with another girl until Lucina joins?
Can I make my chara a healer? Will it be good?
I read that weapons can beak, how often do they do that?
>>
>>321923651
You know those incredibly powerful units you have that you aren't using (e.g. pent, harken, even fucking marcus)? Use them.

>>321923089
Pure water faggot.
>>
>>321924083
I don't really care about ranking, doesn't seem to make any difference. As for shitty characters and good characters, well I have a very hard time to tell a difference most of the time. If I went by that logic then I would only level Lords, magic users and generals.

I would say Paladins as well, but seeing how my first Fire Emblem was the sacred stones where the OP Chosen Champion Avatar of Khorne aka Seth exists paladins didn't leave a good impression on my because I feared they would be to strong and make the game a cakewalk.

>I'm thinking about buying this game, so :

The most effective strategy is to give all the exp to one unit, but you can do whatever
>I read the story has 2 generations, would the old team leave me after a certain chapter?
It doesn't, it has some stupid time travel shit and you don't lose anyone
>How do I know which girl I am going to marry?
They're all insufferable but you don't have to marry the player character to anyone
>I intended to go for Lucina and read somewhere that she's in the 2nd generation, Do I need to keep my chara alone without pairing up with another girl until Lucina joins?
No, you get to choose and you can get to A rank support with anyone before committing
>Can I make my chara a healer? Will it be good?
Not initially but you can change classes later. Kind of a waste of potential though. You could be a class that can both heal and use offensive magic if you prefer.
>I read that weapons can beak, how often do they do that?
After like 30 attacks, varies depending on weapon. But resource management is a joke in this game so you can just buy more.

Except Florina joins with high def, good strength, best avoid in the game, and has the dips on Lyn Mode energy drop and robe.
Florina base stats

Fiora base stats

So at 7 levels higher, Fiora comes with just 3 more strength and 2 more def. And her str growth is weaker.

I'm playing awekening on normal and in chapter 19 enemies basically rape me. Is this one of these grinding game or am I doing something wrong here?
>>
>>321927056
But she doesn't even die in 1 hit to a bow because effective damage in FE7 is x2.
>>
>>321927056
>AND DIES IN ONE HIT TO A BOW???
Try dying in one hit to a axe

Or much to my surprise a fireball (or was it elfire?).

Come on.

>>321927041
A good measure is judge how likely they are to hit 20 on their important stats by level 20

So if you see Kent and he has 13 str, 10 speed, 12 skill and 13 def, there's a reasonable chance he'll be capped or close to it on those important stats by promotion so there's a solid chance he'll be a strong unit as things go on

You can basically judge it on things like that, though there is always potential for ending up with shit like a Lyn with 6 def at 20/20
>>
>>321926918
And the rest of my units have progressed far enough by that point to make carrying Fiora to easy exp simple and painless. Plus Florina's a shit moeblob, no reason to ever like her.

ESSENTIAL PROTIPS:
>decide which units to pair up before the fight, so you can make couples and receive OP bonuses when fighting the enemies
>don't level up your OP characters that much, they'll suck later on
>instead, focus on your weaker units and only use your OP units for beating harder enemies

>mfw Lyn got +def on every level last playthrough
Having a fairly tanky swordmaster got stupid really fast.
>>
>>321927815
Lyn would be shit even if she gained +def every turn.
>>
>>321923371
Dude that doesn't mean shit in awakening. You've got second seals whenever you want 'em.
>>
>>321927918
She just ends up shit at endgame, doesn't mean she's shit throughout the entire campaign.
>>
>>321927996
Actually she is pretty much shit the entire time outside of her mode. There like 20+ units in the army that can kill hoards of enemies by counterattacking. Lyn can't.
>>
>>321928318
Mine did.

>>321927056

>Florina can barely lift a slim lance before promotion
>She totally deals damage with a silver lance guys, never mind that every knight doubles her

Heath is by far the best flyer in the game, just by the merit of actually having the capability to hurt non-casters due to his STR and CON.

