[FE:A Advice - Starting Out on the Game]

How about you just follow the game and do what pairings you want and screw the "cannon" because in the end you make your own "cannon". Put whoever you feel works best for YOU.

On that note I am going to second Not_The_NSA with Olivia being one of Robin's worst wives.

Go for Lucina instead of Olivia it'll make F!Morgan stronger and Lucina'll benefit from M!Robin's support bonuses more than Olivia.

[Does Anybody still like Awakening more than Fates.]

I neglected to mention that I find Awakening to be the more enjoyable game for me because I'm more invested in the characters than what I've seen so far of Fates. And I doubt that will change even if I were to get Fates.

[ITT: Units that have always been RNG Screwed on previous playthroughs but have taken a shine for you recently.]

Chrom got RNG screwed in a MaMu run that I did (and didn't gain strength for a good few levels depsite that fact that he badly needed it) and Miriel was cursed on my current run.

[Redoing a Normal Awakening Run.]

So after what has been a lot of effort and though I have decided that for the sake of all that is holy I am going to update with another part of the playthrough. And Vaike is now a hero after much level growth and Maribelle growing a lot more as well. Brady won't be top of the pack like Lucina, but Severa will have her training partner at last. So yes I am going for Brady.

[spoiler=Chloey's Awakening Rules]Now I know that a lot of people who may or may not be following my plathrough will be asking questions. And I have some important answers for you all as well. A lot of people are probably guessing at classes etc but I'll lay it out here so we're all on the same page. This simply ties into my personal rules for Fire Emblem Awakening. Here is the list of rules that I have for myself I've found:

1~Only use a master seal once. Second seal as much as you like to get all base classes before going to a promoted class

2~Chrom and his wife take second and master seal priority, everyone else must wait

3~Achieve S-Rank as fast as possible

4~DO NOT MARRY CHROM TO SUMIA in any playthrough

5~Try not to have anyone (allies included) die

6~Anyone on spotpass who says "You'd better run!" must be fought and killed by the Avatar, Chrom, Lucina or Morgan.

7~Always marry MaMu to Lucina

8~DLC is your best friend

9~Always go cavalier for characters that can to pick up discipline

10~Everyone who can get galeforce must have said skill learnt/equiped

So this is how I playing currently. I will be doing a normal classic run in the future if and when I stop losing units on DLC, the main game and risen skirmishes (not happening unless I can improve). Then and only then will I go to hard mode...and that will be a different Chloey by that time. At least I hope so.

[spoiler=Story notes]So I have deicded that Brady will get pass and galeforce. Given that there was not straight answer and because a healer might need pass to escape their enemies, which of course can help them get saved in the long run.
Nice to see what fun I can have with those then

And now we have Brady added to the sheperhds

[Does Anybody still like Awakening more than Fates.]

I couldn't judge if I wanted to...

We're on the same page, when Fates comes out in europe it comes out in Aus. I think though that I prefer Awakening over Fates purely because I can have a female Grandmaster and the skills I like (save shadowgift but that's not really a point).

[The Pairing Thread]

I'd suggest Lucky Seven, myself. Brady has little need for Acrobat, and L7 is a nice skill to have on hand early on. There's little he can really get from Thief, Assassin, or Trickster other than that, so you can skip that entire line of classes.

Axefaire is also a decent choice--Vaike can get it very easily, and it's useful for all of Brady's (non-Thief) physically-oriented classes (Barb line, Fighter line, War Monk and Great Knight).

I was going to give Brady pass since I want to make sure that he's gone through all his class options (and I'd assume that Brady can get axefaire himself). I have decided on Vaike!Brady being a dread fighter to support Gregor!Severa as a hero. I hope that the stat bonus' are worth it.

[The Pairing Thread]

Renewal would be a good skill to pass down to Inigo since it's easily available to Libra and it saves Inigo from unnecessary reclassing into War Monk.

Something like that. I still have to work out Vaike!Brady though.

[The Pairing Thread]

Is pass a good skiil to hand down to Vaike!Brady? Or am I better giving Brady another skill? Also what should Libra give Inigo when I go for him?

[Awakening Birthday Thread!]

*pulls head out of flowers*

That's the LAST time I suggest Cynthia and Owain decorate the barracks for a surprise party for Lucina's birthday...

Oh on not you too! We took HOURS to clean up after Cynthia and Owain as well. Also Lissa added to the chaos...

[The Pairing Thread]

@ chloey and @ nsa

thanks for the input guys!

You're welcome glad I could help you.

For the sake of class options for Libra!Inigo what is the best finishing class for him?

[The Pairing Thread]

I see. Well that certainly makes more sense than I thought it did.

