Amazing.
Nintendo Marketing is hitting all the chord these days.
Also, am I the only one feeling we're stepping into some dangerous Eugenics experiments territory in this thread? lol.

God damn, stuck on the second chapter in lunatic mode. Sully is useless because everything doubles her and the same for Virion. Frederick can only do so much. I'm trying not to let him soak up any exp but it's pretty much unavoidable.
It's really unavoidable for the first 3 missions. Ch. 3 you can babysit and share more of the exp before the bridge and same with Ch. 5 and the first paralogue. It's as far as I am and hopefully the levels gained from Ch. 5 provide enough tanks to baby more people in 6+. I hope I can farm the risen that are popping up now because they're levels 12-14 and aside from frederick I only have 1 person above level 10. Before I did Ch. 5 I don't think I had anyone before Kellam above level 5.

Looks like I'll have to feed Freddy a bit then until I can get past 3 at least. The reason I went for a lunatic run is because I grinded for hours on my normal run until I had all the kids and the skills I wanted on them then just steamrolled the remaining chapters.
Doesn't seem like I'll be able to do that on Lunatic since if I remember reading that the reeking boxes cost like 4000 a pop or something.
Yeah they're 4800g and the Spotpass Teams only gives you 1xp per hit/kill. gg grinding. DLC gives regular gains though, so I think if you really want to grind, use that. Kinda sad about the farmable map pack coming out but that's a conscious choice to utilize.
Yeah after I finished chapter 4 and got Lon'qu I thought my game must of been bugged because someone other than Frederick could take on more than one enemy at a time and survive (there is always more than one). He ended up soloing the wyvern reinforcements in 9 with a wyrmslayer.
The only thing you can get is new paralogues from spotpass or extra dlc stages that go from underwhelming (the first 3) to a map with units that go over the stat cap.

after finishing Champions of Yore 3, I decided to try one of the difficult SpotPass teams. All I can say is, Counter is a terrible terrible skill.If you're on the receiving end of it
Well it is one of the few skills that works better for the enemy than for you since they don't care if someone takes too much damage while you start worrying if someone on your team is going to die.
My best units died because of it. I also had to scamper and rely on the two ranged units I had for that map. 1 Bow Knight and 1 Sorcerer. Thank god, they were also capable and able to finish the map on their own.

Just wait until the EXP DLC comes out.
Because every enemy on the map is an Entombed with Counter as their skill. So if someone thinks they can just breeze through the entire thing without the proper setup, they're in for a very rude awakening.

It continues to astound me how much content this game has with how clearly high budget it was; glorious graphics, animation and beautiful cel-shaded cutscenes are top notch!

Isn't that just the level 30 Entombed on the map?

Do the 'super hard' dlc maps scale depending on difficulty?
:lol
lol, so bad.

Yes, you'll notice that enemy unit stat totals skyrocket on higher difficulties compared to 'View Stats' from the parley screen.

Yes.
Not saying it isn't that hard since those Entombed don't actually retaliate against you (they do have high HP which is troublesome), but it is something people should be aware of if they are wanting to use that DLC to grind EXP. Especially if its their first time playing on that particular map.
I thought only one of them had counter?
Alright, can someone help me out? I've just hit level 20 as a Sniper with Noire, and I wanna know what's the best way to go from here. Here's what her stats look like right now:
HP: 61
Str: 30
Mag: 29
Skill: 44
Spd: 39
Lck: 24
Def: 39
Res: 19
Skills: Patience, Vengeance, Bowfaire, Lifetaker, Hit Rate +20
With potential class change options being: Great Knight, General, Bow Knight, Assassin, Trickster, Valkyrie, War Cleric, Sniper, Dark Knight, Sorcerer, Knight, Archer, Thief, Troubadour, Dark Mage
I've been leaning towards Bow Knight or Assassin, but I'm at a crossroads here because I'm not really sure what's best for the stats that the RNG has blessed Noire with.

I think there's supposed to be a comma after "you."

You makes sense because it's referring to the other person as their Valentine.
No, it's supposed to be "you," I think the issue with it is actually punctuation more than anything. A comma or two to help separate out the subject would have helped.
"I'd die for you, Valentine, and in this game death is eternal."
I'm still not convinced >_>
Using "Valentine" as a title is so bizarre. To me, anyway.
Ahh ok, I see. So it doesn't really matter who the other characters are, the conversations are more or less the same.
I think only the highest level Entombed have counter.

Wouldn't magic work better with your noire?

Yeah, mostly a rule not to be so greedy. Of course I learned that the hard way when I didn't realize some of the units in the gold DLC had vantage. Poor Marth getting smacked for 46 damage, lol.

Actually sorry I made a mistake.
It's not every Entombed, just the ones that are lv30.
They are still mixed in with the normal ones so you'll still have to be careful
Sorcerer class because its basically the best class in the game because of how good MAG is in this game, being able to tank alot of damage, and having access to Nosferatu/Aversa's Night.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Aw, so, based on what I've read, it seems four 1st-Generation characters end up alone...for me that's Gaius, Anna, Stalh, and Henry.

SpotPass characters and DLC Micaiah have nearly replaced my entire team. Since this is a new playthrough I'm not so worried about supports. The Golden Gaffe DLC totally made forging weapons actually viable, which is kinda awesome!
SpotPass characters have access to all their gender's classes, so that made them a lot more useful!

So how does this "New Game Plus" feature work? What's carried over? Will I need to make a new "My Unit"?

There is no new game+. You can buy characters you've put in your logbook and you keep your renown, but that's it.
I like how you dont have to grind as long as you do everything presented. I already have most everyone to 20 and promoted who i could with what master seals i had and used a couple 2nd seals on others and having them run through their base class again. Chapter 9 was W...T...F? Im on chapter 12 now.
Can i farm master seals and if so where.
I promoted Gaius to Assassin and hooking him up with Cordelia. He got access to bow but is at E class and only bow i have is a 3 shot glass bow. Where and what is another e class bow so i can trsin him?
Olivia has an awesome ability but im having a bitch of a time keeping her alive. Its like all the enemies swarm to her everytime. Im not worrying about stats being passed down right now just hooking characters up with who i think they should be. Funnest so far is hooking Ricken up with that masochist, gloomy goth dark mage girl.

That is a strong possibility.

You have to make a new one. Though you can get your old one back too if you get enough money to buy him from the log book.
You can get Bronze Bows pretty early on.
