Even though Fire Emblem Awakening is a fun game with memorable characters, I honestly think its main storyline is terrible. Although I've never played Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing before, even that game has a better storyline than Awakening. FE13's main plot is that bad. Don't get me wrong: I think that overall, FE13 is a good game and a much better game than Big Rigs. It's just that in my book, Big Rigs easily wins hands down when it comes to the main storyline. :P

Hey guys, I was exploring the FE13 Subforum and I didn't really see any threads that specifically delve into which classes are the most useful in Awakening, so I thought I'd make one just for that purpose. The idea of this thread is to sort the classes for how useful they're generally considered to be for the postgame metagame-- namely spotpass challenges and challenge maps like Apotheosis. This refers more generally to which classes are the most useful to reclass into, regardless of the character. (Assume all DLC content available.) I'll keep track of more or less what the general consensus is in the OP for reference to anyone looking for like a general classing / strategy guide. S-Rank: Top of the line, second to none. - Sage [s / A Limbo] - Darkflier A-Rank: The best units with the most essential qualities required for success in the postgame. - Valkyrie - Falcoknight - Hero - Dancer B-Rank: Very strong units that typically act as good filler. May be interchangeable with one another or some A-rank units. - Berserker - Paladin - Sniper - Assassin - Dreadfighter - Bride C-Rank: Strong units with unique niches, though these roles are usually overshadowed by more powerful units. - Wyvern Lord - Sorcerer - Dark Knight - Greatlord - Grandmaster - Manakete D-Rank: Units that are usable, but mostly outclassed by other units. Not bad, but typically not worth a team slot. - Bow Knight - Warrior - General - Great Knight - Griffon Rider - Swordmaster - Trickster - War Monk E-Rank: Bottom-of-the-barrel units that have no practical use or application in competitive settings. - Villager - Taguel - Lodestar General Conduct: For discussion purposes, try to stick to discussing one or a few units at a time. While completed, the list may still be subject to change if enough substantial evidence for the change is offered up. **When discussing a unit, don't forget to mention which tier you think it belongs in.**

Yeah, I did a review for Awakening a while back around the time it came out. Reread it recently when my resurgent Fire Emblem obsession came back around, and it actually wasn't a horrible review, so I thought I'd share it. I know most people know Awakening like the back of their hands by now so there's probably no untreaded ground here, but take from it what you will, I suppose.

I've been thinking about using Ricken on my Hard Mode file lately. I've played Awakening before but never used Ricken. How is he as a unit? His main competition is Miriel. EDIT: Wow spelled would wrong. I'm so proud.

I want to know who I should pick as a wife for my avatar, Anna or Sully?

So as the title suggests, I'm looking for the best pairings/marriages I could do for Fe:A. I'm not planning to do DLC (not yet, anyway- maybe after I beat all classic modes for Hard and Lunatic) so please don't include the options that's only available with DLC. I understand that there are tons of forums and guides asking for the same thing but I eventually got tired of shifting through pages and pages to find my optimal pairings. And no one seemed to agree on specific pairings except some :/ I don't mind grinding to level up and get specific skills cause I want to make all my units the best they can be - I'm sort of OCD that way xD The pairings that I think are good and decided are in bold and the rest are my thoughts so please provide opinions^^ It would be great too if you could give me some ideas as in what skills to pass down. Chrom and FeMU – Pass down Rightful King and Galeforce/Ignis for Lucina, Aether and Galeforce/Ignis for Morgan Stahl and Cordelia – Pass down Aegis and Galeforce Gaius and Tharja - Pass down Lethality/Counter and Vengeance Henry and Sumia – Pass down Vengeance and Galeforce Ricken and Miriel – Pass down ? and ? Libra and Olivia – Pass down Renewal and Galeforce Gregor and Panne – Pass down Sol and Beastbanes Nowi and Donnel – Pass down ? and ? Kellam and Sully – Pass down ? and ? Vaike and Lissa – Pass down Counter and Renewal Lon’qu and Cherche – Pass down Astra and Swordbreaker Frederick/Virion and Maribelle – Pass down Luna/Prescience and Galeforce What else was there? @_@

