Strength'll be a problem later, as Jaffar usually has a bad strength growth on top of Hector Lord not getting strength on promotion.

Assuming you want the best ending in 6, Douglas is kind of required to join, so he's an exception, or considered one. if a unit isnt "required" for the best end, then I assume that they are banned.

If you wanna play further in the series, I recommend saving Conquest/Thracia/Later difficulties of New Mystery/Binding Blade for later, they are infamously difficult (Thracia can be cheesed if you are well aware of what you are doing, however.), and my personal recommendations for continuing into the series is Sacred Stones, the Gamecube Games, and (if you can stand waiting like 5 minutes to get to the action per map, because Genealogy is slow), Genealogy of the Holy War. Personally, Thracia, Shadow Dragon, and New Mystery have my favorite gameplay in the series, for being rather tough on the player.

FE2:Immediately, FE2 is basically 0% growths:the game FE3:I haven't played it yet FE4:ASAP since levels dont reset FE5:10-15 FE6:Whenever I finally get a promotion item FE7:Anytime is fine FE8:13-20 FE9/10:levelling naturally FE11/12:10-15 FE14:Depends, really.

Making the levels go from beyond 20/20 in FE13/FE14 was a horrible idea Fates' Story is worse then Awakening's The idea of Book 1/Book 2 like in FE3/FE4 was really cool honestly as if it were 2 games in one.

Sacred Stones is a great start, since promotions are split which means more flexability for the units, but if you want more of a challenge, then Binding Blade, it's a good game if you need a challenging Fire Emblem.

Bartre, if he turns out well, and doesn't get screwed on speed can be a good warrior with strength, and can switch to bows for more accuracy for the fact that despite his slightly lower growths then Dorcas, has a lower starting level for more room for improvement, and in my opinion, he's a very underrated unit.

For those who have seen my twitter, you might not need more explanation, but I am Neptune, and I like memes, Fire Emblem, and Eliwood. I'm amatuer at hacking and I'm just trying my best to hack!
