Nah and Kjelle are pretty forgettable, but at least I don't actively dislike them.
Still gotta get Morgan (Male), but that'll be a while.
I like Yarne a lot more in his earlier supports, but I don't like him as much when he's more developed.

I get you, but just think what Nowi would be like with big boobs.
You don't want him with Generic Village Girl. So at least try to get one rank with anyone.
No. Also, avatar quote to you too.
All an Arms Scroll does is boost all of a unit's weapon ranks to the next one.

Very useful when you've got nothing but E's. My Dark Knight Tiki would greatly appreciate an Arms Scroll. She's also going to appreciate Lifetaker once she gets it.
Not as much as Cordelia though. I'm having a hard time seeing any first-gen character aside from the avatar being better than her. Sol+Lifetaker+Galeforce+Armsthrift. Then you have plenty of options for that last skill even outside DLC options. Axe/Tomebreaker. Lancefaire. Vengeance, though that doesn't really fit all that well, but it's a pretty decent skill nonetheless. Then throw in her good modifiers and growths.
I think I'm going to solo the last chapter with her because why not.

If you plan on going crazy with reclassing, then Arms Scrolls can be extremely handy. If not, then they're just a convenience.
I think sol/lifetaker a redundant but yeah, Cordelia has 3 of the best core classes.
I wouldn't mind if Future Fire Emblems came out with Skylander type character expansions in the future. Even though pokemon would be the perfect Nintendo IP for a skylanders type game.
Generic village girl may be harder to marry then Olivia, haha.
Her magic growth is pretty dire but once she's maxed, yeah, her potential is way better then other gen 1 guys and occasionally competitive with gen 2. Armsthrift is so convenient, I start to neglect people who don't have it (and the list of people who do have it is short).
Only thing that's annoying about her is low magic cap + lack of tomefaire, even the growth rate issue is fixed by the copious amounts of +stat items the game throws at you.

Yeah, have to force feed her Spirit Dust, even as a Sorcerer she only has 35 magic growth.
But that doesn't bother me too much since outside the Sorcerer class you're not going to be using magic much anyway. She seems best as a hero to me, or Falcom Knight as the best alternative to that (more so for lances than staves).
It's not really important given how generous the game is in regard of weapons.
Except for the very best ones (Celica's Gale X Aversa's Night) which are complete RNG grinds to get. Ragnell/Amatsus are also very very good and complete pain to get enough of.

Armsthrift is just nice so you can forge up extremely strong weapons and not worry about them breaking for a long time (or ever, depending on the character). You can easily hit up Golden Gaffe for cash, but when you're talking 15k+ a pop for forging that can still add up to be a lot of extra cash grinding.
Edit: Plus the grinding to get the weapons you want.
I got like 5 Celica's Gales on my first playthrough. Lots of Aversa's Nights too, at least 3. Second playthrough... one of each so far. No luck at all regarding good weapon in fact, only gotten a handful. Couple Hector's Axes, those are nice.

It doesn't directly affect your combat prowess like say a -faire or -breaker skill but it's really convenient and combined with Sol or Sorc, skipping enemy phase has never been more hands off.
That's right. But you don't really need such powerful weapons except for a couple DLC.
Sure, it's very convenient. With Armsthrift, you can use these weapons whenever you want without worrying to loose them, but you don't really loose much if you don't.
The game throws at you a shit load of weapons. I'm pretty sure 90% of players here have enough weapons for at least 100 more characters when they beat the game.
It's just a matter of convenience(and I kinda did forget Celica's gale can be bought from her spotpass). In the grand scheme of things there are very few good items/skills, and if you're doing a no dlc/avoid shinies/barracks conversations, armsthrift is a valuable skill over alot of the garbage skills in the game.
You can buy infinite Celica's Gales if you summon her SpotPass team.

