The first spotpass team I got was Karel's. They were, on average, level 8 promoted units with silver gear while I was still using bronze and iron, and my team was around level 5 unpromoted. I didn't look at their stats before rushing into battle, only seeing that they were level 8....that was one of my most spectacular derp moments.

I beat Florina's team, they were pretty low-level. I don't use her, though. She's the same level as my garbage pile - Vaike and Donnel.

I think the only other team I have now is Nino's, which I haven't tried.

I just recruited Morgan. A thief almost got away with a fortify staff, he was one square away from the exit. I decided to risk sending Cordelia/Libra to get it, thinking she had about a 50% chance to survive.

Cordelia's awesome.

I still have seven couples to marry off, I had to work it out on paper as I thought I might have lost my chance to get Sumia's kid.

Look's like Donnel's the odd man out. He looks about ten, anyway. He doesn't need a wife.

My mages hate me. And apparently my Avatar married the creepy goth stalker psycho who watches him sleep.
I tried metagaming the marriage system but I stopped when I realize you could end up marrying your own daughter or something..Being married to the stalker girl wasnt so bad.

As I recall your kid only appears when you marry someone, so I don't think you can marry your own daughter.

Anybody got some pro-tips they'd like to hand out? Fire Emblem is like a snazzy chessgame where the pieces level up. Its so different from what I usually consider an RPG.
My Avatar is a Dark Knight that uses Swords and Tomes. He's very Anti-Tank in that regards and his resistance makes him a Magic-Tank.

His asset is Resistance and his flaw is luck. So, any tips for you seasoned emblemiers?

Luck isn't really a necessary stat to have. If it goes up, that's all well and good, but you never really need it. So you don't need to worry about that.

My tips? Examine the map before you fight. Look at who is out there. Does the enemy have a lot of knights? A lot of cavaliers/paladins? Mages? Flyers?

These are all things you need to take into account. Every type of unit has some sort of weakness. Knights have low resistance and speed and are restricted to using lances. So Mages would be best, but have them attack from a distance as Mages have low Defense. If the Knight lands a hit on your Mage, chances are he'll be casting spells in Oblivion.

Pegasus Knights have high resistance, but are weak to bows. This holds true to all flying units. They're weak to bows. Dracoknights -- or Wyvern knights, or whatever -- have low resistance and high defense, but are still susceptible to bowmen.

Additionally, look at your inventory. Do you have any specialized items? Certain weapons do more damage to certain types of foes. 

And above all, make use of more then just a few characters! You need variety. It won't do you any good if your badass trio goes up against a foe that they can't defeat.... or worse, kills some of them.

To level up donnel I used him pairing up  with kellam for a strength and defense, then I grinded him on the marth dlc, key is pairing himup with someone during the low levels.

[Homebound]

So does Donnel attack or does Kellam attack?

Also I figured out how to make the most broken Avatar ever.
You need to be a lvl 15 Dark knight, then a lvl 15 Paladin, then a lvl 15 General, then a lvl 15 Assassin.
You'll get in order: Lifetaker, Aegis, Pavise, Lethality and Critical +25.
Aegis and Pavise together reduces ALL damage by 50% and is activated by your skill, which is why Assassin is your final class. It has a Skillcap of 48. Which means almost half the time, the damage you get is halved.
Lethality has a chance based on your critical to instantly kill ANY opponent including bosses. The Critical +25 further augments that. Equip a Killing Edge and holycrap thats a 55% chance to insta-kill ANYTHING.
And the best part...Lifetaker. You gain 50% health of the enemy you just killed.

Donnel would have to. If he's just there as backup, he'd rarely get any experience at all. Just bring him in to deal killing blows if he's as fragile as I remember. Technically, you could leave him as the backup characer, but it would take a lot longer...

Also I figured out how to make the most broken Avatar ever.

Well, if you want to do all that, by that time, chances are the rest of your team will also be towering over the enemy. My avatar's overpowered as it is, and she was only a level 20 tactician up to a level 15 grandmaster.

