Well you could try my nearly finished main Chloey (Lethality, Galeforce, Ignus, Renewal and last but not least Lifetaker) Sorcercer +Def -Lck (once I of course get her to that point) this is by no means a final build and is subject to change
-
The painful sections are sort-of split up. Here's the general flow:
- Prologue-Chapter 5: You get a lot of units, and not much time to train them. It's going to be rough.
- Chapter 6-10: You get a breather here. If everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is near-unusable, level up Panne and Second Seal her at 10 to Wyvern Rider (and maybe use an Arms Scroll to give her Hand Axes). That should break Plegia in half.
- Chapter 11: Two speedy units, paired up, should be able to take on Gangrel and not die immediately. From there, it's learning how to manage the reinforcements. You should have another Rescue staff at your disposal, so if necessary, use it to fish people out of danger!
- Chapter 12: This chapter will force you to check the ranges on everything, constantly. It's a good habit to get into. As long as you don't aggro the entire map on turn 1, you should be fine!
- Chapter 13: You can either aim for the one-turn clear or dawdle around and give Chrom/his wife enough experience so that Lucina is all the more beastly. If Robin's the mom, I strongly suggest passing down Veteran, so that Lucina can surpass everyone as fast as possible.
- Chapter 14-16: The difficulty is centered around ranges, and figuring out how much punishment your guys can take. If you must, burn a Rescue charge to get Say'ri out of danger. She makes a good back row unit, due to her class and bases.
- Chapter 17: This WILL be a difficulty spike. For best results, have everyone rush to the left. Grab the Boots before offing the boss.
- Chapter 18-20: Another round of ranged finagling. Of these chapters, you want to spend the least amount of time on Chapter 19, due to the reinforcement pattern.
- Chapter 21: This is an assassination mission, and your goal is to blick the boss ASAP. You'll most likely have to do this in parts, because getting the entire map mad at you usually does not end well. As long as you keep moving, the Mire reinforcements shouldn't be too much of an issue.
- Chapter 22: Unless you have the stamina to take everyone out, run straight to the boss and blick her. If you must stop for a weapon, I'd go with Helswath.
- Chapter 23-24: These two are a gigantic pain in the neck, so keep an eye on enemy ranges and do your best to blick the boss!
- Chapter 25: A flying unit with not-terrible offense should be able to make a beeline to the boss. Don't stick around for too long, because the reinforcements will overwhelm you.
- Endgame: One of Chrom/Lucina (with their respective Falchions) can pair up with someone with a Brave weapon/Celica's Gale and go to town. If you have a second pair, have both of them wield Brave weapons/Celica's Gale. Why no Waste? It's too inaccurate. Anyway, don't spend more than two turns here. Olivia/several rescuebots will prove helpful. So does Basilio and Rally Strength!
Hope this helps~!
I am going to save this to my tacticial notes immediately! I think it will come in handy that and some serious DLC grinding to try to get everyone up to speed (EXP Growth and Golden Gaffe are my best growth maps. And I am familiar with them enough to make it work)

Alright, here's some Actual Strategy you can use:
Prologue-Chapter 1: If you're dead-set on having Robin get kills, pair her up with Frederick. He gives a nice defense boost, and some extra mobility, so that you can get Robin out of danger. She, in turn, should gain a good amount of levels. If possible, feed Chrom a kill or three (preferably on the Prologue). If you want a detailed strategy for these chapters, let me know~!
Chapter 2: Give Frederick the Bronze Sword, so he can take on the enemies and hopefully keep them alive at a sliver of health. Once you get Miriel, use her to snipe at annoying enemies. Stahl/Sully work as support units, because they give some defense on pair-up.
Chapter 3: As soon as you recruit Kellam, have him pair up with someone who'll be in combat, and needs the extra bulk. If Frederick has 14 Speed, he can double the archers with Kellam's Javelin. Once you clear out Kellam's side, you should be able to slowly bait the other side (send Frederick into range of ONE enemy). From there, open the door, and aggro the enemies one at a time (two or three might rush you, but by now, Robin should be able to tank something). Have Robin with a sword or Chrom take on the Hammer dude.