$31 with the packs. You can cut it to about $20 if you just want the ones with good rewards.
Holy shit. I think that just made my decision to purchase the game. I am a DLC completist and that is waaaay over my acceptable budget for handheld DLC.
Got Cherche last night. Prolly gonna waifu her out to Lon'qu. Her and that hammer tore up Ch. 12. Also I hired Eliwood. That way Lyn won't be so lonely when I get her. Most of my party have maxed out their job classes and are about ready to reclass.
Is War Monk a 2nd level class, though? Because it would explain why Libra levels up so slowly.

Two things.
1) Holy shit I have all the dlc, $31? I.. I.. god...
2) If I read that correctly, you are skipping a great game because it has too much dlc? Even if the game is complete as is and the dlc is mostly Fan Service/Challenges? =(
Yes, War Monk is the 2nd level of Priest.

Yup. It's the promoted version of priest/cleric(Lissa).

The base game has plenty of content even without the DLC. I wouldn't recommend passing on it because of that. 50 total chapters plus the tons of spotpass characters you can challenge. And the streetpass and double duel things, but I haven't messed with either of those.
That's why they roll it out slowly, so you don't realize how much you spend!
I knew I was going to pay 60-70 for the dlc (assuming they release the 2nd season) but I can't belive we are around 30 already. =(
Champions of yore
CoY1 = Recruit Marth.
CoY2 = Recruit Roy.
CoY3 = Recruit Macaiah. New Skill (All stats +2) MAYBE, is a good place to train low-mid level units
Cheat Trio (Maybe get the pack)
GG = Cheat Map for easy gold
EG = Cheat Map for easy exp (great for late and
IR = Cheat Map for easy Legendary Weapons
Lost Bloodlines
LB1= Recruit Leif.
LB2 = Recruit Alm. New Class (Berseker, male units exclusive) GET
LB3 = Recruit Seliph. New Skill (Paragon x2 exp gain) MAYBE
Smash Brethrem
SB1 = Recruit Eliniciar. Skip
SB2 = Recruit Eirikar. New Class (Bride, female units exclusive) GET
SB3 = Recruit Lyn. Iote Shield Skill (Negates flyer units weakness) MAYBE
Roge & Redeemers (High Dificulty Maps)
RR1 = Recruit Ephraim.
RR2 = Recruit Celica.
RR3 = Recruit Ike. New Skill (Limit breaker, increases the caps of a character by 10) GET
The second season, contains maps with new conversations between the characters, new challenging maps and an alternate story dealing with an alternate future.
Thursdays' the last of the first season, and if you already prepurchased it you're right on the mark.

The most relevant ones to normal play would be the Golden Pack, since you get maps that let you grind for exp, money, and legendary weapons. The Bride and Dread Fighter classes can also be useful.
Limit Break and Paragon are really useful if you're doing post-game challenges, otherwise not so much.
All Stats +2 can also be useful, especially at lower levels, but is probably the least important of the bunch. Well, other than Iote's Shield, which is full of meh. Might have been okay if it came earlier/in an easier pack. By the time you can get it you'll be so used to protecting your fliers you won't need it.
Well, we already have all of season one now. Rogues and Redeemers 3 was the last one.
I'll probably get the Ultimate Training maps and Strongest One's Name from the season 2 maps. Not sure about Future of Despair, and I'm not interested in the Bonds ones.
If you use Paragon that map never outlives it's use, except maybe on Lunatic mode. Problem is you need lots of level 30 enemies to spawn since the others aren't very useful. Maybe the level 20s too if you're freshly reclassed.
So I married Chrom and Sumia in Chapter 11. Anyone else I should marry before a certain point or anything like that (anything unlock or w/e)?
And on that point, is there anyone in particular I should marry to my male avatar? Leaning towards Tharja, Anna or perhaps Olivia when she joins.

Chrom's marriage is the only one that has a cut off since it ties into the story. The rest you can do at any point, even after you beat the game.

Yup.
My man.
Doesn't pass off his superior seed to a second child, though. For pure gameplay reasons, Tharja and Cordelia are the best choices. (cordelia if you want a galeforce wife, tharja to pass off galeforce to Noire).
The default name for the character you create (avatar or myunit).