Supports will obviously improve the sisters and make them passable, but at the end of the day Florina will always be laughabel with 22 STR and 5 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) CON at 20/20

Now for real answers, since that other guy doesn't seem like being helpful. The game is pretty good, you should probably get it if you like these kinds of games:

> Should I level up everyone in my team?
No. You can't use them all anyways. As long as you make sure you're splitting the xp fairly evenly you should be fine with leveling, although if you do choose to use Donnel you will have to focus on him more than others.

>I read the story has 2 generations, would the old team leave me after a certain chapter?
No, there's time travel.

>How do I know which girl I am going to marry?
You can pick any of them. However, CHROM WILL MARRY AT THE END OF THE FIRST HALF. Make sure you get him to S rank with one of the women he can S rank with before that happens (PC works if you're playing as a woman and is probably the best choice statswise). If you don't he'll marry a village girl and Lucina will be pretty bad.

>I intended to go for Lucina and read somewhere that she's in the 2nd generation, Do I need to keep my chara alone without pairing up with another girl until Lucina joins?
Just don't do the S rank support conversations until you get her to S with you. Feel free to pair up as much as possible, it's not like other FE games where you can only have so many supports.

>Can I make my chara a healer? Will it be good?
You shouldn't. Your character is best as their default class and one of your best combat characters. Plus Libra and Maribelle are both healers and they're both fun to keep in your party.

>I read that weapons can beak, how often do they do that?
Weapons have charges, they break when they run out of charges. Don't worry, it's not a hidden value and with a few exceptions they can all be purchased.
>>
>>321928713
>Your character is best as their default class
Don't lie to the man.
>>
>>321920424
Playing classic on "easy" the grinding is necessary?
>>
>>321929012
We're not talking galeforce abusing lunatic + here, we're talking advice to someone who hasn't played any FE games before. I think it's best for a newbie to keep their MC as the balanced jack of all trades class the game starts them with.
>>
>>321928552
Florina doubles everything in the game and has better avoid than Heath.
>>
>>321916480

Don't grind OP. The game is entirely beatable on hard without grinding. Don't let the game be ruined by you by /v/ scrubs who don't know how to beat a Fire Emblem if turtling and choke points are not an option
>>
Friendly reminder that Awakening is the perfect FE, and Sakurai agrees.

http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/12/26/fe25/

>Sakurai: I really like it. When Awakening came out, I thought, this is the definitive Fire Emblem game. Until now, I’d felt every game in the series was especially good at one thing, but was lacking in another, was missing a piece, but Awakening had really good balance, or how do I say it– I thought this game was perfection, that it just felt really complete.
>>
>>321929309

>doubles everything

With 4 CON and 5 CON after promotion? She only doubles with the weakest weapons in the game, paired with her shit STR she scratches opponents twice.

>better avoid

Cool, Heath has almost twice her DEF and way higher HP. Dont even try to bring up RES as comparable stat, we both know it isnt.
>>
Alright guys, who were the mvps in your game? For me, it was THE VAIKE. Nigga didn't care about weapon triangles or magic, he almost anyways has a high evasion rate.
>>
>>321929907
Kellam basically soloed my Awakening playthrough. Never took damage so I could just plop him in the middle of the map and let everyone suicide into him.

Maribelle. I thought she was a stuck up bitch at first but after getting her supports I realized that she's legit awesome. I love how they didn't take the lazy routes of just inverting the expected tropes with her but made it so that she was actually a deeper character.
>>
>>321929440

Oh yeah maybe I should explain what turtling and choke points are

Turtling is the strategy of surrounding your healer by units with a lot of defense and just let them take hits and heal them, so that you're pretty much invincible and move forward in a turtle formation. Not a viable strategy in Awakening, because the enemy actually moves towards you instead of waiting for you until you crossed a certain tile, so you can't just easily lure out single enemies.

