This will be a playthrough of awakening on lunatic.

Pick my units and pairings. You can pick anyone that doesn't come too late or is Donnel. I'm going to use Avatar, Chrom, Sully and Lissa plus anyone who gets more then 2 votes in the poll. Avatar is male, +def, -luck. I'll use 10 1st gen units and possible some 2nd gen units. We'll see once we get there.

[spoiler=The Team]

-Avatar

-Chrom

-Sully

-Lissa

-Cordelia

-Gregor

-Nowi

-Henry

-Virion

[spoiler=Pairings]

Avatar x Tiki

Chrom x Sully

Lissa x Henry

Virion x Nowi

Cordelia x Gregor

[spoiler=Prologue] Prologue

Avatar wakes up in a field and sees Chrom and Lissa. Suddenly, Fred comes and starts screaming at Chrom and Lissa about stranger danger and stuff. Avatar freaks out, thinking Fred is an enemy and attempts to stab him with a bronze sword. Luckily, Fred is so overpowered that he takes no damage. Fred gets really mad. Wanting to cheer Fred up, Chrom and Lissa find Fred some bandits to kill. Avatar wants to help, so he runs into the middle of the battlefield, irritating Fred, who vents his anger by decapitating the bandits.

First I reset until none of the mages had Magic+2.

On the first turn, I had Chrom run to the right with his Falchion equipped so he was only in the right Myrmidon's range. Fred sat beside the Myrmidon (the one near the barbarians). Lissa paired up with Avatar and they sat in one of the safe spots.

On the enemy phase, the Myrmidon killed himself attacking Fred. The Barbarians got to really low HP. The Myrmidon near Chrom attacked Chrom. The Mage went towards Fred and the Barbarians.

On the player phase Fred paired up with Chrom so Chrom has enough attack to brutally murder the Myrmidon. Avatar (Lissa) walked up to the closest Barbarian and killed him with the Bronze Sword.

On the enemy phase the remaining Barbarian attacked Avatar (Lissa) and died. The mage went closer to my units.

On the player phase I had Chrom (Fred) switch to Fred (Chrom) and had them sit at the left part of the map, as far up as possible. Avatar (Lissa) sat beside Fred (Chrom) and switched to Lissa (Avatar). Lissa healed Fred. Also Avatar gave Fred his bronze sword.

On the enemy phase the mage attacked Lissa.

On the player phase Lissa (Avatar) runs out of the way and Fred attacks the mage with the bronze sword.

On the enemy phase the mage attacked Fred.

On the player phase I switched to Chrom (Fred) and stabbed the mage to death.

After that, everyone separated to get healed by Lissa. I got a superior axe from the sparkly tile. Too bad nobody can use it. :( Then I paired up Fred (Lissa) and Chrom (Avatar). They all went to the right area of the map. Next, I had Fred equip the bronze sword and sit so he was only in the rightmost Myrmidon's range. Chrom stayed out of the enemy's range.

On the enemy phase the enemies all moved down, The Myrmidon attacked Fred and was left with very little HP.

On the player phase I moved Chrom (Avatar) so they were in only the wounded Myrmidon's range. I moved Fred (Lissa) so they were out of the Mage and wounded Myrmidon's range but still in some of the other enemies range.

On the enemy phase the enemies in Fred's range (a barbarian and a myrmidon) attacked Fred. The wounded Myrmidon killed himself attacking Chrom. The mage and other Barbarian went to attack Chrom (Avatar). I don't remember exactly what happened after that, but I know that Fred killed the myrmidon near him and possible the barbarian too. Chrom and Avatar used a lot of switching and eating vulneraries to kill the Barbarian and Mage.

After that, I used Lissa to heal everyone. Avatar got some weapon experience from the remaining sparkly tile. Fred (Lissa) attacked the boss on the player phase. On the enemy phase, the boss attacked them. Fred was at 2 hp, so I finished off the boss with Chrom (Avatar).

I had 20 heal staff and 27 Silver Lance uses left. Chrom was level 3.10, Avatar was level 3.14, Lissa was level 2.70, and Fred was level 1.60.

I'll add a stat table when I find out how.

[spoiler=Chapter 1]

Chapter 1

Chrom and Lissa walk into a forest and it sets on fire. Fred tries to blame it on Avatar, saying his thunder tome caused the fire. Chrom and Lissa start crying about how Fred is being a jerk. Fred gets mad and vents his anger by murdering some risen.

I don't have much to say about this chapter because it was really easy so I didn't need to think too much.