Hi everyone! I've lurked here for a while and finally decided to make an account with some help I'm needing for a few things. The first of which is to match up remaining pairings for my hard run through, as I am taking a break from the stress that is a first time Lunatic run through and not having DLC. Here is what I have planned thus far I've already hooked up - ChromxSumia - SullyxVaike - MU(+mag-str)xLissa In this run through, I wanted to try to veer away from CordiliaxStahl, FredrickxCherche, TharjaxGaius, Lon'quxMaribelle, and GregorxPanne, (just wanting to try new things this runthrough). I regret not pairing SullyxDonnel to try something new, but SullyxVaike made them much more sturdy when going through the story against units that make it past my MU. I'm willing to grind, and I just gained access to buying master seals, (MU has been making me loads of Bullion with Despoil), and I now have all but Ricken and Miriel promoted. All comments and advice is appreciated!

I would have to say my least favourite class is probably the trickster, I mean i just don't really see any use for them, I mean acrobat is a decent skill but I think valkryies is the better option, the have nice magic,nice speed, and mobility, i mean sure acrobat negates the mountain thing but there is falcon knights as well, For my favourite class is well i dunno why, but berserker is mine, i mean there aren't really good units that can become an amazing berserker except for mu and morgan, (keep in mind i haven't really looked alot into the children units) anyways berserkers have low defense as well as VERY LOW resistance, i am sure many people have already thought of this exploit but with the skills vantage(berserkers have low defensive stats so vantage makes him pretty good) as well as vengeance and i say that berserker becomes awesome, wrath will insanely boos the critical hit so another plus. give the berserker sword breaker to solve the berserker meh hit and you should be fine. Also keep in mind i don't have any dlc so no dread fighter or bride is the reason why i did not choose those, Also i just got into fe so sorry if i said any noobish stuff.

Hello Everyone, I have created the Continent of Ylisse from Fire Emblem Awakening in Civilization V. I am unsure of how many people on Serenes Forest play Civilization, but if you do, a download, as well as feedback, would be appreciated. On a side note - this is my first post here on Serenes Forest :) http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=210299371&searchtext=

