So I've been playing Awakening for quite some time, I've beaten the game on Hard several times with different Avatar builds and team pairings and such. But the only time I tried Lunatic, I got beat back really hard very early on, so I just derped around on Hard more. I was talking to some friends and they suggested I come to Serene's Forest for some help on planning my revenge on the true "hard" mode.
Essentially, I'd like to ask for your help in planning my team for my Lunatic run, and I'll be keeping a log of the run here as well.
The team I use the most in my Hard mode runs is this:
[spoiler=Main Team]
Chrom x Avatar (+mag/-str, tome-only build)
Vaike x Lissa
Stahl x Sully
Lon'qu x Cherche'
Libra x Tharja
Henry x Miriel
Gregor (bot) x Nowi
Morgan (tome-only just like mommy) x Lucina (siblings but still awesome)
I'm open to any ideas for other avatar builds, team members, marriage pairings and children builds. This team did not get me far on Lunatic, so I was hoping I can get wiser foresight here.