Player Phase: I had Fred (Chrom) sit on the north fort. Chrom unequipped his falchion and Fred equipped his bronze sword. Avatar and Lissa go to where Sully and Virion will appear.

Enemy Phase: A Myrmidon and a Fighter get to low HP by attacking Fred (Chrom).

Player Phase: Sully and Virion appear. Avatar pairs up with Sully and Lissa pairs up with Virion. Sully (Avatar) sits in the range of a fighter who has 1 HP thanks to Fred. Fred (Chrom) switches to Chrom (Fred) and kills the Myrmidon.

After that, Chrom (Fred) just killed a bunch of guys (I was able to feed some kills to some of my other units while Chrom (Fred) weakened them) until only the boss and an archer were left.

I used Avatar (Sully) to attract the archer.

On the enemy phase, the archer attacked Avatar (Sully) and got hit by Avatar's thunder tome. After that, I used Avatar (Sully) to go to 1 range and attack again. I think Virion finished them off, but I wasn't really paying attention.

Meanwhile, Chrom (Fred) switched to Fred (Chrom) and hit the boss with a bronze sword. Then the boss attacked Fred. Then I used the bronze sword to lower the boss's HP again.

My other units got the sparkly tile things (Celica's Gale (!!!!!!) and a slack bow)

Then Avatar killed the boss with thunder.

Sorry this wasn't very descriptive, I'll make the next chapter better.

Someone said it before me.

I also vote for Gaius! I dunno who to pair him up with, but.. candy man!!

[Redwall]

Cherche + Lon'qu

[1234567890]

I made a poll, vote for the person you want there. Also I won't do Chrom x Olivia because I don't want to have to dance her for an hour, I want to hopefully have Chrom married by then, she's weak (unless I dance her for an hour), I don't want to have to make sure nobody else has a c support with Chrom for 11 chapters, and I don't like her. I'll use her just as a dancer though.

[Interceptor]

Poll is broken, makes us vote for both. Change it up or add two nil options.

[1234567890]

I'll make it so you can vote for multiple choices but put "only vote for 2" in the title

[shadowofchaos]

Now, considering how this is Lunatic Mode, this is understandable.

But geez people, so much hate.

FYI, no mention of Rhubarb or Pie in the Japanese version. She actually knows how to FREAKING COOK.

But geez people, so much hate.

I personally like Sumia.

Also...I kind of find it funny that Chrom's expression in that image isn't...softer. XD I don't know what it is. Overblown confidence, maybe?

[1234567890]

I did the (premonition and the) Prologue because it won't matter what units I'm using while I do them. I'll do a bit more once I find out the pairings, who I'm using, etc.

Shadowofchaos, If Sumia and Chrom don't eat pie in their Japanese support, what do they do?

Also don't be mean to Sumia, people who are being mean to Sumia. :(

Maybe you should've made the poll public. Anyway, as to my last post, I voted Cordelia and Gregor. I'm anticipating when you get to chapter 2, I got really hung up there and ended up quitting at that point.

also omg so many levels in prologue

To make stat tables, use the [ code ] formatting. Type up your stuff as spaced as you want it in a notepad document, then just copy it right in to [ code ] boxes [ /code ], without the spaces, naturally.

Pie-er Emblem: A-bake-ening is strictly unique to the localizations for countries outside Japan.

She makes bentos. As in she actually knows how to cook.

I have a Lunatic file at about chapter 16 so I've beaten chapter 2 before (although I did have to sacrifice Virion, Vaike, Miriel and Stahl). Hopefully I can do it again.

Thanks, I'll add my stats soon.

How many pie supports are there? I've only seen Sumia x Chrom, but I've heard that there's more.

Anyways, these are the characters I'll be using:

-Avatar

-Chrom

-Sully

-Lissa

-Cordelia

-Gregor

-Nowi

-Henry

-Tiki

-Virion

Anyone want to help me deciding the pairings/pairups?

[Darros]

Pair Cordelia and Gregor! Though I've said that twice already.. If you're doing so you might as well use Severa if it's doable ((like I said, lunatic stumped me at chapter 2)), she's pretty greatmazing from that pairing on easier modes. You might want to pair Henry or Virion with Nowi, as Nah is pretty potent too.

[1234567890]

So I'll do...

Avatar x Tiki (because she can only marry him and she's tiki yay)

Gregor x Cordelia

Henry x Lissa (they both use magic)

Chrom x Sully (she's the only one I'm using that can marry him)

Virion x Nowi

How does that sound?

