Honestly, I don't really consider these maps to be fun per say if we're not counting the amount of fanservice each map has.
The problem resides (for me) is that just like in the main campaign, your basically just playing Rout the Enemy type of maps. While they themselves are not bad, it really becomes a problem since they were to abundant in Awakening.
My personal favorite maps that I consider fun (and challenging) to me are the ones in the past games that usually consisted of Defend x for a number of turns and usually Fog of War maps, that are sadly absent from this game.
lol.
My waifu doesn't need awesome muscles when she has (canon!) best body.

I tried, the problem is this one guy keeps coming in and one-shotting her through the wall.
Haven't tried the rescue staff option though. Gonna have to look in to that. Thanks for the help.

Eerie. I lost Vaike on that map for the same reason. Schooool's out forever
Just did the Harvest Scramble map. I bet I've seen something really rare now. Lissa using a Master Seal to become a War Cleric while
. Kind of both killed the moment and made it a lot more funny at the same time.
Also, for the record. You know what's a dick move?
That's a dick move. Well played IS, well played. Free tip,
Nowi and Tharja pretty much carried this one. Good thing I can buy a new Dragonstone. Nowi pretty much burned through the last quarter of one.

Counter+Miracle on a slow low Def enemy with 50 Luck.
look at all the enemies, find the ones with Counter and mark them. They are many and they ALL have Miracle and 50 Luck. Stay OUT of their attack range until you can kill them with a ranged attack!
Mine survived through the power of love! Vaike <3 Sully. "WATCH OUT!" Tink! *NO DAMAGE* Aww...Eerie. I lost Vaike on that map for the same reason. Schooool's out forever
Aye, I learned about that the hard way in EXPonential Growth. Guess this DLC has fighting in it after all!
Some of the 5-star DLCs certainly don't kid around. My avatar has a rating of 314 and can get taken out by a single enemy. Rogues and Redeemers 2 has me at a wall; it's the first time my strategy of "send the tank first and mop up with weaker units" hasn't worked. I really don't want to grind Galeforce on everyone, maybe I'll just wait for a 3DS Action Replay. Others, like Death's Embrace, are easy enough as I can just power-elixer my way through them.

That explains it. All my Vaike had was an unrequited bromance with Chrom.
He can join Chroms unrequited harem with Frederick, they lay it on even thicker in this newest dlc.

Fixed it for you.
Yup it has fighting. The Boss is a little nasty, mostly because of how much HP it has with that same skill combo. Respect it.
Soul Hackers can take a break.

Technically, Marth has one unique quote for some reason. When he finds an item in a shinning tile:
Every other bonus/DLC character has a different generic quote when they find an item in a shinning tile:
But, yeah, no bonus units or DLC units talk at all aside from that one quote. They're set to the "silent" voice type, an avatar voice type that was in the Japanese versions but was cut from the other ones to reduce the game's script (because it rewrites every single scene with the avatar to make them work with a silent protagonist). They all seem to be basically Avatars with tweaked stats/skills in basically every way, down to the 3d model. Marth is slightly different with his model recycled from Lucina's (she gets short hair as a dark knight for some reason) and his ability to wield the Falchion, but even so the differences stop there and he's the same as the others spotpass/DLC otherwise.

I'm officially hooked on the marriage aspect. I did not expect this to happen. Had my first couple get marriage besides Chrom (and Sumia). Kellam and Cordelia. They're so sweet together and Cordelia can ferry him across the map and he can defend her. Perfect match. I really liked their supports, too!

Pretty fun aspect of the game.
Promoted a lot of my guys. Kellam to General, Cordelia to Dark Flier, Chrom to Great Lord, Virion to Bow Knight, Lon'qu to Assasin. Already had Ricken as Dark Knight, though I'll probably make him Sorcerer later on. Currently working on Cherche.
Man I love this game

Hold down L before a unit (the enemy or your own) heads into battle. It'll turn off battle animations as long as it's held. It's useful if you don't want to disable them outright, but want to get a turn over with.Third time I restarted hoping to pass Chapter 5 finally. I keep getting stuck trying to get both Ricken and Maribelle out safely. Not easy
Do you guys play with disabled battle scenes? I do like it alot but with all the restarts it eventually really slows you down.
Interesting, thanks!
Sorry, was busy training the new guy.
Still got a long way to go.
He should be able to S support Say'ri.
Like Flavia should be able to S Basilio

Yeah, I ended up turning off all the animations pretty quickly and ended up setting "Skip Actions" to "Movement" as well. The animations can be nice, but grinding for supports and stuff takes long enough with everything off--I couldn't imagine doing it with all the animations turned on. xDThird time I restarted hoping to pass Chapter 5 finally.

Female DLC/SpotPass characters do make grunts and such in battle in the Japanese track.

Well, Kincaido's got the CDF which is probably the largest force for now. You should totally go for Nowi. <_<

Tharja is the correct answer.
Seriously, the fact that Flavia and Basilio can't at least S support (even without having kids) is just balls.
Lon'Qu/Miriel.
Yes! I've only done thheir C support but it was amazing

Is the Scramble pack the English name for the Summer of Bonds dlc? If so I need to get that.
Yes, it is.

The icon for the Scramble Pack and Harvest Scramble is pretty adorable.
It is, but can you imagine if both Khans were to get married? There'd probably be all sorts of riots and conspiracies about the two wanting to topple the system. I figure they're both old enough to just know.
...why are all my favourite characters the ones with the least supports.
I was thinking of Anna at first too, but I looked at her supports online and there didn't seem to be much...love? Cute poses, but there didn't seem to be much involved with her; no work. Seems like she'd say goodbye and slip through the Gate for riches the first chance she got. I had to risk death by poking and wolves to get my sweet

That's Mire, a long range dark tome that you should be able to pick up somewhere soon, if not already. You'll see it a lot later.

So... nah's mission...
Are sorcerers supposed to be able to attack really far away or is it just a special exception for the enemy?

That's just another localization glitch. They didn't have make any sounds in the original Japanese game, and they don't if you set the language to English. It probably has to do with their removal of one of the Japanese voices for females (and one for males) in addition to removing the silent voices. I guess something ended up messed up regarding the voices assigned to them in the Japanese track. But, still, they don't get the avatar's generic quotes for the text, only battle voices.
There's a dark tome called "Mire" which allows long range attacks. I think there's only one obtainable in the main story, but you can buy more from Gharnef (bonus character from Shadow Dragon).

There's just one magic tome that lets you attack at a range of 3~10, Mire, which is a dark magic tome.
Pretty rare normally, but easily buyable repeatedly from Gharnef's SpotPass team.

Alright, good to know, because I kept thinking "Bullshit!" when I was playing.
Also, regarding spotpass teams, how does it actually work?