Okay, so I've been wanting to ask someone about the pairings I chose and how good they are (Both support/story/personality wise and optimization wise). I've played the game for a while now and wondered how good my pairings are. So I wanted to get a chance to ask other FE:A players about them. How good are my pairings good optimization wise and support wise? (I tried balancing them both out, not doing the worst optimization pairings or doing crack pairings) Alright so here are my pairings and the skills they passed down to their children: Chrom x Fem!MyUnit; This one just kind of...happened. At the end of Chapter 11, apparently my Avatar had the highest supports with Chrom, so they got married. I didn't reset it cause it's my first time playing, so now I want to say I don't regret it. Children: Lucina- Chrom passes down Aether and Fem!MyUnit passes down Ignis. Male!Morgan- Chrom passes down Rightful King and Fem!MyUnit passes down Galeforce Fredrick x Sumia; This one was sort of based on personal opinion. Since Fem!MyUnit was with Chrom, Sumia had a romantic option cut out, leaving Fredrick, Gaius, and Henry. For some reason I didn't like Gaius and Henry's hair colors on her so I went with Fredrick (And I had plans to pair Henry with someone else). Plus, imo, the supports were super adorable. Also, I couldn't find anyone better to pair Fredrick with at the time. I heard it's the worst pairing for Sumia stat wise; is that true? Children: Cynthia- Fredrick passed down Aegis and Sumia passed down Galeforce Virion x Sully; This one was truly based on my opinion. As soon as I saw them in Chapter 1 with their hilarious dialogue, I wanted to pair them up. I don't know if this is a good pairing or not stat wise for Kjelle. It's one of my favorite couples in Fire Emblem: Awakening, but is the optimization for Kjelle really bad? Children: Kjelle- Virion passed down Bowbreaker and Sully passed down Aegis Stahl x Cordelia; For some reason, when I saw the two together do so well in battle, I wanted to pair them up. That wasn't a bad choice; I later found out Stahl is one of Severa's best fathers. I might keep this pairing, unless you guys think there are better couples for Stahl and Coredlia respectively. Children: Severa- Stahl passed down Aegis and Cordelia passed down Galeforce Vaike x Lissa; I had a hard time with this one. I found it super hard to find a good husband for Lissa. Her options were limited at the time, so I did some research. I found out Vaike was a pretty solid father for Owain, so I went with it. The supports helped with my decision as well. Are there better husbands for Lissa though? Children: Owain- Vaike passed down Counter and Lissa passed down Galeforce Donnel x Nowi; Found out this was one of the best pairings for Nowi since Donnel passes down Aptitude to make a super strong Nah. Plus, the two look cute together, and I found Nah's hair to match her red cloak quite nicely. Children: Nah- Donnel passed down Aptitude and Nowi passed down Swordbreaker (Nah also learned Lancebreaker once I made her a Griffon Rider) Lon'qu x Olivia; ...I seriously had no purpose with optimization for this pairing. I went with it because I thought it was super adorable. Both are quiet and quite awkward around other people (women for Lon'qu), so I thought it'd be cute if they both got married. Plus Inigo looked good with Lon'qu's hair color, and the supports were pretty good. This pairing isn't bad stat wise, is it? Children: Inigo- Lon'qu passed down Vantage (because I did NOT want to go through the whole Myrimdon line) and Olivia passed down Galeforce Ricken x Miriel; One of my last pairings. Since both are magic users, I figured they would make Laurent an even powerful mage. The supports helped a bit too, although I did this one mainly because of the high magic stat. Children: Laurent- Ricken passed down Lifetaker and Miriel passed down Dual Support+ Gaius x Panne; ...This is seriously the last pairing I created. It was either Gaius or Kellam. I went with Gaius because I didn't want him to be forever alone'd he has good speed and skill stats, which Taguels excel in. Supports were freaking hilarious. Is Gaius better with someone else? I heard he's one of the best fathers. (Although I really don't care about the Galeforce thing with Gaius...as you can see, most of my characters already have Galeforce) Children: Yarne- Gaius passed down Astra and Panne passed down Lethality. Gregor x Cherche; This pairing I just went with the flow. Gregor's hair color looked good on Gerome, and both parents have really good stats. Plus I heard Gregor was a great father for Gerome, which was even a bigger reason why I went with it! Children: Gerome- Gregor passed down Armsthrift and Cherche passed down Deliverer (so I can avoid the whole Griffon Rider line) Libra x Maribelle; Both have high magic stats as well as being healers. That's why I ended up making Brady into a Sage. Supports also showed Maribelle's kind side that some people don't seem to notice. Children: Brady- Libra passed down Lifetaker and Maribelle passed down Galeforce Henry x Tharja; Both are magic users (although I found out later on that Noire is an archer). I found it kind of hilarious to pair both dark mages up; it makes sense to why Noire is bipolar. I felt like this pairing wasn't as good optimization wise as I thought, but it wasn't really bad. Children: Noire- Henry passed down Lifetaker and Tharja passed down Vengence. Kellam got forever alone'd cause I'm mean. /Brick'd Children pairings don't matter to me right now, I really want to focus on first gen pairings. If you comment, thanks for helping! I really appreciate it. (Also sorry for the long explanation; I get carried away sometimes )

a playthrough actually possible, but you know the rules if i mess up, start over from the beginning, so yeah will actually be doing this one this time, but please tell me how to do the spoiler thing than chapter

My main character is a General, and has been for a while. I have always loved the tank builds/classes in RPGs, and so when I got tired of being a Great Knight, I decided to become a General. Almost everywhere I read, I see people griping about their movement and their weakness to magic, and I am here to clear some of this up. I am a level 20 General with all of my stats maxed-out. I started out with +DEF and -Luck. My equipped skills are: Sol (Never needed) Luna Locktouch Movement +1 Ignis Any enemy I run into almost always has a 0% chance of hitting me, and if they do hit me, I always take 0 damage. My move as a general is 8, which is equal to a Great Knight, all it took was the skill "Movement +1" and 1 "Boots" item. My max Resist is 37, I have never met a mage capable of inflicting any damage to me, at all. Their damage against me in a fight is always 0, with normally a 0-25% to hit. The only time I have taken damage as a General was against a Warrior Ruffian that was wielding a Hammer, and he hit me for 1 damage. So, to anyone who says Generals suck, please stop. Gernerals can be amazing, I am one. Stats: HP 80 Str 49 Mag 29 Skill 41 Spd 35 lck 44 Def 54 Res 37 Mov 8