[Darros]

Tiki will result in you getting morgan pretty late, but Manakete Morgan kind of makes it worth it. Not sure on Henry & Lissa, Owain's not really a magic unit. Then again second seals can just presto chango it up. It looks pretty good all around to me. I'd onceover it with someone who's played lunatic though unless they refute CordeliaXGregor

[1234567890]

Or maybe:
Cordelia x Gregor
Avatar x Lissa
Chrom x Sully
Virion x Nowi
Tiki x Henry (until I get kids to pair some people up with because Tiki can support Lucy and Nah. after that Henry will get... some extra kid he can't support with but who cares)

[1234567890]

Here is chapter 2.

[spoiler=Chapter 2]
Chapter 2

Chrom, Lissa and Fred introduce Avatar to the shepherds and Emmeryn. Fred screams "DON'T LISTEN TO HIM HE'S CLEARLY A SPY!!!1111!!!1" whenever Avatar tries to say something. Chrom and Lissa start screaming about how Fred is mean. Fred gets mad and goes out to decapitate some more Risen.

Sully had a bronze lance and an Virion's elixir from last chapter, so she paired up with Fred and they ran into the bushes and sat beside a Mercenary. Sully gave Fred all her items and Fred equipped the bronze sword.

My other units stated out of the enemy range in those 4 safe spots. At the top Chrom (avatar) sat. On the right side there was Vaike (Virion) and on the left side there was Stahl (Lissa). The reason for the empty space in the middle was for Miriel to sit in.

On the enemy phase, all the Risen except for this one mercenary went over the Fred (Stahl) because they all wanted to be decapitated. The mercenary went to my other units.

On the player phase, Fred ate a bite out of his Elixir (even though he had only taken about 7 damage. I had no vulneraries with him and Sully because I forgot to give them some last chapter and giving them some now would require sacrificing someone, and I need them all for being meatshields later in this chapter)

I moved everyone but Chrom (Avatar) out of the mercenary's range. My units were all able to get to the right sid.

On the enemy phase, more enemies asked Fred to kill them.

The mercenary near my other units attacked Chrom. Chrom hit but Avatar did not dual attack or dual guard.

On the player phase, Fred ate more tasty elixir, this time recovering more then 7 HP.

Chrom (Avatar) and Virion worked together to kill the mercenary. After that, I used Vaike to sacrifice himself baiting an enemy so my other units could kill them. Miriel gave Avatar a fire tome.

After that, I unequipped Fred and moved my units to the left side of the map, making sure they were out of enemy range.

Eventually I traded Sully Fred's bronze sword so she could kill a soldier that was near her and Fred. I used stahl to die baiting another enemy soldier so he wouldn't kill Sully. A third soldier suicided on Sully. On the next player phase Avatar, Chrom and Virion killed the soldier who killed Stahl.

I went to the sparkling tile to get an item, hoping it would be a kneaded so I wouldn't need to waste Lissa's heal uses (I forgot I was getting a new heal staff next chapter). It was not, so I got mad and didn't pay attention to what it was. I think it was weapon experience for someone.

After that, I used Lissa (Miriel) to to heal my other units, making sure to conserve my precious heal uses (once again, I forgot I would get a new one next chapter).

After that, I had Virion and Lissa run to the lower left side of the map and Miriel run to the lower right side. I had Avatar (Chrom) in the lower middle area. Also, I gave Fred (Sully) a vulnerary and Chrom (Avatar) one too.

Fred went to the square one up of the lowest right area of the enemies range. I unequipped Sully's weapon and gave it to Fred.

On the enemy phase all the enemies charged at Fred. Only one attacked him though.

After that, Fred (Sully) sat on the right fort because it's one outside the boss' range.

Fred then sat on the fort, eating vulneraries when necessary. The boss had really low accuracy on him due to Fred's bronze sword so I didn't have to worry about that so much.

When only the boss was left, Fred ran up to see what was in the sparkly tile. It was a kneader! (I was really happy about that until I noticed that I was going to get a new heal staff next chapter)

After that Fred (Sully) ran out of the way and Avatar (Chrom) went to where they had been. Avatar was able to kill the boss because of some conveniently placed forts, some tasty vulneraries and some dual attacks from Chrom.

While avatar was doing that, Fred gave Lissa the kneader and she healed him with it for about 1 turn. I wanted to use it for staff abuse but the boss was killing Avatar so I had to murder the boss so he wouldn't die.

Stats coming soon (by soon I mean sometime this weekend or so)