Chapter 4: Have Frederick use Kellam's Javelin, and pair him up with Chrom on one side. On the other side, have Robin pair up with Kellam (if you need defense), Sumia (if you need speed), or Miriel (if you want to nuke things with magic).
Paralogue 1: GET THE RESCUE STAFF! It makes Chapter 5 a lot easier. Use this paralogue to train up Chrom, so that he can do a better job of supporting Robin. To get Donnel, have him kill the archer in the treasure room, and one of the two archers in the boss area (have someone competent like Frederick bait them). Bring Lissa along, and have her gain as much Magic as possible!
Chapter 5: Have Ricken and Maribelle pair up and run directly south. If Lissa can't reach them with the Rescue staff, have her pair up with Miriel. Once you get them off the mountain, this map becomes an exercise in waiting.
I'll keep that in mind when I get to hard mode again. If I can get through a normal without losses. I find that the worst chapters are the ones where others are grossly under levelled usually.

Depends, honestly.
Postgame!Brady obviously is always great, but if he's worth for you ingame is a different matter.
Are his bases (kind of) good? Do you need another healer or would you rather get someone tanky to strengthen your frontline? Or, if you want to replace one of your current staffers with him, how urgently do you need their current advantage in form of better weapon ranks/stats/supports instead of his superior growth potential?
Anyways, if you decide to use him, one of his main starting problems is that hes has only D rank in staffs and nothing else really. Some people therefore reclass him into Cavalier for Discipline, but you can also just train him up in the back and then work on some offensive ranks when he promotes, which is probably the safer option.
Usually when I go for the children characters I like to have their parents as close to capped stats as possible. I will most definately be giving Brady Galeforce. That is a no brainer. I am not sure if I will need a healer (although given how much I baby my units giving him a rescue staff will get him up to C Rank in no time as well as a level) it will heavily depend on where I am at, More than likely though I will need a healer if Maribelle, Lissa, Libra and Anna are in the thick of training (and are not in classes that have use of staves or are going to be relcassed into stave wielding classes).
-
I'm not sure what to do with Chrom!Brady. Should I bench him or try to train him up?
-
I dunno if you want some further advice, but I'll just write down some possibly helpful stuff that comes to my mind:
Always activate the big pink enemy range marker in order to immediately see safe spots for your healers/squishies. If you notice other especially dangerous enemies around (moving bosses, bow users or wind mages near your fliers...), add an extra personal range marker for them (the red one).
It's also generally useful if you look at some of the enemy stats before you actually start the battle.
Comparing speed values can be pretty nice for planning your approach of the map, and you can always do a quick estimation of a character's defensive power (enemy attack - your Def/Res) before plopping him/her into the range of multiple enemies.
These two stategies are probably the most important ones around, cause if you always check how many enemies can do how much damage to one of your units before you place them, your troups should be pretty much safe from landing in a deadly situation.
Additionally, utilize the time that you get when the opponents don't rush you to heal your team before continuing to fight.
Abuse the weapon triangle/surrounding terrain (if possible), and also remember that you can clog up the area around a vulnerable unit with other characters to protect it or hide the person behind someone else through pair up. Pair up in general is pretty strong as a mechanic as well.
The best way to get better is practice though, so just continue to play a bit more and you'll notice yourself improving with time anyways.
*sighs* I suppose that is all I can do D: I do have a playthrough that I am posting(F!Robin), so we'll see if that works any better than my M!Robin one.
-
Don't worry too much about it if this is your first FE. FE has a learning curve. I'd recommend religiously checking enemy range and not letting your units take on too much at a time unless they're seriously overlevelled.
Even with that I still end up losing them...I haven't yet in my current F!Robin Normal run, but I haven't even got to the difficult chapters yet. At least not the ones that give me the most trouble.
