Topic: Fire Emblem Kakusei (Awakening)

I second this. Whenever there's a ally or other surrounded, 'Rescue' them.
Level up and promote Lissa and you'll have a lifesaver in your army. Trust me.

Thanks aqueous! (Earlier post) Im actually survivng more than three waves of enemies

@Geonjaha But if you do casual mode, you can keep playing the level even when they die. If you reset then you have to start it over, and it lets you create the perfect strategy.

True but some deaths are down to bad luck. Normal/Casual, only 1 death so far and that was due to an unlucky crit (2% I think it was). Tharja wasn't happy but anyway, sometimes the perfect strategy isn't enough. Casual saves the tedium for me.

@Xtremetdiffan - You're welcome. Great to hear you are surviving. It is a hard map, I'm glad I'm of some help.

@Aqueous, yeah, that's what I finally ended up doing last night (using the Rescue Staff).

@Geonjaha, true, but even though I want to keep all my troops alive, I want to do it on my own merit. For me, it adds an extra sense of accomplishment when the battle's all said & done, and you've kept everyone alive.

Anyhow, I've completed Paralogue 2 & Chapter 6 now, and got my first marriage set up (my avatar Link and Sully).

Play it any way you want. Don't let others dictate how you should enjoy a game.

So, is it recommended that you fight the risen that pop up on the map in past locations, or would you be fine just moving on to the next main mission?

@RR529 - It's fine to skip them but I'd fight them for the experience or for building supports.

I recommend fighting Those early on, but later on I would only do it if i got ample experience.

@RR529 - On Lunatic, avoid them like the army slaying plague they are. Anything thing less deadly, I hear exp and gold awaits.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll just continue to skip them, since I've been doing fine so far.

Beat Chapter 7! (there was an eagle flying backwards over the ravine, lol)

EDIT: I ended up doing one. It was a good time waster, but I think I'll continue to skip them like I had planned.

Also, do you ever get the chance to get another Beaststone for Panne? I'm trying to build her & Ricken up, and I'm worried I'm going to make her useless.

@RR529 - You'll have the opportunity to buy Beaststones at a later shop; until then, you'll just have to be judicious in using Panne.

@Birdman, thanks!

Just beat Paralogue 3 & Chapter 8. I'm loving Gregor, lol.

Im going to pair Lon'qu and Lissa together so Owain can be an over powered beast!!!! :3

@GamecubeMan Lissa and Donnel will make an OP Owain too (and he can have 51 luck + armsthrift). I put Lonqu with Cordelia and got an OP Severa. But really most units are OP with max stats.

So... Donnel is the best choice for an op Owain? I have the majority of my army unmarried (only mu lucina, chrom Olivia are) so who is the best wife for donnel, Lon qu and frederick among others.

@Xtremetdifan Well, he's one (or the) best unit in my army, so I can suggest those two marriages for OP units. You can use

to find which marriages are best for what unit. It depends on what role you want them to play.

Beat Chapter 9 earlier today, and wow, I was shocked at what happened here. This is easily shaping up to be Nintendo's best 3DS game, from what I've played.

Did you like the Rain effects and the music on that chapter? It really sets the mood for it after what had happened.
