I usually go for Counter, but it's only really good for trolling StreetPass or as a last resort defence against super tough enemies.
Because normally you don't want to get hit and damaged by enemies.

Only one that is arguably worth it in the Champions pack is 3, since you get All Stats +2.
I'd say buying all of it is a poor value, especially the "season 1" DLC. The ones that are definitely worth it:
Golden Pack: Cheat DLC for money/exp.
Lost Bloodlines 2: Dread Scrolls for Dread Fighter class
Lost Bloodlines 3: Paragon to make grinding much faster
Smash Brethren 2: Wedding Bouquet for Bride Class
Rogues and Redeemers 3: Limit Break
And maybe Champions of Yore 3 for All Stats +2.
That would be $17, $19.50 if you get CoY3 too.
Second Season DLC is better, you can make an argument that all of it is worth it. Challenge pack for some actually difficult maps, Scramble pack if you like the characters, conversations, waifus, etc, Future of Despair (next pack) for some more story about Grima and the kids, and Strongest One's Name for the game's ultimate challenge.
You can also grab one of the scramble maps just for shiny tile grinding disregarding the conversations since there are a ton of them on each map.
What classes is the kid going to have access to? Because my default choice would be Axefaire.
This boss can surprises you easily if you are not prepared to fight it. Not only does it do magic damages instead of physical damages (and, well, most of your characters don't have high Resistance at this point of the game), but it also has quite high Speed, which means he will double-attack units who are too slow.
Really tricky (heh).
Which is why I married her to Frederick, the butler knight.
You got any advice on how to beat him?

He also proceeds to chase you down if you get to close instead of stand there and get smacked around like previous bosses.
Clear as many enemies in front of him as you can without aggro-ing him, lure him with your highest res unit, then smash him with a good paired unit or two on your turn. As long as he doesn't double you, you should be fine. I don't really remember having any trouble with him apart from the fact he aggro'd sooner than I expected him to the first time.
Don't get near him until all the reinforcements are done spawning. The boss won't attack you unless you enter his range or the range of his personal guards (he has 6 units surrounding him that will move at the same time towards you if you enter their attack range, and the boss will follow them).
When you're ready to fight him, position your units just in the attack range of his personal guards, so that your units will kill them by counter-attacking, leaving only the boss and maybe 2 or 3 guards to take down once it's your turn again.
As for the boss himself... Well, use your best unit, pair it with an another unit who will provide high Res and/or Speed bonus (such as Sumia and Cordelia), and kill him. Also equip a good weapon. If that's not enough, you still have Olivia to give you an additional turn, and other units (though be cautious: you want to take down the boss and his remaining guards in the same turn, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises).

Why doesn't Cherche have Rosanne's pseudo-French accent, anyway? It's even more fitting for her!
That boss taught me one thing: Always check if the boss has a movement range. If it does, it will move. Select it with A to highlight the area the boss will attack you in, then step around it until you want to fight.
You might want to consider having Lissa pair up with the one who's going to fight him if you need more Res. Clerics give a decent Res bonus as the second one in a pair.

Dark Knight? She is a beast as a Dark Knight especially when she gets the HP damage absorb ability and has very decent attack stats for a caster (dat defense!). Nobody touches me with her. Quite ironic considering that she is a dark mage specialist.
I went with Tharja and Chrome due to her mentioning that she had a crush on him before they even got any support conversation. Probably my favourite new Fire Emblem character due to her awesome defense and decent attack growth. (and creepy personality!)
Any funny support conversation between Gaius? I thought it was quite boring pairing him up with Cherche.
Oh, thanks for the info. I will marry my Avatar to Anna then. I love Anna and I want a kid from here ^-^ Currently I'm also trying to marry Lissa to Virion and Tharja to Kellam.

Threw Tharja and Gaius together for a few excursions and they ended up married lol. They paired up exactly 4 times too, maybe 5, point is it didn't take very long. He must have shown her his candy cane
Not sure who to pair up the main character with. Anna is all about that paper which I can respect but Cordelia is so... waifu
Now I know what you fools have been doing in here for the last 2 months. God damn! This shit is tough

Glorious Anna in her glorious bikini.
Yes, Yes you do. They're my favorite DLC right now even though it doesn't really add anything substantial to the game.

