Topic: Fire Emblem Kakusei (Awakening)

I like to treat my Team as if it were an in-game event. Which is why I give items to Units that wouldn't make sense, like giving Dread Fighter Chrom a Brave Bow or something like that. Also, because of how the AI works; I take away all healing items when sorting the team. The AI always wastes turn healing; it also prioritises on ranged attacks even if the power is tons weaker than close combat.

When making the team, you have to make up for AI shortcomings.

I've often wondered how my team fared in a StreetPass battle... I wish they would send you a notification saying you won/lost.

@ScroogeMcLz Really? When one of my weapons broke it broke on my streetpass team I'll take your word for it though.
Oh and @WinterWarm I beat your team. How did mine fare?

just got the game and started a hard run. WTF wid these pegasus riders, so damn weak.

@SkywardLink98

Very well, like ghosts in the night... They never showed up. Just wait 'til next time! You will fall.

@dniw9 DON'T YOU DARE MOCK THE MIGHT PEGASUS KNIGHT! Dark Fliers are actually pretty OP with Galeforce.

Yeah, erm, no they are not. But on hard you have to pay attention to weaknesses and the weapon triangle more than on normal. Pair them up with someone that boosts their defense and they can sometimes overcome the weaknesses, wind spells and bows.

well i only have 1 unit as a pegasus knight, cordelia. Well, all archers pretty much 1 hit her. meh...

@dniw9 That's the point of archers (to kill Pegasus Knights). Besides that, Archers are pretty useless.

.... unless it's a sniper with counter.

i got a sniper. he suck hard. Well, my pegasus knight is now getting stronger.

anyone wanna tell me whats the primary use for these beast transformers or whatever they called, and the dragon transformers. lol

@dniw9 - The same as what everyone else is used for, attacking enemies. Manaketes (the dragons) can attack from a distance and both kinds of transformers get stat boosts from the stones they use.

Both have advantages and weaknesses, the main strength being they are unaffected by the weapon triangle, the other is their skills. I recommend reclassing them early on, collecting a few useful skills and stat increases, then return them to their Manakete or Taguel classes. This can potentially make them your strongest units.

As for snipers, they are stronger than archers, and only archers or snipers can use the useful bows. Giving them counter makes them less appealing to close ranged attacks, their weakness.

Pardon me, but you do understand this game is strategy, right? Your units are not intended to be kick*** from the start. Also, it's intended for the player to keep in mind the weapon triangle and bonus damage. If you have a wind magic Sage beating up Frederick, don't send in Cordelia, use the avatar and Virion. It's all about taking the least damage and giving the most. I recommend using the Quick Slides for further advice. Also, changing the information format to Full will tell you a unit's strength and weakness.

For pairing, try to pair Virion with a ranged unit, Stahl with a horse rider, Chrom with Avatar, etc.,.

Also what everyone's said it true lol.

That's the best part of the game, on normal you can eventually ignore such matters, but on hard and lunatic you have to mind them even after going through several classes.

@WinterWarm yup i understand that. i may have presented it the wrong way, but i just come here and post which of my units sucked so that someone will tell me whats their actual strengths and weaknesses. I am still very new to the game and i have the slightest idea of such, that is why i cant put up a good strategy. like how weird it is that one moment my beast gives a lot of damage, and on the other moment it gives awfully low damage, like how my riders die fast (now that i know about archers, i know who my riders are to avoid). still learning breh, sorry.

@KittenKoder thanks mate, really helpful, i may come back asking for more help and advice.

by the way, are there other permanent weapons like Chrom's Falchion? or only the Falchion is permanent? if so, whats the point of forging? you spend money for it but in the end it will still be broken right?

@dniw9

Oh, okay, sorry. Well. certain units have higher Defense, and Panne ( Beast, Taguel ) have a weakness against cavaliers and such, and armored units. Armored units have higher Defense, thus they take less damage.

@KittenKoder

True, Hard is like, a whole new thing entirely.

@dniw9 - If by beast you mean Taguel. Then if they have the skill beastbane and fight an enemy that has a horse symbol. I do believe that the base damage gets tripled or something silly like that.

So guys, who is your favourite Morgan?

Mine would probably have to be SumiaxAvatar, since Cynthia will then be really OP.
Or TharjaxRickenxNoirexMU for that Magic Morgan..
Or Lucina for that Aether Morgan.

I had my MU marry Lissa and with Owain as a son, essentially he became a second Morgan. Owain is really strong Magic wise with the MU as a father and Levin Swords/Bolt Axes are lots of fun.
So, I've used Owain more than Morgan. I blame that on having to grind more for Morgan to get Counter, giving Owain plenty of time to gain more levels.
