That's because he's already Promoted [hence the slower XP gain].
I wouldn't abuse him too much as it will cause your other warriors to not gain the proper XP.
That makes sense. I'm using him as a defense sort of unit, so he takes all of the hits and does counter-attacks.
Sounds good to me. Yeah, he makes quite the viable "wall", especially when used at chokepoints.
This is simply the best piece of FE related news.

Awesome, I'm not a complete noob.

Just did Paralogue 2, had my first casualty and first restart because of a stupid gamble I took. Was hoping Gaius could dodge a 48% Steel Axe. Fortunately I'm playing in casual so I'll restart from the previous turn and figure out something else.
Anyway, I figured out a strategy for people who have trouble getting Sumia to survive the trip to Anna:
It also helped that Anna got some lucky criticals.

Have Chrom pair with her, and when Sumia gets into the range of the archer, put Chrom in the lead spot.

This is correct.
Backlog units
Stahl
Donny
Anna
Kell- who?
My unused units list disagrees. I'll probably use them more on my next run. Surprisingly, Anna somehow fell out of the loop. I guess I was too lazy to use a Second Seal on her.
Yeeep.

Starting off with Classic Lunatic.
I'm going to hate myself when this is all over.

Have someone take his weapons away. Then he'll still serve as a wall, but he won't make any counterattacks, saving that sweet sweet XP for your other guys.
Or like 2 chapters in. :lol

Chapter 9 spoilers:
Tharja attacked and killed Ricken. And Chrom is too far away to talk and recruit her. I've done this map 3 times already.

Does anyone ever use the primary axe-wielders in these games (warriors/fighters/whatever)? They have high HP but take huge damage. They deal decent damage, but always miss. And they're pin cushions against swords, which the enemy uses a lot.
I tried using Vaike to see if he was different, but he's the usual axe guy. Benched him asap. I figure I'm doing him a favor.

Played for about 2 hours and like it. I've always liked SRPGS but Fire Emblem always kicks my ass. I have no shame about playing this on the 'No permadeath/save anywhere' difficulty
This is why you bring a pegasus knight or something to battles where you recruit people.
just bought a 3ds xl for this game
I bought one for it too! Ordered it from Amazon though, it will be here on Friday. I just got back from Target though, they had the game and even held it for me until I came to pick it up.

Ok , I let the pegasus knight chick die in like... chapter two or something. She was level one and I was just like "screw it, I'm not restarting. I hope she isn't the best character in the game or something!".
So I was also curious, what 'happens' when a character dies. Like does the game have any sort of mention or dialog "Oh yeah, so and so is dead. Bummer". But I was really surprised/disappointed that the game made no mention.
In fact it would be my only criticism of the game so far, 4.5 hours in. I thought the game should have some kind of "grave yard" or something where you can see your fallen soliders. Or maybe the other characters mention that so and so died, or have a "funeral" or SOMETHING. It's like: "Oh yeah someone died, make no mention."
It seems really out of place for a game with perma-death. I know I know I'm nitpicking a series staple, but I love the game. So I'm reaching for something to criticize I guess!

Like someone else already mentioned, it's much better to take his weapons away and have him serve as a wall only. Otherwise he counter-attacks, kills everyone and effectively robs other units of the EXP they would get.Awesome, I'm not a complete noob.
I personally have been pairing him with other units since he gives huge DEF bonuses and even +1 MOV. That way you still get the wall (depending) and the paired unit gets the EXP.
Thanks. I would have never guessed.
It seems like this game knows when I'm running low on money. Everytime I run low, some enemy is holding bullion for me. Its kind of scary.

In past games, at the credits, they'll give you a brief epilogue for each of the characters that you recruited. If they died midway, it'll state that.
I haven't used Vaike much, but I've gotten good use out of axe users in most of the games. Nolan was probably one of my top 3 characters in Radiant Dawn. You just have to make sure you pick your battles with them.
I've been pairing Vaike with that female mage almost exclusively, it really helps if he's guaranteed a kill so he won't take much damage.

Alright, I've reset Chapter 1 exactly ten times now because of the goddamn archer and the Hammer user. It's always these two that screw me over in the end.
Time to swallow my pride and switch to Hard.

Why is the Japanese and English audio so inconsistent in when it decides to play...
