Oh well. Is it lv10 promoted when I can switch to another promoted class with second seal?
Yes.

Katarina's Bolt is the *best* Thunder-based spell in this game, if not flatout best offensive spells in the game. Although Mjolnir's animation looks awesome.
I stick Mjolnir with the Avatar and forged Katarina's Bolt with Brady and Noire--along with forged Aversa's Night for the latter just for shit and giggles.

At the very least stick with it up to 15 to get Lifetaker, one of the game's best skills.

FE12 received an excellent fan translation for people that are willing to go that route. It's a great game.

At least get the Lifetaker skill first. It's one of the best skills in the game.

Huh, alright. Might as well stick with it now that I've done it.

Man, sorcerers are just too ridiculous in this game.
I mean, the ability to wield dark tomes and stuff like Katarina's Bolt and Mjolnir and Rexcalibur and shit?
It would be better If they can only use dark tomes so at least people have reasons to not turn everybody into Sorcerers, hahaha.
At the very least make their defense low like typical magic units, but noooooooooooo......................
You know what's the most ridiculous thing about the whole affair?
The fact that the paralogue map to recruit Anna appears before that. "Chrom, we must hurry!!!" "Wait, I want to go at the other side of the map first to recruit someone I barely even know!" Hahaha.
Well, you don't have to do it right away, true. But still, silly.

Hell yeah! Paralogue > Story. Duh.
My Ricken is tearing things apart. Him (just a Mage so far), Rena (my main character Mercenary), Stahl (Great Knight), and Donnel (still just a Villager, but dem stat gains) are just too strong.

If nothing else, it's a tanky cavalry mage who can still switch to swords when facing other mages with higher Resistances. It's got a lot of options.
And lifetaker is indeed really good.
While true, I think sol is better in the long run (if you have the option, of course).
A guaranteed chance to gain half your life after a fight is awesome, but since it only happens on your turn, when Sol can (I think?) happen on an enemy's turn in 'response' to being damaged, wouldn't that be better for overall survival on any map that isn't Death's Embrace?

Sumia and Gaius's supports summed up in one word:
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.

Well, Sol competes its activation proc with many awesome skills too such as Astra, while Lifetaker is freed from such restriction.
I prefer Sol as well, but being able to get a full health restore on a unit with Galeforce is nice for the ones the can't get Sol. Also, it doesn't conflict with other skills like Luna and Ignis.

Yeah. ;.; If you want more of those feels, a character will automatically join your army at the start of Chapter 13. Get that character's supports with Ricken as they deal with that same kind of subject.

True, I had forgotten about the conflict, since I generally only use one offensive skill.
Armsthrift+Limit Break+(insertweapon)faire+Galeforce(or vantage/a certain breaker skill if not applicable) doesn't tend to leave much room, lol.
Another reason to wish for more built-in class skills to keep things more...balanced and less about which class has access to dark magic (read:Nosferatu) or Galeforce+Armsthrift while being able to snag the most support skills along the way.
Well, Sumia and Chrom's is basically PIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES, so there's that.

Of course, the best thing is not having to choose at all. And just throwing Renewal on top for good measure. Like so (All Stats+2 is just a filler because I stopped caring and got bored at that point and don't have the Limit Breaker DLC (haven't bought it because I've spent more than I planned to on DLC as it is and will probably spend more once the Bonds DLC come out, don't really need it, and can't be bothered to grind my units up more to make use of the higher stat caps anyway), or else that would probably replace it):
Redundant? Perhaps. But too tempting not to do on one character, just for the sake of having something different like this (and SpotPass Tiki is the only character I've done this on). xD

So is anyone having trouble accessing the outrealm DLC shop?
I go to the screen where it says you have to use touchscreen, click ok and it kicks me back.

With Limit Breaker?
I think the highest STR stat I got is with Gerome (Berserker) with 68~ STR with Limit Breaker lol.

Yeah with Limit Breaker.
Hoooooo Gerome huh. Haven't trained him extensively yet. But I will keep him in Wyvern Lord--it feels *wrong* to have him in any other class

Well as long as you're not going to buy the hardest dlc that is more than enough for the game proper.
elsewise all stats +2 is a shitty skill

No one else has the same DLC problems?
I've never experienced this and still haven't. Seems like an EU thing for some reason.
I have a weird issue regarding the DLC. I just reached the Outrealm Gate, and when I enter it and try to buy anything, all I get is a message "Use touch controls in the following menus" - I press OK, and it throws me back to the main menu of the Outrealm Gate, and I'm unable to buy any of the maps.
What gives? I'm in Europe, my eShop and 3ds region is set to Finland.

Just gave it a shot, it booted me out as soon as I hit okay
It's my understanding that multiple Europeans are experiencing this issue. Don't know why it's happening, though.
Play however you want.

Are you reading the tutorial slides? They should explain everything. Plus, you can click on practically everything with your stylus, and a description will pop up.
But there is no "wrong" way to play this game. Past Fire Emblems could be pretty strict, but this one grants the player unprecedented freedom.
Started with hard and permadeath. Already lost one character in the fourth mission... dat critical hit on a full health character...
Loving the game. Amazing production values, incredible performance (zero loading, 60fps map mode) and the story doesn't make me want to murder my eyes like most JRPG do.
Best game on 3DS?

Not really. Sol is only behind Lethality, Aether, and Astra in priority, and it has a higher chance of activation than any of those, or any other occult/mastery skill that isn't Luna or Vengeance.
That's as far as I have gone so far too, I feel like the thread has passed me by.
Laughing Banana
Weeping Pickle
Well, it still competes regardless, because if Sol happens in a strike then in that strike Astra cannot happen, just like Lethality or Aether or Ignis or Luna or Vengeance. It's not like when performing Astra Sol can proc.
See, Lifetaker doesn't have to worry about that.

The only really infinite respawning map is the last battle, though.

Aw, henry and lissa is pretty cute together, though I pretty much got them together because there wasn't any other viable male option for lissa.
