Hm, you have a point there. I'll just have to play smarter. Well anyway:

Part 1 is rigged. All the unpromoted units die in 2-3 hits. And everyone sucks at dodging without supports. Good luck with part 1. By far the hardest part of the game.

Aran and Nolan say hello.

Thanks for catching that. And I would've done one for PoR myself but I left it back home.

So far I've been trying to keep him from killing enemies so the other members can get the experience.  Other than that not much to comment on.  He gets hit more often than I expected.

Hard Mode isn't as hard as it seems to be at first.

Some suggestions:

- Don't rush. Really, take your time. Don't mind that you will take 20 turns to finish a mission. The bonus exp you'll be getting isn't really worth it, you'll get more by killing. And you get some just by finishing the chapter anyway. Perfect example, Chapter 1-3. It's incredibly easy if you just use the 2 choke points at the starting point and wait for the reinforcements to come.

- In Part 1, use Laura. Every single turn if possible. The more levels she gets, the better. Play smart though, if you think she'll get targeted, get her to safety. She even has good growths. You can give her Shade if you don't plan on using Ilyana too.

- Keep a small team. If you can use about 10 (just an example) characters in the Dawn Brigade, just use 4 or 5 (And a healer). It's usually better to have 4-5 better units than 6-10 sub-par units. Following this example, it would Sothe, Micaiah & 2-3 units of your choice. Counting Laura as a healer that would be 5-6.

- Nolan is your tank for the first part. Even if you don't plan to use him. You get Sothe, but you'll need Nolan anyway, just to take more choke points.

- Be patient. As long as you don't rush, it's easy. I know, i'm repeating myself.

- It's logic, but count the range of your enemies.

- Give Micaiah a Seraph Robe. If lucky, she can actually survive an attack by one unit. Even if doubled. With her natural HP, speed and defense growth you can't expect her to survive without the extra 7 HP. I also gave her the Draco Shield Leonardo had. The 2 extra defense saved her a couple of times. Speedwings help her the most, but i think you only get one at the End Game of Part 1.

- Give Volug the Pure Water you get. He'll need it with all those fire mages lying around. Unless you don't want to use him of course, but he's kinda necessary in some chapters.

Can't think of anything else at the moment. Too sleepy. Good luck with your Hard Mode run. Once you are through with it you'll see it isn't anything too amazing.

Its impossible to win this game on Hard Mode!

It's very, very possible. In fact, it's pretty easy.

Don't mind that you will take 20 turns to finish a mission. The bonus exp you'll be getting isn't really worth it, you'll get more by killing.

I have to disagree on this. The bexp is really valuable on hard mode, but that's just me. I had to rush every chapter and I killed everything anyway.

Here's a tip: if you want to list your characters' stats, try using those code tags so that you can list them horizontally in a fixed width font. It'll save a lot of space that way.

Thanks for the tip. Anyways:

Part One: Chapter Five

Stage: A little rough, but once again the high ground helped me out.

Part One: Chapter Six

Stage: I don't wanna talk about it. I just don't.

I would highly suggest dumping Meg, Ilyana, and possibly Leonardo (only Possibly because yours is looking fairly good). Edward might be a good dump for Zihark as well. Don't dump Jill, but giving her the Energy Drop will be a big help for her. If you haven't planned out supports, I suggest ZiharkXNolan, JillXVolug, and LauraXwhoever is left. Also, do your best to get Laura promoted by 1-E and give her Paragon. Makes part 3 a hell of a lot easier.

Your Micaiah is pretty screwed up. Give her a Seraph Robe <-<

Yeah...about that...remember the enemy that suicided before I cold get the treasure? I'll give you three guesses on what the treasure was.

You gotta start cutting some people. You're going to be so screwed in part 3 if you keep this up. Part 3 is HARD with underleveled DB units.

I plan to. Don't worry.

Meg is pretty much dumped. I have high hopes for Ilyana (mainly for Rexbolt) and Leoardo's solid for me. As for Laura...not happening. I can tell you that now.

Don't Master Seal Nolan just yet. If you do, it seriously screws him over in Part 3. That's what happened to me, at least. Feel free to Master Seal Ilyana, though, she sucks.

Use Aran, if only to get another wall to help Zihark and Nolan, since you aren't using Sothe.

I'm probably gonna hold off on Master Seals until Part 3 anyway. And Aran's low attack speed (11 with a Iron Lance) is a bit of a problem for me.