Chokepoints were points where the enemy could only pass a single unit through, so plaving a tank in front of a choke point and putting a healer behind him basically shut down the entire enemy army and you just had to wait until your tank killed the entire enemy. Also not possible in Awakening because of the general lack of choke points.

In general Awakening forces you to play more aggressively instead of going for a defensive strategy and the best way to survive is to quickly take out the most dangerous units first (In the beginning, definitely kill the people with the hammers first, because they're capable of killing Frederic. for example. Always watch out for bonus damages and the skills of enemies. Use pair up when you can, it gives you a good chance at immediately killing an enemy and makes it more like that you'll survive the enemy round
>>
>>321929086
Nope, it's hard when things start to get hairy without grinding.
>>
>>321929907
Morgan soloed the entire game and spot/streetpass teams for me.
>>
>>321929907

Panne turned out to be incredible when I turned her into a Wyvern. All that damage
>>
>>321930379
>In general Awakening forces you to play more aggressively instead of going for a defensive strategy and the best way to survive is to quickly take out the most dangerous units first

This isn't really true past a certain point because of how much your unit's stats snowball above the enemies, at least on hard
>>
>>321929907
Kellam hauls ass in most of my playthroughs. Crits everything when he has no business doing it and holds the line. He eventually stops being useful like most parents, but he gets me through the early maps
>>
>>321930595

That's true for any FE though. After a certain point your characters just become unstoppable Gods
>>
>>321930536
No duh he did that for everyone. If you marry Chrom he's basically a dark god of destruction, but even if you marry a bad unit he's still probably the most powerful unit in the game short of a miracle. The only run where I've had a unit better than him was the one where my Yarne never got less than 5 stats each level.
>>
>>321929907
Kellam and Gregor. Kellam takes hits like a fucking main battle tank, and Gregor is a slippy fucker that just avoids pretty much everything thrown or pointed at him.
>>
>>321918402
>it said normal was for people who had never played fire emblem anon

But it seems you never played fire emblem before, right?
>>
>+mag, -str feMU
>pair with chrom
>swap to mercenary as soon as you can to get armsthrift
>promote to hero as soon as you can and get sol
>swap to sorcerer at lvl 10
congrats you beat FE13
>>
IMHO playing FEA on Hard with grinding takes way less skill than playing it on Normal with no grinding allowed (you can only play paralogues that give new characters, and no random Risen battles).
>>
>>321930285
>Never took damage so I could just plop him in the middle of the map and let everyone suicide into him.
That is literally the only way to play Awakening with any degree of consistency due to shit map design and why it is a bad FE

Sol is a bit redunant when you have infinite nosferatu tomes available

i would say she is a fairly strong unit. at least on my playthrough. Severa was pretty amazing too
>>
>>321931097
Not just shit map design, but also shit enemy programming. iirc all they do is kamikaze attack you.
>>
>>321931186
yeah but you might as well get it since you're going through merc and hero to get speed and skill anyways
>>
>>321931302
I've heard that's been fixed in Nohr/Conquest/Black Kingdom. Can anyone confirm?
>>
>>321929756
>With 4 CON and 5 CON after promotion? She only doubles with the weakest weapons in the game, paired with her shit STR she scratches opponents twice.
She has on average 1 lower strength than Kent. And she has 20 speed on average at 20/2. She's still faster than someone like Sain even after losing 4 speed from killers or 5 speed from silvers.
>>
>>321931302
TBF that's all they ever did, it's just that in previous games their aggro ranges were much shorter.
>>
>>321931573
In FE4 they won't attack if they have 0% hit, which is kind of annoying if you want to kill lots of them on enemy phase with holsety or something
>>
>>321926982
What was the point of the arena anyway?
>>
>>321932026
Money/Level grinding.
>>
>>321931893
They still attacked when they couldn't damage you though, didn't they? Or am I just remembering wrong.