Lethality has a chance based on your critical to instantly kill ANY opponent including bosses. The Critical +25 further augments that. Equip a Killing Edge and holycrap thats a 55% chance to insta-kill ANYTHING.
 

Lethality triggers based on your skill stat divided by 4, not by critical percentage. It's a low percentage. If you're at the cap for skill, that's still only a 12% chance of a trigger. 

I find Lethality to be an entirely redundant skill on Gaius. Every time it has triggered, he would have killed the enemy anyway.

Champions of Yore 2 ($2.50) is available for download, as is the Champions bundle. which nets you all three CoY DLCs for 4 bucks. CoY 3 isn't available yet, but you can download it for free when it comes out if you bought the bundle.

[Arcadian Legend]

Looks like Leif from FE5 is the second DLC lord. The third is Roy from FE6.

[Shepenwepet]

Ephraim on the CoY 2 map was a soldier.

The class exists, dangit. I want one.

[Arcadian Legend]

Lolwat, they kept it as an NPC/enemy class but not a playable one?!

[Shepenwepet]

It appears that way. It sounds like they weren't that enthused about the class to begin with, the description when you click on Ephraim is "An ordinary soldier. Wields a lance." They might as well have said "just some guy with a pointy stick, you don't want this on your team."

[Homebound]

im really starting to get into the game now. Theres been a lot of hate going on about how Emblem's getting dumbed down because it has the Casual mode with the respawn. But I really wouldve been over my head without it. I dont think Id be anywhere as good if I just kept getting punished for trying to pick up the mechanics with permadeaths.

[Shepenwepet]

I personally would have welcomed a casual mode when I was first introduced to the series, but permadeath forces you to think things through and plan a lot more, so you rarely end up losing units unless you bungle a move or get the short end of the critical stick.

I personally don't see why people are hating on the game for including casual mode. If they take away classic mode, then we'll have a problem.

Okay, hopefully someone here besides me is a classic Simpsons fan, because Sully just channelled Grampa...

"What're you cacklin' at, fatty?"

[TEWR]

I've just got to get a 3DS soon. KH3D, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Pokemon.... Christ there are just too many games.

But I'm replaying PoR again and I'm on the Shiharam chapter, Defending Talrega. God damn.... this is one of the chapters that really makes me feel bad.

Ya my next game will be a Casual with permadeath on. I also have a better idea which units should marry who. Stahl and Panne are adorable together! But Frederick and Panne are so cuddly!
My Chrom ended up marrying Marribelle. Your Avatar ended up with Chrom right?
I just met Morgan my Avatar's future daughter and OMG she's so adorable and huggable and I Forged her a Nosferatu book cuz shes a Dark Mage and I called it the "Morganomicon"!!! x3
But damn Tharja my Avatar's S-Support is cold-blooded. She's so mean to "our" daughter! >:T
In my next playthrough Im thinking of picking Olivia. At least she's nice.

what r some of your favourite pairings?

Apparently Jill can switch sides during that battle. It's never happened to me.

Not sure I have one, a lot of the support conversations are a bit silly for my taste. I just unlocked B-support for Tharja and Libra, which was interesting, as was Lon'qu and Cherche's C. Neither of those couples will end up together as Lon'qu married Miriel and Libra married Cordelia.

My avatar did end up with Chrom, but only after a reload. She was originally with Gaius, if only to hear his voice actor during the confession. After hearing some nonsense like "You're a river of chocolate in an ocean of cream", she decided to stick with the prince that sounded like Leon Kennedy. Her third choice would have been the armorer. Dat Gid.

In regards to the whole FE series, my favorite couple is easily Eirika/Seth.

Supposedly it only happens on Hard Mode, if Jill talks to her father. And if you don't have an A support with someone, you're screwed.

[wsandista]

Well I haven't had the chance to play FEA much(only at chapter 8) but I have to say I do love it. Difficulty curve was a bit steep, but after grinding a bit and getting a feel for pair up, Hard mode is a fun challenge without being overwhelmingly difficult or frustrating. Fredrick is surprisingly good for a Jeigan, Chrom is the best lord(stat wise) in the whole series, and the growths seem pretty good for the most part. I am having a bit of trouble with sully though, anyone have some advice on how to handle her?