[The Pairing Thread]

@graves Libra!Inigo > Fred!Inigo

Asset/Flaw: +Spd/-Def since it looks like you're going to grind ad nauseum to get all the kids so -Def doesn't matter, especialy since Male Robin is hard support (aka not in the front) for the gale girls.

And meh, if you're grinding and only plan to crush Lunatic/Classic with DLC, I assume, then you can run whatever classes you want.

@silentchloey Grandmaster has great S-rank bonuses.

And doubtless strength would be wasted though. Still that is an option I can consider.

[What if the Pegasus Knight wasn't gender locked?]

Galeforce would be more abused than Noire in the future. Literally EVERY unit would have it.

I doubt that every unit would have it there are some main male units that don't pass down the pegasus knight line to their daughters at all (Frederick, Henry, Vaike and Gregor for example) and not every team would have that much galeforce...at least I don't think that they would. Mostly I'd have Chrom, Male Morgan and Male Robin have it because they would likely need it to keep up with the girls. Other than that I think it would be fun to see who would and who wouldn't be a pegasus knight (if it's not gender locked).

From a story perspective it would mean that there are men and women who were pegasus knights and that would be awesome!

ETA:

But yes having an entire team of Galeforce users would be very OP

[The Pairing Thread]

ok, in total disregard to my previous posts, i will be running a lunatic / classic

my planned pairs are:

sumia x chrom

sully x donnel

tharja x gaius

lissa x ricken

miriel x gregr

olivia x frederick

panne x stahl

cordelia x lon'qu

maribelle x virion

nowi x vaike

cherche x henry

i'm probably going to marry lucina as a mamu, but what should my asset/flaw be? also, what should be the end classes/skills for the children?

Here's the asset and Flaws I used for one of my MaMu runs that might be able to help here:

+mag -str

I did that on a Chrom x Maribelle run but it should work just as well as Chrom x Sumia if you're going that way.

Also looking to pair off my Chrom!Morgan (+def -lck) to Henry!Noire (Sorcercer/Sniper) What class would be the best support for her? (I'm thinking of going magical with both kids btw)

[Happiest and saddest epilogue?]

I'd say that one of the best epilogues is Chrom X F!Robin:

"Many wrote of Robin's legendary expoilts, but accounts of her origins and character varied. Scholars, poets and bards agreed on one thing alone- she loved her husband, Chrom, above all else"

Henry's is for me one of the sadest if he's not married so I always get him hitched if I can.

[What if the Pegasus Knight wasn't gender locked?]

then awakening would be more of a clusterfuck than it already is

Even with the limit of the guys that can be pegasus knights for your main army? Still though it makes for an interesting lot of fun though.

[Awakening Birthday Thread!]

Happy birthday Lucina! I hope that you like your new thoron tome

[Do you like chrom?]

Is there a "worship" button?

*laughs* Well I guess it's fair to say that even though I married him I am not that obsessed . That said I do like Chrom and prefer to marry him hands down if I'm doing an F!Robin run. MaMu's not as fun but at least they are really good friends.

[What if the Pegasus Knight wasn't gender locked?]

What if the Pegasus knight class wasn't gender locked but instead avaliable to certain characters (Chrom, Robin {M + F}, Donnel, Gaius, Maribelle, Lissa, Emmeryn, Cordelia, Aversa, Sumia and street pass characters/bonus map characters)? How would that change skill sets (if at all)?

[Redoing a Normal Awakening Run.]

Side Story 13

Well I hope that my last post had the hints needed to see this one coming. Wool is of course another word for yarn...and who do we have here but Yarne...ok joking aside this will be about as fun as we can make it. This is also the chapter where galeforce, lots of movement and Chloey with her dread fighter husband tome weilding Chrom will actually have some fun. Did I mention that Chrom can use tomes? I wonder what he'd be like with galeforce?

Anyway we have to deal with a couple of issues:

1. I need to get Chrom as close to Yarne as quickly as possible so that we can just talk to him. And gain a bunny on our side

2. Chloey is all out of Mire shenanigans so I'll have to get some more as quickly as I can!

Aside from that today is a good day to get Yarne and fingers crossed he won't die on me!

In other news Morgan has someone he can S-Support with...but I think I'd rather that he stay friends with this one. I'm going for a different Morgan pairing, one that I used in my first playthrough.

Side Story 5...