She's great as a Sorcerer and since she is Avatars child, she can get all the skills available to her that Tharja can't, making her a really strong just like her parents.
Good classes to start out would be the Dark Flier class (kinda ironic since she wields a bow) for Galeforce and Mercenary for Armshift for those forged Nosferatu and Aversa Night's.
- Sorcerer should be her end class.
- Dark Knight should be done next so she can obtain the Lifetaker skill.
- Making her into a General is hilarious and is good for Pavise, which adds to her tanky DEF.
- Great Knight is kinda useless. She really doesn't need Luna and Dual Guard + is okay only if you want her paired all the time.
- Archer/Sniper is good if you want to increase her Skill growth since hers is the only bad thing about her. The only skill they have which might be useful to her (and useless to everyone else) is Hit Rate +20, but only if your doing a Lunatic run and want her to be by herself for awhile.
Depends on how you want your skills set up.
I have a Wrath, Vantage, Vengence, Limit Breaker, Lifetaker/Miracle setup which makes my Avatar practically unkillable.

Wrath/Vantage/Vengeance works really well when you use a Sorcerer with Ruin, since it already has a base critical rate of 50. My avatar is set up with that, with a decent support bonus and Gamble I get nearly 100% crit. Even without it's usually in the 70s or so.

So if I wanted to have the most possible characters with Galeforce, would I need to have a female MU?
chaosblade
Unconfirmed Member
He'll make a good Berserker or Hero so Axefaire will be nice for him, either class would make good use of that.
But he'll have access to all Gregor's skills anyway, so it's not terribly important what he passes down. I'd go for one of the skills you think you might use in a class you probably won't touch much. Getting Swordfaire could save you five levels of Swordmaster for example.
On the other hand he randomly does not get Wyvern Rider from his mom despite the fact it's not gender exclusive, so you probably want to pass down Lancebreaker from her (helps against Beastkiller lances).
No, you can pair MaleMU with a female that has a daughter and can't pass down PegKnight like Tharja. That way you get both FemaleMorgan and the other Daughter with access to all the non male classes.
If you get FemaleMU, you can only get a second child if you pair her with Chrom. And Lucina can get Galeforce from anyone but Sully. MaleMorgan can inherit Galeforce from FemaleMU but every other kid is unafected.

I don't know what it is about Pegesus Knights, but they seem to be weak against EVERYTHING, not only Archers. They're down in 2 hits max, no matter who you put them up against.
They've got pretty good resistance against magic attacks. You could also try equipping them with javelins and spears so that enemies can't counter attack them.

They're meant to be a quick dodgy type, not the type that can take a lot of damage. They work well as mage-killers and Res tanks, as long as the mage doesn't have a wind tome. You should feed kills to them to get their levels up.
That would explain why they get access to lance faire from falcon knight....they need it.
Just passed down Galeforce to Lucina. Feels good and Olivia is now a beast! Gonna reclass her to Swordmaster as soon as I get more Second Seals 
I know have Sumia, Olivia and Cordelia with Galeforce. YEAH. Love taking out a Sniper, active Galeforce, switch to husband and take out another Sniper/Archer. Feels GOOD MAN

Completely different, ha. That's a harder decision since they have access to so many other skills and classes. Means you can do combos with Wrath, although that's not always reliable (my Ruin-crit Sorcerer MU is pretty good though and just ripped through R&R3). Axefaire would be useless if you intend to use them as Manaketes, and you probably won't be using Wrath either in that case.
Coin flip between those two basically, unless you know for sure you want to use those characters as Manaketes. In that case you might as well go Wrath since it at least has some use in that class.

Yes, Sol is one of the best skills in the game, and Hero is an all around great class. While Bow Knight is an all around mediocre class with no stand-out skills. Unless you really want Bowbreaker on a flier or something.
Just got the game , but made the mistake of reading up info beforehand, so now I can't decide which Avatar to make .
For a first playthrough, female MU* Chrom is the best pairing right? (i 'll be playing on Normal/classic).
But on personal taste , I wanted to make a small male MU(with magic asset) that would marry one of the game's female mages (miriel or tharja)
I never replay games right away so i'd like to get most of the story first time.
(I am still not sure how much the marriage/children stuff impacts the main story, didn't want to get spoiled too much)
Please Gaf, help me overcome my OCD

Just do whatever the first time. None of the choices you're looking at impact the story at all. You can come back and do a more ideal playthrough once you have a grasp of all the game systems.

Why y'all going after Donnel?
The motherfucker will kill you and your entire family.
Do enemies avoid units that can kill them during their counterattacks in the higher difficulties? It's getting pretty stupid now

The AI doesn't play to win. It plays to make you lose. Also making AI avoid attacks where they have 0% to make damage would make the game extremely frustrating.
You can pretty much choose anything that looks cool. They're all pretty good.