-
It isn't, though. +def is pretty overkill on hard. +spd IS a good earlygame asset as well as a a great lategame asset. Being #2 earlygame asset is still very good. When I said I felt my earlygame got easier with +spd, I meant that in context of Lunatic, too. If it's capable of being a relatively easy asset, only losing to def and winning against pretty much everything else (arguably +hp?) on Lunatic earlygame, it should be one of the best on hard.
For hard mode, positioning matters a lot more than your initial asset/flaw. You need to work on that instead of worrying about asset flaw, as far as hard mode goes.
Yeah and I stuffed it up big time :/ I'm probably the worst player that there is if I can't even get through Normal without losing a unit.
-
In the end offensive mods usually win against defensive mods, as long as it's not incredibly terrible defense (Apo even lets you get away with that if you max out to cap) Having a very high +str/mag/spd and adequate def is usually better than high def but mediocre offense.
+4 is good, but it's not super great on a defensive stat esp if that's your best stat. On FeMU I run Berserker!Basilio!Morgan with +str/-res and that gives +8str alongside +4def, for example. If you want Chrom as a husband, +6 is the highest mod you'll get on your Morgan, and I'd recommend either str or spd for that.
+spd is still the second best earlygame asset with a better endgame. What +spd does is lets you double early, so your offensive capabilities raises significantly. I ran +spd once and got fast enough to double in chapter 1 after a pairup, which made chapter 1 feel significantly easier than when I ran it first time with +str (my personal favorite build)
Like I said it was a strategical error to go into hard mode with +Spd. I should have tried Normal first to see if it was workable or not.
-
There was a guy not too long ago who used a +HP/-Lck Chrom!Morgan. Despite having exactly the same mod total as any other Chrom!Morgan (or a Cord!Morgan, for that matter), he managed to have not a single one of Morgans mods greater than +2. Lack of a weakness isn't a strength when also coupled with lack of a strength.
So then how in the world does a +def -lck Robin make a +4 def Morgan? Wouldn't that count for something as being a strength?
+Spd is a really good asset though. Being able to double stuff for securing KOes is really helpful for stopping yourself from being mobbed.
Testing strats for higher difficulties on lower ones doesn't work, though. You're almost guaranteed to get blindsided by something that's not present lower down that you didn't prepare for- always test your strats on the difficulties you want to use them on, and if things get too rocky, reset and tweak your strat a little.
I think it was more of a strategical error on my part. That and I figured that +spd would actually help in those first chapters. I guess I should stick to +def instead, at least then the bad guys will do less damage.
-
I've always seen Lissa [in lunatic] useful. Of course, I use Heal too often, especially before chapter 5. I try to add Maribelle, but I find it difficult to do so...
I manage to use both Lissa and Maribelle to the point that I swear that I am actually babying my units.
-
Well the problem is that the priest doesn't have good caps or bases, so even if he has good growths and such, he's limited just a bit by what he can do.
That too, which is why I second seal the guy as soon as I get him into something else. Grow him a bit in his other class options (much like Maribelle) and then end him as a promoted healer. Funnily enough I haven't maxed him out yet (damn accidental deleting of files!).
-
I thought Brady is notorious for starting out with crappy bases, putting aside is great potential.
What sort of level is Maribelle at when Brady is being recuited? If she hasn't done that much then sure, Brady will be crap. Based on what I read, the child stats are worked out as (Mother's Current Stats-Mother's Base Stats) + (Father's Current Stats-Father's Base stats) + the child's absoulte base stats divided by 3. That total is then added to the child's stats. Ugh I hate math and just looking at the formula to work that out is making my head pound. Generally I have Maribelle near capping (like most of the parents) before I get the kids. Well except Lucina but that is because we get her in the story. So I usually have to second seal/master seal Brady when I get him.
-
May favourite Chrom one is his critical hit "Now I'm angry!"
That and Henry's "I'm going to kill you!"
Level up quotes I like Henry's "I’m a hex of a lot stronger now. GET IT?"