So! Since I was able to StreetPass so many people, I thought it might be a good idea to see if anyone else had gone to the convention, and maybe find out who got each other's teams or something. Firstly, if anyone got a low-leveled, purple-haired Erk lookalike named Turks, that's my character. I'll hopefully be distributing my female Avatar, little poofy-pink-haired Valentine, tomorrow. I was able to acquire a LOT of StreetPass avatars; so many that it apparently filled up my StreetPass box all the way. [spoiler=My list of recruited StreetPass characters]Maxwell ♂ (Dread Fighter) Phantom ♂ (Dread Fighter) Saffron ♀ (Bride) Robin ♀ (Grandmaster) Amelie ♀ (Paladin) Hikaru ♂ (Dread Fighter) Trevor ♂ (Trickster) Michy ♀ (Dark Flier) Coquille ♀ (Assassin) Thomas ♂ (Grandmaster) Meryl ♀ (Grandmaster) Eden ♀ (Tactician) Dosio ♂ (Priest) Mark ♂ (Mercenary) Lynn ♀ (Hero) Jinn ♂ (Assassin) Mic ♂ (Dark Knight) Lightning ♀ (Grandmaster) Ramune ♀ (Grandmaster) Galatea ♀ (Grandmaster) Peter ♂ (Dread Fighter) Solanin ♂ (Grandmaster) Tureil ♀ (Grandmaster) DAVID ♂ (Trickster) Doryu ♂ (Dread Fighter) Ryan ♂ (Grandmaster) Starbuck ♀ (Grandmaster) Thomas ♂ (2)(Grandmaster) Shake ♂ (Myrmidon) Lilith ♀ (Grandmaster) Lily ♀ (Grandmaster) Enemis ♂ (Grandmaster) Peli ♀ (Grandmaster) Muse ♂ (Tactician) Embyr ♀ (Tactician) Jonny ♂ (Tactician) Jethro ♂ (Tactician) This list includes only the characters I decided to recruit. There were several more who I found redundant/uninteresting and either bought items from or just outright dismissed. I'd be interested in seeing if the creators of any of these characters are on SF; I'm sure at least a few of them are.

I'd like to hear feedback from everyone how I built my Nah. I wanted a more physical Nah, only because I was making my Morgan (which is Nah's daughter) more tank-like later on. Her father is Gaius. Here's her caps (with Limit Breaker): HP Str Mag Skl Spd Lck Def Res 80 53 46 47 46 55 53 53 And for her skill set I have (so far): Limit Breaker Astra Sol Swordbreaker Galeforce And of course she's a Manakete if you didn't already figure :P Thoughts? (be civil, people)

The FE:A board are going from OK to downward horrible. Those Cordelia haters and their topics have been really irritating me lately. they need to be banned and got their topics modded

Serenes Forest. I used to lurk in the old days; a time of peace where the Fire Emblem Awakening forums is still stable, albeit some sparks and wars. I decided to join, and I wasn't disappointed. But that was a long time ago. Everything changed when a cult called Galeforcers, the people who worships Galeforce, a special ability which allows you to grant an extra turn during battle, attacked. Formed by Olwen, they are trying to summon the embodiment of Galeforce. The deity was said to be not evil though; but it will bring doom to those who misuses their power. The Galeforcers wished to summon them to show the true power of the Galeforce. Some people surrendered to them, which includes bearclaw13, Zeem, and Constable Reggie. Worse, Constable Reggie named himself Constable Galeforce and took the lead of the Galeforcers, and bearclaw13 is a tragic victim since he's used to be a cool guy back then. Currently the effects are starting to hit GameFAQs, a place which have lost their glory long ago, and there is yet a hero who could stop them and return the balance again. But I haven't lost my hope yet. I believe that the storm would end soon, and said hero would stop the wars and return the peace of Serenes Forest(and perhaps GameFAQs too). I was bored
