If I want Swordmaster skills, is it generally better to just get to level 10 and then promote to get the skills as fast as possible, or to go all the way to level 20 and then promote?

I tend to go to 20 for the base class, but I think the general consensus is that it's not necessary. You will have lower stats when you initially reach the advanced class by promoting at 10, but in many cases, the skills are the main goal.

 

[zroid]

I'd say it probably matters a lot more in the early game, because at low levels that bump can greatly affect your rate of xp gain. Later on, not quite so much.

It also slows down EXP gain, since the game will automatically put you at level 21 when you promote.

Question about perma death. If someone dies in battle are you able to restart the battle or are they dead no matter what?

You can reload your save and try the battle again. It doesn't autosave when a character dies or anything like that.

Well that makes me feel better. thx

L+R+START

 

[QisTopTier]

Well that makes me feel better. thx

The "bookmark" function that replaces the normal save mid battle helps you exit to the main menu fast as well

L+R+START

LOL I swear I tried that and it didn't work. Now I feel dumb

 

[Jugendstil]

The game is really addictive even though I'm bad at it. Definitely my favorite 3DS game so far. What's the best way to level Donnell early on? I pair him with Fred and have him make the killing blow but it still seems kinda slow.

There is a level 1 bonus battle you can summon over and over. That's what I did

 

[Velcro Fly]

Finally got around to playing that final map on the first DLC pack. Just realized that I can basically get the +2 stats item an infinite amount of times. Kinda like how the first DLC pack had a little bit of a story behind it which was humorous the first go round through each map. Definitely feel like the DLC is geared towards people who are going to play through the game multiple times or try to grind up every single character to max.

Between this an EOIV, I can't even decide my favorite game in February. It may be brutal trying to pick a 3DS GOTY at this rate.

 

[BassForever]

It's also the best battle to grind out supports because the highest leveled foe is a lvl 6 cavalier so there is very little risk of over leveling.

If you have EXPonential Growth just have him go there. 1 kill = 1 level

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

I am such an idiot, lol. I thought skills were passed down in some preordained fashion and totally botched some of the children's inheritance. 2 of which would have received Galeforce but didn't. Really sucks. The good news is the two that would have received Galeforce can second seal at their first level 20 to a pegasus knight and move towards the skill. Any have a better suggestion? Morgan is a thief, and Aversa is a Mercenary, is there a class I can master seal them into that would lead me towards dark flier on my second level 20 seal?

Edit: Most upset about not passing down Aptitude though.......and it would have been on Aversa as well....ugh

 

[Busaiku]

Alright, I've gotta beat the main story this week.
It has to happen.

I need to stop grinding Supports.

If you're playing on normal/hard it's not something you should be too concerned about, you don't need to make super kids on those difficulties and by the time you've grinded up the parents to pass on those skills the parents should be strong enough to beat the game already. Lunatic/+ on the other hand...

Thanks, I know I am already way over leveled but it is fun creating a super army lol. Will probably still grind them towards Galeforce, and then move through the story. At least the battles are fun lol, and Exponential Growth makes it less of a chore.

BTW does anything role over into a new game plus?

Starting a new game will kick you off with the highest amount of Renown you've had when you beat the game.

To be fair its not a complete loss, as there is the super-hard DLC that will eventually come out.

 

[hao chi]

I don't know why, but Gaius' "Where's your flavor?" cracks me up.

 

[BassForever]

Renown and your log book carry over, so hypothetically you could start with the ultimate emblem, sell it for 99,999 gold then rehire your old Avatar and DLC characters to make the game easier.

 

[Kyzon]

I just married Nowi on this playthrough and it was nowhere near as awkward as Lon Que was.

 

[Draxal]

No such thing.

Renown definitely does.

 

[Chrom]

Renown definitely does.

It does allow for a makeshift NG+, yeah.

 

[dreamer3kx]

Ok so in order to get all side quest I need to marry correct, does it matter who?

Also can I go back to side quest after main story?