-
I guess that bad luck is not the best thing. However I do actually manage to make Maribelle and Lissa work for Normal so I don't see them as bad units. There is no bad unit per say, just the under levelled, or under grown. Your Maribelle needs a bit of time growing in some other classes (Mage and Pegasus Knight lines) to get her growing. After that she can handle pretty much anything. Same goes with Lissa as well. They can be underwhelming to begin with I know. You really need time with them...and DLC because DLC helps.
-
I suppose that the Mire Sorcs are a pain. I didn't think too much of it on normal though...and I'm only good at normal so *cries*
-
Both are fine, depends if you want more magic or more movement. She's going to go through Sage to pick up Tomefaire anyway.
I was thinking more movement I guess, although Tomefaire is nice to have as well.
-
Is Sage Maribelle!Lucina any good? Or should I run her as a Dark Flier?
-
Did you have the tutorials on? If you turn them off, Pair-Up is available immediately.
I believe that I had them turned on. I must have really, really bad luck. Now that I think about it my strategy might not have been the best (+spd -luk avatar) I sould have tried it playing normal first before dipping into hard mode.
-
There's a transcript here, if you're impatient. Sumia #confirmed for Scooby-Doo villain.
The Scramble maps aren't too hard, but since the whole point of them is conversation between your units, if you want to prepare, prepare everyone. Robin only has a small handful of convos themself.
I know that there is one between F!Rboin and Chrom if they're married (I haven't done that yet and am saving that for the LP I'm doing). I believe that there is also one with the young dark mage that I will be avoiding like crazy...(Tharja I am looking at you). I am surprised that Sumia is so...Yandere O.o but that could make for an interesting story...
-
Well, it is a trope...
PSA for anyone who's not joking: this is Serenesforest, shippers never win arguments here.
And now we must leave the fun for more serious matters D:
Since this is such a common glitch did anyone actually name it at all or is the Sumia Glitch fine?
I kinda thought of it as a semi debatable lable at best. Especially since it does only happen when you have the Marribelle Chrom pairing. Not that I am complaining, it is now that I think about it rather funny.Also what is this I hear about Sumia in summer scramble? I will obviously have to play the map to find out (once I get little Chloey to OP levels *cough Galeforce cough*). Is it a case of a specific conversation? I do vaguely remember something about Miriel wanting to see if Sumia tripping up was an act, but somehow I don't think it is.
-
you...were joking? Good gods, love, you really do need a joke font or something. Cuz that really sounded like some serious ship to ship combat speech.
rofl I don't know why but you just made my day! Yeah I tend to joke a lot. Serious is only when I mean it that way (and have emotes in there as well
) -
Sweetie, shes kinda pointing out that you are taking the shipping aspect way too seriously. And putting other Chrom's potential wives down for a validation of your ship. At least thats kinda how it reads from over here. Also shes pointing out that the support with Female Robin and Chrom is actually really bad. (cuz it is) You are taking that whole business wayyy too seriously. Just relax.
D: Why do people miss my jokes. I said I wasn't being serious! Well except about hating the C-A Supports that is Chrom x F!Robin.
-
Just a quick general game update because I can. Given that Christmas is soon upon me, I will have to work out how best to share this playthrough with you all. Game play wise it's all good. I don't think that I have managed to S-Support yet as I am saving it for the next chapter, which will be chapter 5. The Plegians of course. We got several level ups as well (Sumia my goodness you are keen to beat Cordelia at something aren't you) and I am saving a bit of gold up for the second seals/master seals. Chloey will of course be the game breaker because I need a couple of reclasses before we pick up Morgan (and Lucina opps). That and I'll be working on some behind the scenes fun. So sit tight, and I'll keep you updated.
[spoiler=Some of the fun of DLC]
Chloey gained two levels and can S-Support with Chrom,
Lovely Lissa hasn't gained any levels, but has had her first support with Lon'qu
Lon'qu has gained 3 levels since joining us
Stahl and Sully can marry
Sumia and Frederick are close to an A
We need Ricken before Miriel marries someone else!
