Would Counter + Iote's Shield + Tomebreaker + Vantage + Vengeance make someone unstoppable? (This is for a Wyvern Lord avatar)

Also, when are you able to buy second seals? I can buy master seals from like 2 different places now but no second seals ... and I need them.

What exactly is the purpose of counter here? It's not such as great skill for the player, especially the Avatar who has access to much better stuff.

Would someone give me an overview of the DLC or link me to a place that gives a good explanation of what I'd be purchasing?
If the maps are not connected to the main game or I get useless items, I'll pass.

It's broken down in detail here, though it's information from the Japanese release nothing but the DLC titles has changed. Of the ones released so far, none of them are related to the main game. The purpose is mostly for easier XP and gold grinding, and to unlock unique skills or classes. The maps and missions themselves aren't of particularly high quality either.
The first season:
- Lost Bloodlines 2 for the Dread Fighter class
- Smash Brethren 2 for the Bride class
- Rogues and Redeemers 3 for the Limit Break skill that increases the cap on all classes by 10 (if you're looking to max out stats and stuff post-game, especially for the final DLC).
Second season:
- Get everything, damn you! (unless you're not into support conversations)

Ah, so the rewards of battle carry over to the main game from the DLC. Sounds good to me. Thanks guys. I'll download all of them now.
Frederick's already a promoted unit. If you're playing on Hard or below, it's best just to strip him of his weapon and just have him act as a tank early on.

The tactician has the veteran skill which gives him 50% more XP when paired up.
In addition, the avatar has the veteran skill which increases experience gains by 50% while paired up.

It's worth to work on Anna's stats? So far she's been a dissapointment in battle IMO.
Just this game.

In the DLC with the new class(can't remember name), does that new class also include unique skills?
Secondly, I'm not sure I used a second seal on anyone except Donnel. Am I missing out? I've just tailored my lineup out of the characters I have(so many). The only area that I'm short on is bow users. I have Gaius as an assassin and have been leveling him in bows, but that's a slow process. Still, I have two magic users(Ricken and Tharja) most of the time and they can dish out tons of damage.
Also, I used Olivia for a little but then trailed off on leveling her, so I don't have a dancer. That's kind of a bummer because it's such a useful skill, but I'm far enough along now that I don't think I need it(bout to start either chp. 21 or 22, can't remember which).
Does everyone seriously love how fast the game starts from the 3DS menu? So fast.
Lastly, does anyone know the field song that plays during risen skirmishes? Sorry, I'm not sure where all it plays, but I know it plays during those. I love that track.

1. Yes, one of them is called quickslash which is one of the best male exclusive skills (+10 attack on your turn).
2. Yes and no it'll be slower to get some skills overall, but you don't need to second seal to beat the game at all. You do kinda want to get the skills before you recruit the kid characters. It's probably the biggest issue I have with the game right now, having to go dark fliers on the parents before hand if you want to pass galeforce to the kids.
3. The sonq is called conquest; conquest (ablaze) is the combat version.
There are two, each in separate DLC: Dread Fighter (M) and Bride (F). They both have their own skills, yeah. And their skills are pretty damn good, imo.

You know, looking at the later "2nd season" DLC, am I the only one who can't understand what IS was thinking when they made a new unplayable Risen class rather than another playable DLC class? It just seems completely pointless when enemies can break caps and have any skills anyway.
Basileus777

Does that new class have new animations? If it doesn't, it probably wasn't much work anyway.

Despite the game having unlimited experience/levels you're still better off sticking with the old Fire Emblem logic of waiting to promote units. Don't promote your units until they are either level 20 or are capping stats in a base class.
I'm glad I'm not alone in my appreciation of that track, it seems to get less love than a lot of others.
Pair up is your friend. Try not to let Frederick hog exp, but do use him to pair up with weak units, as his stat boosts will be helpful. Second Seals will let you reclass your units, base classes to other base classes, while promoted classes at level 10 can reclass to any available promoted class. You can buy those and Master seals later on so don't sweat them too much. If you take the time to level Donnel, he ends up being a beast.
Oh and once you have a paralogue available, you can do them at any time. L+R+Start is a soft reset. When you're moving around the overworld map, you can hold A to move faster. DLC becomes available after chapter 4, iirc.
Hope some of that is helpful.

They need to up the animations for the next game.
A swordmaster isn't a swordmaster unless they can split into five guys and carve people up when they crit.
It would look even better in 3D too.

Ah, that answers it. I wasn't thinking of Streetpass.
It's not good for streetpass even really, it's good for trolling one time, but it doesn't trigger for ranged. Anyway, I'd just use limitbreaker in that spot.
Thanks guys! I'll remember all that.
What about the DLC? What do they add, are they important? Any of them is a mus have?
I'd say the free one is a must-have, lol. Hurry, just a few days left
I think most of the best DLC is yet to come. You can buy the trilogy pack which includes the first bonus class (Dread Fighter), but I don't think the actual map containing it is out yet.
Well, definitely get the free map before it stops being free (March 5 is the last day). Other than that, most maps available right now are on the easy side, or made for grinding. It's really there mostly for fanservice, as it features characters from past games fighting each other, so it's up to you if you feel it's "worth" it.
The best maps are yet to come, though.
Chapter 10 is so awesome. It made me almost cry twice.
The music, the atmosphere, the context, the graphics... it's perfect.
At this point I was wondering "why did I give the game only 3.5/5?" and I remembered how from there the game gets worse and worse. Why Intelligent System, why?
I almost wish the game ends in chapter 10. So good T_T

Holy shit at the new bonus map. Brave + Rescue + Dance all the way.
And God bless Tharja, but now I need to make her a knight or whatever, already been through all mage classes.

One neat touch I noticed after Chapter 21.
Since Chrom lost the Fire Emblem, he doesn't wield it in battle anymore. Hell, he doesn't have any sort of shield as a Great Lord. At least the game was considerate to do that.

How do you get DLC anyway?
I can't connect to the wifi here with my 3DS for some reason and I have never gotten DLC for any system before.

Is Donnel worth the effort?
This is fun on Lunatic when the game gives almost every enemy on the first map an arbitrary 10+ crit for no real reason

Plenty of ways to negate it. Attack that unit with a ranged unit or a high-luck unit, or pair up so the crit won't kill you.
Oh God yes

Dear god, skill attacks can crit. Olivia + Astra + high crit rate = good times. She is definitely my best dodge tank right now, and that just made her even more awesome.
It isn't arbitrary. Higher Skill always means higher Crit. Every single game is like this.
Every single game does not hand out a +10 Crit skill like candy to the opening prologue no sorry

Donnel is such a beast that ... I had to stop using him to beef up other characters. He maxed out most all of his stats (besides Mag and Res) by level 10 in the Mercenary class. Really, I mainly took him for Adapt to be passes down (Paired him with Nawi because they're both childish and I Wanted to make a beastly Dragon baby ... that was a mistake, I think I should have paired her with Gregor. Didn't realize how mature she can sound in her supports) but he can be a one man army if you want him to be.
