I'm actually on my 3rd play through on fire emblem the sacred stone (on hard). First thing you have to know is in (almost?) every game boy advance fire emblem game, they have a support feature. Every character has a different amount of support requirements that need to be done each to gain a support. They do stack up though but the character must be next to each other to count. (Unknown if movement is required each turn to gain a support nor any other factors have been tested yet). There is a wikia site that can help you more on what to expect as well as the secret shop locations and strategies for defeating bosses. Feel free to google it. (If you like, I can send you a link on what I recommend using for help.) As far as I know, there is no known amount of support points needed with each character (besides Garcia and Ross for rank C).

Although, I know that Gunter really sucks right now, he's like the only decent axe user I have right now. I only got this game like a week ago but I've played fire emblem since the game boy advance auditions came out. Although the strategy for this game is a little different and less flexible, I still enjoy collecting heroes and leveling them up. i just recently got Ephraim (actually got 2 of him in the same summoning). If anyone wants to know his tactics, feel free to let me know. The only down side I have with him is his resistance, so just be cautious when trying to get in range against multiple magic users. Anymore info you can reply or send me a message. I'm already off topic. My point is, later on I might add Ephram as an alt since he can be very good at taking advantage in combat when enemies are close by.
