What's the deal with the green chick at the shop? Does that just mean there's a sale?

So just over 56 hours sunk into my first, long drawn out, playthrough. I'll probably finish up the three, or four Paralogue chapters I have left and put the game down until midyear. By that time, hopefully enough of the DLC is out and I'll give it a second go. I really enjoyed the game; Likeable characters everywhere, lots of great things about Sacred Stones complimented with more difficulty, Street/Spotpass and DLC. Definitely my favourite Fire Emblem.

The children are so insanely broken. I put a level 1 Swordmaster Owain with his mother against the bonus Jaffar map and he decimated them.

Sometimes items are slightly cheaper, they'll be marked with "sale."
But Anna at the shop means there are also special items, often master/second seals included, once you visit the shop and leave she disappears, so buy anything you want right then.

For comparison's sake, how much strength does your Lon'qu have? I think mine might be gimped.
just to clarify, the last point at least applies for dual attacks
so like
unit 1 attacks
unit 2 attacks right after
enemy attacks
unit 1 attacks
unit 2 attacks right after
I've never seen it happen for blocks but I assume it applies there also. Unit 2 can both attack and block in the same battle if the percentages are in your favor.
Pairing up also gives a unit a hit, crit, avoid boosts
You'd be lucky if Lon'qu's strength is the same as his level. Hell, he even starts off with more.

Ah, so I guess he's not getting stiffed. I suppose he doesn't really need more, anyway.
He has 13 right now.

Severa as an assassin is super duper cute (and :chet)
And pretty damn deadly with lonqu pops. Crazy high skill/speed + Astra + lethality + galeforce+ a crit sword.

Can someone link me the map music (along with the battle version if it's available) that plays a few times on/prior to chapter 11? It's dramatic and has vocals. I really, really need to listen to it some more.
I made it through that map with Severa handling all the wyverns.
She is way too good. I don't have any good skills on her except Galeforce but even then, she's a super cute killing machine.
I was wondering what class I'd change her after Hero. Looks like it will be Assassin.
That wasn't a particularly hard map tbh. It was hard for me though, because I only had Cherche and one other Dark Flier which made movement in the map fucking difficult!

What determines what stuff shows up in the Barracks? I've noticed a Christmas Tree, for example, and a little cat banner. Is it random?
Also, when a character gets a Surge of Power and their Stats go up during a Barrack Event, how long does that last?

There are some minor things in Pair Up that Rescue does better, though.
1. If you have an exposed unit, and you've already used that unit's turn, you can't Pair Up and swap to the support character to protect him.
2. You can't Pair Up with suicidal NPCs.

The furniture represents the units you recruit, starting from when you first unlock the barracks.
afaik, stat ups only last for one map.

Is it just me, or are mages kinda terrible? Dark mages got megadrain, but other mages got decent damage but with everyone in later chapters having ranged weapons, you get your ass handed to you instantly cuz you lack avoid and def.
Maybe my miriel and henry just have shit rng, or I'm using them wrong :/

Each character you recruit can add stuff to the Barracks. But not all of them have stuff to add. Also, one mission.

As much as I'm liking this game, the story hasn't really clicked for me yet. It's feeling more like FE8 then FE7 or FE9 to me. Perhaps I just need to give it more time.
I tend to agree, although the end game surprised me with Ricken being second on the team in terms of battles won. He and Tharja were the two mages I focused on. I had Henry up to a level 5 Sorcerer, or so, but his speed was so brutal that he good defenses didn't matter. Mostly, they made up for my lack of natural archers early on and later they were only good for hitting something that was veeeery weak to magic. Tharja could at least hold her own in the middle of the battle field as a Dark Knight with good defenses. Ricken was often seen behind everyone else, picking off weaklings.
I need to fight this guy to the death.
I agree 100%.

well, at least the character/s I want are still available! too many waifu candidates to be honest.
I wish the after game would let you see / obtain all the S ranks you wanted across various characters. But I guess there's always Youtube, or hundreds of hours of grinding in my second playthrough.

Need advice: promote Gaius to Assasin or Trickster?
Gregor to Hero or Bow Knight?

Assassin.
Assassin and Hero.

That was beautiful.
Depends on what you want really. I made my Gaius an Assassin, and he's destroying everything with an S rank support (for me, it's with Olivia), though I think you lose the ability to open chests/doors if you promote to that (with Trickster, you can).
Gregor, I'd go with Hero, though I never used Bow Knight. I haven't had a Hero let me down yet though.

But that's a skill, I thought all skills stayed with the character no matter the class.
can't really say for certain since I don't know how your other units are set up. Gregor might already be your 4th Hero or something.
Once a unit's learned a skill they'll never forget it.
Assassin and Hero are the 'better classes', but I made Gregor a Bow Knight for variety, with Donnel being the only Hero my team needed. Gaius was sort of left behind with Anna taking the role of Trickster and Morgan being a god-tier Assassin.
But don't fret on it too much. If you change your mind later you can reclass.