[spoiler=Chapter Notes]This opens up with Lissa and Lucina having a polite chat about Lissa being "around" in Lucina's future. Lissa asks what she's like and Lucina says that Lissa was warm and kind despite the dark times that they lived in. Lucina adds that Lissa's smile was a beacon of hope for others around her. Lissa states that she'd better get to work if she wants to live up to that. She then asks if she has any children and Lucina reveals that she has a son named Owain. Lissa thinks that's cute and asks Lucina what "Owain" is like. Lucina's expression here is more than enough to convince me that what "Owain" is like is either not something she wants to think about or that he's different and she doesn't know how best to cope with that difference. Lissa then goes to ask something else but then decides that it's best for her not to know.

Of course there are bandits and lo and behold there is a strange guy with Lon'qu coloured hair running around and fighting them! One goes down and then the other...well not so much. But we do find out that the young man is none other than Owain, so I guess that he seems to be alright. Of course Chrom and Chloey both look a little confused about the situation and so I would be too!

So now onto Side Story 10. Severa here we come.

[spoiler=Chapter notes]So the shepherds are arriving in what is a little island not too far from Plegia's coast that is actually a sizible island. No idea who lives there, but it is clear that all hell will be breaing loose soon. We see that the villagers that live on said island are struggling. Chrom arrives just as the word Valmese is mentioned and asks the men what they were talking about. Of course the younger of the two asks who Chrom is and he responds as calmly as he can. The men have a little chat and Chrom offers to help them, which the leader offers thanks for.

We then cut to the person in question. Nelson is just a nasty piece of work and to be quite the idiot. Not sure who I'll have to end his miserable existance, but for script's sake I think Chrom should be the one to take this man out. Capped Chrom makes for some real fun and games

[spoiler=Post Map Notes]With all that Chloey and Chrom won the map which was a nice change of pace. 10 Turns though trying to let Severa to talk to Holland was a bit tedious, but worth it in the end. Given that now I've finished this map I suppose that means you'll have to tune in for the glorious hero of light who has travelled through time and space to join our legion of mighty warriors or the stern healer with a heart of gold...*laughs* we'll see how I go!

So that is the end of the chapter. For those who have been wonding what I've been doing I think it's only fair to give the run down. Most of this has been growing my units to the point of around 170 hours (at least by my guess) worth of grinding and leveling up with roughly 4 hours of pure story game play (again guessing). As to how I got that number, well DLC certainly is the use here. I have a rule that I grow units to about level 10 for those base classes before using a single master seal (although I'ved used more than that on Chloey) on their last base class to the bottom most class of their promotion list. Using Sumia as an example:

Sumia has the knight and cleric reclass options. I reclassed her into a knight then a cleric. So when it came time to use a master seal on her I reclassed into the war cleric first, then reclassed into the sage class. Of course I reclassed Sumia into her other options saving her pegasus rider promotions for last (Falcon Knight being the first class that I put Sumia into before her final reclass into a dark flier), so I hope that explains what I've been up to since completing Nah's side story. And how I've been able to rack up those hours as well!!

Of course I misspelled the Kaleb I bought :/ Sorry everyone!

[The Pairing Thread]

You're spreading a lot of misinformation:

-Gerome can never inherit Galeforce. I thought you it was a mistypo, but you actually believe Male Robin passes Peg Knight lmao. Male Robin, Gerome, Yarne, and Laurent can never learn/inherit Galeforce without hacking.

-Fred/Kellam!Gerome is bad because he doesn't contribute in Apo. If you have bad kids (Kellam!Nah, Fred!Gerome, Donnel!Owain, etc) just bench them and deploy more Rallybots/Rescuebots. You should only be deploying good units, bots, and Olivia. Fred!Gerome isn't valid, he sucks with average bonuses and no Axefaire to increase his attack. He's only high on the OUTDATED UNOFFICIAL gamefaqs list because some trolls tried very hard to get Donnel!Owain and Fred!Gerome to S and Lucina to F.

It's more efficient to pair Libra and Olivia and deploy a Rallybot/Rescuebot then it's to compromise Inigo and Gerome and failing at both.

-Your opinion is wrong. Magic > sword Inigo if your pairings allow it and magic is overpowered in Awakening.

-Again, misinfo. Luna is slightly better on the Galeforce units in the back and Vengeance is slightly better on the Galeforce unit in the front. Also, Severa doesn't need Luna when she has access to Vengeance

Not everyone is perfect, I'm sure that depending on how you look at it, those pairs are viable; just not in the sense of apo.

That said here is what I would make of it:

Frederick is not as good a father for Gerome because of some classes overlap with Cherche and Kellam is better for the bench as we well know. MaMu is Gerome's best father but I don't like a pink/red haired Morgan, so I wouldn't do that pairing. I guess from what I understand it is better for Gerome to have access to classes that improve his strength. In the end though I always go for Virion because bowbreaker on Wyvern Lord is something that I need.
