Yeah I was leaning towards a promotion, thanks for the advice.
Anyways, time for a turn count update!
Chapter 5x - 7/46 turns
Chapter 6 - 6/52 turns
Chapter 7 - 10/62 turns
Wow, this level is a pain without a mounted unit...but I'm kinda getting used to that by now
Chapter 8 - 10/72 turns
Finally some useful units I can use, too bad they don't really help with the turn count in this chapter because they start so far away. Also, I messed up because I forgot you couldn't shop before this chapter, so Artur didn't have alot of lightning left and I almost had to solo the whole thing with Eirika D:
Chapter 9 - 13/85 turns
Went Eirika's route, now I get the rest of my units early. Kyle is still kinda weak so this chapter took a while even with a cavalier, hopefully promoting him will speed things up. Also got Artur to 20 but unfortunately I missed the first guiding ring, So I have to wait till I clear next chapter before I can promote him.
