Man, Chrom x Sumia has some horrible results. I don't think I'm going to use either kid, because the skill selection just seems so bad. I mean, they both get Aether and Galeforce... but that's it, unless I make Pavise/Aegis tanks out of them or something.
Use a second seal on them. Your stats will change a little depending on wich class you select, and you can keep leveling up to get more stats. You'll gain exp at slower rates than before though.
I did the same but with Frederick so that he did ~8 damage per attack or so.
I forgot Frederick existed in my game
Eh, they'll have access to Luna and Lancefaire. Their skill selection is fine. Galeforce is pretty much the only broken skill and they'll both get it. And yeah royal weapon pavise/aegis tank lucina is probably the best tank in the game (well unless you get a morgan with royal weapon).
If I use a second seal to change their class, it looks like some stats go down. They don't return to their base levels, do they? Also it looks like they won't keep weapon proficiency's. If I switch a mage with a staff level A to a myrmidon, and then back to a class that can use a staff, will it go back to A?
I eventually paired him with Panne which game him just enough of a damage boost to get him over the initial hump (and their outdoorsey support conversations are a hoot). But the extra effort of micromanaging each turn to divide up the experience just so and making sure everyone's standing in the right support spots at all times - in addition to clearing the level - adds an extra dimension that becomes second nature after awhile.
Yes, the game remembers your stats and wp, for example if you are in a class with a 40 points in Defense, and you go to Mage (a class wich cap for defense is much much lower) the game will display the new, lower defense, but will remember your actual defense (40) for future clases
Sweet, thanks.
One last question!
Is there any reason I shouldn't just continuously summon the lowest ranked Bonus Box team to grind my lower level characters up on?
DLC is a little faster (especially the new dlc coming out soon). However, it does trivialize the difficulty of the game and makes it more boring to some.
Yeah, a lot of my friends refuse to do any of it. Which is cool, everyone can play how they want, but a lot of the fun for me is seeing how ridiculously broken I can make myself. I do this in any game where it's possible.
Probably one of the reasons that FF8 is my favorite FF game :lol
What exactly are you looking for besides Aether and Galeforce? Only notable thing that comes to mind is lacking Swordfaire and you should still have access to Lancefaire or Tomefaire. Galeforce, Aether, Aegis, Pavise, Lancefaire/Tomefaire, Luna if you really want an extra chance at a combat skill proc, etc.
No Swordfaire is a little disappointing though.
Chrom. It's a waste of gale force inheritance since Gaius already passes it on to his daughter, and you definitely want Chrom's children to have access to it.

How does Gaius automatically pass it on?? And chroms daughter can get it herself from leveling up dark flier..
Gaius passes pegasus knight on to his kids (his fighter class turns into peg knight option for daughters). Chrom's kids don't get pegasus knight option if he marries sully/village girl.
Gaius passes on fighter to sons but Pegasus knight to daughters. So it's best to pair him with a woman doesnt have access to pegasus knight but that has a daughter, like Sully.
Lucina does not have access to Pegasus unless her mother does, which fortunately is everybody but Sully.
Gender exclusive classes switch to other gender exclusive classes when passed down to opposite gendered children. I think Donny's and Gaius's fighter class are what switch to pegasus knight for their daughters. This makes them perfect for Nowi and Sully whose daughters can't become pegasus knights on their own.
Well I mean, stacking offensive options isn't that useful since you can only activate one per fight anyway and Aether is essentially the best option anyway. Galeforce / Aether / Ignis|Astra / Rightful King / Swordfaire is the only notable offensive comp I can think of you can't make with Sumia as waifu (requires Avatar for the Ignis one, Olivia can do the Astra one).
Galeforce / Aether / Aegis / Pavise / Rightful King|Lancefaire|Tomefaire is perfectly fine though.
Female Avatar route dooms a kid to a no Galeforce way of life ;_;

IT should be noted that Vaike's fighter class does not get passed down to his children.
I learned that the hard way.

He forgets to pass down the Pegasus part of it ;_; Just gives Knight access.
That Vaike, always forgetting shit.

I started a new game trying to get Sumia and Chrom, mostly because I want every child in the game, I screw my last game and left Sumia single; Cynthia and Lucina are way to good to pass.
Well, I guess those who bought the bundle and managed to get the survey for Fire Emblem for the coins were fortunate. Closing in on two weeks since I registered the bundle and linked my eshop account with no survey showing up, I sent an email to Nintendo asking if there was anything else I needed to do to get the survey to show up so I could get the coins for it.
This was the response I got.
Well, bummer.

Crom/Sumia pairing is canon so I'll most likely go for it again on my second playthrough.
How will you collect all of the support conversations that way??? HOW????

Bought a 3DS just for this game based on GAF's rave reviews. I'm not even going to ask about the feet.
I have to play on Casual, because I need to be able to save regularly ( just not enough gaming time), but it sucks to not have characters perma-die. Now I'm flush with characters, am I wasting my time by spreading around the action and leveling them all up, or am I better off just working with a select 10 or so?

You're better off picking a core group, definitely. Trying to spread your team out too thin will just result in tons of grinding to keep up.
I hope the game delivers for you, man!
It sounds like you're pretty far in, but FYI you can still save at any time on Classic. It just does a suspend save that you can't reload to once you started back up again.

I'm of the assumption anything post-final chapter isn't canon.
None of this happens after the final chapter though.
Yeah, Armsthrift is the biggest offensive utility one that's missing but, at the same time, this goes for a lot of people ;_;
I think it's better to spread it around for now, but soon you'll just have too many people and will naturally begin to focus on a select group that works best for you.
Just make sure you really limit your use of Frederick. He's an experience hog.

The spotpass dlc maps can only be played after beating the final chapter I think.

This's my horrible plan to get all the kids:
Chrom and Sumia = Lucina and Cynthia
Lissa and Virion = Owain
Olivia and Gregor = Inigo
Maribelle and Libra = Brady
Sully and Stahl = Kjelle
Cordelia and Henry= Severa
Cherche and Kellam = Gerome
Avatar and Lon´qu= Morgan
Panne and Vaike = Yarne
Miriel and Frederick = Laurent
Nowi and Ricken = Nah
Gaius and Tharja = Noire
Lissa and Virion = Owain
Olivia and Gregor = Inigo
Maribelle and Libra = Brady
Sully and Stahl = Kjelle
Cordelia and Henry= Severa
Cherche and Kellam = Gerome
Avatar and Lon´qu= Morgan
Panne and Vaike = Yarne
Miriel and Frederick = Laurent
Nowi and Ricken = Nah
Gaius and Tharja = Noire
Yes I know most of them are bad, but I had great results with weird couples like an assassin Gaius and a sorcerer Tharja.
Nah, second to last chapter.

I could use the save and load trick. Or I might leave that to a third playthrough.
You're ready to break Lunatic+

I keep seeing people saying that Cleric/Troubadour characters are a pain to level. Does no one else just spam Rescue? Is that still not fast enough for people? It's actually good even for leveling some of the advanced classes.
Ya, rescue spam makes leveliling those classes insanely fast, and since it's a e staff it's great for stuff like falcon knights/sages as well.