Also, when do you recruit Tharja and the Manakete? I need them to round out my teams and complete my support pairings.

I kept her as a cavalier. I paired her up with Virion, because at the time he was my biggest damage dealer aside from my avatar. Once their support hit B and A, they reliably dual attacked, and they started shooting up levels. I'd keep her as the active character most of the time, unless there were a lot of fliers on the map.

I had problems with Stahl in the the early chapters, Nothing seemed to be working right for him. Still isn't doing that great. Poor Stahl. I reclassed him as an archer recently because I can never have too many archers.

Also, when do you recruit Tharja and the Manakete? I need them to round out my teams and complete my support pairings.

You get the Manakete (and Gregor) in chapter 8, and Tharja and Libra in chapter 9...if you're quick. Libra tends to charge like a madman into the enemy army.

[Homebound]

Shepen what are some useful skills that you like?
I noticed you like Swords and Bows. I prefer Swords and Tomes for my characters. Tomes have the added advantage of being anti-armor while Bows are only really good vs flying units.

[Shepenwepet]

I'm a fan of Galeforce (Dark Flier 15, grants an extra full move if you kill something during your turn) and Lifetaker. Ignis too. It constantly triggers, I have it on both my avatar and Morgan. I (with great reluctance) changed Gaius over to a warrior so he can get Counter. He still has a bow so it's not that far out of my comfort zone.

Weapons-wise, I'm all for ranged. Tomes first and foremost, quickly followed by bows, then javelins, then short axes. I rarely use swords on characters that can use more than one weapon type. The only characters currently with swords in their inventory are Chrom and Lucina. My Dark Knights don't use 'em.

Okay, here's my situation. I've given up grinding for skills as I really would like to advance the story before I forget what was going on in the first place. I'm on the battle to recruit Severa, Cordelia's daughter.

I've tried the battle three times. First off, you can't talk to her to recruit her, she remains an ally unit for the entire battle. Yippee. I've tried different methods, from splitting my team up to moving them in one huge block in order to keep enemies away from her.

I had the battle pretty much won. During her phase, Severa plunked herself down in the middle of three enemies, attacked one and almost died. I thought I was okay with that, I could heal her up, no problem.... but then I realized she was standing where I needed to be to get rid of all three enemies without risking losses. Plus there were more on the way. I had to risk it, as she would die on the enemy's turn.

Didn't work out so well.

Have I mentioned the allied AI is bad? I have, okay.

Here's my advice to anyone attempting this battle: bring like 17 rescue staves with you. I had brought one solely for Severa, but had already burned through it by this time.

I hate losing a battle through no fault of my own. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just a short little battle. This one's long. I hate the thought of playing through it again.

What do you think, Donnel?

...heh, looks like the avatar's trying to choke him. I don't blame her. He said "Git 'er done" while paired up once. That's worth a choking.

[wsandista]

Is level 15 the cap for promoted units? I see everyone talking about it as a final cap. Also, is the DLC any good?

[Arcadian Legend]

I don't think level 15 is a cap, but rather just when they learn class specific skills. Because you can potentially level infinitely in FE13 what with the skirmishes, DLC maps and reclassing it's probably not seen as worth it to reach the level cap.

[Shepenwepet]

The DLC is pretty meh. It's nice to see some familiar faces, and the battles are ideal to level up some of your weaker characters, but you can use spotpass teams for that, and it's free.

I'm gonna be skipping a lot of it, mostly the ones that just have characters for rewards, because you can get them (albeit with different stats/classes) through spotpass eventually. I'm mainly looking forward to the new classes, the conversation dlcs and "entombed heaven". That'd make grinding a lot less time-consuming.

I finally recruited Severa yesterday. It took me five tries. Four times she was being her usual idiot self, and once my avatar was hit by a 36% / 6% critical. Dude shouldn't have even hit her to begin with.
I used a rescue staff on the first turn, so Severa changes her direction from the get-go. She still hugs walls next to ranged attackers, but it seems easier to keep her safe on the left path.

I loathe her character, though. I want to smack her.
