As far as Owain's supports go Severa is where it's at.
This Sullly/Chrom stuff reads like a true tragedy. No one should be exposed to that kind of thing.
I saw, he's still the worst. I'll take Morgan and Inigo's support any day of the week, thank you very much.
here she died almost at the beginning, can't say I miss her.

I married Sully to Donny (who's like, my third-favourite character, by the way). The resulting Assassin Kjelle is pretty beastly.

Guys I'm on chapter 10. I see/read Donny can be beast but man...is it rough. I see that it worth getting him to 30 as a villager, what are your best leveling suggestions?
I haven't gotten any of the DLC yet.

Villager 30? No. No reason to do THAT to yourself.
Villager 15 for Underdog (bonus against higher level enemies) or just Villager 10 then using a Second Seal to reclass to Mercenary? Yes! Very, very yes. He's awesome that way.
The reason why Donny can be so powerful is due to the Aptitude skill, which adds a +20% chance a stat will increase on level up. However that doesn't really mean much if you don't actually know what kind of number crunching goes on in the background.
Basically, each character draws the chance for stat ups from two places, their innate chances and the chance provided by the class they currently are. These two chances are in %percentage form, so for example (and I'm pulling these numbers out of my ass, purely as an example) let's say Donnel's base chance at getting +1 in strength on level up is 30%, and he's a Mercenary which gives another 35% summing to a 65% per level up that strength will go up. Aptitude will add an additional 20% to that chance (and every other stat) so the chance at a strength up is now 85%. On level up, the game pulls some random numbers for each stat, and if that random number is below the %chance of a stat up (85% in this case) that stat will increase.
As an addendum, it is possible to get over 100% chance for a stat up, most commonly seen on Nowi and her HP. If the chance does go over 100% that's a guaranteed increase per level up, and the leftover percentage chance leads to another stat increase. So Nowi gets +1 HP, and rarely +2 HP per level up. Apparently the Manakete class grants a high chance for health up by itself.

Does that allow you to break caps? Or does that just mean you reach your caps sooner?

Why would anyone do that to Chrom? He's supposed to be your friend.

What do the different colors represent on the "Advanced" health bar? I've not yet seen an in-game description for it
This title is incredible so far. I'm pretty blown away that literally every aspect of the game has been executed to perfection

IIRC you can turn off the HP hues in the options.
*-Well actually 3. There is a DLC only skill call limit break which when equipped adds an additional +10 to the stat caps (so I guess it does break caps in that respect).
Caps sooner. Two things determine caps*. The stat caps of that class and the characters personal modifiers. for instance Donny has a +4 modifier to luck meaning in a promoted class it will max out at 49 rather than 45 (also with the aptitude skill he always gains luck). Donny's personal modifiers are fairly low but for the main game it isn't really that important (it only gets important maybe for harder DLC).

When he's a Lord? If you have a spare Second Seal, then sure.
He's a level 16 Lord at the moment and I do have a spare Second Seal. I figured reclassing to Cavalier would be a good idea since I could build up some skill with Lances.
Don't do that. Cavalier skills are useless and you level up weapon skills quickly either way. Chrom has bad skill selection in my opinion but Dread Fighter (DLC), Great Knight and Paladin are all classes worth checking out. Just Master Seal him to Great Lord after that. Then Second Seal -> (Dread Fighter)/Great Knight -> Paladin -> Back to Great Lord if you don't wish to witness the ultimate form of Chrom that is Paladin!
Eh, you want to reclass for skills and the cavalier lacks stuff that Chrom would want.
Great lords can use lances too! Plus you get aether and rightfull king earlier. I really don't think any of the base classes are worth for Chrom. He doesn't have acces to Vantage or Armshift.
I don't think Armsthrift would be terribly useful on Chrom anyway, since he will probably be the strongest unit in your army that can beat down everything with his infinite use Falchion.
Yeah. Promoting him before that will slow up his leveling progress and may hinder his stat growth prematurely.
He would love to use an infinite Gradivus/Ragnell. However; he is an amazing support bot.
What do we get next week?
Don't know. This was the last item on the DLC list for Europe so far.

I gotta say, this is one of those Nintendo games that encourage players to take breaks the right way. If I'm trying to level up a bunch of characters, I need to fight a lot of Risen. The way they pop up by leaving the game off for a while encourages you to take a break when there's nothing else to do. It's beautiful.
A far cry from having a message pop up saying; stop playing our game, it's unhealthy.

Well, the game still does that, too. If you play for a long time and go to the save file screen, you might see Anna reminding you to take breaks on the bottom screen.
You haven't noticed Anna telling you to remember to take breaks after playing a couple of battles?
But yeah, free stuff for not playing the game is pretty nice.
Anna tells you to take breaks all the time and so do characters in the Barracks.
thanks!
i will i just wanted to know which ones to buy first!
i was gonna buy another copy then all the dlc but this works too
i cant believe my luck with this one...FREEEEEEEE...
and its tied for my fave game this year...imagine that
i was gonna buy another copy then all the dlc but this works too
As said before, you can't do that. The packs become unavailable for purchase if you buy any of their respective DLC pieces. You can only either buy the pack or purchase the pack's contents individually.

That depends on the time of day it is. They don't do it all the time. I was referring to the kind of message that interrupts the gameplay. The kind in the Wii Sports games and others.
I was just saying that it's good that the game rewards you for not playing as well.

Huh, never knew that.
I guess mostly cause I play in short bursts in instead of leaving it on all the time.
Grr, damn those reinforcements. :l Even when I plan for them out comes a Wyvern Rider with a Tomahawk.
And Sully is still awesome. Stop the hate. lol Seeing red-haired Morgan as a cavalier reminds me of my beloved Sully ;_; Now if I can actually finish that stage.
I love the pacing of the main story and the extra paralogues. I hope they do this for the next game.

Warclerk has good skills so no big deal. Go for grandmaster next.
Tiki wants to remain a manakete.

Should still reclass her for skills, even if Manakete is her best final class. She can grab a couple breaker skills from the Wyvern tree and Lifetaker from Dark Knight.
Assuming you're MU was magic based. Your Morgan would want to visit the following classes unpromoted (merc/myrmidon) promoted (Hero/Great Knight/Sage/Dark Flier) with the ending class either being Sage/Sorceror/Grandmaster. Without the dlc skills, you're Morgan would have (armsthrift/sol (luna or ignis if sorceror)/galeforce/vantage/tomefaire).