 

[ohlawd]

yup, just gotta get those women hitched. Some women (sadly) don't produce unique kids like Say'ri (ffs why the hell not?), Tiki, and others.

the rest of the sidequests (Paralogues 18 and above I believe) are gotten through Spotpass.

and yes to your second question.

 

[Busaiku]

So about an hour into chapter 25, still wasn't completely sure (though I had to have taken out like 60-70 enemies already) if they were endless respawns or not, so I send 2 somewhat units in that can kill the boss, just in case they kept coming in the next turn.
So then they respawn in front of those fragile units.

Well, I didn't wanna use Donny, but now I'm gonna.

Chrom is the only one that can do real damage to the final boss. Send him up and it'll be done in two turns. He does like 40 damage to him, everyone else is lucky to do more than 5.

 

[Busaiku]

It wasn't the final chapter.
I could've easily taken the boss out at any point, I just like routing the maps, and wasn't sure how long respawns were gonna last.

 

[Mr. Fix]

Lucky, my Chrom was hitting 10s. Lucina is great as well, she did 20 x 2 for me.

 

[backlot]

I think I had Severa and Morgan doing more damage than Chrom. He was pretty under-leveled in my play through.

 

[ohlawd]

did you train Chrom and Chrom only? >_>

Lucina does pretty damn well too.

 

[B-Dubs]

No, I was referring to the final final boss. The one on the dragon's back that only really takes damage from Chrom's wep.

Lucina wields Falchion too albeit weaker than Chrom's Exalted Falchion. They both do great damage to Grima.

Grind enough and anyone can deal damage to the final boss. Attacking via magic works better as well since it has a lower resistance stat.

2 more, if anyone cares.

Pretty sure the reinforcements both in that chapter and the last one are endless so...

 

[ohlawd]

these look great :3

I'd like to see one for Tsumugi... I wonder what she'd be though. Maybe a Cleric or Troubadour?

 

[Giolon]

Knights of Iris get!

I've actually already drawn Mugi. Ritsu and Mio as well, so I got all the main girls now.

 

[Turok_TTZ]

seeing my total hours into this game being 160+ hours... how much time any of ye invested so far playing FE Awakening?

 

[Kincaido]

Have 201:35 on the game lol. Really slowed down this week since I got some new games. Waiting for that Bride DLC before I really start playing again.

2 more, if anyone cares.

I'm not sure if it matters, but which difficulty were you playing on? On normal Nowi was able to destroy the boss easily (in fact, she couldn't even be damaged).

 

[B-Dubs]

That was on normal. I sent up my heavy hitter, all up graded level 20's with silver weapons, and they didn't do a whole lot. (Sully, Lon'qu, the MU, Vaike, Miriel all level 20 with good weapons) Chrom and his exalted sword basically killed it in two turns. We are talking about the final final boss on the dragon's back.

 

[XeroSauce]

Another question for you folks.

I have these ladies and gents left. How would you match them?

Cordelia (Severa into a flying unit probably Wyvern Lord)
Tharja (haven't decided what Noire will do yet, probably Sorcerer)

MaleMU (Morgan into balanced Grandmaster with +Def/-Luk)
Stalh
Virion
Libra (might just make Libra forever alone on purpose)
Kellam

Difficulty is at Lunatic. Only reason I haven't done Tharja and MU yet is because redhead Morgan is adorable and I'm attached to Cordelias stats)

 

[Boss Doggie]

So we only lack 3 more Spot Pass characters right? It's

Chrom's sis with amnesia

, that

2nd gen dude

Also I noticed Chrom and Frederick talk a lot to each other in side quests. If Frederick dies, who replaces him?

 

[Hours Left]

yup, just gotta get those women hitched. Some women (sadly) don't produce unique kids like Say'ri (ffs why the hell not?), Tiki, and others.

There is a storyline reason for that.

Say'ri isn't alive in the future the kids come from.

Frederick can't die, he just gets permanently injured.
